We already know Jackass vs. Umaga was supposed to happen in SummerSlam 2007, but they nixed it after the Benoit family was killed. How does it disappoint you guys?

I thought it was cancelled because of Steve-O laughing after taking some sort of move on Raw?

It was the poster for Summerslam 2007 before the Benoit thing happened. EDIT: Dammit, that poster above me wasn't showing up when I posted. |

Would have been worth it just for the thrashing Umaga would have gave them. You know the Jackass guys would have been fine with Umaga stiffing the crap out of them (even if it already happened to Steve-O, at least Pontius knew when to sell the moves).

Why would Benoit's death lead to the match getting canned?

I always heard it was because Steve-O kept on corpsing during an Umaga beatdown.

He was starting to get some work in Hollywood and didn't want to be associated with WWE after the murders so WWE ended the whole thing. The incident with Steve O no selling happened about a year prior I believe and because he was KO'd near the start of it. |

I remember hearing back when it happened that they didn't want to be associated with WWE right then since, y'know, they were in the midst of a PR nightmare at the time. Granted, I thought it was a terrible idea anyway so whatever. Never found Jackass funny at all. Granted, it was also stupid turning Umaga face and then turning him heel again; should have just stuck with the face thing, it was catching on pretty quickly. |

The rumor I remember was that the Benoit death caused Johnny Knoxville to pull ou5, but the other issue was Bam got injured or something and had to pull out so WWE canceled since they were the 2 most popular and Steve-O and Pontius had heat for not selling for Umaga during their first appearance |

I can't help but find it hilarious that these guys, the same dudes who shove things up their rectal cavities, eat disgusting things, inflict bodily harm on eachother and among other dumb things. Would have such a moral compass about something that no one would even look at them badly for being associated with, it isnt like Jackass is high brow high society humor, it's slapstick for christ sakes.

I don't think the issue was, "Wrestling is for morons and losers," and more, "This'll make us look bad working with this company a month after news broke about how their poor treatment of injuries and psychological issues caused one of their most prominent people to murder his family." WWE was a pretty toxic property at that point in time. |

Regardless I'm glad that this didn't take place as I personally loathe the living shit out of jackass. |
