10 Scapegoats For RUBBISH WWE Ideas
10. Bart Gunn Ruins ‘Brawl For All’
The WWF would've had a ready-made main event rival for 'Stone Cold' had stupid Bart Gunn not used his stupid hands to knock others out in a stupid shoot fight tournament on stupid TV. Stupid! Oh yes, some believed sticking 'Dr. Death' Steve Williams in a legit toughman contest was his ticket to the top in 1998.
Gunn had other plans. He was genuinely handy with ye olde fisticuffs, so he mauled the competition for real and eventually earned the right to get knocked out by Butterbean at WrestleMania XV. That wasn't the original plan; it was nowhere close.
In the minds of fed chiefs, Bart ruined their 'Brawl For All' idea by being a good fighter. It's so childish that the WWF got angry about Gunn doing his job properly. Imagine things not going your way when you book something realistic. Isn't that why wrestling is a work in the first place?! So promoters can plan?
Poor Gunn was a scapegoat.
