Benoit DVD

[laker8kiss]

I recently ordered this purely for the matches. It has matches with Japanese wrestlers, Too Cold Scorpio, and Kevin Sullivan. Especially the Sullivan match as I am yet to find a DVD with a match with him on it. I know it has been awhile since what happened with Benoit happened, but I felt my DVD collection would be incomplete without this. Does anyone else feel like this or is it wrong to own this? Just curious as to others opinion on this.

[MGH]

I still watch the matches on mine. Matches are matches in my eyes. And his matches were damn good.

[craigdanbeaton]

The DVD features The Great Sasuke.

Therefore there is no way it can be classified as wrong to own it.

the matches awesome especially the japan matches. I am still able to watch them even after what happened. Just not able to watch the actual documetary without feeling extremely uneasy.

For years I had been looking for this dvd as it looks to have awesome matches and I have nearly all the WWE bio dvds. I finally found a copy of this dvd on special at a store sometime after he died and... I couldn't buy it. Its just too weird.

[Fiddleford H. McGucket]

Nothing wrong unless you make it wrong.

I've said it before but it bears repeating, an event like the Benoit Murder/Suicide is bound to be a polarizing one. I'd honestly be more afraid if it wasn't.

Those that can seperate the man and the performer are always going to see things differently than those who cannot. No one faction is right or wrong in thir interpretation of history unless glaring omissions are made.

That said, I found his matches enjoyable, would love to see his early non-WWE work (I really started following wretling around the time WCW folded) and even in light of how his life ended have no big issue with watching his matches.

In short...enjoy the DVD, it sounds like it's a grand exhibiton of technical wrestling nd don't let anyone else try to ruin it with thier opinions

Pretty much this.

Anything with Sasuke and Liger on a WWE DVD cannot be wrong

[Blindkarevik]

Just like Benoit discussions in themselves. If you can still watch his matches and enjoy them. There's absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you can't stand to watch them anymore, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that either.

Regardless of how you feel about him now, that DVD is straight-up terrific and is a great addition to anyone's collection.

Same...I've seen it marked up to ridiculous prices on-line though...

Its a great DVD. I watched it again a few weeks ago and I loved re-watching his matches. I'm a so called Benoit 'defender' so I had no problems. I cannot condone what he did but I believe there are reasons for it. Someone in my city killed his kids and himself recently, my friend knew the family, so I know that you have to be at the sheer depth of desperation to even consider doing something like that so I cannot hate Benoit and nor do I want to.

not hard to find, nor very expensive...

[4real]

I own it and it is a fantastic DVD yes.

But I'm still never going to watch it again.

[johnnyk9]

This is never gonna die down just like The Montreal incident, We can get over wars but not wrestling moments that went to a horrible turn

[dannyrctv]

I went out and bought the DVD right after the tragedy happened because I knew it was going to be taken off the market immediately.
I always respected him as a wrestler and enjoyed his matches and the DVD.
It fascinates me more to watch knowing what happeend and just to actually own it. It's not wrong!

[Deleted]

I officially ceased giving a crap a long time ago, so as far as I'm concerned, DVD's fair game to own and based on what I've heard it's a damn good buy.

[Bravo Echo November]

Baught it at a Used Video store for $23 dollars after the tragedy, for the matches and I knew it would be a bitch to find later.

[AriadosMan]

I'm gonna count how many pages this lasts before it goes negative.

[Bobby Womack]

i watched the dvd when he was alive so my memory may be a little fuzzy, but i seem to recall the documentary section really centering around the fact that he worked hard and travelled the world and various promotions before he finally got to the pinnacle and from me that just got a big 'who cares?', thats what everybody of that era and every era beforehand had to do and to me it seemed like if thats all they had to focus on then they were really reaching, and as someone who followed benoits career from the early 90s i honestly cant think of anything else they really could have touched on, good wrestler but not really documentary worthy as he didnt do much of importance to the business apart from his final tragic days, the documentary disc should have been replaced with more matches

very well produced dvd though and pulled on all the right emotive strings as wwe dvds usually do

[Mozenrath]

It's only wrong if you're like "He's so awesome because of" and that sentence ends in a direction completely different than simulated violence, if you catch my drift.
