Dynamite Kid and Jacques Rougeau had a fight backstage. The fight was so bad that it made the Dynamite Kid want to leave the WWE. I wonder what the fight was about to make him want to quit.

Macho Man vs. Hulk Hogan

Even though Macho Man and Hulk were in a storyline where they were friends, they did not get along in real life. I figured they didn't get along because there was too much bad blood between them. Macho Man also did a song on his cd dissing Hulk Hogan.

Booker T vs. Batista

Booker T and Batista got into a real-life fist fight in 2005. They fought because Batista thought he was better than the other wrestlers. Batista allegedly provoked the fight between him and Booker T. It didn't occur to me that these two would have a real-life feud.

Ricky Steamboat vs. Vince McMahon

After Ricky won the Intercontinental championship belt, he asked Vince McMahon for time off to spend time with his family. This didn't sit well with the powers-that-be and Ricky ended up losing his belt to the Honky Tonk Man. The WWE also didn't give him any more meaningful matches so he ended up leaving. It's a shame that Ricky wanting to spend time cost him his belt and he was never able to get it back again.

Ric Flair vs. Bret Hart

Ric Flair was in an off screen rivalry with Bret Hart. Ric criticized Bret for exploiting the death of his brother Owen. I never thought that Bret exploited his brother's death. Maybe Ric used that as a reason to justify his dislike of Bret. Ric also had feuds with Shane Douglas and Mick Foley.

Bret Hart vs. Shawn Michaels

This feud was pretty much legendary, but for those of you who don't know, Bret did not like Shawn. Bret thought that Shawn was a showoff. Shawn thought that Bret was jealous of his growing popularity. This feud was hard for me because I like both wrestlers. I guess their feud explained why their fights in the ring looked so real. I watched the infamous “screwjob” at Survivor Series "97 when Shawn beat Bret in Montreal. I"m sure Bret really hated Shawn then since he was in on Vince's plan to take the belt from him.

Honky Tonk Man vs. many wrestlers

Honky Tonk Man didn't seem to like too many wrestlers during his time in the federation. He had real-life feuds with Hulk Hogan, Dynamite Kid, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Kevin Nash, Ted Dibiase, and Ricky Steamboat. I was surprised that he had problems with Hulk since Hulk was credited as the one who brought Honky Tonk Man to the federation. I was also surprised that he had problems with Bret Hart. I remember when they used to wrestle together sometimes while they were still managed by Jimmy Hart.

Yokozuna was born Rodney Anoa'i on October 2, 1966 and died on October 23, 2000.He was a Samoan-American professional wrestler. He was best known for wrestling in the WWE. I remember that he was billed as a Japanese wrestler who didn't speak a word of English. A match that comes to mind was the shortest championship reign that he had. In WrestleMania IX, he won the Heavyweight championship from Bret Hart and lost the belt to Hulk Hogan the same night. I also remember the double main event match that he had with Lex Luger and Bret Hart at WrestleMania X. Yokozuna beat Lex Luger earlier in the night and then lost the belt to Bret Hart later. I am a huge Bret Hart fan so it was a great moment to watch Bret win the belt back a year later. Anyway, I remember that I always felt sorry for the victim of the Samoan splash. He would stand on the ropes and then jump on his opponent. I used to wonder how Yokozuna pulled that off without hurting someone since he outweighed his opponents by quite a bit of weight.

Death

Yokozuna died of a heart attack on October 23, 2000 at his Liverpool residence in London. I was shocked by his death since he was so young. Then again, since he was a large man, I guess the heart attack was inevitable.

Adrian Adonis

Adrian Adonis was born Keith Franke on September 12, 1954 and died on July 4, 1988. He started his wrestling career in 1974. He wrestled in the AWA and WWE. My memory of Adrian Adonis was when he took on an effeminate persona. I had never seen a wrestler dressed up like that before. One of his most memorable feuds was with Roddy Piper. I remember the Hair Match/Retirement Match as if it happened yesterday. It helps how I just saw that match on an old tape. (LOL!)

Death

Adrian Adonis was killed in a car accident on July 4, 1988. I really can't believe that this year will make it 20 years since he died.

