One of the funniest ideas that never made TV:

Shortly after Ken Patera’s prison stay in the 80’s WWF had him scheduled to participate in a sort of round table discussion with Bobby Heenan and several other wrestlers.

Heenan wanted to offer some pastries to Patera while saying,
“Would you like some, ‘Sticky Buns’…I mean…Would you like some sticky buns?”

Vince gave it the axe – a little too raunchy for the then family-oriented WWF programming.

I love the first one on this. He slips on the apron and turns around and starts yelling at the crowd.

I don't think the quad tear is funny. If i tore both of them, i'd still be lying there.

One of the Saturday Night Main Events featured The Hart Foundation (after a recent face turn) against Demolition. During the opening, Brett said of Demolition, "Reminds me of Bozo The Clown and The Tin Man, managed by Charlie Chan."

One time in WCW (Mid Atlantic), the Road Warriors were in a feud with the Russians (Ivan K, Nikita K, and "Crusher Krushev" lol) and Hawk yelled, "3 things you gotta be to be the Russians...first, you gotta be ugly, second, you gotta be BALD, and third, you gotta have a big yellow streak down your back..."

When Tony Atlas made his debut as Samba Simba, Piper totally no-sold it: "That's Tony Atlas. come on!" Vince tried to cover it saying, "Perhaps he's gotten in touch with his roots," which was even funnier. No matter what else he does, I'll always love Piper for that one.

Contrast that with Jim Ross overselling The Midnight Rider, whom even three year olds with A.D.D. knew was Dusty Rhodes...during one of Rider's brutal beat-downs of Tully Blanchard, Ross yelled, "The Midnight Rider looks familiar, but I just can't place him!" hahahahahahahaha

As if anyone could mistake Tony Atlas back then.

Kind of like “The Machines” tag team.

The “Giant Machine” looked like Andre, moved like Andre, and sounded like Andre – yet the fact that he wore a mask was supposed to make his identity a mystery.

Jesse on Hogan was pretty good esp. around WM5 with the hogan, savage, elizabeth storyline.

eg.

Jesse: its Lust Hogan!

Gorrilla: Hulk is his name.

Jesse: Lust!

lol

WM III:

Gorilla: Take a look at the back of the cranium on the Animal (George Steele).

Jesse: It’s disgusting; I prefer not to look at it.

On a side note, I don’t think Piper ever quite cared for Atlas due to something Tony did back when Vince Jr. took over the company from his Dad.

During a Xmas Raw Kane was in the back with a Santa hat on and Lawler yells "He looks like some sort of Christmas creature!"

Those of you who dont know - Kane was known as the Christmas creature years ago in the minor feds!

This is stupid, but when nikolai volkoff came back in the mid 90's as Ted Dibiase's servant he had cent signs on his trunks instead of dollar signs.

I liked it when Uncle Elmer got married in the ring back in late 1985 on saturday nights main event and Piper came out and carved all the hillbillies. That was classic.

Don't wanna sound gay here. But I thought it was hysterical when opponents used to pull Flairs trunks down so everyone could see his white ass. I don't know why they stopped doing it because that was so funny!!!

lmao.. i remember that shit $:-\$

Piper is classic. Any Piper's Pit from the eighties is classic. I love the one where he and Bob Orton give the Heiti Kid a mohawk to mimick Mr.T.

Ha-haaaaaaaaaaa!!!
I remember sitting in my parent's living room as a kid watching that first one.
I think they aired it on Superstars and Prime Time Wrestling.

As for the second one…
I think I’m gonna start doing all of my weekly shopping wearing my old ring gear.

In the old Mid-Atlantic, Boogie Woogie Man Jimmy Valiant lost a lose leaves town match to Kabuki. He comes back as Charlie Brown and they did these segments with Jimmy in jail sounding all down and out, but his friend Charlie Brown was going to take care of things....the best part was that Valiant had a very long beard and Charlie's mask only came down to his upper lip, with the beard sticking out. Classic stuff.
