You know that "Benoit Warning" that shows up randomly? Well, I was watching some stuff on the network and then I went to watch the Punk vs Morrison match from Vengeance 2007 and it popped up.
For those who don't know, it was supposed to be Punk vs Benoit but that was the weekend of the murders so he obviously no showed. Due to his absence, Nitro won the belt instead and became John Morrison and started that gimmick.
How creepy that it appeared then I'm freaked out I had to turn a light on.

They should have a really menacing picture of Benoit on the Benoit warnings and it pops up randomly.

Do it like the Krpyt in Mortal Kombat 9, every now and then while you're navigating the network a picture of Benoit jumps up covering your whole screen and a snippet of Whatever starts playing.

I have had the Network since a week after it's launch, I have watched a ton of things on it, and I have yet to see a single Benoit warning. Weren't they going to air them for Pillman and Owen too?

It has nothing to do with Benoit.
It's a generic warning that shows up randomly.

I've had the Network since it launched and I've yet to get any special message. What does it say?

I've had the Network since it launched and I've yet to get any special message. What does it say? something like... “The following program is presented in its original form. It may contain some content that does not reflect WWE’s corporate views and may not be suitable for viewers. WWE characters are fictitious and do not reflect the personal lives of the actors portraying them. Viewer discretion is advised. You can block access to this program and others like it using the Parental Control feature in your WWE Network account settings |

They should update their "please don't try this at home" with black and white stills of Benoit doing the Crippler Crossface with photos of the crime scene interspersed between them.

Presumably the Benoit warning is on that show because if you're watching things in order and aren't aware of what happened you might be expecting him to show.

Is that match unedited? I recall a lot of "We want Benoit!" chants that were later edited out of the DVD. I understand the fans doing it at the time, but it is just so weird in retrospect.

For those who don't know, it was supposed to be Punk vs Benoit but that was the weekend of the murders so he obviously no showed. As crazy as the whole Benoit thing was, could you imagine how much crazier it would have been if Benoit had decided against the suicide part of the double murder/suicide and kept wrestling until the bodies were discovered/Benoit was brought in for questioning and/or arrested? |

Shoot police run in and arrest would have been something. |

Anybody else just die a little inside when that comes on? [insert obligatory "It's still real to me, dammit!"]

"Best of Raw" is playing on the live feed right now (main evented by the Jeff Hardy-Undertaker ladder match) and I'm currently watching the Bubba/Spike Dudley vs Eddie Guerro/Chris Benoit match (Benoit's first match back after his neck surgery in 2001. Or atleast his first televised match since then). Before the match there was a graphic before the original broadcast cut to commercial that said "Benoit is back" with video of Benoit warming up, and it made want to hide under my bed.

I've seen it when I use my Xbox to watch the network. I use my PC more than the xbox though and have never seen one on there. Do you have an Ad Block plugin? That's what I'm thinking might be the cause of it. |
