10 Worst Things That Can Happen When You Lose A Wrestling Match

9. You Could Be Forced To Eat Dog Food

In the late eighties and early nineties, Jimmy Hart was more over as a heel manager than some of his client wrestlers were. That meant that anything a babyface could do to get over on Hart would get over with the crowd. On one memorable occasion in Memphis, the stipulation for the match (Hart and Bobby Eaton versus Koko B. Ware and Stan Lane) was that the losers would eat dog food, straight out of the can. Naturally, Jimmy Hart wasn€™t going to be on the winning team€ there was no point in the gimmick otherwise. The crowd wanted to see the heels eat dog food, and that was all she wrote. Jerry Lawler, being an old hand at this, suggested that Hart replace the dog food with tinned chilli €“ they€™d only have to swap the labels over and no one in the crowd would be able to tell the difference. Hart thought this was a great idea, but had a sneaking suspicion that the King was pulling a fast one€ sure enough, when bell time arrived, Hart checked and found that the chilli had been cunningly switched for real dog food again. Convinced he€™d had the last laugh, Hart switched them back, having bought a second can of chilli as insurance against ribbing. Unfortunately, when they got right down to it, the cheap tinned chilli €“ cold and congealed from long storage €“ was actually as gross as real dog food. Both men threw up after a few mouthfuls, which was all the fun-loving Memphis crowd had ever wanted anyway.

The British Bulldog had a match with Ken Shamrock at Summerslam '97 with an identical stipulation, but this time Smith€™s European championship was on the line too. The Bulldog teased forcing the dog food on a downed Ken Shamrock, but this made the World€™s Most Dangerous Man snap, and he struck Smith in the face with the can and was disqualified. Enraged, he choked out the British Bulldog and attacked the referee, and no one had to eat any dog food. What a swizz!
