10 Craziest Things That Ever Happened After WWE Raw Went Off The Air

4. Legit Ross

Vince McMahon got uncomfortable enjoyment out of abusing Jim Ross on-screen, but the deployment of his son-in-law to do so when the cameras had stopped rolling was an altogether gentler affair.

DX and John Cena were dancing with Teddy Long when Triple H invited "The King Of Boogie" into the ring at Jerry Lawler's behest. The atmosphere was substantially more convivial than when his head was forced into his boss's backside, and Ross quickly cut a rug with Teddy to the grins and applause of those in the ring.

Though not a justification for McMahon's relentless prodding, JR was always the type to take himself quite seriously so it was genuinely refreshing to see him let his hair down - and even briefly take his hat off. He even went to the trouble of selling his back and heart as a result of the slick moves, and was given a warm reception from the audience for his efforts.
