3. Bart Gunn Versus Butterbean
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S652hvQaWfY One of the worst ideas of 1998 was the Brawl For All Tournament. The tournament involved wrestlers doing real boxing matches with take-downs mixed in with a points system. The tournament was set up for the newly-acquired Steve Williams to run through the competition and eventually get a title program with Steve Austin. Since it was real, the outcomes couldn't be controlled and in the quarterfinals, little-used Bart Gunn knocked out Williams. Gunn then went on to win the tournament, knocking out Bradshaw in the finals. The reward for Gunn was to be taken off TV for several months and then reappeared briefly in 1999 to feud with Bob Holly. Then Gunn was set up for a Wrestlemania Brawl For All match with pro boxer Butterbean. Despite being massively overweight, Butterbean was a knockout specialist and Gunn was still not a trained boxer. The outcomes and vicious and quick. Butterbean knocked out Gunn in 35 seconds in one of the more memorable Wrestlemania moments of all time. Many claim that the match was revenge by Jim Ross for knocking out his boy Williams. Gunn was then released from the company shortly after and enjoyed a run in Japan as Mike Barton, living off the knockout of Williams, who was a legend for years in All Japan.
