The fact that Undertaker's supposedly dead brother was not only alive but had been training to become a professional wrestler just to get revenge on his brother for murdering their parents.

Batista's 2009/2010 heel run being focused on him being too good for the WWE and the ultimately being proven right after going out of his way to try and have the WWE linked up with the MCU is pretty great now

This was your standard heel mockery of the babyfaces at the time, but in hindsight its darkly funny at how accurate the two ended up being.

He used to always want to keep his mask on, too, before then spending a significant portion of his career unmasked in various degrees. |

I remember watching the trailer on here and a lot of board members thought it was going to be Marvels first big L. Turns out everyone loves a good rag, tag band of misfits. Good album too. |

Triple H's tearful "pops" thing taking kayfabe control from Vince McMahon in 2011 is certainly awkward in retrospect.

He used to always want to keep his mask on, too, before then spending a significant portion of his career unmasked in various degrees. Time to get a little meta here. What I find hilarious is when watching that emotional promo from Paul Bearer at King of the Ring 1998 (one of my first examples of seeing Paul Bearer cut a promo that wasn't some hammy stuff with Taker) is that he said that Kane would sit in his apartment and watch WWF Superstars and say "Dad, I want to be like him." Even when thinking about it, it's clear Isaac Yankem was nowhere close to "being like his 'brother.'" Hell, the two faced each other when Kane was Yankem and Fake Diesel. In my mind, Glen Jacobs probably thought "You're going to make my career one day, Mark." |

Jose Lothario. After the legendary meme we’ve made, he really does look like an unwanted doof in all of his 96/97 appearances.

As WWE didn't have a stake in all of the movies they did promote, listed above...or did they? There was also Stacy on DWTS, and Sasha on Mandalorian. Does WWE have a problem with Disney in general? (not totally true again...they did promote The Muppets...) |

(not totally true again...they did promote The Muppets...) as far as I know there no stake in any of the movies I listed maybe there is some bitterness that WWE weren't involved in getting these roles, I believe Sasha Banks got noticed for the Mandolorian when she was a guest star on the Hot Ones show. Can't speak for Keibler though. |
