Watch rumble 93(?) It's the one with razor vs. bret for the title.
Anyway, it has michaels vs jannety for the ic belt and jannety rams his
right shoulder into the ringpost (which was supposed to be a major
turning point in the match) but instead holds his left shoulder, the
opposite one which was hit, and acts for the rest of the match as if
that was the injured one. Anyone else remember this? (I'm not sure of
the exact shoulder rammed, just know that he was holding the opposite
one)

How about the Saturday Nite's Main Event tag team title match about 8 years
ago between the champions Demolition and challengers The Rockers. This
was around when Crush first started at ringside for Ax and Smash.
The Rockers had done their signature double flying fist off the top
rope to either Ax or Smash (I can't remember which), with the other
knocked outside the ring. Apparently, Crush was supposed to make the
save, because McMahon frantically says "One...Two...WHERE'S CRUSH!!!"
Then Crush does come to make the save, and McMahon says
"Oh, OK, Crush in to make the save" a bit more calmly. A tad
embarrassing I think for Vinnie Mac.....

It wasn't embarassing per se; it was just, shall we say, truthful. People were
pretty much getting sick of Hogan, even back in '92.

Pretty much correct; up until New Year's 1992 rolled around, Sid was a face. He
had just "saved" Savage and Elizabeth from a snake attack, and pretty much faced
Jake Roberts for the rest of 1991. It changed when RR92 came about.

I'm assuming you're talking about RR92. What happened was Sid went over to Hulk
Hogan as Hulk was beating up on Ric Flair. Sid threw Hulk out and the crowd went
nuts. Absolutely got a huge pop from the crowd for Sid. Then Hulk tried to pull
Sid out, but Ric Flair dumped him out of the ring. Afterwards, Sid and Hulk were
doing their arguing thing. Sid was just playing to the crowd, egging them on, as
you said. He even pointed out a sign in the crowd: "HULK WHO?"
During the post-match interview with Gene Okerlund, you hear Gene say to someone
offstage, "Put that cigarette out!" It is believed Gene said that as he saw Hulk
enter the backstage area as Hulk flipped the bird to the crowd.

The "audio switcheroo" first took place on a Fox SNME special that aired shortly
after RR92. It subsequently aired on the rest of the WWF's programming leading
up to WM8.

A new era of wrestling on television debuted when WWF Monday Night Raw premiered
in January 1993 and when WCW Monday Nitro followed suit 2 1/2 years later. The
rest, as they say, is indeed history.

> Most embarrassing wrestling moment?
Well....I'm not sure of the year....
But it was on one of the WWF's "Sat. Night Main Event" shows..
Apparently, some thing happened to Elizabeth....
(I forget exactly what...)
But...she was taken into the dressing room.....
She was laid out on a table or bed or something....
They came back from commercial....
Hogan was by her side...very calm....waiting....
All of a sudden...he realised they were back live!!!
And Hulk starts screaming & crying!!
"OH MY GOD!! LIZ! LIZ!"
(Or something to that effect...)
They sure blew it.
Anyone else remember this..?
Peace,

I was just thinking how much wrestling has changed over the past 5
years. In those old days, a wrestling organization would have promoted
a guy like Rocky Maivia as a face and while the crowds wouldn't go
crazy, he would be cheered for the most part. Now the crowds are more
independent and when an organization realizes that the crowds aren't
behind a certain wrestler, they will use it as the reason he turns
heel - Furnas and LaFon, Rocky, Hogan using it as the reason he
started the NWO.
One of the most embarrassing moments I remember was when they were
building up a feud between Sid and Hogan for WM8. Correct me if I'm
wrong, but I remember that the WWF sort of created a tension between
the two where they didn't set up from the start that Sid was
automatically going to be the heel like every other Hogan opponent was
at the time (aside from Hogan vs. Warrior). When the two were staring
each other down outside the ring after some screwjob, where I think
Hogan "accidently" pulled Sid over the top rope, the crowd at the
Royal Rumble was chanting "Sid, Sid, Sid." To Sid's credit, he heard
the chants, smiled and egged the crowd on. I believe Hogan, also to
his credit, looked around with a phony kind of stunned look (inside he
may have been stunned, but at least he didn't start shaking his fists
and looking to the crowd like yeah, keep chanting for me!).
This was a great moment because it was one of the few crowd
reactions where the fans' strings weren't being worked. They made the
choice to support Sid. It was also one of the first signs on a PPV
that people were starting to get tired of Hogan. The embarrassing
moment that really ruined the excitement of seeing a crowd pick its
own heroes and villains came when the taped "Superstars", "Wrestling
Challenge", etc. shows aired next week and they played the tape of the
Rumble with the chants of "Sid" chants dubbed over and replaced by
"Hogan" chants to fit in with the Sid turning on Hogan angle. It's
hard to imagine something like that was only about 5 years ago when
you see what's happening every Monday night on Raw and Nitro.

