>Does a fast count and ruins Steve Austin's first title winWas Iron Mike a DX mark for real? How come people bring up Starrcade '97 when this is just as bad?
Mike made up for it and gets a pass because he was a classic wrestling afficinado. When asked about wrestling, he named Jack Dempsey, Frank Gotch, Ed "Strangler" Lewis. Makes sense because of all the boxing film reels Cus D'Amato would show him probably had lots of pro wrestling from the golden age thrown in there as well.
>>19258033Because it wasn't just as bad, obviously and it didn't ruin anything
>>19258033This is the dumbest fucking board on 4chan It's so fucking tiresome
>>19258101It was bad, Austin has talked about this before that when he went to the back he wasn't even happy that he won the title, he was pissed because Mike ruined the ending
Randy Anderson is redeemed at last lol
>>19258033>How come people bring up Starrcade '97 when this is just as bad?The same reason why nobody initially complained when Jericho unofficially won the WWE title from Triple Nose despite an obvious fast countBecause the fans were just glad the right guy got the titlePlus it wasn't like Tyson was a regular trained ref doing a fast count, he was more or less an untrained special guest ref and it was accepted then that special guest refs were sometimes biased and would count fast in their guy's favorStarrcade was bad because they did a regular count then immediately had Bret Hart look like a fucking retard by claiming on camera that the count was fast and for the match to restart, when Hogan technically won fair and square. WM14 didn't have that confusion
>>19258653That's the problem though, Austin was a babyface and now he won his first title by looking weak instead of definitely beating Shawn Obviously in the end it didn't end up harming him or mattering but it's still a botch
>>19258689>but it's still a botchNo argument there, I watched a video of it a few minutes ago and Tyson clearly counted too fastBut he gets a pass for that fuck-up because overall, he was still a big part of why people started watching WWE againThat clip of the brawl between him and Austin got widespread mainstream attention at the time (since it was Tyson just months after his infamous ear-biting moment which got huge mainstream attention)
>>19258033I liked WrestleMania 14. Sunny was so fucking fine bros.
He killed the Attitude Era
It was a shoot botchStarrcade was a worked botch with a whole shitty angle
>>19258089he was also a fan of superstar billy graham and the valiant brothers
>>19258033Mike genuinely likes Shawn though. There was a WWE golf day about 10 years ago and Mike was talking to the Miz. He keeps asking where Shawn is and Miz says he couldn't make it. Mikes head drops and he gets very upset
