DISCUSSION - Who should Chris Benoit face at Wrestlemania 20? (beware - RR spoilers)

**MVP** · 01-26-2004, 11:07 PM

Right now I don't think the match quality is as important as Benoit winning the title. Wrestlemania is the biggest opportunity any wrestler has to become one of the best. Chris Benoit is on a mad push to the top, and I think that not getting AT LEAST a title shot would destroy his push.

If Benoit's title shot is against Triple H, Benoit will obviously move to RAW and feud with Evolution. In my opinion I think Evolution will be made to look superior to Benoit during the advent ot Wrestlemania. In that case, Benoit will be made to look like the underdog against Triple H, which would also hurt his push. Benoit would have to win the World title to redeem himself or else his whole push, including winning the Royal Rumble, is a total waste.

Assuming that Kurt Angle somehow wins the WWE title before Wrestlemania, and Benoit chooses to face him at Wrestlemania then there is a better chance of Benoit's push not being misused. Angle and Benoit will most likely be made to look like equal competetors during the advent to Wrestlemania. One can assume that Angle vs. Benoit is a higher caliber match than Triple H vs. Benoit. If Benoit defeats Angle for the WWE title, he simply proves that he's a better wrestler than Angle. Whether or not that's a good thing is another issue.

MY choice: Chris Beniot vs. Kurt Angle would be the best World title match in Benoit's best interest.
