Chris Benoit: Mid Card or Main Event?

Currently Chris Benoit is stuck in the WWE mid card as the US Champion.  He has not had anything to do for weeks though.  Alot of people think that the WWE is misusing Benoit and that he should be in the main event or maybe even World Champion.  What do you guys think?  Benoit is a great technical wrestler, arguably the best on the roster, should he be in the main event?  He is also not so great on the mic, a trait which is important for a World Champion, therefore should he be in the mid-card?  What are your thoughts on this?

Also, when Benoit's contract expires what should he do?  Should he jump to TNA with the success that Angle, Christian and other former WWE wrestlers have had?  Or should he stay with the WWE?

Main event, no doubt. But the thing is, like Jericho, Benoit never had a problem of propelling young talent and allowing them to beat him. He is such an incredible talent and he is underused. But, in his 40s it would not be a sensible decision to give him all the World title reign he missed out on because then you would get the Hogan effect. Its not good for a company if your World Champion is old and your younger, talented wrestlers are made to fall for a three count at the sight of him.

I guess he realised that he knows he was and currently is one of the very best in the pro-wrestling circuit. But, its time that Benoit let the new generation to shine and I think having him at Mid Card lets those trying to get big wins over legendary opponents do just that.

Benoit will always be a main eventer,but with the WWE stuck on Batista right now and with The Undertaker getting a shot at 'Mania,I can only see US title feuds in his future.But maybe before or during summer he'll lose the US title and go for the Heavyweight title or he will be sent to RAW,even tho he's done his best on Smackdown!,and go for the WWE Champion,whoever the hell that will be at the time.

The WWE does really need to stop it with Batista and Cena always being champions,if Batista wasn't injured he probably would have defended the title last year at 'Mania,possibly against Mysterio,or maybe a fatal 4-way,but anyways,they need to have more contenders for their top titles and give it to someone else,Cena and Batista almost held their respective titles for a year,Batista got injured and then Cena lost his title at NYR,but won it back 2 weeks later.

Benoit is amongst a group of wrestlers that deserve more title shots and championship reigns,the WWE just has to realize its more about the wrestling and skills more than the size and looks taht would sell.

Why those four? I'm not judging you, I'm just asking for the reasons.. Is it because they are young or that you just happen to think they are talented?

If, or when The Undertaker beats Batista at WM I think Benoit could have some alright matches with him. He did with Angle, he could certainly have some with Benoit.

I think he deserves to be in the title picture, and can easily put on some of the best matches out of the whole roster. 

I think his current situation is kind of pointless, he doesn't do much on SD! even being the US champ. Or hell, if you're gonna keep him there have him feud with Hardy.

If there's one thing that Benoit should not do, its go to TNA. They've already spent enough on WWE talent that may not be around or push others in a year. Benoit should stay in WWE, as much as I hate saying it. He'd kept his integrity, help get people over, and still put on some good to great matches. Though Danielson vs. Benoit is a dream of mine.bulletproofcow

Well here is a solution to that.

WWE SIGN BRYAN DANIELSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WWE would use him worse than they are using CM Punk.

Even if WWE did us it right at least 90 percent of the roster WWE takecouldn't keep up with him. I'd say he'd fare the best on SD, as they have Benoit and Finlay, and if we were lucky London and Danielson would have a match, but that's about it.

I never said anything about his style being entertaining to casual WWE fans. I could care less. I was refering to bullerproofcow's post by saying he would have his technical masterpeices would have the best chance of happening on SD.

But, back to your post, no, his style would not be that entertaining for people brainwashed into thinking Cena and Batista are the best wrestlers in the world.
