[Booker Thee]

Glad to see Eddie get recognized for his talent and success. One can only hope the apparent heel turn pushes him back to the top where he belongs.

[Booker Thee]

From Idiot on the manson board:

"Yeah, except that you claimed that Benoit was nothing compared to Eddie, and yet Benoit finished ahead of Eddie every time they were on the same list. Learn to read, retard, before you start typing again" - Problemsolver

[Booker Thee]

Actually I am a big fan of Benoit's and am glad to see him get the recognition he deserves as well. But Eddie is on a (seemingly) weaker brand with less company support and his success deserves applause.

Only a 'retard' would think otherwise, right?
