The ref didn't know Lesnar was going to win

[The Antagonist]

Unless things have changed since '05 (Which they could have) I don't buy the whole "Refs are told to finish the count no matter what" theory. In Wrestlemania 21 when Shawn faced Angle, Angle took too long to kick out at one point, and Tim White stalled for him and clearly held his hand up longer before bringing it down for the three count so that he could kick out, because he knew who was supposed to win

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Doubt me that ref did

 

[Ill Lou Malnati]

He would have needed that car waiting in the back like Earl Hebner at the Montreal Screwjob

Nah, could've just ran out the door and rode shotgun with a stranger like Orton did a few months ago on Raw.

EDIT: Nevermind, someone else already brought it up

 

[Slystallion]

They also said it was Vince's call to end the streak and not Taker's...if so what a stupid move

 

[Broad Street Bully]

that same driver that randomly saved orton months ago would have to fight that mania traffic to save that ref

Now thinking about that bullshyt, why didnt they capitalize on that? who the fukk car was he jumping into? smh

Don't the refs get told when to 'go home'?

It was one of three media worthy things about mania. It was probably the biggest thing to happen to wredtling

It was a great moment though and happening at 30 makes sense and it's shocking that it's Lesnar and it wouldn't have been if it was Cena

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

Makes sense because his reaction after he counted the pin, he looked like he felt he fukked up

Yeah it was bizzare, the whole thing felt off.

They need to do a book on the streak and it ending. This ending is like a minor Montreal screwjob as it was a shock to the whole world besides 3-4 people

New link:

You actually see the ref continuously waving it off RIGHT after he counts to 3 (2:02)1:48. He didn't know what the fukk to do. Dudes heart was probably racing a trillion beats per millisecond

Edit: That big gulp he does at 2:24 2:07

Hate those types of fans

Still a great wrestling moment

 

[Atsym Sknyfs]

Is it me or doesnt Brock look like Mike Holmes

 

[Konnan]

I'm sure he threw up in his mouth a little from the nerves

Vinny Mac's reaction had to have been priceless

Arriba la raza

That's the sheets talking but we'll know who's decision it was one of these days Why would you say it's a stupid move?

 

[Momentum]

Considering they had the 21-1 graphic ready to go, a few people knew
