Talk Wrestling 89: Austin vs. Rock, HBK/Wrestlemania, more

[daviebhoy90]

Much respect for your wrestlemania17 comment Jeff! That main event and promo still gives me goosebumps

[charmer2323]

there is talk of having trish and the rock inducted in the wrestlemania 28 hof which will be in canada

[Plasmapyro17]

Hey Jeff, when will WWE go to Nic Jr.?

[Kingjd87]

Are you the seed of Paul Bearer??? Your chin has an uncanny resemblance to Paul's.

[bizzybez]

y u people haten on him damn thats wuts wrong with this world too many haters and yes chris was a good werstler but he fuking killed his fam so fuk him

[markdavis315]

i would love to see the woman who slept with you.Good god!

[markdavis315]

black is not always slimming

[twiztidjuggaloryanj]

i have the benoit umd on psp

[twiztidjuggaloryanj]

i miss the light heavy weight title

[urbanvenom2008]

Check this guy out below. Watched a few too many episodes of the soprano's

[SEaNx327]

LOL

[eastcountybadass]

CHRIS BENIOT will always be one of my all time greats.he didnt kill his family.the mafia did.he owed a big dept to the mafia so the mafia smoked them all

[ant282]

@eastcountybadass stfu dick face but u are right chris benoit is an all time great

[countout22]

get real u fucking clown, benoits a murdering scumbag!!!!

[mattytheking001]

same theres so many theories but that one makes sense

[urbanvenom2008]

I agree, the original nwo were great heels. The outsiders alone were great then when hogan joined! Awesome. I don't care what anybody says. Nobody expected that

[twiztidjuggaloryanj]

yess dude haha

dx as heels were great

evolution were amazing

orton and edge r the best heels right now

[s1lunc3r]

original three members of the nwo were a fantastic heel stable...

[tru3mag1c]

you should review the death of wcw by the wrestlecrap guys.

[Devebabi07]

HHH and now Orton is excellent!

[urbanvenom2008]

What do ppl think about warrior been inducted in to the hall of fame nxt yr? Its held in pheonix where he lives, and also its 20yrs since he beat hogan for the title in that awesome wrestlemania6 main event

[s1lunc3r]

would love to see it!! warrior, hogan, savage, and many others are a big reason i'm even a fan of wrestling. if he and the wwe have mended all the fences i think it would be awesome...

[urbanvenom2008]

Former wwe wrestlers to tna? Don't expect any big signings like when they signed angle, and recently hogan. Maybe we'll see low profile wrestlers like rvd, kennedy, umaga going to tna but don't expect ppl like austin or the rock

[s1lunc3r]

totally agree with you man, rock would go back to wwe if he ever decided to return , and i believe austin is focusing more on acting these days... maybe a ric flair or a jbl could be a possibility, but names only help for so long, eventually tna is going to need to start putting out a better product to be any competition for wwe...

[tonyrusin]

Who do you think will TNA bring in who was a former wwe wrestler?

[tcw4ever123]

speaking of the naturals. They are also very good heels. Especially Chase

[7771989]

triple h is th greatest heel ever

[Devebabi07]

Agreed i always say this! HHH one of best heels of all time!

[nicolehockeygirl]

Jericho's book was very funny and very informative.

[OwnagerEric]

hard knocks is on youtube search it

[revick]

Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas are working in an up and company called SAW in nashville, tn. Check them out. not the best but pretty good

[tcw4ever123]

i've been to a few SAW shows.

I've worked for NWA Main Event in nashville, I may try an get booked at SAW here soon.

[urbanvenom2008]

Wouldn't it be great if, wen dx eventually split again. The work an angle of, maybe triple h winning the title and hbk been jealous and turnin on hhh. Makin hhh face against hbk's heel

[urbanvenom2008]

Hulk hogan wasn't vince's 1st choice to be "the man" or "face" of the WWF. I can't remember if it was tony atlas or jesse ventura who was his 1st choice but it was not hogan. I do think though that neither of those men would have had the same effect has hogan.

[jordakai]

I love that book, its so good!

[choong4life]

This guy has good opinions but sometimes just goes on a bit too much.

[WhiteyRose]

is it a ship or a truck you fat fucktard

[faaback]

BATISTAS NOSE PIERCE IS GAYYYY!!!!

[PapaChewie]

The HBK vs. Tatanka match from Wrestlemania IX wasn't exactly good in my opinion.

[Ratmann3684]

hello??? what about hbk and taker at wm25?

