incident between Masters and Taker during house sh

There was an incident involving Undertaker and Chris Masters during a Taker & Kane vs. Finlay & Masters match last week at a house show in Scotland.

It all started when Taker started working over Masters' arm early in the match. Masters tagged out and just stood there on the apron without selling the pain. On the other side of the ring, Taker was gesturing to Masters as if to say, "Sell your arm, dumbass." Masters still wasn't doing anything, and then Taker actually yelled it across the ring. Masters sold a bit and then apparently forgot again.

Masters was tagged back into the match, and apparently Undertaker roughed him up, blooding and perhaps breaking his nose. Masters then started having trouble breathing and got completely blown up. He finally rolled out of the ring and sold like he'd hurt his arm legit. As it turns out, Masters actually dislocated his elbow at some point.

Some guys came out and took Masters to the back. Finlay finished the rest of the match alone. That was the last time Masters wrestled on the tour. Also, a photo of Masters wearing a sling on his arm turned up online, so his injury was serious.



I can't wait for people to jump to Taker's defence, when we all know if this were JBL or Holly pulling this stuff, everyone would be insulting them for being bullies and jerks.

Christ, Taker needs to calm down. A couple of stiff chops would've sent the signal to Masters, but he didn't need to take it that far. That reports make it look really malicious on Taker's part. Not something a locker room leader should be doing.

Well, in all fairness, this IS wrestling. And one of the biggest elements is selling. Masters was making Taker look stupid by no-selling. It's a blatant sign of disrespect, especially towards someone who's been with the company for almost 20 years.

Well done Undertaker. He had every right to do this seen as Masters was no selling such a vet.

Ok, there you go, that was the reaction you asked for.

In all seriousness, if Undertaker actually dislocated his arm, i find that funny, but a bit over the top.

A bloody nose, meh, a dislocated arm, not really needed.

[Johnny Danger (Godz)]

Hooray for Taker. Masters sucks, and he never got his receipt for smashing Stevie's nose in his debut.

That doesn't give you the right to beat someone up so bad that they have problems breathing. As I said, a couple of stiff chops would've sent the signal but Taker took it too far. I guess the OP was right about people taking Taker's side on this.

THIS ISN'T BALLET

Nope. A wrestler should never intentionally hurt their opponent, unless it's self-defense. The first rule in wrestling is to protect yourself and the guy you're working with.

[Kenny Brockelstein]

WWE would like to wish Chris Masters well in his future endeavours...

[Push R Truth]

I agree that if anybody but Taker did it, there would be an uproar.



Just because people don't like Masters, most people will "forget" this ever happened.




I, on the other hand, will remain a BEACON OF TRUTH and spread the word of this outrage against our Sombrero-ed Friend!

Over the top on 'Taker's part. The yelling and a couple of stiff chops would have sufficed.

[Turd Ferguson]

Masters is a goof anyway. Not saying he deserved it, but it's the same with any job, except you can get yourself beat up for real.

If you and a coworker are working together and they don't do their job properly. They wind up making you look like a fool. This is exactly what happened. Taker is booked to look strong, with a title match (and probably a title win) at the end of the month.

The last thing he needs is some hack making him look like a chump.

Agreed.

I can see why 'Taker was upset (selling is something that NEEDS to be done to make a match believable), but there is no way he should've done that to Masters.

Be a damn professional.

So it is ok for Undertaker to beat up inexperienced wrestlers yet Holly is considered a felon for doing the same?

[Christianv2]

Very unlike Undertaker, he should have just told him and if he didn't just have a talk with him after the match, which is what I would expect taker to do, but guess he had a bad day and went too far. Both guys were in the wrong i suppose but Taker was a bit more wrong.

Yeah, it was very unprofessional on 'Taker's part. But Vince and the WWE have shown in the past that if you're a big name in the company, you can pretty much get away with anything. And they don't come much bigger than 'Taker.

Not in my eyes, it's just that Holly is a more frequent offender than 'Taker. Taker was in the right, if incredibly unprofessional, but this is the first time in a LOOOONG time I've heard of him doing this.

[Just Jay]

Wait WTF? Taker brutalized Masters and people are still defending him?

What happened with the whole Hardcore Holly issue?

I'm confused!

[#RUDO]

Taker getting annoyed is understandable. Taker purposefully injuring another wrestler, is disgraceful. He's a bully because he knows he won't be reprimanded.

No-selling a veteran is stupid, a veteran behaving like an asshole is unforgivable. Both behaved unprofessionally, but only one of them suffered. The irony here is Masters will probably be released because he has a bad attitude.
