Howdy BOD'ers! Taking this from the thread a few weeks back when we got another look at HBK's tremendous "Who's Your Daddy Montreal" promo, I was wondering if you guys had any personal favorites spots when it came to trolling crowds.
I'll throw this one up, even though it went a minute too long, the first line was just great and had me rolling.

Say 'What?' if you like to sleep with your sister!
ReplyDeleteThe Buckner line was tremendous.
ReplyDeleteWould Jim Ross' pipebomb speech and his reveal of the fake Diesel and Razor Ramon count as trolling?
ReplyDeleteIf not then my favorite would be when the Rock went heel on the Toronto Raw. http://youtu.be/9PglAZUbzVI <"That's where we live.. YAYY!!"
ReplyDeleteThose Mother-Canuckers deserved it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I never understood was, why did KANE do it? They take 6 months to build him up as the ultimate monster heel to challenge Taker... And on the night it finally happens, they book him to get a huge face pop? WTF???
ReplyDelete"Finally the Rock has come back to Toron....Toron...to run his mouth all over your candy asses!"
ReplyDeleteHow bout it?
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good point, not sure what they were thinking there. I guess they wanted to see Pete Rose be a victim to the Big Red Machine when he used to be a huge part of the Big Red Machine....
ReplyDeleteI was there for the Bret Hart enema/Pittsburgh promo. That one hurt.
ReplyDeleteTHREADJACK: Did anyone see this article on Sting by Bill Apter on WWE.com??
ReplyDeletehttp://www.wwe.com/classics/wcw/behind-the-paint-of-sports-entertainment-icon-sting-26181648
With an ass-kissing article like that, I'm guessing that Sting in the WWE is pretty much a done deal...
Because Russo was booking. That is why.
ReplyDeleteIs that Stephanie McMahon in the crowd standing up clapping at 1:02?
ReplyDelete"THAT'S PETE ROSE!"
ReplyDeleteI mean, really, that's the reason, and they were hoping for mainstream attention that would get the joke.
ReplyDeleteI remember watching the news the night of the show (I was in Boston) and they showed a clip, but there was no mention of Kane as the Big Red Machine.
"I'm gonna whip out my Johnson, and piss in this hellhole!"
ReplyDeleteRIP Brian. You were awesome.
Ah, back when you could do Mania in Boston. Too bad they're not SAWFT enough for domed football stadiums.
ReplyDeleteGood eye! Probably is, given that Linda is sitting in front of her.
ReplyDelete"We got a mom in the front row that taught her daughter how to suck dick." - Dudley's
ReplyDeleteAndy Kaufman's early Memphis stuff.
I also liked the HUGE f'n deal they made about Rock being on Raw, when he was a Smackdown draft pick. I liked the brand extention/split when they were serious about it.
ReplyDeleteBut it made more sense for UT to tombstone Pete. I was there at WM 14 live and that was some pop.
ReplyDeleteQuote that one all the time, haha. "YAY, that's where WE live...shut up!"
ReplyDeleteI'll never stop loving Pete's "how 'bout it?" comment. Hysterically assholic and sleazy as Hell.
ReplyDeleteAmazing thing is that this was Pete Rose's first time on wrestling tv and he instantly "got it". He could had been one of the greatest heel managers had he stuck around.
ReplyDeleteI preferred his rock performance in Sacramento.
ReplyDelete"But I'll be sure to come back when the Lakers beat the Kings in May!"
When Bryan came out on RAW the night after winning the WWE title at Night of Champions only to be stripped of the title....
ReplyDeletewait, is the Bryan complaining thing still cool?
Oh, that was hilarious. The fans' immediate explosion of boos and Rock's shit eating grin as he sang it were perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat was awesome too. Of course, the Kings haven't played in May for over a decade now, so it wouldn't work anymore.
ReplyDeleteWanna bet on that?
ReplyDeleteAt that time, I'm pretty sure Kane didn't take shit from anybody
ReplyDeleteThis, oh this. Just the line I thought of when I saw this topic.
ReplyDeleteSMART MARKS!
ReplyDeleteA-Rod's a spotlight whore. Money isn't the issue.
ReplyDeleteNo need to heavy stip it up...just let it blow off the Bryan-Authority angle. Hell, it's Triple H and it's been the primary angle of the programming since Summerslam, so they can even put it on last if they want to. Then I'd give Batista a face title run with Bryan still playing the top face, which sets up a slow burn of Batista getting jealous that the fans treat Bryan as the top guy, he turns heel, new bad guy for Bryan to work with in a program people would actually care about.
ReplyDeleteI think they just really didn't appreciate how over he was until the Rumble, and now they don't exactly know what they're going to do going forward. I pretty much believe the report that came out last week (?) that they don't have anything in stone for Wrestlemania yet because they want to keep everything fluid at this point.
ReplyDeleteWhen Jericho trolled all of us!
ReplyDeleteThat's true. But I'm pretty sure Vince and Co. are still kinda wary about the Wrestling-PED connection.
ReplyDeleteYup. Him pretending to be too choked up to speak was friggin' brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnyone mention Mark Henry's fake retirement this past year?
ReplyDeleteSmmmaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttt maaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkssssssss....fucking Pillman was the best
ReplyDeleteKane had been doing a thing where he randomly came out and attacked people in the build to the match.
