[Kane Knight]

Imagine Kane putting Benoit through tables, making him bloody, and imagine Kane laughing maniacally as medics attend to Benoit... Pros of that: Kane looks very good. He can at least save some of his psychopath image that way. Also, Benoit doesn't have to drop the title to him. Cons of that: Benoit may lose some image that way. Anyone squashed is bound to look that way. Now I'm not saying Kane squashes Benoit in 5 min and gets DQed, but an entirely dominant Kane may make Benoit bad, like "Even Undertaker can beat him, even Edge can beat him, why can't the friggin' champ beat him?".

the problem is, it's the safest sitch in my estimation.

Any instance where KAne comes off looking strong runs the risk of Benoit looking weak. However, this has the least collateral damage in my opinion.

1. Kane is not the world title holder. This should be stressed because of how much of a jobber he's been of late.
2. Kane still comes off as pretty strong, because Benoit's a solid guy, and Kane really only loses because he's not playing the same game.
3. Benoit still has the strap. I never thought I'd be able to use that phrase, so I figured I'd throw it in.
4. Kane can be easily integrated into a main even program where he sets out to destroy Benoit, or whatever.
5. Benoit isn't totally chumped out. He might look weak, he might not, but at least he doesn't truly lose. If the title exhanges hands, it looks even dodgier for Chris.

Personally, i like the idea of Kane No-Selling the Crossface. Imagine him taking the Crossface from Benoit, then just totally flipping?
