Not exactly a classic, and Benoit did kind of look like a chump in it, but it told the story well, and Austin got to showcase his technical moveset that he hadn't used in a long while.
Austin and Benoit had two classic matches on back to back shows. It's too bad Benoit didn't get at least one victory out of it but oh well. Incidently I have both matches. Plus the one you're talking about Nowhere Man, and actually another one from SD in 02. Benoit really brought the best out Austin in his later days.
