BoD goodness
By Scott Keith on August 11, 2013
Scott, working a 16 hour ER shift and have so far gotten punched in the stomach by a girl on bath salts (cheap street methamphetamines) and had to examine a person who just shot themselves, ah the joys of being an ER doc. Mentally checked out so decided to hang with my buddy, the BoD.
Just read the recent post about a Cena heel turn and it got me thinking about major wrestling events, if smart fans saw them coming, and what was leaked prior to the event. Could you give some info on what the smarts were saying before the following events…
– Stone Colds WM X-7 turn
– Hogans WM 9 return
– Vince as higher power
– UT beating HBK into retirement
– Waltman returning to join DX
– Rocks Survivor Series 98 turn
– Rocks WM 27 return
Hang on, the bath salts story sounds way more interesting than this crap. I'm hardly ever punched by meth addicts at work.
Anyway, on with the list:
– Austin's turn was pretty well known from Royal Rumble 2001, and as longtime readers can tell you, I was openly predicting it at the time.
– Hogan's return: Wasn't quite online at that time so I couldn't say.
– Everyone knew Vince was going to be the Higher Power, but we just didn't want to admit it.
– HBK's retirement was pretty much known months in advance. Not a secret at all.
– X-Pac's return was a HUGE shock, although it was known that he had been fired from WCW, but people assumed that the previous split was so acrimonious that it was unlikely Vince would work with him again. Guess we were wrong.
– Everyone knew it was going to happen. Rock never had a real babyface turn in the first place, so it was just a matter of time.
– Wasn't watching the product at the time of Rock's return.
