Going off script

Glico Man · 2016-04-17 03:36:20

I have a random question/thought that popped into my head today... Has a wrestler ever gone off script, along with whoever he's facing, and changed the ending/winner of the match? And if so, what happened to them with management? Imagine, if you will, Brock wasn't set to beat Undertaker at mania, but Taker mid-match hurts…

Yeah, sorry for bringing up the Mike Levy thing. The police got involved but no charges followed because of the "hey, it was all part of the show" kinda thing.

Looking back over the Attitude era/ECW/NWO stuff, it hasn't aged well; all of that worked shoot stuff they did with "insider" terms used to create the effect of someone having gone off script.

A lot of the Attitude Era hasn't aged that well for me. It's probably due in part to the fact that today's roster put on such great matches, and for me that rules over shocking angles always.

Didn't Flair say in his book that he deliberately lost a match he was supposed to win for the NWA title down in Puerto Rico or somewhere to avoid a riot that would have happened if the local hero didn't win?
