I have a mission for you lovely people of the Wrestling Forum

[mitchables]

Alright kids, here's the deal. I used to watch wrestling all the time, but then I didn't have access to cable anymore, so I kinda was forcibly stopped from watching it. Well, that, and at the time, wrestling was crappy.

Anywho, I have a challenge for the collective body of the Wrestling Forum. I haven't seen anything WWE in literally about 3 years or so. To put it accurately, the last RAW I saw was the one where Bischoff had that Wheel of Fortune-esque thing going on. Remember it? They acted like a Buried Alive match was actually a viable scenario.

Now, here's my challenge: I want you guys to fill me in on every major or noteworthy event that has occurred in the WWE since that RAW. I think I am getting cable again and I want be brought up to speed. Right now. :mad:

[Anybody Thrilla]

There is a wrestler who is mentally handicapped.

Lita had a miscarriage.

Bradshaw had a record setting WWE title reign.

Divas ate pie with their asses.

[Corkscrewed]

A terrorist came to SD and left. :shifty:

Oh, and HHH actually put Batista over 100%. And he hasn't been on TV for weeks.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Viscera is no longer a menacing freak show. He is now known as "The World's Largest Love Machine". I wish I were lying about this, but I am not.

Well, I can see I've missed out on a second Golden Age here. :|

[Anybody Thrilla]

Actually, save the ass pie, those were all fairly entertaining.

[mitchables]

Viscera is no longer a menacing freak show. He is now known as "The World's Largest Love Machine". I wish I were lying about this, but I am not.

So they fired Mark Henry, rehired Viscera as the new Mark Henry, and gave him his 1999 gimmick? :$

[Anybody Thrilla]

Something like that. But Viscera was going around with Lillian Garcia, as opposed to Mae Young.

[mitchables]

Actually, save the ass pie, those were all fairly entertaining.

I never even saw the transition from Bradshaw, one-half of the least-active tag teams ever, being carried through promos by Faarooq's sensational reading of his "Damn!" line :love: to hickboy JBL. :$

[Anybody Thrilla]

And when Viscera went on a date with Trish Stratus, it was one of the funniest things in the past ten years.

[mitchables]

Something like that. But Viscera was going around with Lillian Garcia, as opposed to Mae Young.

So Lillian is no longer the ring announcer? She's arm candy? Scantily clad, large-jawed arm candy? Crazy.

What did Viscera do to get this cushy angle?

[Marcyo]

Triple H captured the world title quite a few times (10 so far). Here's the main title History for Raw since 2002:

Bischoff awards Triple H the World Heavyweight title.

HBK def. HHH for the title at Survivor Series 2002.

HHH def. HBK for the title at Armageddon 2002.

Goldberg def. HHH for the title at Unforgiven 2003.

HHH def. Goldberg for the title at Armageddon 2003, in a triple threat match that also included Kane.

Chris Benoit def. HHH for the title at Wrestlemania 20 in a match that also included HBK.

Randy Orton def. Chris Benoit for the title at SummerSlam 2004.

A month later, HHH def. Orton for said title.

The title is vacated a few months later due to a 'controversy' angle.

At New Year's Revolution 2005, HHH wins the title in the elimination chamber.

At Wrestlemania 21, Batista def. Triple H for the title.

Batista is drafted to SD with the title, while John Cena comes to Raw with the WWE title.

John Cena is scheduled in a match vs Jericho at SummerSlam 2005.

Many HHH in there, he's basically buried everyone except 'tista.

No Mabel dumped her for the Godfather ho's. She is still a ring annoucner

[mitchables]

And when Viscera went on a date with Trish Stratus, it was one of the funniest things in the past ten years.

"Mick Foley, Sycophant to Vince McMahon; Hirer of Yurple" funny, or "Mae Young, Mother of Hand" funny?

[Anybody Thrilla]

Well, Lillian's still an announcer. Big Vis just kinda stalked her, wooed her with his charms, and she proposed to him. Before he could respond, however, The Godfather and the Ho Train came out (not making this up either) and convinced him that he shouldn't stick to one girl when he could have MANY girls.

