While binging on wwf attitude era, I noticed Eddie and Benoit starting dissention at no way out 2001. Why not run with this match at mania instead of Benoit/angle (which I know was good but didn’t have a real built in story like Benoit and Eddie). They did the Benoit/Eddie blowoff on some random raw instead. It would of been like blowing off Ambrose vs Rollins on some random raw. Anyone else agree they should of saved it for mania?

I imagine they either decided Benoit vs Angle was a bigger match, or they just didn't have anything better to do for Kurt, and it isn't like he was going to want to face Test for the European title. As lowest on the totem pole between the three guys, putting Eddie in that match made sense.

Yeah I assume it was more about needing Angle (who had just been WWE Champ) to do something reasonably higher profile than a European title match, than needing Benoit to go against Eddie to continue that feud. Putting Eddie in as a Triple Threat or even Test in a 4-way for the European Championship would have been a bit too similar to Benoit and Angle's previous Wrestlemania match too.

Make it Eddie v Benoit and move Angle into a match with Jericho and I think you improve Wrestlemania 17 even more than it already was!

What WAS the story for Eddie being so damn miserable at this show? Wasn't the story that Eddie had just turned heel and didn't want to break character? He was upset about jobbing to Benoit pretty fresh off a heel turn and he kinda just didn’t give a shit about being at an ECW reunion show |
