10 Cheesy WrestleMania Moments You Totally Don't Remember
1. Big Momma's House Show
Do you remember the Big Momma’s House movies? If you answered ‘yes’, then you’re doubtless searching through your DVD collection and Googling whether or not it’s safe to burn metal and plastic. If you answered ‘no’, then this brief reminder will suffice:
Big Momma’s House is a movie wherein Martin Lawrence disguises himself as an overweight old lady in order to stakeout a master criminal. In the sequel, he becomes a nanny. It’s like Mrs Doubtfire, but not as good.
Armed with this information, you’ll be better equipped to understand why WWE’s attempt to ape the already dated series at WrestleMania 28 was so terrible.
Brodus Clay’s ‘Funkasaurus’ gimmick was never going to catapult him into the main event, but having him come out to dance with a bunch of women (at least they were women) dressed as grannies in fat-suits may be the moment his career tanked completely. The woman next to Brodus was supposedly ‘Momma Clay’ (the very same Momma he was constantly asking people to call), and the other identical dancers were her bridge club.
Imagine the most devastating submission move you’ve ever witnessed – hearing Michael Cole shout “look at Momma Go!” as he watches fake septuagenarians gyrate is considerably more painful.
