ONE ON ONE

The World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit...
He certainly deserves the title, there is no disputing that fact but his title reign is falling flat. All of his matches have been great and he's kept pace with his promo's but something is missing. Perhaps a great ONE ON ONE match on a PAY PER VIEW?!

So far Chris Benoit is unproven in a ONE ON ONE situation on a PAY PER VIEW and lets face it. Great Champions have made thier mark and presence felt by winning and competing in great ONE ON ONE matches.

Look at Guerrero...
ONE ON ONE versus Brock Lesnar in the main event at No Way Out.
ONE ON ONE versus Kurt Angle in a high profile match at Wrestle Mania
ONE ON ONE versus John Bradshaw Layfield in the main event at Judgment Day.

Guerrero is absolutely great and looks like a legit main eventer. Why?
Because he's faced the best... and the worst (JBL) in great ONE ON ONE matches that have made him look like a modern day hybrid of Hart and Michaels, added with some latino heat!

Wrestle Mania XX...World Heavyweight Championship...Triple H...versus...Chris Benoit

Backlash...World Heavyweight Championship...Chris Benoit...versus...Shawn Michaels

This simple formula would have brought Chris Benoit up to Eddie Guerrero's level.

Triple H. This is a guy who claims to know everything about the business and is supposed to represent traditional wrestling. There is nothing traditional about Triple Threats. How is Benoit going to get OVER with the crowd when its a heel versus babyface versus babyface. What ever happened to the traditional HEEL versus FACE?

I don't claim to know more than Triple H, as I am just stating my opinion from my 10 years of watching and paying for wrestlers pay checks. And in my opinion as a fan, what I look for in a great and legit champion is his ability to carry the ONE ON ONE main event matches on PPV's.

Guerrero has been given ONE ON ONE matches and he's come out looking like the MAN.

Benoit has not been given ONE ON ONE matches (on PPV) and he's still relatively unproven as a worthy champion. He still looks good but he could have looked much better.

ONE ON ONE main event PPV matches = GREAT CHAMPIONS

Your thoughts on my long ramblings? Am I right? Am I wrong? BRING IT!
