The Shockmaster...Pro Wrestling’s most embarrassing and unintentionally funny debut

[Hector]

Yes, it was live...

I had never heard of this until a few years ago. I have watched it tons of times since. One of the funniest videos ever. Comedy gold.

Disco Storm Trooper helmet...

Even if he doesn’t fall, that look was a disaster. Falling actually distracts from how horrible that gimmick was.

Good god, that was bad. Lol

That toilet paper around him was pretty bad, lol.

The Shockmaster is still number one, stuff of legends...

I think that was Tugboat under the sparkle trooper helmet

My favorite wrestling fail is of the backyard variety. I watch it over and over and end up laughing uncontrollably to the point of tears.

The Shockmaster video is hilarious because of the many levels of what's going on in this video. I'm going to dissect it.

First, the Flair interview set is horrible! And while Flair is trying to build things up, Sting and Bulldog are having a hard time making the introduction because Sid is yelling so much that they're talking over each other. They finally make the intro, followed by the weird pyro and the Shockmaster suddenly falls thru the wall and his helmet rolls off, in possibly the least threatening costume ever seen. Then Flair says "I told you....Oh God..." and they're trying to compose themselves for a few seconds and one of them says "He fell right on his ***"! I'm howling!! So now, Shockmaster is back on his feet with his helmet back on just waiting for what we're not sure, so Sid tries to put it back together by yelling again. Well, Shockmaster is waiting for Ole Anderson to do the voiceover in the mic, but Ole isn't speaking right away so Shockmaster gets confused and thinks what Sid is saying is Ole and Shockmaster starts pantomiming to what Sid is saying! When Ole finally does start talking, he's still laughing for a split second at the beginning! What a giant mess. We never see Sting, Bulldog, or Flair again. I'm guessing they ran off the set to keep from laughing. I would have had to!!

This may be the funniest piece of wrestling footage ever produced.

Great analogy ^^^^^^^^

WCW came up with some weird stuff. No wonder they went under.

When I was in junior high, a neighbor kid was always belittling me for reading comics, but he was obsessed with professional wrestling. I reminisce about that and now it strikes me as very funny.
