10 Fascinating Secret Wrestling Connections You Definitely Missed
5. When Adam Copeland Throws On The Hardcore Vest, Things Get Hot
'The Rated "R" Superstar' is a bloke who never misses an opportunity to add some glorious detail to his work.
And if you were paying close attention to the gear Adam Copeland sported during his recent TNT Championship war with long-time pal/rival Christian Cage, you may have been able to spot a magnificent connection that secretly foreshadowed the match's fiery conclusion.
That specific vest and trouser combo Copeland donned for his Worlds End fight with AEW's 'Patriarch' was actually the same one he chose for his iconic WrestleMania 22 hardcore match with Mick Foley all those years ago.

No one will ever forget the horrifying visual of 'Mrs Foley's Baby Boy' being speared through a blazing table at ringside that night. And what do you know? Something rather similar went down during the last AEW PPV of 2023.
Instead of being knocked off the apron and through the burning wood here, though, Nick Wayne wound up getting powerbombed onto the table late on - but not through it, instead taking a pretty awkward neck-first bump onto the floor.
Copeland had a few folks online fired up for a burning table spot from the second he strutted out onto the ramp, but many were too caught up in the violence to spot this fantastic detail.
