I really enjoyed this parody and it felt timely at the time:

Although I still think this was the single best PPV ad they've ever done, I'm sure it helped a lot that they made this in 2005 and were referencing something from 1976. It's when he tries to reference something that's not more than 20 years old that Vince runs into problems.

Also, hate him or not I think the Kevin Federline stuff was great. The timing was perfect. If it happened even a year later it probably would have had no impact but in late 06/early 07 he and Britney were absolutely everywhere. They were basically the Kim and Kanye of that era in terms of tabloid attention. Federline was hated by everyone. Luckily or smartly, the Raw he first appeared was in LA and Cena got a massive pop for giving him the FU and the clip was all over E News, Entertainment Tonight and all those kind of shows that week.

Using Tatu as Victoria's entrance theme, if that counts.

I really enjoyed this parody and it felt timely at the time: It was a rare instance of WWE making a dig at how racist others were being and being completely bang on about it

Everything they have done with Bad Bunny I knew he was popular but I didn't realize quite how much until this past week or two when he and Kendrick Lamar both released new albums. For perspective, this was Kendrick's first album in 5 years and arguably one of the most anticipated albums in a long time. Bad Bunny's album was completely in Spanish and still sold comparably in the US to Kendrick (286,000 first week sales v 272,000). And apparently he was the number one most streamed music artist in the world in 2020 and 2021 ahead of your Drake/Justin Bieber/Taylor Swifts.

Inserting Stephen Amell into the Neville vs. Stardust & Bad News Barrett feud. Not only was Amell a big wrestling fan, his show “Arrow” was at the height of its popularity.

I really enjoyed this parody and it felt timely at the time: Yep. Rare example of WWE actually being on the right side of mocking a “controversy” and being timely. Might need to frame it when you consider how they miss both marks so frequently.

Frank Drebin hunts for the Undertaker at Summerslam '94. The 3rd Naked Gun film came out that year, & Nielsen played the part superbly.
