* EyeScream: A head injury during SCU's match with the Young Bucks left him with some burst blood vessels that gave him an almost completely black left eye permanently. He hasn't attempted to have it fixed because it doesn't affect his vision at all, and it suits his character enough anyway.

* FavorsForTheSexy: In round 2 of the Beauty Contest between Wrestling/TaylorWilde and Wrestling/AngelinaLove, the latter brings Curry Man and Shark Boy, who are two of the three judges, up-close to show her bikini to them, even bending over in front of them to further entice them into voting her to win. Even then, Curry Man was completely in favor of Angelina throughout the contest, voting for her in all three rounds in contrast to Super Eric, who voted for Wilde, with Shark Boy serving as the neutral party.
