Incorrect listings?[edit]

I know the info here comes from somewhere else, but why is Farooq listed as eliminating himself? Whether or not Johnson was eliminated or used a 2x4, he should be the one credited with the elimination, with a note of course that he had already eliminated himself. 2nd, Mascaras did not eliminate himself. He went through the ropes, and then jumped out. And of course the refs forced him out. So I guess the list is correct, but the fact is he never got eliminated. Or does climbing to the top turnbuckle count as being back in the ring? Well I guess it does since that's how the events unfolded. Sorry to answer my own question, but what about Farooq and Johnson? 118.42.219.133 (talk) 13:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson didn't eliminate Faarooq, Faarooq eliminated himself to get away from Johnson. I guess the refs considered Mascaras to be back in the ring (I would have to watch it again to check). TJ Spyke 14:38, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think Austin snuck back in twice. Look at when Farooq is eliminated and you can see Austin on the outside. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.242.215.170 (talk) 20:16, 3 February 2013 (UTC) Ok, never mind. He rolled out of there and that means he wasn't eliminated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.53.141.3 (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To answer one of the questions, Mascaras was eliminated when he leapt on to Pirroth. 96.242.215.170 (talk) 01:21, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
