Randy Orton Vs. Chris Benoit Part 3/3

[JunoHakkeSho]

One of saddest part of my life when Chris Benoit lost the title :\

[meiinuyasha]

This match changed my life and i became the Rko fan for life

[BruceBurnett]

Gotta respect Chris Benoit. Who else would put over a heel in a clean finish?

Hate that Randy's momentum after this historic win was just sidelined in less than a month but thankfully he has been given a chance in his later years & has proven to be a credible champion!

Kudos to both men for an outstanding display of real WRESTLING!

[BarnecleThe]

I remember that. I was so shoked Randy win that Match!

[MsEmmalawson]

no one tat night wud hv thot tat orton wud beat benoit....real real shocker

[TheChillOne1]

He had so much momentum. Making him drop the belt completely messed up Orton for a while.

[Cyrptos]

@TheChillOne1 I know just think how far he would of went up if he defeated HHH in 2004

[ac98521]

Rise of the legend killer

[shaun0103]

one of the biggest shockers in wwe history

[TheMatias1313]

Chris benoit is the best

[TheRequiemOF1995]

I want the Legend Killer not The Viper

[LegendKingY2j]

@TheRequiemOF1995 legend killer died when he fighted against the undertaker :D

[theeGLAMstarr09]

Be a man! BE A MAN!!

[bother100]

Hope this type match be more in wwe

[AandZLog]

jerry lawler was so on randy's side

[mouzezhijazi]

You rarely see wrestlers as tough as Chris benoit is! you rarely see people shake hands with their rivaries after losing their title!! Chris Benoit is definatly the best man ever!! He had great dignity, he was honest and amazing!! R.I.P Chris Benoit! I wish people were like Benoit! Benoit Proves that he not a soar loser! I love you Chris Benoit!

[sortman94]

i miss the days when heels werent pussies and won matches cleanly.

[Bearsfan215]

I want this randy orton back

[Menace2Sociaty1]

back when the world heavyweight championship was the most prestigeous belt *sigh

[JSelby]

I love how Hebner tries to raise his hand for a solid 8 minutes...

[FaydeG]

When Randy Orton shook his hand, and chris benoit was saying, "BE A MAN" After that day, Randy Orton became a man by leaving Evolution.

[issakhanraja]

heheh Randy will be doing the same, he will give the title & honer to my boy D Bryan ;)

[airgilbert]

Before Randy became boring

[mtomic30]

This match proves the oldest rule of Wrestling and all other sports: the winner is not one who was better during entire match, but the one who hit final blow. Benoit was better during 99% of the match but it was Orton who hit last hit

[KaientaiINDEED]

@mtomic30  very true

[NoBrianNoGain]

OUT...OF...NOWHERE

Baddabing, baddaboom, badda BANG

[21richkid]

Benoit and Guerrero would gone to TNA Wrestling or ROH Wrestling since they have smaller schedules and it could have prevent them from dying not like the WWE. Current WWE let Undertaker or Shawn Michaels get time offs due to being loyal to the company for years, Kurt Angle on the other hand made a right decision to leave for TNA since he can wrestle on a light schedule.

[suleman021]

This is the Orton I'll remember

[jubjubmh316]

get goosebumps everytime

[TheIrishEnigma]

This was a really rare event, heels almost never win big fights cleanly, and they almost certainly never win title matches cleanly, but Randy Orton did.

[benjamintherocker15]

see at 6:12 randy orton has a lot of respect for chris benoit may his soul RIP

[sc30002001]

@BeerSlayer863 WWE is nothing but a Disney channel and John Cena's hogging the spotlight. The matches and storylines suck, back when Eddie and Benoit were alive the era was great championships and careers had meaning. Now its all gone to shit titles being whored around John Cena and his fruity pebbles stupid storylines that dont make since. WWE died with Eddie and Benoit and if they were still here todays talent wouldnt even match them.

[BeerSlayer863]

@sc30002001 Ok, YOU MAD. Go troll someone else. Can't take you serious at all. "Eddie and Benoit IF they still were here today" would be so much more talented. What a stupid ass comment. You speak impossibility and Randy Orton and CM Punk would hang right there with them regardless. Eddie himself would fucking kill Benoit himself if had the chance to come back and do it. Eddie was a good man. Benoit was a god awful coward bitch. Period. The WWE is still the best wrestling company on this planet.

