00:00 Spoiler alert, wrestling matches are planned. I know I'll give you a few seconds to deal
00:03 with the fallout of that bombshell.
00:06 On we go. See wrestlers are strong. Here's some, and if you don't plan matches then
00:10 someone's going to get accidentally punched in the face or dick or worse. But as the well-known
00:13 Rabbie Burns saying goes, the best laid schemes of mice and men sometimes see accidental wrestling
00:19 happening and most of the time it's real bad but occasionally it's lightning in a
00:22 bottle amazing.
00:23 Ock.
00:24 Great phrase, thanks Rabbie. Wrestling history is full of amazing accidental moments like
00:28 Batista and Cena eliminating each other, the Raw Rumble 2005 and Vince's legs exploding
00:32 but also not that one because if I have to talk about that moment again I'm going to
00:36 run into the sea.
00:37 So here are some different ones. I'm Adam Hailing from PartsFunknown and here are 10
00:41 amazing wrestling moments that were complete accidents.
00:44 Number 10. The Cobra Commander. Well this is a gimmick you couldn't do today, huh?
00:48 Throughout the 80s, before animal rights were a thing, Jake Roberts used to bring a wholesome
00:52 snake called Damien to the ring. Damien would regularly change shape, colour and species
00:56 because he was a magical snake. Wrestling.
00:58 Despite Dave Ember episode of Superstars that year, Roberts tied Savage up in the ropes
01:02 and taunted him with the King Cobra which proceeded to clamp down on Savage's arm
01:06 and stay there. It actually ended up staying latched onto Macho for much longer than intended
01:10 and the image was iconic moments in either man's career.
01:13 Sad fact, the snake had been de-venomed so Savage was okay but the snake ended up dying
01:18 less than two weeks after the incident, leading Savage to joke afterwards that the snake had
01:22 actually been poisoned by him.
01:23 Number 9. The Rock Thanks You For That. The Rock and Sock connection are a very recognisable
01:28 dynamic being the living embodiment of 'can I go out okay but take your little brother
01:32 with you'. The Rock was cool, mankind was not but mankind worshipped The Rock and The
01:37 Rock tolerated him. Their on and off again bromance created a number of great moments,
01:41 the 'this is your life' segment, the double people's elbow that won them the tag championships
01:45 and of course this little unscripted gem.
01:48 On the September 2nd episode of Smackdown in 1999, The Rock and Sock were cutting a
01:52 promo the week after winning the tag belts. The Rock hit his catchphrase 'if you smell,
01:56 you know the one I mean' but before he could finish it his sunglasses flew off his
02:00 face and landed on the mat.
02:02 After a small awkward moment, mankind, the ever delightful sub to Rock's inscrutable
02:05 Dom, picked up the glasses and handed them to The Rock, with The Rock issuing a small
02:08 but delightfully human 'The Rock thanks you for that' before continuing on his promo.
02:13 It's sadly cut from the finished Smackdown broadcast but it's a lovely little character
02:16 moment between two reasonably good buds.
02:19 8. Titus O'Neil Kissed The Ground On The Lips
02:21 Titus O'Neil is a genuinely very lovely man who does genuinely very lovely things
02:26 but hot damn is it fun to make fun of him for stuff. Whether it was his fist in mouth
02:30 cringe worthy pirate stag do gone wrong at Wrestlemania, the super weird thing that happened
02:34 between him and Vince remember that, god it was weird, to of course Titus world slide.
02:39 To be honest it's just nice to hear Michael Cole laugh genuinely for once, you forget
02:44 he's a real person sometimes.
02:45 So it's the greatest Royal Rumble, Titus runs down, his feet stay behind and gravity
02:49 gives him a 3D pitching him straight under the ring like the ring was Kirby and he'd
02:54 just been eaten. Seriously though, there's a metal ring support in the middle of the
02:57 apron, Titus missed it by inches, turning what could have been a really nasty injury
03:02 into one of the stupidest but gut achingly funny moments of the last 10 years. It's
03:07 his legacy and that's both very sad and very nice.
