Comments: Heenan on commentary is trying to find out what is happening with
Mr. Perfect. Have Vince McMahon calls a move Reverse Piledriver [he is wrong; I
knew he was wrong, but after some research; the move is called an Inverted
Atomic drop, I mean before this we had the Atomic drop, I mean McMahon didn't call
it by its name, but with being reasonable just maybe he didn't want to confuse
the viewers, I know I could be completely wrong about this and talking
absolutely garbage, it is one of those rare occasions where I am trying to be
nice towards this man. One is from the front Inverted and the other is from the
back Atomic, but he's still got it wrong anyway;] but other than this they did
very much deserved the marking on commentary.
Now in a wrestling sense if you have
been round wrestling long enough you would know three things about The Ultimate
Warrior 1. His high octane all-round packaging. 2. His promos are
the worst of the best as in; you had no idea what he was talking about, but you
could understand his enthusiasm. 3. He was notoriously known for being a stiff
worker [wrestling terminology; meaning a performer that is too physical or hard
on the person they are working with in a match; which has a high risk of
damaging their working partner.] Which on closer inspection on one hand I don't
know if it is Savage selling [selling meaning ; to make the effects of the
match looke real] or The Ultimate Warrior is being way too stiff, I mean when
you have Heman saying "He hit that corner" [as Warrior Irish whips
Savage into this corner.]
Momentarily later this one I would put
on Savage [this is speculation mixed in with opinion he has taken a lot from
Warrior here so it is possible Savage could do with just a moment to clear his
head] as Savage grabs the front of Warrior's trunks the first time it doesn't exactly
go according to plan so they quickly try it again with better success.
Warrior seems to forget the script as
he looks to be going up on the top turnbuckle, but doesn't get that far as he
steps back into the ring to attempt to perform his running big splash, but in
the interest of fairness and balance; he could be trying to keep in kayfabe
[wrestling terminology again; meaning a character or feud or injury anything to
do with the theatrical side of wrestling.] Warrior performs a lift up choke on
Savage, but on throwing him down Savage catches his head on the bottom
turnbuckle in the corner [in the same corner where Savage pulled him into
earlier with the trunks thing, Where from earlier Warrior had a safer landing
out of the two.] Heenan makes references to this on commentary followed Mr
McMahon as well. We get a great camera short of things from Savage's
perspective at this moment in time [which based on this prospective, it helps
that this part of the ring at some point gently shakes to indicate something
just hit it.] But on top of that this is one of those occasions where Savage
had to hit it based on where he is now situated.
Savage performs this Piledriver [it is
a delayed version; wrestling terminology delayed means holding imposition]
which it does look a little bit suspect I know Warrior has long hair, but one
of the camera people get a excellent side on shot of this move and I have to
say warrior's head is possibly a little bit too low [there is one very
important rule about moves of this nature legs before heads and never and I
repeat never the other way around, because the legs should take most of the
impact and protect the head as much as possible.] This is speculation again
mixed in with convenient; the person directing the camera shots went from this
camera shot to another camera shot where you couldn't see the potential
oncoming Warrior being dropped on more of his head then what he should be; as
we went from this to rough a face on camera short which Savage's near leg
blocks our vision, but as I said earlier it is a delayed version you can pretty
much speculate that must have been a little bit of a tough landing.
This entire pay-per-view narrative of
which corner is Mr. Perfect going to be in tonight was answered here with
another option of Plan B. with "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.
Basic Result: The Ultimate Warrior picks up the W.
Briefly things to know:
* King Bobby "The Brain"
Heenan & Vince McMahon: there is aftermath
* "Mean" Gene Okerlund:
interviews "The Nature Boy" Rick Flair & Mr. Perfect in a
nutshell what just happened and as I have already referenced another option of
Plan B.
