| 16 | * Wrestling/MickFoley documented a great crowning moment of funny involving accusing [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] of maybe [[HoYay proving Rocky DOES "suck"]] and Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin talking about [[ItMakesSenseInContext shrimp boats]]. One can read from pages 109 to 113 [[http://books.google.com/books?id=Zghk-VaOVC8C&printsec=frontcover&dq=Foley+is+Good&source=bl&ots=uebxAAwDnN&sig=6Yd6QBLsNPOEwNn6OmpK7X3dNBk&hl=en&ei=JHuQTJvyOo7EsAPTt-GxDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q&f=false here.]] The follow-up on pages 117 to 120 is possibly even funnier. |
| 17 | ** He once had an encounter with [[Wrestling/{{Boogeyman}} The Boogeyman]]. While Boogey ran through his entire shtick in front of Mick Foley, Foley just sat there, [[PassThePopcorn eating a Moon Pie]], and was ''[[UnusuallyUninterestingSight completely unfazed by Boogey]].'' |

| 21 | -->'''Music/OzzyOsbourne''': Buy that man a bra!\ |
| 22 | ''(Wrestling/JerryLawler laughs)''\ |
| 23 | '''Sharon Osbourne''': Jerry, I loved him! Why'd you do that? He's gorgeous!\ |
| 24 | '''Jerry Lawler''': ...you thought he was gorgeous?\ |
| 25 | '''Sharon Osbourne''': Gorgeous, man!\ |
| 26 | '''Ranjin Singh''': The Great Khali says he found that piece..."oddly mesmerizing."\ |
| 27 | '''Sharon Osbourne''': I agree with you! |
| 28 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlaHEFF_yOM "Looooondon bridge is fallin' down....fallin' down...fallin' down....]] '''I'm the BOOGEYMAN!''' And I'm comin', '''T'GETCHA!!'''" |
| 29 | * One of the most overlooked moments during the controversial "Invasion" arc in 2001 were the skits involving Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin, Wrestling/KurtAngle, and Wrestling/VinceMcMahon. First, on an episode of ''Raw'', Austin and Vince each wore cowboy hats that Austin got, and as for Angle, Austin gave him a kiddie-sized cowboy hat. Then, on an episode of ''[=SmackDown=]'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aK7vBG-lOg0 Austin sang "Kumbaya" and "I Am the Champion" (to the tune of Queen's "We Are the Champions") to Vince, and Angle tried to serenade both of them to "Jimmy Crack Corn", ending with "...and I've got Olympic Gold!"]] |
| 30 | ** And on that note (pardon the pun), there was the [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11soh_austin-the-rock-sing_sport incident]] on Raw between Steve Austin and Wrestling/TheRock, culminating in a duet of "Margaritaville"... [[spoiler: and then The Rock hits Stone Cold with the Rock Bottom.]] |
| 31 | ** And then there was an encore where the entire WCW/ECW Alliance (led by the HollywoodToneDeaf Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon) sang a tribute song to their leader- Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin- called "Wind Beneath Our Ring" (to the tune of "Wind Beneath My Wings"). [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x25cks_wcwecw-alliance-austin-appreciation_sport The whole thing]] was SoBadItsGood, from the bit parts sang by individual WCW/ECW wrestlers (who were trying ''so damn hard'' to be noticed at this point) to the karaoke on the giant screen complete with a [[FollowTheBouncingBall bouncing Steve Austin head]]. Angle then spoils the party for the Alliance by giving them a milk bath, from a milk truck, mocking Austin's Corporation beer bath from 1999. |
| 32 | --->'''Wrestling/JimRoss''': The [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon Billion Dollar Princess]]...has just become a Dairy Queen! |
| 33 | ** The Invasion had quite a number of giggle-worthy skits buried underneath all the controversy. Other highlights included Shawn Stasiak constructing a booby trap using [[ItMakesSenseInContext a bucket of sour milk]] (which inevitably backfired) and Wrestling/BookerT visiting a Hollywood movie studio in an attempt to replicate Wrestling/TheRock's then-recent success with ''Film/TheScorpionKing'': |
| 34 | --->'''Wrestling/BookerT''': I'm THE BOOKERMAN! |
| 35 | --->'''Receptionist''': The Boogerman? I never saw that one, was it European? |
| 36 | * The Rock and Wrestling/ChrisJericho riffing on each other. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd2zhPN5-Es You with your unibrow and your "Just bring it!" Bring what? A vomit bag? A Fig Newton?]] |
| 37 | * Chris Jericho has a lot of them, like his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCx1AqnBUVE many]] digs at Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon. Jericho even got two in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yiPKrVqpcg one segment]]. First he "Ortonizes" his promo. Say it with him now: ME! WANT! TITLE! MATCH! Then he doesn't know Santino Marella's name. |
| 38 | * Kurt Angle: SCREW YOUR BOOBS |
| 39 | * When Kane was first turning face, one of his first good deeds was to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vQYfzchnnU help a kid win a prize from a crane machine]]... |
| 40 | * The [=bWo=] entrance at the original One Night Stand pay-per-view, especially coming hot off the heels of [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome The Sandman's entrance, hands down the greatest ever in pro wrestling]]. Joey was laughing so hard he believed he'd piss himself: |
| 41 | -->''"If there was ever any gimmick that didn't deserve to make ''a dime'' and made a '''boatload''' of cash, THIS WAS IT! And the best thing was [[Wrestling/{{WCW}} they]] couldn't sue [[Wrestling/{{ECW}} us]] because it was a parody!"'' |
| 42 | ** During the ensuing debacle after said entrance, [[Wrestling/MikeBucci Nova]] takes two ''massive'' chair shots right to the head by Axl Rotten and Wrestling/BallsMahoney, one after the other. After being laid out by the second, Wrestling/JoeyStyles had this to say: |
| 43 | --->''"That hurt more than [[TakeThat having to be Simon Dean on national television]]! (Yeah, I'm fired; I know.)"'' |
| 44 | * Wrestling/RicFlair's famous [[FaceFault Flair Flop]] is known to cause a chuckle every now and then, but one instance turned it into a laugh riot. Triple H was in Flair's corner when he flopped once, and Trips could very easily be seen hanging his head and groaning in disgust. |
| 45 | * Although Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} and [=Christian=] were essentially gods of comedy upon winning the tag titles for the first time, the act really didn't kick into gear until they were aligned with Wrestling/KurtAngle. The Crowning Moment of this trio was early on: to pay tribute to the state of Kentucky, they dressed up as a jug band...complete with [=Edge=] donning a set of false teeth even more ludicrous than his own unnaturally large grin. |
| 46 | ** Even better: "[[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xv9u0 I'm gonna play our music]]!" |
| 47 | * Wrestling/TommyDreamer believes that Christian and Wrestling/JackSwagger are ignoring him, and he has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rde8A54QH_w an interesting way of proving his point]]. |
| 48 | * Wrestling/AlSnow, especially his reign as European Champion and his tag team with TheComicallySerious Wrestling/SteveBlackman. |
| 49 | * June 29th 2008. The night of Vince [=McMahon=]'s Million Dollar Mania will forever be remembered as the night Mr. [=McMahon=] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb5u5EGITOw got Rickroll'd]]. |
| 50 | * At ''ECW One Night Stand II'', Wrestling/RobVanDam won the Wrestling/{{WWE}} championship from Wrestling/JohnCena. Two nights later, on the inaugural broadcast of the revived ECW, he was crowned the ECW champion as well. He then spent several minutes talking up the honor and prestige of the ECW Championship...then held up the WWE Championship and declared, "And I'll keep this one too! Look! It spins!" |
| 51 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgCUnZhxRV0 Matt and Jeff try to stay]] [[DistractedByTheSexy focused.]] |
| 52 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ubeclmQxRc The "Shockmaster" segment on the August 31st, 2009]] edition of ''RAW''; take one of WCW's worst moments, mock it mercilessly, and then throw in Santino Marella for good measure. |
| 53 | ** "It shoulda worked!" |
