Kurt Angle On Vince McMahon Tearing Both Quads 

*Speedyreedy1218* The "I'm Vince McMahon dammit!" is the best bit haha

@Tom Mac HHH pinned Benoit twice in 2000, once in 2004, and once in 2005.

@@PalmerPerspectivePodcast No one says it better than him.

@Tom Mac He happily put him over many times. He chose him. According to Bruce Pritchard, there was a discussion with HHH of three potential names Vince had in mind for the WM20 main event: Cena, Eddie, and Benoit. HHH was not on board with Cena at all. But loved the idea of elevating Eddie and Benoit. He thought he could work Benoit even better because of the contrasts in their characters. There's a lot of similarities between Eddie and HHH being honest about their villainous ways. But Benoit is 100% hardnose, straight shooter, babyface all the way. So he thought there was more depth to tell lots of stories with him. Then they ask HBK for a second opinion. He agrees with HHH. So Vince decides to go with Eddie and Chris for the WM20 main events. And just to add another wrinkle, throw HBK in there too with Benoit making that first ever triple threat title match. As a bonus, HHH still got his wish to work with Eddie in a title match the week after WM on draft day. Shame it was a one off. And he wished down the road he got an opportunity to do some extended stuff with him. But we know how Eddie's story ends, sadly. I feel like if Eddie lived and ended up somehow being an Untouchable Smackdown guy (a la Undertaker) and remained there in 08, once HHH finally got that "You're so good at being bad we like you now" turn, they probably would've worked a program together. But I think it would've been cool seeing 2005 heel Eddie still around in 2008, facing babyface HHH in 08. I know they were trying hard to make Edge top heel, but he and Orton weren't doing for me. They felt like cheap copies of aspects of HHH'S character. Eddie, Benoit, HHH felt more committed and genuine in their respective roles.

Shane just tore his quad at wrestlemania 😭😂

He no sold such a painful injury

Sits down, and straight face sells it 😂

No he’s just very rich

@@rikmichaels9233I’m pretty sure being rich doesn’t make you immune to pain. Alas I’m but a peasant so I could be wrong

@@Raumes513 I just don’t feel too bad for the rich in general. I’m in chronic pain from heart surgeries being born with heart issues and I’m fucked because I’m disabled from birth in a capitalistic society that worships the rich

Qgagahahahahahajsksk idk why this made me laugh so much. Probably because it's true

Lmaooo!!

About 10 seconds into the video I had to turn it off oh my fucking god. I don't understand why people make the noises they make.

​​@@fuschion47He's using a condenser mic pointed straight at his breath hole hence the dick sucking noises on sibilance. Needs to back that thing off and aim it at the throat or get a dynamic

😂 or he could have taken the stairs in to the ring

It happened in the ring.

@@Speedyreedy1218 because he jumped head first in to the ring instead of walking up the steps like a normal person

I thought it was Conrad. They have an identical voice to me.

I disagree. I thought Conrad worked really well on this show. Paul loves calling Kurt “Pal” 😂

That guy is terrible. Why is he everywhere?

For sure

You can’t even spell vacuum

Nope

No Batista was suppose to win

John Botcha showed up.

Was the double elimination in 94 planned?

@@francescotonini6268 Yes, the '94 double elimination was planned. It was essentially Vince's way to test who would be better as the company's new top guy in the wake of Hulk Hogan's departure - the "Hogan 2.0" bodybuilder saddled with a patriotic gimmick (Lex) or the fan-favorite workhorse (Bret).

Baring in mind Cena and Batista were both being booked to win each of the world titles at mania it would have been so simple to just say yeah draw.. both guys get a title match on their respective shows like they are going to anyway. Typical WWE making things so complicated

@@Michael-cz6ob Vince is essily irritable.

That's over a decade later.

Covid?
