History HumiliationConga / ProWrestling

* [[AlphaBitch Prissy]] Wrestling/JackieGayda got a well-deserved one at ''[=WrestleMania=] XX'' in 2004. She and Wrestling/StacyKeibler were booked to face Torrie Wilson and Wrestling/{{Sable}} in a ''Magazine/{{Playboy}}'' Evening Gown Match; unlike more traditional Evening Gown Matches, this one would begin with the participants willingly removing their gowns and wrestling the match under normal rules in their underwear. Sable, Stacy, and Torrie all obligingly removed their high-heeled shoes and gowns, but Miss Jackie played the role of a shameless cock-tease by slowly taking off each of her shoes....and then slipping back through the ring ropes and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere trying to leave the arena]]. Sable and Torrie weren't about to let this happen, though: Sable grabbed Miss Jackie and threw her back into the ring, and she and Torrie proceeded to tear off her white gown and matching long gloves to leave her in her lacy white undies. Then Torrie rolled Jackie up in a pin to win the match for her team, continuing to hold Jackie in the pin for several seconds with her butt pointing up into the air. ''Then'' Torrie delivered a spank to Jackie's upper thigh, which was bared by her skimpy white panties. And ''then'' Torrie grabbed Jackie's panties and yanked them down (or rather up, since Jackie was basically sitting on her head), exposing her butt crack to the entire world. Only then did Torrie release Miss Jackie from the hold, and the poor lovely hastily covered her coin slot and fled the arena sobbing in humiliation. Oh, and this happened in front of a crowd of 20,000 at Madison Square Garden in New York City - the single most famous forum for professional wrestling in all of world history? It just doesn't get more mortifying than that. (And, just to top things off, Miss Jackie was a {{Face}} when this all happened and remained a {{Face}} even afterward, which ''does'' make what happened to her seem rather unfair.)

** The [=McMahon=]/Austin feud of 1998 was filled with such moments for Vince. A big example was in May of 1998, a week after [=McMahon=] had [[Wrestling/MickFoley Dude Love]] beat up Austin. The next week on RAW, with police officers in the ring to protect him, [=McMahon=] bragged of having "assaulted" Austin. Austin then [[HoistByHisOwnPetard used Vince's own words against him]] to have the cops arrest [=McMahon=] for assault, handcuffing him in the ring. When Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco tried to interfere, Austin had them arrested too. He then kicked the handcuffed [=McMahon=] [[GroinAttack in the groin]], poured beer over his head and made the cops stuff Vince into a hot car for the rest of the show. Vince tried to get payback by having Austin face Wrestling/TheUndertaker with himself as the special referee. But that backfired as the Undertaker choke-slammed Vince and Austin then beat up the Stooges and Dude Love with a chair.

