Questions

By Scott Keith on 1 December 2017



Hi Scott,

Couple of questions for your consideration:

1 – In both of the ppv matches they had, cult favourite Stone Cold Steve Austin never beat Bret Hart. Both matches are seen as being excellent matches by many people and the “double turn” at wrestlemania 13 did wonders for stone cold, what was the online reaction like at the time? There’s a lot of overreaction to results (people declaring careers over or buried due to one loss) do you think people are willing to turn a blind eye if the match is great? A more recent example maybe would be Bray vs Bryan at the 2014 rumble, Bryan lost.

2 – the cruiserweight tag titles during the end of wcw were pretty great, should wwe bring these back the freshen things up/make some more dynamic matches?

Thanks!

​God, no more titles. The Cruiserweight title is a black hole as it is, we do not need any more meaningless ones.
And people were fine with the Austin loss at the time because everyone could sense that it was leading to something bigger for him, and as noted it was a fantastic match anyway. I don't recall a lot of people claiming that Bret was burying him or anything.​
