Jericho and Malenko have discussed Batista's fine. Vince planned to fine everyone: Batista and Jericho, the ref, and Malenko (producer of the match). Batista told them it was his idea and he'd pay for everyone which is why it was 100K

I still don't know why the ref got fined for that. It's not like Jericho and Batista were telling him "hey, Dave's gonna blade, just look the other way."

No, Batista's fine was 100k because Batista ALONE was fined 100k. Jericho, the ref and Malenko were each fined $5000.00 which Batista decided to also pay so Batista ended up paying 115k and THAT is how the story goes.

Vince turned to Jericho, after giving Batista the devastating 100 G Backhand Slap of a fine, got in his face and said "And you... $5,000!", which caused Jericho to laugh a bit, but shut up immediately. The Ref and the producer of the match also got hit with $5,000 grand too. Batista did pay for everyone's fine.

My respect for John Cena just went up. That was really decent of him to pay that fine, when he totally did not have to.

I was at a house show for WWE in 2017. The opening match was Tye Dillinger (Now Shawn Spears) vs. Aiden English, wherein some drunk dumbass started chanting "USA!" leading to Dillinger playing up the Captain America gimmick while Aiden English angrily shouted at the crowd "I'm American!!!" The best part is that Dillinger is from Canada. The same house show also featured Big E twerking on a ref before the match and also shouting "I'm goin' up!" while going up to the top rope several times. Was a whole lot of fun.

Walter v. Tyler Bate - NXT UK Takeover Cardiff

I still agree with Vince pushing O’Neal, but the firing turned suspension turned fine is overboard

Bret Hart said in an interview that in his match against Piper, he made it a point of putting hit hands close to his forehead every time he was selling on the mat. It made it impossible to tell when he actually bladed, so they believed him when he said it was hardway

Part of the Michaels segment that wasn't televised was him calling out Undertaker to the ring, knowing that Taker wasn't in the building that night and basically punking out Taker in front of a live crowd. If the fine was indeed 50k I'd be willing to bet that stunt played a role.

I was at the show where Brad Maddox cursed out the crowd and got fired, fun times. Yep, that's my dark match story.

Adam’s talent is immeasurable, he makes you want to sit and listen through the sponsorship promotions

Fun fact, after Lars Sullivan was suspended before being fully released my grandad rode in an uber driven by Lars.

The scene is live show In Milwaukee, At the time, Mr. MITB Big E vs Seth (not yet "Freakin") Rollins. In the first minute or so of the match, E and Rollins got into a "Battle of the Splits", which E did perfectly, but Rollins sold his failed attempt like he just ruptured his Sack. In the same match, There was an attempt to clothesline Big e, but in comical fashion, he didn't fall over after "Wobbling" for some time. God, I love wrestling!

I'd have to imagine $250,000 or hell even $650,000 to Austin at that time would be like 3%-5% just from his merchandise sales alone lol

I, personally laughed hysterically at 4:41-5:45. In fairness, Jerry Saggs probably didn't even know that Miss Elizabeth was even behind him & when all was said & done, he was probably like "Oh, shoot!..." & tried to apologize.

Can we all agree WWE gets away with way more than a normal company would get away with in terms of the way it treats its employees!??

So this one time in a house show it was Edge and Christian vs Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart. Owen and Edge were doing a bounce off the ropes drop down back and forth. So Owen is bouncing off the ropes and keeps bouncing over and over yelling to Jeff he can’t stop. Eventually Edge pulls down the rope as Owen is bouncing and Owen tumbles over the rope and runs to Jeff crying that he hurt his butt.

Dark "match" story: My cousin went to the Raw when Rollins tripped over the barricade making his entrance. Apparently after the show went off the air The Shield and CM Punk spent 10 minutes just going into the crowd and leaping over it (along with some other shenanigans) to laugh at Seth before CM Punk got on the mic and said "You've all stayed after the shows gone off the air just to watch us have fun. Thank you, it genuinely means a lot." The only nice thing he's ever said.

I was at a house show with a tag match featuring Dana Brooke, and my friends used to make fun of her accent whenever she'd say "playtime is OVER" So we got a "playtime's over" chant started in my section and she corpsed waiting for a tag early on into the match The same house show was a four-way for the US title, held by Kalisto at the time, with Rusev, Cesaro, and Sami Zayn. My friend got a USA chant started, and Lana takes the mic and addresses it by saying "There is no American to this STUPID match" oh and Bray Wyatt got hit with a Kendo stick on the hand, got it looked at, and yelled at the audience on hot mic for booing

Y’all think this fine money went into Vinces $15 Mil???

I was at a house show in Augusta, Maine, Eddie Guerrero & Tajiri were defending their tag titles in a triple threat tag against Sean O'Haire & A-Train and Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin, before the match, Eddie grabbed the mic and addressed the crowed asking what we thought of the other teams, to which we all said they suck. He then turned to Tajiri and asked him what he thought, Tajiri, pointed to Haas & Benjamin and said 'you suck' and then said to A-Train 'you suck more' then to Sean and said 'you bad at sucking'. The crowd was pissing themselves laughing so bad the teams couldn't start their spots because they felt that everyone was going to miss the match

Can you maybe do a video or series of videos about things the Referees did? Refereeing is something I aspire to do myself.

