Whether you like the direction the industry has taken you can't deny that it heavily emphasized workrate, and benoit played a large part in the business moving in that direction.
It's a shame that he did what he did, because he would have been remembered as a guy like Dynamite Kid and Tiger Mask. An actual paradigm shift wrestler.
