Wrestling's great exaggerations

Recommended Posts

"Oh dude ... I've had such a career, I don't know what my best moment would be. But if I had to pick one, little man, I'd probaby go with WrestleMania III. Picture this, brother ... me slamming the 800lb Andre the Giant in the center of the ring with 100,000 fans looking on at the Pontiac Silverdome. Sends a chill down my spine to this day, little dude."

 

Anything Triple H says about himself. The man loves giving himself a metaphorical blow job every Monday night.

I'm sorry.

 

That reminds me of the REAL greatest exaggeration of all.

 

Actually it's just a big lie:

 

Hogan saying on Confidential that he drew 200,000 people to a show in North Korea.

 

A: The show did draw 200,000 people, over 2 days.

 

B: Hogan wasn't on the card. He turned it down because he didn't want to go all the way over there to job to Inoki. Flair did it instead.

LOL I never knew Hogan was supposed to be involved.

 

"Well, here's the thing little dude. All those people that paid for their tickets thought I was going to be there. There was a near riot when Ric Flair showed up, brother! They were standing in line to get their refunds, man."

Just about everything about the Elimination Chamber was exaggerated, the bulletproof glass, it's height, the many miles of chain and however many tons of steel they said it was.

Does the Foley example on page 58 of Have a Nice Day count?

 

 

After Foley climbes to the top of the Zucker House about to jump off

 

*"Look at Foley, he must be fifty, sixty, seventy feet in the air," Liz dramatically stated, in what had to be one of the greatest exaggerations in sports-entertainment history*

Especially since you could actually see the basketball hoops just below Mick, who was on top of the garage.

Actually, those shows drew 320,000 over two nights.

 

As for lies, WM 3 drawing 90,000 is a big one, and IIRC, in his book, Hogan said he drew 200,000 in Budokan Hall. Which would have been quite a feat, seeing as it's capacity is 16,500.

How about Kane's super powers? "He just set that man on fire!"

Why didn't he just set his opponent on fire anytime he was in a world title match?

You missed the best part of Hogan's re-telling of the Andre story...

 

"Then I slammed the 900-pound Andre the Giant over my head and to the mat..."

 

I'm sure I've heard him say that at least once.

That isn't what I'm thinking of, but that would count for what I said also. Care to guess again as to what I meant?

Indeed.

 

How about "Sid's Streak", even though it was just an angle?

That was awful.

 

I mean he did a run in durring a Mikey Whipwreck/Chase Tatum match and got two 3 count falls...it was such a poorly booked angle.

 

The cool way to do it would have been for him to do like 10 man gauntlet matches and just go through all 10 guys in under a minute each.

If Shamrock is the World's Most Dangerous man then what is The Rock? I don't think Shamrock ever beat him......

I always hate it when an announcer says "I haven't seen (insert name here) all day, what is he doing here?"

 

Now, I can get the "I haven't seen.." part, but its the "..what is he doing here?" part that gets me.

Add to that the wrestlers entrance music just so happens to come on when said wrestler comes out.

I have a tape of an older RAW where JR says Test is 6-foot-10. And no one can decide how big Albert is; first he's 300 then he's 350. That's a big difference. Same with Rikishi and Mark Henry's weights.

 

I think anything Ultimate Warrior has said since 1990 has been a gross exaggeration.

 

Kurt Angle won a gold medal WITH A BROKEN NECK.

 

Anytime they say Jeff Hardy is extreme, when he's been stale for two years now.

Shamrock beat the Rock plenty of times ... they were just reversed aside from KOTR 98.

 

Good pick for Warrior. I recently downloaded a promo he cut on Hercules in the spring of 88.

 

"NOTHING HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED BETWEEN YOU AND I, HERCULES ... WE BOTH KNOW THAT ... BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH ... BIG WORDS ... I DROPPED MAJOR ACID 5 MINUTES AGO ... I AM THE WALRUS, COO COO CACHOO ... GRRRRRRRRRRR!"

 

...Incoherent much?

 

I believe there was a running claim about 6-7 years ago that Bret Hart had never lost a steel cage match. Then, of course, he loses one to Sid on Raw.

 

I loved how everytime Perfect hit the Perfect Plex, the announcers would blow their load about how no one has ever kicked out of it. By the time Bret did it at Summer Slam 91, Hogan, Warrior, and Piper had done the same on TV.

Not really an exageration here... but when cole called a steel cage "A maze of steel!" a few months ago (think it was summer 2002) I nearly pissed my pants laughing. A cage? A maze? You mean that cube with one exit and no roof? *shakes head*