I wouldn't say this is embarrasing but looks dead stupid. At
WrestleMania 13 during the Bret vs Austin match when Bret goes to get a
chair he picks up the wrong chair! You see him get the first chair fold
it and then throw it down again to pick up the second chair (which is
the blue all metal style chair)

I remember that. This was about 5 years ago on one on the Wrestlemania PPV's.
That snot was huge, just dangling from his nose ready to be eaten.

Someone here mentioned that in the IC title bout between Kerry Von Erich & Curt
Hennig,
when Kerry hit Hennig with the tornado punch, Hennig spun the wrong way.
I remember on Nitro last year when Eddy Guerrero was wrestling someone, his
opponent was working on one of his legs. At one point Guerrero was acting like
his
other leg was hurt.
In another Nitro. it seemed like Mongo was supposed to bounce off the ropes.
Instead,
he fell through the ropes. He slapped both his hands on the ring apron as if he
was
angry.

I think it was a Summerslam from a few years ago... "Ravishing" Rick Rude was
giving a pre-match interview to "Mean" Gene, and the Summerslam sign on the
wall behind him suddenly fell off!
Gene had just started talking, and when the sign fell, he yelled, "Ah, fuck
it!" or something to that extent... definitely said "fuck", though. Rick Rude
looked like he was about to wet himself from holding in the laughter.

he won from Haku (it was a crown instead of a belt). It occured on Superstars,
not a PPV.
So either the match mentioned above wasn't a title match or it wasn't on a PPV.
Didn't Duggan once pull out his wee-wee by mistake when he was trying to pull
out
his roll of tape?
???
What about the accidental WWF references on WCW Nitro, like when:
1. Heenan calling Meng Haku
2. Traylor calling Hennig Mr. Perfect
3. Okerlund calling Vincent Virgil
4. DiBiase saying he would lead the Steiners to the WWF tag titles
5. Heenan almost saying that he managed Ric Flair
Also, didn't Okerlund once say "Stay tuned for more Monday Night RAW" on NITRO?

When Sid returned, driving in some kind of town car, he supposedly
sped in, in support of Bret Hart or whomever was getting beat up in a
parking garage, but you could see the shadow of his car off camera,
waiting for the cue to enter the scene.

That reminds me of the September In Your House. Savio Vega,
Crush and Faarooq were in a Triple Threat Match. Savio Vega
gives Faarooq a spinning neck breaker and Faarooq spins the wrong
way. Can you imagine how bad it looks when you fly one way and
your opponent slams his own body into the mat the other way?

I remember a cage match between Roddy Piper and Bruno SanMartino where Bruno

one of the most embarrassing moments to watch, in my opinion, was when hall and
nash came out to greet DDP into the NWO. he gave hall the diamond cutter and
pushed nash out of the ring, Nash did the worst fake fall i've ever seen, it
looked like he was climbing out, and then he grabbed a table and through it
over himself. it was pretty bad looking

Speaking of Rude, how about the time Jake Roberts pulled off Rude's

Along those same lines a couple years ago in Jim Thorpe at an ECW show 911
was chokeslaming Rob Feinstien during his Bill Alphonso's camera man days.
911 then gave him a wedgie and something popped out I didn't exactly enjoy
seeing. It was a great laugh though and Pual E's comments afterwards were
hilarious. Gee maybe we should change the threads name to have you ever
seen a wrestlers penis.

Yes, I was in the Omni that night. You got it half right. It was Flair who
suplexed Koloff and it was Nikita's "Russian Sickle" that popped out. Ref

I'd heard before that Jake was SO insensed that Rude had the tights made, that
he told him he would pull them off, and let McMahon be damned.
Jake's wife is apparently dead... killed in a car crash several years ago,
which can be directly traced to Jake's alcohal abuse and appearence and
disappearence for the last several years.

Well at the 1996 Royal Rumble..It was the one hwre Shawn Micheals won for the
second year in a row...vader made his debut and he hd his tights on
backwards...on the back was where it said Vader Time..and on the front was the
part where his back shouldve been...I didnt relize at the time becuase he was
new to the WWF and I thought that he just had Vader Time written on the
back..but Now I relize that he had the tights on backwards

That is pretty embarresing, but I was at a house show for USWA(I think)
and saw this large African American guy fighting some jobber.. I think
the non-jobber was Tony Atlas. He powerslammed him or something, and
the guy took a shit in his tights. They had to stop the match. I
couldn't smell anything cause I was way back, but people in the front
rows were obviously smelling something.

Some more:
(1) Sycho Sid interview during either his first stint (as Sid Justice) or

an interview, but screwed up & asked if he could start over.
(2) SummerSlam (not sure of the year). The SummerSlam sign falls down during a
