A lot of people aren't giving Kevin Nash the amount of credit he does indeed deserve. Nash has defeated technical wrestlers far greater than Chris Benoit; such as Bret Hart. Nash has all the power available to easily finish Benoit off with only the simpliest of moves.
This is a match-up, that with both in their prime I'd have loved to see. I'm a big Nash fan, and an even bigger Benoit fan. I just want people to give Nash his just due for credit and respect. Just because he's tall, doesn't mean he's incapable of having a great match with a technical wrestler.

Benoit does indeed have the shear ability to lock in the Crossface from almost any position, including finding a way to slide out of the Powerbomb in mid-air, or reverse the flip and somehow come down with a crossface variation.
The problem that Benoit will encounter here, is using too much aggression, and trying to give everything all at once, early and often.. it'll wear him down, and Nash can absorb the punishment, and come back with second winds that'll tear Benoit apart.
At this time, I'm torn on who to vote for. As I said, I'm a big fan of both, and haven't truly seen one argument over another to lean in either man's favor. People claiming Nash would lose because he's tall and awkward are wrong. People claiming Benoit would lose because he couldn't lock in the Crossface, are wrong. And even if that were the case, Benoit can lock in a Sharpshooter just as easy.
Again, I'm torn on who could win in the end at this time. I'm leaning toward Benoit, just for the future possible match-ups, though.
