00:00This business of professional wrestling is not always that, which leads us to ask who
00:04is the most unprofessional wrestler and why is it the ghost of 90s Shawn Michaels?
00:09Lots of wrestlers have lost their minds and tried to injure their opponents in the ring,
00:13which makes no sense, it's very unprofessional, but we already did a whole list on that, so
00:17you be professional and go and watch that, for the sake of not boring you fine folk with
00:22repeating content, which is why the Montreal Screwjob, JBL beating up the Blue Media One
00:26Night Stand 2005, The Rock nearly killing Mick Foley at the Royal Rumble, Shawn Michaels
00:30overselling for Hulk Hogan at Summer's, Lamperi sat and beating up the job as I hardly fell in love
00:33with a f***ing mop. They won't be on this list, we promise. Please, leave us alone. Instead,
00:39we're talking about other moments of wrestlers being deeply, deeply unprofessional and it turns out
00:44there's just loads more we could talk about. Kinda makes you sad, really. I'm Adam Haling from Parts
00:49Fun Known and these are the 10 most unprofessional wrestling moments ever caught on camera. And you
00:54know what's really unprofessional? Not subscribing to Parts Fun Known. Do, do it. Please, thank you.
01:02Number 10, Charlotte Flair drops the belt. Well, what in the blooming hell was this? How do you make
01:08a championship exchange segment even more unwatchable? This is how. Alright context,
01:13Charlotte Flair was Raw Women's Champion, Becky Lynch was SmackDown Women's Champion, both were drafted
01:17to opposite brands because WWE simply can't help themselves. A championship exchange was scheduled for
01:22the main event of SmackDown so the two champions could make sure their prop belts were color
01:27coordinated. The plan was for Becky Lynch to grab Charlotte's belt and declare herself Becky
01:31two belts as she'd done at WrestleMania 35, but Charlotte decided she wasn't gonna have that.
01:37Charlotte went against the script, pulling away from Lynch and dropping the belt to the mat.
01:41Charlotte wasn't done causing a ruckus on this night as when Sasha Banks came out for her part in
01:45the segment, Charlotte once again went off script, interjecting and putting some heat back on
01:49herself. This all led to a heated confrontation between Lynch and Flair backstage with Charlotte
01:53being escorted out of the building. Again, it's just, it's a sad situation.
01:58And what the blooming hell? Number 9, Bret Hart's Sunny Day.
02:02Shawn Michaels may be the biggest sh** disturber WWE has ever had in the main event scene. There could be
02:07any number of 90s HBK moments on this list. His tantrum during his match with Vader at Summerslam 96,
02:13keeping a lollipop in his mouth while Ken Shamrock had him in the ankle lock,
02:16all those times he wore those f**king shorts all come to mind, but the creme de la creme of show
02:22stopping douchebaggery has to be his infamous Sunny Days comment aimed at Bret Hart. Enough has been
02:27said about Bret and Shawn's personal rivalry, but when you make a public comment on Raw insinuating
02:32that Hart was having an affair with Sonny, causing him great stress with his home life,
02:35perhaps you've achieved your place as the most unprofessional wrestler, Shawn. Especially
02:39cause apparently Shawn Michaels was the one having Sunny Days. But that's just, that's a legend.
02:44Number 8, Austin Aries walks out of Bound for Glory 2018. A classic example of why you shouldn't
02:50always let it play out. Austin Aries has certainly developed a reputation for being
02:54a tad difficult to work with. He's been in and out of nearly every top promotion in the United States,
02:58and in 2018, he found himself in Impact Wrestling as Impact World Champion. After losing the title to
03:03Johnny, Mundo, Morrison, Hennigan, Nitro, Impact in the main event of Bound for Glory 2018, Aries popped to
03:09his feet, completely no-selling the finish to the match, spit at Morrison before yelling obscenities
03:14towards the Impact top brass, flipping them off and storming out of the promotion never to return.
03:19There were many who thought this was a work where Aries would return to the promotion a later date,
03:22but here we are with the clock having ticked past three years and it doesn't seem he's coming back.
