Two things stand out about Raw. It was a big improvement over the last couple of weeks (Not a huge thing but it's a start)and i laughed out loud at an actually meant to be humorous moment for once. Jericho and Christian are good in the ring but as unappreciated a++hole tag champs their promo on trish was gold. !"VITAMIN C"! Also the fact that Triple H was hitting the trunk trying to get out (You could hear him banging)and actually opened the trunk was good. but showing true stupidity JR yelled out as Trips was closing it and the car sped away that Triple H was "Locked In".hehe top stuff.
The trunk flying open was a Classic Moment of 2002, right up there with Kevin Nash injuring himself by walking, Jackie Gayda's "match" and the time that Hogan couldn't start Undertaker's motorcycle. (Actually, nothing in the history of the sport beats the time Hogan couldn't start the motorcycle.)
Last night, it was funny when HHH was kicking the trunk so much that he accidently opened it up and had to try to hold it closed when they were driving off. I was rolling on that one. Something not supposed to happen is usually funniest for me.
January 4th 1999 - The day WCW injected itself with 10 gallons of Liquid Anthrax...AKA...The day Hogan "Defeated" Nash to win the WCW title in front of 40,000.
this is an old one, but i remember (a few years back) when Raven was trying to throw Saturn's "Moppy" into a wood chipper, but he couldn't get it to work. he stood there with a "now what do i do" look on his face.
Saturn was in the ring, watching on the TitanTron. by the time Raven got the machine to work, Saturn could have chased him down and saved moppy. lol.

I followed that with "Tell that to Tugboat and 'Captain Mike' Rotundo!", which got the Bad Pun of the Night award.

Kurt Angle's "Knights of the Round Table" promo at Rebellion last year. He equated Austin to being King Arthur, Debra as Guinevere, Shane McMahon as Merlin, and himself as Galahad.
Austin (to Shane): Merlin, can you make him disappear?
this certainly doesn't belong in its own thread, so this one is the best fit.
It would have been nice last night if, as Kane took off in the car he accidentally bumped into a parked car... you know, to add to his "Bad Driver" gimmick.
(and Steph walking in on HHH teaching Trish how to get out of a hammerlock might be my favorite funny moment of all time, with any time Kurt Angle tries to be "hip" as the best recurring theme-- two weeks ago, when he said "Hello, Chavo, my Chicano friend," I almost lost it)
"(Actually, nothing in the history of the sport beats the time Hogan couldn't start the motorcycle.)"
You obviously didn't see the time that DDP couldn't start the motorcycle. And Raw should've ended with Kane climbing out of the car and yelling "Damn stick shift!", then kicking at the ground in childish frustration.

That would have been the greatest of all time!
JR could be yelling "BY GAWD, KANE REALLY IS A PUSSY"
How much wood can a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood?
"What up, Homeslice" was probably Kurt's best "hip" quote in recent weeks... What about HHH not being able to break that, was it a table?, with the sledge? During his temper tantrum a couple of months back?
Craig Reade "Pool Boy"Detroit Lions! 2-4! I am so confused....
I used to laugh at The Rock's promos when he would ask, "Do you think you impress The Rock..." I loved the one with The Undertaker when he asked, "Do you think you impress The Rock by claiming to steal the souls of all those jabronies?"
The single funniest thing I've ever seen in wrestling during the Global Wrestling Federation's short run. It was a Lightning Kid (X-Pac) match against (I *think*) Jerry Lynn. Lynn had a knee brace on and somehow got fucked up and was hanging upside down from the top rope by his knee brace. Waltman just had this confused look on his face and then you could see realization of what happened come over him and he remembered he was in a match and started kicking Lynn in the chest. You probably had to be there....
I liked Kurt Angle's promo for Rey Mysterio. "Rey, yer just a little boy..and I'm a man who likes to play with little boys". But then they kept repeating the "I didn't mean to say THAT" gimmick and within 3 minutes the impact was gone.
However, NOTHING beats Mongo McMichael dressing up Pepe the Chihuahua with springy googly-eye glasses on an early Nitro. Although I have a soft spot for Ralphus in a giant mascot outfit getting his head caught in the ropes.
I laugh out loud plenty of times, but I think the best laughs came when Edge & Christian were feuding with the Hardy's. I fell over night after night at their antics that included:
- The Hardy's and Lita in the future - I just remember Lawler saying "Poor Matt's taken to glasses now". It wasn't a funny line, but I just crack up over it.
- The Midget Hardy's and Midget Dudley's - After they won the first TLC Match, Edge & Christian bought in the little people to show how the other two tag teams didn't measure up to them.
- Vintage Hardy Clips - From when the boyz were boys. Matt gave a promo as did Jeff, both were awful. Jeff went into some tanget and said "And... Well... That's all I have to say about that." And Edge goes "Thank God!" Then Matt started doing some horrible dancing and Christian went up to the screen and started mocking him.
1. The RAW after Survivor Series last year. When Vince is about to give the belt to Angle and Austin runs in, stomps him into the corner, stops to listen to his watch.... then starts stomping him again. Just tremendous.
2. Last night, when JR went off on Flair climbing the top rope.
3. Kevin Nash's 11 seconds of wrestling this year.
4. "Lillian Garcia, do you like pie?" "Yes, Rock, I do...." (pause) "Just like the Rock thought."
5. Lawler: "Rock's speech was so boring, that Christopher Reeve got up and walked out."
6. Shawn Michaels sticking the Canadian Flag up his nose.
7. Rock to Booker T on Smackdown: "Who, in the blue hell, are you?"
8. "You think you impress the Rock, just because a couple of months ago, you were beating up some guy named 'Juventud'?"
By the way, Storm's gimmick includes 1.) telling the audience to shut up, and 2.) occasionally making everyone stand for the Canadian national anthem. You know they don't know what to do with a wrestler when he's making fans stand for a national anthem. It's like waving a white flag and saying, "This guy has no personality -- we give up."