[HeroVillan5]

Great book and dvd reviews I have both and enjoyed them.

[dxbomber]

Batista a good heel?

LOL good one jeff

[boonski]

One of the best wrestling books ever! I actually got it from Chris Jericho at an autograph signing in Toronto about 2 weeks before he returned.

[RatedRKJerichO]

Best Wrestling book EVER!!!!! Jericho is AWESOME!!!!

[RatedRKJerichO]

Vince and HBK both swear that the fan votes are not screwed with. Dammit I believe them.

[djiehfuh]

Lol at this guy... he's just some fan that likes to give his opinions... nothin els... maybe ppl should start realizing that.

[MCCARTHY3920]

Hulk Hogan is the most overrated wrestler ever. Yes he did bring to the main stream but how can not say someone like Austin or the Rock would have never brought it to the mainstream.

[LeaderOfTheFlock]

you ought to hear all the marks on my video comments talk about hogan. I have a most overrated and underrated stars video of popular era

[ArthurZ101]

good benoit review... i been try n 2 get that dvd 4 a while

[kjt963]

Rick Rude and Ted DiBease are my two favorite heels. Kevin Sullivan and Jake Roberts could also draw a lot of heat as heels.

[MrWrestlingSTYLE1000]

yammi yammi

[orkanen]

Triple H is the best heel of all time!

[xxEBWxx]

hell yeah all the way dude! he needs to get outta this dx crap and whoop on hbk

[redfury0156]

wrestlemania 9 vs tattanka was not that good

[kaneinite4eva]

i think kane and chris jerico are great heels

[kaneinite4eva]

i agree rock and austin at 17 was there best match!

[poppy87]

I cut up all the disc once benoit died.

[minigini613]

the iron man match sucked,, soooo many botches

[Zman3185]

C Benoit u have lost yo Got D A M N mind

[taker980]

yeah bragging rights not only took the survival raw vs smackdown match from survivor series but y did they put it right before it STUPID!

[xEdge08]

Also.. Shawn Michaels=BEST WRESTLER EVER!!!!!!!

[xEdge08]

you left out Triple H as one of the Best Heels in WWE, he was simply amazing, just the way he could work the crowd and getting DQ'd to keep his belt and all that stuff was just fun to see

[LADRLZ]

Hogan=best wrestler ever. period.

[LADRLZ]

WOW!!! I can't believe you said you loved Chris Benoit. You are a douche bag.

A psycho loon who kills his wife and six year old kid... and you love him.

Outrageous.

[JPowe007]

actually. the kid was 5. :-(

[rapterchannel]

YOUR A SERIOUS McAsshole !

[HCWlive]

You look like the comic book guy from the simpsons.

I cant understand you because you keep choking on ya neck fat! TITS!

You think ya some wrestling god... and that RVD is ya mate, just because he did an interview with you? Mate.... ya fat, ya live with ya mum.... AHHHH

[Ehmish]

8:10

H1N1.

[DGenerationMC]

last I saw of the Naturals was on SAW wrestling where they broke up and started to feud a few months back.

[ColMacvsDJGooch]

My Top 5 HBK matches....

5. Summer Slam 1995 vs. Razor Ramon Ladder Match 4. Wrestlemania X vs. Razor Ramon

Ladder Match

3. Summerslam 2002 vs. Triple H Street Fight

2. Wrestlemania 12 vs. Bret Hart Iron Man Match

1. Wrestlemania 25 vs. Undertaker

[DeathAdder83]

HBK vs Hogan Summer Slam 2005 FTW!

[bigevil50]

**** 4. HBK vs Undertaker first ever hell in a cell

[bringwwfback]

Wrestlemania 17! wot a nite!

[RedKnightTheGreat]

You probably are. HBK and Razor(Hall) used the ladder match to great effect and basically put the match over so much that they'd go on to work a great programme regarding the IC Title.

[TNCW]

I wish Miss Elizabeth would be inducted

[xXKiLLaKArAZyXx]

about the naturals,, chase stevans appears sometimes at local shows near where i live . and if im not mistaken,, i think andy douglas has did one with him . but i do agree,, i like the naturals and would love to see them back in TNA :)

[jamietna1]

Im still a huge Chris Benoit fan

[paradise777lost]

Much respect to you for even saying Chris Benoit...regardless of what anyone has to say about him personally, he is, at least in my opinion, the greatest pro wrestler of all time. RIP

[rapterchannel]

"A BOOK REVIEW!" (high voice like he got a chicken mcnugget stuck in his throat)

[PBAwesome901]

niggers.

