Dean Malenko vs Chris Benoit

[SuperMastitis]

7:00 - YEAH! Two of the best, doing it as it should be done.

[Marquee1000]

Dean Malenko deserved more credit than what he got.

[mastercool202]

Dean Malenko > John Cena

[jawiermasters]

@mastercool202 You and everyone who watches this vid >John Cena

[jsc094020]

Workers of this caliber are so rare today, everything either one of them do throughout this entire match is so crisp and sharp, half the sloppy today because they are green, the other half, sloppy because they are too old. It is sad that professional wrestling has become as big as it is, with many of the fans missing out on why wrestling was entertaining in the first place.

[lostmyshoes80]

Such precision in the ring. Who cares that wrestlings shit nowadays when we have great classics like this. Thanks for the upload

[An0k1n]

Now thats a wrestling match at its finest If only WWE can end the deal with Mattel cause Mattel is the reason WWE is PG so we can see that type of wrestling and blood

[AJ36sXe]

@An0k1n The reason why matches like this are so rare in WWE today is because people are in love with the entertainment side of WWE instead of the wrestling side and it's been that way since 1998. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with a tv rating, nor a toy company LOL.

[SexyJustin980]

dude its the only name i could get with justin and 980 and no, they continued like vince never appeared

[SexyJustin980]

i miss beniot so much and i love that vince faked his wwe death the week beniot died had to announce beniots death and acted like everyone forggot he just appereaed and gave a speech and happened to die agin cause a week later they continued the same storyline!

[LordIceman]

@SexyJustin980 With a name like sexy justin,it's no wonder you don't understand why WWE continued that storyline in a different format

[DaringDirk100]

@SexyJustin980

No they didn't. They dropped the Vince died story as soon as Benoit died for good.

[RedRevolutions]

@SexyJustin980 Ever heard of "Punctuations"?

[SAINTMANSIN]

Hermosa lucha

[frankparker7]

ein klasse match , schade das benoit nicht mehr lebt.

[noblesiner]

can anyone help me find a technical match of this magnitude between two performers who over 6'2. I would love to see bigger guys doing stuff like this NO HOMO!!!! Not that theirs anything wrong with that.

[PabloMGP]

@noblesiner Well maybe they were not as technical but Sting and The Ravishing one had amazing matches and they're both over 6'2. The only big guy I can think of that was close to this two in technique is Brock.

[PabloMGP]

@noblesiner Shit man. I forgot about Henning. He was over 6'2 also

[noblesiner]

Now thats what you call talent. AMAZING. They def should have and could have done more with dean malenko in the wwe, even though this clip is from their wcw days.

[dharmaseed]

What an awesome match! I'd never seen some of the moves they were pulling off before! An example of what happens when you put two professionals in the ring!

[DrGnockerz]

Fucking awesome

[TheTruthItHurts]

WCW had talent. Too bad they weren't doing anything with it.

[DomIstKrieg]

Its like looking at a rodin sculpture or hearing a symphony by mozart. Its just....craftsmanship.Pure craftsmanship.

[JMac73088]

For all wrestlers or people who want to be wrestlers you should look at this match and see what true wrestling is about.

[StinksOnIce22]

Sorry, my French sucks.

[Raven5587]

who won?

[DrGnockerz]

@Raven5587 Benoit

[LiTTLeDizZyUriNe]

chris benoit and dean malenko....damn thats some fine wrestling. if you wanna see a top tier match up anything with these two together is always an A+

[eldogg4life]

Damn, WCW had the ingredients. Too bad they never had the recipe.

A great performance by two of the best who were so familiar with one another that they made this shit look easy.

[Redd1587]

Two of the greatest technical wrestlers ever, PERIOD!

[rubinsky8]

definately 2 of the best mat wrestlers

[CallusEviscerate]

RIP BENOIT

[badbabybear1]

Good match but the quality kinda sucks. Is it just me or dos one of the announcers sound like a Spanish/French (can't tell the language) Jim Ross?

[TheSebang]

@badbabybear1 This is french, believe me, i'm french ;)

[style002323]

these guys could both go- a true 5 star match!!!

[TheMac1229]

I remember the Revolution turned heel and kicked Benoit out, resulting in a Benoit vs Malenko feud. Benoit was replaced by Asya.

[Windwatcher]

This is like butter

[Wafflesaurus]

does anyone know exactly when this match took place?

[barley96]

Sometime in mid 1999.

[ronstermaniac1]

There was a US Title match between Benoit challenged Malenko who was the US champion. That match was great also.

[kmreopell]

love the superplex reversed into small cradle for the win. god i miss malenko & benoit matches

[virgiliomariano]

Let the body hit the floor. Benoit is great!!!!

[hersheys0090]

rip

chris benoit

[elcobra12]

this is the real wrestling not like the fake wwe

[elcobra12]

eso si es lucha no como las novelas de la wwe

[nigganinja00]

what!?!

[Giwex]

This is wrestling, not like the fake WWE

[NickyTinthemornin]

this is fake to

[lalberts]

yeah but not as fake.

[Slamb0ree]

No shit...

But his point was they actually had wrestling....

