this list we’re looking at the times
when wrestlers went a bit off script
forgot the script or rewrote the whole
thing entirely breaking character
shatters the illusion that wrestling is
real and not a staged production
violating a once sacred law known as
kayfabe but it also makes for some of
the most fascinating moments in dota 2 B
history as well number 10 Chris Jericho
disqualifies himself to save Neville on
an episode of Raw in 2016
Jericho was battling the high flyer
Neville and their match was going great
until Neville attempted a baseball slide
and severely busted his ankle obvious to
y2j Neville was badly hit and wouldn’t
be able to perform his acrobatic move
set so Jericho went for a quick pin to
end the match and get some help
but referee Charles Robinson broke the
count at two and y2j lost it
shoving Robinson and screaming
obscenities at him Jericho drew a
disqualification to end the match
breaking character in order to help the
injured Neville number nine Syd once a
redo
during a double you be in your house
pay-per-view in 1995
interviewer Jim Ross questions the
Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase about his
desire to obtain the championship belt
in an upcoming match between Sid and the
Derby champion diesel Ross then asks SID
his thoughts on the matter and the big
man completely flubs his lines getting
so frustrated he asked to start the
promo over again to which good old jr.
responds this is live pal the choice of
live TV SID eventually regroups and
finishes the promo but looks none too
pleased with his efforts number 8 Triple
H heals miraculously when you’re married
to the boss’s daughter sometimes you can
get too comfortable in the workplace and
being a bit careless the same holds true
even if your wick places the WB just as
Triple H during Shawn Michaels farewell
speech on Raw the night after
WrestleMania 26 Triple H appeared atop
the ramp to hug and congratulate his
longtime friend and they truly special
moments but he forgot one thing earlier
that night he was attacked from behind
with a bloody steel pipe at the hands of
Sheamus and knocked unconscious seeing
Triple H laugh and celebrate later that
night is a real kayfabe clusterfuck
number 7 Mean Gene drops the f-bomb
another case of WWE talent running into
trouble on live TV but this time with
some slightly more colorful language
during some Islamic 89 main gene
Auckland was sent to interview the
Intercontinental Champion ravishing Rick
Rude backstage along with his manager
Bobby Heenan but before Auckland could
get a question out of his mouth a
SummerSlam sign fell off the wall behind
him and crashed on the ground startling
the legendary announcer with rude and
Heenan looking on Mean Gene drops off
okay causing them to immediately cut his
mic an average-size announcer Jesse
Ventura make some jokes for the save
number six CM Punk laughs at Triple H
during a 2013 episode of Raw Stephanie
McMahon gathered a group of former WB
champions in the ring to discuss the
greatness and legacy of the title and
its holders it’s only expected that she
went on to shower her husband Triple H
with praise naming him the greatest
champion of all time what was unexpected
however was CM Punk’s hilarious reaction
to these comments Punk breaks out in
laughter head in hand
mocking Stephanie’s comments and Triple
H’s multiple title runs in a move that
legend has it did not go over well
backstage with the McMahon family number
5 Gail Kim eliminates herself from the
diva battle royal in one of the
strangest entries on this list Gail Kim
doesn’t quite break character per se but
instead she uses his spotlight on TV in
order to give a giant fu to WB
management for her terrible treatment
within the company during this time
on a 2011 episode of Raw mere seconds
into the divas battle royal match and
without even being touched
Kim rolls out of the ring and walks
backstage leaving the show’s announcers
baffled in the process but Kim didn’t
care as unbeknownst to others she was on
her way back to TNA Wrestling anyway so
let’s just say she decided to take an
early leave of absence number for Randy
Orton consoled Shane McMahon’s son some
backstory on this one
Shane faced the Undertaker at
WrestleMania 32 in a Hell in a Cell
match where he jumped off the top of the
cell crashed through the ringside table
and nearly killed himself oh yeah and
that was with his small children looking
from ringside no less months later at
Survivor Series Shane took a hard spear
from Roman and appeared to be knocked
unconscious and guess what his son was
sitting at ringside again talk about a
traumatic childhood Orton was kind of a
heel at the time but having kids himself
he showed that he’s a decent guy by
consoling Shane’s son in the audience
telling him the entry whistle part the
show no number 3 Vince McMahon is forced
back on TV
in 2007 Vince McMahon killed his
character off in a whodunit type murder
mystery as sorum take some much-needed
time off away from television to focus
on running the company however in a
tragic event that soon followed Chris
Benoit killed his family and later
himself
in a heartbreaking double murder-suicide
returning to live TV to address the
world and grieving fans Vince was forced
to abandon the murder mystery angle
along with the fictional elements of
wrestling all together to pay his
respects to the deceased and navigate
one of the darkest times in professional
wrestling history number 2 the curtain
call back in 1996 kayfabe was alive and
well and wrestlers were expected to be
in character in and outside of the ring
also at this time WV was struggling in
the ratings and two of its biggest stars
in Scott Hall and Kevin Nash was set to
jump ship to rival WCW
so after Nash’s final match at a man
swag garden house show members of the
clique decided to blur the lines between
fiction and reality between good and bad
and embrace each other in the center of
the ring to say their goodbyes all hell
broke loose backstage and may still
believe that this single event
contributed to the death of kayfabe
number 1 the Montreal Screwjob
as mentioned WB was struggling in the
ratings during the mid nineties and
stars were jumping ship to WCW but when
longtime w/e hero Bret Hart decided to
head south to Ted Turner’s promotion the
situation became dire for Vince McMahon
Hart wanted to drop the belt on his own
terms and receive a hero’s farewell but
Vince had other plans before the
infamous championship match at Survivor
Series in 1997 mr. McMahon secretly
reworked the ending to Shawn Michaels
winning the title with the help of
referee Earl Hebner and the rest is
wrestling history did Bret screwed Bret
always Vince to blame the jury is still
out on this one
