Slapstick Saturday presents: From beer to eternity...

Welcome to another edition of "Slapstick Saturday," Cagesiders, where your old pal Hulk Holland pokes fun at every botch, blooper and bomb the world of professional wrestling has ever given us.

What, you thought "Stone Cold" Steve Austin drank beer for the taste?

Silly little newbie.

In the old days of WWF, hardcore matches were a staple of almost every broadcast. It should come as no surprise, then, to learn they often spilled into the back as an excuse to find new and innovative ways to deliver big spots. Anything lying around the arena was fair game.

Including beer suds.

During a hardcore match between The Acolytes and The Hollys, Viscera was scheduled to come tear-assing out of the back to interfere, complete with a 2x4, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan style. But instead of Hoooooooe! It was Whoaaaaaaaa!" Big Vis" was about 500 pounds and once that train leaves the station, well, see for yourself.

Credit to the big man. He sure is nimble for a guy that wears a tent like it's Under Armour. Michelob 3:16 says, I just slipped and fell on my ass!
