Difficult to watch moments in professional wrestling history
 

Remember when Candice almost died and Beth Phoenix was absolutely carless?

This is how some customs begin

Hah?

Mojo Rawley promo's

Foley vs. Rock, I Quit match for the WWF title.

Back then I was in awe over the brutality of the match. Now I just wince or start thinking of all the potential brain damage Foley took from those sick sounding chair shots, especially the ones where Rock did not hold back.

In a more recent moment, David Arquette vs Nick Gage match from Janela's last show where Arquette had a visible gash on his neck from a light tub attack.

The portion of “Beyond The Mat” where Foley’s kids are crying.

Candance shouldn't have been a wrestler.

When Foley was having a last man standing match with Sandman, and Sandman got knocked out on his feet, and just instinctally kept standing back.up, and Foley continued to hit him in the head

That’s harsh, Slicky. She was making an effort to standout during her stint.

Yep, saw that one one of Foley's DVDs. Sandman was out of it and pissing Foley off with every rise-up.

You blamed Beth for a botch on one of the most common wrestling spots. It was most likely Candance not being in the right location for it.

How the fuck was that Beth's fault?

Candice beamed herself because she was awful and didnt know how to take a bump that literally every wrestler has taken thousands of times.

It wasn't Beth's fault at all.

I did not blame Phoenix for that. The way Phoenix dragged Candice to the middle of the ring for the pinfall was careless. Of course their knowledge about concussions has expanded since.

Fignuts is the kinda guy who'd probably blame Daniel for not tapping out. That's a dark one.

Kid just had to try and be a hero, didn't he?

:rofl:

This was scary to watch as a young fan

Candice Michelle got really good towards the end

Yeah she could have just pinned her in the corner.

Ref probably should have just rang the bell though, hindsight being what it is.

Nobody gonna mention Sid breaking his leg?

Too mainstream.

I definitely don't remember this. Are you thinking of Eve Torres?

Definitely Candice. She had a 2 out of 3 falls match with Beth on Raw that was terrific (the video guru dave posted was the end of the match) Her feud in general with Beth was great. Check out any of her 2007 stuff. Really good stuff with Melina too. Her match at Unforgive 07 with Beth is probably her best match.

Nah, I'm chill on that. Once seemed like enough. Thanks though.

Really glad I missed 06-11 WWE, seems quite awful.

that Jackie Geyda/Chris Nowinski vs Trish and JBL tag match. Jackie blew like every spot

Gertner is right.

Candice Michelle was someone who shouldn’t have been a wrestler. She worked hard at it and actually became respectable-good wrestler.

i remember Candice the most for being on one of those Skinemax movies.

Yes that and the Godaddy Super Bowl commercial. Those reasons are why they kept her on after the diva search.

It took her some time, but she became a legitimate wrestler.

Clearly WWE should be making a movie about her.

WWE from the time Vince Russo left until present day.

Candice Michelle, Eve Torres and Kelly Kelly all got good enough for a Women's Royal Rumble.

Sid

Eve was always good

Remember that Donald Trump/Rosie O'Donnell match on Raw? That was pretty fucking difficult to watch.

100% agree

HHH fucking Katie Vick

Most of the guest host era.

WWE is really jarring to watch sporadically. Vince’s voice is webbed through everything.

Tommy Dreamer / Undertaker's mini-feud.

Yeah. There were guests here and there I enjoyed because they showed genuine enthusiasm and you could tell they really wanted to be there.

But so many of them were just there to hock their upcoming movie or TV show and they looked like they couldn't get out of there fast enough.

The Only guests i liked

Bret Hart
Sgt. Slaughter
Ted DiBiase
Bob Barker
Shaq

You didn't like Hugh Jackman punching Dolph Ziggler? Or Seth Green doing whatever it was he did?

I was on vacation when I was 10 and on the Monday night of the trip my dad and his gf who both hated wrestling allowed me to watch Nitro as they were going to be out and about that evening.

They got back right near the end of the episode, just in time to see Macho Man slap Torrie Wilson and throw Gorgeous George against a wall.

Is it easy for you guys to watch Chris Benoit matches today?

Pretty much every DX promo from January until the Nation feud . Been watching all the 98 Raw's in order and those segments are just fucking cringe worthy. Like they are hard to sit through.

It's never bothered me. Even right after he killed his family.

If I'm watching a show he's on I'm always cognizant of the fact that I'm watching an old show and don't focus on the fact that Benoit or anyone else is dead.

That said there was a SmackDown episode where Bischoff gets front row seats only to discover with horror that Benoit and Eddie had defected from Raw. And Michael Cole just goes "Eric Bischoff looks like he's seen two ghosts!"

I could NOT believe they didn't edit that line out.

whoops , Hugh Jackman was good too.

The DX promos from the Little People's Court time were embarrassing. Little People's Court itself was the worst ever.

DX fucking sucked in 2006. I actually forgot that they put them back together in 2009 or something. I had blocked it from my memory. A lot of their Attitude era stuff was overrated too.

I remember making an emotional post about it. There was certainly a time period when I felt uncomfortable watching his matches. While I don't go out of my way to see his matches, I don't skip them anymore.

Wrestlers are by and large not great people. Things have changed alot nowadays, but if I stopped watching wrestlers due to shitty things they've done, it would wipe out 90% of the 80's and 90's wrestlers

I do watch Benoit matches usually, I don't recall skipping them. However I tend to avoid WWE events that he worked on. Watching him in WCW doesn't really bother me as much because there is a kind time line separation I tend to make. However, I do think about it every time I see him and usually end up feeling like what a waste of talent. Dude was probably the best worker ever minus the ability to connect with the crowd. But usually his work was was serious and believable he didn't have to pander or play to the audience ever.

I watch a ton of old wrestling but I rarely watch anything WWE after 98. Around the time Smackdown! came on it just gets muddled for me. Back in 99 I didn't have access to UPN so I never got in the habit of watching Smackdown! and to be honest I've never been in a long term viewing habit with the show. It always felt extra to me. Mostly because my fandom includes more than just WWE.

Kathy Lee and Hoda segment was really bad.

This.

How many do you think fucked underage ringrats?

23

To be fair, there is a difference between being a sleazy piece of shit and being a murdering piece of shit. I've always been able to watch his work, but it's hard to actively engage with him as one of the greatest of all-time, even though intellectually he is. It has tainted his work to some degree.

This was certainly difficult to watch.

Loved The DX split and Poker games though.

Of course I've only seen that on youtube but all those segments were embarassing. I think what made me cringe the most was when they ressed up as McMahons. So unfunny.

Wait, why?

What's so difficult to comprehend, SixxT9?

Exactly what I asked. Why?

That segment from Tough Enough was cringeworthy and difficult to watch. I am unsure if you're being sarcastic.

Ok then. I was not being sarcastic at all.

I thought it was hilarious. What's cringeworthy is that they ended up hiring her.

That she lasted longer than any of them also

Funky was certainly on a roll.

What ever happened to Luke Robinson?

Half of the comments from members on here are just as juvenile probably even more so pretty hilarious seeing y'all bash DX.

Can someone show me one good Black Widow post? Just one will do.

Our comments and DX bashing is juvenile? As opposed to what? This?

Oh, that's pretty good.

Difficult to watch moments......

Mae Young giving birth to a hand-shaped dildo was pretty difficult to watch.

Oh fuck! I don't even need to click on this video. I know what it is about.

This was probably (one of) the most disturbing segment(s) I've ever seen. That chairshot to the cranium...fuck!
