* The match between The Super Smash Brothers (including Player Uno) and Delirious/Hallowicked's team Incoherence. All of it. Especially because Delirious spends most of the match trading oldschool video game references with Player Uno.
{{quote| '''Delirious''': [[Turbo Grafx TurboGrafx-16]]!<br />
(''audience cheers'')<br />
'''Louden Noxious''': (''on commentary'') You got your wish, Mikey. You happy?<br />
'''Mike Quackenbush''': (''on commentary'') That was a wish that could've gone unfulfilled.<br />
'''Louden Noxious''': Incoherence is really playing some mind games with the Super Smash Brothers...<br />
'''Player Uno''': [[Nintendo Sixty Four|Nintendo6464]]!<br />
'''Louden Noxious''': ...getting under their skin, these various--<br />
'''Delirious''': 3D0!<br />
(''[[Collective Groan|audience groans]]'')<br />
'''Player Uno''': GET OUT!<br />
'''Mike Quackenbush''': "Get out!" says Player Uno, as does every self-respecting gamer! }}
** But the real [[Berserk Button|crossing-the-line moment]] came when Delirious took it just a little [[My Girl Is Not a Slut|too far]]: "[[Super Mario Bros. (video game)|Princess Peach]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVa49EwJj0w is a TRAMP!]"
{{quote| (''audience groans very loudly; the ref stumbles and falls over in shock'')<br />
'''[[Kaiju Big Battel|Louden Noxious]]''': We normally have trouble understanding [[The Unintelligible|Delirious]], but that was loud and clear!<br />
'''Player Uno''': (''[[Berserk Button|promptly flipping his shit]]'') YOU DO NOT SAY THAT ABOUT HER! SHE'S THE MOST WONDROUS WOMAN IN THE WORLD! }}
* Delirious [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvXcSZldSWw doesn't know the meaning of the word "kayfabe"].
Line 52:
* The legendary entrance of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvgHCtjXbAI The Shockmaster] in WCW. You gotta give the other wrestlers and the commentators credit for not busting out laughing after seeing it. This didn't stop the commentary from losing it, though, and even the British Bulldog can be clearly heard saying "He fell right on his fucking arse!"
** You can hear Ric Flair losing it as well, exclaiming "Oh god! Oh my!"
* Back in [[ECWExtreme Championship Wrestling]], [[Joey Styles]] had some pretty funny one-liner reactions to what was going on in the ring. One of the things he would occasionally say (aside from replacing his trademark "OH MY GOD!!!" with "AY DIOS MIO!!!") happened whenever a luchador jumped from the ring so far he landed in one of the first few rows: "And it's Take-Home-A-Luchador night here in the ECW Arena!"
** (as the crowd breaks out into a chant of "Holy shit!") "My mother's gonna hate me for sayin' this, but...HOLY SHIT!"
*** The poor production values alone added fuel to the fire. Since typical ECW shows didn't have the big screen displays common in WCW and WWF/E, and since a match that starts in the ring isn't guaranteed to ''stay'' in the ring, parts of the crowd can end up left in the dark. One match involved two wrestlers brawling out behind the bleachers in one half of the building while fans in the other half chanted, "I CAN'T SEE SHIT! I CAN'T SEE SHIT!"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gii4J-jNiY THIS...IS...AWE...SOME. * clap...clap...clapclapclap* ]
* On an episode of ''[[WCWWorld Championship Wrestling]] Thunder'', [[Kevin Nash]] served as a guest commentator. ''[[Botchamania]]'' put video of this into its 94th edition...and Nash is much more entertaining as a commentary guy than as a wrestler.
{{quote| (''deep voice'') "Bill [[Goldberg]], a bald-headed man with a tattoo. Who has only lost one time, to a fiercer warrior, Mister [[Kevin Nash]]!" (''normal voice'') "That's pretty good, ain't it--how I worked that in there?"}}
** Hell, practically anything that makes it on ''Botchamania'' qualifies.
* The Public Enemy had some great ones including a WCW moment I wish I could find online that had the line "You've got [[Ric Flair]] flopping around the ring like he's having an epileptic seizure." complete with pantomimed Flair-flops... it was much funnier then it sounds. Then from ECW this classic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD0G-79Yhuc&feature=related of the P.E. training Mikey Whipwreck to take on the Sandman.]
Line 70:
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0r4bcMB3F4 Now they're just doing it for the sake of doing it. (2:21 to 3:35)]
* "...and you kick your feet up, and there's Big Bubba Rogers and and Dennis Condory and Bobby Eaton, and they'll catch you like they catch the girls at the football games!" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9_vnjt4COQ The infamous 25 ft. Scaffold Match incident], as told to us by [[Jim Cornette]], which resulted in the [[Memetic Mutation|Cornette Face]] meme. "Boys...the University of Alabama ''Crimson Tide'' couldn't 'catch me like they catch the girls at the football games.'"
