What was WWE Thinking Putting Bart Gunn In a Shoot Match With Butterbean?

[seemorecizzy]

i remember this shyt when i was young, but looking back as an adult got me going

They put him in there with a professionalyl trained boxer with an significant weight advantage.

This fight would of never been sanctioned by any sanctioning body in North America

They let butterbean go over and then he was never seen in the company ever again, wtf was the point

Those shots he took could of killed him or caused severe brain damage, i can only imagine the type of waivers they made him sign before stepping into the ring

This is like putting deontay Wilder in a shoot boxing match with Roman Reigns

My best guess is that this was punishment for Gunn knocking out Dr. Death since they wanted him to win it, but I doubt anyone will ever get a straight answer from the people in charge of this ridiculous thing

 

[The Great One]

Because he won a legit shoot fight tournament with people who had fighting credentials?

That's pretty much it right here lol.
Bart fukked up the plans by going over (in a shoot no less) and paid the price after

They were better off just scripting the damn Brawl for All if they wanted Dr. Death to go over

Punishing the guy for winning a shoot fight he wasn’t supposed to is one of the most WWE things possible. I’m pretty sure JR was behind that too since it was his boy who got slumped, killing all major plans for him. Instead of just giving Bart Gunn a push towards like the IC title or something just off winning that tournament they feed him to Butterbean as punishment.

why exactly did WWF try and get into shoot fighting

UFC was still kinda of an unknown/obscure spectacle. Was it to compete with boxing?
