 What's good Josh boros back again with another video, so we're gonna check out 10 wrestlers force to improvise on the fly Sometimes in wrestling you got to improvise something happens injury happens or a spot wasn't you know Planned or whatever and you got to compensate for it or maybe you're running low on time And you got to go to a commercial record to show about the answer You got to speed up the process got speed up the spots and stuff like that. It's just it's wrestling That's what makes it such a difficult task to be able to do it live because you got to pretty much be precise and you know Sometimes things happen. So we're gonna check out some of these moments where wrestlers had to improvise on the fly Shout out to wrestling flashback great great content creator dope wrestling videos Definitely go check them out been subscribed for quite some time link to the original video. We'll be down below The live nature of resting sometimes requires wrestlers to deviate from the original plan This usually happens because of an injury a bodge or due to something unexpected We'll look at examples of all three today as we list 10 wrestlers who improvised following unexpected moments First we'll look at how a referee saved the day after a bad injury this occurred during the second night of WrestleMania 39 With a miss took on a surprise opponent who was revealed by Snoop Dogg to be a returning Shane McMahon Almost immediately Shane landed badly after a leapfrog Shano Mack had torn his quad and was in no shape to continue leading to the referee Jessica Some were saying it was knee related. So I'm saying quad match and Snoop Dogg into the ring from there Snoop was told by a cameraman to punch out miz With the ref then telling Snoop to hit the people's elbow. Oh Wow Great reaction before going to win the match while the people's elbow He hit may have been questionable. Yeah, dog did a great job stepping in and entertains crazy Snoop dogs Championship belt in my opinion looks better than the ones we have on on the main roster It does bro. That's it look cool In the crowd and credit to the referee for showing fantastic improvisation that ultimately saved Look at a case where someone that wasn't in the match Improvised after an injury to one of their friends the matching questions saw Chris Benoit and Erika Ero team with the NWO to take on RDD Booker T Goldus Bubba and Spike Dudley in a 10-man tag match at one point Kevin Ash ran across the ring only to collapse the mat Telling his quad as a result. This was ironic given what he said earlier in the night Clear The rest of the competitors began brawling in the ring while Earl Hebner Bubba Ray stood around Nash to make sure no one went near him since Kev was badly hurt Short Michaels who'd been on the outside for all of the match got in the ring and began directing traffic telling big show to distract the Referee while HPK hit Booker with a superkick show then made the cover before Michaels reminded him to hit the chokesam to finish the match Giving the NWO the victory the rest has responded well following the injury Now this would be as they move to a later. That's that's what you call professionalism at his finest I'm pretty sure maybe some people knew but there's so much chaos going on. You're not realizing You know I'm saying that's what you call professionalism at his finest, bro A spot in the match straight away Meanwhile, there was great initiative shown from Bubba Dudley who protected Nash in the corner While short Michaels improvised by hitting Booker with the superkick and telling show to end things with the chokesam But already they showed more good improvisation in our next example by making the most of a botch caused by someone outside the ring This went down on the rule after WrestleMania 32 in about that's what the Dudley boys Wrestle the Usos in a tables match. The Dudley's were heels at the time So instead of to get the tables spot they told the crowd to screw themselves The finish came when the Usos each missed their signature splash sending them both through the tables below However, the timekeeper rang the bell too early leading people to believe the match was over But a tables match can only end when someone has put their opponent through a table with an offensive maneuver Which is exactly what D-Von did to Jimmy Uso to officially win the match Boba Ray saw the botch as the perfect opportunity to heal it up as he hilariously Berated the timekeeper for ringing the bell Boba used the botch to his advantage ensuring things turned out even better than they would have had the bell ringer not jumped the gun It's extremely rare for wrestlers to not know the finish to their match by the time the bell rings However, this problem arose at the taboo Tuesday 2004 pay-per-view where Chris Joe damn y'all remember taboo Tuesday where you could quote-unquote choose the match and stipulation man That crazy time Jericho was set to defend his intercontinental title against an opponent voted on by the fans who had 15 wrestlers to choose from This was the first WWE fan interactive pay-per-view of this kind So not all the potential scenarios were accounted for this included Shelton Benjamin being chosen as Jericho's opponent as the WWE Believed Batista was going to win the vote after winning the polls Shelton immediately came out now that he nor Jericho Were given any instruction until they were both This meant everything they did was improvised including the finish where Benjamin won following a t-bone suplex as revealed in his second book Jericho didn't even know what Shelton's finisher was so he just jumped into the air and let Benjamin do the rest going into that match Wow on the fly didn't know it was winning until Jericho didn't kick out He didn't even know we got chose he didn't know Benjamin winning proved to be the right decision as it showed the fans that their vote counted and could even lead to a new champion being And that's that's actually smart booking. It's it's very dangerous But Sheldon Benjamin not knowing because they were probably expecting Batista and it'll be in Sheldon And I'm guessing maybe Jericho already knew whoever got picked was gonna win the match regardless But he didn't tell him and that's crazy. It can't it gives off that real vibe like oh shit I actually won this like that's pretty cool. And it gives the fans at the time Oh shit our votes actually matter It can decide who could be the champion you want you want to be able to give now You want people to check in to a specific pay-per-view because all you can choose bro We a lot of people chose and he ended up winning like it's on the voting remain legit for all future fan interactive events However, the WWE implemented ways to better control the outcome such as by giving people fewer options to choose from Based on each possible scenario an example was supposed to be a routine squash match Wwe implemented ways to lead to a new champion being crowned the voting remain legit for all future fan interactive Okay, however, the WWE implemented ways to better control the outcome such as by giving people fewer options to choose from And by planning out matches based on each possible scenario Our next example was supposed to be a routine squash match as Lex Luga fought six foot ten 400 pound wrestler named roadblock on an episode of 1996 Lex was to finish the match. I'm sorry. That's just a funny name comes out there with the