You know how Austin Powers did that waist-high 'I'll take the stairs/elevator/canoe' bit? Hulk Hogan as a face, I THINK WCW pre-nWo days, gives an interview to Mean Gene, flexes with his arms in front of him, pumps his wrists like he's revving a motorcycle (leading me to believe this was a Road Wild?) and slides perfectly smoothly off screen, backwards. Mean Gene looks at him leave for a beat or two, then 'Well there you have it folks' completely unperturbed.

Hogan used to do that in the WWF ALL the time. When I first started watching wrestling I didn't think he could walk off from an interview normally. He did the same thing at Summerslam 90 talking about a water ski, and I think at Rumble 90 as well.

We should have made a separate quote thread just for Hogan.

Because he's hung and he's bung so much.

1991 Royal Rumble

 

Ted DiBiase is berating Virgil, and as both are just standing there, gets hits in the back with a full drink cup.

 

Butch makes his entrance and marches two full circles around the ring before finally getting chopped by Valentine.

Yeah, I actually found that to be funnier than Luke's in and out and wackin to the back sequence later on. Butch's march just seemed like something he did on the spur of the moment.

 

Plus, in RR91, Roma and Valentine work over Bret Hart in the corner. Then, they turn on each other. Bret, starting to come to, sees Roma/Valentine slugging it out and just shrugs them off and takes a break much to the amusement of the front row.

At the '97 Rumble, Austin eliminates Roberts as Bulldog is making his entrance. As Bulldog is running to the ring, the camera catches a shot of the ring just long enough to see Austin throw the snake out right on top of Jake's head.

It's hard to see on tape, but at Survivor Series 89 the 4x4s are doing this routine of exchanging the 2x4s by tossing them to each other, and while they've got a wide shot you see Ron Garvin drop one before picking it up as if nothing happened.

November To Remember '98, Tanaka/Balls vs. The Dudleys. Crooked ref Jeff Jones runs in and does his whole 'oh, I've pulled my shoulder' act when counting a Tanaka pin. Tanaka starts yelling at Jones, who responds by yelling 'What the fuck are you saying!?!' before eventually pulling out a Japanese phrase book to Tanaka's bemusement.

 

Cheap laugh, I know.

A routine I've done that's garnered a few laughs:

 

Heel wrestler complains about a nearfall, and I insist it was only two. And so, I proceed to re-enact the entire pinfall by myself, playing all the roles. :P

 

Oh and once there was thumbtacks in the ring. So I counted with my foot.

I'll try this one one more time and see if I'm not the only one who saw this.

 

Around the time BBB was arriving in WCW to take out goldberg, he gets told off or kicked out of the building or something. I believe he is in the parking lot, and all the sudden he lets out a grunt because he's pissed about not being able to go in. the camera pans to the left to see Scott Hall point laugh and do a weak crotch chop RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM before proceeding to get thrown into a coke machine and have his ass kicked.

 

What the hell he was doing there, I'll never know. Classic.

Right now,these moments come to my mind as being hilarious :

 

1.Big Show and Val Venis are taking a pee in the loo.Val looks at Show and says "And they call you the Big Show?"

 

2.Val Venis at Summerslam 98 "I came,I saw ....and then I came again"

 

3.Interviewer: " Rock,How do you feel about all the internims in the white house?" .. The Rock : "Well,as long as all the the internims beneath the Rock know their damn role and they don`t do anything orally bad...excuse me morally bad..The Rock has no problem with

them."

 

4.Steiner does a superman jump at Bad Blood :)

 

5.One of Naturals hits the camera while climbing the six-sided cage on TNA

 

6.Kurt spits milk in a girl`s face

Hall was supposed to have a match against Bam Bam at Starrcade that year, but it never happened because it was WCW.

Armageddon 2000: Taker throws Angle face-first into the side of the cell. Then, Taker sets up to punch Kurt and as he does the Double Feature of the cage shot comes on screen. What makes this funny is that the 'whip' sound effect used for the Double Feature comes on JUST as Taker connects with Angle's head. My friend and I still laugh at Taker's infamous Whip Punch.

 

Souled Out 1998: Hall is wrestling Larry Z (whom he just slammed) but is distracted by Dusty Rhodes on the apron. Zbysko gets up and almosts jumps Hall, but thinks better of it and PLAYS POSSUM, awkwardly falling back into position like he broke his hip or something.

At Good Friends, Better Enemies, Nash threw his vest out of the ring and it landed right on Vince McMahon, who was doing commentary.

 

At a later IYH (I want to say International Incident, but I'm not positive), the camera was on Vince, JR & King during a lull, and a kid reached over and put a Burger King crown on Lawler's head.

Vince and JR were welcoming everyone to Survivor Series 1996 (may have been the Free for All though). This was during JR's first bitter ol man phase. Vince quips something about JR making sure his ego is kept in check which prompts JR to say something to effect of, "Oh you're one to talk about egos!"

 

Then Vince turns to the camera w/ a classic,

"AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!"

I really need to see these...especially the motorcycle one.

Don't forget about him backstroking off screen at WMIV.

Any time Crash Holly went to pin someone. He just spreads his arms and flops on the person.

Indeed.

 

Add in Crash's entrance in the 2000 Rumble. The 'pose and rub chin' became legendary amongst me and my friends for months afterwards.
