10 Classic WrestleMania Moments (WWE Won’t Ever Brag About)

2. Uh Oh, It's Susan Saint James

Another horrific(ally hilarious) celebrity involvement at WrestleMania II, guest commentator Susan Saint James occupies the #2 slot in the "could not give a sh*t about appearing at WrestleMania" stakes, giving Batista at WrestleMania XXIV a run for his money in the top slot. In an attempt to put over the urgency of the action she called, Saint James settled upon an easy dramatic shortcut of a "catchphrase": "Uh-oh."

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh.

In theory, this was designed to mirror her concern over the wellbeing of the babyface performers. In translation, she sounded like a tranquillised automaton stuck in a time loop, repeating the phrase more often than Randy Savage dropped the elbow on the Ultimate Warrior five years later. She said as much as Stephanie McMahon did during this year's Women's Rumble bout, which is to say: absolutely nothing.

You'll likely never hear these words uttered on WWE TV ever again, since Saint James' celebrity has faded, and she sort of reacted to the biggest show of the year as if she was bored rigid. But still: if you need a reason to cherish this year's edition, knowing Sasha Banks and Bayley are likely getting shunted to a monster pimp-glorifying Kickoff bout, this unintentionally comedic showing shows you that things could be far worse.