[sc30002001]

@BeerSlayer863 I aint mad have fun watchin the PG crap we have today stop hating on Benoit. Benoit and Eddie will forever be the heart and soul of WWE.

[BeerSlayer863]

@sc30002001 I will! Chris Who? Benoit? *crickets* Exactly.

[fleshnbone187]

@BeerSlayer863 You are a fucking idiot. If Eddie was alive, Benoit and his family would have also been alive. Chris himself said that whenever he had personal problems, he would turn to Eddie and he would talk him out of doing something stupid. When Eddie died, he had no one to turn to and therefore did a dumb thing and snapped, ruining his reputation in the process.

RIP Eddie & the Benoit family.

[Nation4202007]

Last PPV I ordered I think. One of the most historic PPV's, matches and moments ever

[reesreverse]

I wish I was Randy Orton at the end of that 3 count. I really do. Because at that moment, he became a legend.

[SouthKiwiAfrican]

Fucking legendary!!

[j19527]

Randy was crying because Chris was the last of the greats, like the Macho Man, Eddie Gerrero. Anyone can win, only few can be a MAN. DONT disrespect that!

[crocodiliusz]

randy is close to being the man, hes #2 to cena right now.

[Menace2Sociaty1]

@crocodiliusz cena's no longer the man CM punk is now the face of the company

[crocodiliusz]

you've have to be pretty delusional to think that

hierarchy=cena>orton>hhh>punk

[Menace2Sociaty1]

@crocodiliusz no CM punk is the champion and has replaced cena who is no longer in the title picture but is fueding with kane while orton is putting over young talent

[crocodiliusz]

john cena is the guy, and always will be until he leaves for vacation or something and even when he comes back he'd be the guy. ffs dude he decided he was in the main event at wrestlemania a year in advance.

[Menace2Sociaty1]

@crocodiliusz ya true but the rock is the star of the main event, not cena it's because cena is the figurehead of the PG era and the rock wants to layeth the smacketh down on his candy ass, but CM punk was in the main event at TLC whereas cena didn't even have a match booked that night and cena hasn't been doing really anything spectacular on raw usually he is ALWAYS in the main event but now the spotlight is moving to CM punk, also punk made superstar of the year

[crocodiliusz]

nah, Cena is the guy. being blind to a FACT doesnt change it.

also: T L C kind of sucked. i mean CM punks end to that match

was cool but the whole event was so.."meh"..

i kept hoping kane would come and beat up mark henry but no..

its daniel brian, a guy who has never beat a substantial opponent, as champion...

the only way he'll hold his title is by DQing alot or something.

it should be Sheamus and/or Kane in his place. he's more of an IC title

with cody rhodes kind of guy.

[Menace2Sociaty1]

@crocodiliusz well maybe character wise daniel bryan isn't that great but out of character bryan danielson will out-wrestle sheamus and cody rhodes and ya I agree I was hoping to see kane attack henry too I don't know why they put him in an angle with cena and 'till this day I am still waiting on the debut of brodus clay but I thought TLC was pretty damn good but as I was saying cena might be the merchandise guy but punk is the most over with the crowd

[crocodiliusz]

why the fuck do you care about brotus clay? hes just

another fat guy that gets to beat everyone.

at least mark henry has earned his position

and is strong enough to own people.

[crocodiliusz]

also: if you think cm punk has more fans than

cena youre delusional. i still find it funny that people

hate cena for no reason and i hope he gets a heel

turn back to chain-cena ;D

[Menace2Sociaty1]

@crocodiliusz because brodus clay is a young superstar who doesn't have a model body and make a running crossbody look like a believeable finisher, I can't fuckin stand mark henry I've hated him for years he cuts boring promos which usually end with him gettin his ass knocked out by big show and he doesn't deserve to be the top heel on smackdown but I also hope they turn cena heel and have him lose matches cleanly and punk might not have more fans than cena because there are more women and

[crocodiliusz]

hes not young or a superstar, he appeared in a couple matches

as del rio's henchmen from what i recall. also, mark henry makes a great bad guy because you believe it. he IS a bad man. i loved the other night when the crowd was chanting "sexual chocolate". its also a huge misconception that all cena fans are kids.

im not a kid and i like john cena, but more than that i respect how hard hes worked and still works for his position. he was fuckin fighting angle and lesnar in 2000s

[Menace2Sociaty1]

children in the world than grown men and I never hear punk get booed anymore and I constantly hear cena get booed because cena has no fans that were around for the attitude era while punk is the best in the ring, best on the mic, best on commentary, best in the world dude he's my personal favorite whether he's face or heel with orton being a very close 2nd

[LgKQC91]

@Menace2Sociaty1 hell fucking no! even though punk is more popular right now, he will never be THE MAN! he'll always be third wheel to cena and orton. btw, this is a match between orton and benoit. so why the fuck are we talking about cena and punk!?

