[Graphic content warning: this spot is disgusting even by artless blood-spattered shindie standards. Be warned.]

As reintroduced to Wrestling Twitter via Shane of WrestleWipe renown, this is a Holy Sh*t moment you may not know about because it was too disturbing to scan as one. The fans in attendance were too unsettled to even chant it.

No, don't be bloody daft: the IWA Mid-South crowd did chant "Holy sh*t! as Ian Rotten pissed blood from every contour of his scalp because of course they did. Some of them would drive by some sort of horrific roadside accident, stop, roll down their window, and chant "Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!" at the fiery wreckage.

Balls Mahoney took what a clueless commentary team referred to as a "big orange thing" to Ian Rotten's head. He didn't quite know what it was, but it was heavy enough, surely, to indicate that it wasn't a traffic cone.

It was not a traffic cone.

It was several light tubes packaged together, and each of them exploded on Rotten's skull. He wore the quickest crimson mask that has ever materialised, started gibbering, and Balls looked like he'd just killed the man.

Somehow he hadn't.
