Rants

the finish to the Rock/HHH Iron Man

By Scott Keith on 1 October 2013

Hi there,
So as we all know, HHH won the match (and the belt) six falls to five.  But here’s the thing: HHH shouldn’t have won the title, because the deciding fall was a *DQ.*  Because as Gorilla would always remind us “titles in the World Wrestling Federation can only change hands on a pinfall or submission.”  And yet, I don’t think I’ve ever since this mentioned in any recap.  I can’t be the only one who’s thought this, can I?

That particular bugaboo was overturned for 2/3 falls matches with the Brainbusters tag title win.  Plus iron man matches have always been “most falls in x time” regardless of how the fall is won.  So sorry, but nitpick DENIED.
