It really infuriates me that post 2000 Eddie is being called vanilla when in 2004 and 2005 he was one of the best entertainers wrestling ever had.

Came here to say this. Benoit's promo and height were his career's downsides but today he'd be average or better with both.

The vanilla midget nickname works for his WCW run, he was skinny and had no character, buit then he took steroids and had the Latino Heat gimmick, he was entertaining

Chris Benoit was 5'11" and muscular, 5'11" is normal height, but back then he looked small next to Batista, Randy Orton, Triple H, Brock Lesnar etc. Today he would not be a midget at all

he's unironically worse than or not more than equal to the worst promos (all women) in AEW
He was laughably bad

All of the Radicalz were boring ass jabronies in WCW. The only reason Benoit even got the strap was because of his history with Sullivan who was booking back then. Yes, overall WCW booked them like shit, but none of them could get even a little over on their own and they were only known to be very good in the ring, nothing else. People who say the vanilla midget thing was wrong haven't watched WCW in the mid 90s.

What character did Nash have? He certainly wasn’t entertaining in the ring or on the mic
Eddie could run circles around him on both

Are you kidding? In what way did Saturn or Malenko were even known? Chris and Eddie did get a clue10 years later, but definitely not in WCW.

No. The nWo was. The Outsiders was. Nash literally tanked the ratings with his ideas.

Johnny has a decent physique for his size. He and Ciampa both got a clue, I don't know why Atom Cole can't.

nobody actually cares about the greatest wrestler North America has ever seen, they just want to be appalled

We don't sign our posts here. Saturn hadn't even joined WCW until the late 90s.

Nash as a booker was complete shit, but he was very over as a character and performer. All the rape jokes in the world won't change that.
The vanilla midgets were over in WCW too. Malenko was MORE over in WCW than he ever was in WWF. And note that Saturn and even Eddie were less over in the WWF until they got goofy new gimmicks (Moppy and Latino Heeeeat).
Lot of you guys exposing yourselves as zoomers who didn't actually live through the Monday Night Wars in this thread. Many such cases.
