8. “The Radicalz” debut on Monday Night RAW (2000)
Despite having many good moments on the undercard of WCW, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, and Perry Saturn had been through enough of the company’s political atmosphere backstage. They foursome was never able to break the proverbial ‘glass ceiling.’
One last attempt in January 2000 was made to try to keep Benoit with WCW by putting the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship on him, defeating Sid Vicious at Souled Out in the process.
However, due to disagreements with management, and to protest the promotion of Kevin Sullivan to head booker, all four men, including Benoit who was WCW Champion, left the company the next day.
A few weeks later, they appeared on WWF Monday Night Raw.
