His ongoing feud with the Armstrongs was funny. "Somebody call my mama, I just whupped the whole Armstrong family. Where's Bullet Bob?"

That probably was the best thing Santino ever did (not that it's a high bar). He had a counter he'd bring out every show and declare how far along he was to surpassing Honky Tonk Man

Yeah, and according to Henry when he went to tell Vince his plans to do this, Vince told him "Okay Mark, but remember, we have no room in WWE for the World's Second Strongest Man." So it was win or be fired

It led to a funny diatribe from Austin on his podcast about the exact mechanics of the Stunner and how if you didn't properly kick the guy in the gut first then it was the difference between landing a knockout punch in boxing after taking the wind out of the opponent and just plain hitting him in the head

It's really kind of incredible how much better WCW booked the Giant than WWE did the Big Show. Up until the very end when Nash finally Kevin Nashed him, the Giant was treated like walking death for whoever he was facing. It usually took gigantic scmozz finishes for the opponent to have a chance

Alternately be like Jack Evans, loudly declare "Here's a move you've never seen!", do two backflips, a cartwheel and then rake the guy's eyes

WWE really likes that whole bit. There was also the time Orton was feuding with Undertaker, Orton hallucinated Cowboy Bob covered in blood. Then he was fine so it was made clear that we, the audience, were apparently hallucinating along with Randy, and uigoigoi

Guy A and Guy B are wrestling. Guy C shows up at ringside. Guy D (who is feuding with Guy C) also shows up to cut off Guy C. Guy E appears to cheapshot Guy B, Guy A wins with a rollup. That's overbooking

Hirez posted:Godfather was a face at some point right? As a pimp with a ho train, I don't know how but knowing the attitude era he was prolly over as hell as a Pimp. Bob Holly has some pretty great Brawl For All stories. Like according to him, WWE was so convinced that Steve Williams was winning they paid him his prize money up front. Then he lost. From then on management was out to ruin Bart Gunn's poo poo, because how dare he ruin their plans by winning Also Bob bet a whole lot of money on Steve Blackman rampaging the whole thing, which actually seemed like a decent idea until Blackman got hurt

Which makes me realize AEW doesn't really seem to do ref bumps either. They've more or less gotten rid of the trope that the pro wrestling referee is made of glass and is going to get their poo poo ruined so the heel can cheat

Yet all they had to do was book them as a bunch of scary guys who would pop out of the crowd, beat people up and then hold them down for Justin Gabriel to break their ribs. Even if the individual guys in the group were Not Great, it's so drat easy to book around that you'd have to be actively trying not to

For some reason bookers *really* liked having Lex almost kinda sorta win the big one, the crowd would be super into him, and then he'd never actually win the belt. Or at least not until all the momentum was dead.

Which reminds me of the story of Vince challenging Dave Lagana to an impromptu drag race down the highway. Lagana was winning, so Vince tried to run him off the road to his death

He had a funny story about being fired from WWE. A few months afterward he was backstage visiting, Vince wanders up. "Why are you not dressed for your match?" "Uh, I was fired months ago." "You're hired, go get dressed"

The closest thing was probably Moolah. No one except the McMahons were overly bothered at Moolah dying, and their attempts to honor her posthumously were largely poo poo upon until they stopped trying

Jericho had a match against...someone (I've forgotten who) where he was supposed to win, decided that didn't make sense to him and decided on the fly to lose instead.

He had an interesting interview once where he said he actually couldn't stand MMA, because it made him feel terrible to hurt people, yet he was also very, very good at hurting people. So doing fake wrestling instead solved a lot of problems

Dino was pretty funny as Earthquake's little buddy who also had a little buddy in Jimmy Hart. Earthquake would kill people and the two of them would just run in circles around the carnage like goons
