CENA VS. ROCK, OWEN HART WINNING THE WWF TITLE, SIN CARA AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2011-04-12 10:00:00

Is it just coincidence that Rock & Cena will fight on April Fool's Day? (BTW, all the hype I hear about this fight…isn't this the same thing I heard when Rock fought Hogan years ago?)

They are fighting that day since that's the day Ultimate Warrior pinned Hulk Hogan.

After all the talk, and all the promotion, Sin Cara's first fight is against…..Primo????

Yes. In hindsight, they picked the wrong guy and the wrong match style for Cara to make a strong impression.

Does Mistico/Sin Cara speak English? If not, is he going to have find a manager like Khali & Umaga did?

Cara doesn't speak much English but is learning. Spanish is spoken regularly in the United States so I don't think he'll need a manager plus the non-speaking role is a great way to build an aura.

I just recently saw a video of Owen Hart defeating Bret for the WWF title on youtube. Can you provide an explanation of why this happened, and why Owen was never given the opportunity. I heard during the taping of the match that Bret wasn't even the real Champion. What was going on here?

The match was part of a taping that saw the match re-started and then Bret defeated Owen. I don't know you can say Owen wasn't given an opportunity as he worked main events for the company all through 1994 and was a top level performer after that for several years.

Is it just me or did anyone else enjoy the Lawler / Swagger match when there was no play by play and you heard cole and JR at ringside. To me it was like I was there live sitting in front row. Do you think the WWE will do more stuff like that?

I thought it was a great departure from your typical match presentation. I don't think it would be as unique if they did it every week but it's certainly a trick they should pull out every now and then.
