Still a great DVD. If you’re not like me and don’t have a black heart, I’d skip the documentary and just watch the great matches.
Maybe I will end up doing that. I’m going to wait till later to watch this with my cousin, who is the biggest mark I personally know besides myself. We’re also going to get massively baked with natural substances that Heath Slater, Evan Bourne, and R-Truth all wish would have done instead of Spice ;) Maybe that will help…
Today’s Amoeba purchase #2 of 2: Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit DVD (2004 —WWE)
Making the decision to buy this was difficult. I, like millions of fellow pro wrestling fans was disappointed, shocked and disgusted with Benoit and his final actions. But not long ago this monster was but a man that worked his ass off to get to the top of his industry, and becoming one of the greatest athletes wrestling has ever seen, and will never see again. This is going to be a very difficult watch.
Here is an excerpt from a U.S. Government interview with Stephanie McMahon. Click here (PDF) to read the complete interview.
Q: I just want to clarify, when you were talking about your current champions a little while ago, you mentioned CM Punk and his image being a clean wrestler and somebody who doesn’t do drugs, doesn’t drink alcohol. When was CM Punk made a champion?
A: I’m really not sure. I would say within the last year. It was recent.
Q: Was it following the death of Mr. Benoit?
A: Yes, it was. Ironically, Mr. Benoit was supposed to become ECW champion that night, and he didn’t show up at the pay‐per‐view because he was dead.
