He can't draw. He has no charisma, and no promo skill. So therefore he should stay at the midcard spot

That's the problem with wrestling today, the promos outshine the wrestling 3-1, sometimes more... The Attitude era was based off storylines and promos, however, there was WRESTLING mixed in, at a much better rate...

It's sad when a great wrestler like Benoit gets pushed aside for someone who has better mic skills... Not saying that it's that bad, because usually, people who get pushed for their mic skills have the tallent to back it up, like Jericho, although, like my main post suggests, isnt as high as he should be...

Some people like the "entertainment" aspect of wrestling, and I can respect that, and I too love the entertainment aspect, but I also enjoy alot of good wrestling matches thrown in...

The only show that Benoit was put in a position to draw PPVs was Backlash, and that was the best brand exclusive show they've done all year. Every other show was headlined by HHH and did very little in terms of business.

Not saying Benoit is a huge draw on his own, but A) he was never given the chance and B) nobody is a draw right now.

I predicted this owuld happen, Benoit was brought over and given the title as a "thank-you" and to make Hunter look good. Hunter has moved on, so now Benoit will go the same route Jeircho went.
