Mass Transit incident (professional wrestling)
The "Mass Transit Incident" was an infamous event in professional wrestling that occurred at an Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) house show on November 23, 1996 at the Wonderland Ballroom in Revere, Massachusetts. It involved Eric Kulas, an aspiring professional wrestler using the ring name "Mass Transit", to be accidentally bladed too deeply by New Jack of The Gangstas during a tag-team match. Two of Kulas's arteries were severed, he bled profusely and passed out, and needed to be escorted out of the arena with medical attention. Further controversy arose when it came to light that Kulas had lied to ECW owner and booker Paul Heyman about his age and professional wrestling training. The incident led to a future ECW pay-per-view being cancelled (until Heyman negotiated otherwise), a lawsuit from Kulas's family, and went down as one of the most notorious moments of lore in professional wrestling history.
==The incident==
At the show, Axl Rotten had been scheduled to work a tag team match with D-Von Dudley against The Gangstas (New Jack and Mustafa Saed),〔 but could not compete due to a family emergency (he later stated that it was because Paul Heyman didn't buy him a plane ticket and he "wasn't going to drive to Boston"). Eric Kulas, who had just turned 17, told ECW owner and booker Paul Heyman that he was 19 and was trained to wrestle, which he was not, and convinced Heyman to allow him to fill in for Rotten by lying that he had been trained by Killer Kowalski.〔〔 Heyman stated afterward that he was unaware of Kulas's age. Kulas performed as Mass Transit, a Ralph Kramden-esque bus driver gimmick.〔〔
Before the match Kulas asked New Jack to blade him since he never had done it himself and New Jack agreed. During the match, D-Von and New Jack brawled outside the ring, while Mustafa and Transit fought inside the ring. The match was booked as a squash and D-Von was quickly isolated outside the ring. The Gangstas then double-teamed Kulas inside the ring, with New Jack beating the young man forcefully with toasters, crutches, and various other objects. The end of the match saw New Jack blade Kulas, with an exacto knife, but accidentally cut too deep and severed two arteries in Kulas's forehead. Kulas immediately passed out as the blood was spraying out of his head. 〔〔〔
Due to the event being a house show, the match was not televised. However, Extreme Fan Cam was on hand to record the event on a camcorder, which was used as evidence in later legal proceedings. Video footage showed New Jack asking Kulas, "You alright?" This prompted some to consider his actions moments later as part of the show and not representative of his true feelings. After the incident, The Gangstas proceeded to work Kulas over even more, prompting Stephen Kulas, Eric's father, to scream, "Ring the fucking bell. He's 17!" As medics rushed into the ring to aid Kulas, New Jack grabbed the house microphone and shouted, "I don't care if the motherfucker dies!〔 He's white. I don't like white people. I don't like people from Boston. I'm the wrong nigga to fuck with."〔 With the help of the Internet, video of the incident has spread among the wrestling community.
