Yeah, sorry, the second Hebner would step foot to ref any match in Canada he'd get the YOU SCREWED BRET chants, period, especially for an indy/TNA show.

They've been conditioned to do that. Plus, it makes them feel part of something. It's not because it legitimately bothers them.

Talk about unnecessary additions.

but don't you see, this could be the perfect opportunity for...a reverse screwjob. Christian locks Angle in the sharpshooter but Hebner calls for the bell, saying Cage was the one to give up.

Is it me or does TNA like to play the past no matter if said past was not made by them?

Didn't Russo do the Montreal ending in WCW like 5 or 6 times or something?

Not only did Russo do it, but he also had Bret himself involved in it

Ugh, I'm having Starrcade '99 flashbacks...

*vomits*

*blacks out*

[Loki]

I'm sure Bret Hard called TNA and asked them to reenact the Screwjob, so he can rant about it even more...

Seriously though, ENOUGH ALREADY with the Screwjob! I just wish it could go away and stay away for good. Stop booking Montreal-like finishes, involving Hebner, bringing it up in angles featuring HBK or Vince.

Funny how TNA: We Are Wrestling are leeching off the most controversial event of the "rival" company...

[krzykraka]

TNA cant even have a house show match without some screwy/unecessary addition!

Didn't they already do this bullsh*t with the "Orlando screwjob"?

yes they did. however, it will never be as over as the legendary "Fayetteville Screwjob" (go ahead, ask me what it is)

Didn't they already have some kind of Canadian screwjob with Jarrett Mysteriously winning the title thanks to AMW right before the debut of TNA on Spike?

yes, they did that too. AMW came in, attacked Raven, and once again we have Jeff Jarrett as the NWA Champion. then later, when Hebner was in TNA, we had the King of the Mountain match were (if i recall right) he shoved Sting of the ladder, costing him the match, allowing Jarret to climb up and once again become the new NWA Champion.

just for fun, go to Wikipedia, look up the NWA World Championship, scroll down to where TNA had control of it and just see the vast number of holders they had

You do realize you're saying absolutely no wrestling fan in the whole of Canada has the free will to not chant "You screwed Bret"

...I hope you realize that's just talking down to people.

Sadly, I acutally wasted about 12 hours once and calculated various "world champions" for TNA, WCW, and WWF/E. It's Jarrett at over 1,000 days (second only to Hogan in WCW for total days as champ in the last 17 years), then (at the time) Christian with 215. I'm sure Angle has leapfrogged in to second by now, but damn.

Far as this match goes, it's a f***ing screwjob no matter what they do, thanks to their booking. If Hebner screws Angle, it's a schmazz finish, if he "does the unexpected" and screws Christian, it's STILL a schmazz finish. Hell, if he calls it clean, it's still a swerve, because who the hell thinks "TNA" and "clean finishes" in the same sentence anymore?

Why did you waste your time doing that?

I was bored and this was like six months ago. Sadly, I wound up defending Trips as not being as big of a belt hog (880 days in ten years, compared to Hogan and Jarret's 1,000 days in only five years.
