I understand that mistakes happen in professional wrestling, but there are some very few times where you can EASILY explain away certain things. So Kofi Kingston got eliminated from the Royal Rumble in dramatic fashion. Seems every year Kofi pulls off some spectacular move to stay in the Rumble. In this moment, Kofi was launched out of the ring and into the stands, he was supposed to land on the barricade, but was short by 2 inches and his feet hit the floor. At first, it was very close to see if he actually got eliminated. And then they did the worst thing and put the replay on the screen for everyone to see and it was determined that he was eliminated.

Why show the replay? You are in control of all the camera angles for the entire show. You could’ve easily had a ref come over and wave his hands saying Kofi didn’t hit the floor and nobody would’ve questioned it. It just seemed dumb to let the fans see the angle and not just quickly pretend Kofi never touched the floor.
