10 Wrestling Segments That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Meant To See
3. The Shockmaster And His "Fooking Arse"
WCW being WCW did something correctly, for once, when there was absolutely no need to do it.
In fact, doing something correctly in this situation was the last thing they should have done. They couldn't even gimmick a plasterboard wall erected for the sole purpose of having somebody walk through it. What looks to be a skirting board was positioned underneath the cardboard over which the Shockmaster infamously tripped. Don't put a skirting board on a gimmicked wall, f*cking hell. That's like putting somebody through an Australian Buloke table.
It remains one of the funniest moments in pro wrestling history because it was a botched version of the worst idea ever devised. The entire scene was beyond omni-f*cked.
It was never going to be good. The Shockmaster wore a glittery stormtrooper helmet and a waistcoat. He spoke or somebody spoke on his behalf in a pitifully modulated voice. It was the sh*ts.
And it was made even worse when the poor pr*ck, as Davey Boy Smith infamously pointed out, fell "flat on his fooking arse".
You weren't supposed to see the Shockmaster's real head. You could tell by his embarrassed scramble. Which begs the question: had WCW intended him to work in that thing?
The answer on the above evidence has to be "yes," incredibly.
