All I'm saying is that it doesn't make sense, and that it damages Benoit's credibility. If I'm going to enjoy wrestling I have to be able to watch it as a mark. If things are going to happen that take the nature of the work and slap me in the face with it, I'm not going to be able to do that. It's still real to me, dammit, at least while I'm watching the show. I'm not complaining as a Benoit mark or even a wrestling fan, I'm complaining as a fan of good storytelling, and jobbing Benoit to a weak-ass STF is equivalent to watching a vampire movie in which Dracula gets killed by blunt-force trauma to the head from a lead pipe.
That does not make sense!
