this is a long post.
Personally i think Benoit's body type is too different for him to do the "Bret" version. He has short arms and legs. Also with his short legs it seems like he's crouching/leaning foward a little bit. You can see what i mean better how almost everytime he does the move now there is a run-in with a guy jumping up on the apron in front of him. He lets go/jumps forward, knocks the guy off, and continues with the match.
