![]() ![]() At number one.ĭidn't give him much of a chance. Heyman even stuck Benoit in the 2004 Royal Rumble. Besting top dogs, A-Train, Big Show, and Brock Lesnar in numerous matches.īecause of Paul Heyman's personal vendetta against Benoit, he never received a WWE title match. But in the end, Benoit failed.īenoit's push was renewed in 2003. He always came so close to gaining the title. Receiving title matches with The Rock, Kurt Angle, and even Brock Lesnar. Benoit was pushed numerous times over the years. ![]() Sadly, as a Benoit fan, that seemed to be true. The mid cards would be his permanent place. Most saw Benoit as not being Champion material. After bouncing from promotion to promotion, the question if Benoit would ever gain a World Championship was frequent. In 2003, the future of Chris Benoit was put into question. Benoit, after almost twenty years, won the World Championship on the biggest stage of them all, Wrestlemania XX. Though he may be scrutinized for his tragic end, Chris Benoit is one of the Greatest to step foot in the squared circle. Jeff swantoned Edge to win the WWE Title for the first time. ![]() Hardy was given another opportunity for the title at Armageddon. WWE made it seem so real that CNN even picked the story up. On the night of the PPV, and in one of the worst angles ever, Jeff was found "unconscious" in a hotel and was removed from the triple threat. He would wear face paint to the ring and recite dark speeches. Around this time, Hardy adopted a darker persona. Coming short in three matches against him, Hardy was placed in a triple threat with HHH and Kozlov. Hardy returned and surprisingly resumed his push and began feuding with Triple H. Frankly, I was disappointed by Jeff's action but still believed in him nonetheless. Hardy was cut from all scheduled matches, dropped the IC Title, and suspended for sixty days. Jeff suffered the first of his shortcomings when Orton snatched victory in the clutches of defeat. Over the next few weeks, Hardy dominated the WWE Champion at every turn, even pinning him in a tag match. My hopes for Hardy became extremely high. Hardy shocked me, and the WWE Universe when he defeated the Game at Armageddon. With a match being set for a shot at the WWE Championship. To my surprise, Hardy began a feud with Triple H. Him reforming the Hardys with Matt, it just validated my opinion. Yeah so, he won the IC Title a few times, still wasn't going to change the fact he would never become Champion. After a two-year stint with TNA, Hardy surprisingly returned to the WWE in 2006.įrom the start, I figured Hardy would never make it out of the mid cards. Though he returned to pro wrestling in 2004 with TNA, he always came up short in World Title matches. Plagued by a drug addiction, Hardy was released from the WWE in 2003. Though Jeff ultimately lost, my opinion of him never changed. Receiving a small push in 2003, Hardy faced the Undertaker for the Undisputed Title in HIS Ladder match. Jeff had wasted away every opportunity he had. For almost a decade, the argument was valid. His unforgettable stunts, and live for the moment attitude, caused many to believe Hardy was a glorified stuntman. Jeff was known more prominently for the Hardy Boyz. His chances of becoming WWE Champion were slim. 14, 2008, Jeff Hardy became the WWE Champion for the first time.
