When I say benoit influenced a lot of people, I don't specifically mean his move set, but just that high workrate match style that guys like him, eddie and kurt utilized. He wasn't the only one, he was one of the guys at the forefront, and a poster boy for high impact style.
Whether you like the direction the industry has taken you can't deny that it heavily emphasized workrate, and benoit played a large part in the business moving in that direction.
