    That trial was ridiculous. If I were a tax payer for that State/Commonwealth, I would of been fuming.

    How the hell did they think could win the case?

    Some what surprisingly we did not mention this fight on the thread. I think most would call it a fix, and the ref got a long (life?) ban. The 'fun' begins around 11:20

    None, but he did have 17 set ups, most infamously the 1992 Tim Anderson rematch, that led to a murder.

    Question-
    Is it illegal in the U.S. to fix a fight?
    If it is, how does professional wrestling get away with it?

    'Pro' Wrestling is classed an 'Entertainment', thus does not have to abide by the rules that some commissions enforce in sports.

    Check out Danny Green v Paul Briggs the story behind the fight as well and the betting odds plunged on a first round stoppage.
