Wasn't Tazz the oompa loompa?
But I have to agree, Eddie's and Benoit's reigns were terrible. They are two of the best wrestlers in the world, can carry anyone to a good match, have worked their asses off and are highly respected by simply everybody.
Yet what happens when they get the gold. They are lots of manurebooked. Benoit should have been booked as a second Bret Hart. A proud fighting champ, who will beat every opponent by giving all he's got.
But all the attention on Raw was given to HHH vs HBK. They had a hot feud and Benoit was stuck without anything important to do.
Eddie was booked against JBL. JBL has never been a great worker like Eddie. His push to the main event came too fast. Ratings dropped and Eddie couldn't handle the pressure. But that ratings would have gone up if Eddie would have been given a hot feud with Kurt Angle, Booker T, Rey jr. or RVD.
The sad thing about all of this is that Benoit and Eddie may never get another title reign again.
