Refuge in Audacity/Professional Wrestling: Difference between revisions

* In 1991, Barry Darsow (formerly Smash of the tag team Demolition) was repackaged by the [[WWE]] as "Repo Man", which was [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]. A horrible gimmick that was presumably aimed at provoking [[Good Name for A Rock Band|cheap heat from deadbeats]], Darsow played the character so [[Card-Carrying Villain|ridiculously over the top]] that it was [[So Bad It's Good|hard to hate him]].

* The [[WWE]]'s Most Intimate Relationships Revealed segment on ''[[Monday Night Raw]]'' when [[Jerry Springer]] [[Guest Host|hosted]] was very much this trope. It started with Jerry revealing that [[Kelly Kelly]] [[My Secret Pregnancy|was secretly pregnant]]. Kelly reveals that she had a few drinks with [[Funny Foreigner|Santino Marella]] and things happened. After Santino declared that he was the father, Kelly revealed that she needed someone to finish the job, [[Michael Cole|MICHAEL COLE]]. This results in the possibility that [[Jerry Lawler]] may be the father, but Springer shoots that down because [[Dirty Old Man|Jerry likes to pick up his chicks from recess]]. This brings out the Bella Twins and Nikki reveals that [[Half-Identical Twins|Brie is a man]], resulting in a [[Cat Fight]]. Jerry steers that topic back to Kelly, and this brings out [[Pec Flex|Chris Masters]] to reveal that [[Your Cheating Heart|he slept with Kelly]], and this brings out his very angry girlfriend [[Eve Torres]] who also reveals she had an affair with [[Casanova|THE GREAT KHALI!]] With [[Dysfunction Junction|almost all of the comedy characters accounted for]], Jerry Springer reveals that he has the pregnancy test results back. Santino [[Anatomically-Impossible Sex|questions this possibility seeing as though this only happened three days ago]], and Springer simply says, [[Hand Wave|"I'm Jerry Springer."]] The results reveal the father to be [[Leprechaun|Hornswoggle]], and this is too much for [[Break the Badass|Jerry Springer of all people]], and he begins to leave in disgust. [[Jerry Lawler]] then reveals that the entire segment was a [[I Was Just Joking|prank]] and that the Great Khali probably does not even know what's happening. Khali's translator says that Khali [[Audience Surrogate|felt like the audience]] in that this was a [[Lampshade Hanging|giant waste of time]]. To close out the segment, Lawler turns the tables on Jerry and reveals Springer's secret fling, [[Dirty Old Woman|MAE YOUNG]]! RAW goes to a commercial as [[Squick|Springer makes out with Mae]].
