10 Emotional WWE Moments That Fell Flat
10. Brian Christopher Badmouths Jerry Lawler
The powerful melodrama of a vindictive Michael Cole seeking out Jerry Lawler's son Brian and having him chastise his father for never being there should have worked a treat. Instead, it was a humbling moment for Brian Christopher, as the former Too Cool star realised the WWE audience no longer had any idea of who he was.
Rambling on about how daddy was never there for him, Christopher lambasted an embarrassed-looking Lawler as the crowd grew increasingly bored of the segment. This was supposed to be a huge moment in the build towards Cole vs. Lawler at WrestleMania XXVII, but it clearly didn't register with the fans on Raw.
A decade removed from relevance, a former WWE Tag Team Champion was made to look foolish and out of his element. If fans had any clue who Christopher was, the skit may have worked.
This was a fine idea on paper, yet one sorely lacking in execution.
