[2000-06-25-WWF-King of the Ring] Chris Benoit vs Rikishi

[soup23]

Didn’t take long for the awful booking to start tonight. Benoit comes in like a shark smelling blood going after that injured shoulder of Rikishi. He does a great job of working it over even putting in a variation of the crossface with extra torque on the shoulder. Rikishi makes it to the ropes and then Benoit calmly grabs a chair and earns himself the DQ. That sucks. *

Classic case of "if you want one guy to win but don't want the other guy to put the first guy over, don't book the match". You can get away with such things on TV but not on PPV.
