I just watched their WWE made tirbute videos and I miss them a lot I grew up the biggest Eddie and Chris fans and the day they both passed, I knew nothing would be the same in professional wrestling for me. Those 2 guys had a big impact on me as a straight up wrestling fan. Two amazingly talented men and both are gone. Despite what Chris did in his final days, I will always remember him. I'm about to start wrestling and I think I'm gonna incorporate parts of them in my matches once I'm allowed to do so.

It's slightly weird watching their matches now...I feel the same way about Owen Hart, Bam Bam Bigelow, Umaga, and a few others that I've seen in their hayday. (Owen and Bam Bam obviously I was younger)
Do it as a tribute if nothing else, to incorporate parts of Benoit and Guerrero into your style. They're both two of the best the business has ever seen, it only makes sense to take after the best. Any elements you're thinking of specifically?

Yeah they were some of my favourites growing up too. And while, obviously, I dont condone Benoits action, I sincerely miss him as a wrestler. Eddie moreso, I always loved Eddie and treasure the fact I was able to see him live.

It's way too early to tell but I'd like to incorporate some of their moves from time to time. Like maybe a frog splash, diving head butt, cross face, triple suplex, etc...and seeing as how I'm not the most talkative person in public, I'd love to have a silent but violent type of deal similar to Benoit when he was in WCW

That'd be cool. Benoit's character was always great. Even in WWE when they made him into a talkative superstar with the whole Toothless Aggression thing. I'm thinking of picking up Benoit's Hard Knocks DVD but at the same time I feel like I'd be uncomfortable watching. Whenever his matches come on I don't care that he killed himself and others, it's more that he's dead. Same with Guerrero. Wrestlemania XX will never be the same for me.

I'd get it KOK. I bought it the day after I found out he passed because I knew people were gonna go ape shit and it would be hard to find. I was watching some old WCW pay per views a few weeks ago and the Benoit vs Raven stuff was awesome.

Yeah Benoit's dvd is excellent. I'm looking for Eddie's Cheating Death, Stealing Life DVD
