HBK was a cunt but he wasn't evil. The little lad needed help, It was nice to see HBK help him

 

One of my favourite moments of that match, that and the sportsmanship from Austin to hold the ropes for Shawn to return to the ring and continue

Thought it’d be fun watching the In Your Houses from the start seeing as I couldn’t watch them in 95/96 and it’s never struck me to bother watching them on the network/Netflix til now 

weird seeing matches end without a load of finishers, Diesel beating Sid with a shite big boot in the lumberjack match being a stand out

some weird results booking wise as well, Razor and Jannetty beating Sid and Kid in the heels first big ppv tag match was a choice, would’ve thought Sid powerbomb on Jannetty was the obvious finish 

nice being reminded how unpolished everything used to be despite the high production values, I don’t mind WWE nowadays but it’s a completely different product compared to this

Man I have always had a soft spot for in your house 2 ...shawn vs Jarrett I had the vhs years ago I think there was dark match on the tape if I recall Bret vs jean Pierre or was that on the main show

Especially weird considering Sid & Kid were pencilled in to beat the Gunns for the tag belts at the Rumble until Sid decided he couldn’t be bothered any more while driving Bob Holly to New Haven.

If that’s not a euphemism for something then I don’t know what is.

Nothing new, but Michaels vs Mankind from Mind Games is absolutely excellent.

A brutal, brutal match full of sick looking (and sounding) bumps which only has one bum note. Early on it looks like Mankind is refusing to take an Irish Whip, then Michaels goes to the opposite corner and sets up for a reverse crossbody from Brets rope and old Mick hasn't followed him.

A visibly pissed off Michaels goes back to the original corner and does say something. Dunno what happened there, but Shawn was fairly right to be annoyed.

Anyway cracking match, the roof comes off the gaff when Taker appears out of the casket. Extremely good shit. 

Next up the Final Four match, waheeeeeeeey!

Shawn claimed in his shoot interview way back that that was planned between him and Foley, to play off the little hissy fit he had in the Vader match at SummerSlam the month before. To get the dirt sheets talking or whatever. For whatever that’s worth because he seemed full of shit for a lot of that interview from what I recall. Chewing and spitting his manky tobacco the whole time. Can’t remember if Foley confirmed it in his books or interviews but that was Shawn’s version.

That "botch" was actually something Foley suggested based on the Vader match to make it look real.

Might have worked as well if he wasn't such a massive cunt all the time in that period.

I remember watching it on TWC and wondering why for the bulk of the interview he looked like he had a gobstopper in his mouth. Then he started spitting it out in his little cup. For this alone I can see why Bret wanted to rip his throat out every time he saw him for a while.

Yes, Foley confirmed this was a work in his first book.

Shawn and Mick did a retrospective of the match together on the Edge and Christian podcast and Mick confirmed it was a work and his idea.

Would love to see them try and pull off something as subtle as that nowadays, it’d probably be accompanied by a shot of Hunter and Heyman with their heads in their hands mouthing ‘THEY BOTCHED THE SPOT’

[wandshogun09]

Or Shawn would be in front of the hard cam loudly saying to Mick, “THAT WASN’T IN THE SCRIPT, NIMROD!”

It'd be someone ended up looking like Rimmer doing that great bit from Richard III. 'Nowwwwwww'
