Razor Ramon & Savio Vega defeated Owen Hart & Yokozuna to win the tag team titles on RAW 1995. Razor pinned Owen Hart, who wasn't the legal man, so the match had to be restarted.

Leslie Neilsen and George Kennedy searching for the undertaker before the undertaker v undertaker match.
Not sure how much they were paid but to be fair to Neilsen he facial expressions were great in front of the live crowd

Some Mick Foley ones..
I remember he gave Al Snow a new mannequin head and he said something to the effect "only a true friend would give another head."
I also remember there was a segment with a bunch of divas(or non-WWF supermodels) and at the end of the segment they talked about what a hunk he was while he was scratching his ass.
During his Rock n' Sock phase, I remember he told Kevin Kelley to "know his mouth and shut his role."
I non-Mick Foley one, Al Snow having a hardcore match....with himself. I believe he even did a sumersault through a table.

Viscera as the Evil Pimp for a week I VIVIDLY remember this Godfather lost a match to Vis so he had to give up the Hoes who came to the ring with him The next week Viscera came out for a match and brought out the Hoes looking disheveled and distressed Next time we saw Godfather he had a DIFFERENT set of Hoes bring him to the ring and it's back to being fun and games BUT they never addressed what happened to those PREVIOUS Hoes! Did they get rescued some how? Are they still chained up in Viscera's basement?!? Oh I remember this...mostly for the pre-match promos. I don't remember Vis taking the hoes back with him; in fact, when they were checking on Godfather after the match didn't he attack one? I do remember Vis and his own hoes, which I thought were different, homely looking women. It was forgotten soon after either way. This is another example, BTW, of something with a promo I can still recite to this day. ("GODFATHER! I know Mideon said he likes farm animals, but (mic goes out). I LIKE HOES!"

I wouldn't say it was weird, but it was certainly was never talked about, but I remember after Test said in an interview that him and Stephanie decided to just be friends, they showed a GTV clip of them leaving a restaurant after a date kissing, this lead to Test's romance angle with her, which was his most successful part of his career. It was also one of the few times GTV was used to further an angle as oppose to useless toilet humor(such as Mark Henry taking a crap or Al Snow eating a booger). I feel like if there were more segments like this for GTV, it could've been a major angle for the Attitude Era where it would tie all the storylines together when it was revealed that some sick creep was videotapping the WWF's roster private moments, using it against them, and trying to ruin their lives. Sadly, it keep going on forever, but there was no conclusion to it.
I remember a segment where Albert was commenting on the "shave your back" chants he was getting.
Triple H mispronouncing single by saying "singus".
Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko ending a match on Nitro by being COUNTED IN after one of them suplexing the other off the top rope. This is probably the only time I saw that ending.
Triple H's and Kevin Nash's never-ending brawl in 2003.
Jimmy Snuka randomly coming out at Wrestlemania V to promote his return.
The forgettable tag team of Johnny Nitro and Kenny Dykstra.
Pat Patterson giving Rikishi a stinkface with his staind underwear.
And finally(for now at least) The Hart Foundation attacking a guy they thought was Steve Austin, stopped for a minute to realize they got the wrong guy.....and then continued their beat down!

Big Bossman losing the "Big" in his name in 2001-02, and for a time dressing like Bubba Rogers. I keep forgetting that whole run of his ever happened. Wasn't he also a Royal Rumble participant?

OK I am coming over from the Hogan 80s promo to mention this:
Does anyone else remember, after the Nov '89 SNME, Hogan doing an Event Center promo wearing the broken WWF title...only to tell Mr. Perfect that it doesn't matter, upon which he pulls out another belt?

Not sure how much they were paid but to be fair to Neilsen he facial expressions were great in front of the live crowd According to Bruce Prichard it was supposed to be just Leslie hired for the show but George was going through a rough point and Leslie asked Vince McMahon if he could be a part of the show. Leslie told Vince that he would even be willing to pay him to appear but I guess Vince was the one who paid him.

That strange spell in 2019 when WWE didn't want matches running through commercials anymore post-WM. There was, maybe, 3 months in which we would have random restarts, pauses or, most bizarrely, more 2/3 count-fall matches than all of WWE's history combined. No one talks about it anymore. Understandably. I remember the experiment that they did a few years ago where you could actually watch the content that was happening live during commercial breaks on WWE.com. It was actually an interesting idea that predated AEW's picture in picture, and there was actually some interesting stuff that happened during the breaks. Unfortunately, it didn't last very long. Heck, how about Monday Night Raw video previews on WWF.com hosted by Lucas.

Hey did anybody hear the rumor that Jerry Springer would make an appearance at Summerslam 1998? I could've sworn I read it somewhere, but I forgot the details of what he would do if he appeared there(host a segment, do a cameo, etc etc).

What was really odd about Snuka coming out was that it was after the ring intros of Bravo and Garvin. They’re in the ring, Snuka is introduced. Walks down. Poses. Then just up and leaves. It was Lacey Evans 30 years earlier.

I found all kind of weird random nuggets when I rewatched the 1st 6 months of SD 2002 during the beginning of the Pandemic. The 1st ones that come to mind are Test and Rev. Devon, yes, Rev. Devon hold pinfall victories over Triple H. Also Triple H showed up wearing a white Triple H merch shirt for all of one week. It looked REALLY weird on him.

Two other bits I liked from 2002:
Goldust as Darth Vader addressing The Big Show. "Did the nWo ever tell you what happened to your father?" Show looks hurt. "Hey man, don't you know my fathers dead?" (continuity laugh) "No, I am your father." Goldust wallop Show with a kids toy lightsabre and turns right into Kevin Nash who has ninja'd himself in the room. Nash - Yeah and I'm yer Daddy! Nash punches Goldust. I laughed myself hoarse. It's all in the timing...
Another was William Regal's Hulkamania promo.
Oh and JR's line - "Chris Benoit just became the NEW Intercontinental CHAMPIONSHIP!"

Here's another one, and I was there live for it. At Wrestlemania XX, there was a legends segment with "Mean Gene" Okerland and Bobby Heenan looking like they were just making out, and then out came Moolah and Mae Young, implying they were getting freaky dicky with each other.
Another random moment I remember is Big Bossman coming out to "hard times" in the Attitude Era! This was the night after King of The Ring where it looked like he was booted from The Corporate Ministry and then about to turn face by confronting them and then SWERVE!!! he reunites with them.
