Carnival Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 What are some of those times when you thought for sure the promotion was going in one direction - a direction you didn't want to see them go - and, miraculously, they made you proud by going the other way? For example, I remember watching the instantaneous rise of The Patriot in 1997, and I was so sure that they were going to let him win the belt at the Ground Zero PPV. I marked out hard when Bret beat him (of course not knowing what was coming around the bend). Had a similar experience with Luger/Flair in Feb '90, although I was a much bigger Luger fan than I was a Patriot fan. Anyway, got anything like that?
Mad Dog Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 I thought for sure Chyna was doing to win the King of the Ring in 1999/2000. Likewise, I was sure HHH was going to beat Undertaker at X-7.
Laz Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 Rumble '14 to WM30 is the obvious one. I also lost my shit when Punk beat Cena at MitB '11.
PeteF3 Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 This is strictly in hindsight, but Baba deciding to pull the trigger and give Misawa the win over Jumbo in 1990.
Mad Dog Posted September 5, 2015 Report Posted September 5, 2015 I also thought New Japan would find a way to not put the IWGP Title on Tanahashi in 2006.