It all started when Trish was being tortured by Kane because of what she had done to Lita. Trish needed some protection and somebody to take Kane out. She found Viscera. It was decided that if Viscera could take Kane out, Trish would boink him. Viscera failed and Trish went on a rant about how ridiculous it was for Vis to think that she'd ever sleep with his grotesque ass, so he gave her a big splash and became a face. Now, he has an insatiable appetite for looooove, and no ladies are safe from his charms.

Only in the WWE can a borderline rapist be a face.

Just... wow.

The Godfather still works there? :|

[Anybody Thrilla]

Nope. He appeared that one time, and hasn't been on TV since.

[mitchables]

K. And what about the old hands? Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker, etc.?

Does The Rock even wrestle anymore?

[Marcyo]

The Rock's gone to Hollywood. Isn't with WWE anymore, from what I heard.

Undertaker is still a major player, he won a #1 contender match not so long ago.

Stone Cold doesn't wrestle, but makes occasionnal appearances.

[Nervous Ferret]

Stone Cold and The Rock show up once in a blue moon, but don't really wqrestle anymore. Undertaker is on smackDOWN!, not really doing much

[Marcyo]

beat the future mod to it

[Nervous Ferret]

oh yeah and Edge banged Lita, then Matt hardy got fired. icon10.gif

[Anybody Thrilla]

Don't worry, though. Hardcore Holly is still around.

[NoRoolz]

We've seen HHH hold the World Heavyweight title like 90% of the time.

Not sure if that was 2002, so 2003 Rumble Winner was Brock Lesnar, who headline WMXIX against Kurt Angle and won, also he landed on his head when he attempted a shooting star press. Chris Benoit won the 2004 Royal Rumble coming in 1st, he defeated HBK and HHH at WMXX to win the WHC, he held it until SummerSlam and then lost it to Randy Orton, who at the next P.P.V lost it to Triple H. Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble and beat HHH at WM21, he still holds the WHC today. He beat HHH 3 times and is mega-over.

There was a roster draft this year (last years is pointless mentioning).

RVD, Cena, Big Show, Carlito and Kurt Angle went to RAW.
Batista, Christian, Muhammad Hassan, Chris Benoit and Randy Orton to SmackDown!

Eddie Guerrero won the WWE Title at No Way Out 2004 from Broxk Lesnar, and held it until the Great American Bash, where he lost it to Bradshaw... yes BRADSHAW, with a new wall-street, rich American gimmick. Bradshaw, now JBL held the title until WM21, where he lost to John Cena, who is still WWE Champion today. The World Heavyweight title is now on SmackDown and the WWE Championship is on RAW.

We've seen short-lived main-event runs from Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner and Goldberg, all of whom jobbing to Triple H.

There are now Elimination Chamber matches, there have been 3. HBK won 1, and HHH won 2.

Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels had an amazing match at WM21.

Christian has been making shows worthwhile for the past year or so.

Matt Hardy was dating Lita, Edge fucked Lita, Matt was all angry. Matt got fired, then he seemed to be re-hired to feud with Edge again, and lately has been attacking Edge as though he is coming through the crowd and blah blah.

We've seen about 3 or 4 'last' Hulk Hogan matches.

The Cruiserweight division has been going up and down, and times it was good, like when Chavo, Rey and Paul London were involved. But then it went down. Now however, Juventud Guerrera, Psicosis and Super Crazy have been hired and they are in a stable on SmackDown now, cleverly named the Mexicools, they recently had a match and won against the bWo. Who returned recently.

There was an ECW re-union in June that was AMAZING.

Brock Lesnar quit WWE after WMXX to try his luck in football, but...he sucked. So he's now trying to get back into the WWE.

The Tag divisions have been pathetic, and still are now.

Hardcore Holly is STILL with WWE.

The Dudley Boyz were fired.

Kane no longer wears a mask (you might have seen this?).

There have been several Hell in a Cell matches, none being too special. The most recent was Batista/HHH which was meant to be good although I haven't seen it.

The IC title was brought back and so was the US Title (again you may have seen this)

The current I.C champ is Carlito, who debuted in 2004, he is a heel and has a 'cool' gimmick, similar to Razor Ramon. The US Champ is Orlando Jordan, he was in JBL's stable named the cabinet, which also included The Basham Brothers, who were a tag-team but now one of them is on RAW the other on SD!

Edge won a 'Money in the Bank' ladder match at WM21 and is allowed a title shot when he wants one.

