Loss Posted December 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Piper makes the Bret/Shawn main event at Wrestlemania a 60-minute Ironman match. And Vince sure does love it when Shawn lowers his tights to show off his abs. Could Vince have possibly laid on the Shawn love any thicker?

Robert S Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 The Michaels and Bret stuff here was dying a horrible death, a five minute tirade of two guys saying "I respect you, but I think I am a bit better than you" is not what sells PPVs (or even keep TV viewers). Piper at least brought some fire into this, though I would not say he saved the segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Evil Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I still remember watching this from 1996. I obviously loved the segment because it's still in my memory. Personally, it did a great job for me in setting up Wrestlemania XII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Ridge Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Piper mentions he doesn't like the crowd booing Bret. I wasn't hearing them myself. Bret talks about a tough five months lately getting beat up by tall guys. Shawn responds that he got beat up by nine guys. Anyways, Piper doesn't want the title match to end in some type of fluke. So he sets up a one hour Ironman match. Both Shawn and Bret are cool with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 God, with Vince out of the booth even Lawler has to gush about the reaction Shawn's getting, though he tries to play it off in that Bobby Heenan "make fun of a guy and put him over at the same time" manner. Shawn and Bret play mutual admiration, with the crowd not exactly thrilled with Bret. This is a typical WWF babyface vs. babyface yawner of a segment until Piper comes out and injects some passion and energy into things. I liked Piper shitting on the idea of Shawn showing off his abs as proof of great condition. He doesn't want a DQ or a copout finish or a fluke, so he makes it an Ironman Match.

soup23 Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 I liked this segment overall but the feud was destined to be lackluster with the announced stip and them having to play up this ultimate respect thing. Piper knows how to sell face vs. face as we saw at Mania 8 and he interjects well here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim Posted October 12, 2017 Report Share Posted October 12, 2017 Lawler filling in for Vince's usual gushing over Michaels was hilarious, and he was able to some extent to keep character with it. Watching this segment, this match up doesn't seem that big to me. I can't say I'm looking forward to revisiting the Iron Man match as I go into March.

dawho5 Posted November 14 Report Share Posted November 14 A lot of this was really awkward. But most babyface vs. babyface stuff is without some hint of a turn. The being said, both Shawn and Diesel ahve been acting more than heelish enough to turn despite the fact that the crowd has failed to notice on both counts. So strange.
