PWINSIDER Q&A: WWE SCREENING ECW ONLINE, THE ROCKERS' WWF TITLE WIN AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2007-12-18 10:00:03

I was watching disc 2 of the new Shawn Michaels DVD and I had a few questions. I was wondering in a 2 out of 3 falls match if the champions) get either disqualified or get counted out do the championships) still change hands or is it just count as a fall for the other opponents)?

WWE has gone either way in the past. In some matches, the titles were retained by the champions and in others, they did title changes, most notably the Brainbusters defeating Demolition for the WWF Tag Team championships in 1989 on Saturday Night's Main Event.

Also why didn't WWF at the time not go back later on down the road and make the Rockers tag team champions even if they got a big pop after winning the belts from the Hart Foundation in a 2 out of 3 falls match with the top rope breaking during the first fall?

The Rockers were getting the belts because WWF had made the decision to drop Jim Neidhart from the roster. When Vince McMahon reconsidered, they decided to scrap the title change altogether. It was never acknowledged nationally.

I noticed that there was no announcers during the Rockers vs. Hart Foundation 2 out of 3 falls match is there some reason why that is? Couldn't WWE have any of their announcers and either their color commentator or say on of the wrestlers who was a fan come in and call the match?

It was just a decision to put the match on Raw, possibly so those watching the match could hear the reaction of the wrestlers once the ropes broke. I did find it surprising as WWE is known for putting commentary on old footage, even some matches that don't need new commentary tracks.

Was the original plan for the 1992 Survivor Series going to be a rematch from Summerslam between The British Bulldog and Bret Hart or was it always going to be champion vs. champion no matter whom held the titles?

The match was always booked to be Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart. They moved the Intercontinental championship to Michaels when the decision was made to fire Davey Boy Smith for allegedly trying to circumvent the WWF's testing policies in 1992.

Do you think Sci-Fi might get mad at WWE for showing full episodes of ECW online, since people might not watch it on Sci-Fi when they realize they can just watch it later online?

No, WWE wouldn't have made the call to start airing the episodes online unless they have the approval of the SciFi Network, especially once a new deal was set between the two sides to continue the ECW series.
