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

5. You Could Actually Win But End Up Losing

Strictly speaking, this was a consequence of winning, but when we explain the circumstances, we think you€™ll agree that no winning really took place here. The very first Feast Or Fired match on TNA programming was booked for the Turning Point pay-per-view on December 2nd 2007. In it, ten men competed to bring down one of four briefcases on poles attached to each ring post, having to take it down and escape the ring to succeed. The match would continue until all four briefcases had been won. So what was in the briefcases? Well, there€™s the rub. At an episode of Impact on an unspecified later date, the four men would open their cases to find out what they€™d won. Three of the cases held contracts for title matches: one for the world title, one for the X Division title and one for the tag titles, with a partner of their choice. The fourth case held a pink slip. That€™s right: one of the Feast Or Fired winners received his marching orders as his prize. The 2007 match saw Senshi, the artist also known as Low Ki (or Kaval in his brief WWE run) win the booby prize. Of course, he had no idea on the night: and he never got the chance to find out for himself, because one of the other Feast Or Fired competitors, the Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels, angry at having failed to pick up a case of his own, challenged Senshi to a match for possession of his case at the very next television taping and beat him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jB5HCdboTc The very next week, all four winners opened their cases to reveal their prizes, and Daniels was fired. Essentially, he lost the original match, and kept his job€ but when he won the rematch, he lost it. The random nature of the three winning briefcases meant that wrestlers could easily end up with a title shot they didn€™t want, too. Makes less sense than a clown gargling marbles, but that€™s TNA for you: and at least the €˜pink slip€™ aspect to the angle was crowd-pleasing in the short term, acting as a punishment for an obnoxious heel who needed some time off.
