Chris Benoit vs. Brock Lesnar for WWE Title part 1

[TheLast479]

4:55 brock is fucking gay

[BlackHayateSama]

if this is the right match...

I still remember the submission finish, and think that was the only acceptable conclusion to this match

[afdurrell]

I didn't like the way the late Benoit was treated in the WWE. I mean everytime he gets a championship he keeps getting screwed, I wish he champion more than onces. and made more of an in pact on the WWE.

[Chthonian121]

This was an average SD! match back then and is considered a WM maineventing match nowadays

[Johnson6950]

Chris Benoit should be in WWE 12 as dlc

[Moredread25]

Benoit returns January 2nd.

[Chthonian121]

@Moredread25 Can I have some of what you have been smoking?

[ggn3]

Makes one wonder why the quality of many of the WWE's matches, wrestlers and angles have sucked in recent years when you have something like this.

[BlackenedForLife]

Benoit is in a better place now

[maglani18]

thumbs up if your watching this on 2011

[Plantas555x]

@maglani18 I think true wrestling fans will watch this and other good non PG matches for a long time not only 2011 and 2012

[LoyalRaiderFan]

the sad thing is...that the way everything went down...the way it happened...made Chris Benoit persona non grata in wrestling...people will forget how good he really was.

[azizrampage]

@LoyalRaiderFan I haven't forgotten. I will never forget but it's how things ended for him. There should have been more done to help the guy.

[ziteuf]

i remember watching this as a kid and i was like damn what a match. match of the year right there

[sayanroy36]

@ziteuf

funny thing is , this wans't even match of the year, angle-benoit, or angle-lesnar was better....just imagine, what talent they had in smackdown in 2002-2003

[ziteuf]

@sayanroy36 but check out the top comment of this video ;)

[sayanroy36]

@ziteuf

so? exaggeration is always the norm

[hobbesatemyhomework]

I was at this match live, and even though he was a heel, Brock was over huge, and everyone wanted him to win. but by the end of the match, Benoit turned everyone to his side.

[DYCE1722]

great tv match

[ldtd616]

buena lucha chris benoit for ever

[skafan89]

i miss benoit such a good wrestler 

[flightsnhike226]

does anyone have the segment where holly attacked lesnar after a match and tried breaking his neck?

[engabdelhamed]

Benoit is an awsome

[TheFara1979]

lesner really was a good worker hes a great athlete and sold really well

[Tactomanify]

Benoit was the man!

[WASHINGTON4591]

Chris Benoit looks like a small kid against Lesnar, man!

[robibest1]

chris is my favorite wrestler but i died in a fuck up way

[niclair123]

mannnn this takes me way back when smackdown was popping classic match

[21richkid]

Bobby Lashley can wrestle too, also went against the likes of Booker T, Rob Van Dam, Mark Henry, Viscera, Shelton Benjamin, Big Show, Finlay, JBL, and Batista. Jack Swagger can wrestle too, beat the likes of Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio, Christian, Finlay, John Cena, Big Show, Triple H, Kane, Edge. Both of them are as good as Lesnar was in his time in WWE from 2002-2004.

[kingdarius1991]

@21richkid, Nah Lesnar was better than both of them, and has beaten more than half the wrestlers you mentioned. He is more atheletic, stronger, faster, and smarter than both Lashley and Swagger. In fact I don't think anyone in the world could have beaten Brock Lesnar in 2002-2003, not Lashley, Batista, Swagger, Cena, or Goldberg, Kane, Big Show or anyone. He would have ran through them all. In fact he has ran through them all at one point.

[TheSalman5555]

i know chris benoit kill his family but i respect chris benoit as a wrestler. i think we should just remember chris benoit as a wrestler.

[jerichorocker1234]

now this is REAL wreslting to all the PG loving tweeners....... we miss ya Benoit even though you snapped... and Lesnar as well... even though you R happier at uFC

[KenFan4life]

Brock was an epic WWE champion...

No roids.

Could wrestle with Kurt, Benoit, Guerrero

Could keep up with cruiserweights (rey)

Could bodyslam the crap out of giants (bigshow)

Could brawl with Undertaker....etc.

[LosAngeles822]

Benoit did what.? Damn, I never knew that.

Oh well im going to enjoy this match..

I bet he has the devil in the crippler crossface anyways.



