Former UFC fighter Rampage Jackson incurred the wrath of Paul Wight after using a chokeslam during a one-off appearance for WWE.
Jackson appeared for WWE to promote 2010’s film remake of The A-Team which saw the UFC fighter play B.A. Barracus, previously played by Mr. T.
On a recent edition of his “JAXXON” podcast, Rampage recalled appearing on RAW and getting heat with the then-Big Show for using the move. He said,
“When I promoted A-Team, we did something at WWE, me and (Howling Mad) Murdock. Shout out to the actor that played Murdock (Sharlto Copley). They had us in the ring and The Big Show was there and he got mad because I did his chokeslam. He got mad and he was like, ‘Why’d you have to use my move?’ I’m like, ‘Nobody would let me powerbomb him.’ They wouldn’t let me do my move because I’m known for the powerbomb. I didn’t understand that.”
Jackson’s appearance for WWE would not be his last time working in wrestling. He would join TNA Wrestling in 2013 as part of a relaunched Main Event Mafia.
