Line 2:
Professional wrestling in general is full of [[Non Sequitur Scene|these kind of moments]] due to its on-the-fly writing style and the relative secrecy most wrestling companies work under to avoid [[spoiler]]s. Frequently story lines are started and then squashed due to one or more of the performers dying, quitting, being fired, or being injured. Angles can also suffer heavily from attacks by [[Moral Guardians]] and by [[Executive Meddling]]. It's worth noting that since Professional Wrestling is an ongoing medium, users should wait before posting recent examples until the actual storyline plays out.

* In 1990, the [[WWE|WWF]] was hyping a giant egg, whose contents would be revealed at the ''Survivor Series''. The egg's hatching turned out to be a [[Stealth Pun|rotten]] moment, as what emerged was a huge chicken-like thing called the Gobbledy-Gooker (played by [[Eddie Guerrero]]'s older brother Hector in a hideous suit). [[Wrestlecrap]] [http://www.wrestlecrap.com/gooker.html has more]{{Dead link}}. Also, they name their yearly people's choice award for wrestling's worst thing, The Gooker.
** The Gooker has been referenced since then, but it's usually been to reference just how [[So Bad It's Horrible/Professional Wrestling|horrible]] the idea was.
** And it wasn't a chicken, but a ''turkey'' - [[Makes Just as Much Sense in Context|which makes perfect sense]] when you recall that ''Survivor Series'' used to be held on Thanksgiving Day. The most hilarious aspect of this episode was that for weeks, both wrestling commentators and fans were wildly speculating on what could possibly be inside the egg. [[What an Idiot!|Some even wondered if a new wrestler was about to make his debut.]] I mean....IT'S AN EGG! Did they actually think that ''anything'' other than a giant bird (or maybe a dinosaur) was going to emerge from it?
