WCW Uncensored 95. Hogan vs Vader, Strap Match. A "retired" Flair dressed in drag, no I'm not joking, interferes on Vader's behalf and Hogan drags, no pun intended, Flair to all 4 corners and is declared the winner. I was 14 at the time and absolutely hated Hogan. Still do to this day. I was a huge Vader fan and I was absolutely livid watching this bullshit at home. I'll do you one better better and from the same show no no less. Randy Savage beats Avalanche by disqualification. In a no disqualification match. I always hated that manager interferes on heels behalf and gets pinned by face with the referee inexplicably counting. It was just so damn stupid and made absolutely no sense. If you don't want the heel to do a job then just do a DQ or a count out like you would normally do.

Wow, 3 pages in and my "favourite" hasn't been mentioned. Nash v Sid in a powerbomb match, as in, to win you have to powerbomb the other. Ref gets knocked out, when he comes to, Sid's out, Nash said he'd done it, and wins. Announcers in all promotions: "The ref can't call what he doesn't see!" WCW: Ref calls what he doesn't see.

Ref gets knocked out, when he comes to, Sid's out, Nash said he'd done it, and wins. I have the damnedest memory around this time of there being a handicap match involving Nash where you didn't have to cover your opponent for a pin, simply knocking them down sufficed to get the ref to count the fall. I cannot, for the life of me, find any evidence to substantiate this memory. That would be the previously mentioned Nash vs New Blood gauntlet match. A true head-scratcher even by WCW 2000 levels. A shirtless Vince Russo cuts a promo before the match covered in fake blood. Nash makes a bunch of guys look like complete geeks, beating them instantly with simple moves. He pins Disco with his regular sidewalk slam and pins Mysterio with a big boot. I guess Nash was too lazy to continue bending down and covering a dozen different guys so the ref starts counting to 3 when the guys are down even when Nash isn't pinning them. The announcers are even more confused than they normally were during this Russo era. Goldberg runs in at the end to save Nash before Eric Bischoff (who won the Hardcore title from Terry Funk earlier that night) suspends him then at the PPV that weekend they turn Goldberg heel and we know how well that went. And they obviously considered the Nash/New Blood gauntlet a success because they booked another one the next night on Thunder with Scott Steiner. I think that's what produced this classic gif: ![https://i.imgur.com/afseByC.gif](https://i.imgur.com/afseByC.gif)

Goldberg wrestled Booker T on Nitro with the World Title on the line. Goldberg had Booker dead to rights in an armbar so Stevie Ray threw in the towel. But they ruled that since Booker didn't quit, he kept the title despite losing the match. Which begs a lot of questions but most importantly, why did they stop the match if it wouldn't result in a title change? That just screws Goldberg over (who was the heel mind you).

Test losing a title match where he was the challenger by getting himself counted out. (Yes it was the ECW title, but still)

Bret Hart retains the WCW heavyweight title when Roddy Piper comes in to protect Goldberg from an nWo beatdown and the ref inexplicably does a 3 count for a man who isn't even in the match. When was this? God help me; I'd like to see it.

From what I understand Piper missed his queue and it caused the whole segment to devolve into a farce

Ref gets knocked out, when he comes to, Sid's out, Nash said he'd done it, and wins. This actually fails to mention the best part. What actually caused Sid to go out was interference from Jeff Jarrett. So not only did the ref take Nash's word that he Powerbombed Sid, he did so with guitar shrapnel everywhere in the ring. When was this? God help me; I'd like to see it. It was during Bret Hart's WCW title reign when he was leading the nWo. From what I understand Piper missed his queue and it caused the whole segment to devolve into a farce It was Bret vs. Goldberg, where it was revealed that Bret was leading the new nWo. Piper was supposed to protect Goldberg, and was given orders to stay on top of Goldberg no matter what after the match. However, Piper actually went out early before his cue, and ended up on top of Goldberg before Bret could pin Goldberg and win the match. This leads to Bret having to lay on top of Piper in order to pin Goldberg at the bottom of the pile, which obviously should never count as a pin, and in fact Piper is actually sabotaging Goldberg at this point by doubling the amount of weight on the pin.

