10 Craziest Wrestling Moments That Ever Happened Live

6. The Outsiders And The Lawn Dart

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtc7QzFzjPY In WCW in summer 1996, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, aka the Outsiders, and their invasion angle had gathered steam heading in towards a date with destiny at Bash On The Beach on July 7th, where Hulk Hogan had been revealed to be their cohort, turned heel for the first time since Hulkamania had first run wild, and formed the New World Order. For a few weeks following that seminal moment, Nash and Hall continued to turn up at Nitro to attack random wrestlers, but it was this moment, on July 29th, which would prove to be yet another game changer. Interrupting a match taking place, the cameras scoot back outside the arena to the car park, to see Nash and Hall standing over the prone bodies of Arn Anderson and Buff Bagwell with baseball batts. Scotty Riggs eats a stage light, and (in one of the most legendary bumps of all time), Rey Mysterio bizarrely attempts a crossbody from the trailer steps onto Nash, who is legitimately seventeen foot taller than him. Nash catches him, and throws him head first into the trailer, thereby adding the term €˜lawn dart€™ to the vernacular of every wrestling announcer in North America. Brilliantly, Randy Savage legs it from the ring to see the aftermath and Nash and Hall€™s limousine pulling away. Without skipping a beat, the Macho Man leaps onto the car€™s roof, because Randy Savage was awesome and should have been President of the United States of America. The limo drives off with him clinging to the sunroof, somehow continuing to wage war on the intruders in typical Macho style. In some alternate reality, he€™s still half in, half out of that sunroof, having decided it€™s the car that€™s his enemy, not the Outsiders. Magic. This wasn€™t treated as just a beatdown angle. The injured wrestlers were scheduled to compete: in storyline, the attack forced them to change the card and the announce team acted as though they were in fear of physical violence themselves. Bobby €˜The Brain€™ Heenan flatly refused to appear. Cameras pan shakily from concerned face to concerned face, Nancy €˜Woman€™ Sullivan is wailing over Anderson like a war widow, people are being carted off to the emergency room€ it€™s been done to death since, but it€™ll never have the same kind of impact as this.
