I think my favorite pointless humiliation moment was HHH needlessly coming out and lowblowing Wade Barrett. It was SO dumb and SO HHH I had to laugh. I liked when Kendrick and London made the save and he just pedigreed them both while they stood there like smiling goofs. Seemed to be a common problem for London

JBL beating up Hornswoggle in that steel cage on Raw in 2007. I even bought his Merch after that and never wore it.

Michaels being called out by Bret for all the shit he did in the past during their DVD debate thing. Seeing Shawn back down to admitting and apologizing to just about any fault due to alleged bad memory is such a Shawn Michaels move. He may thump his bible all he likes but he’ll never truly repent. Michaels should have called out Bret for his serial cheating to show he's not the angel his fans think. Are you referring to the serial cheating that Bret himself goes into great detail about in his very own autobiography? Because he clearly makes no attempt to hide it. Anyway, Bret's personal life was his personal life. His marital infidelities had zero effect on the workplace. The behavior of Shawn and The Kliq often negatively effected the workplace. That's the difference.

Not after Gunn knocked out Williams on live TV and got some buzz because of that. As much as they wouldn't want to push Bart, they're not going to have him score a shock upset and then lose in the next round. Just cut your losses and have him win, then embarrass him later. I'm not saying the whole tournament was a work, just all of Bart's matches after he fought Williams. That is, unless you find it credible that he knocked out three guys exactly the same way in a tournament where all the other matches went to sloppy draws? It seems like a lot of effort to go through the process of getting the okay to do real fights on a pro wrestling card only to secretly turn those shoots into works midway through for petty, BS reasons. Not sure I understand; it's not more work to just tell JBL "At this signal in the second round, he'll swing for your face and you go down." Dude's a pro wrestler; he knows about jobbing. And it's not petty reasons; it's trying to salvage an angle out of something that had already gone off the rails. Turn the upset kid into the feel-good winner; it's a natural story. (The petty part was the Butterbean fight later.)

I don't know if this quite counts as humiliation but I enjoyed seeing Brie Bella being given her receipt by Sarah Logan after she knocked Liv out cold. It was quite a "bitch I don't give a f*** who you are" moment.

Not sure it counts and I know it’s not too popular around here, but I always get a smile when the crowd tries to hijack a really weak segment. I feel bad for the performers involved for the most part, because they didn’t write that crap. But the writers in the back must be sweating bullets.

It may have stunk to high heaven, but the Brawl for All apparently being conceived to spite JBL will always be funny to me.

If they were open to doing worked fights in this tournament, they could have just had any of Gunn's opponents win, before or after the Williams KO. Holly, Williams, Godfather, and Bradshaw were all guys WWE would have rather pushed than Bart Gunn. Not after Gunn knocked out Williams on live TV and got some buzz because of that. As much as they wouldn't want to push Bart, they're not going to have him score a shock upset and then lose in the next round. Just cut your losses and have him win, then embarrass him later. I'm not saying the whole tournament was a work, just all of Bart's matches after he fought Williams. That is, unless you find it credible that he knocked out three guys exactly the same way in a tournament where all the other matches went to sloppy draws? He only knocked out Godfather and Bradshaw afterwards. Holly was by decision.

The people that actually worked there?

Considering he was messing with him first, when JBL got Roundhouse Kicked the f*** out by Steve Blackman in an airport.

Stephanie posting a feminist quote on Twitter only for AJ Lee to reply and blast WWE's portrayal of female wrestlers was pretty amusing.

Batista/Big Show getting booed to all hell in Hammerstein was pretty cathartic. Honestly anytime you predict a match getting a bad reaction and it being exactly what you called usually feels pretty good (Lesnar/Reigns from last Mania for example). Michaels being called out by Bret for all the shit he did in the past during their DVD debate thing. Seeing Shawn back down to admitting and apologizing to just about any fault due to alleged bad memory is such a Shawn Michaels move. He may thump his bible all he likes but he’ll never truly repent. You think Shawn is a bible thumper? What do you mean by that? Because he's a Christian?

(The petty part was the Butterbean fight later.) WWE had to go to the athletic commissions in the states where these BFA matches were held, explain what they wanted to do (real fights with pro wrestlers on the same cards as worked pro wrestling matches), and get the okay to do it. That's a lot of time and effort just to turn the thing into a work.

Another great one: Daniel Puder humbles Kurt Angle by almost breaking his arm in front of a live audience on Smackdown. I was probably the biggest Kurt Angle fan in the world at that time, but that was just ridiculous bully tactics and I was glad that they backfired on him and the WWE office. In a contest like Tough Enough, you should try to teach the contestants to work, get over, and be entertaining. You do not try to shoot on them and take liberties with them just because you can. Like him or not, Daniel Puder absolutely did the right thing that night.
