Could have sworn he headlined a mess of PPVs in 2004. Rumble? Yup. Mania? Yup. Summerslam? Yup. I know he had a rematch with HHH and HBK and at least one other PPV against H. I'm sure you're right though, those were likely curtain jerkers.

Can't accept that he was given every opportunity but wasn't good enough to hang, eh?

lol I do not have that much of a horse in the race big fella. As soon as he was done with H and Michaels, he was taking on Kane and beating him with a roll up. He was not presented as a central focus of the show unless it was as the guy in the middle of the Shawn Michaels, HHH feud. They gave him his moment in the sun at Wrestlemania and a little hangover at Backlash, but he was used as a transitional champion, not as a guy who could bring in ratings.

In saying that, Benoit would not have been the saviour of the company, and I'm not against them not giving him an uber long run, but 3 or 4 months of actual compelling storylines with him as the champ and the focal before losing it would have only helped the company's product. Instead, he was a mid card champion after he no longer served his purpose in the HHH/Michaels feud.


Okay, now I get to see where this trails off into. I love this thread.

He won the Rumble. He lost the belt at Summerslam. Thats 8 months of being the focal point. If memory serves me the fight with Kane was on the show with HHH-HBK in a Cell, Benoit headlined with HHH at the next PPV and WON. He then headlined with Orton and lost. So if 8 months is a transitional run on top, well there have been TONS of transitional headliners in WWE history.

Dont worry, I used to think just like you before I stopped drinking the kool aid.
