Isn't that the one where John Cena sneaks up behind a guard and whispers to himself "You can't see me"?

The best part of Big Apple Take Down is that they had it ready to go when Eddie died, so they just replaced every "Eddie" with "Chavo." Oh and added a scene here Chavo thinks about what a swell guy Batista was to say nice things about his uncle at his loving funeral.

The best part of Big Apple Take Down is that at the very end when Triple H has his showdown with the bad guy. The bad guy escapes in his car and almost runs Triple H over. But wait! Triple H found a loving sledgehammer laying on the ground in this alley. So Trips throws the sledgehammer through the windshield and the car loses control and crashes into a wall.

Why haven't they adapted this into a WWE Films movie yet? edit: You know there has to be kids that have read this book and Kane's book and turned in book reports on them.

I'm going to assume someone's career crashing into a wall once they face Triple H was completely intentional.

I was reading more about Bobby Heenan and the Heenan Family recently and I love how through multiple feds and decades, you can see that Bobby Heenan has one single solitary mission statement: find the biggest, strongest dudes available and make them crush your enemies, drive them before you, and hear the lamentations of Gorilla Monsoon. I think he is the most consistently gimmmicked manager in history.

I hear Pontius Pilate was a jerk and refused to job to Jesus. Jesus was good like that, allways did what was right for buisiness. I don't think a screwy finish would have worked there.

Dude how can you forget what he did to The Rock after all that selling? Couldn't believe that comeback. Edit: Wrestling Challenge was the B show, pretty much just material from other shows with some jobber matches. Not to say it isn't great, but there isn't a whole lot of angle developelemt on that show.
