Botching it twice though was hilarious, but just try and win it for once yeah? I love how this implies that he only does all these saves for the flex, and not because this IS him being so desperate to stay in the match so he CAN try and win it. Sure, it’s weird that only he gets into those kinds of situations, but still.

I tend to hate a lot of the additional rules of the Rumble in general; 1. You can't eliminate yourself, therefore you can exit the ring as you please. Except sometimes you *can* eliminate yourself. 2. Your feet can't touch the floor. One can, but not both. 3. If you're thrown out of the ring, your feet can touch anywhere besides the floor, including a stack of pancakes on the floor. 4. You can steal someone's spot. 5. You can be eliminated by someone who isn't in the match. well number 2 anyway was because HBK screwed up the original spot IIRC. it was originally one foot touching the floor but when he was trying to skin the cat one of his feet did touch the floor so suddenly it became both feet touching since shawn was supposed to win.

It's a very cool sight athletically, but it also kinda annoys me.
I feel like if you get thrown over the top rope, once your body leaves the ring and you hit something, whether it be the floor, a chair, or the barricade, you're out.
Wasn't there one where he stood on pancakes? That's funny but really silly too.
By their logic, you can say get thrown over and say "hey, I didn't hit the floor. I hit the mats on the floor, I'm still in it."

Yeah, I enjoyed these spots at first, but creatively it's tough to keep stretching the boundaries of what can be done. Both athletically and within suspension of disbelief.
By the time he was tip-toeing on pancakes, it was like, come on, the well is very dry and let's quit while we're ahead.