** It only got progressively worse for Edge after that -- after losing the World Title, he proceeded to JumpOffTheSlipperySlope the following ''Wrestling/SmackDown'', beating up everybody and breaking off his engagement with then-fiancée Wrestling/VickieGuerrero. When they finally get back together and get married, Wrestling/TripleH reveals in the reception that Edge had cheated on her with wedding planner Wrestling/AliciaFox. Then he loses the title match with Hunter for the WWE Championship. And after he begs for Vickie's forgiveness, she takes pity on him -- except not, as after accepting his apology, she revealed that she had reinstated '''''Wrestling/TheUndertaker''''' and had placed him in a "Wrestling/HellInACell" match against Edge at the following ''Wrestling/SummerSlam''. At which point Edge loses it completely, goes into complete SanitySlippage, and has arguably what is the most brutal "Hell in a Cell" match of the post-Wrestling/RuthlessAggressionEra. The match ends with him losing and getting "sent to hell" for three months until that year's ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries''.
* John "Bradshaw" Layfield got an agonizingly prolonged Conga during the fall of 2008 and throughout the winter and part of the spring of 2009. It all started in October when Batista rather handily defeated him to become the Number One Contender to the World Heavyweight Championship. JBL confessed to the crowd after the match that his heart hadn't really been in the competition because he was still distraught over losing his fortune in the recent stock market crash. He perked up a bit when he realized that he'd be getting bailout money from Congress, but then witnessed his private limousine being stolen by Cryme Tyme and a crew of Divas and taken for a joyride. A few months later, Wrestling/ShawnMichaels, who had also lost some investments in the crash but wasn't getting a bailout, agreed to become JBL's employee in order to support his family. JBL ordered him to help him win the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble, but things didn't go as planned: after the angry and conflicted Michaels [[TakeAThirdOption kicked]] ''[[TakeAThirdOption both]]'' [[TakeAThirdOption JBL and Cena in the face and then stormed out of the arena]], Cena managed to retain the title; JBL was also unsuccessful in a rematch. Furious, JBL threatened to fire Michaels before challenging him to a match at No Way Out that would either see JBL either buy out Michaels' contract to him with a large lump sum or essentially own the copyright to Shawn's name and likeness depending on the result. But JBL lost this match too, and got slapped in the face by Shawn's wife, Rebecca, as an added humiliation. He would then switch his focus and would set his sights on Wrestling/TheUndertaker and his infamous win streak. However, HBK would pin Bradshaw yet again to earn the right to challenge the streak. Determined to go to ''[=WrestleMania=]'' as a champion, JBL did manage to defeat CM Punk and win his Intercontinental Championship; he was then booked to face Wrestling/ReyMysterioJr at ''[=WrestleMania=] XXV'' as his challenger. JBL would promise the most dominant victory in [=WrestleMania=] history, but Mysterio (whom JBL had always viewed with contempt [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain due to his small size and Mexican heritage]]) totally embarrassed him by pinning him for the title in a mere 30 seconds! This final straw caused JBL to suffer a complete VillainousBreakdown and scream "I QUIT!" before leaving WWE for good.
** The true humiliation was that he kept thinking he had this destiny for ''[=WrestleMania=]''. First it was to defend/take the World Heavyweight Championship there (hence owning Michaels, who would help him do that). Then it was the Undertaker's streak. Then after he won the Intercontinental title it was the aforementioned "most dominant victory/title defense ever". But in the end, his legacy would be the shortest failed Intercontinental title defense in ''[=WrestleMania=]'' history. This can also count under some subverted variant of SelfFulfillingProphecy as well.
* Drew [=McIntyre=] had one of these between Elimination Chamber and ''[=WrestleMania=] 26'': He lost two matches trying to get into the Money in the Bank Ladder match, both of which were wiped clean by Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, preserving his undefeated streak. He finally got into the match after defeating a local wrestler, but the next week, he "officially" lost his first match against the Undertaker. Finally, on the last ''[=SmackDown!=]'' before [=WrestleMania=], he was in a ten-man tag team match and won the match for his team. Afterwards he mimicked what Dolph Ziggler did a week earlier, pulled a ladder out from under the ring and climb it to symbolically unhook the briefcase which hangs over the ring during matches tying into Money in the Bank prior to ''[=WrestleMania=]''. Midway through his climb, the nine other men in the match tipped over the ladder, causing him to fall, Matt Hardy and Kane, who beat Drew Mcintyre to get into the match, went on to topple the ladder onto [=McIntyre=], adding even more insult to injury. He then savagely beat up Matt Hardy whenever he got the chance. Wrestling/TeddyLong tried to stop one beating by threatening to first strip him of his title and then suspend him and carrying out both threats when Drew wouldn't let up...but the next week [=McMahon=] had overruled both decisions and [[KarmaHoudini Drew was back as the Intercontinental Champion]]. Drew also used his [[TeachersPet status as [=McMahon=]'s "Chosen One"]] to arrange for Long to face him in a match or lose his job. Once Long was in the ring, [=McIntyre=] used the threats of both physical violence and termination of his employment (which would mean being unable to financially support his family) to make Long get on his knees, declare Drew the "Chosen One", then crawl to the middle of the ring and lie on his back to let Drew pin him after calling him pathetic. But this wouldn't last; after Wrestling/TheNexus hospitalized Vince [=McMahon=], things got bad for Drew and progressed to [[FromBadToWorse worse]]. First, he was forced to defend his title against Wrestling/KofiKingston, and lost. Then, he was forced to face a recovered (and pissed) Matt Hardy, and he lost that match too. Immediately following that defeat, Teddy Long appeared on the big screen to inform Drew that his work visa had expired and that he was in the country illegally, before [[LaserGuidedKarma having security physically remove Drew from the premises and take him to be deported over his enraged protests]]. Drew managed to get his visa issues resolved, but upon his return to the U.S. he still didn't have [=McMahon=] to support him. So he publicly [[ProfessionalButtKisser kissed up to Teddy]], claiming that he realized the way he had treated Teddy had been wrong and to be sorry for it, and telling Teddy he was going to nominate him for the WWE Hall of Fame. Teddy used Drew's desperation to get into the upcoming ''[=SmackDown!=]'' Money In The Bank match to make him get on his knees and beg for the chance. A visibly galled [=McIntyre=] did so and was then told to say that Teddy was "the most handsome, debonair, high-class, sharp-dressed and intelligent" and that it was an honor and a privilege to have Teddy Long as his boss. All of which he did while trying to hold an extremely forced smile. Then he was told that he still wasn't in the MITB match.

