TL;DR:

* I think Benoit was a better upper mid-card wrestler/occasional main eventer over the course of a significant career than Batista was as a main event guy over a shorter and less...remarkable career?

Batista may have had better spikes, but Benoit was dependable even during high-wire situations, despite what people think about him being "vanilla." And I don't think Rock vs. Batista necessarily draws more than Rock vs. Benoit. But I do think that Batista vs. Jerry Buttfuck is going to draw more than Benoit vs. Jerry Buttfuck. Does that make sense? Batista is inherently a bigger star, but Benoit can work with guys who draw money as well as Batista can, when he stops mattering to a certain point.
