To you Brett, and to Buse...go check out this week's Wrestlecrap entry 
on the WWF vs WCW "Invasion" angle. There's a lot in there that explains 
EXACTLY why I don't think Vince McMahon or his writers would have Benoit 
start at 1 and win the Rumble outright.

It gives a good perspective on how Vince treats homegrown talent vs 
outside guys....and Benoit IS an outside guy brought in, hardly a talent 
created by the WWE.
