Al Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 This announcement of Rock/Cena at WM 28 has me thinking. What's the furthest in advance a promotion hyped a match. Not building a feud, but a specific match with a date set in stone. (And no cheating with a gimmick match like the Royal Rumble.)
goodhelmet Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 How long was it before they annoucned HBK vs. Austin at Mania 14? Three months?
Ditch Posted April 6, 2011 Report Posted April 6, 2011 Are we counting "the exact participants", or can it be "the match" as a generality? Because there are instances of retirement matches announced a ways off, for instance Onita saying he'd retire on 5/5/95 if he lost on 5/5/94 to Tenryu, or more recently Dick Togo's June retirement being announced last fall.
