Jebus 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 It looks like it's full speed ahead for a HHH vs. Benoit feud but, since I heard Backlash was in Edmonton, let's just say I'm not looking forward to their WM XX match as I once did because I want him to win the title AT WRESTLEMANIA!!! Yes, he will most likely get the title at Backlash and I should be happy but still...it's Wrestlemania! Benoit successfully defending his newly won World title in his hometown is just as good IMO.

I'll be very happy if Benoit doesn't go to the shitty show that is RAW and it all blows up in the "hot newz!" posting faces of all the Benoit to RAW marks on here. A-Train to RAW! Shannon Moore to HeAT! Let's start a billion threads! Yayyyy..... YALL A BUNCH OF QUEEFS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamoaRowe 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 How about this.... Chris Benoit upsets Triple H for his title at Wrestlemania and then HHH embarasses Benoit in his own hometown and takes the title back? That sounds more like something the WWE would do. Or Benoit defeats Triple H by DQ at 'Mania and then loses to HHH at Backlash Needless to say, I'm not feeling very optimistic about this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) Even the WWE cannot be stupid enough to take their top face from Smackdown and turn him into a RAW jobber. No way does Benoit come to RAW and not win the World title. They cannot be that stupid, I refuse to believe the WWE is THAT stupid. Racist? Sure. Sexist? No problem. Stupid? yes ok. Mind numbing stupid? Even I won't go that far. Edited January 21, 2004 by 2GOLD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wildpegasus Report post Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) I love the fact there are so many threads about Benoit here. It just goes to show how passionate his fans are. The WWE's got to be careful here. They've already had Benoit lose to Austin in Edmonton. They've also had him turn heel there and also lose to Lesnar at a house show in a title match. It's true that Benoit beat Jericho and Rhyno at Edmonton but they were actually under Benoit's status level in the company at the time. The people from Edmonton are more likely to remember this than fans from other places so if the WWE has any sense of logical reasoning the WWE has to have Benoit be succusseful at Edmonton in what I guess'll be a rematch with HHH from Mania. Otherwise, they risk the fans from both Edmonton and everywhere else saying screw this out of frustration of never giving them what they want to see. Will Benoit win? I'm not too sure. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. That pop Benoit's going to get in Edmonton is going to be the pop that end all pops.

Slingshot Suplex 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 Or Benoit defeats Triple H by DQ at 'Mania and then loses to HHH at Backlash Needless to say, I'm not feeling very optimistic about this. THIS is what I expect. HHH gets himself blatantly intentionally DQ'd at Wrestlemania....so blatant that Benoit gets a rematch in his hometown in some sort of stip match.Probably a no dq or if HHH gets dq'd, the title will change hands. And then ' Let the pedigrees flow' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 Well, I doubt Vince will do the right thing. Lord forbid Benoit win the title at Mania, and have a succeesful defense a month later against HHH. I'd like to see him win the belt and move onto someone else. But all they do now is have Hunter lose the belt (after a long reign) and then get it right back. No chance for anyone else to even get a shot. If it weren't for Jericho I honestly don't think I'd watch Raw anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute.

I had Benoit pegged to job clean to Orton at Summerslam in Toronto (they can use the Bret Hart rule where everywhere in Canada is a Canadian wrestler's hometown), i figure a 1 month feud won't be long enough for HHH to prove his superiority over the dirty Canadian.

Not only would they do that but they would also more than likely reenact the entire Montreal Screwjob on Chris at the Backlash PPV in such a blatant manner as to make you wonder if the WWE purposely wants to allienate the entire Canadian fanbase to such a point that they no longer give a fuck about the company....

Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted January 22, 2004 Let's face it: If it wasn't clear now, Vince has put it out there for all of us to see: HE HATES US. I wouldn't put it past him to deliberately book things just to screw with us. Like, say...aborting an ongoing Lesnar vs. Benoit storyline which would have ended with Benoit winning the WWE Title, moving Benoit to Raw where he'll obviously be buried by Triple H, all because Benoit is the darling of the internet wrestling fanbase? -Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
