10 Things You’ll Never See In WWE Again

8. Planned Shoot Fights

The 'Brawl For All' was completely idiotic when it first launched, and it remains something that will forever be viewed as a bullsh*t excuse for machismo. Not only did sporadic shoot fights undermine the worked matches taking place elsewhere on cards, it also led to several nasty injuries and achieved bugger all.

Fans wishing for a reprise, prepare to be disappointed. There's zero chance WWE will ever do something this stupid again.

Eventual winner Bart Gunn was creamed by real fighter Butterbean at WrestleMania XV in an embarrassing side-show that did nothing for winner or loser. After that, the company moved on and they've steered clear of shoot fights in a worked environment ever since, as they should.

There's no Brawl For All II incoming. Those with a shoot fighting background, like NXT's Matt Riddle, now have to integrate their realistic strikes and genuine hard man mentality into WWE's world. There's no room for legitimate kickings.
