JoeDirt Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 This topic came to mind as I was watching an old Nitro from 1997 today. Ric Flair was doing an interview with Mean Gene and a few ladies that were with him, cutting a promo on Roddy Piper before their match at BatB. Okerlund asks one of the women about Flair, "Is it really true that he's the 60 minute man?" The woman thinks he's talking about Piper, and blurts out, "Yeah, more like 30 seconds!" What are some of your favorite promo blunders?
Lil' Bitch Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 SummerSlam 1988 Mean Gene: Fuck it!
JHawk Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Didn't Sid say something like "I'm half the man you think I am..." on a Nitro? And let's not forget about Sid asking to start a live promo over.

Guest DR PHIL Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 That was good old sid as well! I believe he cutting a promo on nash and said "I have HALF the mind you have!!!" or something equally stupid and insane.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 SummerSlam 1988 Mean Gene: Fuck it! Summerslam 1989* Let's not forget WWF 1995. Sid stumbles over the word "skeptics", says to Jim Ross "I'm sorry, can we do this agin" then J.R. goes "We're live pal." Dibiase's face looks like he's thinkin "Oh boy, what an idiot..."
Guest ToddRoyal Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Jeff Hardy: You like to pick on women so much, well why don't you pick on me?! Bam Bam had an interview like that at some point, too.
WrestlingDeacon Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 What show was it where Harlem Heat was doing an interview and Booker T called Hulk Hogan a nigger? I know it was shortly after the nWo formed, making all the WCW guys defactor faces. And I can't believe that no one has yet to mention the infamous, "and that's why I kicked your leg out of your...uh...leg."
Matt Young Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 I think that was Spring Stampede 1997. It seems like it happened earlier than that, but I'm 99% sure it was Spring Stampede and I know it was after the nWo formed. Harlem Heat, Lex Luger, and The Giant I believe were in a 4 way #1 contender's match for a shot at Hogan's title, and Booker ended a pre-match promo with a line like, "Hulk Hogan, we comin' for ya, nigga!"
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Didn't Sid say something like "I'm half the man you think I am..." on a Nitro? And let's not forget about Sid asking to start a live promo over. I believe it was at the first In Your House. He screwed up and asked JR if they could start over. JR told him they were live.

Actually that line was 1999 WCW I think. The one I said was IYH1 I think, but I haven't seen it in a long time.
Just John Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 How about when Curt Hennig was cutting a promo during his NWO days, and a fan threw a full drink at him and hit him in the back of the head?
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 How about when Curt Hennig was cutting a promo during his NWO days, and a fan threw a full drink at him and hit him in the back of the head? That's hardly Hennig's blunder. If he were in the middle of his sentence and just stumbled over words that made no sense, it would be a blunder...like so many Sid promos.
JJMc Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I remember in '98, shortly after KOTR, Shamrock was feuding with Rocky Maivia. I can't remember the exact line, but somehow Shammy worked in "people's 'chinnercontinental' champion."
Ced Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Bam Bam Bigelow repeatedly called The Wall "World" when he cut a promo on him. Along a tangent, Mike Tyson at the post-WM 14 press conference: "My favorite wrestler? Cone Stold!"
Nevermortal Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Shawn Michaels, explaining his nWo heel turn, and getting a warm reception of: GET TO THE POINT!
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Since we need SOMETHING funny in the thread, here's a classic Jim Ross line... "Lita is jerking Trish off....from the top rope!" Wrestlemania X-8 I think.
JST Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Since we need SOMETHING funny in the thread, here's a classic Jim Ross line... "Lita is jerking Trish off....from the top rope!" Wrestlemania X-8 I think. Odd. One year earlier... "Lita just jerked Edge off ... that ladder!"
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 "TERRI NO!" -Jeff Hardy, 2000 Royal Rumble. The delivery was just so bad it was hilarious.

"Lita is jerking Trish off....from the top rope!" Wrestlemania X-8 I think. Odd. One year earlier... "Lita just jerked Edge off ... that ladder!" Two years before THAT... And Triple H just jerked the Rock off....the top rope. From HHH/Rock Strap match.
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 JR: well Sid, you have a big match tonite... how do you feel? Sid: Well its was like said bef... I cant do it JR: Were live pal!! Sid: Like I said... Ill get self tonite... *walks away feelin like an ass* JR: Well thats Sid... A MAN WITH A FEW WORDS!!

Guest JMA Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 Any Ultimate Warrior promo qualifies.
CanadianChick Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 "TERRI NO!" -Jeff Hardy, 2000 Royal Rumble. The delivery was just so bad it was hilarious. Heh, I just watched that today. Good times.
Lil' Bitch Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I never saw it, but I'll quote JHawk on his experience. Mine: A SmackDown taping in Cleveland just before No Mercy 2000. Road Dogg forgets where he is and goes "Detroit Rock City, welcome to the Dogg House!" The crowd completely turns on him and makes Raven the defacto face, pausing to chant "You're in Cleveland" for about a minute straight. The match is conveniently edited so that not only is Road Dogg's blunder off the air, but the match is cut from just over four minutes to about 2:35 to edit out the crowd chant. Oh, I wish I could have seen that.
Guest wayzing Posted February 27, 2004 Report Posted February 27, 2004 I seem to remember Mr Perfect (of all people) calling Lex Luger, who was doing his Narcissist gimmick at that time, The Lexcisist, stumbling and finally being helped out by whoever was interviewing him.

I remember that and it was amusing in a good way.
