Benoit's not the Rock, but he's hardly the microphone inept he's made out to be either.

[James Steele]

Indeed, Benoit can do a great "intense" promo. He may not be able to do comedy worth shit or anything like that. But you look at Benoit heading into WM XX. Those were good "intense" promos.

Benoit and CHRIS FUCKING JERICHO are wrestling gods. So Sensai, I know I'm going to get heat for this but I don't give a fuck:



Shut Up You Ignorant Ass!

[Anybody Thrilla]

I know I'm late, but YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

RKO! RKO! RKO!

I fucking hate you for many reasons....

But

Explain to me how Benoit is not boring? Same fucking routine over and over again, shitty catchphases "Prove me Wrong", and he has NO CHRISMA! None!

To purists, Benoit is a god. To the fans who "APPRECIATE PURE WRESTLING" Benoit is a god. I loved Benoit when he was in WCW and for the most part in the WWF/WWE but I cant stand watching him anymore.

The same shitty "germans" (suplexs), going for the crossface. Its tired.

Plus there is a reason why The Rock has 7 WWE Title Reigns while Benoit has only 1. Because he has the Chrisma, the Mic Skills AND THE WRESTLING ABILITY!

So suck my balls, Kane Knight.

[Quick1]

Don't worry about Kane Knight he's just a grumpy old goof.

Mr. Steele, did I ever say anything bad about Y2J Chris Jericho? Umm, No. Why not? Because CHRIS JERICHO FUCKING KICKS ASS. HE HAS the Chrisma, the Mic Skills and the Ability.

I dont see Benoit hosting "The Highlight Reel", do you?

I respect Benoit and Jericho both for their abilities. But Benoit is boring to watch.

If by intense you mean boring.

[Gone Mad]

y2j is god!! I just hope the one chance ol' Lionhart gets a shot at the World title isn't against RKO now because knowing the writers now, they're all Orton right now.

And as for Benoit, he can wrestle just about anyone into a good match. But yes,he become uninteresting especially for the bad writing. It just reeked of Jericho's Undisputed run but just not as bad. After all, J played the background character to Steph, hhh, and the dog and he was supposed to be the main event guy with hhh.

I still would have marked if Benoit blew at least one snot rocket on an opponent during his reign. Especially HHH.

Great First Post

[Sensei Of Mattitude]

Bret Hart is definitely one of my all time favorites

BUT

The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels ranks higher on my list

[Quick1]

Aw Other wrestlers > Bret > Flair > Holly

[Sensei Of Mattitude]

obvisiously im from Philly and I was at the Mind Games IYH many years ago and HBK vs Mankind is one of my favorite matches of all time

back and forth, one of the first table spots, incredible action

Shawn is awesome, but I wont ever forget the amazing matches by The Hitman. vs Perfect at SS91, vs Owen (over and over again).... such good stuff.

im a dallas fan

Well I just got back from the show and it was incredible.Considering I had never gone to a WWE event ever it will always stay close to my heart.The matches were great except the taker/jbl match which was kinda boring, hell they started doing the wave in the ACC.Best match was definetely the Orton/Benoit match and after I saw Orton hit the RKO and get the 3 count I stood up and cheered for nearly ten minutes.You would not believe how many Evolution fans their were.All the Orton/Evolution T-shirts were sold out.I wanted to get that Legend Killer shirt with the check marks but no luck.Some moron from the crowd jumped onto the JBl limo as soon as Taker got Dq'ed and was promptly tackled by about 5 security guards.Their were massive cheers for Orton and everyone appuled him afterward.

Some strange events transpired where I was sitting including some dude saying hulk hogan was bitch which prompted some dude sitting beside him with a hulkmania shirt to take offense.A fight nearly broke out.During the Orton/Benoit match some dude said he would bet anyone Benoit would win with the crossface about two minutes before the match ended.As soon as the three count went down after the Rko he ran out as fast as he could.Edward Scissorhands looking fool

SummerSlam was gr... wait, what the hell was wrong with that crowd? Aside from the Angle/Guerrero and Orton/Benoit match, I had a hard time paying attention to the matches.


Six Man Tag - I'm happy to say that I liked a match involving the Dudleyz that didn't suck, and that isn't a TLC. On the other hand, my liking the match was 99% thanks to the trifecta of Rey Mysterio, Billy Kidman and Paul London. They did a magnificent job with keeping the match fast paced, which is a hard thing to do against guys like Buh-Buh and D-Von. This is yet another example of why the WWE should incorporate more cruiserweight matches on SmackDown! tapings. Too bad that "the bad guys" won, but it's of little concern when the match was that fun to watch.


Matt Hardy vs. Kane - It was a thankfully quick match, with some nice spots here and there. The top-of-the-rope Chokeslam was a nice way to end the match, but I'm disappointed that neither Lita turned heel nor HBK interfered.


Booker T. vs. John Cena - Nothing special about this match, really. I liked Cena at one point, but night after night I wonder what all the fuss was about. His promos aren't funny, although that's more of the writers' fault. His wrestling is... um... like The Rock, but without the fun-to-watch overreaction and, dare I say it, electricity. Booker was solid, but he can put better matches against better wrestlers. I really could care less where this feud is headed.


Edge vs. Y2J vs. Batista - Here's where we start noticing the crowd's dopey reactions. Hometown hero Edge gets booed, even though it was Y2J that showed the more heel approach towards SummerSlam. On occasion the fans turned towards Edge, but then started going after him even worse. They made no sense. As for the match, I liked it whenever Batista was out of the picture. I found myself rooting for Jericho. Either the fans got to me, or there was something more than lettuce and mayo in my chicken sandwich.


