27 WTF Moments From WWE Tribute To The Troops 2015

5. Howie Ruins A Fan's Birthday Moment

Cue one of the most cringe-worthy moments in recent WWE history, as Mandel appeared to be interrupted mid-way through his segment, heading over to a fan to ask them what they said. It turned out it was one fan's birthday today (pictured left), to which Mandel said, "Can I ask you something? Do I not look busy?" He then asked if the fan was in the service, and the fan wasn't, so he said, "So it's your birthday, you're not in the service, and you've stopped the show. I thank everyone here for all your service. This guy, whose birthday it is? No thanks to you." The fan took it pretty well, laughing through his probably scarred psyche, but it was a massive cringe moment, when all Howie had to do was wish the guy a happy birthday and move on. Instead, it ended up as something so embarrassing you needed to watch it through splayed fingers.
