This is watch party worthy imo


you could tell immediately something wasn't right as soon as earl called for that bell.

Doesn't seem like we've been picking that night apart for 20 years tho

After listening to The Lapsed Fan break it all down,its crazy to know that its been about a year and a half in the Making(Lost Smile,The Fight in CT,Both being out due to injury,PPV Changes,etc.)yeah they had their matches prior to WM12 but this was the Big Explosion waiting to happen
Edit:I also think Bret was Jealous of Shawn getting that Big Push and was probably happy when he saw the Numbers during Shawns Reign and couldn't wait to take his Thunder away when he got back

"It will go down in history as the single most famous finish of a pro wrestling match in the modern era. Twenty or 30 years from now this story, more than any famous wrestler jumping promotions, more than any prominent death, and more than any record setting house, will be remembered vividly by all who watched it live, and remembered as legendary from all who hear about it later. Through the magic of videotape, the last minute of this match will live forever, and be replayed literally millions of times by tens of thousands of people all looking for the most minute pieces of detail to this strange puzzle." - Meltzer on the Screwjob in 1997.

The worst thing is that it was their best match ever until the sharpshooter

Still believe to this day that it's a work. Too many "perfect moments" and things just falling perfectly for it to happen.

Also I just watched this show again a couple days ago and gotdamn it was trash outside of the Screwjob and it's match but a watch party would be great just for the fukkery

I agree. For two five star wrestlers, they, for some reason, never put on any matches together that made me go . I'm in the minority on this, but I've always thought that their Iron Man match at Mania was overrated.
