Guest Human Fly Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Bret hart and shawn micheals are only just over 6 feet, and their the greatest drawing champions ever Hogan who was well over 6 feet and Austin drew better then Michaels and Hart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest benoitrules2000 Report post Posted October 10, 2002 True, but bret and shawn carried the company on their backs during their the down periods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Let's face it. Size DOES matter. Big guys just naturally get attention - they inspire awe (yes, Eddie CAN inspire awe with his wrestling - but that takes much more time and effort) and are more marketable and believable as wrestlers. So I think we all know the answer. Get rid of the big guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted October 10, 2002 It just depends how their marketed. Vince is a genius isn't he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest benoitrules2000 Report post Posted October 10, 2002 What is Austin, 6'3"? Exactly, Benoit's what 5'11? What the fuck is 4 inches got to do with whether your worthy of being pushed to championship status? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Maybe Benoit has a bigger penis than Trips? Oh wait, Trps doesn't change in that locker room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest benoitrules2000 Report post Posted October 10, 2002 I think smackdown is going in the right direction sans the big undertaker angle. Their putting out a more wrestling-oriented product which over a period of time will acclimatize fans(especially marks) to this new direction. And of course, more importantly when they've accepted this new direction they will finally recognize the godness of angle, benoit and guerrero hopefully. Look at the crowd reaction to these men the past month or so. Angle/benoit at unforgiven, guerrero's matches with edge. Guerrero got a standing ovation for fuck's sake and your telling me they can't draw given the chance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 10, 2002 AS: There are far worse guys that could be picked as the future of the WWE. Well, sure there could be worse people as the future of the WWF. Vince could have come to me and said "Hey Matt, you're a loyal fan, do YOU want to be the future of the WWF?" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Benoits been on the juice since at least 94 - I think he has HHH beat... but that doesn't make him any less of a man - because he has a real woman at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest benoitrules2000 Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Well, if he's such a roided up bastard how come he isn't main-eventing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Difference between Triple H and Benoit...steroids slowed Trips the fuck down, I'm not so sure about Benoit. He wasn't busting out SSPs every night back in '93, was he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zero_Cool Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Actually, how do we know that Benoit has been on roids for nearly a decade? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Harry Hood Report post Posted October 10, 2002 wow as, that really made me laugh which deosn't happen much on boards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest benoitrules2000 Report post Posted October 10, 2002 If he's been on them for a decade, he'd be fucking useless by now! Look at the decline of scott stiener from early - late nineties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted October 10, 2002 I think Benoit does a reasonably good job cycling on them, but when he came back he looked as lean as ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest benoitrules2000 Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Well I personally don't believe it, but if he busts out matches like he did at unforgiven, I really don't give a fuck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Well... I meant Benoit has the real woman at home... You know... Woman... Yeah.. Just watch Jcup 94 and NJ's Super Jr Tag League 94... BIG difference in Benoit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest godthedog Report post Posted October 10, 2002 I guess i was blinded by my benoit-worship but as i said: **** matches=Roids? What roids? huh? this makes no sense whatsoever. bret put on ****+ matches when he was juicing. back to the subject: in terms of total package-ness, i actually see eddie main eventing sooner than benoit. he takes the time to get the fans directly involved in the match, and knows the dynamics of a feud better. if the bookers & writers could saddle him with a more bankable character/gimmick, he could make a very credible & enjoyable champion, though not somebody to really build the company around.

Guest ShooterJay Report post Posted October 10, 2002 The fact that Benoit has used roids is well known, however, I think I read somewhere that he stopped using them a couple of years ago, but I can't give you a source, just something I remember vaguely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RickyChosyu Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Abusing steriods and moderately using steriods are two different things. Benoit isn't so blind in his Dynamite Kid worship that he actually wants to end up like him. Benoit has, for sure, been on steroids for quite some time, just like most American wrestlers. Pick up the first two J-Cups - the difference between Benoit in '94 and Benoit in '95 is scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Brian Report post Posted October 10, 2002 I think Benoit does a really good job of cycling and doing cardio to keep in shape as well as in his early days, getting the opportunity to work as often in longer matches. Right now, he's in better shape without asm uch roids IMO. He's lean but he's still looks jacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I meant as long as he's putting on **** matches, I really don't care whether he's roiding up or not. Just don't let it mess with the workrate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
