What where they thinking....
Late 2003, Chris Benoit is on a fucking roll. He beats everyone. Let's move forward to January of 2004. Chris Benoit wins the Royal Rumble from a #1 draw. His crowd reaction was HUGE. Chris Benoit rolls into WrestleMania XX...and walks out with the World Heavyweight Championship. Millions of people around the globe watch it live on Pay-Per-View...Benoit having spent 20 years in the industry, WrestleMania being 20 years old...Benoit finally walks away with the World Title after 20 years of having high star classics. Most everyone I know had tears in their eyes by the end of the event. Benoit, with his years of back story and WWE properly booking him was arguably the most over person on the roster...2 weeks later he is defending the World Title against Rhyno, a man who hadn't even warrented a place on WrestleMania, and by the end of the month Benoit and his World Heavyweight Championship are certain jerking RAW against Rob Conway.

Why? They spent MONTHS beuilding up Chris Benoit, telling his story, having him kick ass in the ring, and within a month they are treating him like Gene Snitsky. It was like as soon as they had the moment at Mania, they were done with Benoit, don't they realise he had the chance to become more? So can someone tell me, what were they thinking?