| 54 | * On September 9th, 2009, Bob Barker served as the guest host/GM of ''Raw''. The opening segment alone made the entire show. |
| 55 | ** Barker's threat to an angry Chris Jericho: "Get back down there or I'll take you over my knee!" Which was even funnier when Jericho BACKED DOWN. |
| 56 | ** Barker beating up Wrestling/ChavoGuerreroJr. "The most important thing in any fight is the element of..." ''* punches Chavo in the stomach* '' "SURPRISE!" |
| 57 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPcMOUe4OU8 Goldust and Booker T]] |
| 58 | * Triple H's appearance on the MVP Lounge talking about [=Edge=]: |
| 59 | -->'''Triple H''': You know, that [=Edge=] is a smart guy. I mean, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall marrying the boss to get ahead in the business?]] That's genius! |
| 60 | * Kurt Angle vs. a generic luchador jobber - Kurt throws him to the outside, and the ref leans over to check on him. At this point, Wrestling/EddieGuerrero sneaks in from behind ''disguised as said luchador'', then throws Angle over the top rope (and over the ref's head) before leaving an inconspicuous banana peel where Angle was standing. The ref looks to see who attacked Angle, sees the banana peel, and just gives a AsideGlance to the camera, as if to say "You have '''got''' to be kidding me." |
| 61 | * "The Houdini of Hardcore" Crash Holly defends the WWF Hardcore Championship against both of The Headbangers [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4aaUzPNvSQ in Fun Time USA.]] This is probably the most memorable defense of said championship. |
| 62 | * At Survivor Series 2009, [=Christian=] teamed up with Kofi Kingston, Wrestling/MarkHenry, MVP, & [[Wrestling/RonKillings R-Truth]], and tried to point out that he's the only... At which point, his teammates to cut him off & say that it shouldn't matter, as they all want to win. [=Christian=]'s relieved, and remarks that he's glad his teammates don't care that he's the only member of the ECW roster, leading to them all having a chuckle about it before [=Christian=] remarks "You thought I mean because I'm Canadian", which leads to an awkward silence from the others. The promo then ends with [=Christian=] trying to prove Canadians are pretty good rappers: |
| 63 | -->'''[=Christian=]''': Team Kofi Kingston! Looking for a fight! 4 of us are black and 1 of us is white! WHAT'S UP! What's up! What's up. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8j8OXn0E44&feature=related Mark what's up?]] |
| 64 | * Carlito would like to thank Jesus, the Academy, [[Literature/TheTwilightSaga Team Jacob]], and everyone's favorite place Puerto Rico. |
| 65 | * Some of the PPV commercials, like the [=WM21=] Taxi Driver Parody, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gTTFTRDxQA The Last Hot Dog (SummerSlam 2006)]] or Carlito vs The Dove ([=WM24=]) |
| 66 | * ''Judgment Day 2002'' and ''[=WrestleMania=] 23'', where Wrestling/KurtAngle and Vince [=McMahon=], respectively, get their heads shaved. |
| 67 | --> '''Audience:''' (Chants in tune to Angle's music) You're bald! You're bald! |
| 68 | ** Then, on the RAW after ''[=WrestleMania=] 23'', Wrestling/BobbyLashley knocks away Vince's hat, causing him to hide under Lillian Garcia's skirt. Lashley then [[FanService rips her skirt off]]. |
| 69 | * Wrestling/KurtAngle: "Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr is a boy, and I'm a man. And I just love to play with little boys." * crowd laughs* [[ThatCameOutWrong "NO NO I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!"]] |
| 70 | * In what is also a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, Wrestling/BethPhoenix (!) entered the 2010 Royal Rumble and, after being lifted over the top rope by The Great Khali and pointed towards the back, Beth plants a HUGE kiss on Khali. ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWSi6m8gNcU And eliminates him by dragging him over the top rope during the kiss.]]'' |
| 71 | * Wrestling/ShaneMcMahon helps his father Vince train for a match against Austin...in the middle of winter with about a foot of snow on the ground. And Shane gets the idea to use the GoodOldWays of training, because "this is how they used to train in [his] day", including chasing a chicken around to build speed and endurance. Only problem is, since it's snowing out, [[NeverWorkWithChildrenOrAnimals the chicken isn't having any of it]]. So the first take, Shane throws the chicken, the chicken stays put, and Vince tries to nudge him along to get it to run. |
| 72 | -->'''Vince''': This is the stupidest--\ |
| 73 | '''Shane''': This is the moment of truth!\ |
| 74 | '''Vince''': This is the stupidest one of them all--\ |
| 75 | '''Shane''': No, it's not!\ |
| 76 | '''Vince''': [[MeanBoss I'm the CEO of]] [[Wrestling/{{WWE}} a Fortune 500 company]]--\ |
| 77 | '''Shane''': That's alright!\ |
| 78 | '''Vince''': And you want me to chase a damn chicken?!\ |
| 79 | '''Shane''': This is how they used to do it! This is how you build speed! [[{{Metaphorgotten}} Greasy fast, lightning speed]]! You catch this chicken, you are greased lightning! This is it -- you gonna be [[SecondPlaceIsForLosers number two]]? This is how you beat [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Austin]]! This is how you beat [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Austin]]! You ready?!\ |
| 80 | '''Vince''': Okay!\ |
| 81 | '''Shane''': HERE WE GO! ''(throws chicken into pen with Vince)'' GET THE CHICKEN, GET THE CHICKEN! THAT'S IT! ''(The chicken stays where it lands, Vince pounces on it)'' DROP THE ELBOW! ''DROP THE ELBOW!''\ |
| 82 | ''(Vince starts dumping handfuls of snow on the chicken, then just stares at it.)''\ |
| 83 | '''Vince''': ...what's the matter with the chicken?\ |
| 84 | '''Shane''': [[IceCreamKoan It's a working chicken]]!\ |
| 85 | '''Vince''': The chicken's like Austin...it's afraid of me! ''({{Beat}})'' Should I choke him?\ |
| 86 | ''(Vince leans in over the chicken, pumping his arm back and forth in a peculiar gesture)''\ |
| 87 | '''Shane''': Don't choke the chicken. |
| 88 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7i_H6cELXg Edge and The Rock]] Only through these two could they make {{Squick}} hilarious. |
| 89 | * Another guest host of RAW looked upon very fondly is Creator/WilliamShatner. Yes, ''that'' Creator/WilliamShatner. So when Shatner negotiated matches a la Priceline.com and did ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHg2z9ZgdEc spoken word versions]]'' of WWE entrance themes, it turned what an already awesome night of RAW (Wrestling/BretHart's Return) into an epic one. |
| 90 | * [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5n9m1_mcmahon-family-portrait_sport The [=McMahon=] family portrait]] from the 15th anniversary of Raw. Triple H hits the ring with his signature [[NoFourthWall additions]] ("What I'm doing is waiting for that pop to die down - damn, do you hear that?!"), and, well - HilarityEnsues. [[OnlySaneMan Shane's]] [[BrainBleach reaction]] of "oh God, my ''eyes''" - or [[INeedAFreakingDrink "I need a freaking drink"]] - and his eventual audible "[[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm out]]" after Vince made a comment about [[{{Squick}} "dusting the cobwebs off" Mae Young]]. To say nothing of the [[HumiliationConga parade of people who've slept with Vince]]. Most of this is just the setup for the Crowning Moment Of Awesome for Stephanie and Trips. |
| 91 | --> '''Stephanie''': Dad, you've got ''serious problems''. And you know what? You've embarrassed our family long enough. It's time that I embarrassed you. |
| 92 | -->''(Stephanie grabs Triple H by the shirt and makes out with him as the crowd goes apeshit.)'' |
| 93 | --> '''Triple H''': (looks smug as hell) Heh. [[HappilyMarried See ya at home, Steph]]! ... [[LameRhymeDodge oooh, I mean, your brother's a gnome!]] |
| 94 | * The Dudley Boyz humiliate [=Christian=] and Chris Jericho by stealing their stuff. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXQY9H86UyI As the towel-clad Christian and Jericho at the top of the ramp confront Bubba Ray & D-Von who are throwing their items to the audience...]] |
| 95 | -->'''Bubba Ray Dudley''': Who wants some...''(reaches into bag)''...who wants a jar of Ass Cream?\ |
