Heroes Of Wrestling ( PPV ) Heroes of Wrestling was a professional wrestling pay - per - view event that took place on October 10 , 1999 from the Casino Magic hotel and casino in Bay St . Louis , Mississippi . Overview . Playing off the recent rise in popularity of pro wrestling at the time , Bill Stone , president of Fosstone Productions organized what was intended to be a series of pay - per - view ( PPV ) events consisting of wrestling stars from the 1980s and early 1990s . Stone had three subsequent PPV shows ( to be broadcast on a quarterly schedule ) already in the planning stages if the first one achieved the break - even point of 40 , 000 PPV buys . Heroes of Wrestling only did 29 , 000 PPV buys , so Stone scrapped all future shows . In addition , Stone was furious with the lackluster show itself , and especially the antics of Jake " The Snake " Roberts . The show was critically panned and ridiculed by the wrestling press , with some going as far as calling it the worst wrestling PPV event ever produced . Heroes of Wrestling was declared a failure by the wrestling mainstream and was recognized as the worst major wrestling pay per view of 1999 by Wrestling Observer Newsletter and , throughout the years , has called the tag team match between the Bushwackers and Sheik / Volkoff one of the worst wrestling matches ever if not THE worst . Meltzer gave the match the number of Absolute Zero . Bryan Alvarez , of Figure Four Weekly , gave it " minus more stars than there are stars in the universe , and the universe is infinite " . Controversy . The most memorable and controversial moment of the show involved the last match of the evening . " Heroes of Wrestling " was supposed to feature a double main - event , with Jake " The Snake " Roberts scheduled to face Jim Neidhart in the first match while King Kong Bundy would take on Yokozuna in the other match . Before his match , Roberts was to cut a promo in which he was supposed to taunt his opponent that night , Jim Neidhart . Roberts showed up for the interview segment to set up the promo in a heavily intoxicated state , due either to alcohol or drugs . As the interview progressed Roberts became hostile toward his interviewer and struggled to finish his promo , but because he was so intoxicated , his words were slurred . The interview became infamous not only for its unscripted nature but for Roberts ' only fully intelligible sentence , an attempted analogy about playing cards as the event was being held at a casino : " You don ' t want to play cards with me because I cheat . Okay ? I cheat . You wanna play 21 ? I ' ve got 22 . You want to play blackjack ? I ' ve got two of those too ! " After the interview , Roberts walked to the ring with the snake he was going to use for that night ' s match . However , once he got to the ring , he put the snake down and walked back up the ramp . Roberts then walked back down , staggered around the ring to greet the fans , and then grabbed a female fan and had her rub her hands across his chest . He then pulled the snake out of the bag , stuck it in between his legs in a suggestive manner . began stroking it , then collapsed in the middle of the ring with the snake draped over his body and tried to kiss it with his tongue . In an effort to salvage the match with Roberts in no condition to wrestle , the promoters announced that the match had been changed from a singles bout to a tag - team match , and sent out Bundy and Yokozuna to team with Neidhart and Roberts , respectively . Bundy defeated Roberts by hitting him with a splash after Roberts had staggered and fallen around the ring several times . The pay - per - view immediately cut out following the match as Roberts attempted to disrobe in the middle of the ring . The show also suffered from changes to the advertised card . The billed Main Event , Bundy vs . Yokozuna , did not occur , and Gordon Solie was advertised as the show ' s commentator but did not appear due to declining health . Critics panned the performance of Solie ' s replacement , Randy Rosenbloom , who appeared to have no knowledge of wrestling whatsoever . During one match , Rosenbloom called a dropkick a " flying leg kick " , and later as a " leg drop " .
