To be fair, the botch was kind of Garner's fault to begin with. He said himself that he thought it was an underhook suplex. I think his punishment was just being demoted from upper carder to facing jobbers. It was pretty big at the time. This was when it was widely believed by everybody that wrestling was 100% real. When footage of Diesel and The Game, two heels, hugging Razor and Shawn, two faces, leaked, it was huge. Nash and Hall left for WCW and Shawn was WWF Champion at the time. They couldn't punish either of them. "Widely believed by everybody that wrestling was 100% real"? When did it happen, 1956? Hey. Bastion Booger, Max Moon, Doink, The Goon, TL Hopper, and Dumpster Drose were incredibly convincing. They're still real to me, dammit!

Clash of Champions XXX. Hogan/Savage vs Sullivan/Butcher. They had Hogan knocked out via sleeper and Macho Man dropped his top rope elbow drop on him and that instantly revived him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuqacRuUIdII always looked at that as a very genre savvy Macho Man than Hogan no-selling.

It is more of an anti-sell than anything, isn't it? Macho is lucky it worked out. He would have been in trouble had Hogan sat up and pointed at him, "You!"

Seriously. It's Savage, he would know how Hogan reacts more than anyone.
