The Madusa Stunt

The infamous stunt where Madusa dumps the WWF Women's Championship (the real title, too) in a trash bin at the 18th December, 1995 edition of WCW Monday Night Nitro.

The guy on the far left (from our point of view) doesn't really care but look at Bobby "The Brain" Heenan (the man on our right) and Steve McMichael (the man in the middle) and look at their reactions. That shows you how big it was back then. Bobby looks like he's been shocked too and McMichael is both shocked and awed at the proximity of the title belt and what just happened.

The commentators had no idea that this was going to happen.

Listen at the 7 second mark very closely:
Heenan: "What the (inaudible)hell (pronounced h) are you doing here?Heenan does nothing but stare at Madusa and McMichael looks confused but also very curious.

When Madusa brings out the title belt, even the guy on the left goes "woah" When she actually drops it, McMichael is so much in shock that he mucks up his words: "Madusa, the WWF Women's championship in the belt right here..." There's a botch right there.

Afterwards McMichael picks up the championship while Heenan looks over his shoulder while the guy on the left, who never really cared that much in the first place just goes on like nothing happened and the rest quickly pull themselves back to the broadcast. If it weren't for that guy on the left, they would probably have been incapable of moving on with the show for at least a minute or so.

This was really a moment.

Ironically, if this stunt never happened, there may have never been the Montreal Screwjob, sicne this stunt meant that Vince couldn't rule out anything when it come to WCW. Then again, it may still have happened.

Honestly,, she is the reason the Montreal Screwjob happened. Vince thought Bret would do the same and wouldn't take a chance, even if Bret promised he wouldn't.

I honestly feel sorry for Madusa. Her situation was either to sell out and become a part of the "divas division" which we was about t and A, or go to WCW which they respected women (for a few years) where she was forced to throw the belt, or be fired from WCW. It isn't an easy decision.

Either sell her soul to a company that won't respect her, or go to a company that would actually respect her.

She's probably the best home-grown female wrestler, so her vs beth would be a classic

LOL@Heenan at the end

[MauroCV97]

She should of stayed in the kitchen instead of going to WCW

[Jordanfly88]

And this bitch is calling out the divas champion Beth Phoenix? I hope this slut never shows in the wwe again

would love her to drop it to Beth. At least that one is awesome unlike that POS Diva's belt.

@ElectricMVx It clearly meant a lot less to Eric Bischoff.
