Best Over-Sell

Shawn put up a number of ideas that would all have had Hogan going over at SummerSlam. One including him beating Hogan in a completely dirty finish, with Hogan getting the revenge win at SS. What irritates me, and what irritated Michaels, was that the entire thing HAD to be done Hogan's way from the get-go, which oh just happened to be the way that made him look the best.

Yeah, and if he'd have done that you'd just have more ammo to call him a crybaby.

But nope, instead of putting on a match he puts on a farce, who suffers? The people who paid to watch it, while Michaels ego gets another stroke.

A) All of Hogan's matches since his loss to Lesnar back in '02 have been farces.
B) It seems to me that a lot of people enjoyed the match BECAUSE of Shawn's performance. His overselling isn't going to hurt marks, who are more likely to think "OMGLOOK HOW GR8 HOGAN STILL IZ!" and the overselling amuses a large part of the IWC.

And because that info was apparently floating about online it MUST be correct like everything else on the internet? All we'll ever know is how the match that took place panned out, unless michaels talks about it in a shoot interview. And even then michaels is not exactly immune to talking complete bollocks even with his new found faith.

So all backstage information we recieve is a non-issue in these arguments unless we have personal confirmation from the people involved? That would eliminate most if not all of the discussions on the internet.

Backstage info isn't always accurate. I just doubt the info would go into detail like how the matches would pan out and in what way they'd be won. If they did brock would not be pleased.
