Show Thoughts
I guess Benoit was used too much, but whatever. I want him moved up and this was a good chance for him with Bret, Sting & Curt in the main event even if he had no chance to win.
My tag team scene is so week it's sad. I've asked my road agents to look at some workers at house shows and really haven't gotten any good feedback on them. I'm also looking to trim some fat again and releasing some workers whom just aren't working out right now.
