    Because Chris Benoit isn't a gimmick or character. It's the man himself. The man whom you see on TV is the real man with his real personality.

    The classic wrestlers are now becoming.. should I say, 'extinct'. Lol. I don't even know some of them anymore. New guy here and there.

    Actually, with the question. I don't know. WWE didn't recognize, paid tributes, or chose not to talk about Benoit's death mainly because it was murder-suicide, unlike Eddie Guerrero who died of a heart disease. So, maybe they chose not to pattern a new character after him? That's just a guess.

    Well to me, all these wrestlers are kind of different from one another. So... there.

    Hope that helped.

    If it's worth your time knowing, I'm a girl. I dunno if my opinion helped. So you can freely ask boys' opinions if you're having doubts.

    Have you heard of the phrase "Often imitated but never duplicated"

    I think they have tried to recreate this style of wrestler but never had the same success. Based on your description I'd say Daniel Bryan has come close in style & character to Beniot but not in personality.
