There was an episode of Heat where Test beat Jeff Jarrett for the IC title, and then Debra told the ref something and they reversed the decision. Does anybody remember this/know what it was about? IIRC it was just cheap heat with it being implied Debra was offering the ref some kind of sexual favor so Test was screwed over even though he won fair and square. I just watched the match back. Ken Shamrock ran out when referee Harvey Whippleman got KOed and helped Test win the match. Tim White came out to tell him that Shamrock ran in on the match but Harvey was gonna keep the ruling the same. Then Debra went over and whispered in his ear and that’s when he gave the belt back to Jarrett. So it was definitely implied she bribed him with sex, but there was reason for the match to be over turned. Here’s a link youtu.be/NIM9YzoJO40

Anybody remember a segment where Tiger Ali Singh offered money to anyone who can shove a kielbasa down their throat, and then a member of the audience did revealing that she was one of the Godfather's hoes?

Anyone remember that episode of RAW where The Big Show brought down the titan tron? I believe it was in 1999. I think "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was in the same segment. Yeah Vince put up an image of Austin's Smoking Skull belt and demanded it be displayed on the Titantron for the remainder of Raw. Show brought it down and Austin shredded the screen with a giant hook. It made for a great visual seeing the Smoking Skull ripped to shreds as Raw went off the air.

Cena coining the term "WCW Thunder bad" on a random Raw.
An ironic statement, considering Raw has had lower lows than Thunder probably ever did.

OK so this is a weird one, but I swear at one point around 98/99 WCW was using some group of British wrestlers as jobbers for Thunder and Saturday night stuff (all we got in the UK at the time was the international version of Worldwide, so it's Nitro recaps plus jobber matches) and one of them happened to be called Chris Benlaw. Presumably for a lame joke, they put these 3 guys up against 3 guys including Benoit at one point.
I can't find a record of it because everything obviously assumes I wanna autocorrect to Benoit, but I remember it. I even remember that the guy's ring gear made him look like some young Dynamite Kid knockoff.

Here's something I don't see brought up alot. At the 1998 Royal Rumble after Ahmed Johnson was eliminated, Kama Mustafa came out as an entrant, and then shoved an exiting Johnson on the way to the ring AND HE DID NOTHING TO RETALIATE. This was a man who two, or even a year earlier was primed to be the next break out star. It seems at that point he no longer seemed to care and was just phoning it in as evident as him leaving the company a month later.

Around 2002-3, there was an ad for the film "Old School" that was interrupted by Chris Nowinski who urged people not to see the movie, claiming that's not what college was all about, only for Okerlund to come in and chastise him and claim the film was fun. I get the feeling they were going to have Chris become some Bob Backlund/RTC type "moral crusader", but soon afterwards he had to retire and ended up doing something much more important.

I never hear people bring up Honky Tonk Man's brief time in WCW. So out of place.
Also, I remember a segment headed into Wrestlemania XV where Luna confronts Sable and talks about how she only got to the top because of her looks. She was stuttering the whole time as she was trying to get her point across. It was like a weird worked shoot.
In 2000, The Rock was doing a promo against Kane and Chris Benoit about finding things and to tell Kane to look for the penis Benoit claims he has.
Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit(tag team champions at the time) interrupting a Vince McMahon promo with showing video footage of his performance at the 1987 Slammys titled "Stand Back."
Oh, and Marcus Cor Von eliminating himself from a battle royal after a failed attempt to eliminate him. He literally jumps over the top rope and hit the floor.

Ahmed probably saw the writing on the wall at that point and didn't care. Charles Wright probably hated him in real life since Charles worked on and off with WWF for 5-6 years and went nowhere while Ahmed was immediately poised for a top spot with his debut. It's not Ahmed's fault he failed, it's Ron Simmons in kicking the crap out of his kidney on his Raw debut because he felt Ahmed didn't pay his dues and lies about it on shoots. Ahmed's career was never the same but veterans and fans blamed Ahmed rather than Ron because "dis business" and "respect" and "paying dues" and all that crap. Ron gets a full pass while fans to this day hate Ahmed under the false belief he was injury prone. He wasn't injured until Ron purposely destroyed his kidney.

While there's no excuse for Simmons to stiff Ahmed, he can hardly be blamed for his failure. Ahmed had a habit of injuring other wrestlers and himself, not to mention having a bad attitude backstage. I think Johnson could've been a reliable upper midcard act into the Attitude Era if he worked on those issues.

Here's another one, in the summer of 1999, in promoting the video game WWF Attitude, D'lo Brown was being interviewed. That's not the strange part since he was in the midst of the biggest push of his career(being the first Euro-Continental). What was out of whack though was the video game promotion was showing video clips from WCW. Does anybody remember that?

Did I imagine Delirious as one of Matt Morgan's opponents when he was doing that stuttering gimmick in 2005? I feel like I saw it happen but can't remember if it was on Smackdown or Velocity.

I think around the same time there was a segment Nowinksi cuts a promo in a classroom then brawls with Tommy Dreamer who hits him on the side of the face with a Singapoore Cane to end it, yet I can't seem to find any footage of this anywhere.

At the 2000 King of The Ring, I remember Rikishi calling Kurt Angle "Captain America" I found it hilarious. Does anybody besides me remember that?
Also, I remember during Million Dollar Mania where Vince was giving away free money, Cryme Tyme randomly came out to look at the money, then left. You'd think they'd create a diversion by having one distract the chairman while the other takes the money, but no, nothing.
Also, I could've sworn I've seen Great Khali do a Steve Urkel impression by pulling up his pants and go "did I do that?" I think it was at a PPV.

Am I the only one to notice during the 1989 Royal Rumble event, the banner was moving back and forth throughout the whole PPV? Nobody said anything about that.
Oh, and at one of the mid-2000s Royal Rumble, Jim Ross was mistaking Charlie Haas for Rene Dupree.

Here's another one. During the bidding war for Scott Steiner between RAW and Smackdown, Nidia flirts with Steiner and he grabs her ass and she acts all shocked, like she was prickteasing him.
