With [REDACTED], that move he did off the ladder onto Kane wasn’t meant to be a body shot. He’s synonymous with the move “diving headbutt” where he jumps off of something, preferably the top rope, and hits his opponent with his head. But also let it be known that the diving headbutt is a dangerous move that’s known to shorten the careers of the person giving it. Probably why we don’t see it very often in WWE anymore, let alone much anywhere

2024-09-27 04:40:04 +0000 UTCA little short but just pure carnage. Can’t believe this idea is almost 20 years old now! Well I guess Christian is the most forgettable guy of all time. You forgot him twice now lol. Surprised it didn’t click when he and Edge were teaming up for a minute and they said “Edge and Christian have won many tag titles together”. No matter, he’ll be AEW champ soon! lol.

2024-09-27 04:26:52 +0000 UTCI would definitely love to see you watch more Jericho matches, he is a legend of the business and has put on some great matches with some great people

2024-07-07 19:01:05 +0000 UTCI would definitely recommend watching Cutlaholic’s documentary about Benoit. It’s an hour long but it’s pretty informative and well made.

2024-07-02 06:43:37 +0000 UTCYeah the whole Benoit thing is a lot, so look into it on your own time if you’re curious, but it definitely does NOT have to be part of your content if it makes you uncomfortable.

2024-07-02 00:35:45 +0000 UTCshelton benjamin was apart of the legendary ovw(developmental brand) 2002 class that included brock lesner, john cena, randy orton, and batista

2024-07-01 19:28:27 +0000 UTCIt also didn’t help that he came up at the same time as Brock Lesnar, John Cena, Randy Orton, and Batista. Probably the best developmental “graduating class” of all time

2024-07-01 17:56:15 +0000 UTCWhen you were mentioning Christian, you were actually talking about Chris Jericho. Chris Jericho had the purple tights and medium hair. Christian had the shorter hair and tan tights. Also, Edge and Christian were also in another ladder match that you watched. The TLC match at Wrestlemania 17. Edge was the one in that match with the purple tights that speared Jeff Hardy while he was holding on to the titles in the air. At some point, if you decide to watch some Benoit matches, they'll be great. He had a lot of good matched, but it was overshadowed by you know what. This was actually the first PPV my uncle ordered for me that I saw live. I saw Wrestlemania 20 the year before on PPV too, but I accidently ordered that by accident, Still watched it though.

2024-07-01 17:47:26 +0000 UTCIf he was just a bit better at character work, Shelton Benjamin could have been a multiple time world champion. As you saw in this match, he was excellent in the ring, but his character was never that interesting.
Ryan Redd
2024-07-01 17:43:11 +0000 UTCYou mentioned that you remembered Christian from your N64 game, but you actually also saw him as partner of Edge in the TLC Match and as "Christian Cage" at Double or Nothing.

2024-07-01 17:35:15 +0000 UTCAnd no the elimination chamber match that you’re going to watch wasn’t its own ppv. 2010 was the first Elimination Chamber ppv
Phillyman!!
2024-07-01 17:31:29 +0000 UTCYes you did watch a match from WM 21. Shawn vs Kurt angle
Phillyman!!
2024-07-01 17:29:10 +0000 UTCBenoit didn't land on the floor next to Kane his finisher was the diving head butt if you look closely there heads hit each other

2024-07-01 17:28:47 +0000 UTCMITB was held at mania from mania 21-26. After mania 26 they created the ppv and its been held there since and yes you saw Jericho at Double or Nothing

2024-07-01 17:07:26 +0000 UTCOh shit first match of the new week! This Money in the Bank match is arguably still the best. My personal favourite is the one I suggested from Mania 23, but I also love this one. Jericho was announced as being from Manhasset New York and Benoit was announced from Atlanta .Georgia because Vince went through a phase where he thought baby faces couldn’t be from Canada (Jericho was historically announced as coming from Winnipeg and Benoit Edmonton). The match came about because none of these guys had a match for WrestleMania and Jericho pitched the idea for a multi man ladder match. The original prize was a “Hollywood Dream” which Rob Van Dam was going to win and use it to bring back ECW so there was storyline motivation for the reunion show One Night Stand. But RVD got inured and Vince thought the prize should be less nebulous which is where the title match came from. Originally it was just going to be for the next night on Raw but got changed to any time, any place within the next year. And yes, originally the briefcase could only be used on the World Heavyweight Championship as all six of these guys were from Raw. The one RVD won the following year was cross branded, three from Raw and three from SmackDown. Mania 23 was the first MITB Match to have eight competitors and it’s changed back and forth between six and eight. A couple of years it was seven, there was once a five man match and even a ten man match! Shelton was awesome. He was actually with WWE for just under half the time you’ve been watching, he was just never used. He was released at the same time Dolph Ziggler and Mustafa Ali were released. Shelton had left in 2010 and came back in 2017 but was never used in anything meaningful other than Bobby Lashley’s Hurt Business group.
