I completely agree about Eddie Guerrero and as read earlier Chris Benoit. I was actually outraged when they walked away with the titles after WM. I thought neither of them were world title caliber, and that it was a complete mistake. As we have seen now, it was. Just as stated earlier, Benoit had absolutely no character or charisma, now we know he was also a fuckin' psycho, and I thought he lacked the right look as well, I thought he was too small for it. As for Eddie, I hate to repeat it but, not world title material plain and simple. He wasn't that great on the mic, basically a walking stereotype, and also was naturally too small. I thought it was a disgrace to have him and Benoit as champions. When one goes over Kurt Angle and the other over Triple H, that's a travesty. I know I am all hung up with champions being big, but there is a reason for that, it's because heavyweights are supposed to be big. There has been one and only one exception to me for this rule and that is Kurt Angle, the only reason so, is because he is just so damn good it doesn't matter. He is strong enough to go head to head with anyone and more skilled than well....basically everybody.
WOW, I couldn't disagree more.
Chris Benoit may have lacked mic skills but you can't say he didn't have character. He was the Rabid Wolverine and his look made that believable. The toothless grin and incredible physique. How can you say Kurt Angle deserved to be champion if Benoit didn't? They're practically the same. Both are the best technical wrestlers to ever step foot in a WWE ring. Benoit may not have a gold medal like Angle but that doesn't mean he wasn't as good. They had similar movesets too and Kurt Angle was influenced a lot by Benoit, which is apparent since he used Benoit's triple German Suplexes.
Eddie was one of the most entertaining wrestlers ever and no he wasn't small. He may have been short but he was in great shape. His arms were huge! In WWE, it's the entertainment factor that determines whether you make it big or not. Eddie was just that: entertaining. He was great in the ring and his "Lie, Cheat, Steal" tactics were some of the funniest things ever.
You honestly think it's a travesty when someone goes over Triple H? It's a travesty when Triple H goes over much more talented superstars. He's at the point in his career where he should be like Shawn Michaels and putting over younger talent, not politicking his way into beating Ric Flairs record. Triple H has given us the same recycled garbage for the last 8 years. Benoit was a breath of fresh air to the World Heavyweight Title.
I don't think Sid was so bad but then again I like the big guys. I just find them more believable. Who wouldn't believe that Brock Lesnar could come out, totally dominate you, hit an F-5 and end you? Who wouldn't believe Kevin Nash could jackknife someone through the floor, or that the Undertaker could tombstone anybody straight to hell, and so on. It's just more believable and makes more sense. If it were different than you could have guys like Paul London and Brian Kendrick, or Colin Delaney, or maybe Funaki !!!!! Yep, I'd beleive they could beat Batista, or Cena, or Triple H, or Edge just about as much as I'd believe it was raining shit outside. I still stand by the fact I think Rey was the worst but Benoit and Eddie were huge discredits to the title. Funny how the titles lost value after those two had them. Brock Lesnar kept it believable, so did Angle and the titles meant something still when they had them. It wasn't until John Cena got the undisputed and changed it, and then Randy Orton getting the World Heavywieght that they started to gain back their value after those two had them.
With the exception of Undertaker and Lesnar, super heavyweights as champion are incredibly dull. You honestly think Kevin Nash was a better champion than Benoit and Eddie? Kevin Nash is worse than John Cena. I can write out an entire Kevin Nash match right now: elbows in the corner, knees in the corner, shoulder thrusts in the corner, sidewalk slam, Jackknife. How dull.
Paul London and Brian Kendrick are very talented. If they were build up as future main eventers, I would think they're believable champions. I'm only saying this because they gave Rey the belt. IMO, Paul London is more talented than Rey.
...RANDY ORTON putting credit on the World Title over Benoit? Really? Is that why he only held it for a month? Orton was only 25 at the time. He only became champion for two reasons: 1. Erase Lesnar's record and 2. One up Triple H's World Title number. You're honestly telling me veterans like Eddie and Benoit disgraced the title while Orton, who clearly wasn't ready for a world title, suddenly made it credible?
And you think John Cena made the title credible after turning it into a bling-bling toy? Nice.
You have a problem tht he is a midget? and becouse of his name?
