10 Stories That Prove Wrestling Is The Wildest Industry EVER
6. The Arn Anderson Vs. Sid Scissors Death Match
Workplaces across the world are brimming with rivalries. There's more long-term storytelling in a typical office than on WWE RAW.
It's a natural thing to happen. You don't choose your workmates. You don't choose to spend most of your time with that f*cking tw*t who pretends not to hear the phone because they won't do their job and think you should do it.
"But they'll ask me about something I don't know about."
"Then f*cking learn it!"
As with everything else, this is intensified in the wrestling arena. In the ordinary workplace, these feuds are rarely settled. Lingering, ever-present resentment results in some muttered "f*ck offs" here and some bitching there, when Debbie does her third tea round skive in the space of an hour.
In wrestling, they simply stab one another with scissors in an ostensible fight to the death.
In Blackburn, England - as you'll discover, American wrestlers treat the United Kingdom with the same relish Hulk Hogan does applying tanning lotion to his daughter's arse - a pissed-up Arn overheard a pissed-up Sid answer his question "Why aren't we drawing anymore?" with "Because there's an old man in Ric Flair who needs to get the f*ck out of the way!"
Arn defended his friend with a pair of scissors, which changed hands at various points as they stabbed one another, again, in a fight to the death that, mercifully, went to a non-finish. This hallway fight didn't break the Muta scale; it broke the Shining scale.
Still a better cinematic match than WWE's 2020 output.
