I'm not even going to go into the 'HHH hogs the limelight' issue, but tackle another one on the list.
One of my beefs with RAW is that there aren't people vocally wanting a title shot, or challenging for it.
HHH, HBK - no surprise there, but then they are competing against each other.
However, you don't see anyone on RAW doing things to get a title shot.
Benoit is THE CHAMP!
He should have to defend the title every week on RAW, because there should be a queue of people wanting to challenge him for it!
But apparently there are no hungry, ambitious, wrestlers on RAW?
If you think about it, these people that do favours for Bischoff should be doing it in return for a title shot. Otherwise why are they there?
Regardless of face or heel, everyone should be bugging Bischoff for a shot at the belt, at every opportunity.
That would get over to the fans that ALL the wrestlers want what Benoit has.
That would in turn make people appreciate how good Benoit must be to hold on to it.
That in turn would also elevate the title way higher than it is, and by definition, it would also elevate the wrestler who holds the IC title.
Just some thoughts from an under-rated poster.....
