Of course. I feel a right twonk now! 19 hours ago, Uncle Zeb said: It happened with Rick Flair as well. Just people becoming set in their ways after encountering the other spelling first, and lacking the intellectual capacity to entertain multiple versions of the same name. Seen it less with Sean Michaels though. Yes, I knew there was another one. Couldn't think of it though. To the other answers, fair enough I suppose.

Paid Members gmoney Posted March 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2020 You often see it spelled Mitsuharu "Misawa", but technically it should be translated "Musawa". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bbabba Posted March 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 22, 2020 Is there a standard rule in wrestling or WWE with regard to what breaks a count out? Was just watching an episode of 205 Live from a couple of months ago (quarantine catch up) and in two successive matches different rules were applied. In the first match, the two wrestlers were outside and the ref started the ten count. At the 8 count, wrestler A got back into the ring (and stayed there), wrestler B remained outside. The ref then reset the ten count for wrestler B on the outside. Same thing happened in the very next match, except this time when wrestler A made it back into the ring on the 8 count, the ref carried on at 9 for wrestler B and counted him out. I would always say the latter scenario is correct, and that wrestler A would have to go back outside to restart wrestler B's count. But I've seen WWE apply the former scenario on several situations.

lanky316 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 In the past you used to see a heel roll in and then roll straight back out to "break the count" but it's one of those things where they seem to make it up depending on the story they're telling for the match.

There was a lawsuit between him and WWE over the use of the name, oddly enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members BomberPat Posted March 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2020 WWE refs are always taught that a count-out stands for both men - so if it's broken by one, you should continue the count on the other. In practice, I see it the other way around far more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted March 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2020 In kayfabe, I reckon it depends if there's been an offensive move on the outside. Like if the heel twats the babyface with a chair on 8 and gets back in, that inteferes with the babyface's ring-out time so it restarts it when the heel comes back in.

I forget the match now, but I am fairly confident it was Evan Bourne winning vs someone higher up the card than him. It really annoyed me at the time, like when the ref threatens a DQ in submission-only matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted March 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted March 23, 2020 Does WWF/WWE booking get any more inconsistent than the 1993 KOTR qualifiers where they had Mr Perfect and Doink draw twice before a third match sorted it out, while Crush and HBK drew and were both eliminated to conveniently set up the IC title match?

King of the Ring was a shit idea anyway. Doing a tournament just because it's the name of the PPV, rather than it building organically from eight wrestlers being interested in the monarchy.

Cannibal Man Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 with everyone on JR generally, but i'm watching a RAW with a TIT match on, and JR introduces the prizes that's supposed to be along the lines of "the glamorous managerial stylings of terri runnels" type thing, but he lets it out in a way that has the purest essence 'they get this auld boiler and a hundred ton nicker' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