[Menace2Sociaty1]

@LgKQC91 ya that is true, I love this match

[ELFofSuju13]

Chris Benoit is the man!! and I'm proud of Randy.. T.T

[hardy4manson]

benoit was better!

[HBKvsTazMUDM]

4:52, one of my favorite moments in WWE history

[raoulhery]

back then being world champ means a lot! now there is a new champ every mouth

[Spidey7747]

One of my favorite moments in WWE

[KingRico82894]

what made randy the man here is that he beat benoit BY HIMSELF without evolution

[johnnycage435]

@KingRico82894 ikr i always say that hhh always lost to benoit

[157JKA]

chris benoit, was the most boring champion ever

[Sachish123]

@157JKA either usa or canada benoit always get the cheer,he is one of the best technical wrestler of alltime,you calling it boring!!!

[neojimmy721]

chris benoit, was the only wwe superstar to congratulate his opponent after a defete for the wwe championship....

[cutlass961]

@neojimmy721 Wrong Hulk congratulated Warrior after Hogan lost the belt.

[rubiolox]

And so my kids, this is how randy orton became a self depending wrestler and became really cool

[TheIrishEnigma]

@rubiolox Eh, he didn't really start taking off until 2005-2006, he got a lot of props for his match against the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 21, and then in early 2006 became a psycho heel.

[sparrosparro]

No im watching this in 1535

[fukdagers2334]

funny when jr says long at 6:28 u see orton boner

[MEOWCI]

Wow why does everytime benoit does a diving headbutt he got nailed to the skull either by a knee or a feet of his opp? doesnt that hurts? I knw wrestling is fake and all that but seriously WTF?

[yao8]

he cried because Benoit told him to be a man.

[DAPDave]

"...and AUGUST 15th is a day that will live in Randy Orton's mind FOREVER!"

Really sucks that WWE won't recognize this match because of Benoit.

[krai999]

@DAPDave too bad this wouldn't be on the dvd

[DAPDave]

@krai999 Yeah, it's NOT on the new Randy Orton DVD, which sucks.

[That1GuyNamedjay]

OMFG SAME AS LAST COMMENT, I GET GOOSEBUMPS STILL TOOO!!! ORTON IS ONLY REASON I CHECK IN ON WWE.COM LOL :)

[mirtom82]

On this day Randy Orton became only second third generation wrestler who won World Heavyweight Championship. First person to do that was The Rock while it was still officcialy WCW title during Invasion in 2001.

[mirtom82]

It is little known fact that Evolution is only stable in history of wrestling whose all members were World Heavyweight Champions at some point, even though only Triple H was it while being member of Evolution. Ric Flair, of course, won title record 16 times, Batista was champion 4 times (when he won it first time he became longest reigning champion in history), Triple H won it 5 times and Randy Orton won it 3 times (of course, he is current champion).

[mirtom82]

There is absolutely no excuse for what Benoit did in 2007, but WWE was unfair to him in end. He does deserve to be inducted into Hall of Fame and does deserve to be returned to records of professional wrestling.

[mirtom82]

This was Benoit's first defeat in 2004. Unofficially he broke Kurt Angle's undefeated streak from 1998

[IKMusic16]

makes me sad knowing this wwe is gone... 

[EliteKing506]

Quick question guys, cause I can't remember way back then but how did Orton become the #1 contender? Didn't he win a tournament? Thanks

[wsymphony]

@EliteKing506 He won a battle royal

[1993majinvegeta]

Man, I had missed Summeslam and instead waited for RAW to come on next day. I was ready to hear Benoit's music, and say "yes!Orton got it again". Then I heard Lilian say "Please welcome your new WHC, Randy Orton!" and I was like 'No Fucking Way!!" Then when Orton smiled something cracked in me...and I became his fan. :)

[Emmy5839]

Like if u are Watching this in 2011

[sampad01]

I miss benoit. This is a historic match. Randy was the better man that night but Beonoit was the bigger, the elder. Awesome match,

[grburch]

All these years later, and Orton is still boring and horrible.