Guerrero vs. Angle - The match of the night, again. I was surprised that Eddie tried to cheat his way out of a loss, considering the WWE implied they'd both be looking to win the match fairly. Never mind Luther's kick early on... it happens so often, it has virtually no effect on the outcome of the match. I'm glad Angle won cleanly, although I expected him to cheat for irony sakes. Either way, excellent match. I didn't like Angle's performance on his return match, but his work tonight showed he's back in business.


Triple H vs. Eugene - Watch out! The crowd takes another hit! They start chanting Eugene, then boo him... then chant him again, the boo him some more... it was crazy! I could only think of how ridiculous Nick Dinsmore (Eugene) must've felt playing his character that was supposed to incite cheers and support against a crowd that was disapproving everything he did. It was almost hard to watch, and very distracting. This may have caused my dislike for the match, because I came out of it thinking, "Boy, was that terrible!"

This begs the question, where does Eugene go from here? Sure, he could become a tag team with William Regal, but that will eventually get old fast. His gimmick only works for angles like the one he had with Triple H, and I doubt people would like to see that again.


Diva Dodgeball - The only part worth watching was the intro to the match, where we got to see some of the hot Diva-wannabes in bikinis. However, I was surprised at the absence of Carmella. As far as I know, the Diva vote-off takes place on every RAW, so where was she?

The whole thing was boring, and completely pointless. I think a gay guy thought up that dodgeball idea, because no guy's getting a hard-on out of that alone (And isn't that what Divas are for, really?), unless you're "Jim" from American Pie. In other words, "bathroom break." The Canadian crowd seemed to express their displeasure, though it certainly came out gay to boo at half-naked chicks.


The Undertaker vs. John Bradshaw Layfield - The outcome was expected, and while the match wasn't particularly good, it had a good ending. 'Taker needs to throw out the window a few biker habits, though: The shirt, the ridiculous boxing stance, and the "I'm done with you" gesture he made when he left bloody JBL on top of the car. Get with the gimmick, Deadman.

Oh, and that missed punch by 'Taker after the match was over? What was that? As a huge Taker mark, I looked in embarrassment.

The crowd started chanting for "tables... tables...," as if the match featured D-Von and co. What the fuck were they all on? And what's with the wave? Hm? Dopeheads.


Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton - Like Orton vs. Edge, this match started getting good about halfway through. The beginning was somewhat boring, which I'm not used to feeling from a Benoit bout. Still, Orton held his own against the better wrestler, at least to a point. Too bad Orton won cleanly. CLEAN. Benoit couldn't beat HHH once clean during his title reign, after 18 years of busting his ass, and here comes this relative nobody and beats him cleanly? I like Randy Orton, but the overwhelming magnitude of his push is outrageous, and I wouldn't be surprised if he quickly got disinterested with proving the world time and again that he's that good. Then we have Benoit, whose road to become a champion was heavily hyped through the different RAW shows and a DVD, only to have him losing the title in such a short time. Reminds me of The Undertaker back in '97, where he held the title for the same amount of time.

Good luck Randy, you'll need it... or should I say, good luck WWE?

Joy with the MOUNTAIN TITS is nothing more than a girl with HUGE JUGS. She doesnt bring anything to the table except saving Vince $3000-6000 dollars on a new rack.

Shut up you fucking idiot. Joy's boobs are great, she can shake her ass like a mofo, and she actually tries to win. Chrissy is retarded, so let's all vote for Joy

Was too tired to post my thoughts last night, so here they are:

- What the fuck was up with the crowd? King was right (for a change), they were in Bizzaroland.

- Six man tag was better than I thought it would have been, like the end with the 619/shooting star part

- Holy crap at the chokeslam Matt took

- IC title match was Surprised to hear the crowd boo the hometown boy

- Eddie vs Kurt was entertaining, untill the feed went and completly ruined the ending

- Expected to see Eugene beat Triple H, was abit of a shock when H won. Was funny seeing Flair being dragged backstage by his feet

- Diva Dodgeball was so unbelievably fucking retarded. Diva's broke alignment (Trish playing face captain, until they lost) , they looked fucking stupid, and the Diva search contestants are all ugly sluts.

- Expected Taker to win, but oh well. Thought he was gonna tombstone JBL on the car instead of chokeslamming him

- Orton vs Benoit was pretty decent. When Orton hit the RKO, I was left abit bewildered and didn't really take it in (maybe because I had been up since 6am and it was getting to 4am over here), then when he won I was kinda left like 'What......Ah right'. Liked the way Benoit made Orton 'Be a man' and shake his hand, dunno why though.

Overall, it wasn't too bad, the Diva bit really made SummerSlam abit shit, seeing as they could have had RVD vs Dupree on instead. Might buy it when it comes out on DVD, but only for the Orton/Benoit and Eddie/Kurt matches.

Are you repping me because I was actually a part of the wave at Summerslam? The guys that started it were about 10 rows above me, it was pretty funny

[DaveWadding]

Well, that, and the fact that you're totally the fucking man.

I was cheering both guys I have nothing Orton, last nights RKo was Diamond Cutter quality. What a fucking great match. Math of the year so far.

I'll have to DL it as soon as I get home today.

Sweety. I knew it was coming. I got a 5 star match out of it, the ring apron DDT, soem sweet as shit submission moves and reverals, two holy shit bumbs from Benoit a great face turn respect finish. Orton's reaction to winning the title was great. Is this what I wanted? No. But this was one of the few ways I can accept it. Besides, Benoit is now the first Chasmpion since the return of the belt in 2002 to not drop the title back to Triple H. It actually makes him look liek a real champion.