| 96 | '''Lawler''': ''(on commentary)'' Ass Cream?! Who uses that?!\ |
| 97 | '''Bubba Ray Dudley''': What the hell are you guys doing with Ass Cream?! What do you ''DO'' with Ass Cream, might I ask?!\ |
| 98 | '''Jericho''': Just hold on one damn second! You think this is funny?!\ |
| 99 | '''Bubba Ray Dudley''': Yes, I do!\ |
| 100 | '''Jericho''': You think this is funny?! Throwing my shirt into the crowd?! Throwing his pants into the crowd?! You think it's funny taking my--''({{Beat}})''--[[VerbalBackspace Christian's]] [[OpinionFlipflop jar of Ass Cream out]]?! |
| 101 | ** Capped off with the immortal line: |
| 102 | ---> '''Bubba Ray''': SPIKE! GET THE TOWELS! |
| 103 | ** Now with 35% [[https://youtu.be/IXDhoP-A4h4 MORE ASS]]! |
| 104 | * Wrestling/TheUndertaker and Kane [[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ry959 couldn't catch a break.]] Between Kane and the whole Katie Vick situation and Taker with a busted hand, among other things, it was hard to say who was more worthy of pity. |
| 105 | -->'''Kane:''' So...how was your week? |
| 106 | -->'''The Undertaker:''' ... |
| 107 | * Bob Uecker's interviewing Wrestling/AndreTheGiant at ''[=WrestleMania=] 4'' -- if for nothing more than Uecker's hilarious facial expressions: |
| 108 | -->'''Andre''': [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hulkamania]] is OVER! ''(laughs)''\ |
| 109 | '''Bob Uecker''': ''(trying to push Andre's hand away)'' Um, would you mind getting your foot off my shoulder?\ |
| 110 | ''(Wrestling/AndreTheGiant throttles Bob and shakes him like a rag doll.)'' |
| 111 | ** Watch close as Andre walks off camera and you see him start to smile. |
| 112 | ** During the battle royal at the same show had this exchange: |
| 113 | -->'''Wrestling/JesseVentura''': You ever see anything like this in baseball, Ueck? |
| 114 | -->'''Bob Uecker''': This kinda reminds me of final cut day of spring training. |
| 115 | * Even though the storyline itself had to be Vince CrossingTheLineTwice for the 12th time, when they're in a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGIXGpxT2Wc Church]] , Vince [[SmiteMeOhMightySmiter dares God to strike him down]]. Shane takes a few steps back. |
| 116 | * One moment at ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 18'' regarding the hardcore title scuffle backstage. At one point after the Hurricane got the title, he attempts to hide in one of the changing rooms behind a changing blind. A few seconds later, a few of the Godfather's ladies come in to get changed, and none of them notice that Hurricane is behind the blind... until they notice that Hurricane's shadow [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhg5i-5gV5Y starts to show signs of visible excitement when a GIANT, phallic shadow]] rises up. Cue the Godfather come in and chasing the Hurricane away with a broom which had been used to display said 'excitement' |
| 117 | -->'''Wrestling/JerryLawler:''' He DOES have super powers! |
| 118 | ** The RunningGag about the 24/7 Hardcore title changing hands during the show was hilarious, but the funniest had to be [[https://youtu.be/pNXvCAwwhhY?t=1m4s when Hurricane lost the belt]] to a ''[[FryingPanOfDoom frying pan]]'' wielded by his own sidekick, [[Wrestling/MollyHolly Mighty Molly]]. |
| 119 | ** And to finish off the night, after Christian managed to win it and is about to leave, {{Wrestling/Maven}} sneaks up behind him for the rollup pin before stealing his cab ''and'' Christian's luggage to get away. |
| 120 | * One backstage segment on ''[=SmackDown=]'' in 2001 saw Trish Stratus getting changed behind a screen in the guy's dressing room. Steve Blackman disappears behind the screen to help her with her zipper, accidentally poking her with his kendo stick which is now [[SomethingElseAlsoRises elongated upwards in a strangely phallic position]]. Cue Grandmaster Sexay walking in and seeing the odd shadow. |
| 121 | -->'''Trish''': Wow, [[GagPenis that's gigantic]].\ |
| 122 | '''Steve''': You should see when I beat people over the head with it.\ |
| 123 | '''Trish''': Can I hold it? (touching the stick) It's so hard. |
| 124 | * Wrestling/EveTorres interviewed Triple H backstage before Survivor Series 2008 but Triple H was staring at something on Eve's upper torso area. He remarked that they were amazing, perfectly shaped and that his mother had a pair just like them. Could he be talking about...Eve's pearls of course. And after Wrestling/VladimirKozlov interrupts and leaves Trips remarks, "See, Eve, he couldn't take his eyes off them either". |
| 125 | * Perhaps the [[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]] skit that was staged when Springer hosted Raw is worthy of this category even though falling into the SoBadItsGood category. The skit started off with Wrestling/KellyKelly saying she's pregnant but doesn't know who the father could be, there are a number of possibilities. Cue [[ButtMonkey Santino's]] music, he mistakes Springer for Maury Povich and then Wrestling/MichaelCole interrupts only to be cut down by Wrestling/JerryLawler. Springer says that Lawler usually picks up his girls during recess. The Wrestling/BellaTwins interrupt and apparently [[GenderReveal Brie is a man]] and we can finally tell them apart as Brie is the one who looks like she's ready to castrate someone. Another possibility for Kelly's baby's father is Chris Masters who is [[ContinuityNod told to put a bra on]] by Springer. Seconds later Eve Torres comes down and Masters says she wasn't getting the job done (it's still a PG show, apparently). Eve drops a bombshell: she's been cheating on Chris with [[TheGiant the Great Khali]]. Springer says he has the results of the paternity test and the father is Hornswoggle. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere This is apparently too weird even for Springer and he walks off]] only for Lawler to admit they staged the whole thing. |
| 126 | --->'''Lawler''': Kelly Kelly's not pregnant, Brie's not a man, there have been no secret rendezvous and I'm pretty sure the Great Khali has no idea what's going on. |
| 127 | --->'''Singh''': Actually, King, [[LampshadeHanging much like our audience]] the Great Khali feels this has been [[TakeThat a giant waste of time]]. |
| 128 | ** But they're not done yet, Lawler says Springer has been hiding a secret relationship. Some men like their women skinny, others like them curvy. Some like their women old but Springer likes his women young. As in Wrestling/MaeYoung of course and she comes out to smother Springer with kisses. The entire segment provided the sensation of channel surfing without even picking up the remote. |
| 129 | * At Extreme Rules 2010 in the middle of the Last Man Standing match between John Cena and Wrestling/{{Batista}}. |
| 130 | --->'''Young fan''': I hate you [=Batista=]! |
| 131 | --->'''Wrestling/{{Batista}}''': I hate you too! |
| 132 | ** Chris Jericho's interaction with a fan at Survivor Series as well. |
| 133 | --->'''Idiot fan''': Go back to Toronto! |
| 134 | --->'''Jericho''': I'm from Winnipeg, you idiot! |
| 135 | ** At a house show in Germany, Wrestling/{{Aksana}} was facing [[Wrestling/LayCool Layla]] and had Layla positioned in an odd way... |
| 136 | --> '''Fan:''' Time for a low blow! |
| 137 | --> '''Aksana:''' You shut up! |
| 138 | * Wrestling/WilliamRegal raps. You heard me. |
| 139 | --> ''Straight out of Blackpool'' |
| 140 | -->''I'm William Regal'' |
| 141 | -->''My rhyme's so intense'' |
| 142 | -->''It shouldn't be legal'' |
| 143 | -->''My style is refined'' |
| 144 | -->''Not crude and crass'' |
| 145 | -->''I'll keep you grounded'' |
| 146 | -->''Like volcanic ash'' |
| 147 | -->''I'll take you down'' |
| 148 | -->''Rung by rung'' |
| 149 | -->''I'm just like British Parliament'' |
| 150 | -->''I'm completely hung'' |
| 151 | -->''Straight Up Gangsta Trippin.'' |
| 152 | -->''Yes boy.'' |
| 153 | ** But wait, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LS29RzS5pA THERE'S MORE.]] ([[NoFourthWall "I spent three bloody hours learning this and I've forgotten it! Hang on, right, here we go..."]]) |
| 154 | * The Kane/Pete Rose feud is pretty goddamn hilarious, all things considered. Arguably the first example of face-like reaction Kane got was tombstoning Pete Rose after the latter insulted [[CheapHeat a local sports franchise]]. |
