From my actual understanding and what I've heard of ECW it seems like all of this would most likely happen in the first five minuets of the match lol. I never watched it because the images I've seen are to Extreme for me, but I respect the stars that were involved.

Of all the spots in wrestling, the spot that makes me cringe the hardest is the tacs. Every time someone gets slammed or fall on them I have to look away

The tacks were gimmicked/fake at RR2000 for HHH-Cactus :/

[@trailerparkchief]

Tacks aren't bad. I've been thrown in tacks by TNA' s Abyss 4 times now. Worst part is pulling one out of your head.

[@malkomalkavian]

Yeah, tacks aren't too bad, there is a hard limit on how badly they can injure you (unless one went in your eye or something.) Quite a lot of fairly standard bumps are more worrying for your health :)

When you think about it, wwe has been PG 90% of its existence, it was only adult oriented between 97 and 2007-ish

Middle Cast well technically no, is is more like 1/4 or so because wwwf, wwf and wwe are all the same

Great Video idea. Love your content

[@blacktytrix]

Look at 2:10 and listen to what he says. "little to no protection from a handcuffed ciampa isn't nice". Your welcome.

[@SLJR16]

The Orton Lesnar match really makes me question WWE’s thought process. They claim to care about concussions and wrestler safety, yet let Lesnar hammer away at his head. They also say “no blood” yet let Orton get busted open. I get they were going for shock factor, but it’s things like that that doesn’t make sense. You’re telling me we can’t let wrestlers blade at an event like Hell in a Cell, yet we can intentionally bust someone open the hard way at the 2nd biggest show of the year? Yeah ok. That makes perfect sense

[@cole9777]

It's only because Lesnar is a dollar-tree quality champ and for some reason many people still love him, year he shows up like 10 times a fucking year. If they didn't have Lesnar pound on Randy's head, then people wouldn't look at Lesnar as being a beast because Randy is a lean dude and if he beat the "champ" then all the Brock fans would be flipping out.

[@paulcharpentier5613]

All the respect in the world to Shane for doing these bumps. He never has to risk a thing in life, but he chose to earn it the hard way.

Cena vs Lesnar @Summerslam was a very shocking one man

[@lebutzki]

I just love the concept that at 7:20 the picture of Shane returning took place at Joe Louis Arena, one of the last shows that took place there in Detroit, and the fall from the cage at Hell In A Cell took place at the first ever show at the LCA Arena, 8 blocks away from The Joe, 18 months later. Kind of came full circle

[@octodad7326]

I was at the extreme rules where dean faced Jericho and this little boy in front of me was honestly scared that Jericho was going to die if he got slammed into the tacs, he kept saying to his mom "he is gonna die mom he is gonna die!" It was an amazing moment
