10 Cheesy WrestleMania Moments You Totally Don't Remember
Sumo wrestling, chloroform, and beer-sponsored cat fights.
The proverbial and patented WrestleMania Moment™ is perhaps one of the most sought after non-championship achievements in WWE. Sure, you could win countless matches, belts, and other PPV main events, but if you haven’t had that one memorable moment on 'The Grandest Stage of them All', you might very well become a footnote in the annals of WWE history.
But WWE is pretty loose when it comes to actually defining what makes a ‘WrestleMania Moment’. Is it a big title win? The final chapter of a well-told story? A sudden betrayal? While we tend to hear the aforementioned overused buzz-phrase and think of Daniel Bryan’s anti-Authority victory or Hulk Hogan slamming Andre the Giant, WrestleMania also has a long and sordid history of utter dreck.
These are ‘WrestleMania Moments’ that we’d rather not recall, and have since blocked from our memories in order to make each subsequent event feel special. Whatever happens at WrestleMania 33, it's likely we won't be seeing these monstrosities showing up in the opening highlight reel.
10. Fake Bill Clinton
A WWE Hall of Famer and former WrestleMania host is now President of the United States, and even appointed Linda McMahon as his Small Business Administrator, so you’ve probably got a pretty good idea of where the McMahon family stands on the political spectrum.
With that in mind, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that Vince once employed Bill Clinton impersonator Timothy Watters as a way of taking cheap shots at the then-Democrat President. Fake Bill appeared at WrestleMania X, where he was briefly interviewed by Todd Pettengill about whether or not he was enjoying the show.
Never mind that the impersonator genuinely looked and sounded a lot like Bill Clinton, WWE presented the man as though he really was the president, and had him admit that he’d been having a few problems with Irwin R. Schyster. He was having problems with IRS – get it?
Schyster, who was also sitting in the ‘Presidential Box’, proceeded to thank the President for all of his good work, and congratulate him on raising the taxes, singling out the tax dodgers who needed to be brought to justice.
