it is all about your internet stream & your machine's capabilities

just stream one event at a time & you should be fine

Watching the '94 Rumble with Bret and Owen taking on the Quebeccers. Forgot that Bret lost in a submission where he didn't tap, well before Montreal.

To be fair that really was one of the times that the person turning heel (Owen) had a legitimate gripe with the person he was turning on. In kayfabe, it was absurd for Bret to not tag him there.

Such a gross flaw in wrestling story lines when heels are almost completely in the right, and faces act like bullies or otherwise *******s. We unfortunately tend to see that more and more often, especially on recent years.

I mean it was always there. Hogan was far from virtuous. He hits DiBiase with a blatant chair shot to give his buddy Macho the title at WM IV. He atomic drops a woman (Sensational Sherri) at SummerSlam '89. He pulls Sid Justice out of the ring in the '92 Rumble for having the audacity to eliminate him in an "every man for himself" event.

I don't really mind the shades of grey where almost everyone is willing to bend the rules sometimes; what's stupid is the babyface commentators backing up how awesome and justifiable a face's heelish actions are.

Let the face announcers be homers sometimes, but don't let them off the hook for their stupidity

I agree with the last 2 posts. But Heel comeuppance is one of the most satisfying elements of pro wrestling (see HHH this past WM). Baby face bullying, like Sheamus pooping all over ADR's car without provocation, undermines that important dynamic. So I like to see it minimized whenever possible.

Poor Sheamus. After cutting this promo there's just no way to recover in life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjhJDywvGKI#t=10m12s

That CM Punk promo following the Sheamus one is a little ironic

If any city deserved to be subjected to HHH and friends, I'm glad it was Oklahoma City

By the way, in terms of setting hypocritical babyface announcers in line, yes Heenan was great, but nobody compared to Jesse Ventura at that skill. He was perfect at just getting furious and going at the other announcer.