[SkiPpEr1561]

WWE Must always REMEMBER Chris Benoit The Wolverine,Wolf

[Malcolmthebeast]

I miss Benoit. He's accomplished so much before he died. Its sad that people are bashing him for killing his wife, son and himself when he had the brain of an 85 year old with Alzheimer's disease. I must say that 2003 was the best year for Benoit and their will never another man that can truly wrestle like him. RIP CHRIS BENOIT

[lovetoact]

This match itself can headline WrestleMania.

[530aftescho]

@lovetoact Agreed! :)

[khanshehzadful]

@lovetoact thats what i always thought

[skinnyvinny3]

HE WAS THE FALLING HEAD BUTT MASTER AN THE CRIPPLER CROSS FACE HE WAS AMAZING.

[oyametalicusII]

@skinnyvinny3 and that headbutt cost him everything....you know that...that's the move that damaged his brain

[TerryMMA85]

why respect benoit after he killed wife and kids then himself.

[JSwanKilowJ]

@TerryMMA85

no one's respecting him for doing that, he's being respected for what he did in the ring.

[Macikro]

@TerryMMA85 As a wrestler he should be. but as a person, people might see him differently.

To me he was one of the best wrestlers, along with Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Rob Van Dam, , AJ Styles, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guerrero, etc.

There might be others, but those stand out in my mind for what they did.

[TerryMMA85]

@Macikro i liked chris as a wrestler but not anymore i just hope he rots in hell

[ozzie0409]

So why does it look like Benoit shit himself in this match?

[Eniyi04]

@ozzie0409 ive been wondering that for a while as well. Was that brown part part of his costume or something?

[Leftlegged1]

I remember when Benoit wasn't all that when he first hit the scene, but in a little while became a badass man known as "The Rabid Wolverine! He was truly a great. He matches were always the bomb, nothing less than his atomic best! R.I.P. Benoit Family!

[kolisionn]

i wish there was a triple threat between benoit, lesnar and angle. man that wouldve been an intense matchup

[50centricher9]

keep repeating at 9:56 watch and listen to the fans reaction

[pratyush189]

rest in peace benoit

[jet4212006]

for people interested that was Justin Roberts(now on RAW) in his early days announcing Chris Benoit name

[titob32]

R.I.P Chris benoit you and your family are in my prayers

[Fontana908]

RIP Chris Benoit

[xxluchianxx]

the matches might b already planned an wat not. but NO ONE can sit there an say some of those slams wouldnt hurt. really. I bet if anyone untrained got slammed by lesnar like he slammed jeff hardy or spike,theyd lay there for a while. its not about who wins. its more or less about the ability these athletes have. cant take that away from them. plus....now brocks doing something real and STILL dominating like he's genetically surperior.

[GarenaSex]

the sad thing about chris is he take steriods and kill his own wife and daughter then suicide

[PyroNonStop]

Alright, the reason why some people are hating on WWE is because they're still trying to hide that it's fake. Otherwise they would say that loud and clear and no one has. A while ago these guys lost their job because they said it was fake. If the company leader tells everyone that it's fake, probably more people would respect it.

[lpfangrk]

@PyroNonStop no, people watch it because they think it is real. i know its choreographed (i dont like using fake), but i watch it because i think of it more as an art form. A great match requires amazing skills, athleticism, and selling. If the WWE said it was fake a lot of people would stop watching it. Its like the santa claus thing, people now its not real but they still go by it, cause its (dare i say) magical

[MzCP11]

@lpfangrk Well said..and for me it doesnt hurt to also see the men damn near naked, lol

[sundayheaven]

What a great match! Never seen Benoit so freaking strong! Wherever you are Benoit, you left your mark in our thoughts. GBY!

[stowy101]

i wanna c batista vs brock lesnar

[MrNeeban]

@snapper

great comment

mane

love it

mane



[bashbro1able]

R.I.P WWE/WWF. 1998-2006 Then...IT came...the force that's destroyed all humanity! It's name is...PG-13.

[snapper842002]

CHRIS BENOIT!

THE RAPID WOLVERINE!

THE CANADIAN CRIPPLER!

THE CROSSFACE CRUSHER!

THE MANITOBA MAULER!

THE TORONTO TERROR!

THE CANADIAN RADICAL!

THE PEGASUS KID!

[mrdavid397]

smackdown had great matches every week back then.

[northcarolinaname]

do they ever break a bone or bleed in wrestling?

[ihatehaircuts1]

@northcarolinaname alot of people say wrestling isn't real, but it's so easy to get hurt, there was an incident in wcw when a superstar came off the 2nd rope, landed awkwardly and snapped his ankle, its on youtube, look it up, it's clearly not fake

[Section9Wannabe]

@ihatehaircuts1 Sid Vicious, then in WCW facing Scott Stiener, SNAPPED his shin bone, not his ankle. Not hating on your comment, just clarifying your statement!!

