This man has put on 5-star matches over most of his career. He is arguably the best technical wrestler around today. I will agree with you that he isn't great on the mic, but you can compare him to someone like Bret Hart and see the legend that he left behind with great wrestling. This latest 'sports-entertainment' wrestling environment requires a combination of mic skills and wrestling ability in order to be on top. I still really enjoy watching Benoit's matches, especially at PPV's because that is where wrestling skill is the spotlight. I say that Benoit stays champ till Summerslam where HHH wins it, let Benoit have a short feud with HHH to get the belt back (or have a high profile feud with another main eventer), and if the fans aren't behind him, then let him go back to the midcard. Until that happens, however, keep him in the main event scene because the fans still cheer him with vigor.

Benoit only has good matches with a few people...and don't get me started on bret hart.

Get started on Bret Hart, I want to hear what you have to say.

And Benoit and Guerrero are the two best "wrestlers" in the WWE right now. They can carry almost everyone to a good match.

If by 'a few' you mean 'everyone, even guys like A-Train', then I agree entirely. Frankly, if you get no enjoyment out of guys like Chris Benoit and Bret Hart... well, I appreciate everyone has different tastes and opinions, but I really have to ask why the hell you even watch wrestling.

So, what your telling me, current WWE style aside, is you would rather see, say someone like Big Show, with great mic skills but shitty wrestling style/skills, in the main event, instead of a true wrestler like Chris Benoit?

I understand that some people like storytelling/storylines more than the actual wrestling, but I think that those people shouldnt even WATCH wrestling and go watch Days of our Lives, cause I'd rather see nothing but wrestling than 2 matches, 6 promos, and 16 segments... (I know I over exaggerated there)

His wrestling is all the same
JR: Germans! Crossface! Crossface! Submission!
How ever people like Angle, Rock, and Jericho make you want to watch their next match. Benoit matches are good for one thing. Giving me time to talk to people on TPWW.

This is what should happen at Vengence. Kane rushes in and makes Benoit lose.
