10 Things Wrestling Fans Found Too Distracting

5. The 'Kennel From Hell' Dogs

The next time you fire up some pro wrestling on TV, grab your phone and find a funny .GIF of two dogs humping. Then, place that in your eye line and try to focus on the two men or women working holds. That's what fans in attendance for Unforgiven 1999 had to put up with during the infamous 'Kennel From Hell'.

Al Snow vs. Big Boss Man was already OTT enough without horny mutts or pooping pups. The cage within a cage (old blue-barred structure inside Hell In A Cell - how's that for overkill?) stipulation was a struggle to watch, not least because the enlisted "attack dogs" had the time of their lives instead of snarling at the wrestlers.

Talk about a distraction.

Jerry Lawler could barely contain his laughter on commentary either, and fans around ringside were having way more fun watching the dogs than Snow and Boss Man. This was one of those late-90s ideas that pro wrestling should be ashamed of.
