I don't know about all of you, but I find wrestling in general to be pretty funny when screws up a line or a set piece screws up someone's promo. The best example I can think of is The Shockmaster's big debut, where he bursts through the wall, trips, and loses his helmet. A more recent example would be when Hogan couldn't start the motorcycle to chase Undertaker into a pretaped backstage skit. So, what are some of your favorite heretofore unmentioned f-ups?
I think what's more entertaining is seeing how the wrestlers ad lib to cover it. For example, I remember last year Jericho came out to talk to Vince (in Edmenton, I believe) and was given a bad mic. So Vince covers and says "look at that, the man got a Canadien microphone."
Mean Gene: "You know, I don't think it's a question - Goldberg, I don't think it's a question of who's next, I think it's a question of who's left?" Goldberg: "No, see, that's where you're wrong. It ain't who's left, it's - WHO'S NEXT?"

From the desk of Swordsman Yen How about when Viscera bounced off the ropes and his pants fell down? That should definitely make a wrestling blooper reel.

That is funny!
THAT WAS VISCERA!
How can you forget the greatest moment of Big Vis? I almost started crying over here!
Vader had left the WWF long before Vince gave Mankind the hardcore belt.
I mean, Viscera... We remembered him two remembers ago!
*sob*

How about the time that Jackie Gayda and Trish Stratus had the worst match in the history of the women's division? (and that's saying something, people!)
How about the time Nash returned, did one move, and then apparently injured his knee? I seriously hope he isn't really hurt, but if he is, that's pretty freakin' sad.

it's no work...hebner did the road dogg overhead X...and i've seen that before and it's a signal to the back that there's a man down and it's real.

Originally posted by TheBucsFanI think what's more entertaining is seeing how the wrestlers ad lib to cover it. For example, I remember last year Jericho came out to talk to Vince (in Edmonton, I believe) and was given a bad mic. So Vince covers and says "look at that, the man got a Canadian microphone."
Then there was the time Austin and McMahon were cutting a promo on each other in the ring (I think there was a third person involved as well) and McMahon's mike was cutting off. Austin grabbed it and threw it into the crowd. Then he grabbed the next mike and did the same thing. I think he threw three total when McMahon proclaimed "That's a ten thousand dollar microphone!"
When DX reformed in late 99 and were feuding with Vince. Vince's mic went out and Triple H said something along the lines of "You own a multi-billion dollar company and you STILL can't find a mic that works?"
I still remember the time Crash tried to do a tope or something like that on Raw one time. He made a run-up, jumped as high as he could...and got caught up on the top rope. Poor little bastard...

Mike Awesome -v- J.T. Smith (ECW '95) Both men are on top. Awesome lifts Smith for a top rope powerbomb, and the top rope snaps.
J.T. Smith -v- Hack Myers (ECW '95) Smith goes for a tope, gets his feet caught on the top rope, drops down headfirst on the cement. got a Rahman-like lump on his head. STILL finished the match.
Originally posted by Super Shane SpearI seem to remember a certain match at Royal Rumble 2k1 between Ivory and Chyna that was worse.
No way. I never saw Ivory or Chyna just fall down without being touched. Best part of that match was the look on Trish's face right after Trish did the top-rope bulldog and Jackie sold it worse than anyone on the roster (including Hogan) could have. I think she could have punched her.
How 'bout the time Rock called Nash "Big Daddy Bitch" and didn't tell him beforehand and they "had heat"?
Yeah, right.
My favorite was the run in, where the guy dressed like Chris Jericho jumped in the ring while Rock was cutting a promo ON Chris Jericho and then security beat the guys ass, while Rock ad-libbed "Why don't you get your jerk-off dad outta' the ring!" Jericho couldn't stop laughing. Best part was this was on Smackdown and they kept it in.
Also, if you wanna' watch someone whose off mic ad-libs crack me up, watch Angle.
Acutally, there's a drinking game where you take a sip if Kurt whoo's, take a big drink if Kurt says "It's True, it's True" and drink a whole beer everytime Kurt ad-libs "son of a bitch" or "Oh yeah" off mic (oh yeah usually accompianies his run in's and successes). He does it EVERY SINGLE TIME! you can almost set your watch by it he does it so frequently.
Edit: I stand corrected, this took place on a RAW, Smackdown didn't happen for a nother month. I stand corrected.

I am the consumer and your product is not living up to my expectations. I could open up an Andrew Gilkison message board and cry about it, but that's a waste of my time.

Watching RAW and Smackdown doesn't cost anymore than your posts do. And so, like a good consumer, I'm tuning you out.
The Rock slipping and almost falling on the people's ass when he walked out on his way to the ring at WrestleMania X7... I saw it live but they didn't show it on the PPV.
How about all those worked bloopers with Shawn Stasiak last year... I loved those!
Later in the match at Wrestlemania X7, The Rock bumps Earl Hebner, who drops the blade he was handing to The Rock on the floor in front of the camera.
Another great one from the same PPV is Test getting is leg stuck in the ropes. It's great to watch Eddy 'taking advantage' while trying not to make it look too obvious that he is trying to free him.
From the desk of Swordsman Yen A while back, when The Rock was cutting a promo backstage in front of his "dressing room", Pat Patterson opens the door, and quickly closes it when he realizes they're on live.
