This whole thing with Hunter is going much as I figured it would. Hunter got everything he wanted. He got to headline the "biggest show of all time", he had arguably the match of the night by surrounding himself with two of the best workers int he company (HHH held his own as well, dont get me wrong), and now he looks like a hero for doing a squeky clean JOB.
Now he can let Benoit run with the ball, and as we all know Benoit will not increase business all that much, Hunter can shoot his movie, and then come back and say "I did a JOB at Mania, so nobody can refuse to lay down". He'll get the title back by Summerslam (at the very latest) and we'll be back to the familiar spot of HHH on top. The roster shuffle is a bonus because he'll get some fresh talent to work with when he comes back.
Nobody should be going crazy patting Hunter on the back, but at the same time at least he put over Benoit clean, and did what he could to make him look good. Hey I'll praise him for that, I know he has a plan, but I'll give him credit for doing his first proper JOB since Taker 3 years ago.
