Christ, you'd be all pissed off if Benoit had triped over Nash and cracked his neck again. You'd be screaming "Crusify or DEATH," get your feet back on the ground. There's a few reasons for that.. A. Benoit is one of the best wrestlers in the world B. Benoit doesn't play bullshit backstage politics C. Benoit isn't part of the gayest group of wrestlers ever assembled, the "Clique", who's main point was to look out for nobody but themselves. D. Benoit doesn't hobble around the ring taking the spotlight from the real wrestlers that deserve it. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Down Below Report post Posted July 9, 2002 It's never a good thing when someone blows out a knee..or gets injuried for that matter (especially with Nash who has a history of knee injurys)...but it was funny watching it because it was just so ironic that within 10 seconds he got in, he gets hurt. Obviously, learning more about this...it's no laughing matter basically. I feel much the same way. I don't dislike Nash with a passion, infact I have visited his website a few times and I find his commentaries interesting. But the fact that he got injured again so quickly, makes this funny. With apologies to Mel Brooks, tragedy is when I cut my finger, comedy is when you fall into a sewer and die. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest cynicalprofit Report post Posted July 9, 2002 The injury couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Man Benoit has lasted 2 weeks now from his return. Nash will now be gone from TV, THANK FUCKING GOD! Remember this is the guy who KILLED WCW. This is the lowest drawing champion of all time. This is a guy who held everyone he could back in WCW. Are you HONESTLY expecting me to not be happy about this. GOOD FUCKING RIDDENCE TO BAD RUBBISH. Goodbye Kevin Nash, Hello open spot for someone who is under 40. Angle is Wrestling, YOU ARE FUNNY, therefore you rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted July 9, 2002 Why would anyone blame Booker? He was just lying there. What would you have him done? Leap up and catch Nash? It's no one's fault. It's just a freak accident that I find funny because of the circumstances, NOT because he got injured. If it was reversed and Booker tripped over Nash and hurt himself in his first match back from an injury , I would still find it funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Spaceman Spiff Report post Posted July 9, 2002 For the 36th time...We're not laughing at the Injury (well...Some are) but merely the circmanstances and Irony behind it all. I don't know about that. The majority of the people I've seen on here are laughing *bacause* it was Nash getting hurt, plain & simple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 9, 2002 As I said in my video thread, it's all about the timing. Nash lasted 9 seconds by my clock. That's as long as Bob Backlund lasted in his championship squash match with Diesel. That's enough to make me laugh. But not joke about it on an internet board. What makes me stoop to that level? A number of things: This is the same Nash that killed my interest in WCW in 98-99 by pushing himself into everything. This is the same Nash who looked out for his buddy X-Pac's career by pressuring Creative into changing match outcomes (as if the shows weren't shitty enough already?) This is the guy who convinced WCW to do the Arn Anderson impersonation (go see Keith's latest Mailbag if you don't know about that.) And, oh yeah, he's worn down to the point that the only difference he makes in being an "active wrestler" is raaaaaaaaaaaaaaising up that big leg oh-so-slowly and making that picture frame guesture with his hands. This is almost like a sign from fate telling him, "get with the times and find something new to do." In short, I feel sad, but I'm playing my tiniest violin, if you get the point. EDIT: And I want to stress one of those points again. The Anderson one. Arn had to retire out of concern for his own well being. Nash took that last moment and pissed on it with his goofy "average carpeting skills" promo, and so now I'm supposed to be boo hooing and wah wahing? Naw, payback's a bitch, I'm afraid.

Guest humongous2002 Report post Posted July 9, 2002 Big Daddy Bitch hasn't done anything meaningful since 1997(and I'm being nice here), the bastard was limping even b4 he got in the ring. He's been in the WWE for 6 months already and he has only done 4 matches in total.The man is lazy and the WWE is going to give him more welfare checks for doing nothing. Now he is saying that he wasnt ready even though he was suppose to do a match in a house show this coming weekend, he is nothing but a lazy motherf***er and should just go to the unemployment line(NWA) with his teabagging buddy Scotch Hall.

