BTC Presents: Two Part Series Chris Benoit - Argument For Benoit To Be I...
It was brought up in our last podcast since it is Hall of Fame time and since we really didn't tackle it last year, we decided to this year. This video is one half ofthe 2 part series we are doing on the subject. Myself, and special co-host, Douglas O'Shea are goingto be presenting you the listeners with an argument in favor of Chris Benoit being in the Hall of Fame. The 2nd part will be done and released very soon by Mike Currence and Chuck Meyers and they will argue against Benoit making the Hall of Fame. We encourage comments, you can agree & disagree but keep it civil.

I Have Finally Figured Out The Internet Wrestling Community!
I have news above all other news tonight ladies & gentlemen. I was sitting around a few minutes ago & it hit me. What hit me you ask? Well, let me tell you, I figured out the Internet Wrestling Community!!! The IWC as they are so lovingly referred to by many out there. Now for those of you who are really true wrestling fans, you may ask yourself, WHO is this IWC that he speaks of???
Well, the IWC are basically a bunch of "wrestling fans" that think they know everything and they insist that they can do the job 100 times better than the current group of writers & owners. Notice my use of quotation marks around the words wrestling fans when I refer to the IWC because when it becomes so serious to you that you claim to be the aficionado of all things wrestling and that ratings would be 10 times better if you were in charge and that YOU and YOU only know what the best direction a wrestler's gimmick should go, then you officially are no longer a fan.
A fan takes in the business for what it is which is entertainment these days. Now is the time when some ask me, "Chris, are YOU not a card carrying member of the IWC since you have a podcast based on your opinion of all things wrestling?". The answer is simply......no. We will point out how things are going and give our opinions but I will not tell you that I can run an entire organization better than someone who is experienced in all areas.
But back to the subject at hand, I have figured it out. The IWC are democrats!!! Snowflakes!!! Hear me out now..... Tell me if this sounds familiar. "Roman Reigns is getting an undeserved push I don't like him im not watching the network anymore!!"
Sounds kind of like "I hate Donald Trump, he got an undeserved push to president so I'm not watching Presidential speeches anymore!" Hmmmm....... The IWC has become a blizzard of snowflakes yelling "It isn't fair!!!" "I'm not happy!!" "He's not MY choice!!" . Am I wrong?? Can you see the same trends here that I'm talking about? Why is Roman treated so badly anyways? He has served his time now. He spent a short time in FCW which is now NXT and came up as the muscle for The Shield. Not everybody has great mic skills and charisma. I hear Big Cass & Big E Langston getting mad cheers from the crown but they aren't that great on the microphone. Roman is just as great in the ring athletically as they are. Lex Lugar was not a great talker either really but he was from a different era where the baby face got cheered anyways.Here is another wrestler for you that they hate with a passion:
You can't see him! No wait, there he is! John Cena probably brings that company more money in then any other wrestler on the roster. The kids love him as do the women and the guys love to boo him. But why boo the hero once again? It's the Villains that you boo but when Brock Lesner comes out he gets a huge pop from the fans.
He comes in, wreaks havoc and leaves. Not even on a full time basis, just shows up when he wants part time and suplexes people 100 times a match! Yet you cheer for him like he is the second coming of Hulkamania from the 80's! I wonder if Baron Corbin showed up part time and kicked a few butts when he felt like it would get as many cheers?
No never mind, he has been complained about as well for his lack of charisma but let me tell you this....Corbin has all the makings of a solid wrestler for years to come. He may not reach World Heavyweight Title contention but if this guy doesn't get a solid and I mean solid Intercontinental Title or US Title run then they are possibly missing the boat on him! Careful......I almost sounded like one of those snowflakes.

WWE Hall of Fame in for a Rude Awakening, should be a BANG!
So, it was evident late in 2016 when we all heard that Diamond Dallas Page had a DVD coming out right around the same time that the WWE Hall of Fame was taking place that DDP himself was going to be placed in the Hall of Fame in 2017. There are a lot of deserving people that are waiting to get in and Dallas surely belongs in the mix. Not starting wrestling in ring till age 35 and making main events and holding the World Heavyweight Title were huge accomplishments and he was the hero to WCW when all else were running to NWO.
Today, DDP has a very successful business that he is running called "DDP Yoga". Countless people have benefit from the program and often give credit to it for salvaging and prolonging their careers. If you are looking to buy DDP yoga, and I personally recommend it, you can click the link provided here to go & purchase the software:

- Along with DDP this year we are finally getting Ravishing Rick Rude into the Hall of Fame. It is a shame that he has been dead for quite a few years and can't be here to see it but his legacy in the ring will always be remembered. He traveled through multiple territories in his younger days before being noticed by the WWE having some success in the memphis area & the WCCW made famous by the Von Erichs. He spent some time in Crockett Promotions and tag teamed with Manny Fernandez being managed by Paul Jones enjoying success as a tag team. Rude had great feuds in the WWE with the likes of Jake "The Snake" Roberts, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper & The Ultimate Warrior. Rude would eventually move back to the WCW and have a great run there in the Dangerous Alliance managed by Paul Heyman winning the United States Title as well.
Rude would eventually retire and cash in on an insurance policy and stay out for a while but eventually return as a bodyguard type role for Degeneration X in the WWF often referred to as an "insurance policy". Rude was not long in his stay though as he was very unhappy with the Montreal Screwjob that Vince pulled on Brett Hart. He reportedly called Eric Bischoff telling him it was a real deal not scripted and negotiated a contract with WCW as he was only on a pay for appearance type contract with the WWF at the time. Rude came back and joined the NWO but would not remain long as injuries crept back up on him Rick Rude would pass away on April 20th, 1999 of heart failure. He was one of the great heels in the business and influenced many. A welcome addition to the WWE Hall of Fame!
