I remember when that fan jumped in the ring when Hogan did his infamous heel turn. Hall and Nash beat the shit out of him and he scurried out. It was so chaotic I kept waiting for the announcers to acknowledge what the hell that was about but they never did.

On Savage's DVD set there's a cage match at MSG against DiBiase and right at the end a fan CLIMBS TO THE TOP OF THE CAGE and starts trying to beat the shit out of Ted. Takes an OK-ish WWF cage match to this chaotic level that it becomes amazing, the crowd was hot as fuck.
 
This thread has me legit shooked.

What about New Jack beating the shit out of the underage kid in ECW?
 
I think what happened was Kurt was playing rough with some of the earlier Tough Enough contestants and Pruder said fuck it and legit applied a Kimura Lock on Angle and the refs noticed and did a fast count when his shoulders were down to end the match asap.

Kurt was playing up his wrestling background and told them to fight him and Puder put him in a lock. Kurt couldn't tap on live TV to the reality show person he was "training," so he was in agony because Puder would have broken his arm before he tapped, so the ref wisely put a stop to it.
 
one of my personal favourites, Great Sasuke vs Dirt Bike Kid:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBtTeNoSYro

"Dirtbike kid was booked to job to The Great Sasuke in the opening round, and threw a hissy fit. After his entrance, he unmasked himself in the middle of the ring, completely making GBS threads on the whole concept of the tournament, in the opening match. Dirtbike Kid was told that Sasuke's first spin-kick would be the finisher, but even though Sasuke is shooting on him, he no-sells it, and the referee stops the match to try and avoid Sasuke literally killing the guy."
 
Dirtbike Kid was the absolute worst, he's still a total mark for himself and claims the whole thing with Sasuke was just a misunderstanding - the Michinoku Pro office wanted him to wear a full mask, rather than the mouthguard dirtbike mask he would normally wear. He claims he thought they'd agreed to let him wear the full mask to the ring and then take it off to reveal his dirtbike mask underneath, when in fact they'd agreed to no such thing. Sasuke's obviously pissed as it was such an idiotic thing to do in a mask tournament anyway, but then it seems DBK botching his shitty offence is too much for Sasuke, who takes matters into his own hands. He apparently broke several of DBK's ribs with some of those kicks and the Kid was sent straight home the next day. Never did work Japan again, but remained a name in UK wrestling for a while, having some truly awful matches with Sabu that I'm sure made it to one of the recent botchamanias, iirc.
 
From the list I'd say Jeff Hardy was #1.

Other omissions: Mass Transit, Owen Hart, Booker T's golden promo, Perry Saturn destroying the kid on Heat.

I almost wrote SEGA Saturn.
 
Akira Maeda vs. Andre The Giant



http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-maeda-history-of-pro-wrestling-shoots-part-2

This was a really awkward match. Maeda leg kicks the hell out of Andre after getting cranked around on the mat. Andre tries to act like the kicks don't phase him, but you can tell by the time Inoki runs out to stop the match that they're taking their toll. Dude can barely walk.

Andre showed up really drunk. At one point during the match Maeda turned to Inoki and asked him if he wanted him to finish it (meaning end Andres career permanently) and Inoki told him no. Andre was a badass but Maeda was on a different level.

Wait, no mention to the Montreal Screwjob? I mean, it was scripted, but not to the knowledge of a few relevant parties...
 
In 1999, Butterbean was like 50-1

Calling him mediocre is pretty lazy research.

Those wins were over other tough men fighters and semi-pros, not real boxers.

For perspective, 53 year old Larry Holmes easily out boxed and won a unanimous decision against the Bean.
 
How is Brawl 4 All number 1? That shit was better than modern MMA. Bart Gunn would legit kill any current UFC heavyweight except for maybe El Gran Campeon Mexicano Cain Velasquez.
 
Savage was great for knocking fan's dicks into the dirt when they hit the ring. Happened numerous times in WCW and was lovely every time.
 
The best part is after he came back, he was made the top face and totally derailed the push of someone who was way hotter and better in Austin Aries just because "ex WWE!" stuff that TNA loves to do. His whole thing after that was "one more chance" even though he had fucked over both WWE and TNA multiple times each with his drug issues and was given another chance every time.

The funniest part was the guy behind the scenes doing the dub voice for the Shockmaster did not know he tripped & kept talking as if he made his entrance normally.
 
the choke slam through the cage (nobody knew it would break) everything else was planned including throwing mankin off the cage

It was planned to throw him off the cage, but I think it landed badly or something because Mick got pretty badly injured there. I can't believe he still tried to do the rest of the match though.
 
This is funny to watch. What's the background for HBK acting like that? Looked like HBK didn't give any fucks.

HBK was one of the greatest douchebags in wrestling history towards people he didn't care for in the ring. I think the only person he wouldn't cross was the undertaker. Story was HBK didn't want to lost to Austin and Taker came up to him and say yeah you are.

Everyone involved has denied that story. HBK had no problem losing to Austin. He was pissed about how it meant that the company would be moving on without him, but there was never a time where he wasn't going to put Austin over.

I think Hogan was unwilling to let their series to tie at 1 -1 or wouldn't let hbk win clean or some bullshit.

So hbk pretty much oversold everything to levels not seen since the fingerpoke of doom.

Wait didn't he admit it in his latest dvd?

Story is that Hogan wanted to win once, and not lose to HBK once (so the match total would be 1-0 Hogan), only making Hogan look good, so HBK decided that if they were going to only have one match, he'd oversell the shit out of everything. At least, that's what they say.