That Shawn Michaels 10k fine is absolutely hilarious

That quite a "slap of the wrist" for Austin. Except the slap is actually a buzzsaw going through the wrist and selling the hand on the black market.

10 best wrestling moments that happened after the cameras turned off

Three Dark match moments come to mind. 2014: An impromptu battle Royal feature Michael Cole (basically John Cena amd Dolph Ziggler beating up Michael Cole and J&J Security) 2016: six man tag which consisted of like 60% eye poking 2017: Seth Rollins putting on Kalisto’s shoulder pads and leading the Lucha Chant

The next Top 10 video could be of On-screen Fines in past Storylines (i.e, Young Bucks super kicking referees and throwing thousands of dollars at Tony Khan, or Chris Jericho demanding payment for his damaged Jacket or Scarf).

#5: Happened in my town, BTW. I had no idea Raw ever emanated from Muncie, IN! Thanks PFK, I would have never known.

These large fines are honestly insane especially when Vince considered them all "independent contractors"

Wrestlers don’t make as much as people think

Having listened to Rene Duprees podcast and excerpts from Hollys book, it was about either 1 $15 parking ticket, or multiple parking tickets and some sort of a loss of license in Washington or so... depends on which person you want to believe in, also apparently the beating went on to backstage where Holly kept kicking Dupree and having to be pulled back by Kurt Angle... or RVD or Big Show depending on where you get your story.

I saw a house show in Salt Lake a few years ago where after Dolph Ziggler lost to Kofi, in dramatic fashion the ref had to carry him backstage while Zig was dangling “lifeless”. It was brilliant. I’ll miss that dude.

That Saggs story should be number one. I just can't help but see Elizabeth's hair moving.😂😂

Johnny Gargano performed a people's elbow on cameron grimes hat during a commercial break

While not a "fine", you gotta think RVD lost a lot of money being stripped of the titles. He BLEW IT! And then puffed it. And passed to Sabu. But he was the face at that moment. Damn.

At a house show here in my city one time, it was Kane versus Test. At one point Kane was in the corner and Test was pounding on him. Then all of a sudden Test took about five steps back and just started laughing hysterically. Nobody heard what was said, but whatever it was Test sure found it funny. Most of the audience started laughing along with him, even though we have no idea what got him laughing 😄

WWE needs to release the infamous “I’m a Mitch Bennett guy” shirt

Okay Story Time: I was at the August 18th 2005 edition of SmackDown (before SummerSlam) with my brother and my dad. After SmackDown stopped rolling, the dark match was JBL vs Batista in, as Teddy Long would describe it, a “Toronto Street Fight” lasted a good few minutes then Orlando Jordan came out, followed by Undertaker and it was then changed to….a TAG TEAM MATCH. Batista and Taker won. After the match, it was revealed that it was Tony Chimel’s birthday…so Batista gave him a stink face for his trouble.

House show 2 weeks ago im SC. Main event was drew and the street profits against usos and Seamus in a north charleston street fight. Chairs, tables, steps, brwal into the audience right in front of us! Funnest match to never be seen on TV lol

8:13 This Raw episode from Muncie was taped actually and the Shawn Michaels leaping bit was also cut from the USA Network broadcast. If it wasn't for them using it for stuff like the 97-98 DX titantron and some of the home videos afterwards, not many would have seen it. Same goes for Shawn doing the "Suck It" gesture in the ring at the Friday Night's Main Event taping in Chicago the month before as that too was cut from the USA broadcast.

Damn Cena, you aren't supposed to pay that fine (or anyone even Styles and others actually), but you do have a great heart. Vince really hates creative freedom, glad he's gone.

So with Extreme Rules approaching I have two two suggestions: one video where you rank the Ten Best/Worst Extreme Rules PPVs and another where you rank the Ten Best/Worst Extreme Rules Matches.

Chris Jericho, The referee and the agent in charge of the Batista match were all fined around $5,000-$10,000 each, which Batista also paid

I've given it some thought and I now know why Vince was fining hard so years. Think of all the money he was paying out to keep many women quite about him.

I was at a house show once and mark Henry legitimately got out a Michael Jackson glove, and danced with kids in the ring it was amazing

Video idea: Wrestling's best dark matches

I bet just adding Adam’s face to the thumbnail would’ve boosted this videos number of watches

One time at a Smackdown taping in London in 2012 (the show that had Daniel Bryan break up with AJ Lee, and also 9 year old me was far too comfortable with sitting through a game show NXT and Superstars episode beforehand) during the dark match, a 6 man tag between Orton, Sheamus and Big Show and Kane, Henry and Rhodes, during the match Cody ran into the crowd and as everyone was walking out from the show Cody was running around the lobby of the O2

This list singlehandedly proves why wrestlers need a union. (Let alone all the other reasons)

A wwe show in Anaheim… maybe 2006? Eddie & SOMEONE (I think it was Batista but I can’t be sure) had a match to close the show. But then Randy came out 8 demanded a triple threat for … I think both of their titles? Like, it might have been a champ vs champ match? Anyway, the match was hilarious cuz they kept putting Randy into “you’ve knocked me loopy” situations. And in between, Eddie would keep trying to roll up or chair shot the other champ. Then get caught & apologize… and then clobber Randy instead. I think they co-pinned Randy at the end. I’m pretty sure this is the same night of Goldusts’s return that year.
