9 Funniest Times Wrestlers CORPSED On Live TV

1. "...UCEY?"

Brock Lesnar Jey Uso

An internal pop so powerful it can probably be credited for selling multiple Premium Live Event headliners and making a man who was "main event" in name only a World Heavyweight Champion, Jey Uso's near-loss of control during a monster Bloodline segment became the stuff of legends seconds after it aired.

At the height of the tension between the group, mere seconds after Jey had boldly exclaimed that he didn't "give a damn what The Tribal Chief says", Zayn leapt to his friend's defence by simply explaining that Jey wasn't "feeling very Ucey".

The crowd ate it up immediately, and as much as Jey and Roman tried - through covering faces and looking to the heavens respectively - they couldn't stop the laughs from surfacing. 

It was hard to know what pushed him so far into his giggle loop. Sami Zayn had made a point of popping the boys in The Bloodline, with both Usos, Solo Sikoa and even Roman Reigns often unable to hide how funny they found his self-effacing dancing, high five routines and even some of his non sequiturs about going to Waffle House. But this particular line on this particular night at this key pivot point in the story located just the right amount of reality to further bolster this incredible pro wrestling fiction.

With Jey almost physically shaking and unable to place his eyes anywhere without corpsing, Roman composed himself first and hilariously refused to let him squirm out of the way as they just about managed to wrap it all up. There have been select examples that counter the "funny ain't money" argument, but maybe never again will one draw quite as much cash as this one.
