ONE ON ONE

Well, you factor in the fact that wrestling is not REAL, and that factors that should be unimportant in a REAL environment are very much significant, and things change.

Example: You've taken ten chairshots to the head, and are open and bleeding. The crowd cheers your name, and suddenly, you're fresh as a daisy.

In the pro wrestling world, it's more than possible to "soften someone up" for a submission move through brawling. You could do this to aan extent in the "real world," too, but it's a little more difficult, especially since most people won't hold still while you try and target their joints. Still, while it weouldn't be my first move in a fight, in the world of WWEEEEEEEE, it's a perfectl valid strategy.

The problem is, whenever you add in a third man in a title fight, you immediately diminish the significance of the fight. Does it totally make sense? No. That doesn't make it less true, however, because not everything in wrestling applies to strict ration. A third man takes away the thunder from the winner.

Benoit need some real singles matches, and soon. Like last week or sooner. A Triple Thread Main event to wrestlemania was bullshit. Rehashing it wasn't horrible, but we already saw it, and nothing much changed.

He's a single's chhamp for Chrissake, and he should be given some high profile SINGLES matches for said title.

I'mn not saying that there should never be Triple Threats, Four ways, etc., just that it's gone a little too far here.
