Nope.
No matter how hard they tried (all of 2007 just about) to push him on the fans...in the end they just didn't buy into him. They'll do just fine without him.

Not at all, he was as generic as they come, theres a line of guys waiting to take his spot, and just waiting to be as boring and akward as he was

Considering the highlight of his career, IMO, was cutting a promo where he sounded like Vince had raped him, I'd say, he had no effect.

Yeah... it made it much better. Screw him and his absurd push.

No, the idea of Hardy's main event push came before he left anyway.

Nope, not even a blip.
I mean, it did make the WWE at least 10% more watchable to me, but that's about it.

When Gene Snitsky left the WWE, there was a big void in the main event scene that is still hurting the E today. Did Benjamin's release make such impact or can the WWE survive without him? Fixed for WWE logic. |

Lashley is ready to begin his new career as the Demon Barber of Stanford.

No. He would have a hard time fitting back in, IMO. Things were just fine without him... Lashley who? |

NO....they hadn't even really bothered to mention him since he left. The WWE didn't actually care.

As far as an impact in the future? No, I wouldn't say so. I didn't notice that he was gone while watching Raw, and I'm really hard pressed to think what they'd even do with him if he came back. Don't let the door hit you on the way out Bobby, I won't miss you. It does suck for WWE though in the sense that they jobbed so many people out to him and spent so much time trying to get the guy over, when he won't be around for the future.

No, because all of the man eventers PLUS Jericho are back. If that wasn't the case, which was when he was out things would be much different. Lets think back, when he went down in July Triple H, Rey, Taker, and Jericho weren't there. Lets say Lashley didn't get hurt in July but quit the company things would be much different, but because the roster is now stacked I'll say NO BATHTURD

Let's see: He was not a proven draw. His merchandise wasn't exactly screaming off shelves. And people aren't exactly crying for Vince's head for firing him on message boards. Survey Says!  |

He did had a generic "Dominate" shirt. If his shirt was more flashy, I think more people will buy it.
