10 Wrestling Matches You Won't Believe Happened In 2017

10. Sabu Vs. Gangrel

The fan-taken YouTube video of Sabu's Big Time Wrestling encounter with Gangrel back in August looks like it was shot through the bars of a jail cell - which is apt, given that both of its competitors (or at least their in-ring alter-egos) probably belong in a state correctional facility.

Neither man did anything to disabuse us of that notion during the match, which - as you might have guessed (neither man exactly being known for well-paced, technical clinics) - was essentially just a series of brutal-looking chair shots in and around the corner of a baseball stadium.

Not exactly the most intimate of settings then, but clearly the audience was liberally dotted with a smattering of hardcore fans, who were plenty entertained by the match they were given, proving that purist wrestling isn't the only way to get over.

It's commendable (if questionable) enough when a pair of twenty-somethings take harsh weapon shots in the name of entertainment, but when it's two middle-aged cult heroes - whose places in the annals of history are already cemented - you can't fail but to be impressed (or at least concerned).
