Every single angle that has not had its potential capitalised on ever.

Doubt he would have. He's too sketchy in the ring, and not strong enough on the mic. It's all hypothetical, but I think Orton would have gotten maybe two runs with the IC Title, and would only start to be getting ahead now.

Originally Posted by BigDaddyCool Looking back it in retrospect, and knowing the out come before hand, like you are doing now as opposed to watching the angle unfold as the rest of us did is vastly different. "I did it for the Rock" killed the heat. Which is evident in the lack of reaction from the live audience. And we all think the promo could have used a boost, Mr Johnny Comelately.

Of course it is fucking different. I'm just saying from a retrospective standpoint, the promo wasn't any more horrible than one of Randy Orton's monotonous ones, or the creative faux pas the WWE is constantly known for.

Originally Posted by BigDaddyCool Again, no one liked the Bastard Son angle, and "I did it for the Rock" was slightly better than the Bastard Son angle. Though, that is like saying getting punched really hard in the chest is better than getting kicked really hard in the balls.

I didn't say people did like the bastard son angle. I'm just saying, I find this more interesting (perhaps because of the era) than most of the angles the WWE runs today.

Chris Jericho was like one of the biggest faces the WWE had in 2000. I remember that much. I'll grant you that he was a joker, but exposing him as Austin's hit-and-run driver would have completely turned that on its head.

Chris Benoit had Shane McMahon backing him for a lot of 2000, during a stint where I believe the WWE was teasing Chris Benoit in the main event (he was working with Triple H and The Rock a lot). Why would it have not made sense? Why couldn't the McMahon-Helmsley faction (which was not officially formed at this time, granted, but would have been coming together behind the scenes) not given Benoit a call, and said they'd bring him in if he ran down Austin? Why couldn't Benoit have known that he was going to leave WCW, so he decided to make a huge main event opening for himself?

I will accept that answer from other people, but because it is from you, I cannot trust it.
