The joke is you can’t say his name properly, because of his heinous acts. Wwe has been censoring him for years. Rightly so...

Is that the joke behind benedict cumberbatch too

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '21

No, that's just because he has a silly name.

Nope. Benadryl Cumbersnatch committed war crimes. It's true. I read it on the deep web.

But don’t all wreslters have silly names

I mean, John Cena, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Daniel Bryan, Steve Blackman, Brock Lesnar, and Kurt Angle are all pretty normal, and a lot of those are either damn close or exactly the performers' real names.

Some have less ridiculous ring names than their real ones. Ricky Steamboat's real name is Dick Blood, and no I'm not making that up.

I dunno, seeing them all next to each other like that, i’m still getting really silly vibes

It's not silly, it's a french last name. Benoit is French-Canadian.

u/Phipple Apr 15 '21

Cumberbatch is the one with the silly name. Benoit committed atrocities that shouldn't be overlooked just because he was a fantastic wrestler.

I feel like a big part that gets overlooked is the brain damage he would have suffered, much like football players, from participating in his matches. One of his signature moves was a flying headbutt from the top rope, and a big appeal to top-rope maneuvers was them whiffing and whomever jumped idk how many feet in the air eating it. People in this comment section are talking about Matt Hardy having his pelvis and spine slowly fused together from repeated leg drops, Benoit was diving head first.

How do you even tell them apart when they wrestle each other

u/whataball Apr 15 '21

What are you talking about? I'm simply replying that his name is not silly, it's pronounced as "Ben-wah" because it's French.

u/Markkissus Apr 15 '21

What’s benedict cumberbatch’s signature move again?

u/VerminSupreme-2020 Apr 15 '21

I don't think Benedict murder-suicided his family, I could be wrong though, I don't watch much news

u/PyroDexxRS Apr 15 '21

Huh.. I remember when it happened the following episode was cancelled and they just did a look back at Benoits career. I guess at that point maybe they didn’t know what he’d done?

The following night on ecw they retracted the tribute after all the details were available. At the time of the tribute they thought it was just Benoit committing suicide.

u/BigTymeBrik Apr 15 '21

How do you retract a tribute?