| 155 | * The entire ending segment of the NXT finale - William Regal randomly calling Wrestling/MattHardy Eugene repeatedly, R-Truth's "Be quiet, you got a mask on!", Wrestling/CMPunk being told to leave if he has a problem ''and doing so'', all of it was great. |
| 156 | * Wrestling/JohnMorrison (Johnny Nitro at the time) is cutting a promo with Melina, when in the background, Wrestling/JeffHardy sets up a canvas and starts painting. John turns, yells at him, and kicks over the canvas. Jeff goes absolutely [[BerserkButton berserk]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dT_3cipFco on him.]] Which goes to show that obviously you do not fuck with the man's painting. |
| 157 | * Layla El has recently picked up a few along with Michelle [=McCool=] since forming [=LayCool=]. One match in particular saw Wrestling/BethPhoenix perform an airplane spin on Layla who ran to tag Michelle in only to realise she was in the wrong corner. Another time saw Beth use a giant swing on Layla with Michelle in close proximity, resulting in Layla becoming a human skipping rope. |
| 158 | ** For the second season of NXT, [=LayCool=] are pros on the show. Their rookie? Kaval (aka indy star Wrestling/LowKi). A pair of bubbly, fashion-obsessed [[AlphaBitch mean girls]] paired with an intense, no-nonsense wrestler who has a reputation for maintaining kayfabe...and for kicking the crap out of his opponents. Their interactions so far have consisted of Kaval holding their belts and looking disgusted and bewildered while the two act like complete [[BrainlessBeauty airheads]]. |
| 159 | * On the 6/21/10 edition of RAW, a recently-fired Virgil asked what Wrestling/{{Ted DiBiase|Jr}} was going to do with protection now that he traded Virgil up for Wrestling/{{Maryse}}. Ted's response was, "go to the [[TrojanGauntlet drugstore"]]. |
| 160 | * Wrestling/UnforgivenWWE 2005: resident [[TheDitz ditz]] Wrestling/{{Maria|Kanellis}} begins her pre-match interview with Chris Masters by asking him "Why do they call you The Masturbates?". Easily the funniest thing Maria ever did in-character. |
| 161 | * From a parody of a skit done by the NFL, "You may not realize this, but you're African-American." [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2cwywc And everyone knows African-Americans are attracted to Canadian white women with broken noses.]] |
| 162 | * July 16, 2010. Wrestling/TheBigShow pulling off CM Punk's mask. |
| 163 | -->'''Matt Striker''': He doesn't look ''that'' bad. He looks like Big Show Junior! |
| 164 | * At one edition of Hell in a Cell, Wrestling/RandyOrton fails to throw the steel steps over the top rope into the ring. He gets booed and he gives the crowd the "up yours!" gesture. |
| 165 | * Wrestling/TheMiz stealing [=Edge=]'s Slim Jim at [=SummerSlam=] 2010. It's just so damn petty. |
| 166 | * Triple H turns 40...and [[http://www.tmz.com/2009/07/28/triple-h-victim-of-birthday-cake-attack/ jobs to the entire cake-wielding RAW roster]]. The best part is Wrestling/{{Batista}} doing his machine gunning pose with a cake. |
| 167 | * The Big Show goes looking for the Hardy Boyz. He stars knocking down random doors in the back area, but behind one door...are The Undertaker and Wrestling/{{Kane}}. The hilarious one liner that Taker tosses off after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE-XusqL5-w beating the everloving crap out of Big Show?]] "[[SeriousBusiness Next time]], ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking knock!]]''" |
| 168 | * John Cena is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=914kBs8KNvA interviewed by Maria in 2006]]. Vince [=McMahon=] is running Raw from a cell phone because his first granddaughter has just been born, and the assorted chaos that has ensued means Cena's just about had enough. After [[DistractedByTheSexy hitting on Maria]] (and [[TheDitz asking if she ate paint chips when she was a kid]]), he goes off on how [=Edge=] is "rated PG-13", Randy Orton's been hitting on Brooke Hogan, and how Armando Estrada should "park [his] ass and shut [his] piehole". |
| 169 | -->''Carlito - okay, at this point Carlito's hair has gotten way outta control! So much stuff is going on, the walls are closing in, everybody's looking at me! They think I'm gonna flip out . . . Tonight, my partner is Ric Flair, and I get to kick [=Edge=]'s ass! Call me!'' |
| 170 | * In 2003, after an angle that saw [[Wrestling/HulkHogan Hogan]] fired and slapped with a restraining order against Vince, promos for a new AllAmericanFace called Mr. America began appearing. Cue to Mr. America's debut on ''[=SmackDown=]'', and lo and behold its Hogan in glaringly obvious [[CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown flimsy disguise]]. The best part was that unlike some other cases of fake disguises, Hulk's was pure RefugeInAudacity as he didn't even try to change his in-ring style, manner of speech, or even his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl3TnqUumfU entrance]]. |
| 171 | -->'''Taz''': I hear he's bald. Like an eagle. |
| 172 | * This is an internet creation, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g701p3qeIww WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG]]. [=Edge=]'s promoing has never been so . . . classical. |
| 173 | ** In much the same vein, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAVnuVzw6m8 YES YES YES YES]]! |
| 174 | * Latest episode, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeL39NUqj3Q&feature=channel has The Big Show 'interviewing' himself on Smackdown]]. |
| 175 | * The time Wrestling/WilliamRegal and Wrestling/{{Goldust}} had to switch costumes for their match. |
| 176 | -->'''Wrestling/JerryLawler''': He could be Goldust's stunt double! |
| 177 | * The Undertaker vs. Wrestling/JeffHardy. 'Taker was annoyed at a fan who kept yelling at him to piledrive Jeff. He responds with "Shut up, stupid!" |
| 178 | * '''November 1, 2010''', A [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JsJh3_-6mM segment that night]] on consisted of a sketch revealing before commercial break that Mr. [=McMahon=] has been in a coma for two months. His doctor (played by Freddie Prinze Jr.) casually mentions that it will be a shame that Mr. [=McMahon=] will miss the entire election when his wife Linda spent $50 million on the campaign. Mr. [=McMahon=] is wrestled awake by this news, covered in his wife's campaign stickers, and finally says that it's okay as long as the WWE is running smoothly. The doctor proceeds to list everything that's been going WRONG (Undertaker buried, NEXUS running wild, Pee Wee Herman hosting, etc.) and Mr. [=McMahon=] gets up to leave the room, saying if his wife can run for Senate, he can run for PRESIDENT, exiting to reveal his backside covered by a banner of his wife's opponent. Cut to his daughter Stephanie awaking in bed, Newhart style, and the following exchange: |
| 179 | -->'''Stephanie''': I just had this horrible dream...hey, [[ContinuityNod is my dad still in a coma?]]\ |
| 180 | '''Triple H''': ''(off-screen)'' Yeah, he's in a coma; I'm pretty sure he's brain-dead.\ |
| 181 | '''Stephanie''': ''(smiling)'' Thank god. ''(flops back to the bed, goes back to sleep)'' |
| 182 | ** And before that, we had the hilarious Pee Wee Herman segment, featuring the Secret Word ("Ring"), The Miz coming out, everyone freaking out when he said it, Alex Riley being Pee Wee's biggest fan, and The Big Show in full Pee Wee Herman getup. |
| 183 | * The 2010 Survivor Series featured a 5v5 team elimination match. During the match "Dashing" Wrestling/CodyRhodes [[NotInTheFace gets slapped in the face]]. Cue an epic temper tantrum and Cody storming out to the announcers table. However, instead of getting a chair or something he has someone hold out a mirror to make sure that he's still as good looking as before. |
| 184 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9czv1l4gUY BALONEY, FUDGE AND MUSTARD! THE INTERNET IS RUINING JOHN CENA'S LIFE!]] |
| 185 | ** Even funnier is the email address bit. Apparently it's "candypants564@gmail.com" - it's a nonprofit thing, okay?! |
| 186 | * The 11/22/10 Raw, where John Cena is giving his "retirement" speech and [[LampshadeHanging hangs a lampshade]] on exactly what his demographic is: |
