#### WWE for burying Bart Gunn like that. Dude won that tournament fair and square, and wasn't even given a chance to start an angle with Austin as promised. How do you know what you have if you don't give them the ball to run with? That's classic WWE for you.

I don't think there was ever a real promise of a winner vs Austin program, the bottom line was Dr Death was being built for that program and it was expected that he would win the tournament because he was considered to be that tough. Instead all that happened is a bunch of Wrestlers got hurt.
Here's the fight between JBL and Gunn, you can see that Bart had a whole other level of punching power then anyone else in that stupid tournmanet, and JBL realized that after the first knock down, and he was clearly out cold in the second one
It was a stupid tournament and a typical Russo disaster. Wrestlers ain't fighters. Butterbean and we can make fun of a lot of things with him, legitimately was a trained fighter with a vicious knockout power punch, and yeah it was a mercy kill
