The Hangman in the Ropes

Hey Oliver, I was just wondering if you ever tried to integrate the hangman in the ropes (one of the things Mick Foley was famous for) into your matches, like maybe if Wrestler A throws Wrestler B over the top rope, his head will get caught in the ropes and he'll be hanging by his neck. Then Wrestler A could hit him with a couple of punches or kicks or something to knock him loose and Wrestler B would just fall to the floor.

Any thoughts on this?

Having been five feet away when Mick Foley lost his ear on this, this is one spot I never really wanted to put in there... unless the users demand it ;)

Yuck.  Well atleast your witnessed history.  I wouldn't mind seeing it, but it doesn't happen very often.  Hey was there ever video of that match where Mick Foley lost part of his ear either to order or clips/pictures on the net somewhere?

I have the original tape of it sitting in my collection. It was taped by a reporter from Austria who smuggled his camera into the building, smelling a sleaze story. He apparently did make a copy of it before giving it to me, though, since I recall Feinstein once offering a tape that appeared to be a dub of the same tape.

There is a tape circulating over the internet...I know because I have it.  Try looking Ebay for one of those "Craziest wrestling injuries" complitations or something.
