Wiki.
High Incident was a professional wrestling live event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) on October 26, 1996. The event was held in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States. The title of the event referred to the main event: a scaffold match.
Excerpts from High Incident aired on the syndicated television show ECW Hardcore TV in October and November 1996. The bout between the Eliminators and the Miracle Violence Connection was included in the 2000 ECW compilation DVD ECW Extreme Evolution and the 2015 compilation DVD ECW Unreleased Vol. 3, while the scaffold match featured on the 1996 ECW compilation VHS Extreme Warfare Volume 2, the 2001 Pioneer Entertainment compilation DVD Hardcore History and the 2007 WWE compilation DVD ECW – Extreme Rules.
High Incident is best known for a highly controversial angle in which ECW World Heavyweight Champion the Sandman was "crucified" by the villainous stable Raven's Nest, who tied him to a cross using barbed wire. The religious imagery was considered offensive by some and the angle was never aired on television, with ECW issuing an apology. High Incident is also notable for the first appearance of Olympic medallist (and future Impact and WWE Hall of Famer) Kurt Angle in professional wrestling. Angle had considered wrestling for ECW but lost interest after seeing the "crucifixion"; he did not return to professional wrestling until signing with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1998.
