10 Wrestling Moments Nobody Wanted (But EVERYONE Liked)
4. Johnny Knoxville’s WrestleMania Moment
Ready for another bit of Sami Zayn genius? You got it.
Yeah, you got it, but few wanted it. That's understandable, 'cause the thought of seeing Jackass star Johnny Knoxville work a match at WrestleMania 38 sounded weak. Why would anyone want to see a full-timer miss out on their 'Mania payday so Knoxville could suck in-ring?!
Remarkably, JK's match with Sami turned out to be one of the best surprise packages in WrestleMania's rich history. The comedy bout was some laugh, and both worked their balls off to produce on the night. In fact, scratch that - Zayn and Knoxville put more effort into the build towards their clash than most others on the roster.
Johnny f'n Knoxville hoovering up 'Mania ring time sounded like the next Michael Cole-esque disaster, but the end result was far from that rotten battle of the announcers stinker from 2011. The match was so good that some even wondered if a sequel might fly.
