I'm not sure I'd say Benoit is better than Jericho. Sort of like comparing apples to oranges. Benoit is a technical wrestler, he has rings skills in spades, but rarely does anything flashy, and his mic skills have been pretty bad on the whole, although they had improved a lot at the time of his injury. Jericho oozes charisma, has great mic skills and pretty good ring skills, although he seems to have slipped in that department a little lately. But I'm glad to see he won the titles. I heard HHH wasn't that fond of him, and with his pull back stage I figured Jericho would keep getting looked over.
