Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels got into it backstage, didn't they?

and everyone knows about Bret punching Vince in the mouth.

Didn't DDP's first pro match have a backstage postscript with his opponent trying to punk him out?

04-21-2005, 06:40 PM

I would just like to elaborate on D3:16's post since it makes me feel so could when I think about it.

Goldberg and Jericho had a history dating back to WCW. Anyway for whatever reason, Goldberg, like he would in character, started grunting at Jericho and then tried to grab him by the throat. But than ks to Jericho's training he was able to counter into a headlock and he basically wrestled Bill down to the ground and with a headlock in place, in front of the locker room, Jericho chocked Goldberg out.

What a story.

Jericho/Goldberg is the most famous one I have heard. There is also the one about The British Bulldogs and somebody back in the day. Can't remember against whom though.

I believe it was the Rougeaus. Didn't one of them punch Dynamite in the mouth with knuckle dusters?

Yeah I remember that. If it's the site I'm thinking about it's got a huge list of backstage shoots. It was in my favorites at one point but I can't seem to find it.

Of course there was Hardcore Holly and Renee Dupree. I also remember that Hurricane got into a fight backstage with somebody but I can't really remember who was right now. I do remember that it was somebody that was bigger than Hurricane and according to the reports Hurricane whooped him pretty good.
Wasn't that Buff Bagwell? ANd I heard they just threw random stuff at each others head. Ending with Bagwell needing some sticthes.

Didn't DDP's first pro match have a backstage postscript with his opponent trying to punk him out?I'll copy the incident from 'Have A Nice Day'.

His first match, in Baltimore, sometime in the spring of 1992, was a classic, or at least the circumstances surrounding it were. I watched the whole thing, and to be honest, it wasn't at that bad for a beginner. A few minutes later after the match, I saw Dallas, and he was visibly upset. "Hey," I said, putting my arm around him, "it wasn't that bad." I then proceeded to compliment some of his work and helpfully offer hints on how he might improve it. "Thanks, Jackie" he said (he always called me Jackie). "I appreciate it." I felt like I had helped a little, but when I left, his eyes were still red from crying.

Later, Steve Austin asked me if I had heard about Dallas and Chip, who had been one of his opponents that night. As it had turned out, Dallas wasn't upset about the match at all - he was upset about the fistfight that had occured in the dressing room afterward. Apparently Firebreaker Chip (part of the little-missed team of the Patriots) had taken exception to some of the match, and being pumped up, got in DDP's face about it. Now, this may have been Page's first match, but he'd been part of the business for five years, and he wasn't about to back down.

Somewhere in the arguement, Chip threw a punch and the fight broke out. The scuffle ended when DDP hooked Chip in a front facelock, a simple but effective submission hold that in real life is a finished in any fight. Dallas had to be pulled off Chip, then walked to the dressing room, which is where I consoled him. I don't know, maybe you can't blame Chip (the real-life Curtis Thompson) - after all, the Patriots idea was one of the lowest in the long line of WCW lame ideas (does anyone else remember the Ding Dongs?) Maybe if I'd been given the gimmick of a "fire-breaker". who walked around giving fire tips, I'll may have had a little "Chip" on my shoulder, too.

Kurt Angle and Eddie Guererro got into it a bit backstage, although it was kinda more Kurt giving Eddie some tough love and wanting him to clear his head. I read that that wrestler Nailz supposedly beat up Mr. McMahhon backstage once. Also Savage and Hogan at the TNA Victory Road pay-per-view got into an argument which led to Savage being punked out and leaving TNA (for a while).

Didn't Brock beat Henning?
Henning couldn't take Brock. As I remember it, Brock was being riled by Henning, and wouldn't beat him down, guys like the U_T were egging him on to do so.
That's how I remember it.

HBK did the "Sunny Days" comment. Bret puched his lights out. Heat forever between those two though

Arn and Sid got into a fight in a hotel and Sid stabbed Arn a lot with scissors

Sid and Pillman got into a fight in a bar. Pillman won. Sid got pisseed, came back with a squegee (sp) but Pillman left already. Pillman would of kicked his ass again though.

Hawk vs Savage: Something happened at a Kid Rock concert where Savage punched Hawk after Hawk extended his hand for a "peace" shake. Savage's girl also got into a fight with Hawks wife.

Umm, Nailz vs Vince McMahon: You guys know this one. Nailz choked Vince after arguing about his pay at Survivor Series.

Pillman vs New Jack: Something happened here at an ECW show where Pillman was talking about the N.W.A. and New Jack took offense to it and they went at it backstage.

The Bruiser Brody Death is a notorious one. Just look that up.

There's a lot more, but I'm drawing blanks now.

There was also the time Rick Rude and Kevin Nash had problems (WWF days for BOTH, somehow, if I'm right), and Nash never ended up appearing to fight Rude at the time and place Rude said he'd be waiting.

RVD vs. Taz

After a match involving RVD and Sabu wound up Taz, he went around the ECW locker room saying he was gonna kick RVD's ass, Sabu's ass, etc. Word got around to Van Dam, who went up to Taz, and said "Pick the hand." Taz replied, "What?" and RVD punched him in the mouth. Taz went on the defensive, saying he didn't want to fight him. (thanks to HB2kBuzzsaw)

RVD! RVD! RVD!

