8 Times EVERYTHING Went Wrong In WWE (In The Funniest Possible Way)

3. Samoa Joe's Poncho

Samoa Joe is one of the baddest men in professional wrestling.

He's a performer who has excelled in every promotion that he's graced with his presence. Joe has always relied on his toughness and grit as his main selling point, and he looks like a man who drinks the tears of his enemies whilst eating bricks between bouts.

It's for those reasons that the sight of him standing in front of the camera in a poncho with the saddest of sad faces managed to be so funny. WrestleMania 37 was subjected to severe weather delay due to tropical storms in the Tampa Bay region, and Joe was drafted in to do a little on-air commentary next to Michael Cole.

Joe is charismatic enough to pull this off and stall for time, but then the camera cut to him looking like a man who'd rather be anywhere else on earth while wrapped in a clear plastic poncho. The resulting image became a meme for the ages. Joe saw the funny side of the whole thing, but the cameras capturing him looking like a sad panda in the rain meant that the world would laugh about this moment forevermore
