Unprofessional in the ring

By Scott Keith on August 7, 2012


Scott –

After reading about the Hogan/HBK match from SummerSlam – and how Shawn was or wasn't "unprofessional" with his dramatic over-selling – I wanted to get some suggestions from you. What other famous/well-known instances can you provide where someone was noticeably taking liberties with someone in the ring?

I know some of your readers mentioned the Paul Roma/Alex Wright match from SuperBrawl (I think), and then there was the Berlyn/Hacksaw Duggan match where even the announcers mention how stiff ("physical") the match is getting. The Brody/Luger cage match was a car wreck, too. Are there any other specific instances you can think of?

Bob Holly notably sandbagged Brock Lesnar in one match, deciding that he wasn't going up for a powerbomb, and that's the biggest recent one I can think of off the top of my head. Of course Holly also decided to beat the shit out of Matt Cappotelli on Tough Enough after the kids had to hear a lecture about trusting people in the ring. In fact, for a lot of these you can just fill in "Bob Holly".

Comments are disable in preview.
