10 Insane Wrestling Stories Nobody Ever Talks About

10. Ric Flair No Sells Attempted Murder Scene

André the Giant's temper was as short as his frame was tall - a combination so terrifying that it once compelled Ric Flair to simply walk away from an attempted double murder scene.

The story is thus: Blackjack Mulligan, who also had a fuse shorter than Vince McMahon's attention span, once for unfathomable reasons sucker-punched a drunken, ornery, actual giant capable of killing a man with his bare, oversized hands.

Two men, in fact.

Before striking André, Mulligan turned to Dick Murdoch and said 'Watch this'. Interpreting this as tacit approval, André dragged both men into the nearby sea and plunged their heads below the water. Murdoch and Mulligan weren't pesky, Singh Brother-sized pissants. They were also humungous, very hard men, and they still jobbed in this outrageous shoot handicap squash match. Ric Flair watched the entire scene while walking backwards with his head over his shoulder.

Incredibly, this wasn't the only occasion on which Mulligan poked the bear: the two came to blows following a game of cribbage gone awry. The only person in wrestling capable of squaring up to men much stronger than they are is Stephanie McMahon.

Blackjack Mulligan should know this.