Last year we saw the debut of Taboo Tuesday, a P.P.V where the internet decides what matches we see. Last year we had a choice of around 20 people of who we could choose to face y2j for the I.C title, and what type of match Ric Flair and Randy Orton had, and what attire the Diva's would wear in their match.

There has been 2 Diva Searches (one is taking place now). Needless to say they suck balls, and nearly all of the finalists get hired. Christy Hemme won last years.

There have been several firing sprees.

Randy Orton became the youngest champ of all time when he defeated Benoit at SummerSlam 2004.

Road Warrior Animal returned recently and teamed with Heidenreich to win the Tag Titles from MNM (who are a tag team that are celebrities).

Shawn Michaels recently turned heel by SCMing Hulk Hogan (yeah he's back again) and they are fighting at SummerSlam.

The current champions are: (I haven't seen RAW or SmackDown so they could be different, please correct me if they are)

WWE Champion (RAW): John Cena
World Heavyweight Champion (SD!): Batista
I.C Champion (RAW): Carlito Caribbean Cool
U.S Champion (SD!): Orlando Jordan
WWE Tag Champions (SD!): Animal/Heidenreich
World Tag Champions (RAW): Hurricane and Rosey
Womens Champion (RAW): Trish Stratus
Cruiserweight Champion (SD!): Paul London

Oh yeah...

Chavo Guerrero went to RAW and is now known as 'Kerwin White' who is a middle class American. Chavo denounced his Mexican Heritage on RAW.

Muhammad Hassan and Khosrow Daivari debuted last year, and they are Arab-Americans who moan about discrimination etc, and sometimes make references to 9/11, they were drafted to SD! and Hassan lost a match at the Great American Bash meaning he can't appear on SmackDown again. (I haven't seen this weeks SmackDown so feel free to add to this).

The Boogeyman is going to debut soon :D.

That's all I can think of right now, there's probably plenty more, hope this helps a little :y:.

Also go to WWE.com and check out the title history, you can see what has happened title-wise since your WWE hiatus :D.

:y:

[NoRoolz]

^ -Edit- Forget the Title History thing, Marcyo has seen to that :D. I started typing when the last post was Corkscrewed's HHH putting over Batista post :$.

[mitchables]

WOW.

That was excellent. :love:

Only two questions:

Why were the Dudleys fired?

Who else was a part of these "firing sprees"?

[mitchables]

Don't worry, though. Hardcore Holly is still around.

Awesome. I can sleep easy tonight.

[NoRoolz]

The Dudleys were fired because the WWE and them couldn't agree a deal, and there was no real storyline for them.

Other people off my head are: Maven, A-Train, Test, Billy Gunn, Kenzo Suzuki, Mark Jindrak, Marty Jannetty, Gangrel, Jazz, Molly Holly, Chuck Palumbo, Hiroko, Gail Kim, Charlie Haas, Rico, Dawn Marie, Miss Jackie, Akio, Billy Kidman, Spike Dudley, Shannon moore.

Rhyno, Matt Hardy and Luther Reigns were also fired, not during the 'sprees' though.

Gangrel and Marty Jannetty were hired and then fired again.

Come to think of it you probably won't recognise many of the fired names, none are really important really, most were just heat jobbers or random tag-team members.

Charlie Haas and Akio were amazing though, they shouldn't have been fired.

[NoRoolz]

Also the Diva Division is dead, what with all the actual WRESTLING women being fired, we now have Trish, Victoria, and a bunch of silicone sluts, except Stacy :love:.

[Tornado]

WOW.

That was excellent. :love:

Only two questions:

Why were the Dudleys fired?

Who else was a part of these "firing sprees"?
They wheren't fired, they just never negociated a new contract.
Notible people fired where - Jamie Noble, Molly Holly, Billy Kidman, Matt HARDY (back now), Rhyno, Charlie Haas, Luther Reigns, Jazz, Gail Kim, Jamal (of 3 Min Warning) Billy Gunn..and thats all I can think of right now.

[NoRoolz]

Forgot Jamie Noble, he was awesome too :nono:, his bitch got fired too (Nidia) but she was just :| anyway.

