On a lighter note... Anyone here seen the post-WrestleMania VII match on Coliseum Video between The Hart Foundation and The Legion of Doom? LOD goes over, but honestly, I don't remember if it was any good. I was just happy to see such a bout. I'd include that over say, the KOTR 93 bouts or the 1st HBK ladder match, because it's just as rare as the ladder match, and for the marks, I think less people have seen it than the Michaels bout. Still, my KOTR tape will remain a favorite.... "Your dad never beat my dad!"

Sting/Bret from Mayhem a gem? Bret/Benoit from Mayhem a gem? I guess when you sit on the toilet and go #2 you see "gems". These were two mediocre matches, that were elevated into "great" status...you know, what, let me interrupt myself... Sting/Bret was shit. Benoit/Bret was elevated into "what a final!" status, due to Mayhem '99 as a whole BEING UTTERLY AWFUL. Benoit/Bret from Mayhem was okay. Marred by interference by EVERY SINGLE MAIN EVENTER. Benoit/Bret "Owen Tribute" was a good match. It wasn't "super special", IMO, but it was "special" in that it paid respect to Owen, and was a good, clean bout. The Mayhem match PALES in comparison. I doubt you'll see Razor/Bret KOTR, nor Bret/Bigelow KOTR. Honestly, Bret's WCW run was a disaster. He had not one memorable match that mattered. Ever. The match with Benoit at "Kember" was non-storyline (Bret cleanly defeated the TV Champ), and although good, didn't reflect either man's storyline. I say, McMahon...and Bret...PORTRAY BRET'S RUN IN WCW AS BEING TERRIBLE. Because by that time, Bret was over the hill, as were his regular opponents (Flair, Hennig, Luger, DDP, Sting, Vicious). And don't even show Goldberg's "career ending kick". Because the actual kick is not even impressive. And if anyone has anything to argue or say against this, I will back it up with clips, posted here, or reports, of Bret's most ridiculous "tenure" in WCW. As a major WCW historian, I sometimes try to ignore that Bret Hart ever existed in the company. And it's not all his fault. Just his opponents and lame bookers. Edit: To FRIGIDSOUL: Souled Out 1998. (Vs. Flair)

It's an awesome DVD, I plan on watching the "indy/Japan/ECW" part and then going to the gym and then watching the WCW/WWE half... And by the way, ONE THING... For *ANYONE* that *EVER* argues that Mankind/Taker is a 5-star match, because the "bumps were amazing" and "sick" and "one of a kind".... WATCH BENOIT/ANGLE CAGE MATCH FULL. German Suplex....OFF THE TOP ROPE. Top of the Cage Moonsault. Top of the Cage Headbutt (with a highly fucked up neck...a move Benoit did NOT want to do). And then tell me Foley/Taker is "5 stars"... If anything, Angle/Benoit is 10 stars, on that scale.

And Deadwood is terribly boring.

Benoit's father tells the story of Chris's missing tooth. They were walking their large Rottweiler in the backyard, who jumped up, cracked its head with Benoit's jaw, and out popped the tooth.

Lotsa good ECW stuff in the main feature. Shows Dean & Chris winning the tag straps, a couple Benouit superbombs, Triple Threat promo, Benoit throwing around Sabu, Myers, & Snow... Benoit's WCW re-debut (coming out of the limo) is shown. Watch in amazement during Eddie Vs. Benoit from 10/16/95 Nitro as Bischoff tries to call moves, and then when the other announcers get them right, Bischoff interrupts them and says "I swear I saw it clearly, it was...<move> instead". Some odd coverage of Benoit's WWF 2000 arrival. They do the entire buildup package and match for The Rock at FL 00....but when it comes to Stone Cold, the Edmonton match is completely ignored except for a brief mention. God Benoit had an awful outfit in 93 for WCW.

God, the footage of Orndorff from '00 Nitro...... Benoit discusses Orndorff coming back from a neck injury and his entire right side being week and having no muscular development. It's sad footage. If it was Russo's call to put Orndorff in the ring in that kind of shape, fuck you, Vince.

Footage of Benoit Vs. Bob Holly from 1995 Raw, tryout match. Owen footage just teared me up Benoit...Chris breaks down several times during this DVD.

Watching it now. FYE for 19.99...14.99 after rebate.

Jarrett's not a main eventer. He's only been so in USWA, WCW, and TNA because he's a medium-sized ex-WWF fish in a little pond. Two of the three companies have gone out of business, as well. Jarrett's a very strong mid-card wrestler/champion. He should stay there. If I was Austin, I wouldn't want to work him either. He draws apathy heat, is generic, and generally annoying to watch wrestle.

Hey, can anyone give me some help: Past couple of weeks my buddies and I have been makin' Raw more fun with a "Take a Shot" Raw drinking game: Examples including: - "Take a shot for hearing that awful "WHEN I OPEN MY EYESSSS!!!" song during the "Diva Search" - "Take a shot for Jericho insulting a larger wrestler only to get pinned or pummeled later" Since more than half the show will be HHH/Benoit match, obviously, a large amount of the game will have to do with these two stars. Can some people list some drinking rules for the match, and any other funny nuinsances from the past month or so? Annoying things that make the show suck are what we're looking for: Not needing 100 posts of "Drink if..." Just like, 5 or so at a time 'til I get a decent list. Thanks! Edit: Thanks to whoever moved this and made in a new thread. I thought it'd be flame bate for starting another Raw-related thread the day of the show.

To correct some posters' errors: SHREK 2 is right now 170 million behind Titanic's U.S. record. SHREK 2 is over 1 billion dollars behind Titanic's Worldwide record. So slow your role on the "Shrek 2 is so close to Titanic!" Also, Return of the King is the #7 grossing U.S. movie. It went to #2 Worldwide, however.

I watched the entire match, from Benoit's entrance on WWE.com. Perhaps they updated it.

I certainly think this has the potential to be a CLASSIC THREAD, in time. However, there's just a little something missing. That one thing to elevate the thread. One more wacky, hilarious idea...anyone...

Yes, Shane ran down to stop Elizabeth from coming to ringside during Flair/Savage. Good eye.

That Arsenal guy is what, 100 lbs? Why is he wrestling/winning matches?

Becca trying to give the 'net a "Rude Awakening" is as threatening as Rucde himself attempting to execute the move on the likes of Sting and The Ultimate Warrior. Not bloody likely. MAN that site runs slow...

Did anyone get a "Rude Awakening" yet?

I believe Psicosis had a short haircut, now. He's not even using "Psicosis" anymore is he? Isn't it "Nicho el Milionairo" now?

Bradshaw's character sucks when he acts like a pussy.

I'd love these two to just have a stiff as hell match at SummerSlam. Why not, their both "locker room generals" apparently, and been around a while, let them take it to each other, Texas-style.

That's an awesome visual, with the smoke.

Sixers patted down to play their games. Perenial bridesmade Eagles. Haha.
