20 Incredible WWE Ruthless Aggression Era Moments Nobody Ever Talks About
9. Big Show And JBL Being Hit By Tranquilliser Darts
Two years before MVP's official debut match at No Mercy 2006, a certain newly bald giant collided with a 'Wrestling Machine' at that same PPV.
But how did this monstrous Big Show end up having his hair clipped off?
Well, a few weeks before Show and Kurt Angle clashed at the event, the latter decided to embarrass his gigantic adversary on SmackDown.
After watching a video involving a gorilla being shot with a tranquilliser dart, the big lad thought it would be a wonderful idea to incorporate that barmy concept into his feud with the Olympic gold medalist.
Only, after being advised by a cruel Vince McMahon to pump said gun a few too many times, Angle ended up nearly firing the dart right through his PPV rival before chopping off the balding star's locks.
But the incredibly surreal tranquillising times weren't over by a long shot, folks.
Fast forward a few months, and that same tranquilliser gun was being accidentally fired at JBL's ass on the blue show, with Amy Weber pulling the trigger during that taping in Japan - a night that also saw the then-WWE Champion awkwardly beat up an inflatable dinosaur in the middle of the squared-circle.
Childish ol' Vince evidently got a kick out of all of this woozy silliness, whereas most fans watching the latter uncomfortable segment, in particular, go down simply wished they'd been on the receiving end of the weapon.
