I think this whole "Benoit can't cut a promo" thing is vastly overused. Frankly, if he's given his lines ahead of time and works on them, his promos can actually be good. Granted, he'll probably never be in, say, Kurt Angle's league or The Rock's league, but he's really not horrible. I remember in 2001, his promo skills were actually nice because he was able to get his lines ahead of time. He can't ad lib, of course, but frankly, when you're that good of a wrestle, you don't have to.

Benoit could easily thrive in a Bret Hart type gimmick, acting as a fighting champ.
