10 Wrestling Icons That Were Humiliated On Camera
9. Randy Savage & Hulk Hogan
Multifariously stupid and persistently unfunny as a bit, the only positive from WWE's various aged parody promos featuring the "Huckster", "Nacho Man" et al was that Vince McMahon's pathetic nature was on display at his worst.
The entire collection of skits that aired between January 1996 and a useless WrestleMania pre-show payoff match between the two central characters was so laced with hypocrisy and bullsh*t that even if they'd personally hurt the targets rather than simply humiliated them without recourse, they'd still have been disastrous. The vignettes made an audience of one laugh, but did nothing for the diminishing viewers still loyally donating their time to his weekly show.
As it was, the bits were said to motivate Ted Turner to compete even harder than he had before - with WWE's New Generation on the ropes thanks to Nitro, Turner's deep pockets allowed Eric Bischoff to sign key talent away and give McMahon more things to worry about than what Hogan and Savage might get up to as neon babyfaces.
