      I don't think Mcmahon planned it. Russo supposedly went behind Mcmahon's back and only told him he was leaving on the phone, not in person. At the same time, if Mcmahon really wanted he could have offered Russo more money to stay. Instead he let him leave knowing that without a filter Russo's creative would be very bad.

    To counter Andrew's point about Foley going through the cell. It's already known that he got concussed on the first fall from the side so him looking at the roof is a) reassuring himself that the cage will sink as intended or b) he just glanced for the roof not knowing what was to coming trusting Taker for the following spot

    I agree completely with you guys on Shawn Michaels injury. I don’t think it was as bad as they claim but I think the reason he stayed out so long was bc of his personal issues. I mean they kept him on tv regularly up until about early 2000. Don’t forget he was “commissioner” before mick foley was in the attitude era. It makes complete sense to me that they did that thinking he’d come back to wrestle and then finally sent him home once again when it became clear he was still up to his old tricks only to bring him back in 2002 when he finally sobered up

    My personal take on Brock beating the streak is that Vince wanted Roman to be the one who ended it, but was talked into letting Brock do it first purely so that Roman could beat Taker and not get backlash from the fans for doing so. I know he did once he beat Taker, but if he had of ended the streak then the fans would never have forgiven him. The fans already had a love hate relationship with Brock at that point so was safer to let him take that heat

      Every time someone talks about it they say “oh well it wasn’t planned that he went through” but they also talk about how they “saw the zip ties holding the top of the cage together popping off”. If the spot wasn’t planned, why would the roof be held on by zip ties instead of actually being part of the cage? And why would the undertaker choke slam him on top of a roof that is held together only by zip ties? And why didn’t mick get all the way up for the choke slam? The *only* explanation is that the spot *was* planned.

    Vincent McMahon certainly fired some wrestlers intentionally to overpack and create tensions in AEW... it was something people talked about at the times of firing-hiring rounds and seems like something he could actually do, like a long term psycho game. And as an afterthought: maybe that is just happening, too much "indie-talent" let go from WWE created some of the problems AEW has right now inside the roster... Vincent knew that overeager Tony could not be able to resist the urge to hire almost all of the. And there were true egos among... True talent too ofcourse.

    1. My Conspiracy Theory is that Undertaker's Streak was killed because of Daniel Bryan. Everyone and their mother knows Vince HATES when he doesn't get his way (Jesse Ventura's Union Plans, Lawsuits over Royalties, Jeff Jarrett getting blacklisted for requesting the money he was owed before facing Chyna, being forced to sell off his time slot on TBS to Jim Crockett Jr. The list goes on here honestly) and is a vindictive ass about it in retaliation (see all of the Organic Over Talents throughout the 2010s...). With the fans hijacking shows left, right, and center with unsolicited cheers for DB, his hand was forced into changing his Main Event Mania 30 Match. Who does he take it out on that he has to do so? Those very same fans. Changed the plan of Taker vs Lesnar one hour or so before start time even though both Taker & Brock said it was the wrong call, but agreed to do business if that's what Vince wanted. So in exchange for DB getting the push the fans wanted, he took something arguably worth far more from them as a Fuck You, That's Why. With Hindsight being what it is, was that 60ish day World Title Reign really worth 23 years (21 matches, missed 10 & 16) of legendary character buildup? Nope. Not worth it at all, but it was to Vince despite the unwaivering loyalty Undertaker had shown, especially at the height of the Monday Night War.
    2. As for KOTR 1998, I had heard that the spot in place was for Undertaker to Chokeslam Mick onto the roof. But they realized incredibly early with the Zip Ties pinging off all over the place, and even falling through a corner at one point, that there was a good chance it goes bad, though I suspect neither knew exactly how bad the now obvious accident was going to go. Mick even said it's a good thing he messed up taking the slam as taking a Chokeslam the normal way would've killed him on landing, at the very unlikely least paralyzing him otherwise.

    one of my fave wrestling conspiracy theories is that the reason brock lesnar held the universal title for so long without defending it was to overshadow cm punk's reign as wwe champion, as he was one of the longest reigning champs of the modern era until bork won the universal championship. one of my conspiracy theories is the reason that raquel rodriguez and aaliyah won the womens tag titles was because of the fact originally stark & lyons (and later toxic attraction) were supposed to win them, defend them on nxt, then lose to dmg cntrl at some point in the future. due to both parties having issues (stark & lyons with visa and covid vax stuff and toxic attraction being victims of the injury bug), they instead put in transitional champions, specifically knowing they wanted to push rodriguez at some point.

