10. "Your Head Was In Your Ass!" (Raw, October 24, 2005)
We may never know why Vince McMahon seemingly got so much pleasure out of humiliating "Good Ol' JR" Jim Ross. Perhaps it was his overly southern style or the fact that he came from the territory system and was an excellent play-by-play man for WCW before he even arrived in WWE. Maybe it was some sort of behind-the-scenes deal that fans may never know the full truth about. Whatever the case may be, the October 24, 2005 episode of Raw saw McMahon stoop to new lows as he poked fun at and humiliated Ross with an overly long comedic sketch that centered around the future Hall of Famer's very real cancer diagnosis. McMahon, as Dr. Hiney, would pull various items out of "Ross'" rectum. The big payoff to the joke was the moment in which the good doctor removed a replica of Ross' head from his ass, something that likely elicited a few yuks from McMahon and his stooges but groans from everyone else that loved and respected the subject of the harsh and unjust joke. It was one of those mean-spirited attempts to get a laugh at someone else's extent, one that was critically condemned by fans, analysts and talent alike.
