When the WWE plays or releases footage of the Bret Hart hall of fame induction, how do they pretend that Chris Benoit wasn't sitting behind the podium the whole time?

WeaselWeaz posted:Reports are that it's a combination of getting passed over to run the company, wanting to make it on his own, Vince took over the WWF at his age), and a blow-up that happened between him and Vince. Wow, thanks for answering so well!

LividLiquid posted:Lots of reasons, but the most recent one he gave is after Booker T. showed up and the Rock asked, "Who in the blue hell are you?" Sting didn't trust McMahon to treat his character with any respect. That makes sense. I always thought it was weird to build up Jericho's debut to the huge pop he debuted to as Y2J, then proceed to have the Rock insult him and book him to lose to Chyna. Vince probably wouldn't give Sting's character any real respect because he didn't "make him".

Can someone tell me a little about the legit heat between the Rock and HBK? Someone once told me that HBK picked on the Rock when he was new, and that when Bret Hart wanted to lose to the Rock clean in an IC title match, HBK had a shitfit and convinced Vince not to let it happen. But the person who told me this is a huge Bret Hart fan and anti-HBK guy, so I had to take it with a grain of salt. What is the problem between Rocky and Shawn?

Shitty_Wok posted:Have there been many (any?) matches where the person who was supposed to win never kicked out? Along these lines: Has a result ever been changed in the ring? Like, say HHH blows his quad again and realizes it, would he change the result on the fly so he doesn't win the title and then have the vacate it the next night?

dusty udder smoker posted:Mankind was originally supposed to win the belt at IYH: Mind Games against Shawn Michaels in 96, but for whatever reason, the finish was changed to become a DQ mid match. This is pretty notable since you see Vince talk to Shawn at ringside and you get to see him throw a little prima donna fit. Well now I HAVE to find this match

Why didn't Kenny from the spirit squad last with WWE? For a time - to me - it looked as though he was going to be the one from the group who stuck around as a singles star.

The Spirit Squad did poo poo off of a trampoline and I thought that was sweet as hell. As for content: After reading the Vince Russo Q&A session where he jizzes in his pants over Randy Orton, and seeing how much the WWE lets him get away with without firing, I have to wonder what exactly it is about him that makes him so great? I mean I am an Orton fan, and although it sucks that his attitude backstage is terrible, I don't let that cloud my opinion of him... but he doesn't really have anything that, say, Edge doesn't also have does he?

It depends whether they held BFA2010 between now and Cena regaining his title, because he's vowed not to lose at all 'til then, and Cena would not lie.

LividLiquid posted:If you think Nitros with Eddy Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Rey Misterio, Jr. (as he was then known), Chris Jericho, Juventud Guerrera, Psychosis, Raven, DDP, Goldberg, Bret Hart, Curt Hennig and their contemporaries putting on four star matches every single week equates to a mediocre product, I'm fairly certain you should just be branded a WWE fanboy whose opinion on things beyond the fed don't count. I think people often forget that Bischoff did go out and sign up basically all the talent available to him and the WCW undercard was stocked with an unbelievable array of wrestlers. It's easy to forget, though, because during those matches the announcers were always talking about the nWo / Goldberg and hardly furthering undercard storylines.

WeaselWeaz posted:False. WCW hired Americans from Japan and luchadores because they wanted good matches too. The idea was put the big stars in the main event because they would draw, but since their matches would be bad you put great matches in the undercard. It was a logic that successful before the promotion started going downhill. I agree with this. I also think that - at the beginning - Eric Bichoff had the best of intentions. They were going to ride the big names in the main event to get the great wrestlers they snatched up from all over some exposure, so they could eventually rise and take the main event. The road to hell and all that.

I think Cole was scripted that way to give his partner a chance to list all the reasons why Daniel Bryan's accomplishments should, indeed, be taken seriously by the WWE Universe.

Was the intention ever to actually let Shane run WCW as a separate entity? It seems like it would have made sense to do it that way...

So wrestlers use tanning beds like every other day... and if I believe all the warnings I've been given over the years, tanning beds are 10 - 300 times more dangerous than the sun. Why isn't the melanoma rate among wrestlers sky-high? Or is it? I've done a little looking, but I don't see any wrestlers who've died of skin cancer.

I try to avoid internet wrestling stuff because I don't like spoilers in any respect, so I miss things that are internet sensations, Bryan included. As a result, I have no prior affinity to him or emotional stake in his success, but I do watch NXT every week and he is clearly the star of the show. If the Academy were giving out awards, he'd be in the Best Actor category whilst the other most-used guys like Barret and Sheffield would be in the Supporting Actor category. His win-loss record is inconsequential, much like Chris Jericho's is.

Lone Rogue posted:Pretty much, because Canada doesn't always follow status quo. Our audiences will sometimes decide to cheer who we want to cheer (especially Canadian talent) and we also tend to be smart (much like Philly crowds, but not with as much history). I chalked it up to smarkiness for the most part, but the reception Hogan got at Wrestlemania X8 was extremely unsmarky. Also, why are Canadian tastes all generally the same, by which I mean what makes the majority of a Canadian audience decide to feel the opposite of how the bookers want them to feel?

I didn't think Vince took it personally that his former employees tried to make money in other companies. I could see Ric Flair having heat with HBK after Shawn's "I won't disrespect the Undertaker by making a comeback" line, but otherwise going to TNA doesn't seem like it would insult anyone.

I could see the Miz becoming the face in the Daniel Bryan feud by accident. Bryan seems like he could end up being like Rocky Miavia, with his clean-cut "I love spending time with my family and eating veggies" stuff and the crowd might eventually just hate him for it.

If it's not a work, then TNA is going to be wasting money on lawyers that they should be wasting on wrestling stars from the 1990s.
