Trish Stratus breaks Victoria's nose in a woman's hardcore match at Survivor Series 2002

At the time, this was an important match - it showed that women could actually *fight* rather than be used just as as eye-candy in bikini or bra-and-pantie matches

Seth Rollins was attacked by a 'fan' at the end of the post-Survivor Series edition of RAW last night

NOTE - This is a mixture of footage of what was broadcast during the actual programme (the first part of the attack, with the camera then cutting to Finn Balor in the ring) and fan shot footage that was not included in the programme (the cut back to the incident)

Here is the incident from a different angle fan-cam

30 years ago people tuned into Wrestling and watched Macho Man being bitten by a King Kobra.



Before that happened, Jake has said, Macho Man didn't believe the snake had it's venom glands removed and wanted Jake to be bitten first. After 15 minutes Macho Man believed Jake was ok and left the locker room, Jake decided to slap the snake and get it angry
