Didn’t a motherf***er try to murder a referee with a railroad spike last year? Anything ever come of that? The wrestler was Hannibal... same guy who accused Abdullah of giving him hepatitis. Pretty sure no one wants to book him anymore. Uh Hannibal was totally justified suing Abdullah for this however much of a garbage sack he is otherwise

I think the guy who went viral for breaking bath legs was pretty embarrassed I don't know how that turned out, but I know at one point he was looking at a double amputation. Embarrassment was probably the least of his issues. And the worst part is the YouTube comments had me in stitches. “What about the rest of her match, did he win?” “It’s a handicap match now.” “Known for his finisher, the double knee buster. But he’s only ever used it on himself.” “His legs did a 2K20 glitch.”!

Nikolai Volkoff and Bobby Fulton face off in a wrestling match... with no ring. Honestly if there weren't video evidence, I would assume this was a fake story, because it seems such a stereotypically low rent indy wrestling debacle that there's no way it would be true. That both guys are trying to be professional and work around the lack of a ring almost makes things worse because it underscores just how amateur the actual fed was. This video makes me actually embarrassed. No ring, the ref dressed like a fan, less attendance than a middle school jazz band concert. If I had bought a ticket for a wrestling show and walked in and saw that, I would turn around and leave. I wouldn’t be able to watch. Too cringe. I also appreciate that this is taped with the same camcorder that my Dad used to tape Christmas with in the 80s.

I'll throw a story in, a promotion I used to wrestle for had a show in a promoter's hometown. It initially was supposed to be what he called "a house show", a small card out of some hangar which the promoter was planning to run on weekly basis, as opposed to usual monthly shows. So we (the wrestlers) show up and there is no one in the audience. We wait for a couple of hours, the show's supposed to begin already, still no audience. I was contemplating to say "screw it" and go home but eventually a couple of kids and a pair of drunks wandered in, so we ran a show with more people on the card than in the audience. Turned out the promoter never advertised said show. I don't mean he didn't invest in advertising, he literally never told a living soul he was running a wrestling show, so nobody turned out.

The line between embarrassing and hilarious is a very thin one. Seriously. I want to see the same thing happen to Austin Aries.

I saw Chris Dickinson beat the crap out of Jimmy Lloyd for some reason at a GCW show. There weren't any cameras either and Lloyd had a shiner afterwards. Considering what came out about him later I can see how it might be true

I know I'm supposed to hate no selling like that...but I always think its stupidly impressive someone can do that and just get up like normal
It's like no selling superplex's, I know they're supposed to act dead, but taking one would literally kill me so it's impressive its nothing to some people
My moment isn't quite up there with some of these, but I was at a show where they had a pre-taped "live" promo, where a champion threatened the new number one contender
Problem was they started playing it before the number one contender match and the promoter had to run out yo try and switch it off
Was a family-friendly/casual audience so obviously the match was greeted with confused silence and embarrassment rather than mocking chants or whatever. And the wrestlers had to fight despite the winning already being revealed infront of hundreds of people whose suspension of belief has been broken
Funnily, they then played the "live promo" after, again to silent cringe

The character Lio was like an Undertaker like gimmick and him and Janela engaged in a blood feud that lasted for years. So I can see what they were going for but hated the execution of ig.

These guys just run stuff in their mom's backyard. And it looks like they have some loose affiliation with IPW Philly. If you really want to know, I can send your their IG account in DM. I only know of these guys because well, it IS Delaware after all. gotcha, I’m guessing they are based south of Dover? No, pretty sure they are in the Newark area as that's where I know them from.

Thought that this was proven to be a work and no actual finger was lost... like how Rey lost his eye.

Reminds me of ECW Shane Douglas when he would use 12 different weapons featuring fire and glass and only get 2 counts, but then wins with a fisherman's suplex

To his credit, the guy who did this admitted it was stupid, but I still don't get why indy guys do this stuff. No one is going to sign you for doing a stunt at a show with 45 people at it.
