And yes - Benoit making Lesnar tap (cleanly and one on one) would have gone over big time.




Looking back in hindsight, it would have been MUCH better for either Guerrero or Cena to defect to RAW instead of Benoit.

The problem with Benoit when he defected to RAW (and faced HHH/HBK at mania) was that he wasn't OVER enough as a CREDIBLE main-eventer.


Guys like John Cena and Eddie Guerrero however, WERE.

Call me an eternal optimist, but if Cena or Guerrero had defeated HHH/HBK in the same manner that Benoit did, then I'd be willing to bet that EITHER of those guys would've garnered MUCH more TV time than Benoit did.
I agree, 100%. Cena & Guerrero have that little bit of energy and character to them that Benoit doesn't quite have captured. On a more wrestling-based brand, like what SmackDown! could've been, Benoit would have thrived as Heavyweight Champion. Who knows, if Triple H had lost to either Guerrero or Cena then maybe the WWE would be in at a high-point right now?
