Wrestling Moments

This can also apply to when you were a mark and cried when Savage got the snakebite.

 

I pitied Spike Dudley when he took the Bon Soir of Doom (smacked his head off the table).

 

I also felt sorry for Dean Malenko during his final ECW promo. He never talks for two years and when he does, his tag line is "Stay cool, everybody"? Sad.

I too felt sorry and fearful for Spike in his match versus Mike Awesome.

 

The WCW show where Buff had his neck broken and Big Scott Norton was standing there crying was definitely freaky.

 

When Steph and Shane made that crack about classy Freddie Blassy about to be dead, I really felt sorry for him.

 

Innumerable times I have felt sorry for Flair when he was treated like shit.

 

For Tommy Dreamer when he had to crawl to the back after a match because his back was so fucked. And then when he had to do that horrid Tom Green character.

(Yeah way to go WWE. All he was was a mediocre wrestler who busted his ass every da he wrestled, and loved the business. Speaking of, the same for DDP in WWE.)

I actually felt sorry for a fan.

 

On the Eddie DVD, check out the post-match promo from Malenko VS Guerrero. When they're both done talking, they walk around ringside shaking hands and giving out hugs. At one point, Eddie reaches a quite ugly and overweight individual; who wants nothing more than some lovin' from his favorite wrestler. Eddie goes to give the hug, but catches a good view of the fan and quickly switches to a "Heyyyyy, you're all right!" handshake.

 

Now, I know we're all pretty on the inside, but this fan definitely was NOT pretty on the outside. But still, must be pretty devastating to have a wrestler you admire do that to you.

Steve Austin at Backlash 2000; there'a a moment where he's throwing chairshots and he starts to lose his balance. With both hands holding onto the chair, he tries to steady himself to stand back up. Thing is, it takes him a second or two to do so and you can hear the crowd quiet down just a bit. For that one second, the world saw just how physically weak Austin still was.

When Molly had to do guest commentary on RAW once in the Summer of 2002 I think, Lawler just kept bugging her with his stupid sexual remarks, and she sounded like she was uncomfortable being out there.

Juvi fucked up a move on Nitro one time, then pounded the mat In frustration after his mistake. It wasn't anything big, but I still felt bad for him for some reason. :(

I felt bad for Triple H having to job to the Ultimate Warrior (and have the Pedigree no-sold) in such a short amount of time.

 

I felt bad for Brian Pillman when Austin "Pillmanized" him.

 

I felt bad for Bret Hart when Austin "Pillmanized" him.

 

I felt bad for Shawn when he "lost his smile" (I was a dumb mark).

Yeah, that dude was mentally handicapped. Foley's nicer to him during his goodbye speech, he gives him his Cactus shirt.

when Hayabusa broke his neck, I cringed and knew the moment he stepped on the ropes that something was going to happen. Me and my friends just stayed quiet for like 5 mins after that.

I'd be more likely to feel bad for THEM than bad for him.

 

I'm sure he was well aware that it was all part of the show, and it didn't take a genius to see that he was closer to the end of his life than the beginning.

Trish losing her dignity while barking like a dog is the best case I can remember of me feeling sorry for someone being humiliated to stroke Vince's ego.

When the TLC finish from Wrestlemania X7 was flubbed due to the ladder falling over and Jeff pounding the mat, it would have been such a cool finish, and well put together

I really felt bad for Bret at SS 1997

 

The Anvil on that Raw when he thought he joined DX, and they turned on him. Same with Big Bossman when he thought he joined the nWo

 

Mick Foley after the KOTR 1998

 

Marty Jannety when Shawn threw him through the glass window

 

Earthquake killed damien

 

Bossman again when Nailz fuucked him up.

 

Dusty Rhodes when the Road Warriors were fuucking up his face with the spikes

When I was watching it and Steph said that Freddie was going to die soon. I thought she meant they were going to kill him. I was thinking "What? Are they going to kill him by pushing his wheelchair of a cliff or something?"

Undertaker and Sara burying (figuratively) DDP by making him job in every single encounter.

 

Foley losing the retirement match at No Way Out 2000.

 

Sasuke botching the springboard rana finish in his match against Lyger at J-Cup 1994.

 

Come to think of it, any time a hard-working wrestler seriously botches a move. Just reading about Lesnar's vertical SSP at Mania XIX made me feel sorry for the guy.

 

Finding out that the Big Bossman had passed away.

 

In general, the way most cruiserweights and indy wrestlers are treated by the WWE.

 

(I guess Owen dying is too obvious for anyone to mention.)

The one that stands out, Jimmy Jacobs at TPI 2004 (Night One). He had a big spot obviously lined up and climbed the ladder in the ring, which wasn't exactly sturdy being IWA, looking for a back senton through a table to the floor on Deranged. And just at the wrong moment, he stumbles and falls head-first down. Luckily he lands across the ropes, rather than head-first on the apron or the floor. But still,

 

Uhm...actually, Jimmy Jacobs in general. Almost every other IWA show I've got on tape he seems to make an unlucky mistake and screw himself up something bad.

 

 

Also...

 

Eddie popping out his elbow on his first Smackdown appearance.

 

Rico at SS 2002. GOD-DAMN IT JEFF!

 

Pretty much all of Saturn's run with Moppy.

 

Anyone who takes the Airplane Spin from Bryan Danielson.

I also felt sorry for Taz for the way his WWE run turned out. He deserved much better. :angry:

I felt sorry for Owen when he flubbed his line at Royal Rumble 1994.

Ditto for when he cut his heel victory promo at WMX with a massive gob of saliva on his face.
