i always wondered this he beat Sid Vicious for the WCW World Title and wasn't his dream to win a World Heavyweight champion. im remembering Wrestlemania 20 where the Commentators mentioned Beniot waiting 20 years to win the big one. but didn't he win it when was in WCW?

 

[Hiplop]

it was all hype for wrestlemania 20... it wouldnt be the same if he had won it earlier

 

[Unsexed]

The politics made him hate the job he loved so he quit along with Malenko, Gurerro and Saturn.

and Retcon.

Backstage Politics. WCW were notorious for pushing the old guys at that time such as Hogan & Nash.

When the commentators stated that Benoit never won the big one they were refering to the WWE World Title which obviously belongs to an entire different company altogether were it was re-christened as World Wrestling Entertainment Heavyweight Championship.

Tired of the politics, tired of the old men holding onto their spots at the expense of younger, often more talented wrestlers, just sick of WCW in general.

The used to talk about it while WCW was still going but that stopped after the buyout when there was less mileage in it for them. Him missing the Invasion storyline due to injury didn't help in that regard.

WCW only gave Benoit the title to keep him, it didn't work because he obviously knew they were buttering him up to stay and then it'd be back to business as usual. I don't know much about Benoit's time in WCW but he wasn't happy. The political atmosphere was the worst of any wrestling company I've ever heard about. Benoit's WCW title reign is usually not considered by people when talking about his career because it was just a shady attempt at sucking him into another contract. WCW was notorious for having no respect for its world title.

Kevin Sullivan, the EX of his wife Nancy, was booking again.

He threatened to walk out of WCW with several others if they didn't remove him from the booking. Sullivan gave him the title but Benoit walked out anyways.(Of course agreeing to drop the title before hand).

 

[Myers]

Benoit never really cared about being a world champion, he like most wrestlers only cared about the money.

what i meant was, the celebration wouldnt be the same if they were to say "A BOYHOOD DREAM, HES BEEN WAITING 20 YEARS FOR THIS, EXCEPT THAT ONE TIME... WHERE HE WON IT"

Question: Why did Chris Beniot leave WCW for WWE?

Answer: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[Kiz]

Is it really that hard to spell Benoit?

Anyways, sick of politics, wanted a fresh career. WWF offered him a new start, he took it, and thrived in an unmistakeably more professional organization.

 

[ViolenceIsGolden]

I'm sure Nash was pretty happy about Benoit leaving.

I remember Nash "congratulating" Benoit after he won the title. Even though Benoit was unhappy there and wanted to leave for a long time, job well done Big Sexy.

Actually, Benoit didn't agree to drop the title. He won the belt at Souled Out 2000, then quit the company that night. WCW played it off on Nitro the next night that Sid's foot was under the bottom rope and stripped Benoit of the title and vacated it.

 

[SHIRLEY]

They only gave him the belt as a last gasp effort to keep him. Too little, too late.

 

[Vic Capri]

Because Kevin Sullivan was the head booker and That One Guy knew he was going to booked like shit.

[Eyeball Nipple]

Who fucking cares? The guy killed his wife and son, then hung himself. Fuck him in the ear.

 

[xhbkx]

Why does everyone spell Benoit "Beniot" I swear every time there's a thread about him it's always spell "Beniot".

 

[neverfold450]

Who fucking cares? The guy killed his wife and son, then hung himself. Fuck him in the ear.

You're an idiot. This thread isn't about what he did it's about why he left WCW. How about you try reading the title before you come here with your idiotic comments.

 

[Izzytron3030]

thanks you guys really appreciate it

 

[FLAW]

who knows? why did he kill his family? cant get into that guys head
