It wasnt just shots at the main rival, at Starrcade 95, one of the announcers makes a passing reference to the Smoky Mountains, and Dusty (I think) says "there's no wrestling in the smoky mountains". This was right after SMW closed down.

Would The Rock talking about how Chris Jericho was wrestling some guy named "Juventud" when he was in "the other promotion" count as a jab? Juventud Guerrero. Rocky legit f***ed up his name which made it even funnier |

Jim Ross referring to the "NWO clothing line".
Ahmed Johnson at the Slammies giving a speech about "We can be emulated, but we can never be duplicated."

I'm sure Vince considered this the height of edgy for them to jab at WCW by name. This clip is also notable for him practically begging viewers to buy the PPV encore of Badd Blood. |

Kurt Angle suggesting Sami Zane and Kevin Owens go to TNA remains one of my favorite moments of recent memory.

Survivor Series 98:
JR: "I know we're getting close to 11:00, but we'll stick with this match for as long as it takes."
Lawler: "Yeah, you're going to get to see all of this pay-per-view!"
JR: "That's not very nice, King, taking shots at the less fortunate."
Lawler: "It's not nice, but it's accurate."
There was also a special they ran before SummerSlam one year, which included the Yokozuna/Hogan match from King of the Ring 93 and the sound byte of Heenan saying "HulkaMania is dead!"
During the Slammys one year, Todd Pettengil's opening song number included the line "screw you, Ted Turner!"
I also can't believe nobody has mentioned "maybe I'll go to Ring of Honor! *beat* Hey Colt Cabana, how you doing?"

Would The Rock talking about how Chris Jericho was wrestling some guy named "Juventud" when he was in "the other promotion" count as a jab? HE TOOK HIS MASK! (Also, I forget, had Juvi already begun shamelessly cribbing Rock for his "The Juice is Loose" thing he was trying to push? Or did that happen later?) |

January 13th, 1997. This Nitro was going to lead on to the premiere of TNT's new show, The New Adventures of Robin Hood. Hogan vs The Giant would play during the commercial breaks of the show to get WCW fans to watch the new show.
The next week on Raw, JR dug in. "You won't have to watch Robin Hood to see all of tonight's main event!"

Likely in 2000 when Juvi joined the Filthy Animals. |
