you thought Jack was gonna win ?
I believe Austin´s exact words were: "You sit there, and you suck your bible, and you think you´re prayer, even that ain´t got you anywhere. Talk about your sons, talk about about John 3, 16... Austin 3, 16 says i just whooped your ass". I could be wrong, though, anyway i don´t remeber many people prediciting Jack to win the King Of The Ring Tourny in 96, i´d say out of the four finalists (Jack, Mero, Austin and Vader) Jack probably had the least votes. I thought Vader was gonna take it, but i guess the WWF felt he was over enough to match HBK for the main event at SummerSlam. By the way, the original plan within WWF managment was to have Helmsley win the crown, but after the infamous MSG incident involvin HBK, Hall, Nash and helmsley, where Nash and Hall were makin their last date in the WWF, and HBK was already in the middle of the biggest push of his life, Helmsley got the punishment, thus forcin managment to change their plans and have Austin win the crown. I´d say it all turned out pretty well, didn´t it ???
