the issue would have been taken seriously by the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission.

That brings back memories. A similar issue occurring in 88-89 caused Mcmahon to admit wrestling was fake. Had he not admitted it was fake, wrestling events were going to be monitored like other sporting events, including having real paramedics on site. Wrestling would have essentially became what boxing was at the time.

It's considered a very minor footnote, but most certainly altered the course of wrestling permanently.
