Fights That Went Completely The Other Way

Let's not forget, everyone's favorite, Khan vs. Prescott.

Yeah and speaking of WWF, I certainly didn't pick Bart Gunn to win the Brawl for All boxing tournament. And I never saw the point of him then having to fight Butterbean at Wrestlemania only to get knocked out in the second round.

It's just a shame McMahon never challenged the Klit bros.

Yeah, he could've hit them with chair shots when the ref wasn't looking and then had them join his "kiss my a$$ club."

Second round? He was knocked out in like a minute, probably less.

Oh yeah, I must be thinking of when Holyfield TKO'd Matt Hardy on Saturday Night's Main Event. Anyway, that tournament was considered disastrous, because hardly any of those guys had any boxing experience and the most legit tough guy in it, Doctor Death Steve Williams, got injured early on, so that took some of the fun out of it. But having the winner fight an experienced boxer, albeit not a top one, was a huge mistake. It lead to Gunn being let go, even though it wasn't his idea or fault.

You forget when Buster Douglas knocked out Randy Savage

This is accurate, you definitely know your stuff. But I don't think Dr. Death was injured, he was legitimately knocked out by Bart Gunn. Dr. Death was the favorite to win and he was going work a main event program with Stone Cold afterwards. But he got knocked out so his tough guy image was gone, so they let him go.

And WWF could have made a big star out of Bart Gunn if they didn't put him in there against Butterbean.

Brawl for all was just a big waste. No pay off, just a bunch of injuries. One of Vince Russo's "brilliant" ideas.
