Benoit was horrible on the mic. The Shield 2.0 sucks. Orton sucks.
However, they're still all better than Nakamura at everything.

I disagree with your first statement. As it's a common misconception. He just wasn't glitzy or reliant on catchphrase. Imo he was better than most of the current roster on WWE tv.
He might be, but that's an extremely low bar.
It's not a misconception. It doesn't make him decent on the mic, because you're comparing him to the lowest of the low. I believe you said he was better that The Big Show. False. Big Show is actually one of the more natural talkers on the roster. He doesn't say anything profound, and isn't all that special or anything, but his delivery doesn't make me cringe like Benoit did more often than not.
I think Neville when he comes back should fit lthe Benoit role of smaller guy that is relentless and beats the shit out of guys and doesn't stop.
DRH made the new thread?

I think it's pretty inaccurate to say he wasn't decent...decent doesn't mean good it means ok. He was ok...he had a few good ones mixed in when the intensity could shine through...but mostly it was just passable and non offensive. Cringe worthy brings to mind the horrible CW scripting of today's promos.
Nah, he's still pretty cringe inducing. He'd fit right in today, with his stilted awkward promos. I'd agree that he at least had a certain intensity that helped sell it a little better than the guys of today, but he still sounded awkward as hell, and not very comfortable.
He wasn't "decent" as far as I'm concerned. He was pretty fuckin' horrible on the mic. He wasn't Jeff Hardy cringe, but he wasn't too far ahead of him either. Very low tier promo guy.