| 187 | -->''All right, if this is going to be the last time, I want to hear half the arena chant "LET'S GO CENA!" and the other half chant "CENA SUCKS!" . . . No, no, it has to be all the kids and women chanting "LET'S GO CENA" and all the men over 18 chanting "CENA SUCKS!"'' |
| 188 | ** CM Punk also happened to be on commentary that night, so he chanted Cena Sucks with the crowd. |
| 189 | * The whole [=Edge=] abduction of Wrestling/PaulBearer and Wrestling/{{Kane}}'s reactions. |
| 190 | * The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nryf8GFjI5U "And I Quote" Slammy Award Video Package]] is basically a large collection of these, both intentional and [[{{Narm}} unintentional]], and by extension counts as one itself. |
| 191 | * This exchange between [[strike:[[WrestlingFamily the Rhodes wrestling family]]]] Cody Rhodes, [=Goldust=], and Wrestling/DustyRhodes, from the old-school WWE RAW: |
| 192 | -->'''Goldust''': Perhaps you could share with me some of your grooming tips...?\ |
| 193 | ''(Goldust inhales sharply, but Cody cuts him off.)''\ |
| 194 | '''Cody Rhodes''': Don't breathe on me. ''[Exit]''\ |
| 195 | '''Goldust''': Wait! Help a brother out! ''[Exit]''\ |
| 196 | ''({{Beat}})''\ |
| 197 | '''Dusty Rhodes''': Man, I raised some weird kids... |
| 198 | ** This may have become HarsherInHindsight considering what the Rhodes Family is presently going through in storyline. |
| 199 | * [[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1oljb The Royal Rumble 2005 ad]]. WWE meets Theatre/WestSideStory. WHAT THE HELL. |
| 200 | * Eli Cottonwood on the subject of mustaches: |
| 201 | -->'''Eli''': What is a mustache? ''(chuckle)'' It's a little bit of hair, growing over the upper lip. [[BlatantLies I don't have one]]...I have the best mustache of them all...\ |
| 202 | ''(John Morrison [[FacePalm hangs his head and covers his face with his clipboard]])''\ |
| 203 | '''Michael Cole''': [[DumbassHasAPoint I thought he said he didn't have a mustache]]...\ |
| 204 | '''Eli''': The mustache for a real man!\ |
| 205 | ''(Wrestling/MarkHenry pantomimes an airplane falling out of the sky and crashing)'' |
| 206 | * The first 3/4ths of John Cena's return promo on the 12.20 Raw (until the needless Vickie Guererro bashing). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFcu0mo5HXc Wherein he shows his dropping 23 chairs on Wade Barrett from four camera angles and makes it impossible for Vickie Guererro to get a word out]]. |
| 207 | ** Specifically this bit: |
| 208 | ---> '''Cena''': I'm gonna do something I should have done a long time ago. *runs over to a fan in the front row and hugs him* I just hugged it out with the "We Hate Cena" guy. We're good! |
| 209 | * Santino VS Kozlov ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0im-TCGEgh0 DANCE OFF!]]'' |
| 210 | * Derrick Bateman and Wrestling/BryanDanielson stand for chicks... AND AMERICA! Oh, and submission wrestling. |
| 211 | * YMMV, Cena, acting as Guest Referee for a CM Punk and Wade Barret match with the loser's group barred from the Royal Rumble, disqualifying both. His reason? |
| 212 | ---> '''Cena''': Double disqualification, [[DisproportionateRetribution they used too much profanity]]. [[LighterAndSofter This is a PG show]]! |
| 213 | ** [[http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfleklreqH1qzh0wto1_250.gif Him miming sweeping]] of the New Nexus from ringside and [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfleudWNGp1qzh0wto1_250.gif his invoking of Leslie Nielsen in the Naked Gun]] when he threw out The Corre. |
| 214 | ** When the Raw GM's email buzzed, you can hear Cena mutter to himself, "What I did was GENIUS!" |
| 215 | * NXT in general tends to be funny due to the snarky commentating. But it gets bonus points for just how much it paints the fourth wall, whether it's Wrestling/DolphZiggler half-jokingly accusing a challenge of being rigged and Matt replying "Ya think?" or Josh Matthews flat out saying during a wedding segment "You realize this isn't a real wedding, right?" and Cole replying in mock surprise, "Really?!" |
| 216 | * Eddie Guerrero had some Mexican food delivered to himself on ''[=SmackDown=]''. The Big Show decided he wanted it, took the delivery, and ate it before hitting the ring. Once there, he had some...internal distress (said food was spiked ahead of time by Eddie), and took off for the restroom-only to find that Eddie had already removed all the TP. |
| 217 | ** Yet again Eddie proves he is hot with the fans. Someone get Show some wrap-around sunglasses. |
| 218 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfhke2UE_2E This]] fan-cam footage from a house show in Beaumont, Texas. The guy recording is dressed up as Wrestling/{{Sheamus}}. When [=Sheamus=] goes to the other side (read: his) of the ring to pander to the crowd, he sees the guy dressed as him and his gimmick ''grinds to a complete stop.'' Not only does it completely derail [=Sheamus=], but he stares at the guy for several long seconds; he even points him out to the official as if to say, "You see this too, right?". |
| 219 | * Vickie Guerrero tries to spear [=Edge=]...and ''fails''. She bounces harmlessly off of him, and (apparently) busting her ankle in the process. |
| 220 | * The entire Great Khali Kiss-Cam (Valentine's Day edition) segment on the 2/14/11 RAW. The audience couples were the typical fare, but when the wrestlers themselves got involved, well... |
| 221 | ** Santino Marella and Wrestling/{{Tamina|Snuka}} kiss, with Santino's left hand trying to sneak in edgewise as his "Cobra." |
| 222 | ** [[http://yfrog.com/gyimvokj William Regal kissing Zack Ryder]] And Wrestling/ZackRyder's tweet of [[http://yfrog.com/h0z70erj a photo]] of him kissing William Regal back. |
| 223 | ** Ted [=DiBiase=] (the younger) and Maryse. Maryse pulls away and gives him the talk-to-the-hand gesture...then turns and plants one on the very stunned face of Yoshi Tatsu. |
| 224 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi8mIK-ehZc When Zack met Rosa]]. It's not often you see a BigLippedAlligatorMoment in pro wrestling. |
| 225 | * Cena taking all of the piss out of The Rock's TakeThat at him by [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDjrW5hKplE eating Fruity Pebbles before his match at the Elimination Chamber]]. |
| 226 | ** '''February 21, 2011''' Cena's verbal retaliation the week after The Rock's return on Raw where he launches into his old gimmick as the Doctor of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QStBadC8P-o&feature=related Thuganomics.]] |
| 227 | *** That noise you heard was the [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome massive pop]] of the millions [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson and millions]] of [[Wrestling/MichaelCole vintage]] Cena fans. |
| 228 | * Wrestling/{{Aksana}}, the Lithuanian from season 3 of NXT is one walking CMOF and half the time we're not sure she's doing it on purpose. During the "Talk The Talk" challenge on the show, her topic was a llama...and she had no idea what it was. Striker changed it to camel...and she didn't know what a camel was either. During the "Power of the Punch" challenge, her score was [[NimberoftheBeast 666]]. During a "Diss the Diva" challenge, she remarked that she thought she saw fellow contestant on ''[[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]]'', fighting for her babies. Then there's all her talking about being beaten with shovels. |
| 229 | ** Her elimination from the contest was her grand swan song. When she found out, she promptly fainted and tried to tell everyone it was a mistake. She then assured them that she was going to write a letter to Wrestling/VinceMcMahon demanding a recount. |
| 230 | * A minor one but during a blink and you miss it squash match with Wrestling/{{LayCool}} against Wrestling/GailKim and Melina, the latter two were mimicking the formers' ValleyGirl [[HoYay Les Yay]] personalities. |
| 231 | * Another BigLippedAlligatorMoment that involves Wrestling/RosaMendes. During a mixed tag match featuring Layla and the Dude Busters, out came Rosa with her skipping rope. The Dude Busters then got down from their positions at ringside and started spinning the rope for her while Matt Striker sang "my grandpa and your grandpa". Layla's tantrum was the icing on the cake. |
