Benoit vs. Lesnar would have been gold from a wrestling stand point.

And yes - Benoit making Lesnar tap (cleanly and one on one) would have gone over big time.

On the RAW side of things, you have Eddie Guerrero somehow get out of his SmackDown! contract and start getting in the mind of Triple H on RAW. Anyway, we then see Triple H, Ric Flair, Randy Orton & Batista vs. Eddie Guerrero, Goldberg, The Rock &

Looking back in hindsight, it would have been MUCH better for either Guerrero or Cena to defect to RAW instead of Benoit.

The problem with Benoit when he defected to RAW (and faced HHH/HBK at mania) was that he wasn't OVER enough as a CREDIBLE main-eventer.


Guys like John Cena and Eddie Guerrero however, WERE.

Call me an eternal optimist, but if Cena or Guerrero had defeated HHH/HBK in the same manner that Benoit did, then I'd be willing to bet that EITHER of those guys would've garnered MUCH more TV time than Benoit did.
