Weird times for a 9 year old

I haven’t seriously watched it in well over a decade and I can trace that falling off point to that specific point in time.

I remember not thinking much about the beginnings of the storyline, but I'll admit that I was hooked once I saw that limo explosion that night. It was so seamless and well done. I feel like if it had been WCW doing that the door would have closed and the limo sat for a second or two and then exploded. The seamless timing of the door close with the explosion made you "believe" that Vince was in there and not just a cut to pre-taped footage. As corny as it probably would've been in the long run, I remember being disappointed when the story was dropped. At least we still have that sweet limo explosion!

bruh i remember watching that vengeance ppv live at a friend's house (it was a watch party) and when Morrison (then nitro) came out, i was really confused. i was looking forward to the match with benoit and punk, they were both really good at the time. after i found out he died the following night, then watched ecw and found out WHAT happened, let's just say it was a really harsh rollercoaster of emotions i was dealing with. i will admit i was a huge benoit fan, and seeing his matches still excited me a lot at the time, but gdi it was hard to look past that at the time. now i just don't really think about him anymore outside of RtW when he's brought up, nor do i care about the man. as for what could've happened had the angle gone through? i'm not super sure how i'd have booked it, but it really feels like all fingers point to kennedy getting a major push, and tbh i don't feel like he was the right guy for it. i was never enthralled by his work, and his gimmick got old fast. i think personally ending the storyline there was the right call.

One thing I'll never understand: By the time of WrestleMania 25, Benoit had pretty much been scrubbed from existence. Yet, if you went to Axxess that same year, there was the limo, in all it's exploded glory.

Even as an 11 year old kid in 1997, I always thought to myself that I’d make better storie lines for the wrestlers and just in general make the best out of the situations.. 25 years later and I wish I’d of just wrote a letter to vinny Mac and tell him to take a break while I boost them ratings 😂

I could've swore there was a word for something like this...oh yeah, Hotshotting. Your ratings drop, and to appease the shareholders, you throw everything at the wall to see whst sticks, it's all for a short term solution. If any 1 good thing came out of the Benoit family tragedy, it's that it put an end to this.

Fantasy booking, one month investigation leads to Paul London being the mastermind. Paul gets treated like a heel but the crowd loves him. Vince comes back in October and beats Paul London senseless, putting him on the shelf. London comes back at Royal Rumble, goes into the Wrestlemania main event and wins the title. Next night on Raw, they show a shower curtain. Behind the shower curtain is Patrick Duffy.

Wow i don't think i could ever Not like a video that Ryan makes for this channel. No matter how much i've heard about the topic or didn't care enough to learn about the topic i still find myself really enjoying whatever video pops up on Wrestling Bios. In this instance i learned more about this angle than i had previously known, it really was smart to cover "everything" involving it from the start to the cancellation. Great job as always. 😄👍

Something not noted (maybe out of worry it was hearsay or guesswork) but the Limousine segment was directly meant at the time to "give fans what the Sopranos didn't" - The Sopranos had recently had their finale to which the build up would be if Tony Soprano would be killed. The final scene saw him eating onion rings in a restaurant, look up at the entrance and... an immediate cut to black. Fans were livid. It was said at the time giving the fans an explosion would help newsjack the backlash HBO was getting over the Sopranos by doing something more definitive.

The exploding limo was literally when I stopped watching wrestling. Even as a kid, I was like "he obviously isn't dead, this is stupid". Wrestling was worse and worse, and wasn't the Raw I loved as a kid. That, and the show I was going to go to with my grandfather getting cancelled after the whole Benoit situation, it killed it for me. The stories are still fun to listen to though.

Ok... I'm fully aware I'm going off on a tangent about something very minor. But it bugs me to a disproportionate degree when people get the "grain of salt" idiom wrong. If you want to emphasize the sentiment you wouldn't take it with a *big* grain of salt, but should instead focus on just how tiny the grain of salt is. The grain is meant to be relatively comparable to the trust/confidence someone should place in the thing being discussed. ok, thanks. I'm done now. 😆

Also durag Vince McMahon is so underrated. I remember you can play as durag Vince in SmackDown versus raw 2008. Or as bald Vince but you had to finish career mode once I believe to purchase them in game. I feel like durag Vince McMahon was just Vince going through a midlife crisis.
