I can't help but notice that sheer number of crowd signs. Look at them! There's got to be thousands! Nowadays, there's maybe one or two and the camera has to zoom in to catch them.
@empirestateofgrind Smackdown is few the same like always man. It had nothing to deal with time or day. It was PG on smackdown because they were on national television and not cable TV. WWE was never was TV-M just TV 14. And yeah they had great wrestling and wrestlers and better creative team so its not about the PG or TV14 rating. Its about who's on it and how they do their job. U can put the guys that was there in the late 90s and early 2000s and they will make the show better
6:10-6:18 chris was 1 of the main guy that were strong.. he was john cena strong but not brock lesnar strong.. WWE/WWF just sold him as not being very strong...
@rellick123 Benoit was a roid freak... He was unnarturally proportioned and it showed.. Thats why after he Murdered his family and then committed suicide like a coward the wwe implimented a roid check up program to prevent certain deaths like his and eddies who was also on roids... Yeah he was strong... but the strength wasn't his..
@VinnyLT9000 and if i think about it.. just about all the wwe.wwf superstar has taken sum type of roids.. even sum of the smallest.. (evan born) but he didnt take a lot... the the bigest (big show) didnt take tht much but he knows he has.. and strongest(bobby lashley/brock lesnar) who has taken jus too much.. chris was around the "strongest men" mark the. The thing tht didnt mke him look like them is his hight..
do you have the match they had on smackdown before king of the ring 2000 where rikishi won the IC title clean? Benoit and Rikishi had many matches around this time
These were the days that the arenas were actually PACKED, every other person had a sign, and the controversies/drama were GREATNESS. I don't know what kind of crap we have now but this is the good stuff.
This was one of the first wrestling matches I remember seeing so it'll always have a special place in my heart haha. Didn't hurt I was a big fan of both Benoit and Rikishi at the time.
Yeah, i miss Benoit soo goddamn much. Personally I think Benoit started taking steroids after he left the WCW and jumped to the WWF along with Guerrero, Malenko and Saturn. I guess WWF was the best out of WCW and ECW and Benoit wanted to blend in perfectly as the top dog with the vains popping out of his arms. I sure do miss him, the WWF era, and the Radicalz.
That looked more like a stink neck. This was the 1st time I've seen a northern lights suplex finish of an intercontinental title defense. !st time I've seen a wwF match end with a northern lights.
holy shit he sulpexed that fat fuck like there was no tomorrow and in the end, isn't that what he really wanted?
