Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Report post Posted July 26, 2004 I was mostly excited about the Steel Cage and Flair DVDs, for Eddie's and Benoit's, I am feeling rather underwhelmed. Maybe its because I don't watch wrestling much anymore. When school starts, I'll get into it again I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJerk 0 Report post Posted July 26, 2004 I find it interesting that once again the internet is abuzz once again that something of Benoit's is being held back. I find your grasp at the English language to be interesting as that made no sense. Do you understand now, or would you like for me to use crayons and finger puppets? Let me point out what you didn't seem to understand I find it interesting that once again the internet is abuzz once again that something of Benoit's is being held back. Improper sentence structure. Okay, anal-boy. Let's examine your post, shall we? Let me point out what you didn't seem to understand You needed to put either a period or a colon at the end of this sentence fragment to make it correct. Improper sentence structure. This sentence lacks a verb. I find your grasp at the English language to be interesting as that made no sense. You are missing a comma between "interesting" and "as". Thus how your grasp of the English knowledge is interesting. That sentence made no sense. It should have read "Your grasp of the English language is interesting," or "Your knowledge of the English language is interesting," or even "Your grasp of English is interesting." In other words, you suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 26, 2004 I'm not quoting everything, but somebody explain to Jerky over there that the quote is in the middle of a statement. Pointing out is in action. There was a verb. You can't win since I actually graduated high school. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 Anyone found it at any local stores? FYE.com has it listed as in-stock so I may go out there later today and see if they're correct. HighSpots.com also has easter eggs listed, so I'm guessing they have their copies in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It took RFVideo 5 fucking weeks to deliver. For anyone that has the DVD, what'd they do with the Owen tribute match? Is it edited for commercials, or did it make it uncut?

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 God, the footage of Orndorff from '00 Nitro...... Benoit discusses Orndorff coming back from a neck injury and his entire right side being week and having no muscular development. It's sad footage. If it was Russo's call to put Orndorff in the ring in that kind of shape, fuck you, Vince. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SoZe Report post Posted July 27, 2004 For anyone that has the DVD, what'd they do with the Owen tribute match? Is it edited for commercials, or did it make it uncut? It's edited, but it still is fabulous. I had only seen it once, when it aired live. I was really kinda torn watching it though. I remembered it being this great, great wrestling match, which it most assuredly is. I however had forgotten how emotional the whole thing was though, it's hard to watch without thinking of how sad the whole thing was. Still, a fantastic WRESTLING match, on a show that had kind of forgotten about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted July 27, 2004 I got my copy at FYE earlier today ($19.99 - $5 mail in rebate). So far, I've only watched the main feature, which is pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JHawk 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 I can't beleive they included the match where Sabu broke his neck. That thing lasted, what? Two minutes? It's also the match where he got the "Canadian Crippler" nickname, so they kind of had to include it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 Lotsa good ECW stuff in the main feature. Shows Dean & Chris winning the tag straps, a couple Benouit superbombs, Triple Threat promo, Benoit throwing around Sabu, Myers, & Snow... Benoit's WCW re-debut (coming out of the limo) is shown. Watch in amazement during Eddie Vs. Benoit from 10/16/95 Nitro as Bischoff tries to call moves, and then when the other announcers get them right, Bischoff interrupts them and says "I swear I saw it clearly, it was...<move> instead". Some odd coverage of Benoit's WWF 2000 arrival. They do the entire buildup package and match for The Rock at FL 00....but when it comes to Stone Cold, the Edmonton match is completely ignored except for a brief mention. God Benoit had an awful outfit in 93 for WCW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2004 Benoit's father tells the story of Chris's missing tooth. They were walking their large Rottweiler in the backyard, who jumped up, cracked its head with Benoit's jaw, and out popped the tooth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest thatdude21601 Report post Posted July 28, 2004 Tazz and Cole are cool during the New Japan matches, Grisham seems very lost. Thank god they left the original commentary though, as it's distracting in english . Tazz: "Even the Japanese just say no" Grisham:" Is the style like Lucha?" Malenko: "No" I havn't watched it all yet, just the main feature..and the first two matches. But It already rules. Got mine at Wal-Mart . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