[BatistaBomb]

I never even saw the transition from Bradshaw, one-half of the least-active tag teams ever, being carried through promos by Faarooq's sensational reading of his "Damn!" line :love: to hickboy JBL. :$


well i'll be DAMN
sorry could'nt resist
always been a big ron simmons fan always will be

[Amaroqwolf]

Wasn't the Other Hardy fired in the last three years? I wanna say it was three years ago last april but I might be wrong...I just remember a Lot of stupid Fanfiction about Jeff dying and being Fired over on Fanfiction.net. Oh well.

[BatistaBomb]

jeff was fired last year

[Innovator]

Jeff was canned early 2003

Edge fucked Lita. Matt whined. Matt got fired. Fans chant for Matt. WWE rehires Matt.

[Nervous Ferret]

the future:

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/4527/thegame1hd.jpg

[Champion of Europa]

Jamie Noble's firing was because of steriod use.

Kurt Angle called Booker T's wife a gutterslut and wanted to have sex with her.

Eddie Guerrero has been feuding with Rey and has been saying he will reveal a secret to Rey's son if Rey lost at the Great American Bash. Rey won at the Bash, but apparently Eddie is going to reveal the secret anyway.

Heidenreich is a talentles big man who reads bad poetry.

Chris Masters is a talentless big man who has a contest to see who can break his full nelson, dubbed 'The Masterlock'.

Shelton Benjamin has been the man.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Chris Masters is the man, actually.

[TerranRich]

Iif you saw Marty Jannetty in that firing-spree list, your eyes do not deceieve you. He was brought back for two matches, one in a tag with Shawn Michaels on RAW, and another on the following SmackDown! against Kurt Angle, because at the time (just before WM 21), Angle was trying to show up Shawn Michaels, whom he was facing at WM 21, so he brought in his old tag partner.

Oh, on that note, the next week Kurt came out to HBK's theme along with Sensational Sherri (:D) singing "I'm just a sexy Kurt!" Priceless.

After, while Kurt was injured (I think), he held a Kurt Angle Invitational against "hometown heroes" where the winner would get his gold medal (the real one) if he could simply last 3 minutes with Angle. The hometown heroes were usually indy wrestlers from that area, except for the end of the Invitationals, where the last three were as follows: (1) Matt Stryker, some teacher that got fired for skipping work to go to wrestling shows/practice, came on and lost to Angle with ONE SECOND remaining. The following week, he called himself Matt Martel, but Kurt saw through it and beat it with like 20 seconds left. Then, the next week, Eugene (the mentally retarded wrestler) REVERSED the ankle lock, which usually beat the other guys, and kicked Angle out of the ring, lasting until the time expired, and won the gold medals. This was this past Monday, so we're waiting on what'll happen next.

Also, as was stated above, the Women's wrestling division is now pretty much dead. Trish Stratus is out with an injury and technically holds the title, although it's meaningless now. The women that are left are: Torrie Wilson, Melina (the last "M" in MNM, see below), Stacy Keibler, Christy Hemme (she's training to be a wrestler apparently), Lita, and Victoria (who reverted back to her psycho chick gimmick recently). That's it.

The new faces:
MNM - A new tag team, stands for Mercury Nitro Melina. Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro (who was on Tough Enough III I believe), and Melina, their valet.

The Heart Throbs - A tag team that, while on dark matches and in OVW, had a gimmick similar to that of Billy & Chuck, as "The Heart Breakers". Now, as the Throbs, they seem to be more like the guys from Night At The Roxbury, where they try to hit on chicks (only Lilian after her breakup with Viscera so far) and fail. Not much from these two.

Carlito Caribbean Cool - Now just Carlito, he has his own segment on RAW called Carlito's Cabana, where he interviews people. He's a heel, but I personally love him. He's hilarious, spitting apples at people's faces when they "don't want to be cool". His intro vignettes were pretty humorous, but his backstages promos and segments are hilarious. His first match in the WWE, on SD!, was against John Cena for the I/C Title (I think), which was lost back to him, then regained again (I think).

Matt Morgan was around for awhile, first as a blond who-cares-about-him wrestler, then as a stuttering big guy with a beard. Never really went anywhere (he was on Tough Enough II I believe) and got released recently.

The Hurricane got a sidekck in Rosey, who used to be part of a tag team called Three Minute Warning. 3MW was called to the ring by Bischoff every time somebody's promo went over 3 minutes. Jamal, the other guy, left eventually, and Rosey became a S.H.I.T. (Super Hero In Training). I swear it's the truth.

