EDIT: Am I evil for laughing at line like this: "Lex Luger is apparently paralyzed after suffering a spinal stroke. And somewhere out there, a member of Elizabeth's family is glad they bought that Voodoo doll."
or this: "But still, to think there may have been warning signs. And not just Jim Ross basically telling us that the noble Atlanta Wolverine (indigenous to the climate no doubt) had RABIES. Fuck this steroid shit! Someone find the animal that bit Chris before it strikes again!"
Here's the famous "Mass Transit Incident" from the orginal ECW. Skip to 4:45 if you just want to see the gushing blood, but I recommend you watch the whole match, especially if you've never seen this type of wrestling.