[ReMexXxXx]

@grburch you are still boring and stupid so?

[grburch]

@ReMexXxXx Oh? It's my fault the mistress of the RGayO has to be booked as a methodical pseudo snake because he's not dynamic or innovative enough to put together a credible, intriguing offense? The Cunt Punt is a joke, and so is the RGayO.

[ReMexXxXx]

@grburch i don't know what you just said but xD i don't give a shit you are boring and stupid :)) xD still !

[grburch]

@ReMexXxXx So, you've tapped out and admitted defeat. Good on you.

[ReMexXxXx]

@grburch ok dude you win :)) GL

[cradiIy]

Why Benoit's brain matched an Old Alzheimer's patient are eXPLAINED here

[quinsborou]

CHRIS BENOIT WAS BETTER THAN RANDY ORTON

[The1En4ser]

"Orton slipped out of the cross-face. He rolled through it the second time, and OH MY GOD!!!!! RKO OUT OF NOWHERE! RKO OUT OF NOWHERE!!"

Gota love JR.

[727Superstar]

1:28 it all begins

[chris939352]

it should've been y2j vs chris benoit for the world title at summerslam 2004, not orton vs benoit, just look what happened, orton retained once and lost it less than a month later and didn't win a title for another 3 years, that show that even though he made history, he would then be misused, not being champion for 3 years must suck

[wwerules70000]

At 4:27 Orton looks at the belt and probably thinks "but its mine now"

[wwerules70000]

Orton entered with 2 elbow pads and no championship title. And he leaves with no elbow pads and the World Heavyweight Title

[jatrap1]

500th like

[ovafiend]

and then in the following month they killed off any momentum he had. What they shouldve done is make Randy Orton take over Evolution and kick Triple H out of the group and have a face triple h chase a heel orton for the belt. It wouldve put Orton on a bigger pedestal.

[txdrummer100]

randy orton is awsome but right now christain is the true world hevaywight champion

[BeerSlayer863]

Benoit yelled at Orton to be a man, but he (Benoit) went out a coward.

[PissyThePissedOff]

@BeerSlayer863 AHAHAHA. That made my day

[sc30002001]

@BeerSlayer863 STFU WWE'S TALENT TODAY CANT HOLD A CANDLE TO EDDIE AND BENOIT

[sc30002001]

@BeerSlayer863 u probably shit on michael vick to dont u u dumb ass Benoit should be remembered and WWE sucks balls today

[Dvoda1985]

the legend killer is a legend

[nanno974]

be a men and now thath men is a viper lol

[TheY0shiMan]

chris benoit has a great sportsmanship if that was some else i bet they would of atk randy orton but benoit was man enough to congratulate him

[HammettJR1992]

If only the commentators nowadays had the passion and emotion like this :D

[JonathanBones]

The way JR talks about Benoit being a credit to the business and what-have-you at the end gives me a good chuckle.

[PrinceOfPersiaDahaka]

@apacalex hahahaaahaa :D

[Apacalex]

i lost so much money on this match

[krai999]

@Apacalex sooo you gonna bet on bryan not winning the world title to get your money back?

[coolkenny13]

jr and his orgasms

[bizzybone951]

crazy ass beniot he should have never killed himself he did too many headbutts

[TopGunna88]

@23ClevelandCavalier I'll Get Ortons DVD still it jus sucks the reason why this match wont be on it because its benoit

[Nessmaster100]

a heck of a match

[tmh111899]

yay orton won the title :)

[ryanhitmanfury]

Watched this live. The very night I fell out of wrestling.

[cradiIy]

THIS is how Randy is SUPPOSED to look like. Not some babyface bearded cheerleader he is now

[DemonKingMMA]

@cradiIy LOL, Bearded cheerleader.

[KANETHEPAIN93]

RIP Chis Benoit, this was his biggest run in the WWE as world champ and he gave Orton his first world title without bitching or moaning... And the later Triple H would of course just have to end Orton's reign as world champon a few weeks later, that say's it all for me

[TopGunna88]

IT PISSES ME OFF THIS WONT BE ON RANDY ORTONS DVD

[23ClevelandCavalier]

@TopGunna88 Really? It was the best moment of his career. Thats too bad, but I'll still get it.

[scarvello]

RIP Benoit u r missed... I remeber this night I was watching at the edge of my seat.!!! and to all the Benoit haters u all only know one side of the story of what happened u cant judge benoit only God can

[TheSalman5555]

amazing match

i really miss benoit

[blazingsports]

mamamamamamy 0:26 RANDY SAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[TheMikx29]

benoit was vicious as hell but always showed respect

[OregonCM]

This is just one of the coolest moments in WWE history, in my opinion.

