Losing is part of the wrestling business.

Everyone has to do it at some point.

No worker can stroll through the industry forever without at least one mark in the L column

and convincing independent contractors to do business or see things a certain way, must

be one of the bigger challenges facing promoters.

With that in mind, I'm Adam Wilborn from Whatculture and these are 10 unique ways wrestlers

were convinced to lose matches.

Warrior Wants to Sell Comic Books

The ultimate warrior was a weird bloke to say the least.

Eric Bischoff once revealed on his 83 week show that initial discussions with the man were

less about actually wrestling and more about potential opportunities.

Basically, Warrior wanted assurances that he'd be able to promote and sell his comic books.

Losing to Hulk Hogan, that wasn't a problem.

The old WrestleMania 6 rivals would go on to have one of the worst rematches in wrestling

history at WCW's Halloween Havoc 1998 pay-per-view.

Warrior didn't give a toss about that, the guy just wanted to know that merch items would

be available at the table.

In the end, selling comic books was more important to Warrior than wrestling matches for WCW.

Bloody Shove.
