Chris Benoit has wrestled Kane before in a televised match. They had two televised matches against each other (both on Raw) leading up to Unforgiven 2000.

 

Raw (9/4/00) - Kane beat Chris Benoit by DQ when Benoit hit Kane with a steel chair.

 

Raw (9/18/00) - Kane beat Chris Benoit by DQ when Benoit hit Kane with the ring bell.

Throwing one more in there...

 

WWF @ Chicago, IL - AllState Arena - June 13, 2000

Smackdown!:

Kane defeated WWF IC Champion Chris Benoit via disqualification in a non-title match at 3:29 after the champion used the title belt as a weapon

 

Check out the date. 4 years to the day before Bad Blood.

Even spookier....in a few days, it will be 6 years ago that Kane won the World Title at King of the Ring. SIX YEARS

 

 

And the Meltzer/Ladder jokes are him having a hard on saying every PPV Main Event will have Ladder Stipulations, so he can just say ***** rating for the hell of it.

That is fucking crazy.

 

 

How did Chris Jericho turn heel in late 2001?

The turn was teased earlier when Rock won the title back from Jericho in October and Jericho smacked him down with a chair I think.

WWE probably realized how green he is, and have him working dark matches now (as a heel it seems).

 

Which means we get either the classic Chris Benoit vs. John Heidenreich, or Eddie Guerrero vs. John Heidenreich, depending on where he relocates.

Remember the Bounty on Goldberg?

 

Well, Batistia collected the bounty but they never did say what he did with the money...

 

I dont know if they just forgot about it or wanted us to ponder what it was he brought.

 

I wasn't sure if he ever hinted at it or not...

 

seems to me he used that money to get those pimp ass suits.

Yeah, it was probably conveniently forgotten, especially since he's gone and all.

Maybe HHH kept the money since Batista is his stablemate.

Was Hogan fired, did he quit or was he just kept off TV for some reason after his loss to Brock Lesnar?

He finished up all his commitments, and some extra shows as well that wasn't part of his deal.

 

He was suppose to return for Survivor Series to job to Brock again, but he felt he should've gotten the win back first before losing again, thus pushing his return back 2 more months.

And Hogan should of won the second match, in fact he should of won the first match as well. Hogan loosing to Lesnar was a huge injustice. Stupid Brock Lesnar.

What was the music used in the highlights package at the end of WM19 and at the start of the Bret Hart Vs. Shawn Michaels Ironman match highlights for the Top Ten WM matches program? It was a lovely orchestral piece and I'm just wondering if it was commissioned by the WWE or if it's available to downlo... buy somewhere?

Well, you can always get the WM's Ten Greatest matches from somewhere. If you own the WMXX DVD, it's an extra on there.

 

Just type some of the lyrics into google and you'll get the artist and song name.

I think he was just jealous of Benoit.

Benoit had also beaten him in the 1st round of the US title tournament and in the Number 1 Contender Tournament before Backlash so Rhyno was probably angry that he couldn't beat Benoit.