[ihatehaircuts1]

@Section9Wannabe hah, well thanks for making it a correct statement ;D i don't know much on the subject, i just remember seeing it somewhere :P

[jblcn1042]

@northcarolinaname Oh yeah they do, you bet. Plus a lot of wrestlers work through injuries. Concussions, sprains, tears (look at HHH), breaks, etc. are all very common.But unfortunately as I stated earlier not a lot of wrestlers take time off to heal these injuries for fear of losing their spots and pushes.

[gomevil]

greetings to hell benoit :D

[testi420]

wow.... Chris Benoit... he was such a good wrestler it was scary man.... I miss his intensity.... nobody compares (not even close) to the rabid woverine's energy...

[Inediblehulk]

@Tacjuju No, he had four more years after this on all three brands. His last match on Smackdown TV was on June 8, 2007, against World Heavyweight Champion Edge.

[Tacjuju]

wasn't this Benoits last match on SD?

[ttttooomommmmm]

no offense, i mean i still love chris, but wtf did he shit himself??

[salman12341234]

benoit dead wwe dead

[davidpawar]

back when wwe used to be awesome. I still can't believe what happened with Benoit. one of the greatest of all time but godamn, I can't help but think of what he did everytime I see him preform or hear his name. so tragic

[cbandini]

I don't care what anyone says, I miss both these dudes. This is some real awesome shit!

[OMGWTF31]

I love Benoit this guy was a wrestling machine! the WWE needs to put out a new bluray or dvd set of some more of his matches

[Armando316]

Benoit that night pulled great matches out of Lesnar and Cena that very night. Miss this guy and am very sad at how things turned out for him.

[MrSpiritwrestler]

BENOIT THE BEST EVER!!!!!!

[mj5396]

Did anyone else notice the brown patch in Benoit's crotch around 5:43? Really wierd.

[TheWarrior2Game7]

Beniot was like a pitbull in the ring, always seemed to put on a great match. Beniot's matches against Angle were classics.

[mikest468]

In fact some of the best I will see in my life time. A God among men .

[SuperFreddyKruger1]

both of them never back down

[gham911]

BECAUSE HE'S DEAD!!!

[joshbergg]

why doent chris benoit come to the ufc he gave lesnar a run for his money. who care if benoit got off on raping his family

[sayanroy36]

@joshbergg

because he is dead idiot, dont hate on that fool

[MrRoylatham]

@joshbergg he is dead man,it was a murder-suicide.

[undertakertexas]

Brock Lesnar is much better,

he is the man wiht dreams and hard workout he beileve in hsi self and all coming true!

Here Comes the Pain!

[BlackDragon42]

I just want to add in that OJ got away with it...

I wont ever say Benoit is innocent, but something just doesnt fit right. I wont delve into conspiracy theories. but as retro says. Let us enjoy his wrestling memory. It happened 3 years ago and no matter what. hes gone. and no matter what he wont be acknowledged. let the real fans enjoy his matches and quit babbling about opinions.

[rugal25000]

Two of the biggest wrestlers

[CurrymanProductions]

Ah yes, old Smackdowns.

Back when main event matches had proper endings instead of the Undertaker interfering.

[sagnik489]

Thanks man!!I was lookin for this for a long time!! :D

[rebelwwe]

There's no holding me back...I'm not drivin by fear,im just.. drivin by angerrr and your under attackk.I work out to Benoits theme.haha

[CrazyBenoit2000000]

FUCK WWE! They made a wannabe hench Lesnar beat Benoit, THE BEST FUCKING TECHNCAL WRESTLER EVER - for the wwe title. he should've won this fuckin' match!

[bajan86]

Make him tap benoit

[47mrcool]

i like brocks body. i am no homo

[ImmortalRites84]

Another thing with this match...listen to the crowd yelling and hollaring. You don't hear that anymore out of a WWE crowd.

[twistoffate200]

You really dont, Its sad to see what WWE has become, I mean I have to say TNA beat them Monday :(

[ImmortalRites84]

Hard to believe this was over 6 years ago! I really miss Benoit, regardless of what became of him. That's another story. And Lesnar I'm still a fan of even in UFC. I hope he gets better soon. But seriously here you have 2 wrestlers who could put on a wrestling match. You don't see too much of this these days in WWE.

[rebelwwe]

I don't think benoit did it.He was set up.

