So Bad It's Horrible/Professional Wrestling/World Championship Wrestling: Difference between revisions

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5oMiqJRVqs&feature=fvwrel The Shockmaster], a wrestler whose career literally ended in seconds. For weeks, a mystery man had been built up as the difference maker in a huge WCW feud. During the mystery man's introduction on a WCW pay-per-view, The Shockmaster broke through a wall (he was big and strong, see?)...and tripped over the edge of the hole, landing on his face and losing his helmet (which exposed him as Fred Ottman, better known as Tugboat or Typhoon). The only difference he made was sinking the angle and his career. Oh, and the helmet he lost? [[WTH Costuming Department|A Stormtrooper Halloween mask covered with purple glitter.]] That's right, even his ''costume'' sucked.

** [[Ric Flair]] and Davey Boy Smith (who were part of this angle) promptly ran backstage to avoid breaking character in front of the audience, and even [[Jesse Ventura]] (on commentary) laughed himself sick. Sid "Vicious" Eudy deserves some kind of medal for being able to keep a straight face during his subsequent conversation with Shockmaster.

* The Stacy Kiebler/"Miss Hancock" pregnancy angle is fortunately a subversion, as WCW was mercifully taken behind the woodshed before the angle could come to a conclusion. If it had, the father of her child would've been revealed to be Vince Russo.

* Russo and Ed Ferrara's angle of "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=265cQznMJbI Oklahoma]", which consisted of Ferrara dressing up as a parody of [[Jim Ross]] complete with BBQ sauce and mocking JR's Bell's palsy (and calling matches just by yelling things repeatedly), was a [[Dude, Not Funny|completely tasteless gag]] that nobody thought was funny; many people within the company (including [[Ric Flair]]) were outright pissed that Russo and Ferrara would do something so utterly crass. You can even hear Tony Schiavone utter a legitimately shocked "[["No. Just... No" Reaction|Oh]], ''[["No. Just... No" Reaction|no]]''." the first time Oklahoma came out during ''Mayhem 1999'', and he seems beside himself the whole time the mockery is going on.
