0:00.0 | So wrestling is wrestling. There's a stupid way to start the video, but by its nature, it's a lie. |
0:05.9 | It's the whole point. It does mean WWE can basically write their own narratives as and when they want to, |
0:11.1 | so let's go through some of these today. It's fun. Who doesn't like to lie? Just ask Cody Rhodes and |
0:17.0 | Brian Danielson. Number 10, the attendance figures. So for years, W.W.E. has |
0:21.9 | inflated its attendance figures. They're not alone as all promotions have done this, but if you can |
0:27.0 | increase the number by 10%, do it. It's not actually going to affect anything. This did lead to a big |
0:32.3 | hoo-haar about the WrestleMania 3 crowd size, because for years, WWE had claimed it as 93,173. It was a record and an amazing |
0:41.2 | feat, almost 100,000 people watching the grappling. Then one day, the resting observers, Dave Meltzer |
0:46.8 | said he had spoken to former W.W.E. Big Wig Zane Bredslav, who said actually the figure was |

1:06.2 | attendances were not what was revealed on the night. As I am a well-adjusted human, I couldn't care less, |
1:11.9 | because it is just a bunch of people in a building, but you can take that information and do |
1:16.1 | whatever you want. Menign, Randy Savage's departure. All things consider, this is super sad now. |
1:22.1 | After WCW had gone, we should have brought back the matrimand to the W.W.E. If he did not. It all goes back |
1:28.3 | to when Randy Savage first left the WWF because it was not a happy exit. The short version |
1:32.9 | is Matcho had wanted to keep wrestling, but as he dared to go over the age of 40, Vince McMahon |
1:38.2 | told him nope, you're a commentator now. How stupid is that? It meant when World Championship |
1:43.0 | wrestling called him up and said they'd love for him to |
1:45.1 | continue fighting, Savage jumped at the opportunity because that's what he wanted. |
1:49.9 | It became so messy as McMahon then announced on air, this was down to not being able to |
