Guest Dave7g Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Just noticed this interesting titbit There is a Chris Benoit interview at http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2003560001-2006220335,00.html defending WWE for the use of Eddie Guerrero in storylines. Of course the point they brought up was JBL doing the Guerrero dance in the Mania match with Benoit, which was just a spot to build to another spot in a match. He said he was fine with what was done in his match. He said he was happy with the match itself, although wished he was given more time. He also talked heavily about how much he misses Guerrero. He also said he has not signed a new contract with WWE and put over the debut of Harry Smith. Maybe we will get Joe vs Benoit sooner than expected?

Guest The B-Man Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Be certainly interesting if Benoit just showed up at a TNA event for sure. I can in no way see it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I like how the fact Benoit was fine with JBL imitating Eddie was conveniently ignored in order to suggest Benoit was going to TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MrFill Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Shhhh, Benoit MIGHT be going to TNA, even though he hasn't yet. Oh, and he was fine with JBL's actions during their match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave7g Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I like how the fact Benoit was fine with JBL imitating Eddie was conveniently ignored in order to suggest Benoit was going to TNA. Well since that didn't interest me in the slightest, I ignored it. Did you expect him to say anything about it when nobody else has? He is still being paid by WWE, and they tell him what to do, I'm 100% sure he isn't comfortable with any of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Crow Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 He's still not going to TNA. He's already said that he's a WWE-4-lifer, and has a road agent/trainer spot waiting for him when he retires. Not to mention, Benoit v Malenko at ONS is still on the table, so he has that to look forward to. Take a little of the bad to finally get to the good.

Guest Kanenite Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Don't get your hopes up for Joe vs Benoit really, like Mr P said is Joe coming to WWE because Benoit won't leave after his latest comments on the company. After some dream killing, personally I just thought the JBL Eddie shimmie thing was stupid, a complete waste of time and it didn't make a difference at all for me.

If he doesn't understand that he should run a petting zoo or something. Sports entertainment is supposed to be controversial and sometimes offensive.

Guest Danny Styles Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 well if TNA know he's contractless they should talk to him and just let make him an offer, it's not like WWE is doing much with him now TNA have nothing to loose by talking to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 it's not like WWE is doing much with him now Oh Only a Trainer & Road Agent job when he retires, not much though, im sure he'd rather go work for TNA for alot less money..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MrFill Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 If it was the Benoit of the mid 90's then I'd agree. If Benoit wasn't working under the WWE style restrictions, then I'm sure he'd be pulling out insane moves all over the place. I'd LOVE to speak to him outside of a WWE controlled environment and ask him a few questions about what he thinks of the WWE, and see if he can be honest.
