Benoit suplexed Viscera a few months ago and I thought, "Here's a guy who made it on a show where having no character means getting a pink slip very soon, and he's still there doing his damndest to make a fake sport legit."
Look at the way he adds 'struggles' to his move applications, making the term Locking it In a legit term. It's little things like that I loved about his matches.
When people bash prowrestling about how fake the action was, Benoit was one of those guys you would talk about when you wanna convince someone about the physicality of it all. You can't fake a suplex, you can't fake that loud smack of a knife edge chop, you can't fake that grin of his.
Like his pants art said a few years ago; he was 4Real.