03:27Number 7, Randy Orton is Stupid
03:29Imagine the alternate timeline where Kofi Mania took place at WrestleMania 26, if only he hadn't forgotten the
03:35finish of this one match. Kofi is supposed to stay down and get punted by Randy Orton,
03:40but he forgot and stumbled to his feet. Unfortunately for him, this small mistake
03:44basically killed his entire push, a Money in the Bank win at Mania, because Randy Orton hit a
03:49particularly frustrated RKO on him before yelling stupid. Of course, Randy could have just reminded
03:54Kofi of the spot and then hit it, not sure throwing a fit on camera and killing the biggest push of a
04:00young talent was entirely necessary. Orton has had several outbursts on camera over the years,
04:04flipping off the fans at Night of Champions 2011, giving the old space ball salute at Hell in the
04:09Cell 2009 and taking a big swing at Mr. Kennedy after Kennedy dropped him on the back of his head
04:13accidentally. Although that one's maybe a bit more understandable. What happened after it wasn't
04:18though. Oh Randy, please don't kill me. Number 6, Oklahoma Well here is some bullsh**. There is
04:26quality heel heat and then there is mean-spirited trash like this. Jim Ross is a talented and well-respected
04:31man in general. Furthermore, he was an executive and commentator for WWE and not at all relevant to
04:36what was happening on WCW in 1999 when Ed Ferraro went out on Nitro doing a highly disrespectful
04:42impression of Ross called Oklahoma, complete with a scrunched up face and southern accent.
04:46Ferraro mocked Ross' Bell's palsy which had recently nearly ended his career because that is
04:51a super cool thing to do to another human being that, again, has nothing to do with your f*****ing TV
04:56show. The whole thing is just gross. Ferrara and Vince Russo had come from WWE where they had
05:01butted heads with Ross because, well, Ross understands wrestling and Russo checks notes,
05:06didn't. This is peak unprofessional behaviour in WCW which was the meeting place of the
05:10unprofessional wrestlers coalition. See also Bash at the Beach 2000.
05:14Number 5, Bob Holly beats up Matt Capitelli. The more barbaric ways of wrestling training seem
05:19to be a thing of the past. That is a good thing with the horror stories you hear from wrestlers of
05:23generations past. The hazing culture of wrestling saw many trainers break the bones of their trainees
05:28just to make the point of, you need to be, quote, tough, quotes, enough to make it in the business.
05:33While wrestling is very difficult, yes, virtually everyone involved in the third season of Tough
05:38Enough agreed that Bob Holly's treatment of Matt Capitelli was incredibly excessive. Holly was
05:43described as being stressed following his broken neck and took out his aggression on Capitelli,
05:47who would spend that day being excessively jovial in training. A true crime in WWE locker rooms.
05:52How dare he? Holly decimated Capitelli, booting him in the jaw and again in the eye,
05:56leaving his face bruised, bloody and swollen. It is incredibly gross and a remnant of a past
06:02generation that belongs in the past. Number 4, Wendy Richter vs the Spider Lady.
06:06The Montreal Screwjob could very easily be on this list and falls under the category of everything
06:10Shawn Michaels did in the 90s and also the category of things we talk about way too much.
