>>5163347>because he never wanted itI think because he more so realized TK wasn't gonna book him as champion, at least for the next however many years, so he just made that a stipulation to add some heat to the match, as well as potential future angles. Speaking of, it's genuinely bizarre to see retards acting like this stipulation was a real thing, as if he never literally never could fight for the title again. It's wrestling, it's all a work. Just see how many retirement matches Terry Funk had.
