10 WWE-Like Moments In Real Sport

At SummerSlam 2017, the beach ball era of WWE would reach its nadir. In a Tag Team Championship title match with Sheamus against Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose, Cesaro would decide to take a stand, destroying one particularly distracting ball that had taken audience attention away from the action. Coming hot off the heels of other similar incidents, this would lead to a ban on the novelty items at future WWE events.

There was a happier ending for England cricket fans in their test against the West Indies in the same year. Having lost control of an inflatable ball (ironically in the shape of a football) to security, overwhelming pressure from the masses would result in a popular return for the ball. We say popular, although it does seem some had actually come to watch cricket and appeared quite annoyed with the whole affair.

As a bonus, recordings of the incident also show surprisingly high percentage of attendees had arrived in Hulk Hogan fancy dress, including one as the underrepresented Hollywood Hogan.
