I think the longer a person has watched wrestling, the bigger a Benoit fan they probably are, but to the casual viewer just flipping through the channels, Chris Benoit really is nothing special. It hurt to type that last sentence, but really, besides being amazing in the ring (which really isn't that important in the GRAND scheme of things, ask the Undertaker if you don't believe me), what else has Benoit got going for him? Mic skills? Nah. Charisma? Not so much to notice. He's just a great guy and a great wrestler, and the whole reign was probably the WWE's way of saying "Thanks dude, you rock". I don't have any numbers, but it would be interesting to know what kind of numbers the WWE did during his reign. Anybody have them?

doesn't matter what numbers he did. HHH/HBK headlines the shows. So those shows numbers, bad or good, were more thier doing.
