Benoit vs. Rob Conway. YAY!

 

Now residing in Manitoba? The fuck?

 

Um....you mean Atlanta.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Nice to see they've updated that topical heel tag team to being evil French-Canadian instead of just French.

 

Johnny Nitro mofos!!

 

BTW is it just me, or are they making Benoit from Atlanta now just so they think there WON'T be a riot when Benoit drops the belt at the PPV?

HOLY CRAP~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Johnny Nitro has the Nitro theme..how interesting..

[Guest Choken One]

Benoit curtain jerking?

 

BULLCRAP!

Clearly you aren't aware that the NCAA Title Game starts at 9:20...Thus putting the WORLD champion in the same slot is actually a good idea.

It's Johnny Blaze-Spade-Nitro!!!

Since when do REFS get theme songs?

[Placebo Effect 0]

Nitro music! YES!!

[Downhome 0]

Johnny Nitro has the Nitro theme..how interesting..

That just made my night.

[Guest Choken One]

Nitro gets mic time but Benoit just shakes his head as he walks in...grand.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Wow...Vince didn't destroy every file of music from WCW Nitro?

[Papacita 0]

I love how they fail to even acknowledge the Nitro theme there.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

That's the kid from Tough Enough, ain't it ?

Benoit vs. Rob Conway. YAY!

 

Now residing in Manitoba? The fuck?

 

Um....you mean Atlanta.

It sounded like Manitoba, goddamnit.

 

...

 

Yeah, they probably said Atlanta.

 

Manitoba sucks ass.

 

So does Atlanta.

 

So does Edmonton.

 

...

 

NO NAME CHANGE FOR NITRO?

[Anakin Flair 0]

Why is Benoit in a mini-program with Johny-come-lately?

 

Hell, why is the World Heavyweight Champion curtain jerking?

[Guest Choken One]

Is this the first time he kept the same name for two weeks straight?

 

Are they Building to a senseless Nitro/Benoit match next week?

[razazteca 0]

The fans are chanting USA.........so they are cheering for the ref?

[Mrnoitaull 0]

"Allow me to introduce myself , My Name is JOHN N-to-tha-Itro" Ha .. I'm corny

[Guest Choken One]

Why is Benoit in a mini-program with Johny-come-lately?

 

Hell, why is the World Heavyweight Champion curtain jerking?

because they need to elevate Shelton

 

and to combat the start of the basketball game.

[Anakin Flair 0]

Raw has a news-ticker? WTF?

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Did J.R say Benoit has a DICK stacked against him?!

 

And why is the crowd chanting U.S.A. to Conway? (Benoit is Canadian remember)

[Guest Choken One]

The fans are chanting USA.........so they are cheering for the ref?

silly!

 

Benoit's from ATLANTA!

[Anakin Flair 0]

nice double-team

[Downhome 0]

That was a fantastic double team move. I've never seen that before.

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

that double team was pretty spiffy looking

[razazteca 0]

I love that move! Viva La double team move!

 

This match feels like a Superstars or Challenge show from the early 90s.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

I kinda like that double team maneuver.

 

Interesting ref bump. Never seen it off a snap suplex before.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Benoit in the first match of the night against fucking Rob Conway being Bischoff/Johnny Nitro's bitch... while HHH is in the main event.

 

And I'm sick of JR calling Benoit's Germans a "belly to back German release suplex"... it's a fucking German and he can't land them right because of the WWE's rules against dropping people on their heads.

 

I'm calling the Dusty DQ finish when Nitro wakes up too.

[Karc 0]

Did Benoit really just move to Atlanta, or are they just saying that?

I think the only reason they are saying that is to completely dissolve any Canada screwjob rumors, home country support, and to completely downplay Benoit.

 

I don't blame the move with him being on this early. Any other night, though, I would be supporting the "they are killing Benoit" theory.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

I never thought there was such a thing as a cocky count...

 

 

...until JOHNNY NITRO~
