Was Breaking Point that awesome all over the arena brawl?
Also, lack of Benoit/Edge (might have been the same year as the tragedy in Orlando) on people's top 5 lists is disheartening.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Yes it is, the insane Submission Falls Count Anywhere match with an insane Montreal crowd. Really liking it so far.
Benoit/Edge, as in Benoit's last great match on SD? Yeah, I enjoyed that too, but not exactly Top 5 material in my books.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Been awhile since I've seen Benoit/Edge, but I remember it making my top 10 Smackdown matches list I did a few years ago.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Benoit's last ever Smackdown match with Edge is great but not top 5 material.
It is his fourth last match. Followed by the draft match with Lashley, the tag match w/ Punk against Elijah Burke/Marcus and then the final match he had with Elijah Burke. Was a good way to end his career in-ring career but he deserved a better opponent before the tragedy.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
He deserved to still be alive quite frankly.
(not if the tragedy occurred, but you get my drift.)

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
Well at least Good Ol' Elijah Pope can brag out there that he was Chris Benoit's final opponent ever, which, regardless of the 07 tragedy and whatnot, should be an honor to any wrestler ever.
Breaking Point 09: DX vs. Legacy - ***3/4. DAT INSANITY.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
It's too bad he tarnished his honorable moment by completely being a terrible worker in his matches vs Punk. ECW Botchamania was born out of his magnificent work.

Most definitely.

Being the final opponent of a legend in Benoit's level is one of the biggest honors anyone could have in the wrestling business. Specially since most legends retire in "big time" matches against fellow stars. (HBK vs Taker for instance)

Can't argue with this. Another examples are ADR being Edge's final opponent ever, and Anderson being Eddie's last too. Quite the honors for those guys.
Thoughts on The Rock vs Goldberg @ BL 03? |
