Early Raw Preview

That was stupid. Are they back to pretending that Foley has never won at Wrestlemania?

 

Edge, was smart enough to point out that "DQ's and Reversed decisions, don't count".

 

Other then that, Foley doesn't have a great Mania past. He hasn't gotten a straight pin-fall/submission victory. (Although, He might have gotten the pin-fall on TBS at 2000)

Regardless, there is nothing right about this angle. Foley has in fact won at Mania, and I think he did pin the Big Show. The concept that "You've never won...well, you have, but those wins dont count" is a ridiculous angle. I think Edge fucked up the original line and for some God foraken reason they're running with it.

 

"The most anticipated main event in Mania history"

 

In some ways, I guess it is.

 

It started with a "Sorry, I kinda but not really costed you the title although your girlfriend is more to blame for that if anything" cause...then it was

 

"I'm was a better transitional champion then you" cause...that shifted into "Well, I am unbeaten in WM matches involving Ladder matches and a meaningless "home" victory...you just so happened to main event a WM but you haven't pinned anyone, so I'm still better then you!"

 

How hard is it to go "I hate you and want to kick your ass because I'm pissed I am not the champion anymore" "Well, I hate your attitude and I want one more last Mania match and beating your ass will be worth it".

Hogan and Gagne in the same building...

Michaels and Hart (maybe) in the same building...

 

I'm slightly surprised by Gagne's induction but I'm guessing it's cross-promotion with the AWA dvd and the AWA home-base of Chicago.

I love that they're calling this the most anticipated ever. It may be, but in all the wrong ways.

 

10 bucks says they're using Unlimited to try and get Cena over.

Minor nitpicking: Wasn't Larry Zybysko actually the last AWA World Heavyweight Champion? Lawler was champion in 1987 (or 88) and the AWA closed in 1990.

They don't want you to remember the "Studio" days of AWA.

Odd choice to honor Gagne.

 

Speaking of which...

 

"While working for the American Wrestling Association in the 1980s, Zbyszko began dating Kathy Gagne, the daughter of Verne Gagne, the owner of the AWA. They kept their relationship secret for half a year before encountering Gagne's son Greg at a Moody Blues concert. Verne Gagne initially resented Zbyszko, but accepted him after Kathy became pregnant. Zbyszko and Kathy were married in 1988 in Las Vegas, Nevada. They have two sons together, in addition to Zbyszko's two sons from a previous marriage."

 

(wikipedia)

 

Hm...sounds oddly familiar.