WWE has always been more about a show than actual real wrestling.

80's & 90's it was more like a comic book...

Late 90's to today its either been a Soap opera or like an episode of southpark lol

Humor and angles on the level of a 9 year old.

[retrograderenegades]

WWE isn't a wrestling company it's an entertainment company. Mcmahon has said this many times.

[RSXemperor]

McMahon says that to make the WWE look good and be accepted for outside wrestling. He knows thats bullshit. If so, I wonder why is he trying to keep "rival wrestling companies" (their words, not mine) like ROH and Dragon Gate from running their shows on Wrestlemania weekend and try to raid ROH's talent roster.

[rohitchaoji]

@Giwex You do know that all matches, regardless of the promo are worked, right? But, yeah, if you mean that technical wrestling matches in WCW were much more believable, then I agree.

[rohitchaoji]

@Giwex Oh, your comment is 2 years old. chuck it :P

[kalacnat]

chris benoit will 4ever be loved in trinidad

[bzuco2]

this match presents what i loved on wrestling...

[BestYTChannel]

John Cena is better than these 2.

LOL, I couldnt even type that without smiling! Malenko for life!

[RoguedTV]

If you think john cena is better then your a true mark I'm glad you love dead selling and no story telling cause thats what cena has become lazy lol

[BestYTChannel]

I guess sarcasm fails on youtube?

[RoguedTV]

it's not that! It's just people out there or should i say marks out there really feel that way lol sorry bout that ;)

[rickytm]

Benoit and Malenko gave us a greatest matches, all of their matches was great!!!

[RavenKL20]

the late 90's early 00's horsemen right there.. we have flair, benoit, eddie, and malenko, not too sure about saturn tho... maybe its just the three horsemen? benoit, eddie, and malenko.

[azrielseclements]

"This-Is-Wrestling!" Clap Clap ClapClapClap "This-Is-Wrestling" Clap Clap ClapClapClap. A proper TV match :)

[arnanderson2]

dean malenko!greatest wrestler ever!

[Findlater94]

Some match min, unreal strength from Benoit at around 4 mins! Oh ye and did you know that malenko showed benoit the crippler crossface before he had it as his finisher

RIP Benoit.

[kajjagoogoo]

i miss this

[jfk19770617]

マレンコはうまいけどパワーとスピリットはベノワが上かな

[pedigreeY2J]

this match is gold

[GhostlyPapaya]

lol, yet you type a very shitty form of English.

[watanabehefuml]

malenko is jewish

[fher004]

at thair prime a

perry saturn vs chris benoit vs kurt angle vs dean makeno would have been an awesome match

[elsavatage]

I agree , so many people look over these guys' awsome talent.

[beproxsoxbro]

Technical wrestling at it's finest.

[topobara]

malenko = simon dean

[DrPowerBoy]

its dean simon

[OCcrazy1]

where is malenko now

[bokprop420]

he works for wwe as a booker and talent agent i believe.

[OCcrazy1]

so he doesn't wrestle anymore

[Fr0sT666]

Malenko is a trainer. Him and Jerry Lawler help train people for the WWE or maybe for anyone that wants to learn.

[JoeBird76]

look at the crowd. on their feet. actually excited. man...wwe kinda sucks now. lol

[fellamercury]

awesome match, this how pro wrestling should look all the time.

[Hibs4wwe]

This is Pro Wrestling at its finest.

[dennisbergkamp17]

Awesome match.

[lilbigkidz]

The Shooter

The Iceman

The Man of 1000 Holds

...Whatever You Wanna Call Him...Dean Malenko Is One Of The Best WRESTLERS In The World.

He Didn't Have To Get On The Microphone And Talk A Lot Of Bullcrap. He Just Stepped In The Ring And Put On A Clinic EVERYTIME. Didn't Matter If It Was Pay-Per-View or A House Show...Malenko Gave 100% Of His Ability 100% Of The Time.

[xwhitedemon]

wow, they put more wrestling into 8 minutes than wwe does in an entire show.

[HaxxorsProduction]

and that's just shameful. I actually had to tweak my attention span to catch it all. WWE is just blah with it's wrestling now.

[zighaiwan]

@xwhitedemon: I wish the guys in Wcw power plant went to TNA. They are better than the WWE trainers and coaches

[7Rayo13]

too bad none of these matches will never see the light of DVD

[herecy13]

lol,the broadcast is en francais!

[arnanderson2]

Dean Malenko best wrestler ever!

[kenjinator]

the very first episode of wrestling i ever saw and i was hooked.

[wrestler50000]

We need these matches again in WWE, even TNA. Look how much they suck after watching old quality!

[CHRIS4EDDIE]

Great match!!!

R.I.P Christopher Michael Benoit...

[sandrock78]

two of the best ever....especially malenko

[BonesAndBones]

damn that was mostly evenly matched

[ladronfr65]

usually, when malenko loose a match, the match is really good !

[Kombatanent]

These are two of the best wrestlers to step foot in the squared circle.

[KahlerHahn]

nuff said... u nailed it!

Legends

[RIPEGGL]

U don't see great matches like this one nowadays.
