DATELINE: NOVEMBER 5, 1994 – ECW ARENA – PHILADELPHIA, PA
At ECW’s November to Remember, Chris Benoit throws Sabu for an overhead toss and miscalculates, breaking his neck. The match is stopped and ruled a no-contest, as Sabu had to be helped to the back.
2 Cold Scorpio came out as a replacement to face Benoit. The bout went to a double countout. In a time that pre-dated the internet, footage of the backdrop began circulating among known wrestling ‘tape traders’. Due to this, Benoit would earn his famous moniker, The Crippler.
