I hope this new angle with laurenitus is over soon. I have not been able to watch a complete Raw or Smackdown in quite some time..

I would't worry about it. WWE all but gave away the fact that he's gonna lose tonight.

Yeah, me too. Has the WWE been successful in driving all memories of Benoit from fans?

Only in the new generation, I think. I would like to hope that most of us who became fans prior to 2006 still know who he is, and can look past what happened to remember the great matches he had.

My favorite match with Benoit is the 2003 Royal Rumble match against Kurt Angle. As close to perfect as it gets, IMO. But my favorite Benoit moment is when he won the title at WMXX.

with WWE putting out a box set covering Taker's streak in July, and with this match being on it, I really feel like I've wasted my money, since, aside from that and Rock/Cena, this Wrestlemania was pretty forgettable, even if it was still better than last year's.

I have every WrestleMania, so unless there's an awesome commentary and perhaps even comments from past opponents included, I probably won't get that set. As for WMXVIII, I thought the Punk-Jericho match was also really good.

I have not been able to get through a whole show so I know I missed this.. Thanks for the heads up.

Laurinaitis "fired" Big Show last week for making fun of his voice. Then, at the end of the show, it was revealed that if anyone interfered in the match, they would get fired and that if Laurinaitis lost, he would be canned as Raw/Smackdown GM.

So in essence, they gave away the end of the match, thus giving absolutely no reason at all for anyone to order it.

Yeah, those two matches are probably among the best matches of all time. Too bad they're not likely to be seen ever again.

Even though I have a couple of Undertaker WM matches on various box sets already, I'll be getting that one because it's got matches I haven't seen.

And as for Over the Limit last night...well, I was right that Show would get involved. Too bad I was wrong about who would win the match.

Is it really any surprise to see him turn heel? He seems to do better in the role.

The whole story with him and Tonsillitis though was disappointing.

That implies ANYTHING involving Tonsillitis is good. And that, simply, is not true.

Not unless you got it on a previously released DVD. Or in my case, VHS.

My top 10 Taker WM matches, in no particular order:

WM13 vs. Sycho Sid
WMXII vs. Diesel
WMXXV vs. HBK
WMXXVI vs. HBK
WMX-Seven vs. HHH
WMXXVII vs. HHH
WMXXVIII vs. HHH
WM21 vs. Randy Orton
WMX-8 vs. Ric Flair
WMXIX vs. Big Show and A-Train

Also, since The Streak is being released on DVD, does that mean it's over? It would be stupid to have this set and then he has another match at WMXXIX. Unless it's a loss.

I just can't watch it now..
I put it on, watched a little of it and after Big show cried that no one had any sympathy for him last week (total bullshit, as everyone was in shock last week) I am done... WWE is not complete crap, I have better shows to watch so I will monitor this thread and when I see the angle is over I will start watching it again.

I don't. The only pre-2007 WWE release I own is "Tombstone: The History of the Undertaker", and there's no Benoit matches on that. (Did they ever work together?) I'd like to think that there may be a change with regard to Benoit, since he appears in two clips in the Best of Nitro set, though not in any wrestling capacity, but I doubt it'll ever happen. Maybe I can find some used DVD's at a shop or something...

It's pretty obvious that Taker's done as a full time wrestler, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a retirement announcement by the end of the year.

I only watched thef rirst ten minutes or so, enough to know that I really don't want to watch it every again, really. Though I did watch enough of the end to want to ask when Tensai stopped being a Lord.
