when it got down to the last two in the rumble.
jbl said "how long has it been since we have seen hbk vs the undertaker"
and jerry replied " i dont think we have ever seen it" was this a crap joke or an attempt to hype the conflict hoping that we have no memory?
i thought it was a strange thing to say....

More WWE revisionist crap. They always say "This is the first time that _____________" as if that makes it more special.

Cause alongside Tazz, Jerry Lawler is an idiot.
JBL really exposes these clowns for the shills, morons, sucky announcers that they are.

but wouldn't it of been hyped more if they had metioned hell in a cell and the fact that undertaker caused hbk's back injury in the casket match at royal rumble 98?

I think the short answer is that jerry lawler is a poor announcer who forgets anything that doesnt involve the divas thongs.

Truthlly kayfabe way it made sense. The Hell in the Cell and RR 98 part would make Undertaker seems like a heel and that would have confused the non-smarks. Look at it that way.
Edit: JBL is the heel Smark announcer and Lawler is the mark face announcer.

i dont agree if lawler had said "the last time these 2 met at the royal rumble the undertaker nearly ended shawns career what can we expect this time form as these legendary superstars square off again"
it would have hyped the conflict and added a bit of history and added to the what we are seeing is special moment feel

How would it make Taker look like the heel when HBK was the heel in the feud and a complete bastard (on and off screen)? |

I think that this there is a big possibility that he doesn't remember every match that has happened in his stint in the WWE like us dorks.
Think about it, Lawler can't possibly remember the crapload of matches that he calls.
And I'm sure that the writers and the McMahons that are in their headsets can't remember it either.

It was just a spur of the moment thing. He was just trying to hype up the ending to the newer fans who weren't watching 10 years ago and are used to the brand split.

This is a little different than forgetting Doink vs. Bastian Booger from 93 or something like that. This is forgetting 3 PPV main events. One was a MOTYC in one of the greatest gimmick match ideas ever and one of the other almost ended one of the greatest careers in wrestling history...pretty signifigant stuff here. |

The whole time Lawler's saying that, Kane's thinking, "Wait, so I never debuted?"

The whole time Lawler's saying that, Kane's thinking, "Wait, so I never debuted?" Kane then woke up and looked into the mirror....seeing DR ISAAC YANKEM! Kane then woke up screaming. "A dream...a dream." Before looking at a mirror and seeing...FAKE DIESEL! "Son of a!" shouted Kane as he awoke. "I have been in a lot of crap," he commented as he got out of bed and looked into the mirror....seeing CHRISTMAS CREATURE! "Well...time to go to work." said Creature, forgetting about the horrible nightmare of being a burned character that wasn't burned and had raped a dead cheerleader. "I should return the WWF's call today," he thought. |

I'd rather Lawler revise history than do his little 10-year old girl sounding scream. Anyone else bothered by that? Maybe it's just me.
When I read the results of the show, I was surprised Ross wasn't announcing. He's usually pretty good with history.

Think about it, Lawler can't possibly remember the crapload of matches that he calls. Look, either he was told to ignore their previous history, or he did it blatantly for.....I don't know what reason. But to say he forgot? I highly doubt that. |

Think about it, Lawler has probably been around over 80,000 matches in his life and you expect him to remember 'em. Trust me, the impression I get from Lawler is that he could probably ramble off how many times he sold out Memphis with Austin Idol more than he would remember 3 PPV main events from over 10 years ago. Let's face it, Lawler's been calling it in for at least that long now. It's probably pretty safe to say that he remembers the Foley bump a lot more that the 'Taker/HBK HIAC. |
