Let Mark Rosendorf holler at you, players:

}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.
}
}Here's the URL - http://www.wrestlecrap.com/invasion.html

Vince is, by all accounts, a vindictive man who likes nothing better than 
seeing his enemies ground into the dirt and hearing the lamentations of 
their women (or something like that).

However, he's also a businessman, and *somebody* needs to win the Rumble.  
Take Benoit out, and you're left with Goldberg as the next most likely 
candidate- a character created entirely by WCW.

Further down the probability list, you get the home-grown Angle, Orton, and 
Cena, none of whom seem likely to show up at a WMXX main event.

Still, there's only a few more hours until the matter is put to rest.
