Never forgot how funny and entertaining the WWE was in the late 90s early 2000s. This is better than 99% of comedy today. Enjoy

Seeing some of those clips it kind of feels like the same vibe as Trailer Park Boys if you’ve ever seen that on Netflix (it’s a comedy from Canada).

There was a segment shown at some point during this storyline that saw the
Big Boss Man gain posession of a pocket watch that the Big Show's father gave him before passing away.

The Boss Man placed the watch upon an anvil and violently struck the timepiece with a hammer, hoping to shatter it.

The watch withstood the blow without a scratch.

The Boss Man, a former prison guard, then delivered what I consider to be the funniest ad-lib in wrestling history when he exclaimed...

"Now THAT's HARD TIME!!"

Amazing.

Recently discovered that Peacock has every episode of WWF Smackdown ever filmed, so my sons and I have been going back and watching them starting in 1999. First few episodes have already featured Big Boss Man feeding Al Snow his own dog, Pepper. It's pure lunacy every week.

That always felt like cheap heat to me. One of the best I remember was when Austin broke into Brian Pillman's home.

The best part about the graveyard sketch is I'm pretty sure they didn't even have proper permission to be there or film the segment AND a real funeral was going on right next to the insanity

They had used this cemetery before, usually for Undertaker promos. There were mourners at the cemetery when they filmed all this. The WWF was banned afterward.

The Big Boss Man's career was filled with fantastic moments like these, going all the way back to his time in the Southern territories as Big Bubba Rogers, working alongside Louisiana favorite Jimmy Cornette.

The simpler times of The Piper's Pit being replaced by Adrian Adonis' Flower Shop, and Roddy getting his revenge. High drama.

These vignettes were amazing and went a long way toward training crowds on how to react toward wrestlers before they ever set foot in the ring.

"Double J" vignette.

Waylon Mercy vignette.

These two clips will be the best things you watch, all week.
