Eddie/Benoit at WM XX

I know there would be no reason to do so because what happened at WrestleMania XX was pretty awesome (at the time, at least) but would both of those world title storylines worked just as well​ if Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit had switched places? If Eddie had won the Royal Rumble and gone on to face HHH and HBK in the Triple Threat, and Benoit had beat Brock for the WWE title and defended against Angle at WM? Benoit had the longtime-smark-favorite-finally-wins-the-gold storyline going in his favor, but Eddie could have been plugged right into that same storyline and his whole personal redemption might have even elevated the personalities in the Triple Threat. Maybe I’m still trying to find a way to fantasy book HBK vs. Eddie, but would anything have been lost if Benoit and Guerrero had been put in the opposite spot?

​No, I don’t think so. In fact I kind of thought that’s where they were going at the time, so it would make sense. And we know Benoit v. Angle and Benoit v. Brock are both friggin’ great matches, so I think it would have been totally fine had they gone that route. ​