Simon Dean made his debut as a RAW advertising sponsor, for his "Simon System", a weight loss dietary supplement designed to help people lose weight...your typical anti-fat-people gimmick. He used to be Nova in ECW.

Jon Heidenreich, now just Heidenreich, was introduced by Paul Heyman as a big threat, and soon after he was discovered to have little talent, was transformed into a fun-loving guy who reads poetry (called Disaster-pieces) and at one point brought kids to the ring to be his "friend". Now he just wants other wrestlers to be his friends, and anybody he faces on RAW apparently didn't want to be his friend (seriously).

Chris Masters is a big hoss that Vince probably creamed himself over while hiring him. He first came out and stiffed Steven Richards so bad he broke his nose with a stiff Polish Hammer. Now he does "Masterlock Challenges", in which he offers up money (upped every week, now at $12,000 I believe) to anyone who can break his Masterlock, which is just a full nelson. Val Venis, Tajiri, and Rosey have tried but failed, although the challenge was initially open to fans. Big Show is now the guy that thinks he can beat it, but Masters won't let him get near him and has halted the challenges for the time being.

Shelton Benjamin, although not really new in the past 3 years, is doing well for himself as a singles competitor. He was the I/C champ for awhile, untl Carlito beat him for it his first night on RAW (after being drafted from SD!).


Stacy Keibler recently started running with Hurricane and Rosey, wearing a mask and calling herself Super-Stacy.

Also, Theodore Long is now SmackDown!'s general manager, replacing Paul Heyman, who replaced Stephanie McMahon, etc. Bischoff is still RAW's GM, while Coach was temporary GM for a time (wasn't he? I might be mistaking it for an SvR storyline :p)

I don't know if this is recent as of 2002 or not, but Jericho also has his own RAW segment, called Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel, complete with a large widescreen plasma TV that gets lowered to the ring, calle the JeriTron 3000. :D

WWE also recently began blurring the line between kayfabe and reality when they brought Matt Hardy back while still released from the company. They made his run-ins to look semi-realistic while security guards and trainers would nearly and legimately beat the crap out of him every time he'd interfere. The announcers wouldn't even talk while he made his appearances, addiing to the realism. He even stated on his web site (which allegedly got him fired in the first place) that he was doing this on his own, not under contract. Just recently, he admitted that it's all a work.

I forgot when La Resistance and Rob Conway made their debuts, but ask us if they're new to you.

The ECW One Night Stand PPV in June was quite simply amazing. Kayfabe was broken, promos were cut, and, of course, WWE interfered. JBL and Kurt Angle led their anti-ECW teams to the PPV (which, under storyline, was funded by Vince, since he funded the original ECW as well) and interfered physically only toward the end. RVD and Heyman cut the best promos of the night. Joey Styles and Mick Foley were the commentators and everybody who was in the ECW and was still under WWE contract appeared in their original gimmicks. For example, Simon Dean wrestled as Nova in the bWo, and Steven Richards reverted to his bWo character as well (Big Stevie Cool) and stopped being serious.

Amusingly enough, Mike Bucci currently plays both Simon Dean and Nova on WWE programming, both on SmackDown! but in separate segments.

John Cena and Batista, two relatively new guys, are now the top champs (John Cena = WWE, Batista = World Heavyweight). A LOT of the guys in WWE right now are from OVW, by the way.

That's all I can think of for now. :)

[TerranRich]

Also, about the Hassan situation lately...

Hassan, as explained above, is a heel, complaining about prejudice since events like 9/11 took place, against his people (Arab-Americans, although Mark Copani is actually Italian-American himself). His manager, Khosrow Daivari, wrestled a few times, but is mainly a manager and usually speaks Farsi after Hassan rants during his promos. (He's been known to speak English on the show as well.)

Three weeks ago, Hassan called upon six masked guys to help him beat the Undertaker in a grudge match (Taker caused Hassan to be unofficially counted out from a six-man match for what was going to be a SmackDown! title, because both World titles were drafted to RAW at the time...Batista was drafted to SD! thereafter, making a SD! Title unnecessary). Anyway, an event occured on Wednesday/Thursday morning in London, as you well know, that made people very pissed off, although the segment was taped on Tuesday. People called Hassan a terrorist, when the guys under the masks were actually white and were simply assumed to be Arabs.

