evilhomer 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2005 I don't know if it's inappropriate or not, but with a tribute show for him I figured we could go with a tribute thread. Of course 1 and 1a are going to be his NWO WWE Title win, and the WM 20 ending moment with him and Benoit in the ring. Other than those, two of my favourites: During the Lie, Cheat, Steal days, his entrance at the El Paso Smackdown. I don't think I have ever heard a louder, more sustained pop. Eddie's appreciation and love really showed there. Another was during a midcard three way fued in WCW. Benoit, Malenko and Eddie were all out to get each other, with Eddie playing the con-man looking for an allegiance with one of them. Eddie and Malenko were in the ring face to face ready to square off with Eddie slightly cowering away. Unbeknownst to Malenko, Benoit jumps into the ring behind him. Eddie sees him, gives a quick "oh shit" look, then smiles and reaches out to shake Malenko's hand as Benoit comes from behind and clobbers him. A quick double beatdown ensues before Eddie turns on Benoit, and in turn gets beat on by both of them before retreating. His facial expressions, timing and delivery were classic Eddie, and were absolutely flawless. For obscure wrestling references that nobody remembers, this was is definately my all time favourite.

Guest JMA Report post Posted November 15, 2005 I'll also have to go with the NWO title win and the end of WM 20. Another good moment was when he came home with the U.S. title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
