QUESTION - Can anyone see Benoit DRAWING as World Champion as a face? If so - on what basis?
-Austin had his 'novel' "beat up my boss" gimmick.
-The Rock was a genius on the mic
-Hulk Hogan represented what an " American hero" should be, and the fans 'got off' on that.
What does Benoit bring to the table as a face? Couldn't one argue that he is just as "poor man's" Bret Hart? How much did Bret draw as a face?
How does Benoit relate to the target audience? (i.e. teenagers, people in their early 20's).
-Jericho has great mic skills.
-Guerrero can attract Latino's
-Cena has the 'Eminem 8 mile battle rapper" gimmick
Can Benoit's "talent" alone really bring in NEW fans? NEW is the key word here.
If the WWE are content in scoring mid 3's in their ratings, then Benoit is perfect. This topic is then pointless.
