Guest Redhawk Report post Posted February 12, 2003 At WWE's Rock Bottom PPV in 1998, Michael Cole claimed the tombstone used in Steve Austin and Undertaker's match weighed like 500 pounds. He might have even said 5,000 but I'm not exactly sure. What are some other big-time exaggerations you've heard? 1) The steel steps weigh 300 pounds 2) Undertaker is 7 feet tall. 3) Rikishi weighs 400 pounds. 4) 18-minute matches become "30-minute wars." Most recent example being Triple H vs. Steiner at Royal Rumble. 5) The bullet proof glass in the Elimination Chamber. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted February 12, 2003 Roddy Piper's book is filled to the brink with 'em. "Foley jumped off of a 30-foot cage onto the concrete, and got right back up!" 1. HIAC was only a legitimate 16 feet. 2. It took Foley about 10 minutes to get back up, and he was already out of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 12, 2003 The weight of the tombstone, to me, is legitimately the funniest thing in the history of wrestling. I can't help laughing hysterically no matter how many times I hear about it. I'm laughing right now just from reading the topic description. Cole also claiming the ring steps were 200 pounds, that's classic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted February 12, 2003 When Shane fell off the Summerslam rigging, they were like, "He must be 50, 60, 70 feet in the air!" For one, that's probably exagerated, I'm not really sure how high it actually was. But there's a huge difference between 50 feet and 70 feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 12, 2003 "I've never seen someone manhandle Austin/Angle/Rock/Taker/HHH like this before" pretty much any time they get their ass kicked.

Sorry, I meant 1999, Austin vs Rocky I...rest of the card sucked ass Although I hated 2000...nothing but tag matches, 6 man tag matches, 3 ways, and 4 ways...no one on one matches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Nevermortal Report post Posted February 12, 2003 HBK: When I threw my partner through the glass 15 years ago... I cringed when I heard that exaggeration. That would mean he Jannetty'd....umm...uh Marty Jannetty in 1987! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think the Rockers were in the WWF at the time and if they were, it was the infancy of the tandem. And 2000 was a good Wrestlemania, but no real 1v1 matches of note....99 was a wretched card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted February 12, 2003 I didn't like 2000 Mania. Jericho/Benoit/Angle was Ok...but they've all done far better in other matches with each other since then. The tag title ladder match was fun to watch, other than that...I didn't like that Mania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted February 12, 2003 When announcers claim that someone has been thrown off the 15-foot ramp at the enterance. 15 feet? I guess the EMT's checking on the wrestler are 14 feet each.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted February 12, 2003 They've got nothing on Schiavone's " This is the greatest night in the history of our sport!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I always preferred when he said, "Fans! This is the greatest main event in the history of our sport!" It was especially funny during the Goldberg era when they had main events like Goldberg squashing Jerry Flynn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheSoleSurvivor Report post Posted February 12, 2003 Any time JR calls the Dudley Boys "one of the greatest tag teams in the history of our sport".