Bradshaw v Steve Blackman, 1999/2000

WWF was in between shows at the local airport, and the wrestlers were waiting by the baggage collection bay and Bradshaw decided to dick about trying to push Blackman onto the moving luggage belt. Blackman turned around unflustered and planted a crescent kick flush on Bradshaw's jaw, knocking him clean out, picked up his bag and walked on. Both shook hands when it was done. (thanks to Steven & Chris)

And that my friends, is why Steve Blackman is the fucking man. :y:

At times like this I wish Foley wasn't a nice guy.. Don't get me wrong, I use to be a huge Flair (Horsemen in general) mark but Foley is God..

Why the fuck would anyone want to punch God??

has a wrestler actually ever used their finisher in a real fight with another wrestler

that would be pretty funny

EVER? Probably. I can't think of any examples, though. Actually, a lot of moves that are seen as "easy" or "simple" holds during worked matches are really pretty damaging if applied with the intent to inflict pain or injury.

04-22-2005, 04:17 AM

yeah, usually the finishers would never work in real life, thats' why i wonder.

the pedigree doesn't work in real life unless the guy recieviing it moves his legs up, spear doesn't hurt that much unless you're massive and can run fast, how do you lift an entire person with just one arm around the top of their body (rock bottom)

but then there's moves like the ankle lock which can actually work in real life

Randy Savage vs. Road Warrior Hawk

Backstage at a New Japan show back in 1996, words were exchanged between the two men (not sure about what) but it ended up with a fight where Hawk hit Savage with a right hook and knocked him out. Heat obviously still existed between the two because they had another confrontation three years later in the United States backstage at a Kid Rock concert at the Sun Dome in Tampa, Fl. Hawk saw Savage coming in his direction so he put his hand out (probably just out of respect) but Savage immediately threw a sucker punch that staggered Hawk. Hawk's wife was then attacked by Savage's then girlfriend Stephanie Bellars (Gorgeous George) and another female leaving her badly beaten. Hawk claimed that he would take legal action against the two women for attacking his wife but not against Savage since fights amongst wrestlers are usually kept away from the law. However, no action was ever taken. WINNER: Whoever got to see this Jerry Springer-like free-for-all lucked out big-time. (thanks to Rob Harvey and TPPW.net

LOL, this could work though, imagine hitting a guy in the face and he turns straight at you and barely flinches, then you hit him again and he just looks at you, this would shit me up.

LOL if the guy started shaking and tensing his muscles though, I'd be caught between fright and confusion, eventually realising the guy is obviously a complete psycho, so would go for the good ol' kick in the balls :cool:

Hulk Hogan vs. Harley Race -NEW!

From Race's book. As Race (then NWA) stormed the backstage area at a WWF show at the Municipal Auditorium, the Funk brothers looked stunned. Hogan was staring at the Funks and could see their faces. Before he could turn round, Race slapped him in the ribs. Hogan fell backwards into a chair. Sensing a difficult situation, Hulk joked, "Harley, I thought the first time I saw you in Kansas City you'd have a great big gun." Hogan should be advised not to play 'call my bluff' with Harley Race, as Race shot back with, "I don't have a great big one..." before pulling out a .380-caliber handgun.

That's GREAT.
Hogan "most likely" wouldn't have sold getting shot and just hulked up. The Gracie vs. Yoji Anjoh one will always be my favorite though, followed by the incident Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker had.

Rickson Gracie vs. Yoji Anjoh

What an embarrassment. Anjoh goes down and challenges Gracie an impromptu shoot to prove he’s tough. Gracie drove to his gym, taping his fists on the way. Once there, he gave Anjoh the beating of a lifetime. What a career killer. WINNER: Gracie and all the pupils who got to witness this massacre.

Andre the Giant vs. Ultimate Warrior

During their series of matches. They had a spot set up where warrior would charge Andre w/ a clothesline knocking the Giant back into the ropes to be tied up. Problem was, that Warrior would charge at Andre going at full speed. Now it didn't hurt Andre, but pissed him off royaly. When he was hit by the clothesline, Heenan would hear Andre grunt. This went on for a while, match after match, same thing. Warrior at full speed and Andre grunting. Finally Andre had enough. The spot came up and Warrior charged full speed at Andre, but the Giant simply held up his fist which connected and Warrior was knocked senseless. Next match, spot comes up, Warrior goes for the clothesline and basically goes in slow motion and connects with the clothesline. Andre gets tied up in the ropes and leans over to Bobby and says "He's learning." (thanks to Dazraven)
Rick Rude vs. Ultimate Warrior, 1989?

During the Ultimate Warrior/Rick Rude program, Rude came back after the match and asked Warrior to "lighten up" a bit. Warrior got right in Rude's face and said, "I don't have to, because I'm the Warrior." Rude knocked him silly with one punch and walked away. (thanks to "name withheld by request.") WINNERS: Rude, Democrats, and anyone else who hates Hellwig.

:D

I wish someone would have asked Hellwig about these incidents a few weeks ago at U-Conn.

The first one I thought of when I saw this thread was the Steiner/DDP one where Kimberly Page called out Steiner for some 'Roids backstage. He chased her out of the building and beat the shit out of DDP.

If the government could give Castro drugs to make his beard fall out, why hasn't anyone made Steiner fall off a horse and become a vegitable?
