Kurt Angle Mark Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 By Mike Johnson of pwinsider.com Chris Benoit fans will be happy to know that WWE is releasing a Chris Benoit DVD title on 7/19. Here's to hoping they including the Owen Hart tribute bout he worked against Bret Hart in WCW.
CanadianChick Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Thank god. My dream DVD, coming into fruitation.
Lightning Flik Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 WOOO!!! SO MINE!!!! MINE MINE MINE MINE!!! ...did I mention this DVD will be mine? Seriously, I hope it is a pretty good DVD compilation. I want the best of 7 with Booker T and Benoit, I want RR03, and I so want his title match from WMXX. It has anything less than those 10 matches, and I'll be one unhappy Benoit fan. There's other matches, but I want those on most of all. Since I don't own anything with those matches on them.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Hmm...now here's the question that I'm wondering about... Will they include Benoit's WCW Championship win onto the DVD or no?
Lightning Flik Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Hmm...now here's the question that I'm wondering about... Will they include Benoit's WCW Championship win onto the DVD or no? No. Unless they tell of him getting screwed out of the WCW title, then move into his match against Triple H and Michaels. Edit: Just to say "we never screwed him"... I know it isn't true, per se, but at least they can say they did.
Austin3164life Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I'll definitely order this one. About GOD DAMN time.
haVoc Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 About fuckin' time! His matches with Bret, at least the tribute to Owen, better be on the thing.
Zack Malibu Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 This was on a list from Sony that we got at work. Hopefully I can find out some specs soon. I'm looking forward to this bigtime. They should put his match with Scorpio from a '93 Clash (January, I think) on their, I remember it being a very good match for two (at the time) relative unknowns. They NEED to show the Radicals debut on their as well.
BUTT Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I wouldn't be surprised to see his WCW title win. They showed on Excess back in 2001.
Zetterberg is God Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 July can't come fast enough. The best of seven should be there, as well as the Owen tribute match. I'd also like to see one falls count anywhere match against Kevin Sullivan on there.
ANKLELOCK Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 BENOIT!!! BENOIT!!! BENOIT!!! BENOIT!!! It MUST have the tribute match on there.
snuffbox Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Some ECW/Japan footage stories vs. Bret(Owen match) Vs. BookerT (best of 7 highlights, maybe one full match) vs. Sullivan(great american bash) Being held down in WCW Radicalz arrive in WWF vs. Angle vs. Jericho a tag match Royal Rumble 04 WrestlemaniaXX Im thinking these will be included...
CanadianChick Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I'm not understanding the Best of Seven love. Sure, it was a good series, but Benoit has certainly had better. I could see on a Booker T DVD, because those were arguably his best matches of his career. But a Benoit DVD? I dunno, it just doesn't seem to cut it for me.

I could see on a Booker T DVD, because those were arguably his best matches of his career. But a Benoit DVD? I dunno, it just doesn't seem to cut it for me. I missed the whole of 7 series. I don't know HOW, but I did. I've never seen a single one. Only reason why I want them on there. So I can see them.
Jobber of the Week Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I wouldn't mind 3 of them on a Benoit DVD and the other 4 on a Booker T DVD.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 One match from the Best of 7 is on the Monday Night War DVD. Just in case some of you didn't know that.
snuffbox Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I dont think there will be more than one full BookerT match on this dvd....prolly some highlight package and one match.
Guest Krazy Karter Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I wouldn't mind 3 of them on a Benoit DVD and the other 4 on a Booker T DVD. Wasn't one of the Best Of Seven matches at a house show?
Guest deadbeater Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 The only problem is which matches to include: The matches in Japan when he was the Pegasus Kid? Will the WCW matches include the Kevin Sullivan match in which he finally got Woman (and Jacqueline!) on his side? Or his Wrestlemania match or Royal Rumble match against Kurt Angle? Man they have so many to choose.

Guest Frank_Nabbit Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 There were 8 matches in the best of 7 series, correct?
Beast Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Hey, as long as there is a good amount of footage and matches on it, I'll be happy. When I saw the news, my jaw dropped. So happy.
Lightning Flik Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 There were 8 matches in the best of 7 series, correct? Yes. There was actually 8 because one of them ended in DQ.

Wasn't one of the Best Of Seven matches at a house show? I never cared about WCW until after they went kaput (although I only became a mark in 99 so it's not like I was missing anything by only watching Raw) so perhaps it did. In that case, 3 and 3, or even 3 and 2 if the DQ one sucked?
IWD Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 There will be very few people on this board who don't get a copy of this - that much is for certain. Some of the matches I'd like to see on it... vs Dynamite Kid (Stampede) vs Jushin Liger (IWGP Jr title win, 1990) vs Great Sasuke (Super J Cup, 1994) w/ Dean Malenko vs Sabu & Taz (ECW, 1995) vs Kevin Sullivan (any) vs Booker T (Best of 7 series, any) w/ Dean Malenko vs Perry Saturn & Raven (Spring Stampede 99) vs Bret Hart (Owen tribute) vs Triple H (WWF debut) vs Chris Jericho (2/3 falls, SummerSlam 2000) vs Chris Jericho (ladder match, Royal Rumble 2001) vs Kurt Angle (ultimate submission match, Backlash 2001) w/ Chris Jericho vs Steve Austin & Triple H (Raw) w/ Chris Jericho vs Edge & Christian, Dudleyz & Hardyz (TLC, Smackdown) w/ Kurt Angle vs Edge & Rey Mysterio (No Mercy 2002) vs Kurt Angle (Royal Rumble 2003) vs Eddie Guerrero (Vengeance 2003) vs Triple H & Shawn Michaels (WrestleMania XX)

ChrisMWaters Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Andy: You wouldn't want to see the 04 Rumble on it?
Sandman9000 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I doubt they'll have any of his Japanese footage. And they'll need to put him breaking Sabu's neck, just for the whole Crippler thing.
bobobrazil1984 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 eh, i think they should have waited till he had a few good main event matches over the next few months under his belt. but cool i guess.
Guest wildpegasus Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 So is it gonna be one DVD or a whole set? I wonder if they'll show the Benoit/Owen Hart tryout match from 94 -95ish. Personally, I'm hoping for some really rare matches because I already have most of his matches right now.
