Hogan-Orton Major Botch Moment

[dtm8117]

This actually had me shout at my television like I was watching a football game. After Orton pinned Hogan, the fall was overturned afterthe fact because Hogan's foot was on the rope. Looking at any replay you'll see Hogan's foot hit the rope after the third count.

For Hogan to resurface at 50 and refuse to put over Orton (Honestly, what can Orton do now?), it only becomes more outrageous that he can't get his foot up in time when the pin was practically set up under the rope.

Remember when The Rock's feet hit the floor at Royal Rumble and Big Show worked an angle so that they could both be in the main event at Wrestlemania (it was the four-McMahon fatal four way)? I think they should do something similar with Orton. Hogan fucked up, so he shouldn't be praised for the win.

I wonder if that was on purpose now that you mention in. It may be a way for Orton to save face and whine.

If U looked very close, Hogan's foot hit the rope just before the 3!! Watched over and over!!!

shit yeah thios could be on purpose, if it was after the three, like orton getting screwed

It doesn't matter when his foot hit the rope- the whole match was a train wreck.

Hogan has never been known to be a great wrestler. Anyone remember the "fingerpoke of Doom" To be honest all of us (including me) like him for his great chrisma, mic skills and his abilty to get pop from a crowd

I know that Hogan used more moves back when he wrestled in Japan- wish he would have done that here.

ok ppl need to calm down. obviously the match sucked it was gonna be that way from the start especially since hogans injured, so they did what they should've done. they made the match go third so it wasnt looked at like a main event or semi main event

 

[trd1986]

his foot was on the rope by the three, watch it in slow mode! but still the old guy looked to be taken it easy

 

[dtm8117]

You were right guys, and I'm sorry. Still, the referee has no business reversing his own decision based on something he didn't see.

But you gotta remember, Wrestling is more soap opera orientated so it was Drama they were looking for. Randy Orton is stupid though i hate when people go off and celebrate i mean everyone knew it was fake and he didnt win, Because his music didnt hit after the pinfall (Which usually happens STRAIGHT AWAY) Hogan did take it very easy in that match, But can you blame him, He is suffeing a legitimate injury so yeah.
But just for the sake of the thread, Hogans leg was on the rope before the 3 count.
