What kind of makes the Undertaker thing seem that much more psychotic is that when Funk came into the ring, Undertaker asked him "Is he dead?" and when Funk said no, he literally chokeslammed him out of his shoes. Like the crowd didn't know that, but damn.

I think Jericho talked about it on his podcast at some point, or in some kind of interview. He shoved Robinson and yelled "HE'S INJURED, YOU IDIOT!!", but he did so in such a way that he looked like he was just annoyed with Robinson in kayfabe for stopping the count. I believe there was some heat between the two for a little bit, but it was mainly just due to the suddenness of everything and they worked it out soon after, like professionals do.

I still take my hat off for how Eric Bischoff handled the awful match between Sting and Jeff Hardy at Victory Road. Granted, it wasn't subtle. I think everybody and their moms could see how effed up Jeff was. But I still find it very smooth and professional how he handled it He literally gave a new finish to a guy and a zombie, while shooting a promo, with 0.1 seconds of preparation. How Sting was reacting to that promo also added a bit more credibility to everything.

@TheWPhilosopher Жыл бұрын

Yeah that was great work from all but Jeff. Sting even had to legit hurt him a bit to keep him in hold iirc so he didn't do anything too dangerous. I also think iirc it did go a bit longer than a straight finish as it was the main event and when Bischoff goes over to sting and "chats shit" at him I think he said something like see if you can get anything out of him but if not finish it quick. Their first lock up Sting can tell he is in no condition to wrestle so that's when he stiffs him up and ensures her finishes it after that.
