10 Most embarrassing live TV moments in Pro-Wrestling 

#10 Behold the advent of the dangerous, deadly SHOCKMASTER

The Shockmaster's entrance proves the difficulty of recording live programming.

One of the umpteen million times Ric Flair has 'retired' occurred in the early 1990s. The Nature Boy was looking to take some time off from taking wrestling bumps, but WCW still wanted to capitalize on his celebrity.

Thus, they created the Flair for the Gold segment just for him. Much like Piper's Pit, the whole point was for Flair to interview hot superstars and help them build momentum for their feuds, title matches, etc.

However, there was one moment that stands out in wrestling history as quite significant. In fact, it's widely regarded as the most hilarious and unexpected botches in wrestling history--the WCW debut of Fred Ottman, AKA the Shockmaster!

Ottman had a great run in WWE, where he feuded with Hulk Hogan and reigned as tag team champion as part of the Natural Disasters along with Earthquake.

Obviously, WCW could not use his names Tugboat or Typhoon because of copyright issues. They also wanted to make the somewhat soft looking (though Ottman was anything but soft) talent and make him more menacing.

Someone had the bright idea to glitter spray paint a Stormtrooper helmet and dub in an electronically deepened voice for Ottman.

He was supposed to smash through a wall and terrify the gathered heels. Instead...well, you can just watch the video and see for yourself.
