So upon reading the WWE's new article the 33 best wrestlemania matches ranked
http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/article/33-best-wrestlemania-matches

I noticed that 32nd best match was


What is that A Chris Benoit match? tho the description didnt have anything to say about him still kinda weird seeing a Benoit match there.

Location: Los Angeles
Date: April 3, 2005
Time: 20:08

Why it’s great: These days, the Money in the Bank Ladder Match is an institution. At WrestleMania 21, it was a demolition derby experiment, one that included a flying Shelton Benjamin and concluded with Edge claiming the first-ever Money in the Bank contract.

Jericho invented that: According to Chris Jericho’s book “Undisputed,” the original concept for this match was a “Hollywood Dream Ladder Match” where the winner would have any wish fulfilled. When that idea was nixed, Jericho himself came up with the first iteration of the contract as it exists today.

NO ONE say shit, just let WWE do their thing, and stop giving them a reason to hide their under belly.

I want them to do things for us fans, cause a lot of us liked Benoit's work, but they basically giving him special treatment, and he doesn't deserve it. Just treat him like any other wrestler.....who won a title......at wrestlemania.....in the main event.....oh shit, he's been Hulk'd.

Benoit wasn't just like any other wrestler.

fpalm

I've watched tons of Benoit matches since his double murder, suicide and it's completely understandable and justified for the WWE to never mention the guy that killed his wife, killed his son (reportedly with his own submission hold) and then killed himself.

Double murder. Suicide.

An indirect mention of Chris Benoit by WWE in one of his matches? I'll take it :mark:

That first ever MITB match is a classic. It had a solid ending.



Benoit's selling throughout this match was just awesome though :banderas

Man I wanted Benoit to win that match so badly back then, loved that ending to the match.

Honestly, I know this a very touchy subject, but Benoit did a lot for pro wrestling, I know OUTSIDE of wrestling he was a bad person, a LOT of people were. Stone Cold beat his wife. No I'm not comparing the severity of the things they did but I am saying at that time wrestling was in general a dark and gritty kind of line of work, Benoit was damaged, and the things he did were unforgivable, but I like Benoit the wrestler, maybe not Benoit the person but the wrestler I actually did love watching and was a huge favorite of mine.

Forever baffled by people who want Benoit to be mentioned by WWE. Can you honestly not see why it's a terrible idea to bring him up and/or celebrate his work?

Its been 10 years. Much of the new generation barely remember him. I get not putting him in the hof but he,s a big part of mid 2000s wwe and I'd like to see him mentioned here and there.
