Per Bischoff’s book Hogan was pissed that he was out of shape so he used his creative control to change the finish.

“Hogan, on the other hand, felt that Sting hadn’t really committed, or he would have shown up in better shape. Therefore, he wasn’t that eager to have the match finish the way Sting wanted it to finish.
The way a wrestler wins or loses can be as important as the result. Losing a match on a disqualification, for example, is viewed far differently than losing on a submission. It’s not just a matter of ego. It has
“implications for future storylines and the characters involved.
Of course, Hogan had creative control over the outcome of his matches. So I was caught in the middle.
We came up with a finish that mimicked what had happened to Bret Hart in Montreal. Sting would lose, or seem to lose, on a quick count by referee Nick Patrick. Bret Hart would rush in, shouting something along the lines of, “I’m not going to let this happen again.” He’d toss the crooked ref from the ring and set up Sting to flatten Hogan with a scorpion deathlock. It wasn’t the finish Sting wanted, because it wasn’t clean, but it seemed like a decent compromise between two powerful pieces of talent”

Sting taking that high road

 

[Ozymandias]

For real?

Rogen says a lot of things, doesn't mean it's true.

 

[MaveDeltzer]

Lana picked up her first WWE win over GotY, Bayley.



Big E was spitting fire in the comments.

Next week is the end of the first round with the Champion Robe Warriors (Roode & Charlotte) vs Titus Worldwide (Nia & Apollo).

How many jobs does @D.R.H. have @Jobber?

 

[Amerikuracana]

Smackdown crowd was live tonight.. Real positive. It's ok when the majority cheer for who they are somewhat supposed to.. Makes more hardcore fans cheering for their guy no matter actually mean something.

Jinder brought some fire. Randy... talked. A little bit of planning went into things. The crowd was live. Good show.

 

[Casrot]

Hmmm.









Agreeable trash.

 

[J Danger]

Watching Gargano vs Almas

First observation:
Johnny Wrestling’s theme music sucks

This is the first time I’m going to see him wrestle. I’m pretty sure I saw Almas wrestle once when he was new to nxt but I don’t remember anything about it

 

[J Danger]

Cien Almas is Spanish for “100 Souls” according to google translate, maggle

Poor bastard hits the main roster as his fiancé is on the other brand being smashed by Braun. Then he gets to spend time with her on the road and welll it’s...

How dare you this song is great

That original Almas gimmick was shit but he's come into his own a lot since he won the NXT championship.

In hindsight, he doesn't look that great especially considering he had over a year to prepare for this one match

Still should've got the clean win though

It doesn’t work for me, brother.

Accurate. Still should have done business though. This was the beginning of the end for wcw on the creative side. Very few storylines that had conclusive endings or followed the face/heel booking formula that makes a product successful after this.
