He would have been the WCW champion for a long time if he had stayed. It was a CM Punk situation. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:18 22
- I put Beniot and Luger is a very similar status. - groiny Jan 14, 10:22 3
  - I am with you on Luger. Zero mic skills. -- nm - Shaun Jan 14, 10:31
  - Benoit had that one thing that no guy has now and likely never will again... - Mel Profit Jan 14, 10:26 1
    - right, his ring abilities were top notch. I certainly do not dispute that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:28
- I am not so sure. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:20 16
  - There's no denying it. They made him champion to try to get him to stay. - David Jan 14, 10:23 15
    - Perry Saturn was the 4th -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:26 4
      - didn't the WWE do a huge Jericho puch shortly before that? - groiny Jan 14, 10:27 3
        
        Actually --- Jericho debuted in July/August 99....the Benoit 4 jumped in Jan/Feb 2000... - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:34 1
        
        well, Jericho was a better ring presence than Benoit, so there is that. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 14, 10:35
        
        yeah at least a year before that. -- nm - Remlik Jan 14, 10:30
    - and why did he walk out then? - groiny Jan 14, 10:24 9
      - Do you not remember this at all? He felt Bischoff had mistreated him for years. -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:26 8
        
        so, he was underused for years in the WCW..... - groiny Jan 14, 10:27 4
        
        How many guys are immediately given a heel faction and a title run when they join a new company? - David Jan 14, 10:30 3
        
        and keep in mind, I was a big fan of Benoit. - groiny Jan 14, 10:34
        
        where are all the Benoit T-Shirts? - groiny Jan 14, 10:33 1
        
        WCW was near death when he left. They were about 13months from being bought out. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 14, 10:35
        
        (And Chris Sullivan, the ex of his girlfriend, was the WCW booker at the time) -- nm - David Jan 14, 10:27 2
        
        and they haaaaaaaated each other -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:28 1
        
        (the guy who writes wrestling stuff for Grantland posted some from his book on this subject recently) -- nm - Beaker Jan 14, 10:29
- David Arquette was the WCW champion at one point. I think that pretty well negates that as a HOF qualifier, yes? -- nm - Jim Jan 14, 10:20
don't blame the wrestlers for WCW's stupidity -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jan 14, 10:16 1
- you have to, if you are using championships as a guage. - groiny Jan 14, 10:19