[pein260]

if not for Jim Ross calling this match, the impact is reduced by 2000%

[UrameshiCdd]

"OMG! RKO OUT OF NOWHERE!"

And so it began...

[cheshaon11]

randy orton is da best

[cheshaon11]

randy orton is da best

[DLongmuir16]

This is still the only time I have seen a heel win a World Championship cleanly.

[MoonKeepa]

@DLongmuir16 oh its real its damn real thats 100% right!

[BruceBurnett]

@DLongmuir16 Up until Mark Henry's win at Night of Champions right?

[jb112011]

shocking moment

[MrSteelersfan2401]

Randy earned this victory

[shankdic94]

so i figured it out up til 2005 wwe/wwf was awesome, after well its got really shitty

[superpoytya]

I remember that during those days I was in High school and my friends used 2 watch WWE results before the telecast, I used to live in India and in India atleast in 2004, the wwe telecast used to be 3 weeks after it would be telecast in USA, so my friends who had internet connection used to watch the results online beforehand and guess what one of our friends told us- Randy Orton Won- and boy I was soooo shocked, i was like wtf, how did orton win?? but i was happy :)

[ZachWootenBrand]

I STILL get goosebumps when the Ref counted that 3 and Orton was declared World Champ.. NEVER gets old.

[SharikTheReal]

@ZachWootenBrand I read the comment before watching the vid, and said "yeah I remember getting emotions on that, but come on, isn't he exaggerating?" , I then watched the vid and got goosebumps, and said "ok I'm thumbing that guy up" xD

[cmpunkfan2003]

@ZachWootenBrand why? orton sucks.

[ZachWootenBrand]

@cmpunkfan2003 sucks or not. when someone makes such of an accomplishment if your a real wrestling fan you can't help but to have somewhat goosebumps when something like this happens.

[jayleda123]

yeah randy orton won the world championship go randy orton

[RefugeeLcci]

BE A MAN RANDY!!!!.... Randy is the MAN you child murdering, wife killing suicidal lunatic.

[shankdic94]

@RefugeeLcci you do know it was apart of script, right?

[itachi2113]

@RefugeeLcci He had brain damage dumbass L0l and Chris Benoit is #1

[RefugeeLcci]

@itachi2113 BOOOOO, you're a proud supporter of child murdering, wife killing suicidal lunatics. Shut your face

[MoonKeepa]

@RefugeeLcci you shut ya mouth was u there when he did the murders NOOO so u shut the f up slapnut!

[RefugeeLcci]

@MoonKeepa that doesn't justify anything you idiot. Shut your mouth. You're an insignificant part of this world that should be exterminated for believing in a man that represents child murdering and wife killing. Be proud of your low life, unintelligent, subhuman way of thinking. Good bye! =)

[MoonKeepa]

@RefugeeLcci hey listen up didnt u just read what i wrote I SAID WAS YOU THERE WHEN HE DID THE MURDERS U motherfuckeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[xbox360steve]

i prefer this orton he's gone shit now, orton is made to be heel

[sm08ale]

la lucha mas dura de orton



[illlcrazymethod]

i remember being sooooo shocked when a young (albeit talented) guy like randy orton actually beat the veteran chris benoit cleanly. in my opinion, one of the more shocking title changes in recent history.

[Sakibully]

say whatever you want about Chris Benoit the man...... you can't take away the fact that Chris Benoit the wrestler was the best at what he did.

[1993majinvegeta]

@Sakibully Hallelujah on your words. Besides, when people have not lived what Benoit has lives through his life, they will always talk and talk...but they will never EVER know what truly happened...that is why I don't listen to them :)

[gengarjetty]

"vintage crhis benoit" .. ha ha! cole's a thief!

[cjdiverson]

Jim Ross' reaction when Randall hits the RKO is quality. Great finish to the match. Thanks for posting this.

[TheNutta45]

We even had 'RKO out of nowhere' back then...

[SteveAugeriRocks]

I don't think anybody really expected Randy Orton to win tonight

[kalka69]

if i was a wrestler the only guy i would not want to fight would be benoit :S

[zathomas1930]

an epic moment for the best in the wwe

[AuTToTune]

1:29 epic!!!!!! OMG LOL
