* [[WWE/Characters/New Generation|Ahmed Johnson]]. Especially the promos cut for the Warzone video game for the [[PlayStation]]. [[Mondegreen|Wonton and beef stew indeed.]]
* Val Venis' [http://www.thewrestlinglegendsforum.com/wrestlecrap/veniscastration.html debut included a feud with Kaientai and Yamaguchi]. The narm comes from Yamaguchi's obsession with revenge (Val supposedly slept with his wife) and a backstage skit where the Kaientai stable ties up a nude Val Venis and Yamaquchi-san apparently cuts his penis off with a sword. Then the WWF waited until next week to say that he missed.
* The 9-27-10 edition of RAW had [[Edge]] interview the anonymous RAW General Manager on the Cutting Edge. The GM had only previously communicated through a laptop operated by [[Michael Cole]]. For the interview, the RAW GM was being run through a voice changer. While the segment was narmy enough already just because Edge was interviewing a laptop ([[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Edge himself when he said that RAW had come from [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|Austin stunning McMahon]] to [[Wall Banger
* The infamous "Pillman's Got A Gun!" Moment: [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]], feuding with his onetime ally Brian Pillman, breaks into Pillman's house (observed by cameras). Meanwhile, Pillman, his wife and his friends, and announcer Kevin Kelly are all lying in wait for Austin, who beats up all of Pillman's cronies. Pillman then produces a Glock and claims he will "blast his sorry ass straight to hell" as Kevin Kelly screams "Pillman's got a gun!" At this point the cameras "cut out" until we rejoin the action with Austin unsurprisingly not dead. Pillman drops an F-Bomb on live TV as Austin gets pulled away. The vignette was so widely panned that the WWF and Pillman publicly apologized. Basically everyone involved realized how preposterous it was to have a scripted fighting show where guns could be involved.
* The 11-15-10 episode of Raw had a promo of [[John Cena]]'s decision as the special guest referee in the [[Randy Orton]] vs. [[Wade Barrett]] title match. To gather the effect perfectly, the AM Raw was better to watch. The promo was cut directly from a Piper's Pit that ended with [[John Cena]] basically no-selling an RKO, and then FUing both Orton and Barret. The promo itself was shots from Cena's career. However a more recent shot showed Cena hunched depressed in the corner of the ring and almost looked to be ''crying''. One could simply picture Barret standing behind him screaming "''Cry, Cena! CRY!!''" It then ends with a shot of Cena leaving the building. It's mostly ridiculous because it may be the first ever title match to be more about the referee than either of the two competitors.
Line 135:
* The opening music to the ''Tough Enough'' revival, which sounds less than suited to a pro wrestling show.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37jA7R_sCqw WWE Over The Limit 2011's promo] which feels more like a commercial for Viagra more than a PPV.
* After [[Cody Rhodes]] moved to ''SmackDown!'' he adopts the "Dashing" gimmick. Following a few months being [[Laughably Evil]], he [[Took a Level
** Everyone's extreme enthusiasm to wear the bags and seeing people on the front few rows sitting jauntily with them over their heads doesn't help with Cody's intimidation either.
** The commentators refer to it as the "ultimate humiliation".
