[2000-10-05-WWF-Smackdown] Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho

[soup23]

Some back and forth promos and a quick match but the hate was there. I think one thing that Benoit didn’t get enough credit for was that he was remembered as being too robotic but he has gotten personal feuds over this year with Rock, Jericho and now HHH. HHH interferes a couple of minutes in and slams HHH with a chair. HHH gets some color and that is a ready made feud for the No Mercy PPV. *1/4

I thought Benoit's promo was really good before the match. An intense few minutes with Benoit especially looking solid, making Jericho's offense look as good as possible. To his credit, Jericho really brings stiff chops to these Benoit matches. Triple H runs in for an effective brawl and I am surprised at how strong they positioned Benoit during this pull-apart.

 

*1/2
