Chris Benoit won it, I have a Royal Rumble trophy I keep in my house that I carve the name of every champion into. To suggest anyone else or try to have fun or attempt to be silly is to ruin the great and serious history of the professional sport of wrestling. To say Chris Benoit didn't win is to disgrace the ancient Greeks and the all-time great wrestlers like Hogan, Savage, Andre, Buddy Rodgers, and Hardcore Holly. To say that match isn't happen is to spit in the face of other great matches like Owen/Bret, Bret/Austin, Andre/Hogan, and HBK/HHH from Wrestlemania XX. To joke about this Rumble is to ruin the legacies of entrants like Matt Morgan, Renee Dupree, Rico, and Nunzio. This is not a place for fun or joking, this is a place for a serious discussion about the 2004 Royal Rumble matches like when Hardcore Holly gave up his Wrestlemania shot for a title match against Brock Lesnar. And that HHH/HBK match where both men fought to get up only to be hit by arrows in their knees and failed to get up before the count of ten. To suggest names like Noob Sailbot you are personally insulting all the great men who helped build this sport to where it is today I won't have any of it. I bid you all farewell, I am going back to my home planet now

I would if I was alone in the opinion, but what do you know? I'm not. So if more than one person shares your opinion, everyone else can f*** off? WWE's treatment of Benoit is as it should be. On last night's evidence they clearly aren't writing him out of history but why mention his name and give any attention to the worst thing that ever happened to wrestling? Oh, I understand completely why WWE censor him. What he did will forever be a black stain on the company and it would be suicide to publicly mention his name. I have no problem with that (although, and this may come as a shock here, we're NOT the WWE, so I'm not quite sure why you have to point out to me why they handle it when it has no baring on how we should handle it). My point was that since other people were expressing how tired they were of an unfunny meme, I decided to do the same. You can say I have no right, or that I'm being a "buzzkill", I say I have as much right as anyone else that shares an opinion on a particular topic. That's why we're here, afterall. Now back to people posting more witty and sarcastic remarks that are supposed to highlight my apparant need to ruin peoples fun, because I'm the one being too defensive apparantly.

The second part of my post wasn't directed towards you, it was in reference to WWE's lack-of-mentioning of Benoit in the OP. And you are absolutely correct, you're entitled to say you don't find something funny just like I'm entitled to go into that My Little Pony thread and say I don't like ponies. It won't stop them posting about My Little Pony. So people moaning about others making jokes is a fairly futile exercise because there are others who enjoy making jokes. So let us have our fun eh?

See, it's odd, with me. I don't really think I mind the jokes(ie : "Hardcore Holly") too much, but it does get uncomfortable when it crosses over into "Why won't they talk about his accomplishments on TV?".

*sigh* Chris Benoit. Hardcore Holly. It was Chris Benoit Hardcore Holly who won the 2004 Royal Rumble. He also won the main event of WrestleMania XX in a triple threat by submitting HHH with the Crippler Crossface. by Alabama Slamming him into submission. Went ahead and fixed that for ya. EDIT: Just now saw your post about how you don't think the joke is funny. I honestly wasn't trying to be a dick, I just didn't read through the thread. My bad. At the very least, the image of Hardcore Holly repeatedly Alabama slamming HHH until HHH gives up is pretty funny.

That's why they don't talk about it - too scary.

Well, if someone blew a spot or Show blew up for a second in the ring, some poor schmuck would have had to work 1:03 in a Royal Rumble match. As is, they don't mention him having the second longest time in a match.

It also would be even funnier if they had Flair do it as a rib, and then it turns out someone else has to work 1:04 because he worked for TNA.

Did the winner of the 2004 Rumble wrestle in the Rumble longer than even Rey Mysterio? I wonder what would have happened if Chris Benoit were mentioned? In other words, what if they didn't erase him from the history books? The fact that the tragedy was so recent was a reminder that no matter how sad the events were, Chris Benoit will not be forgotten in the minds of even casual fans.

But since that Rumble was expunged from the record, no one else has gone on from number 1 to win the Rumble. RIGHT JERRY LAWLER?
