10 Moments You Can’t Believe WWE Left On The Network

10. Tank Abbott Threatens Murder

WCW, famously, was a mismanaged shambles well before Vince Russo overtook the asylum. They couldn't even time their pay-per-views properly, so it's little wonder that they were not versed in the dark arts of, erm, quickly instructing a production staffer to cut away from the scene of a crime.

At SuperBrawl 2000, Tank Abbott defeated Big Al in a Leather Jacket On A Pole match because Vince Russo promoted it. Abbott pulled down the jacket, decided against wearing it when he couldn't get it on, removed a knife from one of the pockets and stood over what very nearly was Al's carcass. Even though what was happening was completely self-evident, Tony Schiavone claimed ignorance as Abbott held the knife to his throat. WWE Network staffers must also be blind (and deaf); this debacles airs unedited - even Abbott's insistence that he is going to "f*cking kill" his defeated opponent.

This was an intentional murder attempt, as opposed to the manslaughter of the finish, which saw Abbott carelessly drop Al on his head from the top turnbuckle. The most insane element of an insane angle is that Tony Schiavone et al. don't even bother to sell it. A former legitimate combat athlete wields a massive knife and threatens to use it - and they react as if they're watching Vampiro apply a chinlock. Mark Madden seemed genuinely concerned, actually, but godd*mn Schiavone. He must have totally checked out at this point.

"I think that was maybe a pair of scissors, and he was gonna cut off his beard or something there." Big Al did not wear a beard.

Obviously, in Vince Russo's WCW, the left hand had no clue what the right hand was doing. Swerve!
