At Wrestlemania a few years ago Brock Lesnar was fighting Roman Reigns. Brock hit Roman with an F5, and both men collapsed. Then Seth Rollins music hit and he came out to cash in the money in the bank briefcase so he could compete for the world title. He hit his curb stomp on Lesnar. He then went for a second curb stomp but Lesnar lifted him for the F5. Roman hen speared Lesnar. This allowed Rollins to hit his curb stomp on Reigns, and win the title. The thing I've always wondered - was this a work, or a shoot, or a work that became a shoot?

Some fans on the internet hated him since they felt he was only pushed because he was friends with Bischoff. They kept holding this against him and got really mad that he was put over Benoit in early 98. The idea was that he was making himself look better than he actually was by working with wrestlers like Benoit. Basically they wouldn't give him credit for anything. Scott Keith was a big offender.

DDP really felt like a star for a little bit of time, and then he didn't. TNA really did a great job of being their spiritual successor, as they managed to do this time and time again with people like Ken Anderson, The Pope, Desmond Wolf, Austin Aeries, Raven, Samoa Joe, and Monte Brown.

Wrestleline seemed to have some strange vendetta against DDP on the whole.

Joe and Brown are the real big gently caress-ups by TNA, where they squandered what they had by not pulling the trigger until far too late and then giving up when the reaction wasn't as big as it would've been had they gone with either guy earlier.

Total work. Either Pat Patterson called that finish or someone who cribbed heavily from his notes. Besides neither of those guys are Undertaker so if something didn't go according to what Brock agreed to, he woulda killed them live on PPV(see: Holly, Bob).

Brock was shooting on Roman, so they had to send in Seth, but that part was planned and a work. As Brock respects Seth (unlike Roman) this got him to cooperate and finish up the match.

The Final Deletion and the two aftermath videos (the public viewing and the in-ring promo) are really good but I can't imagine an hour-long podcast having the same legs.
