Matches where the wrong guy went over

>>2598446
didn't Rock leave though?
>>2598469
>>2598325
agreed

>>2598386
I was there. Can confirm. Back when I loved Punk, I was fucking pissed.

>>2598486
for scorpion king right?

>>2598513
>>2598486
Yes he did leave. Austin should have just stunned Vince

>>2598486
If Rock turned heel and then used the fact that he was leaving to transition into Hollywood Rock it would have saved the entire business from Austin's garbage attempt at a heel run.

controversial pick but this match was (the only match) worthy of ending the streak

>>2598579
match is meh, ending sucks, but Lawler's heel commentary is pretty kek worthy.

>>2598579
I watched this recently and the whole finish was way blown out of proportion by the Internet. I gained the impression that Haitch pedigree'd Booker and then stood over him for like 30 seconds before going for the pin from the way people described it. Though in the end it really did make no sense at all why Haitch went over.

>>2598552
heel austin may have been one of the first instances we've seen of modern wwe where the fans clearly voice their displeasure (EVERYONE refused to accept Austin as a heel in 2001) but wwe pushes ahead just to spite them regardless

>>2598641
>>2598654

yea who won is the main reason why i just won't watch it, i'm sure the match is fine but the fact that haitch went over makes me seethe.

>>2598670
Austin certainly didn't help when he created "What!?" and played along with crowd by incorporating their chanting of it into his promos. The man was just too good of a face to get people to boo him. Ironically modern WWE needs desperately needs someone like that at the moment.

>>2598579
This. This should be on every smarks playlist to remind them why giving haitch a fruit basket is the shittiest thing in smarkism.

>How the hell do you know he was born on a pool table? Who in the hell told you that? The Fink?

>God knows people don't hold it against you for the mistakes you've made. You're no stranger to a court room.

>Why don't you get off that horse, you've ridden it to the God da... to the ground. To the ground!

>I know where we are. Its Wrestlemania!

>Well, he can use some baby powder and get over being gallded.

>Aww good God, nobody's gonna believe that garbage; that he's trying to help him back in the ring. ...Good God that logic went out in 82!

>I am shocked. I haven't seen anyone use this move in 10 years! (and generally flipping shit over the indian death lock)

>Now you want to direct? You wanna be HHH's fan culb, you're Naich's best buddy, and now you want to be a director. And you've told me now six times in this match that we're at Wrestlemania.

>FLAIR HAS NO BUSINESS UP THERE DAMMIT!

>Well why don't you run down there and give him mouth to mouth resuscitation of you're so damn worried about him?

>Well it aint ballet. It aint your softball league in Memphis. This is a contact sport.

This match is a MUST WATCH for just JR and King's banter.

>CLUMSY BOOKER T FELL DOWN THE STEPS

That line gets me every fucking time.

>>2598325
Fuck no. Ortonetty was never a draw and is one of the most boring main eventers of all time. Hogan was correct to bury that faggot.

>>2599453
He could've been legitimately the greatest of all time if he got out of his own way. This incarnation of Randy had the most potential, and his ring work could only improve from this point. After 2011 he completely stopped fucking caring and became Blandy Boreton.

>Austin refusing to put over Haitch like the pretentious little bitch he is

>>2601229
Haitch was shitty in 1999. Wasn't until his matches with Cactus Jack that he improved

He also beat Austin at No Mercy that year

>>2601260
Summerslam 98 with Rock was an excellent match pls Benoit yourself.

>>2601344
>98
>I said 1999
His run as champion was awful that year

>>2601396
But to say he wasn't good until 2000 isn't accurate. He became a believable top guy after the Cactus Jack feud but he was still solid before then.

>>2601229
wasn't the actual reason Mankind won because Ventura didn't like the idea of raising a heel's hand?

>>2598469
You can hate CM Phil all you want but holy shit was this the worst booking decision ever? Punk was hot as anything in the business in a decade and somehow they booked him in a match with a semi-retired HHH and had Kevin fucking Nash interfere for the finish.

I wonder how they sold that shit to Punk...

>>2598579
Yeah this is one of those rare matches where they fucked up horribly with the winner.

>>2599168
>Booker T's family portrait is a courtroom sketch

>I went to the mall yesterday with Booker he tried to pay for everything with cigarettes

Seriously though even King's commentary seems so off with the result of the match.

>>2598641
I just watched it again to listen to Lawler's commentary, after watching the last few WMs it's weird seeing a match that doesn't have 5 finishers and LE SHOCKED FACE after.

I feel like neither of these dudes are actually looking at the camera...

>>2598654
>Though in the end it really did make no sense at all why Haitch went over.
They wanted Goldberg to end the reign of terror.

>>2603106
Shawn looks like he's talking to somebody to the left of the camera.

Undertaker...well. Y'know.

Haitch vs Austin @ No Way Out 2001.
>Setting up Austin vs Rock @ WM17
>Austin loses match to Haitch, making him wook weak
>Rock beats Angle, making him the champ

Why have Austin lose a feud if he's going to the main event of WM? Wouldn't you want the challenger for the strap look strong? Idk, maybe it is just me.

>>2601229
I still wanted Chyna to win the belt.

>>2603225

Austin lost to HHH so he realized he needed help to win so he allied with Vince at WM

Was this the worse CENAWINSLOL moment ever?

Bockwinkel going over Hogan in the AWA.

>>2603225
Austin didn't have it anymore so needed Vince's help to win. His heel turn made perfect sense.

>>2603465
It still makes me laugh that they unironically tried to sell Bret Hart as a pro wrestler in 2010.

Everyone who remembered him wrestle was old enough to know he couldn't take a single blow to the head, and everyone too young had no idea what the fuck this old man in jorts and aviators was doing in the ring.

>>2603465
I've always felt like this was always blown extremely out of proportion. The Nexus sucked. Barrett was the only guy with talent, and the rest were vanilla midgets or roided up jobbers. And plus, lets not pretend that Nexus were ever meant to be anything other than something for Cena to overcome.

WWE could have made Ambrose the biggest star they had in years with one match.

>>2603470
Yeah. To me the mania match was passable because it was more of a segment then a match but he shouldn't have done any matches after

Honestly I fucking hate the rock. He's basically the sole reason with have so many overpushed part timers, and he's also a pretty big reason they are so hot on Reigns.

>>2603474
blame Brock for not wanting to take/do any great spots for that blunder
