KB Answers Wrestling Questions

You know the "continuation rule" in basketball in which a player driving the lane gets to complete his march to the basket even after he's been fouled? If he makes the shot, he gets credit for the basket and he gets to shoot a foul shot.

How might this play in pro wrestling? If a wrestler is in a pinning predicament near his corner and, as he's being counted out, he manages to tag his partner.....and the referee sees it.

Does the count continue, and in the second or two it takes the tagged-in partner to climb in the ring, the ref counts to three and the match is over? Is there a "continuation" provision in wrestling that allows the count to be completed?

At first thought, I figure the count stops as soon as the tag is made....but that even if the ref keeps counting, the match won't be over because upon the tag being made, the guy getting pinned is no longer the legal man in the ring. But then, I remembered all the times one guy is about to get counted out.....and his partner enters the ring without being tagged and breaks up the count. The ref will warn the non-legal guy, but I've never seen anyone disqualified for doing that. Doesn't it work both ways?

What do you think, KB? Ever see this happen?

I vaguely remember this happening back in WCW. The tag would count, but if the referee doesn't see it you're setting up a Dusty Finish. Rules like those usually go with whatever the story of the match call for.

What do you think about Austin Aries being signed to a long term contract with TNA?

Smart idea to prevent him from jumping.

Opinion on HHH's ability to play a face role? As a heel he's one of my favourites but his face work feels forced and stupid to me.

It's hardly forced. He comes off as fine as one and since he's a special attraction at this point it would make no sense to have him be a heel today.

Shelton vs. Shawn on May 2, 2005. It's my all time favorite match.

Close second: IYH 7 vs. Diesel. Just a great brawl.

Both great matches and the ending to the Shelton vs Shawn match was just awesome.

My pick would have to be his return against Triple H at Summerslam something about that match just never gets old and I felt it had great storytelling as well.
 
The Rock said he is strongly considering wrestling a few matches prior to WM 29. what do you think of that? Who would you like to see him wrestle?