[guitarist8688]

I completlely agree with your Rock/Austin pick, i too believe it was the greatest wrestlemania/main event of all time.

Funnily enough it was the first wrestlemania i'd seen, and one of the first wrestling shows i'd seen too.

So i geuss i'm a little biased haha.

Great show, dude.

[MrHeyman5]

Edge Best Heel To Ever LIVE!!!

[RedKnightTheGreat]

What? No mention of Curt Hennig, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Macho Man(yep he was a heel), Ric Flair etc....

[prince12play]

screw chris beniot! personally i never liked him! and when he did what he did that just knocked him off completly! how can u even do that! but hey only he knows! thats just my opinion! i dont want no one givin me shit bout this..cuz it wud b a waste of time on your part!

[ps3tna]

i agree with you completly

[ripperofthepiss]

Hey man, love the show, big fan, but you still look like a big Kentucky Fried Chicken eatin' motherf****r!

[Niroticpogo]

Turning Angle face was not a big mistake. I think it is more realistic for him to be a face at this point in his career. TNA needs a new top heel. And Orton is not a good heel, not anymore at least. Orton fucking sucks at just about everything now-a-days. He gets way too much praise. He used to be awesome though, but he's gone way downhill this year.

[RedKnightTheGreat]

Well, Orton's been a heel for about his whole career in WWE despite a forgettable run as a face. When a wrestler's been a heel or face for so long, that person seriously needs to make a "turn". Orton's long overdue a decent turn as a face.

[Niroticpogo]

Yea, last year they kind of teased a face turn for him, but it never happened. Although it might be nice, now would be a horrible time to do it. The WWE would need to build up new stars first, particularly a new major heel star, one that maybe Orton could turn face and feud with.

[Mr1990Noah]

Orton is great as a heel. Orton as a face = Epic Fail.

[kanedasrifle]

Chris Jerichos book was average.

Still an enjoyable read, but doesn't compare to the Bret Hart or Foley books.

But i must say it was the funniest of the three.

All i want now is a Raven autobiography.

[ruper31]

06,07,08

[HunterPhenomMakoy]

is it just me, or is it really dumb when someone mentions 'pick your favorite blah blah blah from x wrestler thats been around for decades and then mentions only matches from the past 5 years?

picking favorite HBK matches and not even going back past WM 20 is just dumb.

[RedKnightTheGreat]

Well, my top 5 HBK matches, hmmmm

1. HBK VS Razor Ramon/Hall WMX

2. HBK VS Razor Ramon/Hall Summerslam 1995

3. HBK Vs Austin WMXIV

4. The 2002 Elimination match whatever PPV it was, I cannot remember

5. HBK Vs Bret Hart at WMXIII OR HBK Vs Bret Hart at Survivor Series 1997.

[cool6]

the ppv was survivor series

[HunterPhenomMakoy]

i think you mean WMXII, but I agree with you, i think HBK did a good job at WMXIV with Austin. That was a well done match.

[DemonicFrenzy]

Wrong...They can still rig the votes

[Tuluc]

I think the point of Bragging Rights was the help sell the new Smackdown vs RAW 2010

[munkobwa171]

that is the most redundant thing I have ever heard.

[HunterPhenomMakoy]

no its not.

As there was nothing redundant about that, plus you didn't hear it.

[DeathAdder83]

WWE Cruiserweight title DVD...NEVER WILL HAPPEN, sorry. I own the Benoit DVD also, but haven't watched it since the triple murder deal. Hogan was THE GUY in bringing wrestling mainstream, but it would have happend at some point. Jericho writing a book....it's gotta be great no question. 90% of guys are better as a heel, it's just a better gig.

You seem to be just shooting out videos left and right, another great video Jeff, thanks!

[hvapwns]

thank you for reviewing the benoit dvd! everyone puts him down put yet we didn't put down tookie williams....makes no sense

[DeathAdder83]

i own to Benout dvd, put haven't watched it since the triple murder thing.....its all just such a bizare and tragic situtation man.

[Greivious99]

JBL one of the Greatest Heels of all time!!!

[thecatdiaries]

Really?

[stonecold619taker]

you forget Edge he is one of the best heel ever.

[crazyworld1234567890]

Triple H was the best heel

[MrPhantom97]

ur right man shes myfavorite diva or women wrestler buti just said that cuzof what she did to matt

[barbel666]

bragging rights was just to promote the smackdown vs raw video game

[vicavox]

Jeff these videos are highly interesting, I know it's just an opinion you present but I doubt many will find course to argue your points, but please, for the love of God...keep a tissue with you.

