10 Wrestlers Who F*cked Up On Their First Day
3. The Shockmaster Does, In Fact, Shock The World
One of the funniest pro wrestling moments ever caught on tape - just narrowly edging out Triple H mocking you for claiming that you were going to stop watching WWE, only for you to actually stop watching - it's almost impossible to write about.
To quote Martin Mull, it's like dancing about architecture. Nobody is ever going to writer a recap funnier than the event itself, nor is anybody going to provide a reaction more amusing than a delighted Davey Boy Smith spluttering "He fell flat on his f*cking arse!"
That is a perfect reaction because he didn't fall flat on his arse. He fell on his face. Swear words are funnier when they are totally unnecessary, and for purely phono-aesthetic reasons, the word "arse" is just funnier coming out of the mouth of a northwestern Englishman. What's also unbeatable is Sting's big declaration. This was the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia title graphic meme years and years before the show even existed:
"The Shockmaster shocks the world".
Ole Anderson corpsed before doing the Shockmaster's voiceover, and the poor prick had to pick up his glittery stormtrooper helmet, as if it was going to save everything, before miming it.
Just magic - for everybody not named Fred Ottman, obviously, who f*cked up by going arse over tit on a skirting board. Only in WCW could one fall over something that 9,999,999 out of 10 millions times has a solid wall attached to it.
