Mere months before Jeff Jarrett and Booker T fought for the right to open boxes, Buff Bagwell and Kanyon wrestled on the New Blood Rising pay-per-view. Only the third match on the show, WCW couldn't resist busting out something wacky. Buff's mother Judy was pre-advertised as being on a pole high above the ring for the bout.

It's a good thing that didn't happen, but Kanyon (the heel of the piece) did explain that he couldn't find a pole strong enough to hold Mrs. Bagwell. Thus, he had to settle for putting her on a forklift and driving her to ringside. Then, Kanyon raised Judy high into the air.

Buff Bagwell would win the match, thereby saving his mother from the supposed fate of being dropped to the ground. There's no reasonable explanation as to why WCW management repeatedly booked Judy Bagwell over the period of a few years, she was hardly a draw on pay-per-view.

Still, Vince Russo's fascination with providing things people had never witnessed before continued. If only the quality control had been as prominent as his originality.
