I don't think anybody will able to top that one, but Piper's pit with Morton Downey Jr. at Mania 5 has to be up there. That was pretty boring lol  Piper: "You used to have all these warts all over your face. Big nasty green ones! The only thing you could go out with was a guy who rang bells going hello a nice to see ya. What happened to the warts? Downey: "I gave them to a homeless warthog." Piper: "I didn't know your girlfriend was homeless!" I don't know whats sadder. The fact I have that exchange memorized, or the fact I found it funny. |

There's an episode of NXT season 3 with no wrestling whatsoever.
TNA's done the 40+ minute opening promo twice, both times after a Bound For Glory. Seriously, that's how Immortal started and ended, with overlong and boring promos.

The Warrior vs. Rude posedown at the '89 Rumble. Time stood still, I swear. It's a testament to Jesse's announcing that I still remember his enthusiasm trying to salvage that. (Warrior does a "best abs" pose!) "TOO SMOOTH, GO-RILLA! Those abs are TOO SMOOTH!" |

There's an episode of NXT season 3 with no wrestling whatsoever. Yeah, it was the last one that was actually aired on TV in the US before it became an internet-exclusive. The contents of this episode of a wrestling show with no wrestling on it were... *A wheelbarrow race *30 minutes of promos for other things happening at the time (mostly buildup for Hell In A Cell 2010) *A Diss The Diva contest It didn't even have the CM Punk commentary that so many were fans of on that show, just more of Cole and Mathews having a moan. Couldn't stand that series of NXT, mostly because WWE legitimately made it OK to mock the poor f***ing women involved in it. |

That time the entire McMahon family came out and were stunned (stunnered?) by Austin. Apparently, this segment was only 10 mins long but seemed like it was about 40

The Piper picking his team before Uncensored was terrible. Just think at first they was going to let Piper have that team at the PPV Why must you bring that memory back? Should have let it alone. Shocked nobody mentioned "This Is Your Life, Rock"; I know a lot of people here hated it. There was a thread about how awful it was. |

(Warrior does a "best abs" pose!) "TOO SMOOTH, GO-RILLA! Those abs are TOO SMOOTH!" In fairness, Monsoon, Rude and Heenan also played their part in making this as entertaining as expected. You had Heenan trying to flatter the audience ('Remember, Houston, we love ya!'), Rude insulting Okerlund and getting a laugh at the term 'divet head' (after calling him 'Little man' previously in the segment) and Monsoon giving Rude credit where necessary.. (*Rude poses showing a very impressive physique, the crowd boos*) Monsoon: 'Well, that's not quite fair.' Jesse: 'You're darn right it's not fair!' It was inevitable that Warrior would get jumped, and I know they needed a build up to it, but it did go on for a bit longer than it should have done. |

McMahon's "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENOS" promo during the Denver Debacle....so petty and boring and (in my opinion) even the live crowd felt/seemed dead afterwards...

The 30 minute portion of RAW that they dedicated to setting up Rock vs. Hogan is one of the most painful things I've ever sat through.

The episode Impact after Bound For Glory has already been mentioned but I remember a similar thing happened on WCW Nitro in 2001 with a very long opening promo with Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell and others hosting a 'funeral' for Goldberg after he lost the night before. The likes of Kevin Nash and DDP get involved and the whole thing just seemed to go on forever

That Charlotte/Paige segment. Cringeworthy may be the better word though.

Only because I was there:
At a Smackdown taping, Eddie walks to the ring (no music) with something in his hand.
Proceeds to stand there and stare at - a ha! - Rey's mask.
Says nothing, then leaves.
No one in the arena had any context on why or how this furthered the feud (Eddie vs. Rey in the Summer 2005 "Dominic" angle).
Killed all the heat in the building (though technically I think the A/C was on~).

Randy Savage and Elizabeth getting married at Summerslam '91.
At least those who bought the Colliseum release got the added bonus footage of Jake Roberts crashing the ceremony, but the poor souls who bought the PPV got absolutely no payoff to the painfully boring wedding segment.

Stevie Richards (wearing drag) getting beat up by Tomko's boring offence, it just wouldn't end.

The Impact after Bound For Glory 2010 began with a 45-minute segment with Immortal that lasted through TWO commercial breaks. Then it was followed by a non-match with Tara laying down for Madison Rayne, then more talking. This for me, by a landslide. I've seen WWE segments that dragged on too long, but that was one of the few times I can recall honestly feeling insulted and drained after one. Also in retrospect, the Impact where Hogan debuted is mostly two hours of old dudes talking about crap only a select group of diehard wrestling fans would even remember or care about, with one great main event match with Angle and Styles that doesn't really make up for it. |

The A-Team segment and Donald vs Rosie was just dumb. Someone needs to tell Vince he has no idea what comedy is.
The WWE makes the Rock's This is Your Life segment sound like it is up there with M*A*S*H's final episode and the Dallas episode that revealed who shot J.R.

There was a Nitro after the first Road Wild where they showed highlights of the boys on Harleys being led by Bischoff to the event.
