I remember someone at school who ordered the PPV telling me Benoit was now the WCW Champ... and I don't think going into the PPV he was even booked for the title match so I was surprised. I was very excited to see Nitro that night and what could happen with a Benoit title run. I think when I got home and turned on my AT&T dial up I found that Benoit had left WCW and signed with WWE. I was more shocked about that than the title win.

Had they booked Benoit to be the champ 4 months before.... I dunno man, I'm very optimistic but if they had committed to that choice I could see things being different potentially.
