    WCW. Nitpick, but he never worked for the WWF/WWE.

    Yes, that was fake. Unfortunately.

    And dude ... That's your definition of disgusting? Puss. :D

    Sabu vs. Terry Funk. ECW Born To Be Wired, 1997. They replaced the ring ropes with barbed wire. Highlights on YouTube, but I won't link it.

    A shirtless Madden beats anything else in the category of disgusting.

    Really?

    NSFW, NSFChildren, NSFBars, NSFLibraries ... you get the picture.

    ... if you dare.

    Yes, it's real barbed wire. Sabu had to get 100 stitches. Hope he was wearing a cup.

    Despite making the guy throw a telephone, he's actually not a bad guy off of the air if you can believe it.

    Trust me, I'm not going to watch the shit. The shirtless Madden/disgusting thing was kind of a joke, see? Before you start posting "Faces of Death" of clips, we're not playing "can you top this."

    Is pro wrestling fake in terms of athleticism and pain? No. Is it fake in terms of storylines and making sure there is always a heel? Yes. Madden is a professional heel. His radio show is nothing more than being the biggest possible heel for the Pittsburgh area.

    Madden has a goal
    He wants people to hate him
    Frequent success hurts

    Except radio isn't professional wrestling. Radio stations are owned by corporations who depend on advertising and are licensed by the federal government which, in recent years, has taken a dim view of things like relatively mild profanity that's <i>accidentally</i> gotten on the air. I would suspect ESPN and Disney have some reason to be concerned about this.

    Companies like ESPN use clowns like Madden until they self-destruct, which he may well have done here.
