* During a promo for House Party ‘99, Paul Heyman in his voiceover listed how many things happened at the first House Party three years prior, and each repetition of “three years” was more excited than the previous. After it was all done, Joey Styles looks at the camera and asks, [[DeadpanSnarker “How many years was that again?”]] A clipboard immediately flies in from off-camera, hits Joey in the head, and Heyman yells out, “THREE YEARS, SMARTASS!!”

* During his short (but remarkable) time in ECW after being in WCW, [[Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin Steve Austin]] got liberties to develop his wrestling persona (the basis to be "Stone Cold" born here), and he made notable CopycatMockery of both [[FaceOfTheBand faces of WCW]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqC0Jrcqg04 Eric Bischoff]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDQk-NPZyUk Hulk Hogan]] as part of his promos.

** As a bonus, after the announcers said not to throw chairs into the ring, [[LoopholeAbuse a fan threw]] [[ExactWords a garbage can instead]]. Also when Terry Funk got hit by one of those thrown chairs, he sold it like an actual chair shot.

** Even after Joel's neck healed from [[{{Kayfabe}} injury]], he continued to wear the soft neck brace...and would have a bow tie wrapped around it.
* [[Wrestling/{{TPE}} The Public Enemy]] had the line "You've got Wrestling/RicFlair flopping around the ring like he's having an epileptic seizure." complete with pantomimed Flair-flops... it was much funnier then it sounds.

* [[Wrestling/{{TPE}} The Public Enemy]] had the line "You've got Wrestling/RicFlair flopping around the ring like he's having an epileptic seizure." complete with pantomimed Flair-flops... it was much funnier then it sounds.
* Wrestling/JoeyStyles had some pretty funny one-liner reactions to what was going on in the ring. One of the things he would occasionally say (aside from replacing his trademark "OH MY GOD!!!" with "AY DIOS MIO!!!") happened whenever a luchador jumped from the ring so far he landed in one of the first few rows: "And it's Take-Home-A-Luchador night here in the ECW Arena!"
** (as the crowd breaks out into a chant of "[[{{HSQ}} Holy shit!]]") "My mother's gonna hate me for sayin' this, but...HOLY SHIT!"
*** The poor production values alone added fuel to the fire. Since typical ECW shows didn't have the big screen displays common in WCW and WWF/E, and since a match that starts in the ring isn't guaranteed to ''stay'' in the ring, parts of the crowd can end up left in the dark. One match involved two wrestlers brawling out behind the bleachers in one half of the building while fans in the other half chanted, "I CAN'T SEE SHIT! I CAN'T SEE SHIT!"