[DraftRecords]

@rebelwwe No, Benoit did it. There is NO evidence to prove otherwise. Christ Benoit killed his wife and son.

You can still enjoy his matches, but don't delude yourself to believe some dumb conspiracy.

[rebelwwe]

Have you watched the kevin sullven vids about it?There are some vids on here about it.

[DraftRecords]

@rebelwwe I watched the videos, and your devotion is absurd. How do you explain that (and I can't believe i'm typing this) Sullivan has YET TO BE FOUND OUT? It was a TEN MONTH LONG investigation, something WOULD HAVE SHOWN SOME REASONABLE DOUBT! Explain that!

[rebelwwe]

I'm not going to cyber argue.But things happen all the time like this.For example..they still do not know who Jon benay Ramsey.Or even the zodiac killer.Those investigations were years long.

[DraftRecords]

@rebelwwe Those things do NOT happen "all the time" in this day and age. Your examples are from decades ago. In 2007 technology advanced by LEAPS and BOUNDS to where if there was the SLIGHTEST HINT that Benoit was innocent, it would have come out by now.

If he wasn't the real killer, it would have been ruled out at some point during that ten month investigation. I think you know in your heart of hearts that your hero is a murderer but you don't want to accept it.

[rebelwwe]

They may be decades ago.Howver they still aren't solved.Cold case files.He is NOT my hero in wrestling.That would be goldberg.He didn't even act out of roid rage.He text one of the wrestlers saying he had an family emergency,something was terribly wrong.

[retrograderenegades]

BTW if Goldberg is your wrestling hero that shows you know shit about actual wrestling and explains why you're babbling about conspiracies instead of enjoying a match with two people who know how to wrestle.

[rebelwwe]

But its a clean and smooth set up.His finger prints were on his cell.Anyone could have put some freshly bought gloves on and did that,so that the real killers prints aren't available.The law screws up Lot of times in even the longest investigations.

[DraftRecords]

@rebelwwe A clean and smooth setup? Really? Nobody noticed for THREE DAYS this "set-up" was going on? And there was NO EVIDENCE during this 10 MONTH investigation that pointed otherwise? It's innocent until proven guilty and if you read the facts, you would see that the guilt is pretty evident.

What research have you done OUTSIDE of Youtube?

[rebelwwe]

I actually have done quiet a bit of research about this.Nobody noticed because they thought that benoit had it under control when chavo guererro got the "text"from benoit that there was something wrong.

[retrograderenegades]

Why does every Benoit video on youtube have to turn into a shitty debate about his death, cant you just enjoy his matches. The fact of the matter is he killed his wife, son and self in a double murder suicide. There wasn't any set up, Kevin Sullivan wasn't involved you kids need to get over these conspiracy theories and just appreciate these matches for what they're worth.

[thekingofoakland]

@retrograderenegades Well said good man.

[rebelwwe]

They only caught the copycat zodiac killer by the way.

[rebelwwe]

It's called Was Chris benoit murdered by kevin Sullivan?It doesn't lay the blame,only shows a few things about it.There are 5 vids about it i believe.

[DraftRecords]

@rebelwwe Which is an absurd notion. Seriously, you mean to tell me that you believe Kevin Sullivan murdered Chris Benoit's entire family over a weekend, and that the ten month police investigation that turned NOTHING LINKING SULLIVAN TO THE MURDERS is somehow wrong?

Have you read the actual police report, or are you just going off of YouTube videos that echo the sentiment that you want to believe?

[bladestormviking]

i have watched benoit's career since the early days of japan and mexico. he was HANDS DOWN the best technical wrestler of his time. NO MATTER HOW OR WHY HE LEFT THIS WORLD, YOU MUST RESPECT THE SKILLS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

[bigzz14]

@bladestormviking much respect!! 

[vigilhammer]

chris was one gem in the wwe...i miss seein him in the ring. nowadays the wwe has become a bore

[shadow73851]

benoit was the best,it's soooooooo sad he died

[MarphaHT]

chris is my hero...r.i.p best wrester.

[MEOWCI]

Yeah Chirs benoit is a great technical wrestler!! if only he's still alive, damn he will dominate the wwe!

[00579G47]

Great match!

[kingmarck1]

Chris Benoit really brings it to Lesnar in the early going of this match.

[createsutoo]

Did..?.. the 2 Wrestlers.. have any other Matches. together.?

[KingofMarks91]

Excellent match. Chris is THE legend. Don't be sad that WWE will never put him in the HOF. You wont see Bruno Sammartino in there, but Pete Rose is. That's not a Hall of Fame I'd be proud to enter. Benoit already belongs to a few HOFs, and was inducted before death. Even though some retards decided to put an asterisk beside his name.

