Is it sad that I remember the first part of the Mae skit was her saying "Everyone knows I like it on top!"
I think the Orndorff thing might be the Hulk Hogan workout ad.

Implied Triple H blowjob that got WWE kicked off TSN. Strangely never seems to get mentioned. Hey Vince had just seen Police Academy for the first time. That Gutenberg is going to be something.

Before the Outsiders vs. porn stars match on Nitro (sup, Russo?) there was a segment on Shotgun or whatever with the still-heel Oddities, and Jackyl came out with a model/whatever with similar oversized implants as Minka did. (not Minka too, apparently)

Also, during a June 98 RAW, there was a segment where Al Snow tried to get hired by the WWF and for some reason, there was a Paul Bearer cameo and no one said anything about it. In fact, the Attitude Era had alot of weird random shit that is never talked about.

WWE randomly promoting JBL's Mamajuana energy drink. but that got us the charlie haas JBL impersonation where he was hiding in the trunk of JBL's car, jumped out, confronted JBL in the ring with a bottle of mamajuana. JBL knocks it out of his hand and Hass, just reaches into his pocket and pulls out another bottle of it

Some random memories of mine:
-Sting wrestling a big black jobber in suspenders -Vader kicking El Gigante's ass -Diesel promoting Street Fighter: The Movie and SummerSlam '95 in the same commercial

In January 1999, Ric Flair "re-hired" referee Randy Anderson after Eric Bischoff had fired him on TV in January 1997.
One problem: Anderson's firing had already been overturned in March 1997 when Harvey Schiller suspended Bischoff. Anderson was part of countless matches for the rest of the year and into 1998.

Some random memories of mine: -Diesel promoting Street Fighter: The Movie and SummerSlam '95 in the same commercial That would have been quite a feat, considering that the Street Fighter movie came out in late 94. As for mine, I never saw this, only read about in an old Herb Kunze column, but apparently there was a Scotty Flamingo match where, after he took off his entrance garb, kept asking for a ringboy to pick it up, while Jim Ross pointed out that "we dont have ringboys here". This was around the time of the WWF ringboy scandal, and even Herb wondered if it was a reference to that.

That strange spell in 2019 when WWE didn't want matches running through commercials anymore post-WM. There was, maybe, 3 months in which we would have random restarts, pauses or, most bizarrely, more 2/3 count-fall matches than all of WWE's history combined. No one talks about it anymore. Understandably. I remember the experiment that they did a few years ago where you could actually watch the content that was happening live during commercial breaks on WWE.com. It was actually an interesting idea that predated AEW's picture in picture, and there was actually some interesting stuff that happened during the breaks. Unfortunately, it didn't last very long.

WWF attempting to get Billy G over as a name for Billy Gunn in between Mr. Ass and The One So that's where referring to Chad Gable as Shorty G came from.

During the Bad News/Jake NY sewer rat feud Bad News has a match with perennial jobber Red Tyler who immediately pulls a plastic snake from his trunks. Bad News runs away in fear while the ref confiscates the snake....at which point Bad News then proceeds to beat the hell out of Red. lol

I do however remember his short-lived alliance with The Big Show where the announcers dubbed them "The Show Gunns." It was during the Invasion Angle. Another one was in WCW, it was on Saturday Night's Main Event. I forgot who was involved, but there was a run in during the match, and the target who the run in going for ended up getting pinned. He wasn't even in the match! Also, I remember at the 1988 Survivor Series, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan and Jake "The Snake" Roberts were the only ones left on their team against four other guys. So what does Duggan do? Go outside the ring for no reason and grab his 2X4 and get himself disqualified by attacking Dino Bravo with it. Leaving Roberts to fend for himself! Nobody said anything, not even Jesse Ventura, who's a huge Duggan detractor. Oh, and Jeff Hardy's one month reign as WWF light heavyweight champion.

IIRC USA told them to knock it off with that. When WWE came back they got a worse deal than they had with Spike. One part was USA got all the commercial revenue. So WWE didn't care about the commercials being watched anymore but USA sure did.

On an episode of WCW Saturday Night in the late 90s early 2000s, Perfect Event bullied a production guy. Who the next week locked them in a tanning bed and they had a tag match against the production guy and an actual wrestler while the Perfect Event had bright red sunburns.
