Top 8 Hilariously bad and Nonsensical Wrestling moments

Professional wrestling has always been known to produce some of the most asinine storylines. If you research the history of wrestling, you'll find the most popular and successful storylines were very simple and easy to follow.

A friend betrays a friend for a shot at a title, or a wrestler works his way through all the competition to finally get a shot at the opponent he's been dying to get his hands on. It's a fairly simple formula.

Professional wrestling differs from other television shows in one very crucial way: they're working on the fly, all year round, to produce a brand new stories week after week.

However, these simple stories would get tinkered with at times and turn into some of the most atrocious angles ever. Since this is a form of entertainment, pro-wrestling has had numerous odd occurrences throughout the years.

Here's a look at eight of the most hilariously bad moments in pro wrestling.

#8 Undertaker kills Paul Bearer

Paul Bearer used to manage The Undertaker!

The Undertaker made it to the list with a moment that had everything lame, stupid and weird about the Undertaker's gimmick and pro wrestling in general.

There was a supernatural lightning strike indoors, an attempted murder and an event that went completely against the storyline that had occurred during the previous weeks.

There was no good reason for the Undertaker to cover longtime associate Paul Bearer with concrete, which would, of course, kill him quite quickly. My favorite part about this moment is the fact that announcer Michael Cole mentioned the moment on the Smackdown that followed the PPV, telling viewers that Paul Bearer was indeed saved.

The Phenom and Bearer have had a blow-hot, blow-cold relationship in the WWE over the years, but this move more or less 'cemented' the legacy of Bearer.

We just never saw him again after that.

#7 David Arquette wins the WCW Championship

David Arquette is best known for playing Deputy Dewey in the Scary Movie franchise. However, in 2000, he also starred in a movie called Ready To Rumble.

Creative team member Vince Russo had the great idea to sell the movie by incorporating it into the WCW heavyweight title storyline. And so David Arquette, a lifelong wrestling fan, was thrown into a match featuring Jeff Jarrett and Eric Bischoff against Diamond Dallas Page and David Arquette.

The match had screwy rules that included that the Heavyweight Championship could change hands regardless of who got pinned. Well, David Arquette ended up pinning the President of WCW, Eric Bischoff. And thus, he was named the new WCW Heavyweight Champion. The crowd wasn't stunned. They were sickened and turned the TV off in droves. It was one of the most infamous and hilariously bad moments in pro wrestling history.

WCW was a brand that did a lot of outlandish things that tested the intelligence of its viewers. But with Arquette, they hit the ball out of the park in terms of how nonsensical it was.

#6 Hulk Hogan enters the Dungeon

The Immortal Hulk Hogan has been a part of some of the corniest and childish storylines in the history of wrestling. At the height of Hulkamania and wrestling, this was great.

The wrestling was geared towards the kids, and they bought into the cheesy acts. But in 1994, the wrestling landscape was changing. All those kids were now teenagers, and they didn't want the cheese anymore. But Hulk Hogan wasn't ready to give up the cheese. During Hogan's early run in WCW, he feuded with The Dungeon Of Doom. The Dungeon Of Doom featured a couple of Hogan's buddies like Brutus Beefcake and Earthquake (under different ring names) and Kevin Sullivan, who also happened to be the main creative guy at the time.

It was on an episode of WCW Saturday Night that a segment aired that would live in infamy. Hulk Hogan, dressed in his usual red and yellow, was shown entering into a well-lit cave. The moment Hogan arrives, he blurts out "What is this place? I've never been here before."

Hogan will never be nominated for an Academy Award, but his acting is torturous. As if his acting isn't bad enough, the dialogue is ridiculous. Who enters a mysterious cave and yells out to nobody "I've never been here before." It was ludicrous. While exploring the cave, Hogan puts his hand under a small water fountain and exclaims "It's not hot," all the while acting as if the water just burned his hand. It is the most shockingly bad segment that WCW has ever produced.

#5 Robocop saves Sting

In May 1990, World Championship Wrestling ran a pay-per-view event called Capital Combat. It was held in the nation's capital, Washington DC. The event featured several wrestling legends such as Ric Flair, The Legion Of Doom, Lex Luger and The Steiner Brothers. However, it may be most famous for the ridiculous angle with RoboCop.

RoboCop was a massively successful movie and the sequel RoboCop 2 was on the verge of nationwide release. Someone within the RoboCop franchise or within WCW thought it would be a good idea to crossbreed the two.

This resulted in RoboCop making an appearance at the Capital Combat pay per view. Not only did he make an appearance, RoboCop, who is a hybrid human-robot law enforcer, saved Sting from being locked in a steel cage by the evil members of The Four Horsemen. After Sting was locked into the cage, RoboCop appeared and tore the cage door off its hinges. RoboCop then turned towards the evil Four Horsemen and challenged them to come after him.

