Chris Benoit to drop the world title back to Triple H in a couple of months
 

- The current plan is to have Chris Benoit as a ‘short term’ champion, where it’s expected he’ll lose his World title belt to Triple H within the next couple of months.

All I have to say is WHY, WHY, WHY OH WHY!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't take dirt sheets too seriously.

Yes! Triple H = Ratings!!!

Oh wait, or is that preparation H? I forget...

I'll believe it when I see it

I really think if the WWE want to emphasise a new style of wrestling, they have the 2 best people to do it as the champions.

I'm sorry, I just can't take this as a joke after two years of torture from Triple H refusing to put talent over. Do I even ahve to go over the list?

No! Bad CoE.

*hits you with rolled up newspaper*

You do not boo Chris Benoit around me. :mad:

Calm down. Enjoy Benoit's reign. And know this: "The industry is in a slump" can only be used as an excuse for the low ratings for so long. If fans reward the WWE for putting Benoit and Eddie at the top of the company with more viewers and more buyrates, Vince won't ignore it. He may be many things, but he's not stupid. Strictly from a business standpoint, Triple H isn't going to run the show forever.

It going to suck if the belt goes back to HHH.

Ya I don't expect for Chris Benoit to hold the belt for that long. Maybe a month or 2 tops. But I hope he doesn't drop the belt to Triple H. He should lose to a good heel like Kane

It sucks ass, but as long as they don't Jerichofy his reign, then it's too bad.

I believe I've been saying this for a long time.

What everyone has to realize is that Hunter will ALWAYS be on top of whatever brand he is on. So anyone who gets the title on Hunter's show is just getting it as a loan. This reign for Benoit is no different than HBK in 02 and Goldberg in 03. Its not clear how long this reign will be because of Hunter's movie stuff, but whenever he wants it back, Benoit will be dropping the title to Hunter.

Eddie is in a different situation in that the WWE has a real belief in him, and also because he doesn't have HHH breathing down his neck wanting the title back. Eddie could keep his title for the better part of the year, but Benoit will be lucky if he's still champ by Summer.

wooooooooooooooooooooooo! :D

Damn. Not that I wasn't expecting it. But...yeah. meh.

*does his best Nelson*

Haw-Haw!

I will shank you in the neck. :mad:

I can believe that this will happen and it probably will. I think the WWE needs a different champ and should go a different path. Even though Triple H is one of my top 2 favorite wrestlers I think that he should go a different path right now and do something else instead of going for the heavyweight title.

He better have at least three months. If they're smart, they'll make him a fighting champ as well. That way, even if his reign is relatively short, it'll be impressive because he defends the belt so often and doesn't back down from anyone.

I think Benoit and Guerrero are going to be given short title reigns just to establish them as Main Eventers, as replacements to Goldberg and Brock.

Anyone surprised at this rumour?

if its on the internet its got to be true!
this is the same internet that said Triple H was retain the title at Wrestlemania and Benoit was going to win it at backlash

I wouldn't trust this rumor to be true. I've rarely seen a rumor about a title change to be true, and the only times they do come true are when there's an injury or a wrestler quitting or if it's just a lucky guess. The WWE might not have written the next couple PPV's in stone yet. More likely than not, it started as some dumb kid trolling it up and somebody took it seriously.

*Pimp Slap* 1...2...3!!! New Champion

I never seen anywhere say Triple H was gonna retain the Title :shifty:

Man, if he has too lose I hope it's some kind of screwjob. I.E he loses in a 4 way match against all of Evolution.

Heh, I think this is total BS. Not as in "OMG I hate this, this is BS," but if it were true, I'd think that. Anyway, I doubt it, I really do. Benoit may not have the longest reign, but I don't think he'll be dropping the title to Triple H. Everyone is so focused on Triple H always whoring the belt, that they seem to forget that Chris Benoit went over the champ clean, in a Triple Threat, for the title, at WM20, by SUBMISSION, like eight days ago.

You don't need super-intelligence to know HHH is going to win the title within a few months, i mean everyone else is practically buried now cos of hhh, what other main eventers are there?Orton maybe, but hes obviously gonna be in the future, right now i don't think hes ready for the main event but im clueless as to who else could take HHH's+benoits spot, unless they give hbk another reign...f*ck the wwe storyline writers for creating this whole mess though.

Meh, you people have no faith. At all.

<font color=#33ffff>It doesnt bother me so much that Benoit is just gonna be a short term champion, it's the fact he'll drop it to HHH.
This would suck.
Eddie and Chris should both have near year long reigns.</font>

Thats because hhh has destroyed all our faith we ever had, weve seen it so many times now we can't be bothered to hope anymore..i can't anyway.

I know that, but everytime it looks like Benot's going somewhere, he always ends up feuding with A-Train. :'(

I'm going to crap my pants if he and A-Train end up on the same show tonight.

Indeed.

Gee, I wonder why?

Don't worry. I'm sure Benoit jobbing the title to Michaels in Edmonton will show you a fine example of what faith can really do.

Just kidding, I really don't see that happening or hope not, but I couldn't resist the urge to crack on Michaels.

Anyhow... I agree with PH. But you know what would be really lame, is if Benoit's title got vacated tonight. I know it won't happen, (knock on wood), but that would explain Benoit still being over Triple H and not being champ. Sick thoughts.

Yeah, it's dark thoughts like these that force me to have faith. I believe in Benoit. He is the next Bret Hart.

I have faith.

i'm just happy he got the damned belt in the first place.

I keep telling CoE that he is wrong, and he just can't learn.

COE does not have an apprecaiton for the Canadian style of wrestling. IE. adapting yourself to EVERY single style there is.
