Well, once again I think that you are wrong. If the buildup to this match is good, and the match itself is good, then fans will definately be into the match. It's not like Lesnar/Goldberg is gonna be a 5star classic that fans will remember forever. Benoit/HHH will have no problem putting on a much better match that will have fans on the edge of their seats, and for that reason I think that Benoit/HHH will not be overshadowed by Goldberg/Lesnar.
I guess my biggest fear, is that Lesnar/Goldberg will overshadow Benoit/Triple H in the same manner that Rock/Hogan did for Triple H/Jericho back at WM-18.

I realize that Jericho/Triple H was built up VERY poorly at the time (and the WWE will most likely do a better job in building up Benoit/Triple H), but I still have my concerns.

The New York fans do tend to be more knowledgeable and 'smarkish' than most other fans (which is good for a WRESTLER like Benoit), but consider the following.........

-Wrestlemania will be a 5 hour show (LONG!).
-In light of matches such as Lesnar/Goldberg, Angle/Guerrero, and seeing other 'legends' such as Austin, The Rock, Foley, Shawn Michaels, (and possibly Hulk Hogan) in one shape or form, Benoit and Triple H will have a LOT stacked against them......in terms of keeping the fans INTERESTED after 4 and a half hours or so.


I would LOVE for the fans to be 'into Benoit' and would LOVE to see Benoit get the apprporiate crowd response if he defeats Triple H.

Based on all things considered however, I'm not sure if this will be possible. I hope I'm wrong.
