Guest Report post Posted March 21, 2004 If Eddie or Benoit took his ball and went home, would you be just as angry as you are know with Brock? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Probably, but not as much. Eddie/Benoit worked their asses off for where they are at. Brock was shoved down fans throats for months until he magically got over. But still, I'd be pretty upset at them if they took their ball and left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Nope. Wrestling is a drug; you have guys like Hogan and Flair who are addicted to the spotlight and never want to leave. If Eddie or Benoit would be happier outside of such a sleazy business, or didn't want to end up in a wheelchair or dead at 40, good for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted March 21, 2004 This, of course, could have went into the still-active thread about the "Brock situation", but I guess the temptation to make stupid threads is just too much for the weaker of us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Brock being ruined for life considering he was Vince's new "boy". I recently read that Brock somehow pissed Vince off as early as last November by complaining about something. That would explain why he was booked so poorly for the next three months, and kind of takes him off Vince's "boy list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It had to have been Russo....and with Russo as a booker in any company things will always shuffle. The only person that is on top with him is the man with the "prop".

Yeah, that's true, but they'll go right back to hating Triple H again for... being on the active roster. Then they'll bitch a bit more about Rock's tattoos or something... EDIT: Back on-topic, wrestling is like a business: if you leave when you're needed, it's like stabbing your boss and all of your friend and co-workers in the back, and when you have a job to do, you do it, and you don't complain. Someday you'll get a world title shot after ten years of being abused by going against a man who got pushed to the top in one year and still wants more (see Lesnar/ Holly RR 2004) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted March 21, 2004 Technically, he was going to be shafted down the card. I forgot who it was at the time, but they were behind Benoit winning the title at Souled Out. It had to have been Russo....and with Russo as a booker in any company things will always shuffle. The only person that is on top with him is the man with the "prop". Russo, dispite all his faults was the FIRST booker to seriously treat Benoit like a star and when he arrived to WCW, He took benoit out of that dead end REVOLUTION angle and put him on top, Gave him a push in the WCW 32 Man Tournament going over Melenko, Hall and Jarrett (we'll ignore the Medusa thing)... and was put in a big program against Jarrett, whom was easily the true #1 heel in the company with the US Title. He was put in a feud against the NWO Silver and Black team. Benoit was likely going to be BUILT as a legit contender under russo, I believe the plan was for him to go over Bret a couple months later but that's when Russo got shitcanned and Sullivan was promoted. Benoit knew what was going to happen, he smartly saw through the bullshit of them giving him the WCW Title . The only question I have is this...Why did he even go over? Why didn't he just WCW a nice little fuck you and botch the finish...I mean the title was going to Sid for him to job back to Nash anyways...so Benoit should have NOT given into WCW's request to be a dummy champion. I still wonder if Bret never got injuried, Would he have used his power play ability to Keep Benoit from getting demoted and humliated by Sullivan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EDIT: Back on-topic, wrestling is like a business: if you leave when you're needed, I've yet to see anything that suggests Brock is needed right now. They were gonna use him as a job boy. Someday you'll get a world title shot after ten years of being abused by going against a man who got pushed to the top in one year and still wants more (see Lesnar/ Holly RR 2004) I must have misread that.

It seems like you are saying that Holly deserved that push. No, I don't think Holly deserved that push in any form at all. He should be jobbed out in my opinion, but my point was that, if you stick around long enough, you'll get back to some point where you are needed again, if you're saying that he wasn't needed. Either way, it's still a lame thing to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
