10 Creepy Wrestling Curses
1. Papa Shango Curses The Ultimate Warrior
Some kayfabe bullsh*t here to finish off on a less grim note of bathos, this from experience was creepy to the children watching it.
To the adults watching it back, it's a curse, all right. Many of us with a moral conscience feel awful for persisting with an industry rotten to its core. It is as dumb as it is horrific with sprinkles of genius that temporarily rid us of its putrid stench.
Consider this dumb, dumb segment involving the horrific, horrific Ultimate Warrior.
After celebrating a win on Superstars, Papa Shango, who possessed the ability to curse his fellow wrestlers but not locate a wrestling ring, seemed to cause griping pains within the Warrior by shaking a smoking skull and making his eyes go a bit funny. The Warrior was rushed backstage and attended to by medical personnel. There, he vomited what was meant to be bile all over them.
The prop looked like pea soup that he was probably reluctant to eat because it wasn't meat and therefore was gay.
It is entirely, irredeemable awful, but it has developed a nostalgic, so-bad-it's-good patina. Wrestling is awful, but somehow, even its awfulness redeems it.
Wrestling is cursed.
