WrestleMania 14: A Controversial Moment WrestleMania 14: A Controversial Moment At WrestleMania 14, one of the most iconic moments involved boxer Mike Tyson delivering a knockout punch to Shawn Michaels. While this was a scripted segment, it stirred controversy because Tyson deviated from the planned execution. Originally, the spot was set to have Tyson simply count a pinfall, but Michaels found the planned angle disrespectful and insisted it be changed. Despite Michaels' objections, Tyson proceeded with placing a Stone Cold Steve Austin t-shirt over Michaels' face, which was not part of the agreed-upon script. This decision angered Michaels, who was known for being difficult to work with at the time. Michaels attempted to confront Tyson at the post-show press conference, resulting in Shane McMahon having to intervene to prevent a physical al...

A Bugged Ending A Bugged Ending At WrestleMania 35, the women of WWE made history as Ronda Rousey, Becky Lynch, and Charlotte Flair headlined the event. While Lynch's victory to become a dual champion was a monumental moment, it was marred by a botched finish that overshadowed the match. The intended finish involved Rousey attempting a Piper's Pit on Lynch, but it ended in a crucifix pin that saw Rousey being pinned, despite her shoulders being visibly up. The confusion stemmed from conflicting reports about the planned finish. Some sources indicated Lynch was supposed to make Flair submit with the Dis-arm-her, while others suggested Lynch was to make Rousey submit. The unexpected pinfall and Rousey's shoulders being up added controversy to what was supposed to be a historic and clean conclusion to the match. ...

Papa Shango's Timing Blunder Papa Shango's Timing Blunder During WrestleMania 8, the main event featuring Hulk Hogan and Sid didn't quite meet expectations, especially for a WrestleMania main event. The match ended in a disqualification victory for Hogan after a lackluster performance. The planned finish involved Papa Shango intervening to break up a pin by Hogan, but a timing error occurred when Shango missed his cue. This mistake forced Sid to kick out of Hogan's trademark leg drop unexpectedly. Charles Wright, who portrayed Papa Shango, discussed the incident in an interview, explaining that he missed the cue because of miscommunication and being inexperienced at the time. Years later, he found out from fans at autograph signings about the mistake, reflecting on the confusion of the moment as he rushed to the ring without clea...

Taz's 10 Seconds in the Rumble: A Sign of WWE's Lost Interest Taz's 10 Seconds in the Rumble: A Sign of WWE's Lost Interest When Taz debuted at the 2000 Royal Rumble, it seemed WWE was positioning him as a significant player in the company. However, just a few weeks into his WWE tenure, it became clear that the company had already lost interest in featuring Taz prominently. His role on TV was significantly reduced, and this became evident in his booking. Taz was set to face Big Bossman at the No Way Out pay-per-view in 2000. Logic suggested that Taz would secure another easy victory. However, in a strange booking decision, Taz won the match by disqualification after Prince Albert interfered. Rather than booking Taz to overcome the two heels, he was laid out, draining the excitement from the arena as fans witnessed...

The Blade Job at wrestlemania 8

During WrestleMania 8 in the early '90s, WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) enforced a stringent no-blood policy for all wrestlers. This rule aimed to maintain a safer environment for performers and present a more family-friendly image. Despite this regulation, the allure of enhancing the drama and intensity of matches through bloodshed was too tempting for some wrestlers. Bret Hart, during his match with Roddy Piper, decided to blade—a term used in professional wrestling where a performer intentionally cuts themselves to produce bleeding. Hart's blading was so convincing that it appeared legitimate, allowing him to avoid fines and punishment. His act not only added to the match's intensity but also to the emotional investment of the audience. Ric Flair, another legendary wrestler known for his blading practices, also cho...
