Batista's mic skills aren't actually that bad when he's too the point. His promo at Survivor Series in 2004 was actually what started to get him over. Bobby Lashley is a fantastic example, however. It should be noted that he didn't have Michael Hayes' favour either, though.
It wouldn't surprise me if we saw Chris Benoit move from SmackDown! to either RAW or ECW. You'd think the latter would be more convenient, and with a lot of young guys that could use grooming, and Benoit's past, it could work. Benoit could replace The Sandman (who you know they are just itching to release) as a good ECW Original. Hell, if they didn't fire 2 Cold Scorpio, they could have gotten rid of Tommy Dreamer or Sabu, as well. But anyway, I think it's all moot. If Benoit changes brands, I expect for him to show up on RAW. It was rumoured to be happening prior to WrestleMania, and that's apparently part of the reason it was decided to keep the US Title on Benoit past the event. With his new problems with Hayes, they could pull the trigger on it, and move Benoit over to RAW. Matches with Randy Orton, Carlito and Umaga cold be somewhat fun. |

Cena is a fantastic talker. Shits on Benoit on the mic.

True, but Benoit's in-ring skills are better than Cena's mic skills imo.

I agree. Benoit never captured my interest as the Champ.

I read The Stone Cold Truth for the first time recently and Austin talks about how things should go back to the old days where nothing was scripted and wrestlers had to come up with their own stuff to say. It made it more real that way and made the shows more entertaining in my view as well. |

Sorry, Austin, not everyone is as great as you are at making shit up as they go. That's not being snide, that's just truth. Some guys have to be more scripted than others. |

I really don't see why ppl lambast benoit's mic skills. I mean, they really aren't that bad.
As a heel, Benoit just has to rub his hands together and talk about breaking someones neck, and he's over. Even as a face, his mic skills r ok |

Benoit is underrated in the mic skills department. His stuff with Orlando Jordan was hilarious. And all he needs to do is to say "I'm going to make you squeal like the bitch you are," and it's done. Nothing flashy, but it doesn't need to be. And Daivari would make a damn fine manager for Benoit. Just have him approach Benoit and talk about how he wants to market Chris to an international audience, so he begins talking about how Chris Benoit is the best wrestler in the world in Farsi. |

Looking over that Muhammad Hassan promo, he actually did come off as a heel. Everyone used to talk about him being face material, but I think he makes a perfect heel. The best heels (at least to me), and the ones who have a damn good point, but you still want to say "but" to. Hassan was demanding things, being aggressive, etc. That behaviour leans more towards the heel side.
That was truly an awesome character. I still wished they had made Daivari more of a bad-ass during their run, though. I remember Jerry Lawler vs. Muhammad Hassan, where Lawler chased Daivari. That was shit. When Lawler got in Daivari's face, Khosrow should have slapped the bitch down. |

I guess Benoit doesn't have those mic skills that are most important. Like walking to the ring in slow motion or being able to roll his eyes back into his head.

If mic skills determine main eventness, why is Khali feuding with Cena?