** At ''Extreme Rules'' in a Last Man Standing match, Cena resorts to using [[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]] to tape his ankles behind the ring post, preventing him from getting up to the count of 10, thus suffering a ''very'' embarassing defeat.

** The following night on ''Raw'' was nothing short of this for Batista. He begins the night badly injured, in a wheelchair, and, most especially, in a ''very'' bad mood. He rants about Cena's actions and demands yet another title shot at him only to be interrupted by ring announcer Justin Roberts announcing Wrestling/BretHart as the new General Manager. Bret then tells Batista that he can have another go at Cena if he can face Wrestling/RandyOrton in a qualifying match to enter a Fatal Four-Way match for Cena's WWE Championship at the PPV of the same name that's to ensue ''immediately''. Batista refused, twice citing that he's in ''no condition to compete'', even threatening to quit if Bret continues to have him take the match. Undeterred by his threat, Bret names Orton the winner via forfeit and leaves, ignoring an outraged Batista's demand to return. Needless to say, having already suffered ''three straight'' PPV losses to Cena, Bret showing NoSympathy towards his injuries ends up being the [[VillainousBreakdown last straw]] for an already angry Batista, who goes on a ballistic rant towards the fans and the WWE and follows through with [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quitting the company]]. The fans proceed to cheer him quitting with Justin Roberts rubbing salt in the wound by telling them to give it up for him, in which they boo him as he's being taken to the back and out of the building. Until his return in 2014, this was definitely such an undignified way for The Animal to go out on.

* Wrestling/MichaelCole vs Wrestling/JerryLawler at ''Over The Limit'' can only be described as this for Michael Cole. Not only did he receive a CurbStompBattle from Lawler, Cole then faces the wrath of WWE Diva Wrestling/EveTorres representing the entire Diva's Division, who Cole had been verbally assaulting for weeks (Eve in particular), in the form of a Moonsault. Then, it gets worse. Wrestling/JimRoss then takes his turn, pouring a bottle of his famous barbecue sauce on the prone Cole. Cole then tries to escape and brags that he [[InsaneTrollLogic never really lost]] and will never kiss Jerry's foot...and it gets EVEN WORSE for him. [[Wrestling/BretHart Bret "The Hitman" Hart]] cuts off his escape, driving him back to the ring and locking him in [[FinishingMove the Sharpshooter]]. As Hart punishes Cole, Jerry takes the opportunity to make Cole kiss his feet (or in a more literal sense, shove his toes into Cole's mouth). Considering Cole's [[JerkAss recent behavior]] to all involved except for Hart (Unless you take account of the bashing of his family, particularly Natalya), this counts as LaserGuidedKarma in it's purest form.

** Keeps going when Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin gives him a Stunner and beer bath. Booker T lampshades the HumiliationConga on the next ''[=SmackDown=]'', pointing out that if Cole would keep his mouth shut, most of this wouldn't have happened.

