>>19959700Idk ask Sngroli Ort
>>19959700That's just how you play the game.
This match was retarded. Austin went on to main event and win at Wrestlemania (the very next fucking PPV) while Hunter jobbed to Taker. Moronic booking. Another reason to hate Paul
>>19961411It's called balancing heat pal. Austin winning made people forget about the loss and HHH was still able to maintain his momentum despite losing to Taker in a close match
>>19961411>>19961473Funny shit is that up to the very night of the match Haitch was booked to win. It was a last minute change to push Taker as the new top baby face against the new heel Austin.The streak didnt really become a thing before 2002
>>19959700Austins heel turn was retarded
2001 was a year where Vince missed every easy layup
>>19961411HHH won for storyline reasons, to set up the Austin heel turn. Austin loses against HHH, fears he won't be able to beat Rock, who's at the absolute height of his power, and sells his soul to Vince to become champion again because he needs to be The Guy again.As much as people hated the Austin heel turn and didn't want it, this fed into it from a storyline perspective, even the subsequent teaming with HHH was like why not ally with the rival he couldn't beat to help hold on to his position after he'd already allied with Vince?
>>19961411It was revenge for austin not putting over h at summerslam