    Shawn did make a return to the ring in 2000, wrestling against Venom in a street fight at his training academy. I believe he took a few bumps, so it may have been a mix of rehabbing, staying out of the way of the surging talents, plus him eventually getting clean.

Mick Foley has confirmed this in his stand up show and in other interviews so yes he would’ve been looking for a particular part of the cell’s ceiling to do the bit where Undertaker choke slams him so it slightly gives way and then I believe he either slams him again breaking more of the cell before Undertaker hits Mankind as he’s holding on to the edge of the cell’s ceiling making Mankind let go so he falls feet first into the ring

VKM refusing to pay Russo what he thought he was worth and thus driving him into the waiting arms of WCW is definitely something I could VKM doing, and it seems especially apparent that if was really all that useful to the Fed that VKM would have moved mountains to keep Russo happy and onboard - this was the Attitude Era and the lifeblood of the company still seemed to be near to the surface waiting to be spilled.

No, if Vince did send Russo to WCW it would have been with Russo's full knowledge and that just isn't the case.

    To counter the theory about Bryan not being cleared to wrestle because it would take the shine off Roman Reigns, they were *plenty* of events occurring at that time that were taking attention away from Reigns: AJ Styles finally coming to WWE, the Hardy Boyz + Kurt Angle returning, Jinder Mahal becoming champion (I just said attention, I didn’t say it had to be ‘good’ attention), etc. The only issue here is that WWE doctors’ standards would have been higher than any other professional’s standards because, as an entity that would be directly profiting off him being cleared, the WWE would have been in much deeper shit than some random doctor if it turned out Bryan actually wasn’t okay to wrestle.

    The Shawn one is 100% true; not even a conspiracy. He was originally set to work with Triple H at X-7, but it got nixed after he repeatedly showed up "in no condition to work". H & Shawn had a complete falling out over this after Shawn found out that Hunter dobbed him in - he talks about this in his book.
    This whole debacle left Triple H without a Wrestlemania opponent, which is why his program with Undertaker was rushed.
    Physically, Shawn was probably fit to return as early some time in 1999 and god knows they desperately wanted him to work a program with The Rock, which they teased several times between 98-2000
    Shawn also worked a match in his own TWA promotion in 2000, which you can find on UA-cam.

He choose his favourite place in the house for his suicide.

      Edit: He was a broken mess, both mentally due to Eddie and physically due to his rough style and steroid abuse. All of that is a perfect storm for a premeditated double-murder-suicide.

    The HBK injury conspiracy is only true by mistake. Everyone at the time, Shawn included, thought his career was over. He came back after Hall and Nash returned to the WWE to sort of relive the glory days of the Kliq (in the form of the WWE’s version of the nWo) but his role was strictly non-physical.
    Over time the wrestling bug bit him. He felt like he had one last show stopping performance left in him. He didn’t think he could go at his old level though, so it wouldn’t be a wrestling match. It was a street fight. He also only trusted 1 person to beat the absolute tar out of him and also protect his back at the same time. HHH.
    It was supposed to be his one last moment in the spotlight. He didn’t even have ring gear. He didn’t want to pay for anything new for just 1 match. It’s why the match ended the way it did, too. HHH put his best friend over, giving him one last moment of glory. Then he beat the hell out of him with a sledgehammer. Story over, HBK is dead, Shawn goes back into retirement.
    Except he felt perfectly normal after the match. He wasn’t in pain or broken down, and he could still go at a phenomenal level. It’s why his story after this match seemed a little scattered and slapped together, it was. He wasn’t supposed to stick around or get back into the ring.

Demolition got to be the longest tag team champions because they were getting wrongway face pops while the Powers were turning out to be one dimensional meatheads so rather than have a new set of babyface champions, the existing heel champions were turned face and allowed to keep the belts and have two title reigns welded into one. Curt Hennig was meant to be an interim champion who would lose his belt and hair to Brutus Beefcake, the man who beat him at WM6 only to get screwed in the IC title tournament. But then Brutus got injured and replacement face champion Kerry turned out to be a druggy dud while Bret was stuck in a tag title reign, so Mr Perfect was allowed to regain and then kept the belt medium term (and kept those long goldilocks until his death.)
