Guest TheCynicalHateMongerFromHell Report post Posted February 14, 2003 I want him to be injured so Eddie could get his push. Benoit's pushes are all the same, and they always amount to nothing. The fans could care less about the guy. Rather, its his opponants that draw the heat. On the other hand, Eddie is always over and the fans always react to him. Why can't he just get a substantial push? Booo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fans hate Angle, and he almost defeated him. It was an absolutely great match, and the fans gave him credit for it. But that didn't parlay into anything, thus my feeling the crowd was just hating Angle so much they were cheering for Benoit. Benoit is back to square 1, no one cares.

They didn't JUST cheer him for almost beating Kurt. They gave him a Standing O after Angle had left ringside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fair enough, but has any other city cheered him like that since? Has any city cheered for Benoit like that since he was in Edmonton last May? No. He simply isn't over enough. Everywhere else the fans are indifferent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheCynicalHateMongerFromHell Report post Posted February 14, 2003 I've heard a lot of pro-Benoit chants over the last few months. Really? You must have been intensly concenttrating on the chants during his matches, because all I've seen he has been getting a mild reaction as best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mik at Cornell Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Well...Shit...I was hoping it was serious...So I could laugh at TSM crying like he died or something. I thought the same thing. I don't wish injury on any man but the pussy ass crying reactions on this board would have been worth a few good laughs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Yah and also I'd say Benoit pushed that button to begin with by assuming the role, of "dissapointed in the hard tough fought loss" which segways into trying to get up in the ring being bashed and bruised. I mean what were the fans supposed to do, just sit there? I am sure if he would have left the ring as soon as the camera cut away, then the fans would not have cared or cheered as much, it SUCKS, but I think it is a reasonable observation of the typical WWE mark.

No. He simply isn't over enough. Everywhere else the fans are indifferent. If you don't think Benoit has become more over since his standing ovation, than Austin having fans chanting his name at WM XIII was pointless. When fans get up and give you a loud ovation like that, it means that you earned a huge amount of respect for putting on a hell of a performance, and you are remembered for it. So, thus, you are revered wherever else you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Must...fight...urge...to...ban. Who you talking about Brian?? I think over the summer they could really do a 3-way feud between Brock, Benoit and Angle that could lead to Benoit getting the belt at Summerslam. They keep mentioning Benoit's desire to win the title so when he does win it- it MEANS something. Wishing injury on another guy just because you would get joy over people on a message board being upset is a pretty stupid thing to say Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Olympic Slam Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Benoit is way over. The crowd went batshit when he made Albert tap on Smackdown. No canned heat needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Canned heat it was. I was there live at Smackdown. Rikishi got around the same amount of heat Benoit did, which pissed me off. And guy, no matter how much you love Eddie Guerrero, wishing injury on ANYONE, even Kevin Nash or HHH (well maybe a couple exceptions could be made) is pretty downright disgusting. I think they're all doing a good job of where each wrestler should be at this point, no complaints. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest evilhomer Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Must...fight...urge...to...ban. I'm guessing that's a joke comment directed at CynicalHateMonger for daring to speak poorly of the TSM god.
