Take a bow, Sami Zayn. In fact, take a bow Sami and Johnny Knoxville. Together, the unlikely pair produced a comedy classic that had everyone howling for the right reasons. Best of all, every single bit of Sami's humiliation was planned, and everything went off without a hitch. Seriously, if you skipped this match then you were missing out.

Zayn's humbling stands out on this list for a reason. It's the only example of WrestleMania awkwardness that was supposed to be 100% mortifying for someone. At 'Mania 38, Sami showed his true value to the company, and Knoxville somehow met him halfway when it might've been easy for him to be a celebrity flop.

Happy days.

Zayn willingly made himself look like a complete fool throughout this Jackass stunt-laden tour of traps. He was slapped by a huge hand, kicked in the balls, and generally made fun of by JK and pals as everyone giggled. What a masterful display of physical self-deprecation.

Bobby Heenan would've been proud.
