ITT: wrestling segments that were so bad/cringe that your reaction

Reminder that this was almost certainly Vince's idea.

All the terrible shit you see on TV is there because Vince finds it legit entertaining and hilarious. He is leagues beyond pleb taste, he is worse than the lowest common denomnator that his product appeals to.
WWE never intentionally does bad/cringy comedy, Vince finds that stuff legitimately hilarious.
Like the example in your OP. Was not intended to be intentionally bad/corny/racist. To Vince it was the the height of entertainment gold, in a completely non ironic way.

I think this was the only time that a WWE crowd ever chanted "TNA".

The moment was that fucking bad. The crowd felt the need to chant for a far lesser rival company.

Ace Steel needs to get back out on the indies doing the Trump gimmick ASAP before Donald quits/dies/is impeached.
He'd get nuclear heat and thus get booked everywhere and make a bunch of money.
People will pay to watch "Donald Trump" to job to Mexican and Muslim wrestlers. There is money to be made there.

To this day I still don't know why this happened

The Brodus shit was so bad, I think I only actually watched it once then it got the fast forward.

It was still better than anything involving the shield though somehow.

>>2501157
They chanted it before, I even remember a Dixie Carter chant once

Na I'm serious. They made me quit watching for a few years.

don't know how he didn't tell them to fuck off the moment he was told he was getting a fat guy dancing gimmick. all you're doing is damaging your own brand.

I can't properly express how low my expectations and opinion of WWE is BUT even as low as they are I still couldn't believe that a multi-million dollar publicly traded entertainment company let this happen.

>>2501157
They chanted it in a Deanetty match too once

>>2501283
Why?

>Pic related was the last segment before WrestleMania

It was at this moment that I,unironically cringed and realized Vince is a senile old-hack who should just retire because he doesn't fucking know what he is doing

>>2501523
I remember someone on here once posted that the damn gimmick was his idea and that he actually rejected a more monster heel role for it.

I hope to fucking God that wasn't true.

It was so terrible, they referenced it about 15 years later because the memory was burned into the minds of all who watched it.

>>2501137

These are people's lives he's messing with. He's humiliating men and women alike for no reason other than he can? He's ruining their careers and reputations because it's funny? Does anyone remember Brodus Clay for how big and how much he could have been a dominating competitor? No, they remember him from dancing and being the fucking fuckasaurus. How can Vince do this to these people?

-That time Taker and Kane beat up the entire Wyatt family 4 on 2 literally 6 days before they were supposed to have a PPV match.
-The opening segment from RAW 998
-The segment where John Cena brought back The Authority for no good reason
-The Gobbledygooker

>>2503939
Wtf? Seth threatening to kill edge to make John bring back the authority was based.

>>2503134
I don't mind him doing things like this during house shows or lesser shows like 205 Live......but don't do them during Raw/SD or PPVs

NXT season 3 is a perfect example. There were TONS of crap segments but because far fewer people watched the show, none of it affected the main product shown on Raw/SD/PPVs at the time

I stand by Old Day being one of the worst things they've done in a long time. I can't even watch it back a second time. It was such a heat killer that the face team running in to break it up got almost zero pop from beating the Old Day up. Just embarrassing

>>2501283

Any of several segments featuring the Authority in 2016.

No one turns on a wrestling show and wants to see long talking segments about corporate politics with shrill middle aged women.

>>2501523
>>2501852
His explanation for this makes a kind of sense, around his debut there were a few other monster heels ruling the company and he felt that he would've gotten lost in the shuffle.

>>2504116
he doesn't deserve a good gimmick if he's that stupid.

>>2504157
His reasoning is solid: how's he supposed to get over as a monster heel in the same company as Hall of Pain Mark Henry and UFC Brock Lesnar?

>>2501126

This was fantastic, what the fuck is wrong with you

>>2502784
>pretty much no good reason
He hates him because JR's the GOAT announcer and Vince couldn't even keep up with the action when he was on commentary.

"AND--a, NICE MANUVER!!!"

It's pretty much the same reason he hates good wrestlers. He wanted to be a wrestler and couldn't hack it.

Just a few off the top of my head, and in no order. I'll try to post ones that haven't been posted.

anything with Hornswoggle is shit

>>2508546

Similar thing happened with Armando Alejandro Estrada

He was a heel manager with Umaga......but the crowd loved how he said his own name, and started saying his name along with him whenever he said it

Then one night as he was saying his name during a promo, the crowd started saying it again and he literally ended his promo right there with a disgusted look on his face, as if to say "Fuck you people; I don't want you saying my name with me"

I think he stopped saying his own name after that. I'm sure Vince had him do that because heel managers aren't supposed to have the crowd imitate their promo schtick

>>2508673
Estrada was so fucking great

>>2505752
>>2508546
This was it.
This was the fucking moment where I finally saw the fact that Vince hates anything that gets over with the crowd without his permission.....with my own two fucking eyes.
I mean don't get me wrong, I'm aware that we all already knew it. We all saw various examples of it over the years......one of the most glaring ones being Zack Ryder's blatant burial after he got himself over via the internet.
But the Fandango thing was next-level.
They captured lightning in a damn bottle. One of their wrestlers suddenly had a huge reason for their crowd to get behind him and give him big reactions.....a cheesy entrance theme that had the crowd singing along to it and having fun. And it wasn't even just a big thing among WWE fans, it was actually starting to go viral among the general public, and was starting to get mentioned by mainstream media. THE MAN'S FUCKING ENTRANCE THEME WAS RISING ON A GODDAMN BILLBOARD CHART.
And what do they do the very next week after it starts to blow up?
They intentionally have Lawler make it seem lame by constantly reminding everybody that it was getting to be a big deal. By having him actively encourage people to keep doing it.....making it seem even lamer.
And if that wasn't enough, they had Fandango destroy it by shitting on the crowd for not "doing it right", with a lame heel promo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7QQICZObZs

There has probably never been a clearer example of Vince intentionally killing something that got over without his knowledge/permission.

>>2501163
you're right. Look at the tears from those rednecks and you weren't even trying.

>>2501136
>>2501137
Didn't you guys even watch the video? This was going to be canned but Cena wanted Brodus to have a Mania moment so he pressured them into allowing it.

>>2508964
It was going to be cut for time. Still Vince's idea.

>>2505740
One of the many reasons I can never take Cole seriously

>>2505740

>>2510511

Heidenreich kidnapped Cole, took him to a dark room, pushed him up against a wall, went behind him and thrusted forward several times, suggesting that Cole was being raped

It's not Brodus being the Funkasaurus that's the problem

It's the fact that for that particular segment they got a bunch of black female dancers dressed up as stereotypical old black "mommas" just because his entrance theme says "somebody call my momma"
