I feel like Booker T buying magic voodoo dust to throw at The Undertaker has been lost to history and I can't forget it ever

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.

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. That banner was wild!

Barry Windham main eventing a PPV against Hulk Hogan as Col. Robert Parker’s Stable Stud that neither promoted Windham nor recapped him in a program after. The identities of Shawn Michaels’s knights (Jeff Gaylord, Steve Lombardi, Greg Valentine) I remember the Windham/Flair match from Slamboree 94 mostly because the buildup was hinting at Hogan (a blonde, close to 300 lbs with a grudge with Flair)only for it to be Windham. I don't think they ever gave away the identities of the Knights from Survivor Series 93 that I can recall.

[/quote] Someone said the original plan was for Terry Funk, who was slated to be a Knight, to be unmasked. It's for the best he didn't make it since the match was all about the rift between Owen and Bret. Barry came out to Arn Anderson's awesome 1995 theme at Slamboree 1994. It amazes me it took over a year for WCW to use this great theme for someone else. I think it fit Arn better though. It was like a battle theme and Arn ever the keeper of kayfabe probably saw every match as real as a world war. Barry on the other hand I think phoned it in after his 1993 exit from WCW no matter where he went. His heart just didn't seem to be in it anymore.

I remember a Raw around 2004 where the crowd was chanting USA during a tag match and Lawler pointing out it made no sense for them to do that considering the face team was comprised of Chris Benoit, William Regal, and Tajiri.

Tommaso Ciampa appeared on Impact AND NXT on the same night in 2015. Since both shows were taped well in advance and Impact was already on Destination America by this point, this didn't quite make the same headlines as Rick Rude appearing on Raw and Nitro on the same night in 1997. In fact I've never heard anyone mention it ever. I'm starting to think I may have dreamt the whole thing up.

There's a wrestler I broke in with at Monster Factory named "Upgrade" Mike Reed that quietly wrestled/was in the crowd on NXT/AEW at the same time at least once in 2020.

I remember at the end of the Dream Team vs. Million Dollar Team match at Survivor Series 90(most notable for The Undertaker's debut), Ted Dibiase pinned Bret Hart in the finals and Bret yelled "f***." It might've not been audible, but you could tell what he was saying by reading his lips.
I remember a segment on Smackdown where Eddie Guerrero was talking to Chris Benoit and was changing emotions(happy, sad, screaming) while Benoit just stood there the whole time silent.
Also, there was a segment (also on Smackdown) where they tried to give Billy Kidman personality by him telling jokes to Torrie Wilson. It fell flat.

Does anybody besides me remember at Backlash 2001 Rhyno tried to gore Raven through the shopping cart and missed, which resulted in the man beast plunging through the cart?
Also, weeks after Chris Jericho made his WWF debut, Rock said something about him wrestling in the other promotion against some guy named "Juventud." I thought that was chuckle worthy.

That weird Christmas segment with the Vaudevillain puppets where they go around trying to ruin Christmas for random WWE extras. And I believe Rhyno, is Santa as well (or someone that looks similar at least).

I feel like Booker T buying magic voodoo dust to throw at The Undertaker has been lost to history and I can't forget it ever This whole stupid storyline is burned into my memory. Like Booker T going to MAMA SANGRE to get "DIRT....FROM AN UNMAAHHHKED GRAAAVE" was like 20 minutes out of a whole Smackdown. I wonder if they filmed Booker T at the magic voodoo grave at the same time as JBL's border patrol thing, Smackdown was really into nighttime filming and really bizarre storylines in 2004. Also they photoshopped Undertaker to look more dead in the graphic for the match which I'm pretty sure they never did again:

It might've not been audible, but you could tell what he was saying by reading his lips. That was the first PPV I owned on VHS. I remember rewinding it and watching it over and over, thinking it was hilarious he said a bad word. I was 28 years old.

A few weeks into the Nexus storyline Wade Barrett missed an episode of Raw because in real life he was dealing with green card issues. I believe Drew McIntyre was as well. But in storyline "Wade was at WWE headquarters giving a list of his demands!" Wade was back the following week and this was never mentioned again.

MVP was hosting a party backstage and Zack Ryder was attempting to get in to no avail. Shiek shows up and MVP lets him in. Ryder says something like "he can get in but I can't?!" Shiek replies "HO HO HO, JABRONI! YOU KNOW IT!!! I legit LOL'D and never forgot it.

If I remember right ROH was also on Destination America during that time and Ciampa was also on that episode of ROH TV that day.
