The majority of truly great "holy sh*t" Raw spots are not just fantastic as standalone segments, but sensational, story-driven checkpoints in wider creative arcs. Bubba Ray Dudley loved putting women through tables and abusing Mae Young, but there's little - if any - requirement to contextualise one of the most insane visuals the company ever created, so let's just get to the bit that satisfies the brief.

It was a moment that could only happen in professional wrestling. Ray soared through the air from the Monday Night Raw stage looking bigger than it ever had, flying like he'd never flew, scissored by Mae's legs as she crumpled in a heap through multiple tables below.

A septuagenarian suffering a fate a trained stunt performer would think twice over, with a post-carnage close-up on the evil perpetrator's orgasmic reaction. The only thing as mad was how this incredible scene almost immediately expedited a babyface turn for '3D' maestros in their feud with Edge, Christian and The Hardy Boyz.

How?

How did this happen? How the f*ck did this brilliant, barmy thing come to be? Because holy sh*t wrestling is amazing sometimes.
