From reading Scott keith's rant about the Shawn Michaels vs Mankind match it seems as though the result was changed from Mankind winning to a dq win for Shawn.I've always wondered how they would have made Shawn lose while keeping him strong.I watched the match and noticed that Vader never actually hits Michaels, Here's the finish i think they had planned bearing in mind that Vince only changed the finish about a minute before the end of the match:
Shawn hits the SCM on Mankind
Vader runs in causing Shawn to stop the count
Shawn gets rid of Vader and Sid runs out
Sid and Vader start fighting Outside and Officials try and stop it
Earl Hebner is watching the officials trying to stop the fight
Paul Bearer Hits Shawn with the urn
Mankind uses the Mandible Claw on Michaels and the Ref stops the match
Undertaker then pops out of the Casket when HBK is being placed in it
So all they did different was getting the Timekeeper to ring the bell a minute early.
Do you guys have any opinions on what the finish was?
