They also kind of made an angle out of the sleeper thing when Taz debuted in WWE, since he'd been using the Tazmission choke in ECW, where you couldn't really be DQed for anything short of shooting your opponent with a .357.

The Mandible Claw is an awesome move, if only for explaining how it works to your dumb cousin. "Why doesn't the other guy just bite his finger?" "There's a pressure point under your tongue that locks up your jaw if you press it. Go ahead, try." *Cousin jams fingers in his own mouth* "*Snicker*"

I remember that too, which made it *really* funny that one time Michaels came out in his white Undertaker suit during their feud.

Goldust in general was pretty much Attitude era stuff before it was thought of. Out of nowhere, you had this crossdresser humping people's faces and molesting Razor Ramon. Really, in hindsight, he put an end to the New Generation stuff by stomping Razor in that feud.

On certain kicks, like the one to Cena's dad, he looked like he was making his best effort to kick straight through the other person's head like he was Kenshiro or some poo poo.

I thought his team with Truth was pretty great, but it lasted like a month, Rock steamrolled both of them, Truth got injured and Miz turned on him, so yeah.

I remember a show I was at where Edge took about 10 minutes to get to the ring to face Batista, as he was wandering the crowd individually ripping up any and all signs that said anything negative about him. That was fun.

1995-1996, probably. 96 had pre-WCW Mysterio, Psychosis and Eddie Guerrero tearing it up and that amazing match where Terry Gordy came back from the dead to fight Raven.

As I recall, JR called it as a 'Tombstone' even after it clearly wasn't, so that's probably what was planned.

So this may be a dumb question, but if a masked wrestler has to travel through an airport or somesuch, how do they manage it? Go through unmasked? I can't imagine TSA humoring anyone going through security wearing a mask nowadays, no matter how much you tried to say you're a Mexican wrestler and it's tradition. I also remember stories of Boogeyman going around wearing a skimask, which I also can't see working well.

I seem to remember Punk saying at one point that they told him "Go say whatever, we'll cut you off when you go too far". But it is Punk, so.

I dunno, the whole deal with Edge beating the crap out of Kennedy, Kennedy dragging himself to the ring half-dead and demanding the match start anyway, only for Edge to beat him in one move made Kennedy look like the gutsiest guy on Earth. If also the dumbest.

Not quite the same thing, but Yokozuna's slow drag over to the corner for the Banzai Drop was awesome for getting the audience to gasp in horror. This man was about to die.

Man, did Shawn *ever* hit the superkick when he set it up with foot stomping? It seems that would always be the cue for someone to duck it, and then he'd usually hit it on a second attempt.

I guess with something like the title it's a little more. It'd be more akin to someone winning the Lifetime Achievement Award, then at the last second the Academy has Justin Bieber jump on stage to take your trophy and yell how 98 Degrees was the best of all time.