ReplyDeleteI'll always remember Kurt Angle's line about Canada: "You can't have barbecues, because you might get attacked by a moose."
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, Angle was pretty good with the trolling. When he told Rey, "sorry kid, you must be this tall to fight Kurt Angle", I lost it.
Oh, and can we take pretty much everything that Trips has said about Bryan since "Summerslam" as one gigantic trolling?
ReplyDeleteThe original DX was pretty awesome at it. Kurt Angle, Edge, & Christian excelled at it too.
ReplyDeleteI still think his "interview" with the Rock before No Mercy 2000 was one of the funniest things ever.
ReplyDelete"If I could make anyone in history tap out it would be Jesus and you people would still cheer me"
ReplyDelete"(insert city name here) is filled with so many losers, it's no wonder (insert city team here) can't win a championship!".
ReplyDeleteEither bring Rose back, or get somebody on the roster to end every sentence with that.
ReplyDeleteI nominate Barrett.
Man, that Hollywood theme was completely badass.
ReplyDeleteHHH a few weeks ago:"Awww, did someone not get what they wanted?
ReplyDeleteTed DiBiase kicking that basketball away from the one kid who was on his way to an easy $100.
ReplyDeletemaking this even better is Daivaris "who'd he ever beat?"
ReplyDeleteThe Dudleys in ECW, once they truly united with Gertner.
ReplyDeleteThreadjack:
ReplyDeleteSyracuse is tied against Boston College in Basketball with less than a minute left. Syracuse is 25-0 and BC is 6-19
Fucking nail biter!
ReplyDeleteRebound!
ReplyDeleteLucky as fuck they got the offensive rebound.
ReplyDeleteCollege basketball: Either you're winning by 30, or you're close to losing.
ReplyDeleteGirls High School Basketball: Either it's 100-10, or your team sucks. ;)
Women's Basketball is the least competitive sport there is. Its always a blowout every game
ReplyDeleteHoly shit, yeah. Wouldn't be surprised to see this hit overtime.
ReplyDeleteA shame this isn't happening as a 1-16 match in the tourney.
ReplyDeleteYup...
ReplyDeleteGive them this: NCAA Women have had a 16 beats 1 game... Harvard beat Stanford 71-67 in 1998.
ReplyDeleteBC subs in Doug Flutie, who hits one from 80 feet at the buzzer to win.
ReplyDeleteFlutie wouldn't make the practice squad in basketball.
ReplyDeleteToo short. ;)
Funny you mention that.
ReplyDeleteMy uncle played baseball for BC and graduated the year before Fluite arrived. He went back to school the next year and played a pickup game of basketball against him and said that he was really, really good
CM Punk kicks Jeff Hardy out of WWE, comes out the following week to his music and face paint.
ReplyDeleteIt still looks like Batista-Orton to me. At the very least it should all be decided by Monday. Just pick a direction and go with it. They have botched things so much that it's going to be hard to get momentum going into WM
ReplyDeleteThat was fucking brilliant.
ReplyDeleteKeep Flutie away! Keep him away!
ReplyDeleteHe will be the team place kicker.
ReplyDeleteBiggest margin of victory in overtime history coming up?
ReplyDeleteThat Punk/Jeff feud was friggin' amazing, shame that it's kind of gotten lost and forgotten along with all of the other pre-"Pipebomb" stuff.
ReplyDeleteEven the week before that, when he beat Jeff, and then ruined Jeff's good-bye to the audience by smashing in the back of the head with the belt. Hitting people with the belt has gotten so passe', but that particular moment was so well done and seemed to carry so much more weight.
BC BOMBING it in OT...
ReplyDeleteOnly if it comes from BC. SU hasn't been able to buy a bucket since the start of the second half.
ReplyDeleteThat foul they just called on BC was horseshit
ReplyDeleteThe Jug Band!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it'll be that hard at all. The Wyatts and The Shield (especially Reigns) are red fucking hot, Bryan has at least two possible matches that would go over (title match or Triple H), you've got Taker coming back, and I think Batista-Orton could do well so long as a) they have Bryan directly feuding with Triple H at the same time and, b) Batista starts acting like a full bore face and stops palling around with Trips.
ReplyDeleteI just feel like, you want to seal the guy as the biggest deal possible, you do it on the biggest stage possible. And every month it continues, the Lugering risk increases, so just do it.
ReplyDeleteIt's possible, but I also think most of the crowd still wants to see Bryan give Triple H his comeuppance, and really, it's Trips that Bryan has been feuding with since Summerslam. So if they make that an explicit feud with Trips personalizing it and *wanting* to beat Bryan himself once and for all, I don't think it's going to make the crowd grow tired of Bryan and his chase for the title.
ReplyDeleteSo do a 20th anniversary homage to Bret's WM X journey and combine it into a delicious championship-winning peanut butter and jelly sandwich of YES in the Superdome, lol.
ReplyDeleteThe solution is to pull a Tommy Dreamerand take them both.
ReplyDeleteBut isn't that what you'd want the smarks to think to get them to buy EC?
ReplyDeleteI'll only accept that if he thrusts in time to the yes chants.
ReplyDeleteAnd Steph must have a huge orgasm, and call Bryan the best since Macho Man
