10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Chris Benoit

9. The Matches And Tag Team Title Win With Jericho

Chris Jericho was one of Benoit's best friends. They were tag team partners, they had great matches together and they created a lot of memories for fans that were unforgettable. Unfortunately due to the real life circumstances surrounding Benoit's death, Here are some quotes from Jericho in October 2014 talking about his next DVD that comes out early next year: "Putting together a couple of my DVDs, and we're working on the second one right now, that's probably a combined total of about fifty matches that are on there between those two DVDs but I could never include a Benoit match. One, I don't think I'm allowed to. Two, I don't know if I'd want to, and that was one of the greatest moments of my career. Absolutely one of my favorite opponents and probably a dozen classic matches that I'd want to put on there, including the ladder match we had at the Royal Rumble in 2001, which I think is one of the best ladder matches of all time, totally forgotten because of Chris and the fact they don't show any of his matches anymore." "Also too what was voted the best match in Raw history by a lot of people, Jericho and Benoit vs. Triple H and Austin, so famous for being the night H tore his quad during the match, the crowd going bananas and the first time anybody had vanquished the evil Steve Austin and Triple H. It was a huge night in WWE history, a huge moment in the history of the Tag Team Championships and a huge moment in the history of my career, and I can't ever see that match really. I can't watch that match. I think I've watched it once and it's good, it's a great classic five star match, but it's always tainted when I see Chris Benoit." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-sQ0CxGhqY Jericho is right about the Rumble ladder match and that tag match on Raw. That Raw match is arguably the best in the history of that show and it's completely forgotten just because Benoit was a part of it. It's a shame, but it's understandable why WWE wants to erase it from their history.
