Those moments that just rob a wrestler of any credibility, not necessarily because they lost a match, but because they look like a complete and utter prat in the process as well. Moments that mean you can't take them seriously at all. Maybe this lasts forever, maybe they manage to recover. Whatever the outcome, there are just moments when you watch it and think "Wow, what a complete and utter goober."
Two spring to mind for me. First one is Sting vs. Bobby Roode in TNA when Sting loses because he decks himself on the back of a head with a chair while falling down. A perfectly set up chair that he failed to notice and knocked himself out on it, letting Roode pick up the victory because Sting failed to notice it right in the middle of the ring.
The second one is Finn Balor vs. Roman Reign, where Balor awakens the Demon, goes through an elaborate light show to finally power up in order to defeat Roman... and then falls flat on his face after the turnbuckle collapses. Quick move and a pin later and the Demon loses any sense of drama behind it, especially lacking any kind of follow up.
Those are my goober moments, how about yours?

The "car accident" promo from Matt Hardy hurt him so damn much.

Lex Luger having a big celebration with balloons and confetti and the other babyfaces on the roster for beating Yokozuna… by countout, and thus not winning the WWF Championship.

To be fair, I'm not sure if even walking through without tripping arse over elbow would have done him any favours. |

"If Ricochet wins, The Hurt Business have to leave him alone" It was such a stupidly-handled stipulation. If they presented it as MVP saying that if Ricochet won, they'd consider the matter settled, or something like that, that'd have been fine. This just made him look like a wuss with no friends. |

Bayley in that Alexa feud I'm still not over it I guess I forgive a lot of it just since they later had Bayley beat Alexa and Nikki a shitload of times, even both at the same time in a match. Still, would be really funny to have Bayley wail on Alexa sometime with a kendo stick as a callback. In any case, Bayley's surpassed her like twice over in accomplishments, so the best revenge is living well. |

The "car accident" promo from Matt Hardy hurt him so damn much. It didn't help that Edge cut an absolute masterclass as a response either. |

Like, I'd compare that Edge promo to a Cactus Jack one, which I wouldn't be surprised if Edge was intentionally taking some guidance there. I definitely mean that as high praise. |

Sting's entire WCW existence.
I like to think Stone Cold adopted "DTA" after years in WCW of watching Sting get hoodwinked.

Lesnar bores the shit of me eliminating everybody from the rumble with ease.
Keith Lee enters, suddenly Brock is scared and the new guy looks great. Then Braun comes in and together they should be able to slay the beast. Instead they fight each other and are eliminated.
Absolute f***ing morons.
I'm probably a big minority opinion of it's seriousness but to me they will forever be those idiots.
