I'm pretty sure it was in their Iron Man match at Judgement Day 2000, but does anybody besides me remember Triple H and The Rock using the other one's finishers on one another? I believe it was on top of the commentators table. I remember that happening but I recall it happening to the leadup to the match, not the match itself. I’ve never seen the match but I distinctly remember Triple H hitting Rock with the Rock Bottom.

I remember The Rock doing the Pedigree on Triple H on the announcer's table in the Judgment Day 2000 Ironman match (I haven't seen it in forever, and ironically it's one of my favorite matches not just from 2000, but top 5 level). It was right after The Game had choked him out with the Sleeper hold and I believe it evened up the score. Correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't seen that match in eons. I think Trips performed the The Rock Bottom on him during the build up phase of that match, which is why The Great One used the Pedigree to humiliate Trips.

It led to a Wrestlemania match so it’s not that minor, but . . . It’s amazing to me that Gorilla Monsoon never really did angles once he retired and became an announcer. And one of the like two times he did it was for a Heenan/Red Rooster/Brooklyn Brawler feud of all things.

To add to this thread, does anybody but me remember Savio Vega sporting a haircut with his name on the back of his head? I think it was at an In Your House PPV.

anyone remember when umaga briefly turned face I do. It was for two weeks headed into Summerslam. He then turned back heel by attacking Jeff Hardy. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't there a match in early 90s WCW where one of it's midcard titles was on the line for like only the first 10 minutes of the match? I could be making this up, it's all a blur to me.

Yep, Rock pedigreed Triple H on the announce table then rolled back into the ring resulting in Trips getting counted out to give the Rock a fall. Oddly enough in the build up they clarified that pins, submissions, count outs and DQs would all count as falls. And we did get all of them. Triple H sacrificed a fall to bust The Rock open with a chair and then made him pass out in a sleeper hold as you said. Which iirc put him two falls up. Rock pulled it back with the count out, then hit the People's Elbow to level it before DX interfered and the Undertaker returned resulting in a whole clusterf*** which resulted in Triple H winning the last fall and the match via DQ.

That weird feud in late 2010 where Edge who as FACE, kidnapped Paul Bearer from Kane who was HEEL and kept trolling Kane with fake Paul Bearer dummies. And then Kane cut a babyface like emotional promo begging Edge to stop and looking back, i’m still annoyed about this eleven years later

That weird period from January to March 2003, when Vince McMahon was getting cheered on Raw and booed on Smackdown.

I could be making this up, it's all a blur to me. The TV title, yeah. That apparently went back as a way to put more heat on the heel champion and have him get beat but keep the belt. He can brag about being the champ while everyone knows he got beat and it's only a matter of time. I was personally never crazy about it.

Let's see if I can remember some more from mid-2000's WWE:
Rene Dupree scouting Tyson Tomko as a potential tag team partner, only to get injured. Then they stuck Tomko in a team with Snitsky, only to later release him and move Snitsky into a team with Goldust, which ended because Goldust got fired for no-showing Raw. The he had three appearances on Raw for the rest of that year (losing a 10 man tag with Eugene, Duggan, Venis and Viscera to The Spirit Squad, getting squashed by Umaga, and being in a big battle royal with the entire Raw roster), before being repackaged as bad-teeth-body-odor Snitsky on ECW.
Kristal Marshall interviewing Ashley Massaro on Smackdown, Ashley said something about Kristal losing the Diva Search and Kristal suddenly got pissed off and went, "I finished fourth, BITCH" and that was her heel turn.
Mr. Kennedy randomly showing up while injured, for a segment with Palmer Cannon, Paul Burchill, The Boogeyman and the Juniors (Super Porky FTW) to say his last name.
One that is absolutely on brand for ME to remember lol: on the Smackdown before Cyber Sunday 2006, Teddy Long assigned Batista to protect King Booker, because there were rumors that Raw and ECW guys were going to try and attack him. Most of the show had the two of them and Sharmell locked in a room together. During one segment, Sharmell, asks if she can go "powder her nose". Booker doesn't get it at first, then suddenly goes "OH! OH!" Batista never does let her go, but then they leave the building in the next segment with them. This actually may have been the same Smackdown with the Jimmy Wang Yang promo I mentioned months ago.
La Resistance (Dupree and Grenier, I believe) reuniting for one night on ECW, then Dupree got suspended for drugs, which ended the experiment. Grenier later did dark matches before Smackdown with Maryse as his manager, before being released.
Rob Conway having a match with Jeff Hardy on Raw, then Vince firing him afterwards. All of those La Resistance moments were in 2007 and all three guys were gone by the summer.
Edge referring to Cade and Murdoch as the "Redneck Whirling Dirvish".
Similar to the Sharmell one, another one that of course I remember: The Beautiful People doing an interview on Impact, Lacey Von Erich is dancing around. Velvet cuts her promo, then Lacey jumps in and cuts her off, yelling "I HAVE TO PEE!" then runs off. Borash, Madison and Velvet looked flabbergasted lol later in the night, she went to Hulk Hogan backstage and said she had to show him something, turns out that while she was in the bathroom, she filmed Desmond Wolfe and his valet (I don't remember her name) plotting to get Abyss arrested for battery.

The Giant smoking cigarettes on his way to the ring and sometime even during matches. I thought it was the coolest and funniest thing ever but any time I bring it up to family or friends that watch wrestling they have recollection of it whatsoever. Looking back between the Smoking Giant, "Last Call" Scott Hall, and Sad Uninterested I don't want to be here Bret Hart NWO Hollywood was really made up of a lot of lazy slugs with a lot of problems.

The only thing I remember about the smoking Giant thing was him squashing Disco Inferno in 10 seconds on Nitro after Disco said to him "Hey you better cut down on those things they'll stunt your growth." Which if I recall was the last time Giant smoked on camera, so I like to believe that entire character trait was brought into in existence just for that lame joke as the pay off.

1. A promo from somewhere around '88 on what I believe was an episode of WCW. Sting, Michael Hayes, and JYD I believe had just beaten some jobbers in a 6 man tag. Sting does this completely ape shit off the rails promo like he just drank about 45 cups of coffee while Hayes and JYD are corpsing. Was hilarious but I've never been able to find it again.
2. Before WCW settled on "Where the big boys play", it seemed like Schiavone and Heenan were constantly throwing out random taglines during broadcasts, as if there was a contest for who could come up with the best tagline. There were 4-5 different ones that they repeated more than once, but some of them were like:
"WCW: What the world is watching NOW." "WCW: Where the stars are." "WCW coming alive in '95."
