QUESTION - Will Chris Benoit be destined to turn HEEL after Wrestlemania?

Ok.

So here is "what we know" (or what he can safely assume).

-Chris Benoit is a part of the Raw brand now
-Chris Benoit will 'most likely' win the Raw World title at Wrestlemania.
-There is a strong chance that Triple H will be gone for a bit after Wrestlemania, while Goldberg may not even be a part of the WWE (let alone Raw).

So..........Chris Benoit would be a face World champion, with no Triple H or Goldberg on the show.

Who becomes Benoit's future opponents?

Faces on Raw
-Shawn Michaels
-Jericho
-RVD
-Booker T
(Foley?)
(The Rock?)
(Austin?)

(I list Foley, The Rock, and Austin because they still have 'face images'.....even if they no longer wrestle on a full-time basis......they still oppose heels).

Heels on Raw
-Kane
-Randy Orton
-Dave Batista
-Matt Hardy
-Christian
-Test
-Steiner

So - you've to ask yourself............is it in Benoit's best interests to stay face after Wrestlemania?

Benoit vs. Kane would be lackluster IMO. Orton will still work in the mid-cards. Batista is a homosexual, while Matt Hardy, Christian, Test, and Steiner are unsuitable opponents.

Benoit vs. Jericho would make the marks' penises erect, as would Benoit/Shawn Michaels. Benoit and RVD have also had some decent matches in the past. Maybe Benoit and The Rock can go at it once more (before The Rock leaves), while Benoit and Foley could go at it as well.

Benoit can look 'ungrateful' by being a dick to Austin (since Austin was the guy that brought Benoit to Raw and gave him props).

See where I'm going with this?

Benoit would probably be better suited to being a heel. He can 'shock' the fans somehow a month later?

Maybe this could happen. A month after Benoit wins the title, he is in a match with Shawn Michaels. The two put on a fucking CLINIC. However, Evolution comes out (for apparently no reason). Strangely enough, Evolution starts helping out Benoit. Benoit wins the match.

New Evolution
-Benoit
-Flair
-Batista
-Orton

(Triple H has been kicked out of Evolution due to his loss at Mania').

Speaking of Triple H, he can come back and oppose Benoit as a face as well.

Basically, Benoit would have more 'marquee' opponents as a heel. Unless you want to see awkward heel turns from either Jericho, RVD, Booker T, or (Austin/Foley/The Rock), I think Benoit would be cooler as a heel (kind of like he was in 2000).

Maybe Benoit can become 'obsessed' in staying as world champion (since he's worked so damned hard in becoming it). He will do ANYTHING to stay world champ. ANYTHING! :foc:
