10 REAL Reactions From WWE Wrestlers Being Punished On Air

10. Bart Gunn (WrestleMania XV)

The recent Dark Side Of The Ring episode on Brawl For All gifted to the mainstream what most with more than a passing interest have known for over two decades - that the tournament was amongst the stupidest ideas in the history of the industry.

Surprise winner Bart Gunn takes centre stage in the feature, as he should. 'The Hammer' and his vicious left hook made mincemeat of the opposition in a manner that should have resulted in a decent push for the former tag team champion. Instead, he was punished for doing a very good job with the one meaningful thing he'd been asked to do.

Ignored and unused on television, Gunn was only given the glimmer of a hopeful spotlight when the company offered him a WrestleMania spot against heavyweight prizefighter Butterbean. He had no real choice to take it, but the poisoned chalice hid in plain sight - the company with no faith in his trained discipline suddenly backed his amateur (at best) credentials to the hilt.

On the aforementioned documentary, he noted that he knew his career was over as he lay on the WrestleMania XV mat trying to make sense of himself following a terrifying and rapid fire knock out. How else was there to react, other than being grateful that he still could?