[jacksg94]

The Naturals no longer work as a tag team. Chase Stevens currently wrestle for S.A.W. wrestling out of Nashville, TN & Andy Douglas now wrestles on the southeast independent circuit in the US.

[moviewatchingid]

They shouldn't have even had bragging rights truthfully and just built the story up more for Survivor Series. Too many ppvs weakens the buildups. Plain and simple. Less money maybe, but it's the truth it weakens the rivalries with so many.

[Silverwolfcub]

@moviewatchingid

OR go back to show event once every 2 months, like they used to share surviror series and wrestlemania, and then judgement day, armagedon were RAW only, and cyber sunday and backlash were smackdown only

[hvapwns]

actually taboo teusday, happened in 2004, then cyber sunday happened in 05, both were multi brand im pretty sure

[lattlay]

trish being inducted would be amazing!

[THEJO8]

sunday is my birthday:O:O :D:D:D

[SvenBex]

a ship and a truck that doesn't sound right :D

[Big2thaTony]

I think guys like Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle, and Eddie Guerrero play both the face and heel roles greatly!

[Xxsuperdude13xX]

yes

[DrTranReincarnated]

I love the book reviews keep them comin' and I have that book in paperback it's an amazing book leaves you wanting more I could read it ten times over again.You also forgot to mention how great a heel Edge and Jericho are.

[MrPhantom97]

litas a bitch

[kissmyass1025]

Chris Hero is an excellent heel =]

[immortalslayer90]

I just made a video RQ I'd like to send in to talk wrestling. Where do I send it? I couldent figure it out.

[JakeTheFakeReal]

... for wrestling news

[thecrowrip]

randy orton is a amazing heel!

[takerisawesome]

i think ig hulk hogan never existed then i think machomadness would of made it mainstream

[DoubleCrossKing]

Idk if Ric Flair in JCP could have done what Hogan did in WWF to have pro-wrestling go mainstream

If not Flair, than there might have been a wait for Austin or Rock to be the guy.

That was a good question

[skirtwearingfreak]

Best Heels ever?

Ravishing Rick Rude, Ted diBiase sr., Mr. Perfect and of course Jake "The Snake" Roberts.

BTW: Trish 4 Hall of Fame!

[SteveO4785]

Jerichos book is an awesome read! I like it very much. I also recommend Austins book and Bischoffs book!

[MrEddingtonJr]

edge... orton...hhh are sum great wwe heels

[MattDdirector]

My favorite heels are Tripple H, Kurt Angle, Edge & Christian, The Rock & Jericho

[funnyt11]

hey jeff who has better matches/ rivalry

austin vs rock or austin vs tripleh

[xxxragexxx40965]

Just because the actual chris benoit did that doesnt mean im not gonna respect his wrestling career he was a great wrestler And im still a fan of that persona he had

[liquiterge]

'good to see that dvd get reviewed. FYE here always has a copy for cheap and I was wondering if it was worth getting or not, aside from for the "omg erase Benoit from history!" factor.

[joropi]

What do you think of the internet sensation "Botchamania"? I know it won't have a massive effect, do you believe that it's hurting or helping the business as a whole? I personally think the videos are hilarious, like 4chan meets WCW.

[ICEGOD2]

Divas in the hall of fame are few and far in between but Trish Stratus will be there and if not I'll be shocked.

[JayRedd69]

That Chris Benoit DVD is really good

miss that guy damn Rip

[elijahpryor]

My favorite HBK match of ALL TIME would have to be Team Bischoff vs. Team Austin at Survivor Series. The amount of respect HBK and Austin showed each other was phenomenal.

[abyss1234567890]

true and besides they did it in 2005 team RAW: Masters, Carltio, Kane, Show and HBK vs team Smackdown: JBL, Batista, Rey, Orton and Lashey

[djas12345]

im sorry for commenting again but i belive in august 4 and indy wrestler was in a car accident and killed my friend step-dad and dj rizz i think his name was yea so i just wanted to say

[djas12345]

i have wrestlemania anthology 2000-2004 and my favorite for the wrestlemanias on the dvds would be wrestlemania 16 (2000) because great matches and the fatal 4-way was amazing because i predicted b4 the match foley was going to win but then triple h won and i was amazed at it

[Cubfan2240]

I like chris benoit on camera. I like Chris while he is in kayfabe. I did not know him as a person, all I know is he took the lives of him and his family. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with liking the Chris in the ring.

