A few years ago, there was an internet report that said Kurt Angle thought Chris Sabin looked like Pigpen from the Peanuts. I thought that was a huge missed opportunity, by having the crowds chant Pigpen at Chris Sabin, especially during a time when X-Divison heels really didn't get any heat. It's a call and response. The heel beats up the baby face, and the crowd try to get under the heel's skin, derailing his train of thought of helping the baby face get the comeback. It wasn't that Angle thought Sabin looked like Pigpen, it was that he was pitching the idea of giving Sabin a Pigpen gimmick, so it would've been a lot worse than just having people chant at him.

Randy Orton to Kofi: "That's the problem with you people, give you an inch and you take a mile." He actually said this to Shelton Benjamin.

Hogan calling Yokozuna "the Jap, brother!" in 1993 wasn't exactly a wise choice.

The way Lawler dwelled on Trish saying Molly Holly had a big ass apparently made her cry. I've never gotten either side of this argument. On one hand, you have the IWC and such saying "Molly didn't have a big butt". Yeah, she did. It wasn't ridiculously titanic but she definitely had some junk in the trunk, as the kids say. But what WWE didn't realize is that her big butt went well with her body-type and she carried it extremely well. I daresay it's one of the finer butts they've employed, in my own opinion. And as I'm not the only man in America that would prefer a healthy back bumper like Molly's to, say, Kelly Kelly's skinny little ass, how I was supposed to hate Molly over this in mind-boggling. Molly Holly had a big butt that looked great. Her being made to cry over it makes everything Michael Cole ever said to Jerry Lawler OK in my book. Hell, didn't WWE themselves temporarily re-name the Molly Go Round the "Junk in the Trunk"?

Michael Cole talking about Jerry Lawler's dead mother. This was made especially worse because she'd been dead for about a week when he started with it. Not to mention that the feud absolutely didnt need that to be dragged in. No feud does.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this so far... I've always felt torn about this clip. On one hand, I can understand if Gilbert hated Lawler and if Lawler was incensed with this clip. But on the other hand, I don't know why Gilbert didn't shoot on his barber, who victimized him with that ridiculous haircut.

Not to mention that the feud absolutely didnt need that to be dragged in. No feud does. Now see, I didn't have a problem with it because Lawler was involved. It most likely was his idea right out of his Memphis playbook. To get offended by that when Lawler has done far worse in the past boggles my mind.

All of these are good examples (to me at least) of the lines of reality being blurred and that everyone involved were putting on a show...You really expect me to believe that a guy like randy Orton doesn't have the kind of pull to look at a line like Eddies in hell, not be able to change the line if he wanted too? no way in hell...and also Eddie seemed like the type of company man who would be ok with it. Look at some of the angles the had participated in.

Almost all of the Memphis footage prior to 1979 no longer exists. I shudder to think what was said about any minority wrestlers back in the less "enlightened" 60's and early 70's. This is from 1981: Back in the day though, a lot of people thought of it as real. So the idea was, this heel is a racist, we should boo this heel. And I didn't know that about Angle and Sabin and Sabin actually having a Pigpen gimmick. The idea behind the chants would be Sabin would hate it and yell at the fans for them to stop.

Vince calling Cena his "n****" in front of Booker T. I don't understand why people were upset about this. Vince was clearly the butt of the joke in this segment. He was trying too hard to be cool when talking to Cena and failed miserably because he's out of touch. The best part being that he's completely oblivious to it and struts off feeling very proud of himself.

Look at some of the angles the had participated in. at the time, who knows how much pull Randy had. That was around the time period where he was constantly getting in trouble. In Jericho's second book, he said when he heard the line he was very offended and felt Eddie would never have been okay with the line. The nWo Horsemen skit has some interesting stories behind it. According to quite a few people, Arn thought it was funny but his family was offended, and Ric Flair hated it so it got him all worked up.

I think the worse part of that is imagining Molly Holly crying. Not only did she feel humiliated, but the final straw was having her put over Christy Hemme--and then she was told there would be even more women from the diva search coming in...she saw the writing on the wall. It's sad because she was one of the sweetest people they've ever employed, a fantastic wrestler, just didn't have that crowd connection. I'm glad she was able to do other things after she left.

Rumor has it that Vince was so pissed off after hearing that he was going to fire Ric Flair on the spot until HHH talked him out of it. Story I heard, and I'm pretty sure at least some details of the story we're tellin' has been confirmed, was that Vince did fire him. Hunter got him the job back after working damage control with the sponsors that Vince had there The nWo Horsemen skit has some interesting stories behind it. According to quite a few people, Arn thought it was funny but his family was offended, and Ric Flair hated it so it got him all worked up. I'd never heard anything about Arn finding it funny. Yeah, I've never heard about Arn finding it funny. I have heard stories that Arn really didn't care until he talked to his family and realized how much it had upset them tho

An example of a promo going too far but being totally awesome was Hardcore Holly calling Cole a "s***head".
I miss Holly, the curmudgeonly old coot.