| 232 | * Santino Marella [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_OUtAb8xt8 "rapping."]] Even ''[[TheStoic Randy Orton]]'' was trying not to laugh. |
| 233 | * Wrestling/JerryLawler and Wrestling/JimRoss commenting on Wrestling/JohnMorrison's entrance at ''[=WrestleMania=] 27''. |
| 234 | -->'''Lawler:''' Can you go into slow motion, JR?\ |
| 235 | '''JR:''' I can simulate it. I'm in slow motion most of the time. |
| 236 | * Wrestling/BookerT comes out to celebrate with Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin and Wrestling/JerryLawler after ''[=WrestleMania=] 27''. He gets a beer from Austin...then as he drinks it, a [[FinishingMove Stone Cold Stunner]]. As Booker falls back, [[SpitTake the beer gushes from his mouth in a wide arc]]. |
| 237 | * The first person eliminated from Tough Enough 2011 said their favorite match was ''Melina vs Alicia Fox.'' Austin's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Runl2i7pV-s reaction]] is priceless. |
| 238 | * From the 25th April 2011 edition of Raw, the Draft Pick. Kofi Kingston has just pinned [=Sheamus=] for ''[=SmackDown=]'''s victory and Draft pick. Cue the ENTIRE ''[=SmackDown=]'' lockerroom, led by newly drafted John Cena, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pe6KDQrRx7k doing Kofi's signature clapping]], even heels like Tyler Reks and Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre getting involved. The funniest reactions are definitely Del Rio, who's clapping normally along and clearly thinking "What the hell is going on here...?" and Brodus Clay - who is just sitting there all forlorn and doesn't join the clapping. |
| 239 | * The Royal Rumble has provided a few over the years: |
| 240 | ** Wrestling/{{Kane}} eliminating the Honky Tonk Man in 2001 immediately after he sang his song-- grabbing his guitar and smashing him over the head with it. And then shaking his head slowly. |
| 241 | -->'''Wrestling/JimRoss''': I think Kane is tired of the song. |
| 242 | ** In the 2002 Royal Rumble match, Austin and Triple H were in the ring with the Hurricane and the Hurricane got the goozle on both of them, prepping them for a chokeslam. They sold it like he's The Undertaker or Kane for about five seconds before they both looked at each other and realized they're being choked by ''the freakin' Hurricane.'' Just as it dawned on the Hurricane that he just grabbed the necks of the two most decorated wrestlers of the Rumble that year, they grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him over the ropes. |
| 243 | ** In the 2004 Royal Rumble match, Wrestling/ChrisBenoit and Wrestling/RandyOrton had just eliminated several guys in a row and then collapsed from exhaustion. The announcers mentioned that the next person to come out would have a huge advantage. But that person turned out to be Ernest "The Cat" Miller, who decided to dance to his theme music alongside his ostentatiously-wigged manager, Lamont, instead. Benoit and Orton were not amused, and threw ''both'' of them over the top rope. |
| 244 | -->'''Wrestling/{{Tazz}}:''' "Well, the ''wig's'' eliminated." |
| 245 | * The "Gimmick Battle Royal" at ''[=WrestleMania=] X-7'' was pretty much one big CMOF due to the return of many SoBadItsGood old favourites and having Wrestling/BobbyHeenan on commentary. |
| 246 | --> '''Heenan''': "[[DeadpanSnarker By the time]] Wrestling/TheIronSheik [[DeadpanSnarker gets to the ring it'll be WrestleMania 38.]]"\ |
| 247 | \ |
| 248 | '''Heenan''': This man (Repo Man) is nuts! Last week he repoed his own car. |
| 249 | -->'''Okerlund''': About five years ago, he got my mother-in-law. |
| 250 | -->'''Heenan''': About four years ago, [[DoubleEntendre everybody got your mother-in-law]]. |
| 251 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWN-kbKZcq8 Just a Sexy Kurt]] |
| 252 | * The Sandman one ups Carlito. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7LRx66Uy8I Ron Simmons was needed for this one]] |
| 253 | * AxCrazy [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Black Woman]] [[Wrestling/KiaStevens Kharma]] gets a [[http://www.wwe.com/superstars/divas/divas/diva-focus-2011-05-13 Diva Photo Shoot]]. It starts normally enough [[spoiler:until we get a series of first-person shots where Kharma assaults the photographer]]. |
| 254 | * Michael Hayes is doing a typical heel promo and calls out the audience for being stupid and being unable to spell the word 'ambition'. He then proceeds to mock them by suggesting a spelling bee. He goes: "A... m... i..." (FacePalm) before the referee interrupts him about needing to start the match. |
| 255 | * [[Wrestling/ChrisJericho TALK ABOUT]] [[Wrestling/WadeBarrett BARRETT!]] |
| 256 | ** We are! |
| 257 | *** MORE! |
| 258 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeTMkRKqmkw "DOO! DI DI DI DI DI DI DOOO!" * runs from security* ]] |
| 259 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uheittbFE7E R-Truth joins the Confederacy.]] |
| 260 | -->'''Michael Cole''': Finally, some sanity!\ |
| 261 | '''Jerry Lawler''': ...sanity? [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Don't you mean]] ''in''sanity?\ |
| 262 | ''(Enter R-Truth, dressed up in a Confederate soldier costume)''\ |
| 263 | '''Jerry Lawler''': ''[[SarcasmFailure What?!]]'' |
| 264 | ** Stone Cold Steve Austin sees Confederate!RTruth, [[StunnedSilence tries to say something in response]], [[SarcasmFailure fails]], and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere buggers off]]. |
| 265 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEhYIWyb5Bg "USED TA IS A ROOSTAH FROM BREWSTAH!"]] said R-Truth. John Cena then glanced [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall at the hard-cam]] and then immediately started {{Corpsing}}. |
| 266 | ** Before the MITB match, R-Truth insisted that the match being a ladder match was part of the conspiracy against him because Little Jimmy knew he had acrophobia. |
| 267 | *** He then went on to confuse ''acro''phobia[[note]]fear of heights[[/note]] with ''arachno''phobia[[note]]fear of spiders[[/note]]. |
| 268 | * During his first stint in WWE, Scott Levy, a.k.a. Wrestling/{{Raven}}, was given the SoBadItsGood gimmick of Johnny Polo, and worked primarily as a manager and sometimes color commentator. To his credit, Raven made the character ''hilarious'' to listen to. Especially when paired up with Wrestling/Gorilla Monsoon: |
| 269 | -->''(during a Wrestling/BretHart vs. Yokozuna match, when Yokozuna slowly falls to the mat)''\ |
| 270 | '''Gorilla''': It took him forever to fall to the ground!\ |
| 271 | '''Polo''': Well, [[ShownTheirWork 568 lbs. x 9.8 feet-per-second]], [[GeniusBonus that's the force of gravity]]!\ |
| 272 | '''Gorilla''': ''(exasperated)'' Will you ''stop?!'' |
| 273 | * Steve Austin to [[Wrestling/DLoBrown D'Lo Brown]]: "[[HoYay You're so insensitive.]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8IVbdGOC9I You dialed zero when you called me last night.]]" |
| 274 | * [[Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage DDP]] helping [=Christian=] return to his winning ways. Specifically Christian's [[http://youtu.be/3k4rRnLAt_E positive smiles]] and DDP [[http://youtu.be/3hkxZhwG57U repeatedly]] [[http://youtu.be/wREcjhQI3pU sneaking up]] behind Christian |
| 275 | * During the Power to the People, technical difficulties resulted in Mason Ryan getting put into a match with Wrestling/EvanBourne. Since Mason bears [[IdenticalStranger more than a passing resemblance to]] Wrestling/{{Batista}}, the obviously upset crowd, hoping for a match between Sin Cara and Bourne, decided to have some fun. |
| 276 | --> '''Crowd''': (Not two seconds into the match) '''BA! TIS! TA! BA! TIS! TA!''' |
| 277 | * Miz + R-Truth + Christian = [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaHVg2ADvow comedic gold]] |
| 278 | * On the 8/22 edition of Raw, a fan tossed John Cena back his shirt. Alberto Del Rio's reaction is especially priceless. |
| 279 | * On the 9/26 episode of RAW, Christian comes out [[OncePerEpisode once again]] to complain to Triple H that he got screwed out of the title when [=Sheamus=] threw him into the ring allowing Wrestling/MarkHenry to beat him. Triple H's response? |
