10 Crazy WWE Moments That Could Only Happen On Live TV
9. Rhyno Gores Chris Jericho Through The Smackdown Set
The summer of 2001 was headlined by the WCW/ECW Invasion storyline with the idea that those companies were in WWE to try to take over. One of the feuds that took place during that period saw Rhyno battle Chris Jericho, which led to a SummerSlam match between the two. What was most memorable about the rivalry was a moment that took place on the August 9, 2001 edition of Smackdown. Rhyno had attacked Jericho by the entrance area and gave him a suplex on the steel ramp. Jericho was struggling back to his feet with his back to the Smackdown logo that was on a video screen. Rhyno went back about 10 feet, charged in and destroyed Jericho with a GORE! GORE! GORE! They went crashing through the screen with the Smackdown logo. It's not like they broke glass or anything like that. It was impressive because a Gore through an object was one of those spots that awesome visually. It looked really cool and it was an entertaining moment on television. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY3SFCm_Afo It's those moments that make it feel extra special where the guys are putting their bodies on the line to entertain us.
