The Show Itself
- How Charles Wright describes his "favorite character" to portray, The Godfather: Selling white girls, getting high, and selling pussy!
- In the Brawl for All episode, Butterbean gets funny descriptions from the other interviewees. Jim Ross refers to him as an "overachiever" and says he looks like an appliance, and Jim Cornette says that he's a "big, fat, round baked potato with arms and legs".
- When asked what Herb Abrams would be doing if he were alive today, Mick Foley only has one word: Time. He believed that they was no way Herb would've been able to pay his debts, and that he would be visiting him in jail toasting with a glass of milk and eating Herbie Cookies.
- The utter hilarity of what Kim Wood thinks of Vince McMahon:"Vince? Yeah, you know what you do with a whore? You fuck 'em. That's what I thought of Vince. That's all I think of Vince."
- David Arquette sends Nick Gage a mattress
- Towards the end of the second part of Brian Pillman's episode when his sister Linda is being interviewed, as she's speaking, a loud and sudden groan of disgust from Brian Jr. is heard offscreen. She then calmly explains that he's afraid of spiders, having encountered one in the bathroom, and that she refuses to kill them.
- Jon Moxley's reaction to how easy it was to identify Nick Gage in the security footage from Gage's bank robbery:note Moxley: Nick Gage always comes to the ring with a handkerchief on his face, like he's gonna rob a train. And the time that he chooses to not wear the mask, is when he actually robs a fuckin' bank!
- During The Johnny K9 episode, his ex wife talks about how he ordered a Pizza one night and when it arrives decides to strip naked, with her yelling at him to put some clothes on. When he opens the door to get it fully exposing himself naked to the delivery man, the delivery man just asks for his payment not even caring that he's naked.
- In the Chris Kanyon episode, James Mitchell recounts how Kanyon would become emotional and paranoid, lashing out at him over trivial matters, such as accusing him of stealing his shampoo. Mitchell gestures to his bald head and dryly points out that he was an unlikely culprit for the "theft."
- A deleted scene from the Randy Savage episode has several wrestlers and managers do their best impression of the Macho Man. The hilarious part is Eric Bischoff claiming its an easy impression, and that anyone off the street could do it...before proceeding to deliver possibly the worst Savage impression since the Billionaire Ted sketches.
- In the Doink episode, Chris Jericho as narrator mentions that Matt Borne held an animosity towards "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. Cut to Mick Foley who is aghast that anybody can hate Duggan.Mick Foley: You have to make a real attempt at not liking Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
- During the episode on John Tenta, the infamous Shockmaster incident of his tag-partner Fred Ottman is naturally brought up. The kicker being Haku had never seen the clip, let alone heard of it. Seeing it reduces one of wrestling's most fearsome men (In and out of the ring) into a fit of uncontrollable laughter.
- Brutus Beefcake describing the visit he got from Sherri Martel after his horrific facial injury. Sherri had been told that Beefcake was in bad shape, and to not react when she saw just how busted up his face was. As Brutus tells it, the first thing she did when she caught sight of him was scream bloody murder.
- Trevor Murdoch, then a student of Harley Race, asked his teacher if the story of him shooting at a house with a pistol after a dispute was true. Harley simply said "It wasn't a pistol, it was a machine gun."
The Unheard Podcast
- In Episode 1 near the end of the episode, New Jack mentions an incident where he sold a pair of pants to a fan after his match at an ECW show, only to realise that he forgot that he left a bag of cocaine in that pair of pants and had to run into the audience area to get it back.
- In Episode 2, Kevin Von Erich recounts an incident when he was a kid, where he was backstage with Bobo Brazil and showing him how to do some sort of back kick. Later when Bobo and Kevin's father Fritz have their match, it ends with Bobo using the kick Kevin taught him and pinning Fritz. After that, Kevin rushes to the back to berate Bobo for tricking him into teaching him something to use against his dad and repeatedly told him he hated him. Kevin then states that the other wrestlers were having a laugh at his expense, since he still believed that pro wrestling was real at the time.
- In Episode 7, Terry Funk recounts an incident where he peed on an electric fence at the age of six, he claims that the pain from that experience prepared him for his hardcore years since he thought nothing could surpass that amount of pain.
- In Episode 8, Vince Russo's response to hearing about Jim Cornette's life goal of outliving Russo so he can piss on Russo's grave, with a voice that screams he is so tired of Cornette's complaints about him and concludes by just giving him permission to do.
- In Episode 9, when trying to conduct their first interview with Tony Atlas, he warns the interviewers that they were not allowed to sit on a leather couch that was basically falling apart, which they unfortunately proceed to do and he loses his shit when he discovers them and refused to calm down and do the interview. The kicker is his wife trying and failing to calm him down by saying they can go couch shopping later, and him replying it's just not the same.
- In Episode 10, apparently Jake Roberts frequently rewatches the segment where he has a cobra bite Randy Savage... to help him achieve wood.
- The podcasters also recount a story Jake told them about when he forgot to take his snake at the time out of his car in the middle of winter, which led it to freeze to death (in what Jake describes as a straight line position). He could not replace it in time for the next show, so in order to keep kayfabe, he decided to thaw it out and keep acting like it's still alive. Surprisingly, he managed to pull it off flawlessly with other wrestlers asking how he gets the snake to act as wild as it does, and gets it in his mind that he doesn't need a live snake anymore. So he continues doing shows with the dead snake, with nobody the wiser, until one show while holding it by its two ends... it finally splits in half, freaking out and nauseating the fans in attendance.
