Yea way back in the day before the Net and all, WWF would have "odd" things happen at house shows, because they knew no one would ever see it, outside of the people in that market. For example, Tito Santana actually pinned the Undertaker in 1991 at a live event in Texas, weeks before the "undefeated" Undertaker lost his first match to Hulk Hogan at This Tuesday in Texas. It was done to please the large Hispanic demographic in that market. Similar events tended to happen in Montreal with the Rougeau Brothers in the late 80's, early 90's.

Obviously now they can't pull that off because of the ease of it spreading on the Net.

That's interesting. about Tito beating the Undertaker. i remember somthing like that happeing when i was a kid at LA Sports Arena they use to come to LA once a month back in the late 80's in it was a match between the Demolition and The Twin Towers for the Tag belts and Akeem got a clean pin over Smash. i remember Slick holding the belts up high. but when we returned to tv nothin was mention about it.