03:10 7. Hey Baby I Hear The Boozer Calling
03:13 Seattle is famous for three things, Reign, Frazier and one of the greatest crowd hijacks
03:17 in the history of live entertainment. The 9th of December 2013 saw Raw come to Washington,
03:23 home state of Daniel Bryan who just so happened to be the hottest thing in wrestling at the
03:26 time. Despite WWE trying to sideline him from the main event and promote Cena vs Orton for
03:31 the 800th time, or rather because of that, during a championship ascension ceremony ahead
03:36 of TLC, the fans completely hijacked the segment, ignoring The Authority, Orton, all the former
03:42 champions in the ring and cheering full throat for Daniel Bryan. It's an astonishing segment
03:47 to watch, it goes completely off the rails. Triple H has to stop talking multiple times
03:52 to let the fans finish chanting, Mark Henry gets the biggest pop of his career by raising
03:56 Bryan's hand, and Cena even has to crowbar a quick Daniel Bryan interview in there, because
04:00 why not, Scripps dared roll with it. And through it all, Daniel Bryan's face. His happy face
04:06 as his home fans did their part in a movement that would steamroll the American Dragon to
04:10 the main event of WrestleMania.
04:12 6. Hell Through The Cell
04:15 There are few matches more synonymous with wrestling than the Hell in a Cell match between
04:18 Mankind and The Undertaker at King of the Ring 98. A perfect blend of character work,
04:23 game changing stunts, iconic commentary and real life and wrestling blurring together
04:27 in heart-stoppingly compelling television. Mick Foley flying from the top of the cell
04:31 through the announce table was planned. Mick Foley being chokeslammed through the cell
04:36 was not. So here's what was supposed to happen. Foley was to take a purposefully weak
04:40 chokeslam on top of the cell. That panel of the cell would buckle, open on one side, and
04:45 Foley would roll through, taking a much softer bump to the ring below. That did not happen.
04:50 Instead, all the cable ties broke, the section of the roof flew open, and Foley took a full
04:54 force drop to the canvas, briefly knocking him out. Much worse for Mick than it should
04:59 have been? Absolutely. Much more memorable and cool looking than the original planned
05:03 spot? Almost definitely.
05:05 5. HBKO
05:07 We can't bloody shut up about Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels' 2008 feud. It's one
05:12 of the best paced, carefully plotted and satisfyingly executed stories in WWE history, featuring
05:17 a whole raft of memorable moments. Jericho smashing Michaels through the Geritron, the
05:21 last proper blade job of the ruthless aggressioneer at the bash, the tug of war of the World Heavyweight
05:26 title at the top of a ladder, and of course, Shawn Michaels' fake retirement at Summerslam
05:31 only to immediately return for WIFE BASED VENGEANCE.
05:35 See Michaels was saying a tearful, cross-eyed goodbye, accompanied by his wife Rebecca,
05:39 when it was interrupted by still the best ever version of Chris Jericho. One thing led
05:43 to another and Y2J swung at HBK, but hit Rebecca instead. It was supposed to be a work punch,
05:48 because yeah, of course it would, but Jericho accidentally hit her flush in the mouth. And
05:53 look, you don't wish for accidents like these, but man, WWE know how to use them when
05:57 they get them. The shot of Rebecca's lip, hugely swollen, a trace of blood on her lip,
06:02 elevated it from an angle that could have felt super corny and poorly acted, into something
06:06 real and awful and wonderful. Backstage after the incident, Chris was understandably bricking
06:12 it until Rebecca said to him in front of everyone, "That the best you got, Jericho. A class
06:16 act."
06:17 4. He caught the Kendo Nothing like a good catch to make a crowd
06:20 go "Way!" I'm reliably informed that cricket and baseball depend on such things
06:25 to stop them from being the world's most boring games. Wrestling's had a fair share
06:28 of "Way!" catches. Lance Storm catching the streamer at WrestleCon, "Way!" Aiden
06:33 English catching a rose thrown by a fan in NXT, "Way!" Bobby Heenan catching Mr.
