You Fucked Up! (The On-Air Punishment Thread)
 

It's been a time-honored tradition in the world of professional wrestling for workers to be punished for something that they did either on-air or backstage. While I think that punishing those workers on-air is detrimental to just about everyone, sometimes some silly things were bred from it. Exhibit A:

Perry Saturn was reportedly saddled with the meant-to-be embarrassing 'Moppy' schtick following an incident where he shot on Mike Bell:

He sort of made the gimmick work...but not really.

What are some other examples of workers being punished on-air? Who do you think was screwed the most from one of these scenarios? Who do you think turned the scenarios around and made them work?

I don't think that's really the same thing.

I don't know if the timeline is right but was Triple H's slop feud with Henry Godwin punishment for the MSG incident

I guess I could look it up, but you know, reasons.

Was Pepe a punishment for Chavo?

Piggy James.

"Adorable" Adrian Adonis.

Mark Henry and Mae and the hand

What did Mark Henry do to deserve that?

Made too much and wasn't worth the investment at the time.

I actually was listening to Chavo tell that story himself last week on Jericho's podcast.

Pepe came about during the time where Chavo had to be Eddie's personal servant because he lost to him in a match. Somebody made Chavo the "EDDIE GUERRERO IS MY FAVORITE WRESTLER" shirt (which Chavo was ADAMANTLY against wearing on air at first, but it got over), and eventually started going crazy. The original Pepe was Eddie's daughter's, as they were dicking around with it at a barbeque at Eddie's house, and it was suggested that Chavo use it on air. He only planned on doing it once, but it caught on.

What did they do to deserve punishment?

Ha, hardly his fault.

don't recall what it was, but I have heard more than once that it was a punishment thing for Henry.

Adonis really nailed it. Laycool cracked me up during Piggy James, even though it made pretty much zero sense.

what about Natalie Neidhart farting?

Hahaha, yeah, what the fuck was that about?

:lol:

I miss Booker T on commentary.

Seriously dying right now. That was so ridiculous. Didn't call a single move in that video. Just talked about farts, even after the finish.

Lol look at Adonis in the early 80's and compare to the late 80's and you'll see why

Gained a shitload of weight

I miss Booker T on commentary as well

Morrison made people jelly backstage so they put him with the Miz and then put the title on Miz and made Morrison the Janetty of the lot

Adorable.

Adrian Adonis was amazing

The Red Rooster and Polkadot Dusty Rhodes were pretty much Vince being a dickhead.

At least Dusty got to hang out with that smoke show, Sapphire.

Not really a punishment I guess, but wasn't Cena's rapper gimmick given to him with the expectation that it had no chance of getting over?

No. That was WWE trying to be hip with rap being a main genre in the world

I feel like it was based off of a Halloween episode of Smackdown where he dressed as Vanilla Ice. I could be wrong.

I could definitely see people joking with him and him being like "I actually do rap a little bit, you know" and they were like "Whaaaaaaaaaa?" and the rest is history.

And they were trying to humiliate him into quitting, so they wouldn't have to pay that big ass paycheck they were giving him.

Another one: The Serena video.

Didn't Drew get depushed due to an argument with his then girlfriend Tiffany?

Wife I thought, read she kicked his ass in a hotel room over something/nothing and he got heat for it.
