Look at Jimmy Snuka, he couldn't cut a promo either but at least he was smart, he had Vincent Kennedy McMahon as his advocate. The next thing you know Jimmy Snuka was off scott free, making the next town, eating sushi and dominating rails of cocaine with the boys. This guy Benoit couldn't talk his way out of a parking ticket let alone a single murder. So the Atlanta PD (mark city) were like fuck it, open and shut case. Had he been able to cut one fucking promo then maybe a smark detective would've dug further. There would've been other players, a Kevin Sullivan angle, were the dogs themselves a tease for a Rick Steiner stable?, etc. Alas, he was ass on the mic and received a marks' police report: double murder-suicide.
