I'd heard that Brock had been able to do a Shooting Star Press in OVW, so I was the only one who knew what he was doing. So I'm marking out, my friends are marking but puzzled-- Then Brock lands on his face. And we all went from mark-out to

Angle was in perfect position for the turnbuckle nearest to us on the right, but for some reason the big dullard went to the opposite one and nearly killed himself.

Sometimes with a submission hold, the referee will raise a guy's arm three times, and if it drops then he calls for the bell. Other times the referee just kinda swats the guy's arm, or lets it drop one time and then calls for the bell immediately. Is there any kayfabe reason for this?

I don't think anybody can do a SSP out that far, pretty perplexing attempt. Also for all the fascinating stuff about WM19, "The Mania of Wrestlemania" doc is a must-watch.

I would rationalize it as a guy who's still conscious but fading, compared to a guy who's obviously just dead weight.

LightsGameraAction posted:During one of the promos for one of the HHH-Taker Mania matches, HHH is talking about how tough Undertaker is, and he mentions a time Taker had to wrestle with broken ribs, so he put on a bullet proof vest and went out to wrestle. It's true, and it was in his feud with Yokozuna.

Drewjitsu posted:I thought he broke his ankle/hurt his ankle when he dropped down from the cage. Mick talks about it in his book, that Taker had a broken foot/ankle, and either something was wrong with Mick or he just wasn't feeling it, so they decided to fight on top of the cage instead of having a "real" match. I imagine Taker's foot was taped up pretty tight but still.

Mick's issue is that he hated doing cage matches because he never thought he performed well in them, and that he wasn't the athlete Shawn Michaels was, plus Taker had a broken foot. Then Terry Funk suggested starting the match on top of the cage because he's insane, and Mick went ahead and did it because he's insane too.

At PPV, Raw, Smackdown, anything televised etc. the arena lights are up so the viewers at home can see the crowds, because a hot crowd helps to sell the event better to the people watching on TV. At the house shows nobody cares what the crowd look like since nobody outside of the building will ever see it short of random cellphone clips people put on youtube when something interesting happens so there's no point in lighting them up.

Someone correct me if im wrong here but afaik the first one has always been a part of pro wrestling, while the second one is something WWE recently stole from MMA. Also I don't think I've ever seen the former happen to a heel, or result in a decision.

Years later I looked up the card and I was amazed that I forgot I witnessed Rock/Austin and loving Vince/Hogan.
