6. WWFs Funniest Moments
This is the early 90s release rather than the fairly good 2000s edition, and boy, it is rotten. The WWFs definition of humour varies wildly from everyone elses, case in point being a near 10-minute portion of the tape dedicated to everyones favourite giant fluffy turkey the Gobbledygooker. Its not even taken from his Survivor Series debut either, which would have at least given us some laughs seeing Mean Gene Okerlund prance around like a prat. No, this is the Gooker dancing jigs and doing cartwheels with Mike McGuirk, then the golf ball-eyed bird busting a move with the Fink. If that alone is not enough to drive you away, then a woeful segment with some of the most amateur production values since Plan 9 from Outer Space in which the Bushwhackers cook for Mean Gene then convert him into one of their own, surely is.
