favorite running gag

hey keithster, whats your favorite wrestling running gag/meme?
- making fun of Russo (...on a pole etc)
- bret hart's antics "(he told me with tears in his eyes")
- hogan's tales of lies & exaggerations
- flair still living like it's 1986
- cluelessness of TNA/Dixie
- Cornette being Cornette
- Sunny's arrests
???? tell us pls! TIA

I have one guy who e-mails me literally every time TNA does something stupid, so that one's getting a little tiresome.

Probably I'd say Hogan's lies, because it's always fun to write you own Hogan promos and build the exaggerations on top of each other as you go along.  Plus nothing you say can be as ridiculous as the shit he's said for real.

  1. I feel we dont make enough Sunny or Benoit jokes. I think enough time has passed where Benoit is fair game. Lets work on that.

  2. When was murdering a child not funny?

  3. I'll always throw that in when discussing salacious rumours.

  4. The webcomic 1/0 had literally the best running gag of all time.

  5. It's been hilarious since God trolled Abraham!

  6. I personally loved the Bret Hart bit but it got way overused in a short period of time.

    I was always a fan of "Sting is wearing [Color] facepaint; could this mean an alliance with [Whatever]?" It was synonymous with the "Tune into Nitro to found out" bit but still made me laugh.

    Prrof that juvenile things can still be funny, I found Scott's "IN BED!" running gag during the Steiner/HHH Rumble 2003 recap to be hilarious.

  9. I figured it was anything Jesse Baker says.

  10. I love it when commentators have to lie about what is happening. For example, The Rock got a "mixed reaction" at WM18 against Hulk Hogan.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Holy shit, somebody besides me remembers 1/0!

    ReplyDelete
  12. The Bret Hart 4/10 one is great. On Wikipedia under Special Episodes of RAW, they have the rating for each episode. For Bret Hart appreciation night, the rating is 4/10. That cracked me up.

  13. RISE ABOVE (insert malady of the day here)

    ReplyDelete
  14. I personally am a fan of MANLY BLADEJOBS and MANLY CHAIRSHOTS and taking bumps LIKE A MAN!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I always love reading the "hot pokers up the ass" which later turned into "how much would shane mcmahon would pay to get scott to shut up"

    ReplyDelete
  16. .........keithster?

    ReplyDelete
  17. My non wrestling fan friend always turns to me and yells THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO TAP OUT If we hear the word Benoit.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yeah... there's bad stuff in the big leagues today, but usually not enough to warrant the hot pokers. Getting paid off by HHH (with Shane gone) would work WAY better at present.

  19. Kevin Nash (does everyday act), tears quad.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Never mind that shit, here comes MONGO!

  21. Stevie Richards is Benoit was funny, till I met Stevie and found out he was a really nice guy who doesn't deserve to be mixed up in a meme involving him. Plus I liked him since ECW in 1995, so who will I claim won at WMXX now? Bob Holly? Maybe, based on the GAB99 chyron gaffe, Brian Knobs?

    ReplyDelete
  22. If we can have 9/11 jokes by now...

    ReplyDelete
  23. The jokes around Shawn Michaels being born again.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Make it a straight-up TAG TEAM MATCH!

    ReplyDelete
  25. How about Jericho's streak of **** match claims in 2002?

    ReplyDelete
  26. "This show is going down faster than Missy Hyatt at a sex addict convention"
    "Aces and 0.8's"
    "Jericho/Nova invented..."
    "Did you hear Demolition lost the tag team titles?"
    "It's Steve DiSalvo!"

    ReplyDelete
  27. The S.M.U.R.F. rating, yeah!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I just a hogan tweet a couple days ago where he was seriously claiming "Andrea" weighed 700 lbs. So yeah the hogan one is not only over the top, its real!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Aces and 0.8's was great

    ReplyDelete
  30. That's the best example you can think of? Yes , the crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Hogan but Rock got cheers, especially toward the end.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Yes that is the best example I can think of, because that was one of the biggest crowd reactions I have ever seen. I remember Rock getting booed every single time he had any offensive at all. Infact, Rock even referenced this in his heel turn the next year. Yes he got cheered at the end when he shook hands with hogan and took on the NWO, but during the match it was non stop boos while the commentators kept saying "mixed reaction". I found that hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Holy cow. I smell the fellow old-schooler all over those last two!!!

    ReplyDelete
  33. This one is my favorite

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wrestling needs a Chuck Norris. The locker seems to say it's Meng/Haku, but I think Steve Blackman is way funnier.

    God created the heavens and the Earth in 6 days. On the seventh day he rested because Steve Blackman gave him permission to do so.

    ReplyDelete
  35. The fastest man on the planet is the man who has just been kicked by Steve Blackman.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Just let out an audible laugh reading that while alone in a panda express on my lunch break.

    ReplyDelete
  37. "I love shoot comments that aren't supposed to be shoot comments" Always gets me.

    This next one never caught on, but someone writing in and suggesting that Booker T's finishing move be renamed the ask kick is so racist and hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Two great ones from this board.....the Heenan/Monsoon dialogues and Tamina Snuka being the Superfly's daughter (in case you hadn't heard)

    ReplyDelete
  39. For me, on-screen at least, Sting getting turned on by his tag team partners left and right cracks me the fuck up. It's my favorite pro wrestling running gag and hopes it continues in TNA with Joe or Magnus soon.
