Guest OnlyMe Report post Posted February 10, 2004 TSN has put an audio clip featuring Booker T talking about how he would love to face Chris Benoit for the World Title at Backlash in Edmonton. This could be an indication that Benoit will win the World Title at WrestleMania XX. Credit: TSN.ca/wrestling This sounds like they are talking it up a bit - that Booker T just said it would be a match he'd like to have or something. But as potential matches go, it's not bad.

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 best hint is when they leak out pics of Publicity shots of wrestlers holding the World title.... they keep saying they just do that and its not related, but when Undertaker did it in 99 he got the belt back... and others also got as lucky... so look for reports of Benoit having pics made with the belt.

Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted February 10, 2004 Well in that case Triple H is going to win, they showed an add for a local show after Mania advertising him as Champ last night, somewhat hilariously after his promo with Benoit and HBK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh, that's nothing special. It's subject to change. I remember back in late 1994, a tag team title match between HBK and Diesel against Bret Hart (then WWF Champion) and British Bulldog was planned for after Survivor Series...but later cancelled.

haVoc 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 Yeah, because Booker T, of all people, would know who would be winning at Mania. This is just Booker guessing Benoit will win and Booker saying he would like a match against him. Then people read it the wrong way and run with the story.

Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 Now that they're moving in the direction they are going in (Benoit vs. HHH with Shawn as the Wild-card tweener), a logical main event at Backlash would be Benoit vs. Shawn (w/possible appearance by Bret). The match would be good and would have a lot of heat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silence 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 I don't think Booker T and Benoit would match up too well now. The last time I saw them wrestle each other was on Raw in 2002, and it just didn't compare to their "Best of 7" WCW matches when Booker T wasn't injury prone back then.

There is a better chance of Carmen Electra returning my phone calls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
