Daniel Bryan posted:The '98 Survivor Series was THE DEADLY GAME. No Chance In Hell was the tagline and theme for the craptastic '99 Royal Rumble (because Austin had no chance to win it). It became the Corporation's theme not long after, and Vince kept it after the Corporation disbanded. Yeah, I honestly can't believe I got this one mixed up. I knew what I did wrong as soon as I read the quote in your post. I forget, did they use any music for Vince before he had No Chance in Hell?

I explained the joke to HR, and they laughed and then said "eh, just don't wear it here, but I agree, this is dumb. Just keep the peace."

Yes, I'm sarcastically certain that doing nothing about a complaint and laughing about it is a sure sign that they really did care and were secretly conspiring to do something about it.

I Before E posted:The Edge and Christian/Dudleyz/Hardyz trilogy: Mania 2000, Summerslam 2000, Mania X-7 I really liked that it was the face commentator showing their bias, and the heel who was playing it straighter. Maybe this happens all the time, but normally I associate the face commentator with being "right" all the time

St Evan Echoes posted:The Summerslam match has one of my favourite bits of commentary in it, at the end. JR is cussing the result because "the biggest cry-babies in the match retained the titles" and Lawler calls him out on it, saying that anyone who came out on top of a match like that deserves credit (to which JR grudgingly agrees) I think this bit of JR/King interplay comes from the way JR calls matches without knowing what's going to happen, or who's going over. He doesn't have all week to think of how to react, he just reacts the way he feels at the time.
