Benoit always has been, and always will be my all time favourite wrestler.

Like people has already stated, he doesn't need to have mic skills to be over. He's a machine that does his talking in the ring. Like he use to say in WCW... "Silent but violent". He also shows an intensity not many others show.

Other than that, he also has great endurance and stamina and is truly inspirational. What about last Smackdown? Going through that match with Cena, and taking an FU, only to go on and have that half hour match with Lesnar which involved kicking out of an F5.

The reason Benoit's been stale so lately is because he's been working bad angles, and his desire to slowly fading. Now however, it looks as though he's set to be in a World Title angle with Lesnar. Now, we have two great workers, and a decent enough angle, this is what Benoit needs to get motivated again.

Let's see. Of the people I know who watch wrestling, about one of them (Myself) is an "internet fan." My friends have never been considered "smarts." Hell, they're my friends...How could they even be considered smart?

Two of my casual (By casual, I mean casual wrestling fans) friends have just started tuning in again regularly because they think the action's picking up again. They're both pumped for Benoit (Though one of them would have PREFERRED Cena).

One of my casual buddies seems to be Vince's ideal fan. The guy thinks that the bigger the guy is, the badder he is. I think he's compensating for being a midget. He's a monster Lesnar mark, but cheers for the likes of Show, Taker, Jones, Morgan....He loved the Radicalz, however. He DOES like Benoit, but not as much as "Latino Heeeeeeeat," Who's evidently one of his favorites (Ironic, considering what I just mentioned).

I know a guy who HATES Benoit, and anyone similar to him. Technical ability means shit to him, and he's pretty bored by Smackdown period. Not enough personality.

Annnnnnd one of my friends is cumming himself over Benoit having a title shot. Because he's pretty casual about wrestling, I think he tuned out when Lesnar took over. I'm not sure if it's because he loves Chris, or because he HATES Brock. I think there's a good chance that He'd cheer Cena, Benoit, or Michael Cole if it got Lesnar away from the title. Or he could be a Benoit mark. I dunno.

See, if I went on what my friends thought, I'd have to think that Benoit was mad popular. Granted, maybe BDC has a bigger sampling group (I have, tops, 8 wrestling fans I know well...Most of my friends are "above" rassling in one way or another...). Going off what I've seen on the internet, I'd also have to believe that the common mark isn't into what Vince wants. I mean, when even RPG forums and the like complain about the wastes of space that are people like Show, something's wrong. Granted, I never polled an RPG forum (Or any other forum) to see if they like Benoit specifically, so maybe that's out too.

This is why it's so hard to trust statistics. Conduct ten different polls, depending on the places you go, and you'll get anywhere up to 10 different results.

Yeah, much bigger, I personally know like 20 some odd people that are into wrestling. And then another 30 some odd on like msn buddy lists that aren't like internet fans.

Still, that isn't a good size to truely get a taste for the causal fan.

When has John Cena ever had a standing ovation for his matches? The fans were BEGGING to see Benoit as champion in his last days in WCW so there obviously has to be some support for him.

And for the record, every one of my friends who like wrestling are marks and they can't get enough of Chris Benoit's matches.

For those who say that no-nonsense, uncharismatic characters like Benoit's can't get across to the fans, may I remind you of another no-nonsense, uncharismatic, intense character that drew huge: Goldberg. And that's naming a poor worker. Benoit looks pretty damn over with the crowds and has looked as such even during his days in WCW. You can look back on Fully Loaded 2000 when Benoit headlined with The Rock and see that it drew one of the biggest buyrates of that year.
