10 Worst Times Celebrities Got Physical In Wrestling
3. RoboCrap
Stepping away from real-world supervillains, let's take a look at the wacky Saturday Morning Cartoon wonderland that was early 90's wrestling.
Before the nWo changed the game in 1996, wrestling was awash with gimmicks that could could charitably be described as "cartoonish", but more accurately described as "a load of old b*llocks". Plumbers, race car drivers and mythological creatures such as Mantaur and the Yeh-tay provided enough grade-A WrestleCrap to fertilise the entire eastern seaboard.
However, the most fragrant-smelling turd in the pile was Robocop's one (and thankfully only) foray into the world of professional wrestling.
As part of the 1991 Capital Combat PPV, WCW hero Sting found himself locked in a cage by the dastardly Four Horsemen faction. The group then inexplicably attempted to assault him from outside the cage. Wouldn't it have made more sense to try beating him up before putting him in?
But hope is not lost! Enter Robocop, who slowly...slowly... slowly makes his way to the cage, at a speed somewhere between continental drift and the entropic decay of the universe.
Intimidated by their metal adversary's ability to move at speeds a paraplegic tortoise would laugh at, the Four Horseman back off and allow Robcop to free Sting, before slinking off to their dressing rooms to (presumably) phone their agents to ask exactly when their WCW contracts expire.
