LowerCaseRepublican Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 QUOTE(Brian @ Jun 26, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) Striker does a good Piper impersonation. He also does a great Warrior impersonation, as he did on Byte This when they were burying the Warrior with the DVD release. And for the Piper cake spot with Striker, ::cues the Don West voice:: IN THE FACE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Pratt Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I'm really not a fan of deleting Benoit forever from the WWE. I'm not a fan of kicking someone out of the HOF in any realm just because of something terrible, even something like this. It's an integral part of the company's history, and Benoit's been a very important part of wrestling history. Besides, I think he's mentally ill, and the drugs whacked him out, which I believe the toxicology report will show. It kind of annoys me to see them change Wrestlemania XX from 3ple threat to "HHH versus HBK" on their marketing page. That's just not right. I understand why they're doing it, I guess, but I hope it doesn't last FOREVER. Years, maybe, but eventually, someone has to talk about Benoit as a sick man who needed help instead of pretending that he was an Eric Kulas-type.

First of all, let's wait for the facts to come out on his mental state at the time of this, and second, there have been millions of mentally ill people who didn't murder their family and kill themself out of nowhere. If WWE never acknowledges his existance again, nobody could blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a case of damage control and CYA right now for the E. They're taking it on all sides from ignorant motherf***ers and opportunist morons.

Gregory Pratt Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I can blame them. I think people who like to pretend that important people existed because they did something incredibly awful are cowards. We'll see what comes of Benoit's mental state. Though we won't ever really KNOW what was on his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I know, and I understand taking him down short-term but if in twenty years they still pretend he never existed, and they've rewritten Wrestlemania XX and other things, something's seriously wrong.

Though we won't ever really KNOW what was on his mind. Yeah I can see both sides of it to be perfectly honest. You can't just forget all the things he did in wrestling because of this terrible crime, but it's hard to seperate his wrestling career and end of his life. Time heals all wounds though, I'd guess as time goes on they won't just eliminate his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave Adam Pearce a huge "Repo Man" chant at the last show (cuz he has the body type and face that he legit looks like the Repo Man) so much that he actually pulled out the Repo Man style mask and put it on. This Jeff Hardy thing does take the cake though. The s***ting on of Shane Douglas was also pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some good ability and was involved in one of the more important moves in the wrestling world (The Night the Line Was Crossed) and was a decent stable leader. He wasn't amazing but was pretty good. Then again, booking of a Viagra on a pole match doesn't help anybody involved. Then again, at least it wasn't a Judy Bagwell on a pole match.
