Someone asked Lance Storm to provide details of the Takeroonie rib and he deferred, saying it might make TV still. Anybody think this might show up in the Raw 10th Anniversary Special? Could just be a Confidential bit too, but it would definitely be worth seeing.
Probably more likely that it would be a Confidential piece if it were to air. It would actually be pretty sad if they had to show material that didn't air during the anniversary show. That could be interpreted as not enough good stuff was on the air during 10 years so they have to take stuff they didn't show to fill up this special.
I want you to know, I agree with everything I've just said.

From some wrestling site:
When cameras stopped rolling, the real fun started. Taker told Booker T that the people came here to see the Spinaroonie. After Booker did it, he told Taker that these people came here to see the Takeroonie! Undertaker told him it's gimmick infringement and he didn't want to butcher Booker's move. The Rock went back to the ring and told Taker to do the Takeroonie. Undertaker didn't want to do it and then HHH came out and wanted Taker to do the move! The Un-Americans came out as well and said they're out here to see UT embarrass himself doing the Takeroonie. Despite everyone telling him to do it, Taker said no....and 'No Chance In Hell' hit the speakers and the man himself came out. Vince McMahon told Taker that he has the grapefruits to do it! Booker showed Vince how to do the Vincaroonie and McMahon follows with a poorly done spinaroonie. Triple H got on the mic and told Vince that he's officially the whitest person on the face of the planet! Goldust then told Taker what do to, but Vince cuts him off and told UT that the people saw the Vincaroonie, the Fagaroonie and now it's time to see the Takeroonie. Undertaker just stood back and chuckled. HHH then told UT that he has the balls to do it, and Triple H performs a Tripleroonie only to be welcomed by a Taker chokeslam. The Un-Americans hit the ring but Taker chases them up the ramp with his bike to a loud chorus of boos from the crowd. Triple H then said that we still didn't see a Rockaroonie and Rock asks the crowd if they want to see it. The Rock did the Rockaroonie and Triple H tried to jump The Rock but Rocky gets him in the Rock Bottom and also delivered the People's Elbow. As Rock, Booker and Goldust leave, Triple H gets back on the mic and told him - while laughing - that he hated him! A good 30 minute showdown with a huge rib on the Undertaker by everyone in the ring.
January 4th 1999 - The day WCW injected itself with 10 gallons of Liquid Anthrax...AKA...The day Hogan "Defeated" Nash to win the WCW title in front of 40,000.
At a RAW taping last August Undertaker, Goldust, Booker T and The Rock lost to Triple H and The Un-Americans. After the broadcast, Undertaker approached Booker T as though he were going to attack him...instead he announced that the fans came to see the spinaroonie. Booker T obliged. Then as Undertaker was about to leave the ring, Booker T said everyone also wants to see a "takeroonie"
UT balked, but then the "takeroonie" challenge was repeated by (in order):
The Rock Goldust Triple H The Un-Americans and a surprise appearance by Vince McMahon
Long story short a spinaroonie contest broke out, so we got to see Goldust, The Rock, Triple H and Vince all do Spinaroonies. As they took the chance to rib Undertaker. The entire segment lasted almost 40 minutes, all after RAW went off the air.
A fun segment that concluded a fun RAW.
edit: oops, someone beat me to the punch...damn stubby fingers...can't type fast enough.

In short, after a Raw main event that had Booker T & Undertaker (and some other people) facing a heel team went off the air, 'Taker did the thing with Booker T about how it was time for him to give the people what they came to see. After Booker T did his Spinaroonie, 'Taker started to leave but Booker stopped him and told him it was time for 'Taker to give the people what they came to see... a 'Taker roonie. 'Taker had no idea Booker was going to do this and tried to beg off. Then The Rock came down and demanded a 'Takeroonie too. Taker still refused and eventually Vince McMahon himself came down and demanded a Takeroonie. Even HHH who was a heel came down and said this was so good that he had to see it in person, also demanding the Takeroonie. The Unamericans (who were the heels in the preceding match, come to think of it) stand on the ramp to watch in person as well. Vince offers to do a Vinceroonie in exchange to which HHH says he'll do a Triparoonie and then Rock says if there's a Vinceroonie and Triparoonie then there's going to be a Rockaroonie as well. Vince does his. I think Goldust does one and then after HHH does one, Taker chokeslams him and as the Unamericans charge the ring to defend HHH (the only heel in a ring full of faces) 'Taker gets the hell out of the arena as fast as he can because the entire thing was an unscripted rib on him. Might be a few facts wrong there, since this is from memory, but that was the gist of it.
I kinda feel like describing it, too... Don't you feel like an asshole when you type something out and find out that someone else managed to post what you were gonna say right before you said it?
It would make a killer Easter Egg on a DVD, wouldn't it?
Welcome Christmas, bring your cheer Cheer to all Whos far and near Christmas day is in our grasp, so long as we have hands to clasp Christmas day will always be, just as long as we have we Welcome Christmas, while we stand Heart to heart and hand in hand
That'd be sweet for these type of things to be on a DVD...such as when the wrestlers break kayfabe...
Don't know if the cameras keep rolling at these times...just like when Triple H did the "People's Elbow" or Austin, who has been known to stay after TV time for the fan's enjoyment.

Well, the fact that apparently this whole takerooni thing was taped answers your question. the camera keeps rolling. Just like can be seen on the WHAT? dvd on Austin, where they show several clips of him after the show ends. I don't recall details at the moment but it is him going to people in the crowd and cutting promos on them or something.

They showed some Austin post-show segments on Confidential. My favorite is when he's sprawled out on the floor and singing "Kumbaya".
We should start a petition to WWE to release some post-show outtakes... oh, wait. When was the last time WWE listened to us?
This man is a source of untapped comedy potential, and you know it!
The next time ROH will be in Detroit will be Wrestlemania weekend just like they did last year in Chicago. It will be two back to back shows on the Friday and Saturday before WM. I'll probably go to both and Wrestlemania (if I can get tix).