The Four Horsemen, who were the most successful heel group of all time, were naturally afraid of the metal hybrid and promptly left the ringside area. This angle sounds like it could have come from a comic book, but it actually played out live in front of millions of fans.

Classic WCW.

#4 Rick Steiner and Chucky

Chucky of all people has also appeared on WCW!

In its heyday, Monday Night Nitro was one of the most popular cable television series. In 1997 and 1998, it regularly drew over 5 million viewers. However, Monday Nitro would also be famous for some of the most hilariously bad moments in wrestling history. Such as the time when Rick Steiner challenged a child's doll to a fight. And not just any child's doll. It was Chucky, from the popular movie franchise Child's Play.

Rick Steiner, a very successful tag team wrestler, was on the verge of a serious singles career and in the midst of a feud with his real-life brother Scott Steiner. During an interview segment with Mean Gene Okerlund, Chucky appeared on the big screen in front of the thousands of fans at the arena, and the millions watching at home.

He started talking trash and making lame digs at Rick Steiner and Mean Gene, which resulted in Rick Steiner challenging a children's doll to a fight. Here was a top babyface in the largest wrestling company at the time, telling a doll "If you have something to say, come down and say it to my face." Moments like these were a big reason why WCW ended up going out of business in 2001.

Their fascination for Hollywood and the alliances they tried to form did worse for the business than they expected.

#3 The Gobbledy Gooker

The Survivor Series was an annual pay per view event that takes place the night of Thanksgiving. In 1990, Vince McMahon was about to lay a huge surprise on the fans of the World Wrestling Federation. At the beginning of the evening, the fans at the arena and at home were introduced to a giant egg on a stage. They were told that sometime during the evening, the egg would hatch, and a huge surprise would be born. Just before the main event, the egg began to hatch. The audience held its breath in anticipation. And out popped... The Gobbely Gooker? That's right, The Gobbely Gooker.

The Gobbely Gooker was a wrestler dressed up in a full-blown turkey outfit, complete with feathers and a beak. He ran to the ring with Mean Gene Okerlund and danced to some generic WWF music. The fans in attendance were dumbfounded and reacted with almost complete silence. The Gobbely Gooker was supposed to be a wrestler but did not last one night beyond The Survivor Series. This Thanksgiving day surprise was dead on arrival.

The Gooker was none other than Hector Guerrero, who was WWE legend Eddie Guerrero's brother.

#2 The Shockmaster Arrives

The Shockmaster's debut was a big blunder!

1993 wasn't the best year for wrestling. The leader in pro-wrestling at the time, the WWF, was trotting out gimmicks like repo men, evil clowns and seven-foot giants in hairy bodysuits. So if the WWF was in such a creative lull, one can only imagine the disaster gimmicks WCW was producing.

Enter The Shockmaster. The Shockmaster was played by Fred Ottoman, the wrestler formerly known as Tugboat. He made his disastrous debut by crashing through the set of A Flair For The Gold, an interview segment hosted by Ric Flair. Sting was being interviewed and when he stated that his partner would be "none other than The Shockmaster," Pyro went off near a wall and Shockmaster blasted through the wall. Or rather, that is what he was supposed to do.

Instead, he broke some of the walls and fell through the rest. As the cameras rolled on the fallen star, you could hear Davey Boy Smith laughing in the background. The crowd groaned. On top of the hilariously bad debut, The Shockmaster was no more than a big guy in a denim button-up shirt and a glittered hard hat. That was the extent of his gimmick. Luckily for poor Fred Ottoman and the fans of WCW, The Shockmaster did not last long. He presumably left the WCW in search of an easier wall to break through.

#1 Katie Vick

Let's just leave this picture unexplained!

For wrestling fans, nothing makes them roll their eyes more than the mere mention of Katie Vick. It was during an episode of Raw that Triple H first mentioned her. Katie Vick was the supposed former girlfriend of WWE superstar Kane, who was apparently murdered by Kane.

The week after Triple H mentioned Katie Vick, Kane came out on Raw to explain that he killed Katie Vick in a drunk driving accident. Kane said he was behind the wheel and suffered injuries, but that Vick did not survive. As if this was not bad enough, it only got worse. On the next episode of Raw, Triple H fondled a mannequin in a casket, presumably Katie Vick.

I'm not sure what the creative team was smoking at the time, but the idea of your top wrestler molesting a mannequin in a casket isn't a good idea on any drug. The storyline only lasted a couple more weeks before it was forgotten about. However, it's become one of the biggest faux pas in the history of wrestling.
