10 WWE Wrestlers Who Immediately Told You They Were Losing
Umm, guys, the result is meant to be a secret...
If you think we're going to start this list off with a tired old joke about how wrestling is actually fake, then you've got another thing coming.
We wanted to, but we already reached our quota for the month and we'll get fined if we go over.
The point still stands - wrestling is pre-determined, which means that those involved know the outcome before fans do.
One wrestler knows they are going to win, whilst the other knows they are going to lose. Nobody likes to lose, but that's all part of the game. Nothing you can do except go out there, put on a good show, and take the fall like a true champ.
Well, try explaining that to this lot.
Whether it was via body language, something that was said, or some other little indicator, fans could tell that something was up with these ten performers and that something was probably a big fat L heading their way.
Sometimes these unprofessional flourishes went mostly unnoticed, whilst others seriously affected the matches they preceded. It's hard to get invested in a fight when one of the participants is basically yelling in your ear "I'm going to lose!"
10. James Storm - According To Eric Bischoff
"Cowboy" James Storm is one of the most famous American wrestlers never to have a proper run in WWE.
Apart from a couple of NXT appearances in 2015, Storm has never set foot in the Big Dub, mainly plying his trade in the NWA and TNA/Impact Wrestling.
It was whilst working for the latter that one half of Beer Money Inc. encountered Eric Bischoff. The former WCW man used to help run TNA, although maybe "help" isn't the right word.
Bischoff has shared his thoughts on Storm publicly in the past and let's just say that he's not his biggest fan. In particular, he wasn't keen on what he perceived to be unprofessional behaviour on Storm's part whenever he was told he would be losing.
Easy E told one publication "You could always tell the finish of a James Storm match as he was making his entrance. If he was going over, he was on fire. If he was doing a job, he had a boo boo face on."
So, next time you watch a James Storm match from TNA, see if you could spot the "boo boo face" Uncle Eric is talking about.
