The Benoit video has aired on RAW before and is on his DVD

Cool! Thanks.

Also Benoit teased doing the tope like 4 times- I really wanted to see him bust it out.

 

I thought for sure it was coming when Jericho was out on the floor by the tables. Benoit was in stance for it and it almost looked to me like the ref nixed it. But if they're planning a series that's a great thing to build on.

 

I too was expecting a tope. You think the refferree might have nixed it? How can you tell?

 

 

A good match overall.

 

You can tell they were setting up for a future match. Neither guy got their big submission hold in and the finish was an "inconclusive" one.

I chanted 'The Koran', 'Ramadan' and 'Al Queada' at Hussein and Davari. I was surprised they got instant heel heat

The hell? That's like yelling "The Bible" or "Christmas" at Chris Jericho

[bob_barron]

But Jericho's character isn't an out and out Christian

[claydude14]

So it would be more appropriate to chant at Shawn Michaels

[The Mandarin]

The absolute highlight for me, fan-wise, was the guys dressed-up like Hassan.

I agree.

 

ALSO:

 

Where were the ECW shirts?

The wave didn't catch on as much this time.

No "We Want Bret" chants?

 

Decent show.

Best. Picture. Ever.

hahaha

 

HAN-UK-KAH! HAN-UK-KAH!

 

"This crowd doesn't like Raven, professor!"

[The Mandarin]

Best. Picture. Ever.

I was shocked with how willing they were to pose for the picture. No cries of "infidel" at me or anything.
