Also, i didn't think that Vader's clothesline was nothing out of the ordinary stiff for him, and Shamrock easily rolled with it. Shamrock however, clearly zoned in on Vader's nose with his elbow.

From what I understand, Angle was the one who challenged one of them to a legit wrestling match and Vince had no idea Angle would do that, which implied Angle started the shoot by even setting the open challenge. If so, he obviously did it to make himself look good in front of the rookies and Puder recognized that and decided to not be pushed around by a veteran. It was an ego thing. Angle has literally gone on record to say that he wasn’t a great dude during this time period cuz of his demons and drug abuse. This was probably a direct cause from all of it. Not taking any shots at Kurt, he’s one of the best. But the Puder/Angle situation is on both of them.

To make matter worse, WWE then "punished" Puder by having him take brutal chops, without resisting, from Eddie Guerrero and i think Benoit, as if having a rookie guy take shots while telling him not to fight back makes him look bad, when everybody knows wrestling is a work.

Scumbag Ahmed was dangerous and was told so, but didn't care. Then put Ron on the shelf when he was just arriving in WWE as "Farrooq Asad" with the silly hat. He got the receipt ready for Ahmed alright. Ahmed got injured by Ron, then got fat and slow, and finally just faded into irrelevancy. So irrelevant in fact that he became a pimp. Yes, a real pimp. EDIT: The pimp thing turned out to be false, it was another Tony Norris (Ahmed's real name) that was the pimp.

I remember hearing Regal saying in an interview that during his match with Goldberg, he quickly realised Goldberg couldn't actually wrestle, so he did what ever he could to salvage the match and draw it out until it's predetermined time.

I believe that because Daniel Puder was shooting on Kurt Angle, he was punished during the 2005 Royal Rumble. He got a lot of very stiff chops from Benoit, Guerrero, and (gasp!) Hardcore Holly during his brief stay in the ring.

He didn't "shoot" on Angle. He responded to Angle shooting on him because Angle had already shot on some of the other guys and wanted the "real" thing. All of this has long been known.

Management suspended Luna (I believe that was her second suspension) after that match.

Antonio Inoki had 2: the one in 1976 with Akrama Pahalwan where he broke his arm and the one in 1977 with The Great Antonio where The Great Antonio was no selling and working stiff so Inoki started shoot punching and kicking the guy until he collapsed then started stomping his head

3:50 I remember that match. Brock has to deal with wrestlers that envy him and think he’s a villain in real life

Imagine intentionally tryna piss off either Vader or Lesnar, lol.

RIP to Mike Bell. The documentary on him and his family is great if anyone is interested. It's free on KZread movies. It's about him and his brothers and their struggle with steroids. Again, great doc.

Lesnar nearly rupturing dude's spleen and then lining his head up for that wicked punch is the greatest non-verbal "chill out" I've ever seen. I genuinely believe Lesnar could have hit him harder and ended the match right there.

That Angle/Puder thing was Angle fucking around and a really close call to finding out.

Amazing clip, excellent commentary ;-)

I met William Regal a bunch of times he's a super nice guy he was always smiling always well behaved. I've heard a lot of stories that Goldberg was not very cool when he first started. Regal is a real badass. He's a real wrestler and fighter he's not just a pretty face and a storyline.

Not sure if it’s on here but teddy hart vs zandig was the most brutal one I’ve seen. Teddy pissed zandig off saying he’d get more over than him without using weapons then at one point zandig lays down a board of nails and drops teddy on it on the back of his head, totally split him open and he needed a ton of staples that’s what his head scars from, honestly would likely get demonetized if you added that though

That knee to Brock Lesnar woke the MMA fighter inside him lol.