* Wrestling/HeathSlater got a ''heavy'' dose of this at Raw's 1000th episode, where he continually challenged WWE Legends to a match... he lost all but one, against Wrestling/DoinkTheClown (played here by Wrestling/SteveLombardi). After that win, Wrestling/DiamondDallasPage comes out (to massive applause), congratulates him and shakes Slater's hand... and promptly hit [[FinishingMove the Diamond Cutter]] on the poor sap.

* Survivor Series 2014 ended with [[Wrestling/StephanieMcMahon The]] [[Wrestling/TripleH Authority]] being removed from power after their team led by Wrestling/SethRollins was defeated almost single-handedly by Wrestling/DolphZiggler, who had been TheLancer for Team [[Wrestling/JohnCena Cena]]. The following night on Raw, Steph and Trips were unceremoniously relieved from duty by none other than Wrestling/DanielBryan, who was made interim GM for the show (and whose return was met with thunderous [=YESing=]). Daniel proceeded to demote Kane from director of operations to a concessions vendor, and set up less-than ideal matches for the other members of Team Authority, particularly Rollins who was put in 3 on 2 handicap against Cena and Ziggler with his partners being chosen by a poll in the WWE app.
** Sadly, this would be undone by Rollins a few weeks later, after he forced Cena to reinstate the Authority. The Authority then went on to cause two more years of fan-angering management choices.
* At Wrestling/SummerSlam 1991, the Big Bossman and the Mountie were in a "Jailhouse Match" where the loser would have to spend the night in a New York City Jail. After boasting of his victory and telling the police officers to treat the Bossman like any criminal, the Mountie was beaten. Out came the cops who handcuffed him and dragged him all the way through the back to a paddy wagon. The cameras then caught the Mountie at the jail where he was fingerprinted, booked, photographed and thrown into a cell with a very...forward...roommate. The last sight was the Mountie screaming for help.

** The following night on ''Raw'' was nothing short of this for Batista. He begins the night badly injured, in a wheelchair, and, most especially, in a ''very'' bad mood. He rants about Cena's actions and demands yet another title shot at him only to be interrupted by ring announcer Justin Roberts announcing Wrestling/BretHart as the new General Manager. Bret then tells Batista that he can have another go at Cena if he can face Wrestling/RandyOrton in a qualifying match to enter a Fatal Four-Way match for Cena's WWE Championship at the PPV of the same name that's to ensue ''immediately''.

Undeterred by his threat, Bret names Orton the winner via forfeit and leaves, ignoring an outraged Batista's demand to return. Needless to say, having already suffered ''three straight'' PPV losses to Cena, Bret showing NoSympathy towards his injuries ends up being the [[VillainousBreakdown last straw]] for an already angry Batista, who goes on a ballistic rant towards the fans and the WWE and follows through with [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere quitting the company]]. The fans proceed to cheer him quitting with Justin Roberts rubbing salt in the wound by telling them to give it up for him, in which they boo him as he's being taken to the back.

* In June 2008, then-World Heavyweight Champion Wrestling/{{Edge}} got his own personal conga on ''Monday Night Raw''. After coming to the ring to brag about the recent WWE Draft and his victory at the PPV the night before (which left ''Raw'' without a world title), he pulled all the standard Heel tricks to get booed, including having Wrestling/JimRoss escorted from the building by his personal lackeys. However, when Edge tried to leave, he got jumped by a very pissed-off Wrestling/{{Batista}}. Then while he was lying dazed in the ring, newly-drafted-to-''Raw'' Wrestling/CMPunk came down to the ring, cashed in his "Money in the Bank" contract (which allows the holder to challenge a World Champion to a match at any time within a year of winning it), and pinned Edge to win his first [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-world-h.html WWE Championship]]. A well-deserved humiliation to a big frickin' {{Jerkass}} as well as a great callback to how Edge famously won his first [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-h.html WWE Championship]] (in 2006, following a victory by Wrestling/JohnCena in an [[GimmickMatches Elimination Chamber match]], Edge cashed in '''his''' Money in the Bank contract and took out Cena to win the title) and his first World Heavyweight Championship (in mid-2007, after both an exhausting cage match and a post-match assault by Wrestling/MarkHenry, Wrestling/TheUndertaker got smacked down on ''[=SmackDown!=]'' when Edge cashed in another Money in the Bank contract). Karma never felt so good.
