The incident almost killed Transit!
The incident almost killed Transit!

In one of the most infamous incidents in wrestling history, Mass Transit, an untrained and underage wannabe wrestler from the Boston area, was carved up by ECW hardcore wrestler New Jack.

It happened at a house show in 1996. A 17-year-old boy offered up his "professional wrestling" services to Paul Heyman. One man short for a match, Heyman threw Transit into the match without checking out his credentials, which were non-existent.

During the tag team match, New Jack took out an Exacto knife and sliced Mass Transit's forehead. Unfortunately, an artery was nicked. Blood started squirting from the kid's forehead as he passed out.

The young man's father screamed from ringside, as he watched his son lay prone on the mat, while blood flew from his head. The incident led to a future ECW pay-per-view being temporarily cancelled and a lawsuit from Transit's family.

It was one of the bloodiest and most disgusting matches in wrestling history.
