June 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(Shadows @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 01:58 AM) Yeah because im sure its so hard to find a Benoit match from their archives.. No one is trying to be overly critical like GPratt said, but this is a special, I want to see some of the best of Benoits matches We still got 5 more hours of this with ECW and SD!. I'm sure there will be plenty of good ones.
June 26, 200718 yr They're going to devote ECW and Smackdown, too? Not saying that's too much. I haven't watched those shows in years so I didn't (don't) know if it's common practice to give Tribute Shows on all three.
June 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(Shadows @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:05 PM) Sweet WCW matches Damn. It's sad to realize that in that match, the only ones still alive are Malenko and Nick Patrick.

June 26, 200718 yr Interesting trivia: Dean Malenko is credited as being the inventor of the Crippler Crossface [1], Goldberg's Jackhammer [2] and the Dudley Boyz' Dudley Death Drop [3]. I didn't know that. QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:08 PM) They did when Eddie died. Okay. I keep in touch with PPVs and writeups nowadays. Thanks.
June 26, 200718 yr This match reminds me of when WCW's main event scene was crap, their undercards were awesome with Jericho, Benoit, Eddie, Malenko, Rey, etc.

I remember one year we somehow got Hog Wild for free on cable, I cant remember which one it was though
June 26, 200718 yr Hog Wild was bad in terms that it was in front of thousands of drunk bikers who don't give a crap. If that match was in front of a full arena of wrestling fans, it would of been better. Poor Malenko, first Eddie and now Chris.

Malenko just said that he was the one who gave him the hold
June 26, 200718 yr abcnews.com is reporting that the deaths are being investigated as homicides. Wow.

June 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) Think they'll show the Bret/Benoit match from Nitro the night after Owen died? I dunno, I wish they would have shown more matches.. they have shown what, like 4 parts of matches so far and there is a little over an hour left.. Ide expect two more matches, and im sure one has to be when he won the title (WCW or WWE, either one would be good) Edited June 26, 200718 yr by Shadows
June 26, 200718 yr I don't want to come off as totally inappropriate but I used to LOVE Nancy Sullivan.
June 26, 200718 yr QUOTE(The Critic @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 08:32 PM) abcnews.com is reporting that the deaths are being investigated as homicides. Wow. That may just be protocol. At least I hope it wasn't like that. Wrestlecrap boards say the report out of Atlanta is that it maybe a homicide after all. I have trouble believing if the call from Benoit to WWE yesterday is true.
June 26, 200718 yr Reports out of Atlanta now are that it's being investigated as a murder-suicide, with Benoit killing his wife last night, and then taking his own life today. I pray this isn't true.
