Unfortunately, we have to talk about Chris Benoit again. Feel free to skip this one if that still feels icky. This is the last time.
Kieran & Mark saddle up the tandem for their obligatory coverage of Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit from the Royal Rumble on January 19, 2003.
Apologies for Mark sounding a bit RoboCop this week; technical difficulties. We’ll reboot him and upgrade his firmware for next week.
PLUS: fainting, lard, chocolates, The Smackdown Six, wooden horses, new puppy John Cena, convoluted booking, a soaking wet camera, indoor waterfalls, Jim Ross’s Michael Cole puppet, big veins, fluffy hair, Cole’s dark crystal ball, suplex chat, the return of the Open Up Them Fists dance, the looming spectre of The Big Show, ten Germans to Stone Cold, Kieran Partridge, and things we do and don’t notice.
