I wonder if there's anything more to why Val Venis never broke through to that main event level cause it seems like they had their finger hovering around the trigger a couple times. That fall '99 push, his IC Title run in the Summer of '00 that was ruined by him joining RTC, hell even him being a enforcer for Eric Bischoff in '02/'03ish seemed like it could at least lead to him being a strong semi-main event guy. The STWW on Val from six months back frustratingly danced around and didn't really answer why he was so close but so far to becoming a main eventer on several occasions?
Was it cause he was an outspoken, opinionated jackass? Did the globalist, pedophile cannibal elites hold him down? We'll probably never know tbh. RIP Coffey.