Guest Incandenza Report post Posted July 9, 2002 I hope no one confuses me with those people who find the injury itself funny. It really is the circumstances surrounding it that are hilarious, not the actual moment itself. To use a movie as an example, it's sorta like in Pulp Fiction **SPOILER AHEAD** where Marvin gets his head blown off by Vincent. Marvin's death is not what is funny, but Vincent and Jules' reaction to it. There's a world of difference. Now, as to why Nash's injury is not funny but the circumstances surrounding it is I do not need to go into, as others have already done it. But, regardless, there is humor in this situation.

Having once participated in an online film forum, I know that, regardless of how old the film is, regardless of how many people have seen it, there will ALWAYS be someone who will get all pissy if you don't throw in a spoiler warning before revealing a plot detail.

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted July 9, 2002 I don't know if anyone else has said this or not, (This is the first Tread today and I'm not about to go read 27 pages of the RAW Tread) You know what would be funny? If Nash faked it to get more time off and get paid, (makes ya think like he had it planned the way he slapped his leg when he first came into the ring) and the Doctors down in Alabama laugh at him and send him home. I wouldn't be shocked if we hear in the Ross Report this week that Nash doesn't need surgery and just needs to rehab it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big McLargeHuge Report post Posted July 9, 2002 What the fuck is up with the sudden sprout of Nash sympathy? It's like you guys are going against the grain for the sake of doing so. For the umpteenth time the MAJORITY of us who find the situation humorous, are laughing at the situation. When HHH got injured last year, I didn't laugh. And I hated him back then when he was a 'God'. When Nash got injured, I didn't laugh immediately. Rather when I realized that this was his first match back and he was in the ring for 10 seconds was when the sheer irony of it all set in. And some of you are completely contradicting yourselves by calling us assholes for laughing at Nash, while wishing injury upon RVD or Angle or Benoit. So to that, I say FUCK YOU.

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted July 9, 2002 I for one, would have liked to see him exit the ring/his career on his own terms and not due to an injury, but honestly, I can't say I am sad that he won't be on TV "wrestling" anytime soon. Yah, it sucks for him that he blew out his knee, but that stuff just happens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Human Fly Report post Posted July 9, 2002 Here's something I was thinking of and I don't know if it's been brought up yet. Nash tears his bicep, has surgery and comes back. 10 seconds into his first match he tears his quad. That's two MAJOR muscle tears in around 3 - 4 minutes of collective ring time. This might be a sign pointing to something else and it's not that Nash is old and sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 9, 2002 Do I find Injury funny? Never. Unless it comes from someone of the likes of Osama Bin Laden, not a 7' WRESTLER whom only played business because unlike Chris Beniot, he was thinking about his future. Nash can get injured but he made himself enough money that he can retire confortably like Mick Foley and not like Bret Hart with a Concussion and sufferer of strokes or A cripple like Dynamite Kid...Chris Beniot can follow their footsteps right into his own wheelchair. Nash's injury was a freak accident and that's all. No Karma was looking for his ass or anything. Circmanstances made this funny at first but then realize how he his a Father and he will spend the rest of his Summer on crutches unable to play Toss or anything like that with his son. Smarks don't think about that stuff, all they care about is Workrate and Scott Keith's thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, boo-hoo. Nash will get better in due time, and, while he's getting better, he'll have a lot of money to go with it.

Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted July 9, 2002 AWW...his career could be over.... let's all feel for the big guy... Wait, no....FUCK THAT. FUCK HIS BACKSTAGE POLITICS, FUCK HIS SHITTY WRESTLING, FUCK HIS LITTLE "SHOOT" COMMENTS WITH HIS CLIQUE BUTT BUDDIES, FUCK HIM AND HIS VANILLA MIDGIT COMMENTS, FUCK HIS STASH OF PANTENE PRO-V IN THE LOCKER ROOM...AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, FUCK HIM. Nash's career is over and I for one am glad as all hell. While I don't want to see an injury like that happen to anyone, it couldn't have happened to a bigger piece of shit. And if it means the end of Nash hobbling around the ring, and the end of the nWo, and the end of the bullshit politics, and the wrestlers that deserve to get pushed finally getting pushed..THEN HELL YEAH I'M ALL FOR IT!!
