Years before the mainstream companies manufactured it, Sabu and Too Cold Scorpio actually BROKE the ring on a superplex. Watch the ropes and near right ring post on and after impact.
Even more incredible, they went 5 more mins & finished the match.
From (I think): MWCW, 6-11-94

We've all been impressed by how quickly Excalibur can read through an upcoming card on AEW television, but this Starrcade 1984 commercial I've unearthed proves the originator and perfector of pro wrestling speed-reading is none other than the great Tony Schiavone!

Have you seen the viral screenshot/meme from WCW Nitro where the fan walking down the stairs in the background looks like he peed his pants?
I saw the video footage of it for the first time since that's been made popular and it's just as bad as it looks.

This shot of Danny DeVito & Joe Piscopo enjoying wrestling at MSG has been used in recap videos, especially because it was the night of the "War To Settle The Score".
What was going on that made Danny so happy? This was taken at the opening bell of Hillbilly Jim vs. Rene Goulet.

We all remember Mike Tyson yelling out "Cold Stone Is The Man!" in support of Stone Cold Steve Austin at the 1998 Royal Rumble, but I had no idea he just... kept doing it.
Nine weeks later, "Cold Stone" surfaced again at the WrestleMania 14 post-show press conference.
