10 Times Wrestlers Secretly LIED To The Locker Room
1. Mass Transit
More than willing to lie to a number of wrestlers and a promoter in order to get his shot in favourite promotion ECW, Erich Kulas picked the wrong opponents to reveal his inexperience too.
Undertrained and barely of age, Kulas asked an over-zealous New Jack to blade him, and The Original Gangsta was only too happy to get involved.
1996 wasn't exactly an uneducated and unrefined time, but this ugly scene dates the entire industry in a manner you're glad to see the back of. Gone are the days where the wrestling community at large was ghoulish enough to write off New Jack's actions as reasonable in light of Kulas' lies. And thankfully gone too are the days where such a thing could ever occur on a company with the coverage and scope ECW had gained by 1996. But one senses that the tenets and attitudes remain largely the same, especially towards those that step over the sacred line into the locker room.
A bloodletting on this level hopefully wouldn't happen again, but ruling out an amateur taking a pasting from a pro feels too utopian for wrestling of any era.
