John Austin Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Jeff Hardy vs Sting comes to mind. That's the first one that came to my mind as well. At the least they recognized the problem and didnt let it go on long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwoy2j Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The best example involving The Sandman was the Texas Death Match (at least I think those were the stips) match against Foley in ECW. I think he got hit by a frying pan or something and was clearly out of it. Also wouldn't surprise me if he went into the match drunk. Foley kept hitting him to get him to stay down, legit chair shots and all that, but Sandman wasn't getting the message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the least they recognized the problem and didnt let it go on long. Another Hardy one was from Survivor Series 2002, the 6 man tag. There was a spot where Rico was on the top rope and Jeff was supposed to hit the ropes to knock Rico off. Jeff was off in la-la land for a while and Rico had to sit up there like an idiot and you can audibly here go, "goddamnit Jeff!" to get his (Hardy's) attention to complete the spot.

ChuckScumm Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Is that dude Rowe that's in the team War Machine in ROH any good? He's wrestling Luke Hawx tomorrow for Hawx's Wildkat promotion, & I'm thinking about checking it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I thought Hogan was always billed as 6'6'' or so? I am 6' tall. Hulk Hogan is not 6' 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Speaking of the Worm, I was thinking about his match with Hogan against DDP and Karl Malone, and how he was clearly "in no condition to perform." Which got me to thinking, what are some other examples of wrestlers working while obviously fucked-up? Of course there's Jake Roberts at the Heroes of Wrestling show, and I'm sure there are innumerable examples involving the Sandman. Who else? That infamous Jeff Hardy vs. Sting match.

Eivion Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Hogan was billed at 6'7 and was probably around 6'5 in reality. Injuries and age have taken more than a couple of inches from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I'm curious, is Hulk truly immortal, as in will never die, or is he like Jack Harkness? "You are not alone, BROTHER!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayhawk_in_cny Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Jeff Hardy vs Sting comes to mind. That's the first one that came to my mind as well. At the least they recognized the problem and didnt let it go on long. I'm not a regular follower of TNA, and it seems like they always get a lot of hate, some deserved, some not. That being said, I've always felt like they did the best thing possible in that situation. They delivered a match, somewhat, so as to avoid being accused of bait and switch, and ensured that it was as short as possible, and managed to reasonably maintain order at the same time.

This lead to me watching another video and getting a perfectly timed alert on my phone, so as Hero is explaining that he's not racist, I hear "like I said, I don't hate *chime*". That is all.
