This is a pretty unfair assessment. Benoit was incredibly over for a very long time prior to his WrestleMania win. He'd had show stealing matches with everyone from The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. His victory at the Royal Rumble put him over the top and gave the WWE main event scene a badly needed breath of fresh air.

His World Title run was a sham. He was overshadowed week in and week out by Triple H's lesser storylines against the likes of Eugene and Shelton Benjamin, and even when he defended the title against Orton at SummerSlam, he was never given the ball and built as "The Guy" on RAW. They didn't really give him a chance.
