I just watched CHIKARA's Scornucopia the other day and at the end of the first match they lift a kid from the audience into the ring and perform an improvised finish with him. He even gets the pin (well, he gets to join in a dogpile, at least). Sadly that moment doesn't seem to be on youtube. ... or, uh, at least I think it's improvised, but now that I think of it, given the nature of this sport...

If I recall correctly, Vince would always mention that it was on the Armed Forces Network when it was brought up. So maybe it was just for the army?

Scott Parker taking a kids ant mask and then remembering that he's a face now so he gives it back, one of the ice creams making a kid cry, the aforementioned ophidian-mask kid who one of the icecreams hid behind and was then later used for the finish and a kid in a los ice creams shirt being first acknowledged by one ice cream and then later on both ice creams trying to celebrate with him.

A bunch of fans mobbed him in western Canada, and he wound up punching some chick in the face. I think it was mid 2009.

A little late, but here's Cornette being awesome while explaining everything about the Brawl for All and why it was so terrible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_4icDCX3a4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSvsW386aCQ The Butterbean thing was about killing two birds with one stone. The WWF had signed Butterbean to 2 guaranteed PPV appearances. The first one was at the D-Generation X PPV in 12/97 in a worked match against Marc Mero. The 2nd one was of course with Bart Gunn at WM15. It probably wasn't as much trying to deliberately sabotage Bart Gunn (although they had to have known that he didn't have the professional training to stand up to Butterbean), as throwing up their hands and saying "Well, we got Bart Gunn over as a tough guy but there's nothing else we can do with him, and we've still got to give Butterbean another PPV payout, so put the two together and see what happens".

I think Vince would have taken full page ads out in the New York Times, paid for a giant advertising block on prime-time network television showing slow-mo replays.... and then he would have had Bart Gunn's kneecaps shattered.

Butterbean is a freak show boxer. No one would have cared long term if Bart Gunn knocked him out. Especially on a wrestling show where most people would assume it was just fake. If the proposes shoot fight between Brock and Lennox Lewis happened, that would be different. But Gunn and Butterbean? He'd get a pop, people would care a little bit and it would fade.

I can't remember Meltzer's description of it, but it seems like they thought this would be an easy money maker and a win, and Vince salivated over the idea. Then Lewis realized he would be taken down and beaten to death and backed out.

Yeah, Lewis was a guy who was good at keeping his opponents at arm's length and out-scoring them while they got frustrated. Lesnar would have probably waded straight in, dropped him to the ground and started pounding the poo poo out of him.

You know what, now that you mention it, I do remember hearing a local radio guy talking about the Razor/Shawn angle that led to the ladder match. "Who is the real Intercontinental champion?" Still seems really surreal that the dj on the local lovely classic rock station or whatever was talking about wrestling in 93 or 94.

Lone Goat posted:It's funny you say this because in his last UFC fight Brock Lesnar proved that he is not good at Being Punched. It is funny you say this because if you watched the fight he gets two takedowns on Cain. Cain has absurdly good defensive wrestling and gets right back up and then takes control. Lennox Lewis would not have any defensive wrestling. The first takedown would end it and come under any kind of power punch besides a possible uppercut.

I only watched a couple of his fights but I thought in every fight until his last one, he showed that he was REALLY good at being punched and not really giving a poo poo? Lewis was a really great boxer but I never had any sense that he was a powerhouse knockout guy, just very technically skilled and good at keeping his distance and making use of his height to flummox his opponents and outpoint them?

The last two really exposed him as being shy of being punched. In the fights before, I don't think anyone really hit him cleanly enough with a power shot to rattle him (everyone he had fought was either over the hill or not a particularly powerful/gifted standup puncher, the former being Randy Couture and the latter Frank Mir). In those two most recent fights, he shuts down almost immediately after being hit with power shots. In the Cain fight, he actually sort of hops backwards with his hands out in what I can only assume is a completely untrained response to being facepunched. Also:
