Austin hurt his back pretty badly when Booker put him through the announcers table. Add that to Benoit doing himself in and that's pretty much why the match ended like it did (or I assume so at least)
To everybody who thinks how the match ended poorly it diddnt because when Chris Benoit gave Jericho that back suplex off the top rope Benoit broke his neck as he landed thats why he couldnt get up
Should have stunnered Y2J and ended it that way, Benoit was fucked with neck so just have other two finish match. Slowly but surely you could see Attitude era losing its shine
Well Jericho and Benoit are forever dog's shit and pig's shit! They couldn't and will never overcome the Might of The Rattle Snake - Stone Cold Steve Austin!!!
@sahib4552 ohhhhhhhhhh really??? Just 'cause he was Tha Rabid Fuckin' Dog??? Ohhhhhh see what had happened to your "hero": Chris "The Murderer" Benoit!!! Was that what made you proud??? Poor thing
@CryingZombie666 if u hate him so much why did you click on the video? also i am a austin fan and i have same respect for him but what wwe did to chris benoit was wrong they completely forget him
@sahib4552 'cause Austin let those two poor things Benoit and Jericho fall deep inside the failure ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. And yes, WWE should forget Benoit cuz he was a murderer LOL
the ending wasn't bad really. benoit did pretty much broke his neck on that back superplex and if the match was to go on then benoit would have been out of the equation due to his neck.
@omariisboss122 That's cause Benoit broke his f'n neck when that suplex happened, I'm sure he got a gesture that Benoit was hurt and they just went for the finish. I bet Benoit would have lost to Austin anyway, probably via Stunner on Benoit, but since he couldn't pick him up to do it. He was told probably by Hebner or via gestures by Paul Heyman and JR to just cover him.
now in real life this was bad becaus ebenoit broke his neck, but WTF u GIVE a back body drop from up top and yet u lay there motionless, at least let benoit get up and receive a stunner, another bad thing from the wwf writing staff
Wasn't this around the time Benoit gave Austin not one, not two, but TEN german suplexes or something? That couldn't have been good for either of their necks.
KOTR was brutal for injuries. Stone Cold got injured when he went through the table, Benoit ruptured a disc on that belly to back suplex and earlier in the night Angle broke his tailbone. Oh and Shane was majorly concussed.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lamest ending ever. Benoit couldn't kick out after he himslef performed the move off of the top rope? Not to mention it took Austin about a good minute to cover him, plenty of time to recover to kick out.
was thar how the match was supposed to end because Benoit could not do anything after theturnbuckle suplex. I can just see the pain watching that having seen hardknocks. I mean was that the original end to the match??
This match was good but the first 8 seconds of this clip when Jericho allegedly hits Austin with the piece of the announcement table is obviously the most fake part of the match. Just listen to the sound it makes and where and how it hits.
this in my opinion was a decent match i mean it was really sloopy but their was some cool part too. didn't like the ending either though and if i had to give it a rating it would be 5 out of 10.
even though i loved the wwf, that was one of the gayest endings ever. A pin after a back body drop off the top rope??? and on the man who the manuver wasn't even inflicted on???...WTF???
The ending wasn't bad. Austin pinned Benoit because he injured his back when he did the back body drop and he needed surgery. Thats why he couldn't compete till May 2002.
austin was supposed to win, thats how the storyline worked, and benoit injured his neck before this one...so yea this is how WWF wanted it to end, very bad writing on there part
@bestthinggoing459 ur retarded before u post something know ur facts. benoit ruptured a disk in his neck which fragmented into his spinal collar. if u think u couldve done better please make me famous
@bestthinggoing459 all becuase of austin,the rock,kurt angle,hhh,undertaker,mick foley ,kane,y2j,chris benoit,booker t,goldberg,ric flair,even kevin nash hogan hall and shelton benjamin had a good part in it