{{quote| "First of all...Bobby fell like this--''(whoosh!)''. Dennis fell like that--''(whoosh!)''. I fell like this--''(BAM!)''. Bubba's standing there--he never played baseball, I guess; he lost me in the lights, I dunno--what had happened was he's standing there like that and I went completely through his arms. And he looks down like that and when I hit, and my knee bent completely sideways in a matter other than nature intended, it caused me to whiplash back and the back of my head hit his knee, fortunately knocking me temporarily senseless, and serving as a natural anesthetic to the fact that a bone might be sticking out my leg!"}}
* Arguably ''[[Inverted Trope|inverted]]'', as this came from the ''audience'' and it was the ''wrestlers'' who found it funny. The commissioner of the late Stampede Wrestling asked the audience to tone down on the swearing. At the next show, audiences chanted (at moves they thought impressive) "HOLY BEEP! HOLY BEEP! HOLY BEEP!" The wrestlers found it HILARIOUS.
* While the Majority of [[CHIKARA]] could fit this, one moment fits in this troper's head. A large tag team match breaks down into a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MYKRsJUR0s baseball game].
** Only made funnier by the fans whole-hearted participation in the whole thing (they do ''the wave'', for crying out loud!), and Jimmy "Equinox" Olsen and Mike Quackenbush's commentary:
{{quote| '''Quackenbush''': This never happens during our matches, Jimmy.<br />
'''Olsen''': We're missing out.<br />
(''later'')<br />
'''Fan in Crowd''': We wanna pit-CHER, not a belly it-CHER!<br />
'''Crowd''' (''chanting'') BELLY ITCHER! (''clap clap clap-clap-clap'') BELLY ITCHER!<br />
'''Quackenbush''': Ohh, they're gettin' him with the "belly itcher" chant! }}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPS2nwMqZ5Y It's CHIKARA], [[Peanuts|Charlie Brown!]]
* "...[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzKK3Tu2IAU what?! Nooooo! The Sugar Hill Gang up in this beast!]" (aka CHIKARA: The Musical) You wonder how they managed to do this with a straight face.
* Kevin Steen and Steve Corino provided commentary for [http://www.myspace.com/video/beautiful-bobby-shields/bobby-shields-vs-kevin-steen/105922259 one of Steen's ROH matches]. While Steen was wrestling in it.
{{quote| '''STEEN:''' Ever since I have joined forces with Mr. Corino it appears the Ring Of Honor on HDNet commentators, Dave Prazak and "HOG", seem to be hell-bent on talking trash about us!<br />
'''PRAZAK:''' Not me!<br />
'''STEEN:''' I don't think that's very fair, so you know what? Prazak, Hog, you guys have the night off, well at least you have this match off, go grab a hot dog, grab a beer, grab each other's genitals, whatever you do...<br />
'''PRAZAK:''' I'll grab the ''beer''.<br />

[After Corino starts talking to Steen's opponent, Bobby Shields, and Steen sneaks up behind him and knocks him down]<br />
'''STEEN:''' [as he hits him] BOOM! Can't believe that worked!<br />
[...]<br />
'''CORINO:''' I used to beat kids like this up in school every week!<br />
'''STEEN:''' Speaking of school beatings, I perfected this very move during my grade school beatings, check it out!<br />
[Steen comes off the ropes, and then stops]<br />
'''STEEN:''' [handing the mic to referee Bryce Remsburg] Oh wait, hold this.<br />
[Somersaults and drops a leg on Shields]<br />
'''CORINO:''' Ohhhh, ladies and gentlemen--!!!<br />
'''STEEN:''' [taking the mic back] Oh my god--!!<br />
'''CORINO:''' That--<br />
'''STEEN:''' TREMENDOUS move!<br />
'''CORINO:''' That was ''orgasmic'' maybe.<br />
'''STEEN:''' [going for the cover] Steen goes for the cover!<br />
[Covers, only gets two]<br />
'''STEEN:''' Bad call by the referee, horrible call!<br />
[...]<br />
[After Shields catches Steen off-guard and gets in some token offense, Steen comes back and stops him with a powerbomb]<br />
'''CORINO:''' OHHHH! SLAP THE PORKYPINE, HE'S ''DONE''!<br />
'''STEEN:''' [retrieving the mic and glaring down at Shields] That ''hurt'', you asshole! }}

'''El Generico''': Kenny Omega y Chuck Taylor...(''Colt whispers to him again'') I want...I-I want to piss in your boots! ''(more whispering)'' ...and your ears! (''more whispering'') I EAT CHILDREN!<br />
