Angle, Haas, and Benjamin... Please TNA

Benoit was actually treated like his wrestling ability made him a threat and a big deal. For the past few years, all Haas has been is a guy that loses matches. I hope TNA does pick up both Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin, who I think would suit TNA perfectly. Hopefully Benjamin completely shaves his head and loses the "gold" theme, though. Give them a "serious wrestlers" gimmick, and it writes itself. You could debut them by having them destroy Matt Morgan in a Handicap Match, since he's doing that "one man team" thing. Although that means you have to keep that going for another 90 days. Ew. Eventually I'd like to see them as a team, though. And eventually they can confront Kurt Angle, and be all "Hey Kurt, remember us?" and Kurt is all "gulp." Give Angle another great wrestler as a tag team partner, and there's a nice feud for ya.

I just KNEW you were going to respond with something like this. Don't get me wrong i understand why people like Haas to an extent but i wouldn't say he's ever properly entertained me. Benoit had abit more to him than just his wrestling ability btw, he had a history behind him/star power where as haas doesn't, so i don't think it would work as well for him.

Benoit had star power because his history was built up somewhere other than WWE. I could see his career there going the same route had it not been for WCW.

That's my point, Benoit had done things that made him stand out before, Haas hasn't.

Agreed. While I'm not extremely high on Haas, I am hoping a booker somewhere can figure out the right way to book him with the skill set he has. I don't think that booker is gonna be Russo, but that's another story entirely.
