Promoter 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 We all knew about the loophole in the Royal Rumble that had Benoit jumping to raw and challenging for the world heavyweigh title. He became the champion and held it until SummerSlam. He got his rematch for the title last night. Will the wwe have Benoit sent back to smackdown in storylines because of the initial telling of the story that Benoit jumped to raw and was only raw property because he won the Rumble and was their top champion? I wouldn't mind Benoit going to smackdown and becoming the champion there at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest whitemilesdavis Report post Posted August 17, 2004 That would actually be a really good idea, but WWE doesn't have that long of a memory. Yeah, I'd like to see it happen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Loss Report post Posted August 17, 2004 They have probably already forgotten that this even happened. They couldn't even remember in the build to Benoit v Orton at Summerslam that Benoit had defeated Orton in a tag match here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted August 17, 2004 I was actually thinking of this......I just doubt something like this would happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 I would like to see that, but it sounds like Benoit is sticking around on Raw. Apparently Benoit jumped to Raw to be on Raw, not just to take their championship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rrrsh Report post Posted August 18, 2004 I would liek to see a switch too. With the returns of Christian, HBK and Benjerman in the near future, RAW dosen't need Benoit at all. SD is starving for Main Event players, and since Benoit has a built in storyline reason, it might as well be him. Plus, if you do the math, it looks as tho Benoit would get that piece of crap Batsita in a throw away match at Unforgivin instead of a match that matters.

Guest Staravenger Report post Posted August 18, 2004 There is a possibility of Orton giving Benoit a rematch at Unforgiven to show he's a good guy...then have Benoit turn heel and join Evolution. OK, I'd hope for anything to have Benoit as World Champion again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
razazteca 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2004 If Benoit does go to Smackdown then who will he be traded for......Cena, Haas, Noble? Could Bischoff send the Diva Search to Smackdown as an exclusive also? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rrrsh Report post Posted August 18, 2004 I dont think it would be a trade. Storylien wise, he has always been a SD wrsetler, he was juts on RAW because of his garentee shot at the belt and his reign as champ. No trade is needed. But if they do a trade, hopefully its a tag team. RAW needs tag teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OK, I'd hope for anything to have Benoit as World Champion again. I wonder if they will mention that Benoit and Flair used to be together as the Four Horseman, with Arn Anderson and Mongo McMichael. With Benoit doing to handshake after the match Sunday, I doubt he will turn heel against Orton. It will probably be more like, restrain your gag reflex, Hogan and Savage. Between the two of, they go all out, but against anyone else, they're team mates all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Just Looking Report post Posted August 18, 2004 Benoit should be Apollo Creed to Orton's Rocky Balboa in Rocky III. Benoit teaches Orton that he needs to change his style to beat a man like HHH. It would make Orton more credible, and would cement in the fans minds that Benoit is a man who has seen it all and is still the best technical wrestler in the business.

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2004 If they didn't remember Brock as WWE Champion was only "exclusive" to Smackdown because he was paid to just show up on Smackdown, then they sure as hell wouldn't remember this, since it's very forgivable.

Guest Rock-a-jabroni Report post Posted August 18, 2004 I'd love to see Benoit back on Smackdown now that Eddie Geurrero is finally in the World Title scene. A nice feud between the two for the title would have me wet in the pants. However, I don't think he'll end up back on Smackdown any time soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
