      Yeah I feel like people disrespect the ruthless aggression era as a whole because Benoit was such a big part of it. Had all the attitude of the attitude era with a lot of the jobbers removed from Attitude Era though there were still some. Cena, Lesnar and even Triple H all made their names legendary during this era. Though H is from attitude era if he had left in 2001 he would not be where he is today he had most his best moments in this era.
      I think people need to let what Benoit did go. We are supposedly in the age that mental illness is more accepted and understood yet people still seem to think Benoit was not insane and chose what he did. He did not. The WWE themselves are more to blame IMO than Benoit for what happened.

    The story you're thinking of at 38:10 involving Goldberg and The Rock got crossed with another story from an episode of Raw where he was feuding with Jericho.
    The one with The Rock involved Goldberg running to the parking garage and hopping into one of his prized muscle cars. After backing it out, he blew the engine and the car stalled. So he eventually ran out and continued on foot.
    The other story involved Jericho dumping a bucket of paint on another one of Goldberg's favorite muscle cars. He was supposed to run out, hop in and chase down Jericho in the car. They rehearsed it all day and after Goldberg ran out to the car, he asks a bystander which way Jericho went. He then immediately gets in his car and drives off in the opposite direction.

      Yeah I usually agree with these guys but I feel like they were way off here. Torrie Wilson in C rank? Steiner in D rank? Those 2 are B rank minimum. Torrie was literally always in the title picture, and put on a decent performance. I always thought of her as just as good as Lita and Trish. She also had great bikini matches and bra and panty matches though those are guilty pleasure, putting down women blah blah still was extremely entertaining.
      Steiner was a HW champ contender for awhile, triple h almost put him over, had a good feud with test for stacys love and who did the most roids. Had the most ridiculous physique. I demand a do over. Jk Idc.

    • @Vegeta68041
      @Vegeta68041 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Also they put Test over Steiner. Test was NEVER as entertaining as steiner, great wrestler but no charisma and he was never a HW contender Triple H wouldn't even sneeze on him.
      Test was fired from WWE the first time after very lackluster career aside from the Steiner feud for being passed out backstage and then the second time he popped for roids. He won the ECW championship but that's ECW we are just taking his WWE main show success into consideration. No way should he be over Steiner just my opinion lol

I think it was the first time he'd ever been aligned with The Dudleys as a heel himself and I remember enjoying the hell of heel Spike.
    And hell, his reign was ended by Funaki which was a great moment. Sucks that Funaki's reign was so uneventful, but oh well.

    Okay. Might be a controversial opinion, but I'm a bit annoyed with leaving Benoit out. I understand the controversy, what he did. No excuses for it. It was horrible. But dude was a huge part of the ruthless aggression era. Him and Eddie in the ring as world champions together was one of my favorite moments. He'd probably be in a tier at best because he didn't do much else but come on. Quit ignoring him as if he didn't exist.

      He'd be S tier all the way. The Rumble where he lasted the longest in history, the WMXX triple threat match itself being arguably the greatest Wrestlemania match of all time up to that point, his feuds with Angle including the incredible match at Royal Rumble 03 where he got a standing ovation despite losing, his underrated promo work (Toothless Aggression still being one of my favourites, and go back and listen to the crowd when he was General Manager of Raw, it's easy to forget just how over he was at this point), the Orlando Jordan feud where he'd just slap the shit out of him, the suplexes on Big Show and Viscera. Benoit was genuinely a top 3-5 guy between 2002 and 2006, more so and for longer than Eddie was.
