WWE makes slight mistake - Taker / Michaels and Chris Benoit notes

[Evil Austin]

On this week's WWE RAW segment between Undertaker and Shawn Michaels, it was stated that The Undertaker has never "beaten" Shawn Michaels. Whilst this is true in one-on-one competition, Undertaker has in-fact scored several victories in tag team action including Undertaker/Mankind vs D-Generation X on Monday Night RAW in 2007 and of course in the 2007 Royal Rumble, Undertaker eliminated HBK to win the match.

In case it hasn't already been brought up, an interesting thing about the 25th Anniversary of Wrestlemania issue of WWE magazine, the cover says every match but for some odd reason the index skips from Wrestlemania XIX to Wrestlemania 21. I searched through virtually the entire magazine, and there is no matches listed for Wrestlemania XX, yet at the time they made a big deal about WM20 being "where it all begins again". Strange they avoid that just to completely ignore Chris Benoit, yet he is still listed for Royal Rumble winners.


-- I know it's not the most important peice of information but I thought I would post.

Taker teamed with Foley in 07? Hmmm, I don't remember that.

As far as Benoit, I saw a 2009 WWE Encyclopedia at a local bookstore the other day. Has basically every stat imaginable, and yet Benoit was in there for everything. Even had his own profile. So he's obviously not ignored by everything.

I'm 90% sure Undertaker DID not team with Mankind in '07. Thats probably a typo because Foley was in his well um Foley gimmick all 2007.

Probably meant during the attitude era, which I'm positive the two teamed up, and more than likely faced DX.

The Benoit thing, they still mention him in the results page of WM XX so they aren't completly shafting him. Also, they include a section called "the main event" of WM XX which details the build for the match well. Including every aspect of Benoit. The first line is something like "Benoits wanted the championship for 18 years of his life.".

yeh with the typo I didn't do it; I just copied and pasted it from the news site. Maybe instead of 2007 they meant 1997? but I guess the point still comes across.

That thing isn't true. HHH went down injured at the very start of 2007, and was out until Summerslam 07, but when he came back, DX didn't get back together, so it's not even possible that there was a DX vs Taker/Foley match. There was however a HBK/Cena vs Batista/Taker match.

 

[THE Renegade Diesel]

Two actually. So yeah, this report seems phony as hell.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

It was 1997, that's when DX began if I remember correctly.

 

[Airfixx]

^^^That would make sense as Taker & HBK (and HHH & Foley!) were fueding during the summer of '97 (i.e. After HBK costs Taker the title @ SSlam97 and had their matches at IYH 17 & 18).

"I heard someone's talking about me!"

Why the hell do they even report shit like the stuff with Benoit? Who gives a shit! They always say that stupid sarcastic stuff too like "interestingly this information was not included" blah blah blah. They bitch when he is mentioned and then they bitch when he isn't mentioned, wrestling news reporters are idiots and they should go back to school and learn how to be grammatically correct when trying to be professional about posting wrestling news.
