Clunkers of Final Four In Rumbles

Recommended Posts

Guest bob_barron
Also...error with the 1992 Rumble Final Four...

 

Savage technically eliminated himself from the Rumble to beat up Jake the Snake Roberts...yet they let him back in.

 

So if you didn't count him, it would have been either Roddy Piper or Rick Martel (they were eliminated at the same time) in his place.

How is that an error if they let him back in?

Because they changed the rules mid match.

 

Earlier...Bossman accidentally eliminated himself when Flair ducked (without pulling the ropes) a Bossman body splash...and they counted it as an elimination.

 

Yet, when Savage does it, they let him stay in...

Savage jumped over the ropes himself while the ropes propelled Bossman to the outside

i'l try to defend this.

 

Savage did it going after someone already eliminated. (Who can blame him? His storyline was so good, he wanted to make it as awesome as possibly and got a little to carried away. HAd he not been scheduled to be in Final 4, they probably would have counted it.)

 

Bossman did it trying to do an offensive move on a legal wrestler in the ring which would constitute elimination.

1997: Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Diesel 2, Undertaker

 

I thought the final four were Austin, Hart, Taker, and VADER? Wasn't Vader in the final four PPV the next month?

No- The final 4 was Austin, Diesel, Taker (or Vader) and Bret.

 

Austin illegally eliminated Vader, Taker and Bret which is why they were in the final 4 match.

 

Diesel was eliminated by Bret

I remember being pissed back in '97 that The New Diesel got screwed out of his PPV main event.