Andre the Giant

Andre the Giant was born Andre Rene Roussimoff on May 19, 1946 and died on January 27, 1993. He was believed to be 7 ft. tall when he was really 6 ft. 10 in. I just assumed he was 7 ft. tall. I became familiar with him during WrestleMania I. I remember how he used to be a babyface wrestler and was friends with Hulk Hogan. This was around WrestleMania 1 and 2. The next thing you know, they were wrestling against each other in WrestleMania 3. I remember the match really well. I did remember how Andre looked like he was a little tired while he was wrestling Hulk. Andre ended up losing the title, but it was still one of his most memorable matches in my opinion. The event also broke attendance records and the record still hasn't been broken.

Death

Andre died in his sleep on January 27, 1993. It turned out that he died of congestive heart failure. He was survived by his daughter. I wasn't surprised by his death since he was sick during the end of his wrestling career.

Crush

Crush was born Brian Keith Adams on April 14, 1964 and died on August 13, 2007. He rose to fame as Crush. He used to tag with Ax and Smash of Demolition. One of the best matches he had with Demolition was a handicap match with the Hart Foundation at Summer Slam "90. It was a two out of three match and it was tied up until the Legion of Doom interfered. I was so happy to see the Hart Foundation win the match. Crush ended up leaving the WWE for a while and returned as a singles wrestler. I think that he wrestled better alone because it gave the audience a chance to see what he could do.

Death

Crush was found by his wife on August 13, 2007. He wasn"t breathing. According to an autopsy report, he died of a overdose of pain killers and antidepressants. This was another shocking death to me because I didn't hear much about him once he left the WWE so I assumed everything was okay with him.

The Fabulous Moolah

The Fabulous Moolah was born Mary Lillian Ellison on July 22, 1923 and died on November 2, 2007. She held the record for the longest title reign by any athlete in any professional sport. She had a 38-year championship reign in 1956. I'm familiar with her feud with Wendy Richter. I also remember her later matches with the late Sheri Martel and she even fought with Mae Young. Like her or not, the Fabulous Moolah was able to accomplish a lot during her career that female wrestlers today will never accomplish. She never had to use her body in order to get where she did. She let her skills speak for itself.

Death

The Fabulous Moolah died on November 2, 2007. According to her daughter, the cause of her death was a possible heart attack or a blood clot that was related to a shoulder replacement surgery. She was survived by her daughter Mary. I was surprised that there was so little coverage about her death. I guess since she didn't die from drugs, the reporters didn't care.

Kurt Angle was arrested at his home in PA on a drunk driving charge on September 28, 2007. He failed a sobriety test and refused to take a blood test. He was charged with driving under the influence and careless driving.

That's all for now. I will add more trivia soon.

Mini biography

Chris Benoit was born Christopher Michael Benoit on May 21, 1967. He was born in Edmonton Alberta Canada. He was inspired to wrestle by former wrestling star The Dynamite Kid. He was trained by Stu Hart (Bret “Hitman” Hart's father). He started his wrestling career in Stampede Wrestling. He also wrestled in WCW, WWE, and ECW. During his career, he held many championships including the heavyweight championship. Throughout his career, he was known as a great technical wrestler. His signature move was the crippler crossface.

Personal life

Chris met his wife Nancy (43) during his wrestling career. She managed him at one time. They were involved in a scripted relationship in WCW. They got married in 2000. They had a seven-year-old son named Daniel.

In 2003, Chris and Nancy had marital problems. She filed for a restraining order against him for domestic abuse. She also wanted a divorce. She ended up withdrawing the petition for divorce and the restraining order.

Deaths

According to the coroner's report, Chris murdered his wife on Friday, June 22, 2007. He strangled her. She was found with her wrists and feet bound. Chris murdered their son Daniel on Saturday, June 23, 2007. Daniel was found smothered in his bed. Chris committed suicide on late Saturday or early Sunday June 24 or June 25. He was found hanging in his weight room. The police found steroids in his house. They believe that's what could have caused him to murder his wife and son. I believe that's what could have caused him to do such a heinous thing too because why else would he kill his wife and young son?

I have watched Chris wrestle for years, but I didn't realize that he had psychological problems. To see him wrestle, you would never know that there was anything wrong with him. I didn't know he had marital problems because he was a professional in the ring. He didn't seem like the type who would harm a woman let alone a child.

