This man has put on 5-star matches over most of his career. He is arguably the best technical wrestler around today. I will agree with you that he isn't great on the mic, but you can compare him to someone like Bret Hart and see the legend that he left behind with great wrestling. This latest 'sports-entertainment' wrestling environment requires a combination of mic skills and wrestling ability in order to be on top. I still really enjoy watching Benoit's matches, especially at PPV's because that is where wrestling skill is the spotlight. I say that Benoit stays champ till Summerslam where HHH wins it, let Benoit have a short feud with HHH to get the belt back (or have a high profile feud with another main eventer), and if the fans aren't behind him, then let him go back to the midcard. Until that happens, however, keep him in the main event scene because the fans still cheer him with vigor.
