33 Holy S*** Moments From WWE Raw History

30. Captain Kirk Monkey Flips Jerry Lawler

It is so surreal looking back on this one, with William Shatner executing a monkey flip on Jerry The King Lalwer. It went down on the January 9th 1995 edition of Raw, as part of a cross promotion with Shatner's new Tekwar program. It might seem a little kitsch looking back, but at the time it was as big of a Raw moment as there had ever been. Shatner was a mainstream guy, famed for his portrayal of Captain Kirk in Star Trek. To see him coming into the WWF ring and executing a monkey flip, it left fans (and the wider world) absolutely gob-smacked!