roadblock sign My name is roadblock With his torturac submission, but he failed to get his opponent up for the move Luga had gotten big wrestlers up for the torturac before but roadblock presented a unique challenge since he was both tall and wide Luga signaled for a second torturac, but he once again failed to execute the move I want to get me in the rack the first time and he couldn't get me up. He said brother. What the hell we can't do this I said, no, brother. We'll do it. I said to him in the ring. Let's do it again I'll get up feeding off the energy of the crowd Lex attempted the rack for the third time finally proving successful Luga submitted roadblock to get the win as the fans went wild Luga would later state that this was the hardest torturac he ever had to pull off Lex could have easily given up and tried something else But he was able to use the audience to his advantage It was great to see the fans reaction build and build after each attempt leading to an awesome moment once Lex Eventually performed the maneuver this next match also features a botch finisher only with a far worse improvised outcome as Mickey James defended the Divas title against Gale Kim on the august 2009 rule the match's time was cut before they went out So by the time we're supposed to go out there they cut it to like three minutes Oh, the girls had to quickly rush through all their spots Things began to fall apart after Gale Kim landed hard on her face when she missed the cross body Oh, he then went to hit a finisher which ended up being botched due to Gale Kim still being out of it And to that the fact that women were tired following the fast-paced match James then went to hit the mick kick But failed to make contact instead of You can tell she's not she once she landed Her face. She's not there. She's not Visibly there really simply upset Mickey waited a bit before going for the cover making for an awkward final few moments Then after winning the match Mickey barely celebrated the victory her face said it all There was no hiding her frustration over the botched ending James was reportedly chewed out backstage following the match The higher-ups weren't pleased with how she handled the botch They didn't like the improvised forearm finish all the way Mickey reacted on camera as we've seen already an injury has the potential to derail a match That's why it's usually best to end the bout straight away rather than risking further damage Eugene learned this the hard way when he and William Regal defended the world tag team titles against christian and tyson tomko at new years Revolution 2005 following a hot tag Eugene stopped the top rope attack from christian But in doing so Eugene appeared to partially tear his patella tendon He then fully tore his patella after attempting a drop kick. Eugene tried to keep going but was unable to stand Resulting in christian telling his partner tomko to work on regal giving Eugene the opportunity to perform a roll-up from behind To get the win Eugene was out of action for six months as a result of the injury Hardcore holly is no stranger to resting following an injury and one of the most famous examples of this occurred during a match On smackdown in june of 2000 against kerr angle holly suggested kerr hit a moonsault since angle would usually go for it Oh my god Kerr had never successfully hit the move on anyone before so he was unsure if he could do it holly insisted But once it came time to perform the manoeuvre holly was too far out to make contact angle failed to get enough distance As his legs came down on hardcore's right arm breaking it in the process Oh my god Immediately end the match first by going for the cover only for holly to kick out and then by going for the olympic slam However, hardcore would counter despite his arm nearly hanging off holly continued the cool spot I was talking about and he wanted to lead the match because he had a broken arm and he was limited The two men eventually improvised the finish where angle gave bob a low blow followed by an olympic sam for the three So far we looked at how the likes of injuries and bodies of applied improvisation But now we'll look at what happens when the ring malfunctions this happened at no mercy 2000 Out there with a broken arm still work. You gotta love the business to do that And to during chris jericho and christian's world tag title defense versus booger tea and goldest during the match Jericho went to springboard off the ropes however the middle turnbuckle snapped clean off The rest says continued as normal with jericho hitting goldest with a bulldog onto the title belt However, given the situation with the broken second rope priss was unable to perform the lion salt Which was the intended finish of the match why do jay instead scaled the broken ropes to do a moonsault Which gave him and christian the win jericho has to be commended for how well he handled What could a good improvisation bro like good thinking on your feet? Well, I can't do the lion salt So I got to do this, you know, that's that's good ring awareness knowing what to do Been a match-killing botch as he still gave us a cool finish despite the tough circumstances Lastly, we'll look at how improvising when they weren't supposed to can get a wrestler in trouble This happened during the height of wwe scripted promo era where triple agent Stephanie McMahon would cut long promos At the beginning of every show and sometimes even skull rusters The same formula was set to be repeated on the september 30th episode of raw in 2013 As hunter and Stephanie came to the ring to call out the rose family who they'd been feuding with at the time All three roads were insulted before dusty got in triple h's face While at the same time putting his hand in front of Stephanie who quickly swiped rose arm away Stephanie was legitimately angry after this incident as it was the second time dusty had gone off script during a segment with her As two weeks prior dusty had gotten in Stephanie's face Not allowing her to talk to him like she had done to so many wrestlers before and would continue to do in the future Following these two segments dusty was rarely given a speaking role on tv again Due to his off-the-cuff promos that went against the company's policy of scripting dialogue word for word Dusty's natural old-school approach was a breath of fresh air compared to the more formulaic So i remember this from wwe at the time and that brings us to I remember that watching that That that was so good to see Because at that point the authority was running rampant Stephanie was running rampant And she was always just disrespecting everybody So it was cool to see someone going off script like dusty because he's old school Like he had bullet points in you know script So it was cool to see that him like nah, don't you interrupt like that was cool. That should have been something the little You know it's in the hands of the face who you talking don't talk to me like that That is what makes wrestling great That's what make wrestling back then so believable because it didn't come off as scripted it came off as Someone's really feeling the way they feel and they're saying the things they say because they believe it Rest in peace dusty, man. That was an interesting feud. I remember watching that promo segment I thought it was dope now. I understand why they didn't really want him talking afterwards, man But hey comment down below.
