Posted September 5, 201510 yr comment_5697258 What are some of those times when you thought for sure the promotion was going in one direction - a direction you didn't want to see them go - and, miraculously, they made you proud by going the other way? For example, I remember watching the instantaneous rise of The Patriot in 1997, and I was so sure that they were going to let him win the belt at the Ground Zero PPV. I marked out hard when Bret beat him (of course not knowing what was coming around the bend). Had a similar experience with Luger/Flair in Feb '90, although I was a much bigger Luger fan than I was a Patriot fan. Anyway, got anything like that?
