The one I think of first is Brian Pillman. That Hummer accident came at the worst possible time. (Not that there's a good time for that to happen.)


Also, RVD. I would have loved to have seen him given a WWE title reign while he was in his prime.

RVD is a tough one to call. Mainly because I don't think it was a physical peak so much as it was he was required to water it down, and he had simply lost his passion for it...but an interesting thought none the less...

Nikolai Volkoff & Iron Sheik certainly both had their career peaks past their prime...

I'm going with Batista here, I remember seeing him in his triple threat for the IC title at Summerslam a few years back and thinking that it was his peak.

Yeah, this is true. I just wish he would have had the belt pre-knee injury at least. I often wonder, for example, if we don't see the Van Terminator anymore because he just isn't capable of hitting it consistently.

Well, he's probably going to TNA, and we know they're a spotmonkey fest. So I'm sure they'll be begging RVD to do a Van Terminator every goddamn match, so we'll see how consistently he can hit it. It should be noted tho that its probably much easier to hit in that 6 sided peice of trash.

I may have worded that wrong but who would you put above him thats a name star in WWE nowadays? I know a lot of people have a serious hardon for HBK but hes to predictable for my liking.

Beside HBK, Benoit and HHH on his day I struggle to find anyone that fully sticks out and grabs my attention week in and out with stellar psycology, impact and storytelling in the ring.

But dont take that as a commentary on his mic skills, the only time Benoit should touch a mic is to say "Ok" after someone challenges him.

Yeah, but honestly...I never get sick of seeing him hit that move, so if he does it 3 times an Impact! I'll still be happy. A diagonal Van Terminator accross that ring would be pretty badass actually.

I think Benoit is incredibly predictable in ring. Plus the diving head butt takes a lot away from him in the story telling aspect. Because he is basically a ground and pound grappler, and a diving headbutt does not make sence with the rest of him move set or really for a game plan sort of view.

Also, there a ton of solid worker in WWE. The reason (at least what I think is the reason) that Benoit gets picked out of everyone because that is his gimmick and really doesn't have any other reason to be popular.

He idolizes and models his style after The Dynamite Kid so that's why he has that flying-headbutt. I think maybe he could really be good on the mic and none of us would know. Maybe...

I don't know your friend, but Benoit sucks even more for using some one else's style instead of coming up with his own.
