Benoit- like Benoit's gimmick, like the fact that he's the Champion, but he's in need of changing his position on the card. THE WORLD CHAMPION IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE FOCUS OF THE SHOW. He shouldn't be the Tag Team Champ, because A)It's an excuse to put him in lower card matches where he defends the Tag straps instead of being in the main events, B)If he's constantly the "face-in-peril" when pitted against Randy Orton and Batista, who the hell is going to buy him standing a chance against Triple H? And C)Him still having the Tag Belt going into SummerSlam will just be a cheap way to kick him out of the World Title scene but still "give him his credit" as a champion.
Oh, and his latest World Title feud is almost as slapped together as the SD tag division. We're three weeks away from Benoit/Kane, and the two guys haven't even had so much as a staredown or promo together. Meanwhile, Hunter and Michaels' never ending feud takes up half of the show. Let me say that again. Two guys who people are sick to death of seeing fight for the forty billionth time are getting another PPV main event, while the two guys fighting to become the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT F>UCKING CHAMPION are getting shunted into a nothing feud with no buildup whatsoever.
I know it's not the "Gimmick Makeover" sort of thing this thread was asking for, but I wanted something poignant and fun to write for my 2999th post.
