On this week’s edition of Monday Mailbag with Mike Chioda on AdFreeShows.com, Chioda told a crazy story about the Last Man Standing match between Umaga and John Cena. The bout took place at the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view in 2007.
The match apparently saw Umaga legitimately go unconscious. Chioda revealed that he felt terrible about the whole situation as he didn’t realize that Umaga was out and just thought at the time that he was very good at selling.
A bloodied Cena left the 2007 Royal Rumble victorious. After a brutal back-and-forth match, Umaga was defeated when Cena used a broken ring rope to choke his opponent out.