I wish Nancy had found the courage to leave him. I wonder if he threatened her if she ever left him. He also might have told her the right things in order to get her to stay.

Gone too soon

Chris's death means there's one more wrestler gone too soon. Here's a list of some other wrestling stars who are no longer with us (in no particular order): Miss Elizabeth, Ravishing Rick Rude, Owen Hart, Eddie Guerreero, Yokozuna, Sensational Sherri, Junk Yard Dog, Big Boss Man, Dino Bravo, Hawk (from Legion of Doom), Andre The Giant, Big John Studd, Mr. Perfect, Earthquake, Bad News Brown, Hercules Hernandez, Brian Pullman, Davey Boy Smith (British Bulldog), Texas Tornado, as well as many others. Judging from this list alone, wrestlers don't have a long life span. As far as I know, most of them didn't make it to 50 before they died. It's sad to see how most of the people I grew up watching are gone.

Final thoughts

I believe Chris murdering his wife and child ruins his legacy as a good wrestler. After everything he's accomplished in his career, he'll now be known as a murderer. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy and Daniel's family. I can only imagine what they must be going through. I'll extend my thoughts and prayers to Chris's family too because they lost Daniel at the hands of Chris. They also have to deal with the fact that Chris did such a terrible thing.

It was no secret that Owen loved his home life, and he planned on retiring from the ring when his WWF/E contract expired. He worked hard, and saved as much as he could.

Owen's career started right here in Canada. His father, Stu Hart, was a legendary wrestler and promoter. His own promotion Stampede Wrestling helped pave the way for many superstars of wrestling. Stu's technical style of wrestling, as well as his generally aggressive approach to the business helped mold his own sons, all of them wrestling at some point.

Two of his sons went on to an American promotion ran by Vincent Kennedy McMahon Jr., called the World Wrestling Federation. Bret Hart, along with brother-in-law, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart went on to become WWF Tag Team Champions, before splitting up, and allowing Bret's career to sky rocket as a singles competitor. Owen would follow his brother into the WWF and showcased an entirely different style then his brother's. Owen mixed technical wrestling with an ariel style.

After hanging up the Blue Blazer gimmick which Owen wasn't really fond of, he had success in the tag team division. Teaming with Jim Neidhart to form the New foundation, but their partnership wouldn't last. The next partner he had was Koko B. Ware and were aptly called High Energy. Both men worked with an unreal amount of energy, but that partnership would also not last.

Bret's popularity was climbing. In 1993 Bret's feud with Jerry Lawler escalated leading up to November's annual pay-per-view Survivor Series. Lawler constantly took cheap shots at the entire Hart family, but by the time the Survivor Series rolled around, Lawler was injured. Shawn Michaels jumped in to take over Lawler's team of the Knights (Black Knight, Red Knight, and Blue Knight) to face the Hart family of Bret, Owen, Bruce and Keith, with their father Stu standing in their corner. The Hart family prevailed over Shawn and the Knights, except one family member had been eliminated early on. Owen felt he was cheated (his character, not the real man), he felt like Bret was holding him down.

The problems between Bret and Owen, on television, would come to head at the 1994 Royal Rumble, when Owen turned on his brother during a tag team match. At WrestleMania 10 in Madison Square Gardens Owen would gain a victory over his brother in the first match of the night. Owen's character took on the roll as “the black Hart”, making it his mission to out-do his brother.

At the 1994 King Of The Ring Tournament in June, Owen became the second King Of The Ring. Just like Bret did in 1993.

The on-screen feud between Bret and Owen would carry on until 1996, and together would start a small family faction called the New Hart Foundation, with brother-in-laws Jim Neidhart and Davey Boy Smith, and family friend Brian Pillman. Together they stood against Americans, being only loyal to Canada. They battled “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and D-Generation X.

D-Generation X (or D-X) was led by Shawn Michaels. Michaels and Bret had a history. They had amazing matches together, but behind the scenes the two really couldn't stand each other. The fight leading up their final battle was over-shadowed by Bret Hart's upcoming departure from the company. This would lead to the infamous Montreal Screw Job.

Prier to his brother's controversial departure from the company, Owen found success in the tag team team division winning multiple tag team championships with the 600-pounder Yokozuna and again with his brother-in-law Davey Boy Smith.

