5 Eugene
Must admit I hated him at first, but as it turned out, WWE is really handling this "special" gimmick very well. Plus if nother else it got Mr. Regal back in the spotlight, so that is certainly a plus. He is now one of the top drawing wrestlers in the world right now...so take that Brock Lesnar! We don't need you anymore (more on that later).
4 Ric Flair's Book
WWE had HUGE hype about this book. It seems as though every wrestler has at least something to say about it. Of course most noticably has been Bret Hart, and Hart and Flair continue to go back and forth on talk show...either way, be you a mark or a smart, this has been a big deal to everyone.
3 Chris Benoit winning the World Heavyweight Title....and keeping it
I threw in that last part because technically he has won that very title before in WCW against Sid, he just never got to keep it...nor did he get to keep it the two times he was announced WWF Champion only to have decissions reversed...hmmm... Anyway, big emotional moment, he made Triple H tap out to the Crossface, it was at WrestleMania XX, everything happened like a dream...
2 Bradshaw
I won't even limit it to the germany antics...but this is a huge deal. Here is a mildly talented micarder, now shoved down our throats and pushed to the moon as the biggest heel ass ever. He had every mark hating him, and after Germany he had every SMart hating him...truly X-Pac could take some lessons from him. If you think that at Janurary 1, 2004, Bradshaw was still just an APA guy, and not even the talented one of the two...and now he is WWE Champion...
1 Brock Lesnar leaves WWE...
Without a doubt pure shock for everyone who had seen his monsterious rise to the top...thought if you all recall it was a one Nick who said he didn't see Lesnar being a legend by the end...I knew he wouldn't last...but either way it is a HUGE deal to see WWE's #1 walk out in 2 years.
