If the Smarks could choose the matches

[Guest Trivia247]

As the Topic states what would be your picks to be on the DVD?

 

as sorta a guideline.

 

How about breaking it down to commentary background info and then the matches.

 

Matches are divided up thusly

 

5 Japanese

 

5 WCW

 

3 ECW

 

10 WWF/WWE (since it is a WWE sponsored DVD)

[Guest Trivia247]

So you mean to tell me no one got matches in mind?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

From what the WWE currently owns (ECW, SMW and WCW footage)

 

Disc 1- Stampede Wrestling, ECW and Early WCW

 

Chris Benoit and Beef Wellington vs The Singh Bros (Stampede)

Chris Benoit vs Al Snow, ECW Double Tables

Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko vs Sabu and Tazz, ECW Tag Team Championships

Chris Benoit vs Jushin 'Thunder' Lyger, Starrcade 95

Chris Benoit vs Dean Malenko, Hog Wild 96

 

 

Disc 2- The Horseman Emerges and Departure to the WWE

 

Chris Benoit vs Raven, Soul'd Out 98

Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko vs Raven and Perry Saturn, Spring Stampede 99

Chris Benoit vs Bret Hart, Owen Hart Tribute

Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn, HHH and X-Pac vs Cactus Jack, The Rock, Rikishi and 2 Cool, RAW

Chris Benoit vs Steve Austin, Smackdown in Edmonton

Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle, Royal Rumble 2003

 

I'll have to put some more thought into a list if we're including NJPW.

[TheOriginalOrangeGoblin 0]

"Chris Benoit vs Jushin 'Thunder' Lyger, Starrcade 94" WTF?!

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Never seen it?

 

Poor Goblin.

 

It also has Eddy Guerrero vs Shinjiro Ohtani on it, which kicks all sorts of ass.

 

EDIT: It was 95, not 94.

[ISportsFan 0]

That's a heckuva lot of matches. I'll make it more realistic and basically chop everything in half (3 Japan, 3 WCW, 2 ECW, 5 WWE), although I'd love for there to actually be that many matches on the DVD. Of course, this is assuming they can get the footage from Japan since J.R. called Japan's wrestling pond water-sucking lately. This is also assuming Bret Hart's DVD comes out this year, and that the Benoit/Hart match from Kansas City is on that one.

 

Japan

Sasuke/Black Tiger vs Pegasus Kid/Ohtani (Junior Tag League finals, 1994)

Benoit v. Great Sasuke (J Cup 1994)

Benoit v. El Samurai (Top of the Super Juniors IV, 1993)

 

ECW

Benoit v. Al Snow (Feb 1995, Double Tables)

Sabu/Taz v. Benoit/Malenko (Feb 1995, Return of the Funker)

 

WCW

Benoit v. Kevin Sullivan (GAB 1996)

Benoit v. Raven (Souled Out 1998)

Benoit/Malenko v. Raven/Saturn (Spring Stampede 1999)

 

WWE

Benoit/Saturn/Malenko/HHH/X-Pac v. Cactus/Too Cool/Rock/Rikishi (RAW 2/7/00)

Benoit v. Rock (RAW 2/14/00)

Benoit/Jericho v. Austin/HHH (RAW 5/21/01)

Benoit v. Austin (Smackdown 5/31/01)

Either Benoit/Brock from Smackdown or a Smackdown 6 match that ruled.

 

Jason

 

Edit: After thinking about it more, I'd take out the Rock match from Valentine's Day and throw in the Angle cage match from RAW during the Austin storyline. The Smackdown 6 match I'd be thinking about would be something along the lines of the 2/3 falls tag title match with Benoit/Angle v. Mysterio/Edge, or a tag match against Los Guerreros.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

If we're talking NJPW here, I'd want.........

 

Benoit/Ohtani vs Tiger/Sasuke, BOSJTL 94 Finals

Benoit/Lyger vs Steiner Bros (Can't recall the date, Scott finishes Lyger off w/ the screwdriver and pretty much murders him)

Benoit vs Sasuke, J-Cup 94 Finals

Benoit vs El Samurai, BOSJ 93

Benoit vs Black Tiger, can't recall date, took place in some kinda tourney in 96

[JustJoe2k5 0]

Wouldn't surprise me if they went the Ric Flair route and put the entire 2004 Royal Rumble on the DVD.