| 280 | --> '''Triple H''': It was a Lumberjack match, you idiot. |
| 281 | ** Also, his response to Trips putting him in a match with WWE Champion John Cena. |
| 282 | --> '''Christian''': Is it for the title? |
| 283 | --> '''Triple H''': No. |
| 284 | --> '''Christian''': *Hissyfit* |
| 285 | ** Also, Cody Rhodes (given the night off due to being injured the past week on ''[=SmackDown=]'') made some snide remarks to Triple H, prompting Triple H to increase the number of competitors he would face from just one competitor to a 10 man battle royal. |
| 286 | * October 31, 2011: [=Sheamus=] meets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhFniiuj77Y Beaker.]] (Itself a CallBack to when Edge referred to [=Sheamus=] as such) |
| 287 | --> '''Kermit''': We're sorry Mr. Swagger, Miss Piggy and I don't want to anger you or your...mother[[note]] Vickie Guerreo[[/note]]. |
| 288 | * William Regal's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A4bj5rAmS8 entrance]] on Superstars during their November 2011 UK tour. Even Regal cracks up on his way to the ring.** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHuLxV5Eiu0&t=22m45s Even better, it was edited into the show.]] |
| 289 | * October 16, 2011: Sin Cara Azul defeats Sin Cara Negro and pulls his mask off. Negro covers his face with his hands and runs away screaming. |
| 290 | -->'''Wrestling/BookerT''': No wonder why he was wearing a mask, that guy's '''ugly'''! |
| 291 | -->'''Wrestling/MichaelCole''': Huh? What are you talking about? [[DumbassHasAPoint He's just a Mexican guy with a crewcut]]. |
| 292 | -->'''Booker T''': Look at him, he's '''hideous'''! |
| 293 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4vazAMeROA This exchange]] after Triple H and R-Truth are talking to invisible people. The audience reaction to R-Truth's counter to HHH is priceless. |
| 294 | --> Triple H: Truth, he doesn't like how that guy's eyeballing him. |
| 295 | --> R-Truth: Man, you crazy. You're talkin' to people that don't exist. |
| 296 | --> Triple H: (full SarcasmMode) I know, it's like I'm insane. |
| 297 | * The Miracle on 34th Street Fight between Randy Orton & Wrestling/DavidOtunga during the special Holiday Edition of ''Wrestling/WWESmackDown'', featuring such moments of hilarity like Orton chomping down on holiday cookies, tossing a present box at a fleeing Otunga (nailing him right in the head), and even [[LargeHam screaming out "HO HO HO!"]] |
| 298 | * The "Pipe Bomb of The Year" Slammy Award video montage which, as per tradition, takes all the unintentionally (or intentionally?) hilarious lines said during the year in the WWE and put into one comical video, provides us with a look back at these [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDnkF6wwh6U gems]]. |
| 299 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrSlT2e3Xis&feature=related Austin Gets X-Pac]] |
| 300 | ** "And X-Pac, the only thing good about you is that your name rhymes with six pack!" |
| 301 | * How does [=Aksana=] react when Teddy Long says she'll be learning from Wrestling/AliciaFox? By jumping up and down and squealing with delight that he got Music/{{Rihanna}}. |
| 302 | * ''No Mercy 2004'': Bubba Ray Dudley orders Jackie Gayda to kiss him, and foolishly closes his eyes and puckers up. [[CampGay Rico]] kisses him instead. Bubba enjoys it, then realizes what happened and has a FreakOut. Later, The Dudleys attempt the "Wazzzup" (Bubba holds an opponent down and Devon hits a diving headbutt to the groin) on Rico, but Rico rubs his thighs suggestively, causing Devon to stop and refuse to deliver the headbutt in disgust. |
| 303 | * |
| 304 | --> '''Stephanie [=McMahon=]''': I loved the way you beat up Chris Jericho last night, but my philosophy is "once is never enough." |
| 305 | --> '''Wrestling/RobVanDam''': [[ReallyGetsAround Yeah, I heard that about you]]. |
| 306 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B10YocEr66A Johnny Curtis and Maxine kidnap Matt Striker.]] |
| 307 | --> '''Maxine''': Why do you have chloroform?! |
| 308 | --> '''Johnny Curtis''': Why DON'T I have chloroform? |
| 309 | * Any segment involving Dr. Shelby, whether on ''[=SmackDown=]!'' or ''Raw'' has been comedy gold. |
| 310 | * WWE released [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWqhpkAat0E this version]] of "Jingle Bells" for Christmas. The fact that the likes of Wrestling/DamienSandow, Randy Orton, and even Ryback singing in this is downright bizarre and absolutely hilarious. |
| 311 | * Big Show using a comically oversized steel chair to take out Sheamus in a Chairs Match at the 2012 ''WWE TLC'' pay-per-view is a hilarious sight to behold. |
| 312 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3vDkHEOjo8&feature=youtu.be&t=11m36s Dean Ambrose's reaction to being flipped onto a ladder by Ryback]] at the 2012 TLC pay-per-view. |
| 313 | * On Main Event January 16, 2013, Regular Color commentator The Miz is recovering from an attack from The Shield. Taking his place is Wrestling/BradMaddox who jumps the barrier and casually commentates with Michael Cole; all the while Cole is telling Maddox he doesn't work there. |
| 314 | * On the 7/26/13 episode of ''[=SmackDown=]'' in Corpus Christi, TX, Cody Rhodes stole Damien Sandow's Money in the Bank briefcase during a match. As Sandow stood in the ring demanding Cody's arrest, he appeared on the Titantron offering to give Damien the briefcase back if he met him across the street from the arena... which happens to be right at the banks of the Gulf of Mexico. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-IMJFbapGI What follows thereafter must be seen to be believed.]] |
| 315 | * The Intercontinental Championship match at Elimination Chamber 2015. Between Mark Henry having to enter the match early after Wade Barrett destroyed his chamber pod, Dolph Ziggler breaking {{Kayfabe}} to yell out instructions to everyone as the match falls apart, and Sheamus accidentally [[EpicFail locking himself in his chamber pod]], the whole thing ends up feeling like a comedy of errors. |
| 316 | * WWE Network's original sketch comedy series, "The Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} and Wrestling/{{Christian}} Show", features plenty of great segments revisiting and parodying WWE events past and present, and even goes out of its way to provide insider references and jokes for "smart" fans. |
| 317 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWM-9oqhYGs "Will WWE Talk About It?"]], featuring Wrestling/AJStyles. |
| 318 | ** [[https://twitter.com/WWE/status/709581910163390464 "Sh*t WWE Fans Say".]] |
| 319 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uv4pz_N4UV8 A special weather report]] on "buried" Superstars. [[spoiler: The Network version features a surprise reference to "Tropical Storm Hogan's" legal victory!]] |
| 320 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqIVmFaHA8BqBNnIRqhl0E2pDEqF0CNgo "Southpaw Regional Wrestling"]], a series of shorts for WWE.com featuring Superstars parodying classic territory wrestling. There's too many hilarious moments to list. |
| 321 | * At Royal Rumble 2017 during the championship match, [[https://derpibooru.org/1351362 someone]] held up a sign with [[Characters/FriendshipIsMagicApplejack Applejack]] dressed as AJ Styles, reading "[[FunWithAcronyms AJ]] is [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic best pony]]" |
| 322 | * WWE Great Balls of Fire. Naming a Pay-Per-View after a Jerry Lee Lewis song. In 2017. It didn't take long for ''Website/WrestleCrap'' to joke that Vince [=McMahon=] [[http://www.wrestlecrap.com/headlies/headlies-vince-mcmahon-goes-through-his-record-collection-to-come-up-with-more-ppv-names/ would go through his vinyl collection to come up with more PPV names.]] |
| 323 | ** Related to it, the logo for Great Balls of Fire is a pair of comets with a suspiciously phallic trail behind it! |
| 324 | *** It gets funnier when a fan tweeted at Sasha Banks if it's what it seems. Her answer? Yes. |