UPN, who initially let the segment air, told WWE that they didn't want Hassan to be on SmackDown! anymore, so WWE.com aired a promo (for the site only, not on TV) where Hassan came out to the crowd and called them all hypocrits for believing his associates were terrorists and Arabian, when they simply helped him beat Taker. He made a lot of sense to the smark community, but not to the general mark audience, who began chanting USA! against him, after he reiterated that he was an American! This from the fans who chanted USA! at a Bret Hart/Yokozuna match, or a match full of Canadians and French-Canadians.

Anyway, WWE "killed off" his character, so to speak, at the Great American bash, when Taker last-ride'd him through the entrance stage to the concrete floor beneath (a floor panel was moved by Taker beforehand for this spot). Long then put up a promo on WWE.com saying that Hassan can go to hell (for what, I'm still not certain), or to RAW for all he cares. Since UPN only deals with SmackDown! this seems like the most sensible way to bring back Hassan, who was on RAW to begin with.

Anyway, more on Hassan. He spurred a shitload of running gimmicks on YTMND.com, where his entrance music would interrupt important events or events that had nothing to do with wrestling. Search for "Hassan" on www.ytmnd.com for examples or search the forums here, plenty of them were posted. :p This is because Hassan himself would always interrupt promos, starting with his theme music, which begins with a resounding "ALLLAAALLLEEEYYAAALLELEAYELELLALAEYEALELAELYALEA..."

It'd also a running gag here as well to "Hassan" threads that suck, or just randomly for fun. :p I do a lot of the Hassan-ing actually. ;)

[El Santo]

The only things you need to know, Mitch:

Eddie Guerrero was the reigning Undisputed Champion at Wrestlemania 20.

And Chris Benoit won the World Heavyweight Championship on the same show, leading to a classic moment when the two champs hug in the ring.

Also, Brock Lesnar was top face/top heel of Smackdown, but he'll probably be best known for his (botched) Shooting Star Press in WM19. At which I was cheering (along with a lot of the crowd) for the top heel, Kurt Angle --- as he was wrestling with a broken neck and was due for surgery, but his commitment to his fans came first and he wrestled a truly life-threatening match. God bless Kurt.

[Innovator]

God bless Kurt.How can Kurt bless himself?

[James Steele]

He's Kurt Angle. He can do that.

[Nervous Ferret]

http://fifhassan.ytmnd.com/

[loopydate]

Continuing on the Brock Lesnar story, the guy has terrible WrestleMania luck. As mentioned before, he landed on his head at WM19 (and this is a 280+-pound guy we're talking about here). And just before WM20, it got out that he was going to leave WWE to pursue a career in football, so the crowd at WM20 were ruthless toward him during his match with Goldberg. The match itself was terrible, and the crowd made it that much worse.

To add to the title histories (I'm counting every title change in the last three years):

[TerranRich]

Oh, for title histories, you could've gone to http://titles.xylot.com ;) My site. :)

[KingofOldSchool]

Four words...

It wasn't...my...fault!

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh and a retard has Kurt Angle's Olympic Gold Medals.

[mitchables]

Thanks guys, you've all been way more helpful than I could ever have even imagined. :$ :love:

[TerranRich]

Oh yeah, forgot about Gene Snitsky and Eugene in my detailed report. :p

[Nervous Ferret]

yes Eugene is Eric Bischoff's "nephew", and he is retarded, but in a manly way.

And Gene Snitsky killed Lita's baby when she was married to Kane, and then she fell in love with Kane, only to reveal later to be in love with Edge, who she then married. And now Matt Hardy is coming back and attacking Edge every week.

[Nervous Ferret]

And somehow Lita and Snitsky are now "friends". I really completely missed how that happened though.

[Nervous Ferret]

But none of it was Gene's fault.

[Just John]

obviously

[mitchables]

Absolutely none of that Snitsky/Kane/Edge/Matt Hardy/Lita angle seems to make sense. :$

[Vastardikai]

Absolutely none of that Snitsky/Kane/Edge/Matt Hardy/Lita angle seems to make sense. :$

Look at it this way:

It made no sense to you hearing about it.

It made LESS sense to those of us who WATCHED it.
