Yes, but I was referring to their respective PEAKS. Benoit is champion NOW.


Benoit is getting decent face pops, but I question his ability to bring in new fans. From where I sit, he's nothing more than a "poor man's Bret Hart" as a face.

I think a guy like Jericho can elicit a bigger face pop if he was in Benoit's position right now. I think a FACE Chris Jericho, could potentially BRING IN new fans (or fans that have deserted wrestling).

Benoit's reaction may be just as big as anyone elses on the roster, but is this a good thing? He's the CHAMP. His pops should undoubtedly be the LARGEST....like Guerrero's on Smackdown.