[AreeferBROTHA]

well he murdered his family and himself lol. wouldn't be a good look 4 wwe if they did

[mikeyboy7777777]

he suffered brain damage respectless son of a bitch that you are

[dragonballmaster12]

is sad some people still do not stop talking trash about the rabid wolverine

he was one of the best of all time

if you do not see wrestling get the fuck out of here

[jonzombie101]

true dat

[megamatt53]

@dragonballmaster12 plus SOME WOMAN AND KIDS HAVE IT COMING !!!!! GOOD JOB BENOIT !! : )

[Colombian4life83]

@dragonballmaster12 Yes Chris benoit along with kurt angle is one of the best wrestlers of my time.

[mattszaman96]

@dragonballmaster12

its also sad that you celebrate someone who killed their wife and son

[GwydionWhite]

@mattszaman96 fuck you

[TheOSIRIS1000]

you know whats messed up benoits nickname was the crippler

[hectrozzz]

Chris Benoit The Mad Murderer,,Killed his wife and 7 years old son and pepole loves him,,I cant belive it..

[jeremycarrier]

We love his wrestling matches. The man was amazingly talented in the ring, you can't take that away from him.

[jeremycarrier]

...That didn't make a lick of sense. Thats like saying Michael Jordan wasn't a basketball player, he's just some guy who dunked the ball every now and again.

[Uzuchiha08]

You're describing Jeff Hardy.

[mina319]

i love technical wrestlers like benoit lesnar and angle

[wrfrock]

lenser is mr tutrtle

[imurdabeats]

beniot was premium top of the line bad ass.. this reminds me of the matches he had with kevin sulivan.. dunno if wwe woulda let them be that brutle tho.

[WrestlingAddict2009]

This match was great. It made Benoit's victory at 'Mania 20 by Benoit that much sweeter. Because Benoit didn't become champion this time, but didn't tap out.

[DoubleCrossKing]

MUSCLE BUSTAHH!!!

[JEEROI]

I don't understand why people insist on commenting about wrestling being fake and how it's "gay". Seriously, fuck off. If you don't like wrestling, no one's forcing you to watch it.

[jeffhardyrules1w]

thats true

[86markb]

@JEEROI wrestling is fucking gay

[CaptainHowdy187]

@86markb Fuck off and don't click on wrestling videos then, get a fucking life and do things you enjoy instead of trying to impede on other peoples enjoyment just because you're a lonely boring sack of shit!

[86markb]

@CaptainHowdy187 hahaha whats up gangsta nice profile you homo.. tough guy like you outa like real fighting

[CaptainHowdy187]

@86markb whats up marky mark! I enjoy MMA but I also enjoy wrestling and realise that they're 2 entirely different things. Wrestling hasn't claimed it was real since the 80s and has been universally acknowledged as a work since the mid 90s. Wrestling is like a balet, you enjoy it because of the choreography of the matches and the athletic showcases, people like to suspend their disbelief and pretend it's real for the sake of enjoyment like you would a movie. Do you watch movies and say FAKE ?

[ExplodingBeavers]

@86markb Dude w know its fake. We watch it because it's entertaining. Movies are fake too so why do so many people watch movies? When you go to a movie theater do you yell fake trough out the movie? no you dont. because you know its fake but its still entertaining

[xxdiabolicalxxsins]

@86markb STFU

[86markb]

@xxdiabolicalxxsins haha, fuck you u fuckin dork

[86markb]

@xxdiabolicalxxsins go fuck your gay wrestling action figures

[xxdiabolicalxxsins]

@86markb o really now?

[JJHezar]

Chris Benoit made in 2005 I like WWE

I steal like it for Jeff and HBK

I always miss Benoit

A true wrestler

RIP

[KenFan4life]

damn, what's with all the thumbs down?

anyways, yea' Brock managed to keep his own, I liked his match with Undertaker and Eddie more then his matches with Angle and Benoit, dunno why.

[bpatrice49]

THIS IS "WRESTLING!" Hardcore technical ability on display by two premium athletes.

[doug8798]

CHRIS BENOIT AND LESNAR ARE THE BEST

[ChosenOne7685]

Benoit was great, Lesnar was only ok. He never reached his full potenial since he left after only 2 years of wrestling.

[Thablessedbeowulf]

i feel u because brock had so much potential but he never reached it

ufcsucks47 and sweeperisDboss = Moronsï