06:14This one, on the other hand, can make an appearance because, well, it is the original Screwjob
06:18after all. Vince McMahon wanted to get the WWF Women's Championship off Wendy Richter because
06:23she started asking questions about why she wasn't being paid similar to Hulk Hogan. And obviously,
06:27you've just got to go at that point. See, also, Ultimate Warrior. To get the title off her, Vince
06:31put the Fabulous Mooler in a full bodysuit calling her the Spider Lady. To this day, I'm not sure how
06:35you could wrestle a match with 62-year-old Fabulous Mooler and not know it was her, but I digress. In a more
06:41traditional Screwjob where the audience isn't supposed to know that any tomfoolery was taking place,
06:45Mooler pinned Richter and did not let her up before being unmasked and then sort of just wandering
06:50away and everything is really awkward and bad. This is also totally unnecessary and by today's
06:55standards, it's ridiculous that these measures had to be taken where you could just, I don't know,
06:58pay your top women's staff better because, like, you're putting her in all the cartoons. Just don't
07:04be a dick. Number three, Ivelisse vs Thunder Rosa. Ivelisse is a pretty damn good wrestler but collects
07:09drama like a seagull collects chips from unsuspecting tourists. Stories of backstage conflict
07:13involving Ivelisse have abounded in promotions including Shine, Lucha Underground, WCPW,
07:18but the most public being the heat surrounding her departure from AEW. Ivelisse was released from
07:23the company in April this year after backstage fallout and ill-feeling, some of which stemmed
07:27all the way back to a match months before between Ivelisse and Thunder Rosa on the September 16th
07:31episode of Dynamite. The match was mostly great and very hard-hitting, although it's since come out
07:35that the reason why it was so stiff was that both women were displeased after Ivelisse objected to
07:39Rosa being the one to lead the match. For the most part, the beef is hidden, or at least disguised
07:43as kayfabe violence, but there's no hiding one moment of obvious unprofessionalism from Ivelisse.
07:48Rosa rolls her to the match, where Ivelisse just sits there, pissed off, wiping the hair from her
07:53eyes, almost shrugging, just waiting to be put in a full Nelson. A kayfabe-shattering display.
07:59Number two, New Jack vs Mass Transit. Oh, oh. New Jack's appeared on a whole bunch of our
08:04list of wrestlers doing just the worst things, mostly for his horrifying attack on Vic Grimes,
08:09but by golly he does this sort of thing so much it still necessitates a spot on this one,
08:13specifically for the equally horrific Mass Transit incident. The infamous story goes that Eric Kulas
08:18lied about his age, falsified his documentation to get booked on an ECW show as a replacement for
08:22Axl Rotten, working under the name Mass Transit. In reality, the 17-year-old was not trained and went to
08:28the ring to wrestle New Jack, which is the wrestling equivalent of an overzealous teenager climbing into a
08:33tiger exhibit at the local zoo to check his f***ing dental work. Also, the tiger might have been nicer
08:38than New Jack. Mass Transit was going to bleed in the match and New Jack took the liberty of taking
08:43care of that for him, cutting his head with an exacto knife. The whole match saw New Jack and ECW
08:47being taken to court for assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. If that doesn't scream
08:51not a professional, then I don't know what does. And number one, Victory Road.
08:56Jeff Hardy has for the most part conquered his famous demons, except that really weird one that has a
09:00kink for umbrellas. But there's no two ways about it. Wrestling is really f***ing dangerous. At the
09:04best of times, when everyone's on the ball, doing the job to the best of their abilities,
09:08accidents can still happen that carry disastrous consequences. So showing up to wrestle intoxicated
09:13is pretty much the most unprofessional thing a wrestler can do. Alicia Fox showed up too
09:16inebriated to perform at a WWE house show and that was really bad. Alberto El Patron once showed
09:21up to a WCPW show drunk and had to be pulled from the card at the last minute. Can confirm
09:26I was there. But Jeff Hardy showed up to wrestle in the main event of a TNA pay-per-view, visibly
09:31far gone, in no shape to compete and it tops them all. At Victory Road 2011, Jeff Hardy was set to
09:37face Sting, but got high, drunk or both backstage. He stumbled down to the ring so clearly out of it
09:43that referee Earl Hebner almost immediately threw up the X. Eric Bischoff came out to stall for time
09:48because everyone was panicking. Sting was forced to pin Jeff Hardy hardway amidst cries of bulls**t,
09:53to which Sting responds, on camera, I agree. No one really looks good from this story. Not Jeff,
09:59not Dixie Carter, who refused backstage to pull the match. It's just a really sad day
10:03for unprofessional wrestling. And that's our list. What do you consider to be the most
10:07unprofessional moment in professional wrestling? Let us know and don't forget to like and share