06:38 Perfect's towel at the 1991 Royal Rumble, "Way!" And best of all, during a random
06:43 match between the Wyatt Family and the Dudley Boys on a December 14th episode of Raw in
06:48 the UK, coincidentally, the best Raw of the year that saw Reigns beat Sheamus for the
06:51 WWE title in the main event, the late great Luke Harper threw down a Kendo stick to the
06:55 mat which bounced up to the outside, Bubba Ray caught it in mid-air and immediately went
06:59 on to use it in a hot fire Kendo attack. It's wonderful. All these catches, just a bunch
07:04 of glorious moments you could never hope to plan, but fill life with accidental joy.
07:09 3. Good God Almighty Taking a break from WWE for a moment and
07:13 looking at a truly wonderful bit of improvisation from New Japan Pro Wrestling's G1 special
07:18 in San Francisco in 2018. For a few years, the official English announce team for New
07:22 Japan's TV show on AXS TV had been good old JR Jim Ross and Josh Barnett, a former
07:27 MMA star and nobody to mess with. Look at him. Oh my goodness. During the show, during
07:32 a match between Juice Robinson, another JR, and J-White, a prick, White suplexed Juice
07:37 into the guardrail which knocked the announce table backwards into Jim Ross, who fell from
07:41 his chair. Josh Barnett then coolly responded "Wow, you done f***ed up now", stood
07:46 up from the announce table and went after J-White who was soaking up nuclear heat. It
07:51 was a mad electric little memory from a match which was so effective and cool that some
07:56 thought the moment was a work, though both JR and Barnett insist it was an unplanned
08:00 real moment.
08:01 2. Till I Collapse ECW is full of happy accidents, its loose
08:06 show structure, heavy reliance on crowd work and its rabidly loyal and loud fanbase created
08:11 a whole bunch of unplanned moments that would define the beloved anarchic promotion. The
08:15 Somebody Throw Me A Chair debacle is a fondly remembered example, as well as moments like
08:19 the Heatwave 99 incident which saw Bubba Ray start a mini riot with his heel crowd baiting
08:23 gosh those angry fans. Gosh. However, perhaps most emblematic of how alive classic ECW shows
08:30 used to be, how fierce a connection they had with their fans, occasionally to the show's
08:35 detriment, would be the fans swarming the ring for a post-match dance party with public
08:38 enemy at a show called Sunshine State Slaughter in 1995. So many fans got into the ring and
08:44 jumped up, jumped up and got down that the ring supports buckled and the whole ring collapsed,
08:50 a perfect example of the sheer crushing love that ECW generated in its heyday.
08:55 1. Making The Man Chris Jericho accidentally struck Rebecca Higginbottom
09:00 and made an amazing moment. Nia Jax accidentally struck Becky Lynch and made a megastar. Nothing
09:06 about Becky Lynch's rise to the top of women's wrestling really went how it was supposed
09:10 to. Becky was supposed to turn heel at Slamma Slam 2018 but got the loudest cheers of the
09:14 night. The main event of Mania 35 was supposed to be Charlotte vs Ronda but Becky got too
09:18 popular to be ignored, and originally Becky was supposed to wrestle and lose to Ronda
09:22 at Survivor Series 2018, but Nia Jax punched her face open on Raw and the match was cancelled
09:28 at the last minute. It ended up being a glorious accident. Not only did it mean that the Ronda/Becky
09:33 match got pushed back, allowing more hype to build, more trash talking on Twitter, but
09:37 that shot of Becky, defiant, sporting a very much broken face but still standing amongst
09:42 her fans, triumphant, it was more nakedly heroic and badass than any scripted WWE babyface
09:49 underdog comeback spot or LOL my opponent's poopy promo could ever manage. Sheer swagger,
09:55 a career best visual, born of one errant punch to the face. And sometimes, wrestling's
10:00 just like that. The best laid schemes of mice and the man, gang after glay.
