Somehow I just remembered that time Enzo was all oiled up in a shark cage suspended above the ring, having trouble to escape from it. I also sometimes remember when Hulk Hogan came out with a FUNB shirt in WCW and I thought it was really funny because the German commentators used to just say FUNB every time he connected with a strike. Also another WCW thing: I remember when there was a storyline where German "comedian" Tom Gerhardt stole the exhaust pipe of Berlyn and they used that to build a German tour that only had like two or three stops and it's impossible to find footage of it, it's not on the Network and I'm pretty sure I'm just imagining it at this point. I wonder if you can tell what country I'm from. Share weirder things to remember about wrestling shows so I don't feel too bad about myself.

Here's the video package for it. It's somehow very endearing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaPwS0GeuPE Just a shame I can't find the match itself anywhere. As far as I remember it sucked completely but that's not surprising anybody. I want any given modern promotion to do another take on this story of a feud featuring a stolen exhaust pipe.

Because of this forum, I don't think I'll ever forget the random John Cena vs LORD TENSAI match on Raw that ended via DQ, because for some reason lots of people remembered it as Tensai going clean over Cena. Also if I try a little I think I can remember the entire history of the WWECW title because it was a fun show to watch and I still randomly think about it at times

The first thing I went to watch on the network when it went up was Harlem Heat vs The Nasty Boys in a tornado tag match where they wander over to the fakest concession stand imaginable and slip around in ketchup for 15 minutes. It is burned into the recesses of my brain and yet it was way worse than I remembered.

This thread made me think of the local fed show I went to featuring the wrestler Bench Horse, a horse that bench-presses people and things, who was apparently a heel? I'm still not sure how you assign a moral stance to a bench-press-mad horse

I remember when AEW was just starting out. This was before Dynamite. I'm not sure they even announced the TV deal at thaat point already. MIght have been the first Double or Nothing, I dunno. I forget the exact circumstance but someone attacked someone else after a match or during a promo and for some reason Jungle Boy came out and looked real confused and he walked around a bit. I was hanging out in a Discord channel with people where we reacted to stuff and one person said "Wow Jungle Boy has no rear end" and I said "Because Sonny Kiss stole it and they are gonna feud about it" or something very similar. Somehow that memory just came back.

steve allen pissing off the bolsheviks by promising to play the russian national anthem on the piano and then playing nursery rhymes. this happened in a bathroom for some reason. they got super pissed when a toilet flushed. edit: also bob uecker doing guest commentary on a jimmy snuka match and saying snuka was so ugly that "dracula flew in his window, took one look at him and bit the bedpost" which makes me laugh to this day Critical fucked around with this message at 22:29 on Jun 5, 2021 |

Paul Orndorff inexplicably showing up on popular Australian variety show Hey Hey It's Saturday in 1991 in the middle of an album review/promotion, eats a CD and attacks Molly Meldrum. Then more wrestlers show up and start attacking the set and the rest of the cast. I was only a little kid so it was kind of shocking enough to just never forget for some reason. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL2_Ca_ewW0

I was at a Raw taping in the mid-90s, and they must have screwed up something during an Adam Bomb vs Kwang match, because later in the night they redid the exact same match with the exact same ending and everyone in the audience was really confused.

I've been trying to find a clip of this for years. WWE-era Scott Steiner does a move and then starts doing push ups like he usually does. You know, typical stuff. But JR loses his goddamn mind. He's yelling "THE PUSH-UPS! THE PUSH-UPS! MY GAWD! THE INTIMIDATING PUSH-UPS... FROM THE BIG BAD BOOTY DADDY!" And it has always stuck with me.
