You Tube’s infiltration was insufficient… On Wikipedia, professional wrestling addicts are chronicling every controversy, maneuver, match, pay per view, stable, storyline, and wrestler ever realized. Anyone skeptical should observe these search results…
Montreal ScrewjobThe Montreal Screwjob was the
real life double-crossing of defending
WWF Champion Bret Hart by
Vince McMahon, the owner of the
World Wrestling Federation (WWF), during the
main event match of the
professional wrestling pay-per-view event
Survivor Series held on November 9, 1997 at the
Molson Centre in
Montreal,
Quebec,
Canada. A secret change of the match's pre-determined finish (known as a "
shoot screwjob" in
professional wrestling parlance) was devised by McMahon and discussed with Hart's match opponent,
Shawn Michaels. The plan was executed when the match referee,
Earl Hebner, under orders from McMahon, called for the bell to ring and ended the match as Michaels held Hart in the
Sharpshooter submission hold (Hart's signature finishing move), even though Hart had not submitted. Michaels was declared the victor by submission and crowned as the new WWF Champion.
SharpshooterThe Sharpshooter, originally named Sasori-gatame, Scorpion Hold in English
[1], is a
professional wrestling submission hold. The move is also known several other names:
cloverleaf leg-lace
Boston crab,
standing inverted figure four leglock, and, the most commonly-known alternative, Scorpion Deathlock. Despite its original Scorpion Hold name, the move is still commonly known by its
Bret Hart-given nickname Sharpshooter. Despite
Japanese professional wrestler,
Riki Chōshū, being given credit by fans with the creation of the move,
[2] the move is generally associated with
Canadian Bret Hart.
[3]Hell in A CellA Hell in a Cell match is a
match seen in
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) in which the
ring and ringside area is surrounded by a 20-foot-high roofed steel cage (or "cell") structure weighing over 5 tons. This is billed as the "amplified" version of the original, which was 16 feet high and weighed over 2 tons.
Summer SlamThe
main event a
Singles match for the
WWF Championship between
Steve Austin and
The Undertaker. Austin won the match via pinfall after a Stunner to retain the WWF Championship. The main match on the
undercard featured a
ladder match for the
WWF Intercontinental Championship between
Triple H and
The Rock, which Triple H won to win the Intercontinental Championship.
The KliqThe Kliq (sometimes spelled as Clique) was a backstage group in the
World Wrestling Federation (WWF) during the mid-1990s, which some claim held virtually all
booking power and were accused of refusing to be fair to anyone outside of the group. The group was composed of
Shawn Michaels,
Kevin Nash,
Scott Hall,
Sean Waltman, and
Paul Levesque. In 1996, The Kliq broke character at a
house show at
Madison Square Garden in an incident referred to as the "Curtain Call: The MSG Incident", an event which affected the WWF's subsequent storylines and development.
NWO Hostile TakeoverThe match Bischoff promised, a six-man tag known as the "Hostile Takeover Match," served as the main event of
Bash At The Beach the following month. Hall and Nash came to the ring by themselves, leaving speculation open as to who would be their partner.
Gene Okerlund came into the ring immediately following Hall and Nash's entrance and, after discussing the situation with ring announcer
Michael Buffer and referee
Randy Anderson, demanded that The Outsiders tell him where the third man was. Hall and Nash assured Okerlund that their partner was in the building, but they did not need him at the moment. After Okerlund left the ring, The Outsiders finally found out who they would be facing:
Lex Luger,
Sting, and
Randy Savage. As a show of solidarity, all three men came to the ring with painted faces (which Sting had always done but Luger and Savage had never done).
Razor RamonHall signed a contract with the
World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1992 and his character evolved from Scott Hall to that of Razor Ramon, a
Cuban American from
Miami.
[9][20] The Latino-heel persona was modeled after
Tony Montana and Manny Ray (
Al Pacino and
Steven Bauer's characters from the
movie Scarface).
[20] Hall's nickname (The Bad Guy) and catchphrase ("Say hello to The Bad Guy") derive from quotes from the movie; "Say hello to my little friend" and "Say goodnight to the bad guy".
[20] Later in his career, Hall claimed he pitched the idea of a Scarface-like character during a meeting with
Vince McMahon and
Pat Patterson, as a joke.
[9] Hall quoted lines with a Cuban accent and gave ideas for
vignettes (also inspired by the movie) that would involve Hall recreating several scenes, such as Ramon driving around
South Florida in a convertible with a leopard-skin interior.
[9] Although his pitch was taken right from the film, Hall claims McMahon and Patterson were nevertheless floored by the ideas and called Hall a "genius."
[9] Hall later learned that neither McMahon nor Patterson had ever seen or heard of the movie; thus, they believed that Hall was coming up with the ideas right then and there.

As I read, I mused… What if they covered sports?
Kobe Bryant: Spotted! The four time champion and former adulterer browsing necklaces inside Stein Diamonds. “He was asking carat weights and he said he didn’t care about price,” said a witness.
Peyton Manning: Wearing jean shorts, a striped polo, and a Colts hat, the signal caller snacked on Hydrox and lounged on the deck of his condo. “He’s never really liked Oreos,” a source told US.
The next day, after mulling it around a bit, some of us come to the realization that we the fans don't actually have a say in this decision. Nor do we have any way to convince them otherwise. What are we going to do? Boycott Eagles games? Yeah, sure, when Jim Johnson rises from the grave and tells the defense to NOT blitz.
1) Take every single last piece of abuse you get- and don't be surprised if you get barked at by people in dog costumes. You've earned it.
Of course, as I was discussing the acquisition with a bunch of die hard Eagles fans yesterday, not one of them admitted to being shocked at hearing the news. Everyone seems to have seen this coming months ago. As if it were their idea all along, they start planning out the season for our new ex-con. And we all eagerly await the Hawks game later this year.
If only the tag team partners could rejoin these other nineties’ relics…