| 325 | ** Then, the show itself had AccidentalInnuendo of its own when [[http://d21q6rmu4kr1cl.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/10034300/wweballs01.jpg when several]] [[http://d21q6rmu4kr1cl.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/10034742/wweballs02.jpg wrestlers' heads]] got in the way of screens in the arena and on the stage, causing them to [[TheProblemWithPenisLand read]] "[[GroinAttack EAT BALLS]]" and [[Wrestling/EnzoAndCass "BIG ASS"]]. |
| 326 | * While JBL's time as Commentator was not the best, he sometimes gives very funny quick jokes that just gets you laughing. |
| 327 | ** At [=WrestleMania=] 32, Shane vs Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match, Shane made his entrance with his kids and as he helped them to their seats, he kissed his wife before entering the ring. |
| 328 | --> '''Michael Cole''': He's kissing his wife for good luck. |
| 329 | --> '''JBL''': Or a Kiss Goodbye? |
| 330 | * Wrestling/JinderMahal throwing a metric ton of anti-Asian racist slurs at Wrestling/ShinsukeNakamura? [[DudeNotFunny Not funny, no matter how much heat you're trying to build]]. The crowd responding to Jinder's use of JapaneseRanguage with "THAT'S TOO FAR!" chants? Oddly hilarious. |
| 331 | * Everything about Drew Gulak's Campaign for a Better 205 Live. From the 277 slides of his POWERPOINT PRESENTATION, to him attempting to stop a dive while beating down Enzo Amore, he nails the role each and every week. |
| 332 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw8LXy7A3_c The Ultimate Deletion]]. Words cannot describe the kind of insanity that took place at the Hardy compound. |
| 333 | * [[https://youtu.be/MHg2z9ZgdEc Entrance themes]] in spoken word format by Creator/WilliamShatner. The [[LargeHam ham factor]] gets cranked up, culminating in a hilarious series of {{Evil Laugh}}s during Triple H's theme. |
| 334 | * This moment from New Day's 2018 recap on SmackDown features them unwittingly conjuring Becky Lynch as a giantess! It's equal parts awesome and hilarious! https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/a8dc7j/the_new_day_attempt_to_summon_becky_lynch_after/ |
| 335 | * The feud between Wrestling/KevinOwens and Wrestling/{{Elias}} involving the latter's new gimmick of being his brother, Ezekiel, and Kevin being the only one not to buy it, came to a head in Wrestling/HellInACell 2022 where the two had a match. This match was punctuated with Kevin constantly screaming out "His Name is Elias!" and variations of the same with his grip on sanity getting weaker by the second. This in itself might have been worrying but, by the time the word Elias has been uttered about the 20th time, it flips right around to being hilarious. |
| 336 | * On [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqdVrQ6p8uY one episode]] of ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' in 1999, Vince set up a match between Triple H and [[Wrestling/DaveyBoySmith British Bulldog]] for the WWF Championship with The Rock as a special referee. Rock, who detested both man (he was Triple H's main rival at that time and Bulldog had screwed Rock out of the title before), decided that he would use this opportunity to play the EasilyDistractedReferee trope to its fullest. At no point did he try to give either Hunter or Bulldog a chance the win as he was more interested in chatting to the fans, joining the commentary booth, and/or screwing either opponent which led to some noteworthy highlights: |
| 337 | ** Trips running to the ringside during his entrance when he realized that The Rock had beaten up Bulldog before the match had even started. |
| 338 | ** The Rock ''clapping'' to Triple H when Trips hit the Pedigree to the Bulldog. |
| 339 | ** Triple H, understandably angry that The Rock didn't count the pinfall, retaliated back to The Rock only to get countered back as The Rock hit Hunter with the Rock Bottom. Bulldog opportunistically made a pin afterwards and after a bit of stalling because The Rock briefly went back to the commentary booth, this pinfall count happened: |
| 340 | --->'''The Rock''': "1... 2... '''''IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE ROCK COUNTS TO 3'''''!!!" |
| 341 | ** The famous ''sliding'' People's Elbow. When Rock bounced off the ropes for the last part of People's Elbow, he slides from the ropes to the center of the ring due to his dress shoes, but he was able to maintain his balance and finished the move anyway, turning what could've been an embarrassing botch into a legendary highlight. |
| 342 | ** After the Elbow moment, The Rock took the championship belt, rang the bell, and declared ''himself champion'', leaving both Hunter and Bulldog to chase him backstage. |
| 343 | ** Hunter, after getting his belt back following an ambush by The Rock, returned to his locker room when he begged for Wrestling/{{Chyna}} to open the door. To his surprise, it was ''Austin'' who came out of the door instead. The results were predictable. |
| 344 | * The Kennel from Hell match between Wrestling/AlSnow and the Wrestling/BigBossman at ''Unforgiven'' 1999. The match was supposed to involve a pack of vicious Rottweilers in between a steel cage and a Hell in a Cell, with the goal being to escape both cages without being torn to shreds. The only problem is that the dogs weren't even remotely vicious[[note]]The initial plan was to use K9 units from the local police department. When the police refused to loan the dogs, WWF were forced to contact local Rottweiler owners instead. [[/note]]. They happily trotted out to the ring with their owners and even lunged towards the fans in a matter that suggested they were trying to get petted. One of the dogs urinated on the floor as soon as it entered the cell (which caused Jerry Lawler to laugh on commentary). According to reports, the dogs also defecated on the floor and some even tried to mate. They completely ignored the wrestlers and spent most of the match barking at each other. And when the match was over and the dogs chased Bossman out of the arena, one of the owners tripped and fell on top of his dog. |
| 345 | * Unforgiven 2001: After The Undertaker and Kane defeat KroniK, Steven Richards (Who had come out to the ring with KroniK and blames 'Taker for the Right To Censor falling apart) attempts to attack the former with a steel chair, only to stop in his place when the Deadman glares at him. Richards attempts to back away... only for him to realize he's backed into Kane, taking a few moments to put two and two together before realizing just how screwed he is. Jim Ross's snarky commentary alongside Paul Heyman's pleading really adds to the scene. |
| 346 | --->'''Jim Ross''': And what is Steven Richards thinking, he is unarmed... steel chair or not! |
| 347 | --->'''*Undertaker advances towards Richards, the latter slowly backing away*''' |
| 348 | --->'''Paul Heyman''': Oh no! Leave him alone! |
| 349 | --->'''Jim Ross''':...'Leave him alone(!)'. |
| 350 | --->'''Paul Heyman''': Leave him alone! |
| 351 | --->'''Jim Ross''': He's sensitive(!). He wouldn't hurt a... harm a... hair on your head(!) |
| 352 | --->'''*Richards backs into Kane. He face palms, then slowly feels at Kane's body*''' |
| 353 | --->'''Paul Heyman''': Forgive him, will you?! |
| 354 | --->'''Jim Ross''': His mouth is so big, he has three lips! Black hair or not! |
| 355 | --->'''*Richards turns around, eyes screwed shut with an expression that just screams ThisIsGonnaSuck, and then looks up at Kane*''' |
| 356 | --->'''Steven Richards''': Oh NOOOOOOOOO!!! No, please! |
| 357 | --->'''Jim Ross''': Don't look good, Steven! Steven Richards is begging! |
| 358 | --->'''Paul Heyman''': Come on, have some compassion! Show some mercy! PLEASE!! |
| 359 | --->'''*Kane grabs Richards by the throat and proceeds to chokeslam him, laying him out flat*''' |
| 360 | |
| 361 | * January 3, 2022: [=WWE=] reintroduces Scott Stanford to ''Raw Talk''....[[https://twitter.com/WWE/status/1478216616898928642 by posting a Tweet unintentionally referencing]] popular gaming [[Website/YouTube YouTuber]] WebVideo/ScottTheWoz. Bonus points for said tweet [[https://twitter.com/scottthewoz/status/1478453865653710849 being acknowledged by Scott Wozniak himself]]. |
| 362 | * January 18, 2024: During the ''Smackdown'' show, the camera points to a sign that says "Acknoledge my GYATT". Take note that the one holding the sign '''is a child'''. |
