Changed line(s) 1,21 (click to see context) from:
* After police walked in on a live taping of USWA and arrested Billy Joe Travis on the charge of not paying child support, Wrestling/JerryLawler decided to make the most of it.
* After all the anger fans had when Wrestling/{{WWE}} fired Wrestling/MattHardy for revealing on his website that [[Wrestling/{{Lita}} Amy "Lita" Dumas]] had cheated on him with [[Wrestling/{{Edge}} Adam "Edge" Copeland]], they rehired Hardy and made a storyline out of the situation.
* [[Wrestling/JakeRoberts Jake "The Snake" Roberts]]:
** Legend has it Roberts invented the [[FinishingMove DDT]] ''completely by accident''. (Of course, one can think otherwise by keeping in mind that Wrestling/SatoruSayama used a similar move only a few years before.)
** The infamous "snake bite" angle involving Wrestling/RandySavage, where the viper was increasing its bite, was the result of Roberts being unable to get the snake to release its grip; he had to improvise to make it appear he was making the snake be more vicious than it actually was.
* According to Wrestling/AhmedJohnson, Wrestling/{{Goldust}} kissed him on the mouth for real during one of their matches, and Johnson's fury afterward was legit.
* After [[Wrestling/FredOttman the Shockmaster]] famously tripped during his debut entrance in a Flair for the Gold interview segment, they reworked the character to be a big clumsy oaf instead of a superhero type.
* Shortly after the PowerStable of Wrestling/RicFlair, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson and Tully Blanchard got together Arn Anderson made the offhanded remark, "The Last Time four guys in one place did this much damage, it was '''Wrestling/TheFourHorsemen''' of the apocalypse." The name stuck.
* A famous moment when [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock's]] shades fell off and [[Wrestling/MickFoley Mankind]] simply picked them up and put them back on Rock's face was completely on accident.
* Wrestling/VinceMcMahon flat out asked Mick Foley ''not'' to tell him the ideas for a scene between the two of them. All of [=McMahon=]'s reactions were genuine.
* When Wrestling/AndreTheGiant officially made his FaceHeelTurn on [[Wrestling/RoddyPiper Piper's Pit]] by ripping the crucifix necklace off of Wrestling/HulkHogan's body, he accidentally left a scratch on his skin. The accident, along with Piper informing Hogan "You're bleeding" during the aftermath, resulted in the segment having an even bigger impact in terms of Andre being a threat to Hogan's world title.
* At the beginning of the September 25, 2006 edition of ''Raw'' in Oklahoma City, the arena suffered a temporary blackout up until the end of the first set of commercials. After the power was restored, Wrestling/JohnCena gave a promo where he claimed Wrestling/{{Edge}}, whom he had recently won the WWE Championship from at Unforgiven, had caused the power failure because he was still bitter about losing the title.
* Before the WWE hired script writers, all interviews were improvised. While they were told what topics to cover and maybe given a couple lines to say, everything else was made up on the spot.
* According to Wrestling/BobbyHeenan, he and Wrestling/GorillaMonsoon's famous back and forth banter was never scripted.
* Wrestling/AJStyles invented his finishing move, the Styles Clash, when he botched a power bomb.
* Titus O'Neil once had a match with [[Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli Antonio Cesaro]] right after O'Neil had just won an eating contest. After Cesaro used the Giant Swing on him, O'Neil stumbled out of the ring and puked. O'Neil can will himself to puke and did it because he thought it would be funny.
* Jimmy Hart (former {{Trope Namer|s}} for SuspiciouslySimilarSong) got his "Mouth of the South" moniker from a [=DJ=]. Hart was filming an angle for Memphis with Creator/AndyKaufman during a radio interview. Since Hart was functioning as Kaufman's mouthpiece, he did most of the talking. The [=DJ=] said, "Well you're just the mouth of the south, aren't you, Jimmy?" Jimmy thought it was pretty good and kept it.
* Wrestling/DrewMcintyre developed his Claymore finishing move when he tried to do a Big Boot, but his pants were too tight, causing him to leave his feet to perform it.
* Baron Von Raschke was once cutting a promo and found himself running out of things to say, so he just said, "And zat iz all zat ze people need to know!" It stuck, and he had a CatchPhrase.
* On the December 30 (taped December 10), 1989 episode of ''World Championship Wrestling'' (later ''Wrestling/{{WCW}} Saturday Night''), Tommy Rich and Ranger Ross defeated [[Wrestling/MickFoley Cactus Jack]] and "Nasty" Ned Brady. Following the advice of Wrestling/KevinSullivan, Cactus sent Brady to the floor and hit him with his big elbow drop off the apron. As Mick wrote in ''Literature/HaveANiceDayATaleOfBloodAndSweatsocks'':
-->"When I looked up the camera was pointing right in my face. For some reason, Music/{{The B52s}}' song 'Love Shack' came into my head. For a reason still unknown to me, I looked up at the camera and with my fingers pointed like pistols, recited the 'Bang, bang, bang- on the door baby!' part of the song. A catchphrase was born."
