When Bret Hart wrestled Shawn Michaels on Nov. 9, 1997, he had only weeks left on his WWF contract and had already signed a deal with the WCW. The script that night called for Hart to win the match against Michaels, but when Michaels put Hart in a sharpshooter hold, the referee indicated that Hart submitted, and Vince McMahon forced the ring crew to announce that Michaels had won. Hart, possibly breaking character, rampaged around the ring and later punched McMahon in the locker room. This outcome is now referred to as what?

In the summer of 2011, an exhibition basketball game in Beijing between Georgetown and a team of Chinese professionals affiliated with the Chinese army—billed as a “China-U.S. Basketball Friendship Match”—ended in a one-sided brawl that forced the Georgetown players to leave the court for their own protection. The team they faced, the _____ Rockets, won the first six titles in Chinese Basketball Association history, and are now coached by former NBA player Wang Zhizhi. Fill in the blank above with the four-letter word (as written in the English alphabet) that translates to “August 1st,” the date when the People’s Liberation Army was founded.

On Jan. 4, 1994, a 22-year-old unemployed bouncer named Shane Stant arrived in Detroit after a 20-hour bus ride and booked a room for three nights at a motel. The next day, he went to Cobo Arena on a kind of scouting mission—the first of two trips he’d make to that venue. What was the purpose of Slant’s trip?

The “Punch-up in Piestany,” a bench-clearing brawl in the final match of the 1987 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in which the arena turned off its lights in a failed attempt to stop the fighting, occurred in a game between which two nations?

On June 4, 1974, in the bottom of the ninth inning, a Cleveland Indians fan ran on the field and tried to steal Rangers outfielder Jeff Burroughs' hat. Burroughs tripped while attempting to confront the fan, and his teammates, thinking he’d been attacked, charged out to protect him. Around 200 Indians fans surged onto the field in response, many armed with makeshift weapons from the stadium seats they’d already torn apart. Cleveland manager Ken Aspromonte then ordered his players to attack their own fans with baseball bats in order to help the visiting Rangers. One Cleveland reliever was hit in the head with a folding chair, and Rangers first baseman Mike Hargrove had to win two fistfights just to get back to his dugout. When the players escaped, the rioting continued, bases were stolen, and the umpire who forfeited the game to Texas was struck in the head by a stadium seat. Finally, the Cleveland PD had to be called in to stop the fighting. What infamous promotion at Cleveland Stadium contributed to this state of affairs?
