HBK, Trips and the Great fricking Khali all locked on the crossface. Mr "Lumbering Slow Man Who Can Barely Wrestle" Khali locked on the fricking crossface.
Is there any real reason behind this, or was it all coincidence?

I thought it was a good idea for Khali to try some proper wrestling seeing as he was against another giant.
Because he can over power most people but it's not as easy for him to do that, relentlessly, to Show.

Interesting that a few guys are now using the crossface as a mid-match wearing-down hold. The first time HBK brought it out against Orton after Benoit, I remember thinking it was a bit dodgy.

Now it's like Benoit never even left.  |

My theory is that they're trying to trivialize the Crossface so people don't go all like "ZOMG BENOIT REFERENCE IT'S SICK I'M DONE WITH TEH WWE!!" when someone performs it.

They're probably thinking that if enough guys bring it out in the middle of matches, it will gradually have less association with Benoit and become as general a move as a camel clutch. |

Judging by the name of this thread, I thought you meant that there was a number of "cross faces" attending the PPV.
Was it that bad?

It really does. Once it's integrated, it'll be like any other move and we won't have a million threads popping up to point it out. I'm not in-line with most of their actions since, but this seems like a good idea. |

if anything could make me forgive Benoit it's Khali performing his moves.

Is there any real reason behind this, or was it all coincidence? KHALI DID THE CROSSFACE?!!!! Now I really really wish I'd taped Backlash. The one time I decide not to bother taping a free PPV is the one time that completely OMFG cool or funny stuff happens. |

Khalis didnt hook the arm, so I'm not sure it actually counts.

I think that everyone in wrestling, include TNA, are trying to remove the association of the crossface with Benoit.