In 1998-99, Owen teamed with Jeff Jarrett and his lovely manager Debra. Once again, Owen found championship success. They worked as a team and as a singles competitors. Things were going great for Owen.

Then the unimaginable happened.

Kansas City, Missouri, Kemper Arena - May 23, 1999:

Earlier in the day Owen rehearsed his entrance into the ring for his match against the Godfather. Owen wasn't thrilled with the entrance, in which he would descend from the rafters in a Superhero like manner as the Blue Blazer. The Blue Blazer wore a cape and a mask, and he would slowly enter the ring, like a bird gliding to it's landing.

The rehearsal went off with no problems. However, Owen verbally stated his discomfort despite the fact that guys like Shawn Michaels, and the Undertaker had performed similar stunts in the past, he still was not comfortable.

That night was a WWF pay-per-view event titled “Over The Edge”. Owen, as the Blue Blazer, was set to take on the Godfather, portrayed by Charles Wright. The character was a pimp-like character who would be accompanied to the ring by scantily clad women who were referred to as “hos”. Owen walked up the catwalk, 78 feet above the ring, where “professional” stunt coordinators proceeded to hook Owen's harness to a clip and pulley apparatus.

Once hooked up, Owen stepped off the catwalk and was suspended in the air, awaiting his entrance. Nobody will ever really know what actually happened but some accounts have stated that Owen, himself, triggered the quick release. Several other's said that the quick release was triggered on it's own. When the clip released, Owen fell from approximately 72 feet (25 meters) to his death.

As he crashed chest first into the turnbuckle in the corner of the ring, the fans at the event though it was a work, that it was part of the show. The audience at home were not treated to the horrific accident, but were watching backstage vignettes and promos at the time. No cameras were rolling inside the actual arena.

Fans, and co-workers of Owen, watched as the REAL EMTs worked on him. Trying hard to revive him. By the time they made it backstage to the waiting ambulance, Owen was gone.

Commentators, Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler, went on the air and informed the pay-per-view audience of the tragedy, while the fans inside the arena had no idea. The show continued, and the wrestler's were given the option to wrestle or not to. Fans at home mourned the loss and the fans inside the arena were left unsettled by what had transpired.

The night that Owen died stands out in my mind. It's just one of those moments in ones life where you remember where you were and what you were doing. My friend April and I were at my house. We decided not to get the pay-per-view that night, but instead hung out in my bedroom where we watched the made-for-Television-movie about Jesse “The Body” Ventura's life and run for Governor.

I actually did not find out until the next morning, when my brother told me that Owen Hard died. Normally I wouldn't believe my brother about things like that but since my brother never watched wrestling in his life, nor had he ever heard of Owen with the exception of my talking about him (Adam never listens when I talk wrestling, so that is also doubtful), I knew it had to be true. I didn't want it to be true. I hoped that it was just a work. I was shocked.

Along with millions of fans around the world, I mourned the loss of a great man. A great son, brother, husband and father. A great wrestler. We mourned along with his family, as his widow invited the fans to the funeral home to hear the service.

It was later revealed that the clip used to hold Owen in his harness, was originally designed for a sailboat which would only require a maximum of 6Ibs to trigger the quick release. Owen weighed 225Ibs.

Just from reading the wrestler's biographies like The Rock, Mick Foley, Edge's and the book his widow, Martha wrote, I learned a lot more about the man who Owen was. He was a guy who preferred to be at home with his family. But on the road he was respected by the entire locker room. He loved pulling pranks and making his fellow friends laugh and smile. He was a loving, caring man who worked as hard as he played. Owen touched many people's lives.

On the anniversary of his death, we are not mourning the loss of an amazing man and wrestler, but choose to celebrate his life. We are two years away from the tenth anniversary and I believe that Owen would want us to smile when we think of him, not cry. We are his fans, and friends from a distance. A faction of people who care enough to stop and raise our glasses of wine, or lemonade, in a silent salute every once in a while to him.

Owen has one more thing to accomplish, and hopefully within the next two years, we will all see him being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. Everyone raise your glasses, smile, think of Owen.

Cheers to you, from all of our Harts!

