Matches that turned into legit fights?
 

do you know of any matches that turned into a real fight.?

or any matches where the guy got knocked out for real (hopefully he was to win)

:)

Not sure about matches that turned into shoots, but I know that Hogan won a Japanese title because he accidentally knocked out the champion and had to do something.

That big boot can be DEADLY! (Not really sure if it WAS the Big Boot, but...)

well you can sort of count the blue meanie -JBL thing at ONS as well..but fuck..why did you "hoganize " this thread ?

He's everywhere.

lol Most memorable is Hardy vs. Edge at Summerslam

That wasn't a shoot.

Does Regal vs. Goldberg count?

nm... if it was actually a legit fight, Goldberg would probably be dead right now.

How about Jerry Saggs and Scott Hall?

New Jack vs C. Dundee

as far as knocked out jerry lynn was out cold in a match with rvd
i read an interview with him where he talked about still going for almost 5 minutes of that match and not even remembering it

I also recall an incident in 2004 when Hardcore Holly took stiff legit chair shots at Rene Dupree during a match at a house show.

What about the classic one from WCW where Goldberg went to Spear one of the guys in Kronic, hit the ring post and knocked himself out. There they are holding his unconscious body not knowing what to do... priceless.

or the time that Brock just owned Holly's neck.

Hogan mentioned in his book that Dan Spivey vs Adrian Adonis is 86 ended up being a shoot and went all the way backstage.

Goldberg punching out the window to go after Scott Hall in a backstage segment.

Not a fight at all, but that was seriously awesome.

Why are people talking about botches in this thead?

As far as fights, I don't know any real fights. Most wrestlers are professional enough to do a job and then take their beef backstage, hence tales of people getting stabbed, etc.

Back in the territories though, there were some REAL tough guys. I've heard that some of them would work pretty stiff until you started working stiff back...then they'd back off a bit.

The majority of guys are like that until they get to know you. It's just guys trying to prove they're a "bad ass." Nothing a stiff close-line can't settle but its common.

...please die ok?

Brusier Brody v Luger in some cage match from Florida(its posted in the Youtube thread). Brody just completely no sells Luger and starts throwing potatoes.

That was a work. Hogan didn't legit KO Inoki, they just said he did to get Hogan over.

gee I wonder who's idea it was to book that finish..the guys name would be "terry" now would it?:shifty:

No, Inoki was well known for "shoot booking" or booking to make everybody think it was a shoot/real.

Daniel Puder owned Kurt Angle on Smackdown and Kurt got really really upset about it.

Everyone likes to give Angle shit about that but damn, its not like he was expecting it, of course Puder got the best of him.

That was awesome. Luger starts sulking and just walks out of the match.

I don't have speakers right now so what were the announcers saying?

Also, were there any post match interviews, or any interviews years later about what actually went down? I watched that clip with no sound and was like wtf

Not between two wrestlers but the classic Eddie V RVD match when a fan runs in the ring, Eddie seems to nail him and then the ref tackles the bastard. I'm not sure if Eddies punch was a 'wrestling' punch or a genuine punch, still pretty funny.

It was a PO-TA-TO

I have a very grainy youtube vid. There's no commentary or interviews. It's just Brody staring at Luger and no selling his horrible punches. :rofl:

Do you have any po-ta-toes? I like po-ta-toes.

We HATES your nasty PO-TA-TOES

Hall and Saggs
 

This happened back in 1997 but can anyone who knows what I'm talking about confirm whether it was a work or a shoot? I remember it back then and I heard rumors it was a shoot.

I believe it was a shoot. I remember DDT digest had a big thing disscussing it.

<font color=white>Wasn't it less 'sulking' and more Luger shatting his pants?</font>

me vs. your mom

Yeah, me too. Thats what made me bring it up in the first place.
