haVoc 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 It's obvious Benoit is getting old and is past his prime so he should job the title to a member of the younger generation like Triple H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jimbo Report post Posted May 24, 2004 37, eh? I wonder how much longer Benoit will continue with the WWE... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Loss Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Considering how long wrestlers usually go before retiring, I'd say 20 more years, unless he drops dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Eddie is, or will be, 36. He was born in 1968. If you looked closely on SD, you could see some gray creeping into his facial hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Repo Man Reborn Report post Posted May 24, 2004 It's obvious Benoit is getting old and is past his prime so he should job the title to a member of the younger generation like Triple H. I agree. And if not Triple H, what about the new guy on Smackdown? I think his name is The Undertaker....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OraleHolmes Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Eh, Bret Hart was 37 in 1992-1993. Benoit has at least 4-5 great years ahead of him, if Hart is any indication. Oh, and don't forget, Flair didn't reach his prime until age 41 in his series with Steamboat, so you never know... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Benoit at 37, is still one of the best North American wrestlers around, but his prime was ages ago. Still a great wrestler and one of the best ever IMO.

Guest Loss Report post Posted May 24, 2004 HHH - 33 Undertaker - 42 Rikishi - 37 Booker T - 38 Not sure on Booker, but I'm 100% sure on the others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That can't be right, in the wrestling with shadows documentary, Bret tells a woman that he just turned 40. No way was he 37 in 1992. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Who gives a shit how old somebody is? If they can work, they can work. And besides, an older, mediocre Benoit is still better than 95% of the WWE roster. Anyhoo, happy birthday, Champ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cheech Report post Posted May 24, 2004 I'd say Benoit has maybe 5 years left as a real wrestler unless something bad happens. But at 37 he is still god, past his prime or not. And Bret was 35 when he won his first WWF Championship in 1992. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted May 24, 2004 Bret Hart was born in 1958. You geniuses got Benoit's birthday wrong anyway. It was on FRIDAY. http://www.wrestlinginformer.net/chris_benoit.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Report post Posted May 24, 2004 For someone way past his prime, Bret Hart pretty much carried WWE on his back during the dark days of 1993-1996 in the work-rate department. I'm surprised Flair can still go, considering his "career ending" broken back from 1975. 30 years of taking bumps HAS to do some damage to something that was severely damaged already.
