He's a patsy. He totally got punked by Cena. Why not Kurt Angle or Bradshaw?? He still has an issue with Angle, and Bradshaw doesn't need to be protected. Cena is a guy who has lost to Lesnar, Taker, Guerrero, Angle - and he gets the best of Benoit?? Fuck that. They could have done it in other ways without hurting Benoit.
Angle is being protected because of his neck and you really wanted Bradshaw in the main event of Smackdown? Benoit is a midcarder. He's going to be jobbed out sometimes and be "punked" out and he's not going anywhere anytime soon as reported by the Torch.
