Chris Benoit unhappy about jumping to Raw

[Guest reshad974]

I talked to my "insider source" once again. You all know who he is by now.

I do know that a lot of people don't believe me even though I was right on many occasion but some does. So for them, here is some information regarding Chris Benoit :

 

- he was rather unhappy about moving to Raw because he'd rather face Lesnar at WM XX with whom he is sure to have a great match. He thinks that his jump to Raw came out of nowhere from a storyline standpoint. The good point is that he can wrestle guys he has never wrestled before and travel with his good buddy Chris Jericho.

 

- he doesn't want HBK to be part of his match against Triple H because he thinks it's his time to be in a high-profile programm and doesn't want anyone to overshadow him. However, he would like wrestling HBK before or after WM.

 

- he'd rather loose a great wrestling match that winning a bad one so beating TripleH at WM XX is not his main concern.

 

- he has some concerns about Vince wanting to do a Montreal finish at Backlash in Edmonton. He doesn't mind loosing in his hometown as long as he is not humiliated in front of his family and friends.

[Guest KJ Brackish]

Exactly what I said about the HHH - Benoit thread..... I'm worried that Vince will pull a Montreal in Benoit's hometown. As much as I don't like Benoit, I think we all would agree that he doesn't deserve that. If they decide to take the belt off of him, do it in a creative, non character-destructing way. I'm not too sure about your "SOURCES" , but if I were him, I'd have the same exact feelings.

When does the "Montreal finish" get old?

[Highland 0]

Is Benoit at any risk of jumping to TNA or somewhere else? I can't see Vince doing a Montreal finish unless that is the reason.

Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, Vince could not risk having his world title appear on Nitro and was probably worried about a repeat of the Alundra Blaze fiasco (tossing the title in the trash). I'm not saying Bret would have done such a thing, but if an angle like that had appeared on Nitro, the results for Vince would have been devastating.

1997.

Bullshit.

If, and this is a huge IF, Chris Benoit wins the title at WrestleMania XX I see them indeed going for the "Montreal finish". However, instead of the plan going through, I could very well see Bret Hart coming out to prevent it from happening. I would almost rather the guy not be at WM and have this to happen. After the match he celebrates with Benoit, and everyone in the crowd goes absolutely ape shit.

 

Add in Bret punking out HBK or Vince, or even Hebner, and you have the makings for the #1 moment of 2004.

Um, I think he was talking about from a storyline standpoint.. not an actual screwjob in Edmonton.

Insider source my ass...

"No! He took away our title which looks like the WCW title but with 1 1/2 years of history behind it! However will we make it back up?!!!??!" - Vince McMahon after Benoit takes the title to TNA.

Is that proposition?

Dude, your sources fucking suck.

No kidding. Hey, can you find out whether RVD is unhappy with his push too?

Let me clear this up because I see this brought up a lot. It was IMPOSSABLE !!!!!!!! for Bret to show up on Nitro with the belt. This is just an excuse used by the WWE to make them not look as bad and have people side with them.

What push?

The champs travel with the belt and he was still champ. Sure they might have asked him for it before he actually lost the belt but if they were smart enough to think that far in advance he wouldn't have been champ so close to his departure.

You know what, I'm not going to disagree with him anymore since his "source" has been dead on lately.

 

I'm finding him a lot more reliable than Bob or Dave by this point.

 

If he's wrong, he's wrong. But he's been right enough that I have no problem buying that in a sense it's true to word.

Classic.

[Guest Dynamite Kido]

I'm claiming donkey balls on this one.

[Guest hunger4unger]

I don't see any problems with a worked screw job finish ala Montreal as long as it's a great match. Benoit isn't going over unless he pins HBK (don't kid yourself for one second that HHH will lie down). With it being in Benoit's hometown and (most likely) billed as his first big opportunity at "the big one", those involved in the screwjob should get a ton of heat. WWE will also get some mileage out of the feud with a re-match or two.

Forget the exact details but it has to do with legal stuff.

[Guest hunger4unger]

The belt was at ringside during the Montreal Match so technically it could have been taken away from Bret at any given time. There again, WCW could have had a replica made and done the angle anyway.

You know, you'd think that if WCW couldn't legally show a WWF Championship belt on their shows, then 1. The J-Crown belt would never have been on WCW TV, and 2. Madeusa would've never thrown the WWF Women's title in the trash on WCW TV.

 

Outside of physically taking the belt away from Bret, how was it impossible for him to have it on WCW TV?

Gee, I wonder why no one believes you? Anyone here on these fucking forums could throw some shit at the wall, and eventually some of it will stick.

 

I predict Rob Conway will win gold. Just because he wins a title somewhere down the line doesn't mean that my credibility goes up.

Trust me on this. I wish my memory was better so I could remember details but there was NO way Bret could take the belt to Nitro. Meltzer talked about it before I think so you might be able to find something on the web. And Vince was reported to know this.

Yeah, but what about when ALL of it sticks? Even before it's reported anywhere?

Well, he was under contract until November 30th and the Montreal match was on the 7th. The belt itself wasn't in any immediate danger.
