10 Ridiculous WWE Moments You Might Have Missed
Wrestling is stupid sometimes.
Professional wrestling is stupid sometimes. Any long-time fan can attest to this sad fact.
Once known as a physical display of calculated manoeuvres and a showcase of unbelievable specimens, the art of wrestling rapidly descended into a battle of nonsensical shock factor during the famed Monday Night Wars.
WWE may have tamed its programming since those halcyon days, but the company is still responsible for a plethora of ridiculous moments today. Some of those moments have been heavily publicised - one more mention of Katie Vick might make me vomit - but for whatever reason, plenty have completely flown under the radar and seem to get a pass.
That's not to say the Attitude Era was without its undermentioned ridiculousness, but the drop in ratings since those days means much less of the stupid moments, particularly throughout the 00s, are yet to receive their due mockings. So here we are.
These are 10 (relatively) unknown or otherwise overlooked ridiculous WWE moments you have to see to believe.
10. "I'm Gonna Kill Him Anyway"
WWE sporadically showed signs of progressing out of the PG Era in 2014, but there is arguably no moment in the last two years more risqué than Seth Rollins proclaiming he would straight up kill WWE Hall of Famer, Edge.
During The Authority's hiatus after losing power at that year's Survivor Series, Rollins would interrupt a special Cutting Edge Peep Show hosted by Edge and Christian. Pinning Edge to the mat, Rollins threatened to paralyse the 11-time World Champion if Cena didn't reinstate The Authority.
A reluctant Cena followed through with the request, prompting a line from Rollins that required a second listen to make sure it was heard correctly.
Surprisingly, Rollins' quote of "But damn, you gotta know me better than that, I'm gonna kill him anyway" went unrecognised for the most part. Considering WWE's approach to providing family friendly content, having a budding main eventer voice his intentions to kill a helpless man probably isn't what WWE investors would want to hear.
The line was later removed from promotional clips for Rollins and Cena's Triple Threat Match at the Royal Rumble, which also featured Brock Lesnar.
