Gerald Brisco Shoots On WWE's Infamous 'Kennel From Hell' Match
"I always took the most difficult matches"...
Longtime WWE scout and Vince McMahon lieutenant Gerald Brisco told The Tampa Bay Times that he enjoyed working as a road agent for the company even when he was handed the worst matches.
Case in point: 'Kennel From Hell'.
That one match between Al Snow and Big Boss Man from Unforgiven 1999 has gone down in history as one of the most infamous examples of wrestling gimmickry gone wrong. The double-cage idea flopped, and trained "attack dogs" brought in to add to the spectacle ended up humping, playing and well...sh*tting their way through the thing.
It was a disaster, but Brisco loved the challenge.
According to Gerald, it was always going to be a nightmare - that's why he asked to agent it instead of letting somebody else take the fall.
"I always took the most difficult matches, because I felt like my job was safe if it went wrong. I didn’t want someone else to get in trouble".
Basically, Brisco knew that he wouldn't get fired over a few matches going poorly, so he tried to make the best of a bad situation. That's actually kinda' cool.
