Apparently King Booker didn't have a rematch clause in his contract.

Raw was taped as late as (if not later than) 1998. Remember, Tony Schiavone did know that Mick Foley was going to win the WWF Title that night.

I hate the rematch clause. They use it as an excuse to keep the feud going without further developing the storyline. And they've overused it to the point where it's become standard for all feuds over a title. It's just lazy booking.

Does Hogan winning the title back from Taker at Tuesday in Texas, two days after Survivor Series count?

I think that was a Jack Tunney ordered rematch.

I definitely remember hearing references to it in mid-80s WWF, but it's emphasized now more than ever. I don't think you ever have a title change with that "clause" being put into effect. What I wonder is, has anyone ever won back a title using a rematch clause? Most recently in TNA, Kurt Angle did by defeating Sting a week after he lost the title to Sting at Bound For Glory. Can't remember the last time it happened in WWE though. cena beat edge with it at the royal rumble two years back, didn't he?

whgen was this clause first used regularly? cos (at least in the WWE ) it seems a fairly recent thing (though in most cases its used to repeat the same match from one ppv to the next ) its just I coulda see, oh say, Hogan using his clause to face Warrior for the title on a Saturdays Night main event or something after Wrestlemania 6 though if Hart had used a clause on the Raw after the screwjob (but that wouldn't have worked as Raw was still pre recorded then ) could you imagine the atomsphere? also, when DID Raw beome a regular live show? I remember the rematch clause being used for various titles back in the 80's. As far as Hogan not using it on the Warrior, that was done by Jack Tunney. He made an announcement on TV that there would be no rematch between Hogan and Warrior due to the match was just to brutal and taking both men to exhaustion or something to that effect. But it was being used back then.
