Given how far in advance the WWF was echoing that 'ninety thousand plus' line, including interviews the day of the show, it does seem like they had a number in mind way ahead -- they wanted to say they beat The Rolling Stones for sure. Plus there is the issues of The Pope's numbers and the capacity which could accommodate that 90k range with floor seats.<br /><br />One other caveat to keep in mind, I think Meltzer confirmed those numbers in 1997 -- and Zane Bresloff was working for WCW at that time.nwa88noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-49079835205649081212015-03-24T14:01:59.081-06:002015-03-24T14:01:59.081-06:00Absolutely.

Personally their last chance to fix him without going off of tv would be to book him to lose at Fast Lane but the very last chance they have is here. Book him like he's got Brock on the ropes but makes a rookie mistake like he goes for a spear but runs into a surprise Kimura lock or something. He'll lose but in such a way that Brock looked more desperate rather than a decisive victory. Then book him as an asskicker clawing his way back to the top by SS you may have something.Kenolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-58635218266153830352015-03-24T14:01:49.156-06:002015-03-24T14:01:49.156-06:00Shouldn't his hair stylist induct him?Shouldn't his hair stylist induct him?Charismatic eNegro Jef Vinsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-2620135997915726612015-03-24T13:59:22.980-06:002015-03-24T13:59:22.980-06:00Foley is now insinuating he was joking:
