The Liontamer was discouraged by WWE because it legitimately wrenches the neck of whoever's in it. Guys like Rey Mysterio and Dean Malenko could take it easily, but in WWE, Jericho's putting it on bigger guys like Triple H and Christian.
Obviously, Benoit's a bit smaller. Also, it was a bit of a reference to Benoit's japanese history. Benoit used the hold before Jericho ever did - in fact, he used it in his 1995 match vs Jericho.
