And now for some overselling.

I kid though. Perfect saved Jericho's career by raising his knees to catch the guy before he hayabusa-ed himself on a lionsault and the dude Perfect-plexed Bigshow. Guy was a gem and he'd sell for anyone. Hell watch his match with Beefcake sometime and watch how hard he tried to put the guy over.
 
So obviously, Wrestlemania 12 is in the books and Dave was there live and in person. He says the iron man match, with all its rest holds, actually bored a lot of the crowd (most of whom were seemingly only there to see the return of Ultimate Warrior) and that people were actually leaving during the main event. He wouldn't say they were leaving in droves, but enough people left that, by the end of the match, there were a few thousand empty seats. A lot of people went to get snacks during the early part of the match, since they knew they would be wrestling for an hour. Halfway through, when it started to become apparent that there weren't going to be any falls, a lot of fans began booing every near-fall and rest hold. Dave has since watched it back and says it was an excellent match to watch on TV, but live, the audience just couldn't have cared less. It was a great match, but the WWF-hype calling it the greatest match of all time is over the top. Dave doesn't even think it was the best title match WWF has ever had and says it wasn't even in the same league as the famous Flair/Steamboat hour-long matches that people are comparing it to.

Didn't know a fair few decent people left Wrestlemania 12 during the Iron Man match because they were bored.

Its the match that, according to Hall and Nash, caused Vince to say that he'd rather half a half empty arena cheering for his guy than a full arena cheering for who they wanted. So, we can ultimately blame HBK for Roman Reigns
