8. Anthony Ogogo's Weigh-In Hell

AEW's Anthony Ogogo once called his weigh-in segment from the 28 May 2021 edition of Dynamite "f*cking dogsh*t, mate" during a chat with interviewer extraordinaire Chris Van Vliet. Ogogo had reservations ahead of time, because he figured the complete lack of action would be far too Lance Sto...sorry, boring for a wrestling show.

Cody Rhodes disagreed, and so did everyone else behind the scenes.

What resulted was a torturous waste of precious TV time on AEW's flagship broadcast. Paul Wight couldn't get the misfiring scales to work properly, and Ogogo blasted him in typical heel fashion. Unfortunately, due to his accent, the word "can't" sounded like something else entirely. Clue: That other word replaces the 'a' with a 'u'.

Cody vs. Ant at Double Or Nothing the following week was nothing to write home about either, and Ogogo's AEW career has never got back on track. Technically, he's still contracted to the promotion until 2025, but hasn't worked a match on TV since Dark vanished.
