The fights were real, but the E wanted the outcomes scripted. Meaning, guys had to take it easy and get KO'd for the sake of putting the other over. That's a hard pill to swallow, knowing that you HAVE to get beat up, legit, just to push someone else.
Pierre of the Quebecers take on his match against Dr. Death. His outcome was scripted similar to the Screwjob, where they rang the bell on him early, saying he couldn't continue, even though he could have continued. He admitted that he was gassed, but still was swinging.
Jim Cornette hated that tournament. He admits it ruined pushes and careers, all for the sake of getting Vince off.
Seeing some of the wrestling bad asses in the ring not being able to actually throw hands, killed the mystique for some for me. Especially RW Hawk, I thought he would handle business, and he fought like a girl. A lot of those guys had no type of technique with their hands. They would get dropped in the street.
