The "Mass Transit Incident" was an infamous event in professional wrestling that occurred at an Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) house show on November 23, 1996 at the Wonderland Ballroom in Revere, Massachusetts. It involved Eric Kulas, an aspiring professional wrestler using the ring name "Mass Transit", to be accidentally bladed too deeply by New Jack of The Gangstas during a tag-team match. Two of Kulas's arteries were severed, he bled profusely and passed out, and needed to be escorted out of the arena with medical attention. Further controversy arose when it came to light that Kulas had lied to ECW owner and booker Paul Heyman about his age and professional wrestling training. The incident led to a future ECW pay-per-view being cancelled (until Heyman negotiated otherwise), a lawsuit from Kulas's family, and went down as one of the most notorious moments of lore in professional wrestling history.