[ilikethecoke]

Finally, someone who sees it like I do.

Let's keep his personal and professional lives seperate.

[calicoboricua83]

Great Job Jeff

Glad you got to read Lion's Tale :D

[afrokidryder]

I cant believe you mentioned Taker, but Not the Rock or HHH, both of them were TREMENDOUS Piece of Shit Heels. Edge is a better heel than face, Bret Hart tremendous heel, Shelton is a decent heel, Cena was BELOVED as a heel, nobody boo'd that guy. The biggest "DONT EVER CHANGE THIS GUY TO FACE AGAIN" Heel is Randy Orton though. His face turn was like the worst in history, went from Champ, to gettin beaten CLEAN by Heel Triple H in less than a month and never recovered as a face. Heel he is.

[KingoftheA]

I really wish Jeff would actually have a set-up on this show.A formal look, a formal set, a formal table. Rather than just him in various places talking to the computer. You know?

[UalhashimiU]

desmond wolfe is trying 2 be instead of sting also he wears the sunglasses with tha mic

[hifi302]

Chris Benoit was one if not the BEST wrestler ever!!! Dont ever forget him!!

[pimpgangster2008]

hey jeff do u think john cena mite fight taker for takers last wrestle maina match

[roh1930]

i think that would be great to see cena vs taker there has been a lot of talk that triple h might even fight taker at his last wrestlemania match but i think cena would be better

[YamiSilaas]

Cena wasnt a bad heel either. At least he was pretty entertaining back then.

[nirvanarhodes]

Jeff do you think WWE will ever let a British guy win the Heavyweight/WWE belt, Bulldog looked like he might at one point. Now they have Burchill but bury him all the time, he needs a good break, he is a great wrestler and it would be good to FINALLY see a British main stage champ. It's getting dull the belts been passed around the same 5/6 guys all the time.

[ninjahound11]

He covered in an episode i forget which 1

[ToM2CoOL]

Personal Favourtie HBK WM Matches:

1) WM 20 triple Threat

2) WM 21 vs Kurt ANgle

3) WM 25 vs Undertaker

4) WM 22 vs Vince

5) I cant choose between 14 and 23. :/ ( I would say vs bret but i havnt watched it in full or live so i cant really choose it

[TheMountainMan84]

Nice seeing more Talk Wrestlings man. Keep it up...just don't get burned out again and stop making them.

[MattitudeFan]

History of Hardcore Title!!!

[godsgift2x]

i like to see that come out problem would be is editing out all the blood

[nmc019]

Ur ballin 2 TW in 1week!!

[jwforever316a]

dude, blow your fucking nose, will ya?

[Tomthestarhartnell]

jericho= best heel vs hbk

[tnadrg1982]

blue demon jr is not the nwa champ anymore its oliver john

[Broncos1684]

HHH is is way better heel

[UCERAHB]

Triple H was an awesome heel too

[Mikko84]

They did the Bragging Rights match because Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 was coming out. Period. lol

[KasperMullen]

yeah but it was fun that everytime they talked about the 7 man tag matchs they always said raw vs smackdown and not smackdown vs raw

[JohnTheBaptist87]

even thp michaels dragged himself thru wrestlemania 14 he still had a good match with austin

[Jaylethal777]

if he was black omg chris benoit would be seen as the monster that he is

[Fanzineguru]

yes, he turned into a monster. but still he was a great wrestler and nobody can deny that his matches were awesome.

[onetwothree123kid]

taboo tuesday and cyber sunday were free voting so yeah of course managment made the final decision as they know people can't complain as they wouldn't have lost anything!

[TrueAgendaSetter]

I bought the Hard Knocks DVD and it really is a well-produced DVD. The only problem I have is trying to tell people who aren't wrestling fans to separate the perfomer from the person.

[greatgames148]

11 Years you have been around a long time damn congrats jeff thats longer than TNA have been around lol

[iseeredpeoples]

not to knock scott hall but shawn micheals could of had that ladder match with 1 lucky member of the crowd and it would of been the same. that match made people sit up and notice shawn as a main event player

[OMEGAHiV]

As Ric Flair said, that match was Shawn vs The Ladder with Razor Ramon just stnding around doing nothing

[mhrfg]

Nobody cares your first idiot

[wealllovepotatoes]

faggot

[mehlol1]

lol owned

[VVWEtitantrons]

No your not the fist faggot on youtube

[mehlol1]
