When the main event is as injured as it is, excuses like "He hasn't got the mic skills" shouldn't really apply. At least not in the same way that they would with a full roster. If somebody wanted to make an excuse not to use Batista, I could give three: He isn't over. He doesn't have the wrestling ability, and he doesn't have the mic skills to be a main eventer either.
I'm not saying that they should automatically go with Benoit, but there are plenty of upper midcarders who should be given the ball and see what they're going to do with it. The one ray of sunshine amid all of these injuries is that they happend to the WWE during a particularly slow time of year PPV-wise. If we were a month away from Summerslam, I'd say go with whatever main eventer you have (Batista). But how many PPVs are between now and then? 2? I think with proper booking, you could be safe bumping up an upper midcarder at this point.
