Fisher just could not land the power (though when he did, heavy damage was done), but Benson dodged that shit and got a lot of wrestling success happening.

Upset of the Grand Prix? - almost certainly. Fisher just could not land the power (though when he did, heavy damage was done), but Benson dodged that shit and got a lot of wrestling success happening. Benson could re-legit himself with some toughness upgrades for sure. He apparently has the offense. Fine-tune that, he could make another run apparently. Fisher is legit legit.