[ISportsFan 0]

Wouldn't surprise me if they went the Ric Flair route and put the entire 2004 Royal Rumble on the DVD.

I would hate that because it's already on the Rumble DVD itself. If they want, they can include clips in the main feature. I think that PPV matches shouldn't be on the DVD and only TV matches that aren't on DVD yet.

Ah I have seen it. Starcade 95 is possibly a top 5 ever WCW PPV in my eyes with those two matches and a good triple threat. Althoguh Eddie/Ohtani > Benoit/Lyger that night.

[razazteca 0]

Benoit vs Angle 3 matches

Beniot vs Booker T 2 matches

Benoit vs Raven vs DDP feud

Beniot & Malenko as 4 Horsemen

Beniot & Malenko as Triple Threat

Beniot & Jericho as tag champions

Beniot vs Sullivan

Beniot vs Bret Hart

[Guest Trivia247]

Oh definately would have to add the tribute match for Owen Hart

between Bret Hart vs Chris Benoit

[Gert T 0]

I would like the TLC match the night after Benoit/Jericho won the tag match, but I guess Jericho loves that match, and I would assume he'll get a DVD down the line in the next two years.

[KTID 0]

Benoit vs Angle 3 matches

 

Why on earth would you do a thing like that?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

I can just imagine the matches WWE would pick for Jericho's DVD

 

Chris Jericho vs HHH, Last Man Standing, Fully Loaded 2000

Chris Jericho vs HHH, WrestleMania 18

Chris Jericho vs HHH, Judgement Day 2002

 

And so on......

[King Cucaracha 0]

If they go the Foley route, and basically let him chose his own matches, there's got to be a Benoit/Eddie match seeing as they're so close.

[Guest webmasterofwrestlegame]

I can't believe no-one has mentioned the awesome 3-way matches from the past two PPV's for the Benoit DVD.

[razazteca 0]

Benoit vs Angle 3 matches

 

Why on earth would you do a thing like that?

You're right it should be 5 matches

 

Am I the only one who thinks this is the greatest set of matches ever...........better than HHH vs Foley better than HHH vs HBK better than Flair vs Steamboat!

 

I can't believe no-one has mentioned the awesome 3-way matches from the past two PPV's for the Benoit DVD

I demand that these matches belong on a DVD of its own, either as Best of 2004 or Best of Raw volume 5.

[ISportsFan 0]

Putting the recent PPV matches on DVD is just stupid, since they're already on DVD for the actual PPV shows.

 

Jason

[Guest sanyo]

Still the past two PPV's have been his launching pad of sorts to the top. Any DVD where you have HHH tapping out is gold. Wrestlemania has to absolutely be on it- it would be empty without it. All those matches mean nothing if they don't put the match where all the hard work paid off on the biggest wrestling stage of them all.

[2GOLD 0]

I need at least a few matches between him and Sullivan. Including the one that ended up spilling into the bathroom of the arena. The Owen Hart tribute match is a must and I don't know why but I want to see the one where he breaks Sabu's neck included.

 

But no Sullivan, no sale.

Put in the clips of the match on the main program -- it puts the winning of the world title on the DVD while not giving us something that (most of the wrestling-watching world) already owns on DVD.

If they're releasing a Bret DVD, surely the Owen tribute match would be saved for that, especially as a)it was Bret's requested match for his brother and b) Bret won

Eh, yes. Yes you are.

I also request the matches when Beniot & Angle were Smackdown tag team champions that led to the team breaking up.

Probably too many tags on there. Meh, that's all I can think of now.

[Enigma 0]

Ah yes, Chris Benoit vs. Dean Malenko at Hog Wild '96. The event where these two put on a double-overtime technical classic in front of a moronic group of stupid bikers who chant "Boring" constantly.

 

Maybe they'll fix it in editing.

They should just include the Sabu thing as a hidden feature, as they only go through about two or three moves before the injury occurs. It's on one of ECW's DVDs. I think they should include the Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit match, I believe, from a Smackdown between Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania where Benoit bleeds buckets.

Yeah.
