10 WTF WWE Moments

What are these facepalm-inducing moments about anyway?

World Wrestling Entertainment is a company that prides itself on the moments it creates. It replays those moments ad nauseum in video packages, television specials and on its revolutionary streaming and on-demand network. Employees talk up those moments and their place in pro wrestling history. And rightfully so. From Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant's face-to-face at WrestleMania III to Shawn Michaels' boyhood dream coming true, the beginning of the Austin era at WrestleMania XIV and the return of Brock Lesnar in 2012, they are moments in time that left fans excited, emotional and enthusiastic about the art form they love. For every monumental moment, there are those that leave fans asking, "WTF?!" From boogeymen to turkey suits, necrophiliacs to elderly pregnancies, WWE's crack creative staff has been responsible for some of the most moronic, mind numbingly bad moments in professional wrestling's centuries-long history. They are the moments that make fans ashamed to be fans of the sport and question what those in power were smoking or snorting when they came up with them. What are these facepalm-inducing moments?