From what I understand Piper missed his queue and it caused the whole segment to devolve into a farce It really made no sense. So Bret beats Goldberg to retain the title the previous night in a face/face match where Roddy screws Goldberg by calling for the bell ala the Montreal Screwjob. Bret is upset the next night with how it went down and then vacates the title to face Goldberg later that night for it. Then the nWo reforms during the match and attack Goldberg. Piper comes out to defend Goldberg by covering him and refuses to get off him. The ref for this match who was knocked out earlier comes to and counts the pin with Piper still on top of Goldberg to give Bret the win and the title he vacated earlier that night. There's a lot involving the Powers That Be here that also doesn't make sense so I won't get into that.

Yeah, yeah, Ryback, dropkick, of course. Speaking of Ryback though, how about that time he and Cena went to a draw in a Last Man Standing match despite the fact Ryback was standing and Cena wasn't? How don't I remember this? Was right after Ryback's heel turn. Basically Ryback tackled Cena through the tron and the referee kind of fretted about for a bit, then he went around to them and called it a no contest without bothering to count even though Ryback walked off under his own power while Cena had to be helped up.

Wasn’t there some match at the New Blood Rising PPV in Vancouver where they booked traditional heel Jacques Rougeau to be the guest referee instead of the obvious fan choice Bret Hart? Then the actual match was heel Canadian fan favourite Lance Storm defending whatever title he had against Mike Awesome? Mike goes on to beat Storm three different times and Jacques nullifies the victories by changing the rules of the match as it goes along and then cheats on Storm’s behalf to help him retain his championship. And THEN Bret comes out to raise Lance’s hand in victory?
This was also the same show where they booked Goldberg to refuse to follow the script and lose his triple threat match and praise Scott Steiner for jobbing to Kevin Nash, I might add.

Apparently the people in WCW were unaware that Canada is Bizarro land. It's hilarious watching the obviously heel Lance Storm and Jacques Rougeau get cheered the more and more they act like heels.

Although, it was probably smart that they distanced Bret from the overt cheating in the match, opting for him putting over Storm in the end. Then again, WCW Bret Hart would have probably done the same shit anyway, considering how much nWo nonsense he was involved in.

Oh, I just remembered one. Does anyone remember the first match on the first TNA Impact of Monday Night Wars 2.0? It was a multi-man steel cage/dome match that ended in a no-contest, then Homicide still tried to win but couldn't actually maneuver himself out of the dome - we all just had to watch him struggled like the limpest dick until he gave up and fell back to that mat. Also, Jeff Hardy redebuted here for some reason to run Homicide off after the match.

The Royal Rumble 2015
Pretty normal match... then they eliminated Bryan. Then the crowd knew what was coming... and they REJECTED it.
It wasn't just the way it happened but they also had Big Show and Kane dump all the more interesting at the time options other than Roman out the match. Dean Ambrose? F*** you he ain't winning. Neither is Ziggler!
Roman won... eliminated Rusev in a fakeout just to piss off the crowd further... Rock tried to put him over and failed and notably noticed how much the crowd was shitting on the result. And the Roman spite-push began...

Disco Inferno beat ? after hitting him with a disco ball. I remember him beating someone by hitting them with a (hollow) plastic goose (called the Disco Duck.) At one of the Fanfest shows, Dustin Rhodes faced Tully Blanchard (with JJ Dillon AND Baby Doll). The finish saw JJ enter the ring to interfere, Baby Doll yell, "No, JJ, no!," before anything happened, and Dustin catch JJ in a small package for the pin.

Escape the cage? What? Turns out they try both. They escape, but remember they have to pin someone (Ric Flair of course), then escape.
