** The famous "Cream Of The Crop" promo is effectively a FountainOfMemes due to several lines from it ("The cream of the crop/The cream will rise to the top", "Unjustifiably in a position that I'd rather not be in", "Nothing means nothing") being highly memorable quotes in their own right.

** The 1999 Team Madness Savage as mentioned above is his WCW Dork Age.
** His TNA run, where he was clearly too hurt to work anymore.
