Line 119:
* How about Jack Swagger bursting into the room of [[Rey Mysterio, Jr.|Rey Mysterio Jr]] and away dragging him away with an ankle lock, Rey was screaming out in pain and Jack had this manic grin on his face, this was still within the range of decent until Jack Swagger dragged him backwards through a curtain, you just got this image of a creepy pedophile dragging away someone who "looks like a freaking twelve year old" who's trying to crawl away from his abuser, hey, who said Narm had to be light and fluffy laughs.
* [[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' [https://web.archive.org/web/20120510123535/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|Edge arguing with a computer]]), the voice distorter made the GM sound exactly like [[Portal (series)|GLaDOS]]. The segment would even end with Edge destroying the laptop, making people wonder if the computer would starting singing ''Still Alive'' after RAW went off the air.
* 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.
