    Wrestling Conspiracy Theories

    This is a real conspiracy theory of mine:

    Hansen didn't actually break Bruno's neck.  Bruno wanted some time off, so they worked this angle, and the idea was to give the rub to a young Hansen for the injury. 

    Plausible. How does Vince Sr. seeing Bruno in the hospital begging him to return earlier for the Shea Stadium card (because the Ali-Inoki main event was going to bomb) fit in there…?

    I actually think there are moments when the fingerpoke could have worked. WWE did something similar a year prior when Shawn Michaels laid down for Triple H for the European title as a means of sticking it to Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter. WCW probably figured they could do the same. The problem is that WCW went about it completely the wrong way. Aside from advertising a rematch from their big PPV and hyping it up, and then not delivering it, WCW had been in a habit of not delivering matches they advertised, or if they did, they were underwhelming DQ finishes. If they had actually delivered clean finishes for months beforehand, this would have hit different. If the match was advertised from the start as Nash vs Hogan, it would have hit different. Instead, it was a swerve on top of a swerve to a fanbase that had been swerved repeatedly for years. It wasn't some big tide-changing thing. It was the straw that broke a lot of backs.

    That Georgia Dome crowd of 30,000+ came to see Goldberg…and saw him get detained at a police station in a series of terrible segments. Fortunately he showed up just in time to get pissed on and spray painted by yet another nWo formation. You are correct, this was the straw that broke a lot of backs.

    if you were thrown into a situation of fighting 75 year old Ric Flair, would you chop him in the chest or would that be risking being charged for the death of Ric Flair after he Flair Flops to the ground

    You do a most muscular pose like Lex Luger. Instinct will kick in and he will beg off immediately without touching.

    EDIT: sorry to Technico and Shartnado. I didn’t see their responses in my pursuit of a witty comeback. Great minds and all…
