The Most BRUTAL Wrestling Match You've Never Seen Before

Guerrero vs. JBL, Umaga vs. Cena, and Jon Moxley's Greatest Hits pale in comparison.

All wrestling is fundamentally brutal. It all hurts. Hulk Hogan is a shell of a man. He is also a physical wreck, and this is a bloke who got over primarily by flailing about on his knees and shaking his head from side to side.

All wrestling is brutal, and the brutality is the selling point. Even the most "pure" in-ring stories, a lot of the time, run it back with a weapons match.

Tables. Forks. Barbed wire. Fire. Barely protected falls from 20 feet in the air. Shoot bombs. Pro wrestling has experimented with violence and weapons to insane lengths, and yet, the most brutal match ever held only needed a guardrail, a chair, a hoss, and a bonafide f*cking lunatic. Oh, and some exposed concrete.

Samoa Joe Vs. Necro Butcher, June 11, 2005, promoted by IWA: Mid-South in the New Alhambra Sports & Entertainment Center (formerly, unofficially, the ECW Arena): this is the most unbelievably violent, sickening, grotesque pro wrestling match ever held.
