Why have you "under-sold" everyone's questions about referee Chad Patton being left in the dark on the Taker-Brock finish? You seem to be the only one's who don't think this was insane and could have had disastrous consequences (ref not counting w the assumption that The Undertaker would kick out). I think I speak for every fan when we say that we don't buy that Refs can stop their arm motion in a supposed 3-count with 100 percent accuracy. The end of the streak could not be left to chance. Now if The Undertaker could have whispered to the referee, "that's the finish" or "make the three count"...that's plausible. But not letting the ref in on the finish in such a historic match is implausible. I along with everyone else don't buy it.
You and everyone else? If everyone else doesn't buy it, then why do people I talk to buy it? That means everyone does not agree. The ref is told to count the pin. That is what he did. Taker didn't kick out. So it was a pin. If Taker had been legit KO'd and the finish was supposed to be that he won, they would have told Patton what to do on the headset. Again, the refs are told not to assume. They are told to count what they see. It's up to the wrestlers to make sure that the planned finish happens.
Hypothetical.... If HHH and Stephanie separated, would H keep his position behind the scenes, and continue to be en route to the big chair one day, or would he be relieved and eventually a TNA Exec in Nashville?
It is impossible to say at this point, it would depend on all of the circumstances. With that said, Vince McMahon has almost always shown he will put personal feelings aside to do what he thinks is best for the company. Frankly, H has shown he is great for the company. I think unless he does something heinous, which I don't see happening, he will stay with the company no matter what.
I'm kind of concerned about Alberto Del Rio, he can't get past the first round of the Intercontinental Championship tournament, and then loses to Big E. Do you think this is more about building up the IC title?
WWE hasn't pushed him well for a while now. There is talk that he will leave when his contract is up. I hope that doesn't happen. I think he has a lot to offer.
So I've seen Warrior: The Ultimate Legend, and I feel like we've still not gotten the full story on Warrior's supposed "holding up" of Vince McMahon for $500,000. McMahon's side of the story has been well documented, but it seems like they left out much of Warrior's side. So what is the full story? I don't doubt there were some sort of demands made, but there has to be some reason why Warrior felt justified in doing so.
The only ones that know the full story are those that were on the inside. At the end of the day, Warrior felt he was worth what Hulk Hogan was getting and stood his ground. I respect that.
Do you see Evolution adding a new member like Adrian Neville or Bo Dallas once Triple H goes back to his behind the scene role? Do you see Evolution as a way to break up the Shield?
Just the opposite. I see Evolution as being a short term vehicle who will, in the end, put The Shield over and elevate them, then go their seperate ways. That is how I see it going anyway.
