Yeah, looking stronger than Jericho isn't exactly an accomplishment. Seriously, if Benoit isn't looking stronger than a guy who hasn't had an important win in god knows how long (I actually can't rack my mind and remember the last time to be quite honest), we have problems.
The match didn't do anything for anyone, storyline wise. It was a good match for the sake of having a good match. As Rudo is pointing out, both guys will be in the same positioning as last week, and the match will hardly be mentioned, therefore it's a wash. Very even-steven booking, which is quite annoying.
