11 Off-Air WCW Moments You Weren't Supposed To See

7. Seriously, We€™re Still Filming Guys

And by never again, we mean, until the next year. This is an infamous moment highlighted in many €˜worst of€™ lists. In a strange backstage segment Miss Elizabeth and Lex Luger are talking backstage while the Filthy Animals (Rey Mysterio and Kidman) are filming them. They are doing this because they think that Liz is about to get undressed €“ yes, really. For the viewers at home this was understandably a bit of a surreal skit already. But then things got very weird a few moments later. The segment went as smoothly as a 1999 WCW segment could, until everyone thought it was finished. And then the camera just kept rolling and we got to see a few seconds of €˜off air€™ WCW randomness. Viewers suddenly saw the camera crew and directors clapping the end of the sequence, and then all the performers laughing, like we had just tuned into a behind the scenes featurette. It€™s only a few seconds long, but it was meant to be €˜off air€™, and just further highlighted how bad WCW€™s production had become towards the end of its run.