It has indeed been confirmed that the 2007 Survivor Series will be held at the Bell Centre, in, you ready for this? Montreal. Could this be Mr. McMahon's way of re-creating history? If so, who will be the one screwed? Could it be Shawn Michaels who gets screwed? If it was the Heart Break Kid it would at least make sense, since he was a co-conspirator against Hart 9 years ago. But, would it be justice or a joke if it does happen to HBK? So many questions can and will be asked. There is just one thing for sure and that there will no doubt be a screw job, again, in Montreal in 2007.

For anyone who may be unfamiliar with the Screw Job, probably means that you weren't a fan back in 1997, or you had been living under the Rock...um...er...I mean a rock. Hee! Hee!

November 9, 1997, Montreal, Quebec, Calgary's own Bret “Hitman” Hart was to defend his (then) WWF Heavyweight Championship (which BTW is the same title currently being held by John Cena who has killed all credibility of that particular title). Hart's opponent was his real-life nemesis, Shawn Michaels. The two may have actually disliked (hate) each other, but over the years, prior to Montreal, had some pretty amazing matches (prime example: The Iron Man Match at WrestleMania 12). The next day on Monday Night RAW was to be Bret's final appearance for the WWF as he had signed a multi-million dollar contract with rival company World Championship Wrestling. The plan, according to Bret's documentary “Wrestling With Shadows”, was for Hart to retain his championship only to hand it over the next night on RAW. This way he would have been able to retain his dignity and pride.

As you Newbies probably guessed, that did NOT happen. Mr. McMahon, Jerry Brisco, and Shawn Michaels sat down privately and changed the end of the match. Keeping it Kaye Fabe from from Bret.

The match went on as planned until the ending, where Shawn Michaels strapped on Bret's own finishing move called The Sharpshooter. Mr. McMahon was at ringside for the match (just for interest, this is right before it comes out that the he is in fact the owner of the WWE not just a colour commentator), and he signals for the referee to ring the bell and declare Shawn the winner of the WWF Championship. Bret sat in the middle of the ring completely dumbfounded (as did anyone else who was watching). Bret never tapped out to the submission move. It finally dawned on Hart that he had been screwed. Shawn's buddy, Hunter Hearst Helmsley (a.k.a. Triple H) came down to ringside to escort Shawn away from Bret. They left the building almost immediately.

Bret's pissed, as he should be. He then hawked, what looked like the biggest spit wad (pre- Randy Orton) I have ever seen, right into Mr. McMahon's face. In the locker room after the match, Bret punched Mr. McMahon in the face. Vince got what he deserved.

So that my friends, is the Cole's Notes version of the 1997 Montreal Screw Job.

Think about it, and ask yourself these three questions:

1. Was Vince McMahon justified in his actions against Bret Hart?
2. Morally speaking, do you think Shawn Michaels should have had input on the matches out come?
3. What possible justification will Mr. McMahon have in re-creating this a year from now?

My answer's to these questions are these:

1. Yes absolutely. The WWF/E is Vince McMahon's company, his livelihood. He was simply trying to protect his company from the opposition. He wasn't very trusting of Bret and WCW since having a former employee of his take one of the WWF's championship belts over to WCW only to publicly on national television drop it in the trash can. (BITCH!! And most of you will know who I am referring to). So, can you blame the guy? No you can't. Could he have handled the situation more professionally and maturely? Definitely.
2. Back then it was Shawn Michaels who originally came up with the idea. I think he was just technically protecting the company that he was working for and for good reason. With WCW on the WWE's heals then it was probably the only logical thing to do.
3. None! Nothing! If it is done, and I am about 75% sure that it will, it will be to make a mockery out of it. It will be done to further the history of 1997. At least Earl Hebner (or any Hebner for that matter) is gone and that would cap the end of the “You Screwed Bret” chants. As much as people think He's as much to blame as Mr. McMahon or Shawn Michaels, he really isn't. In fact it wasn't until just before the match when Shawn Michaels informed Earl Hebner of the change in the ending.

Better watch out Mike Chioda, you could be the next referee to be tossed out to the mercy of the Canadian fans. We, like Chris Benoit, are rabid wolverines when it comes to our wrestling (and hockey). By this time next year, we should have the answers. After all, history often repeats itself.
