10 Wrestling Matches That Turned Into Real Shoots

Sometimes the fists start flying for real...

7. Diesel Vs. Jean-Pierre Lafitte - WWE House Show (September 16, 1995)

You may have heard this somewhere before, but sometimes Canadian wrestlers have a problem losing in Montreal. 

Count Pierre-Carl Ouelette (working then as Jean-Pierre Lafitte) was among them, as he took umbrage with being asked to do a clean job to WWE Champion Diesel at a September 15, 1995 house show. He and the Kliq had words about the way to do business in the runup to the show, too, adding fuel to the fire. 

He successfully got the finish changed to a double countout, but neither Kevin Nash nor other members of the locker room at the time were happy that management had acquiesced to Ouelette's demands simply because they were in Montreal. 

The next night in Quebec City, the two were once again working a match for the WWE Title, when Pierre supposedly hurt Big Daddy Cool after coming off the top rope with a legdrop. 

Having had enough, Nash then decided to throw a few live rounds and the match briefly descended into some sort of semi-shoot, until the Jacknife Powerbomb finish. 

The two continued to go at it backstage, until things were broken up. Needless to say, PCO's card was marked from that on and he didn't stick around too terribly long after. 

Thankfully, the two squashed the beef when working together in WCW years later and actually worked a programme and had another match in Montreal in 2009. 

That time, Nash put the pirate over, no questions asked.
