This isn't so much unique to Benoit but he's the greatest example. Nowadays, a Steve Austin may just have met the same fate.

I think Benoit would have fared better had he stayed on SmackDown but then we wouldn't have gotten an Eddie Guerrero reign either. They were on similar paths, and seemingly fell from grace at about the same time.

Eddie is putting on the heel performance of a lifetime (well, until the lame secret came out) on SmackDown....but he's chasing no titles.

Benoit is.... well....being WCW-ed on SmacKDown right now. Not saying he should go after Batista but maybe a heel turn is in order. It's been a long time since we've seen Benoit go that route.
