WWE superstar goes flying in Newcastle as ring ropes snap during headline bout
WWE superstar Bobby Lashley was sent flying unexpectedly during his bout last night (Thursday, April 29) in Newcastle.The former WWE champion was battling Scottish superstar Drew McIntyre at the Utiltia Arena when the horrifying moment happened.While McIntyre and Lashley were running against alternate ring ropes, the top rope snapped, which saw the 45-year-old go flying head first over the rope – backwards.McIntyre then dropped to his knees in shock with his hands over his head, as fellow wrestler Sam Zayn – who was out there to interfere in the match – stood next to Lashley as the referee checked on him.The referee gave the signal to show that Lashley was OK to continue, and the match finished despite there being no top rope.Rangers-mad McIntyre, who is reportedly set to face boxing world champion Tyson Fury at WWE's huge stadium show in Cardiff in September, defeated Lashley to close the show.The ring rope can be made of steel cables encased in a rubber hose, wrapped in white or black PVC tape, although WWE is thought to fill their ropes with natural fibre.They are attached to the corner posts using metal fixings, which are tightened until the rope has very little give left.WWE will be hoping that the ropes stay put when the company heads to Cardiff's Principality stadium in September as the event has already smashed company records, including WrestleMania - without a single ticket being sold.Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment empire confirmed earlier this week that they’ll be heading to the Welsh capital in September for a landmark event.The show, which has yet to be named, is set to be the first major stadium event to be held in the UK in some 30 years when the grappling giant sold out London’s Wembley Stadium for
