So I can totally see (justify, even) why the WWF would not have just axed the show then and there.<br /><br />Of course, having all these matches was rather pointless in the long run, because of course they'd never air them. So the show is basically "the show that never happened", despite including a World Title change (which I remember being pretty awful). The fact that anyone watching at home was just emotionally stunned makes it even worse. Few things are as uncomfortable as watching Jarrett try to keep a hold of himself here and the next Monday.jabronivillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-4182985137070036532013-05-24T01:39:54.439-06:002013-05-24T01:39:54.439-06:00If it was true, which it isn't, I could hardly...If it was true, which it isn't, I could hardly blame him.
