  • The Dairy Queen Incident, which could also double as a Moment of Awesome. In 1994, after a disappointing show in Hyden, Kentucky, Cornette is riding shotgun in a van with a several wrestlers, driving back to Knoxville, and they had stopped at a Dairy Queen along the way. The line at the drive-thru was slow and backed-up, and from the time they ordered at the speaker to when they arrived at the window, a full twenty minutes had passed. When they got to the window to pay, the employee told them that they hadn't even started on the order; because it was a big order (around $40 for eight wrestlers), they thought Cornette and the group placed it as a joke. Cornette begins cursing, saying they wouldn't have placed the order if they weren't hungry, and the employee snaps back at him for cursing at her.[1] He then gets out of the van and proceeds to lay into everyone in the building! The manager sheepishly apologizes, and Cornette gets back in the van, where everyone had been holding in their laughter up to that point.

Cornette: I'll goddamn come through that fucking window and cuss you, you fucking cunt!

    • Even funnier was the fact that one of the wrestlers in the van was none other than a young Chris Jericho! Contrary to popular belief, Jericho was not the one with the video camera,[2] but he contributed to the exchange with this gem:

Jericho: Does this look like a fucking comedy bus to you?!

  1. In a Q&A interview (see the below link) years later, he realizes that it wasn't actually directed at himself.
  2. and he was the one the employee got on for cursing at her,
