LEX, COME NO DOWN HERE, LET ME TOSS YOUR SALAD AND PEEL YOUR POTATOES~!!! [/Konnan]

It did always confuse me why Konnan would threaten to eat out other wrestlers' assholes.

On the other hand, if a large man threatened to do that to me I'd be very intimidated. So perhaps it was brilliant strategy.

One time Sting threatened to "goozle" Jeff Jarrett and I was very freaked out. I mean a guy who looks like Sting yelling about goozling me? I'd pee my pants. I don't know what "goozle" means but it sure does sound bad. Then someone explained it and it lost all its intimidation.

He didn't have Eddie's skill with comedic material, and didn't have the character range that Eddie did. He was pretty much limited to different varieties of intense: over-the-top intense, quietly intense, emotionally intense. But that was enough. That worked for him.

To me, it's not that Benoit was substandard on the mic and that pushes Eddie over. They were both incredible in the ring, they both were brilliant at portraying their (very different) characters.

Eddie just barely edges out Benoit in sheer awesome.

Thats why I feel Eddie was better on the mic. Benoit, as good he was at it, was only intense. However, he did show comedic potential during his skits during his feud with Orlando Jordan in which he did things that took as long as his matches with Jordan lasted, like making a cup of coffee.

Also, I exalted you for including that great article on Guerrero in your post.

Thank you.

Yeah, I didn't think it was clear if you and/or produce were saying that Eddie beat Benoit by a mile outside of the ring, or just edged him out, so I just wanted to clarify that I am not one of those who feel that Benoit was mediocre on the mic, before anybody else chimed in to agree with something I never said.

All I said was "vote Eddie, he was awesome," not "don't vote Benoit, he was over-rated."

I had to think about this one a lot. For me it comes down to the fact that when I watch wrestling I'm a lot more likely to think "I wish Eddie was still around" than I am "I wish Benoit was still around".

Benoit put on some amazing matches, but Eddie entertained me - if that distinction makes sense.

I was at WM20, and Benoit winning the belt is probably my #1 live wrestling moment. Thus, I voted for Benoit.

Otherwise, I probably would have voted for Eddie. He was one of the best, and his entire career entertained the hell out of me, as a whole moreso than Benoit. But he didn't have my #1 live wrestling moment.

I just have a hard time voting for either one of them. They're both tragedies, but at least Eddie didn't kill anyone, so he gets my vote. Plus, I just found him more entertaining.

I completely understand that. During that whole time period--the Lesnar feud, winning the Rumble, WM XX, and his World title run--he was my #1 favorite guy.

After that, other favorites slowly overtook him in my estimation. But I was in the exact same mindset then.
