50 Dumbest Moments in Wrestling

28. GOLDBERG PLAYS THE GAME…BADLY
From the “He knows it’s all fake, right?” file: During the height of the Monday Night War in the late 90s, both the WWF and WCW sent representatives to some big media convention. Respectively, HHH and Bill Goldberg carried the flags for their companies. A still wet-behind-the-ears Goldberg decided to confront HHH in character and read him the riot act. Reports state that HHH played it cool, while Goldberg looked like a complete ass, embarrassing both himself and his company (if, in fact, either was ever truly capable of feeling shame). This also didn’t do Bill any favors when he came to the WWE years later to find that HHH was Raw’s top dog. The burial of Goldberg ranks high on the list of WWE blunders (and that’s a whole separate countdown), but frankly, the creature from Planet Goldberg should have come back down to Earth for that fateful day on the convention floor.

10. STEPHANIE REMEMBERS…
Wrestlers have fans. Wrestling writers have supporters. Wrestling divas have stalkers. But “wrestler”/“writer”/”diva” Stephanie McMahon only has apologists. One of the minds that will inherit the WWE laid her ignorance bare for all the world to see on the infamous 9/13/01 Smackdown.

Vince came under fire for even DOING a live Smackdown two days after 9/11 in the first place. We squirmed in our chairs when Vince proudly barked that the show was “the largest public gathering of any kind” after the greatest tragedy our country had ever seen. We looked at our shoes when future WWE champion Bradshaw said that anyone who criticized them for doing the show could “go to hell,” then basically cut a promo in support of genocide. But when it was when Stephanie had her close-up that wrestling’s richest bimbo had her definitive moment.

Stephanie actually compared the terrorist attack on the U.S. to when the U.S. Federal Government went after her daddy on steroid charges. She whined, “They said bad things about my family, but we became stronger.” Obviously, no one in the company would admit that Skankanie’s mind-bogglingly insensitive remarks were a very, very bad idea. However, when clips of the special SD were replayed on their weekend shows, all traces of Steph’s rant were wiped from existence. Even O.J. Simpson TRIED to hide the bloody glove.

One wrestling newsletter accurately decried Stephanie’s comments as “the most tasteless comments ever made on a pro wrestling program.” Screechy’s rant was the first sign that her insecure, unthinking ass isn’t fit to write down a phone number, let alone be head writer for a wrestling company. Big Steph has been unsuccessfully trying to live this moment down ever since...More?
