Loss Posted August 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 This is that match. The Luger-Norton stuff is pretty fast-paced and better than you'd think, even though it doesn't last long. Steiner botches a top rope bulldog and Bagwell can't move. Luger and Steiner break character and stay in the ring by his side. Back from commercial and Bagwell is still laid out. The WCW guys are gone but Norton and Vincent are helping get Bagwell on a stretcher, and the show stops dead in its tracks. Schiavone and Tenay do a really good job handling this, and Heenan, perhaps because neck injuries are a soft spot for him, leaves the broadcast booth to check on him. This is tough to watch, but it's a reminder that wrestlers are people too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soup23 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I thought this was one if those hidden gem matches someone had dug up until the finish happened and I remembered that this fit the time line. The Luger vs buff sequences were well done and actually made me think a ppv match of them two wouldn't be that bad. The injury was unfortunate and everyone handled it as well as could be expected.

PeteF3 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Are there more examples of Norton the big bump machine? I've never seen him this active before. The match isn't bad nor is it good but of course none of this is really the story here. Bagwell's head collides with Rick's back in a pretty horrific scene and Thunder is held up for close to a half hour so Bagwell can be immobilized and removed from the ring. Schiavone does an excellent job during this, bringing to mind Michael Cole after Jerry Lawler went into cardiac arrest on Raw. I'm also somewhat relieved that the South Carolina crowd remained rather well-behaved during this delay--some other crowds might not have been so patient.

TravJ1979 Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Bagwell legit hurt. Everybody is concerned until, you know, he pops up out of the wheelchair still an nWo member later in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 I'd never seen this before. Bagwell's head extending backwards after ramming into Rick's back, frightening. The show comes to a halt, and the updates leave you thinking the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
