In response to "Benoit's career is much like Kane's imo. Neither was ever *the guy* for an organization that was healthy, however both had moments at the top but " by Will Hunting

- I -like- Brett Hart and I still fast forwarded through his interviews. - David Jan 14, 10:52 18
  - for sure. Brett is in my all time top 5 favorites. - groiny Jan 14, 10:53 11
    - Benoit had that as well, and that's the point. Benoit was the guy in ECW who proved himself the most, and that's the highest compliment I can give. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:55 10
      - I know very little about ECW, I did not watch it then. - groiny Jan 14, 10:59 9
        
        If you get WWE Channel, you should spend the first month watching ECW. - David Jan 14, 11:01 8
        
        show me a guy who sells a lot of merchandise, and I will show you a top tier wrestler. - groiny Jan 14, 11:04 3
        
        Cena has sold a country ton of stuff. He's still a goofy white guy that most people over 15 despise. - David Jan 14, 11:07 2
        
        he is....but I've seen Cena when he was OVW. he can go...he can do other stuff, he just doesn't need to and hasn't for 10 years... - Remlik Jan 14, 11:12 1
        
        He pulls out a new move for many pay-per-views. I'll never understand the hate for Cena. He is a decent wrestler with uncanny strength who has put - pmb Jan 14, 11:53
        
        Becuase pro wrestling isn't about who's best..it's about who makes the most revenue for the company. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 11:03 3
        
        That's like saying Grey's Anatomy is better than Justified because it gets higher ratings. - David Jan 14, 11:06 2
        
        Wrestling isn't a high enough art form for people to care much beyond "Who made the most money." - Will Hunting Jan 14, 11:26 1
        
        I think that the people on this board are the first ones I have ever seen evaluate wrestling based upon "Who made the most money." - David Jan 14, 11:29
  - the big thing I always liked about Bret is that he says the best thing of his career is never hurting anyone in the ring -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:53 5
    - I completely agree and that's why it espeically sucks that Goldberg may have caused his stroke. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:55 3
      - at least he did not get dropped from the ceiling. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 11:05 2
        
        Have you seen the War Games where Sid almost kills a guy that way? -- nm - David Jan 14, 11:09 1
        
        Ooh, it's on YouTube. -- (link) - David Jan 14, 11:11 [youtube]
    - other than punching out Vince (but that was backstage) -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:54
Hart was one of the most recognizable athletes in the World at one point. No comparison -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:46 7
- He had a bland personality and tremendous ring skill. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:51 5
  - but he had a gimmick, with the razor shades, and the pink and leather ring garb. - groiny Jan 14, 10:52
  - ahh, I see that comparison certainly (but he was miles better on the mic than Benoit). -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:52 3
    - Bret Hart improved with time on the mic - eag Jan 14, 10:58 1
      - Benoit would have been fine on the mic in 1979. - groiny Jan 14, 11:00
    - it took everything Benoit had not to drool all over himself when on the mic. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:54
- throw in his tag team time with The Anvil and he is a no-doubt HOFer -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:48
