Changes

Because of his curly afro and rugged facial hair, Benoit bears and uncanny resemblance to a grizzly. Also, to David Hasselhoff. Some of Benoit's friends have started referring to him as "The Hoff". The expression "don't hassle The Hoff" was invented when Benoit became moderator of the forums in addition to North America proof mod, which meant he could kick your ass both on and off the charts, so you had better not mess with him.

Through some phonetic mangling, the German forum members recognised The Hof (meaning "das main court" in their language) and, because he wielded clout everywhere, starting calling him "The Main Law", or just "The Main" for short. The non-Germans were confused by these expressions and thought that the Germans intended to say "The Mane", a more obvious reference to his leonine orange 'fro. Over time, they managed to manipulate "The Main" into "The Main Mane", then "The Mane Man", and finally abbreviated to "The Man". In present day, if you ask any karter "Who is The Man?!" you will likely receive a response "Benoit is The Man!". But all of it originally started with hair. True story.

In his spare time, Benoit likes to do nerd-stuff like engineering while balancing his lifestyle with jock-stuff like sky-diving.
