WWE 13: 10 Disappointing Attitude Era Moments We Don't Want To Revisit

6. Coffin Surfing on Smackdown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1ec45GE7Q4 Death is a subject that is often portrayed on television and film. Death is sombre, but sometimes death can be humorous, as the Darwin Awards pay testament to. However, as the WWE would soon learn, having one superstar mock another superstar over the death of a parent is not exactly funny. Well, funny in the same sense as pathetic. At the end of 1999, the Big Show was in a feud with the Big Boss Man, and at a point in the feud, Show's father was to lose his fight against cancer. In reality, Show's father had been dead years before, not that it makes the situation too much better. The Boss Man would interrupt the ten bell-toll for Show's dad, and would proceed to read out an extremely offensive poem in eulogy. Nevertheless, the most poignant moment of this feud was to be seen during the funeral, when Boss Man decided the best way of showing his true condolences was to interrupt the funeral, proposition the dead man's widow, and steal the coffin, with the Big Show clinging on for dear life. In a moment which was supposed to draw the Boss Man immense heat and garner an emotional investment in the Big Show just became a complete and utter joke, more humorous than anything else. Let's just say that this is a moment I wouldn't want to see in WWE 13, or indeed as the plot of the new Vince Vaughan and Owen Wilson movie Funeral Crashers.
