There used to be this joke news wrestling site back in the day, and they'd make fake clips out of actual commentary, and one of the things they made was taking Tony Schiavone clips to push something as "The greatest wrestling match of all time," and I want to say it was... Prince Iaukea vs. Disco Inferno? It was hilarious, but it was also a product of the 90s, and I have no idea if it even exists anymore, or where to find it. I just know they spliced commentary sound clips together to make a fake match of Iaukea/Disco sound like the most incredible thing ever.

Oh geez, Google helped me find remnants of it. It was called Wrestleline, and I only know that because Angelfire still has pages that exist, and I immediately recognized one of the articles, "Big Poppa Pump Explodes":

Big Poppa Pump explodes
KNOXVILLE, TN - Thousands of fans in attendance and millions watching live around the world were witness last Monday to one of the most gruesome events in television history as Scott Steiner, a.k.a. "Big Poppa Pump," exploded on "WCW Nitro" following a match with Diamond Dallas Page.
As the match went back and forth, Vincent ran in, causing DDP to run into the referee. Buff Bagwell then threw powder in Page's eyes. DDP nonetheless nailed Vincent with the diamond cutter. Steiner then surprised Page with a chairshot, and strapped on the Steiner recliner for the win. Steiner then flexed for the audience in attendance, and exploded.
"It was one of the most gruesome, disgusting things I've ever seen," confessed one fan in attendance, too shaken up to elaborate.
"This is the greatest Nitro of all time," was announcer Tony Schiavone's only comment. "This is the single greatest moment in professional wrestling history." "I've seen a lot of wrestlers," added color commentator Larry Zbyzsko, "and I've seen a lot of wrestling. But never ... EVER ... have I seen a man explode during a pose-down."
Scott Steiner had been gaining more and more muscle tone in the past year, which led to his nickname of "Big Poppa Pump." But ever since Hollywood Hogan's return at the helm of the New World Order, Steiner's been feeling a bit insecure.
"Scotty felt the pressure," said Marcus "Buff" Bagwell, "and tripled his bodybuilding efforts, just to keep up with the popularity of the reformed team and not get tossed." Steiner will be away from action for an indefinite period of time, depending on the severity of the explosion.
