10 Things You Learn Binge Watching Every WWE Raw From 2004
2. The July ‘Iron Man’ Match
Some folks out there still get uncomfortable watching Chris Benoit matches, which is fair enough. If this isn't for you, then it isn't for you, but the 60-minute 'Iron Man' clash he constructed with Triple H on the 26 July '04 Raw is well-worth any technical wrestling fan's time.
It's one of the best 'Iron Mans' in company history.
Benoit and Trips had already worked some scorchers by the time summer rolled around, and they were afforded the bulk of Raw's two-hour runtime for a blowoff. The way Hunter positions himself as a hatable silver spoon heel and does everything to make Benoit the workmanlike man of the people is stunning to watch back on today.
It certainly isn't this guy's place to tell anybody how they should feel or what they should do, but check out this match just once if you feel the urge. Honestly, when viewed as an isolated piece of work between two top pros, it's one of the greatest Raw matches of all time.
