HumanChessgame Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I'd always heard it was because he didn't want to do a job (or what amounted to a job anyways). Then again they've always played fast and lose with the "you can't eliminate yourself" rule to fit whatever the angle was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's what I asked in my first post. It's certainly consistent with what I've heard of Mascaras's reputation. 1 hour ago, HumanChessgame said: Then again they've always played fast and lose with the "you can't eliminate yourself" rule to fit whatever the angle was. True, but somewhat beside the point, seeing how Mascaras, you know, never went over the top rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmed Johnson actually eliminated himself near the beginning of the Rumble too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Ahmed really did eliminate himself like a moron. Mascaras did not. And rewatching it reminded me that because of the booking at the end, every other competitor in the thing did in fact get thrown over the top rope. Mil Mascaras is the rightful 1997 Royal Rumble winner! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I think I disagree. Once he climbed to the top rope, I think that counted as re-entering the ring, so when he dove to the floor, he eliminated himself. The next ppv should've been Final Five with Faux Diesel. (I know, the ruling was because the other three were eliminated by Austin after he had been tossed, but the name is a damnable lie) Anyway, I went to bed without watching the main event last night, so gonna fix that now. Although iirc, survivor series was the good Sid/Shawn match 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) IIRC the Sid/Shawn series (is it a series if there's only two?) came up in the Old School Questions thread a few years back. I'd have to dig to find what page it's on though. EDIT: ah, page 61. I thought I'd said that same thing before.

Tromatagon Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Mil needing to eliminate himself (and the story about it) is why Prichard's podcast sells a No Yob shirt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Okay - I will preface this with Ruby acknowledging that she has no idea if it is actually true but... On the new Table for 3 which is the Riott Squad - Ruby Riott tells the a story where she says that she was told that the reason the Riott Squad was formed was because Vince watched Suicide Squad and decided he wanted a Harley Quinn, Joker and Beast type character Assuming there is truth to at least Vince watching the Suicide Squad - he is almost caught up in his pop culture references.

Matt D Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 The best part of that is Logan trying to figure out who the heck she's supposed to be there (which is a valid question). If only she knew, she might have tried to portray a scientist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I've seen refs lay a ten-count on a wrestler who's on the top rope waiting to dive off. On the top rope is not inside the ring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be completely fair, his wife does work with Steve Mnuchin who was one of the Executive Producers, so he probably watched to make sure he didn't sound like an idiot around him.

LoneWolf&Subs Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 In defense it’s apparently a gimmick now, but then again it probably isn’t a stretch for him to play a depressed un-used talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Speaking of Sasha, I saw on Instagram she was shooting some content for WWE 2K20, so she'll at least be in the video game, not that it means much but worth mentioning I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
