When it's all said and done...

Everyone's doing that, but when people look back that's how they will remember him. They'll remember the achievements and they'll remember highlights of his matches. It's the strong-point of nostalgia.

Angle isn't near Benoits level.  Benoit has worked great matches in 4 different companies and has managed to produce a MOTYC in almost every year in a span of a decade.

Five, if you count Stampede. Angle isn't anywhere close to Benoit in those terms.

 

I don't really agree with the Rude comparison, either...remember, Rude was a HORRIBLE worker back in the day. Angle seemed to pick it up from day one.

 

EDIT: A really good non-wrestling analogy would be Fernando Valenzuela...someone who just hit the scene with a bang, then flamed out in a short period of time.
