10 Weird Times TV Shows Had Wrestling Storylines

3. Sabrina The Teenage Witch

Billy Gunn Sabrina
ABC

An attractive blonde girl turns 16 and becomes a witch. The premise of Sabrina The Teenage Witch doubles as Kevin Dunn's teenage diary entries, and in this episode, the protagonist wrestles Billy Gunn.

Sabrina Vs. Billy Gunn, only slightly less of a mismatch than The Rock Vs. Billy Gunn, happens because a cat's daughter is getting married, and the father of the bride must battle the father of the groom to earn the right, but the cat is protected by the Humane Society, and the teenage witch is his second, and you spent hours watching Nickelodeon instead of making something of yourself and you deserve to sit through 15 minutes of a RAW opening segment every week.

Sabrina uses magic and an eye-rake in her heat spot, but Gunn uses his magically-powered physique (...) to regain the advantage. He throws Sabrina out of the ring. When she returns, he applies a chinlock of sorts. Because this was a simulation of a simulation intended for children, he of course applies no visible pressure, and - this isn't exaggerated snark, it really isn't - it still looks as effective as John Cena's STF.

"I draw the line at catering," Sabrina says, when negotiating her maid of honour duties.

Unrealistic.
