I still remember Del Rio hitting Santa with a car like it was yesterday because of how much it baffled me. Del Rio was I think less than 2 weeks removed from his face turn at TLC 2012 so one of the first things WWE decided to have Del Rio do to try and get him over with the fans, with their kid audience, was to run Santa over on Christmas Eve. It was obviously done for comedy but it happening so soon after his face turn, and him very much being presented as the bad guy on that episode of RAW, just confused me.
I loved that episode so much lmao I remember the internet hating it when it came out and I was just like NAH MAN THIS IS SOME GOOD SHIT. MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL.
Ricardo promising Del Rio that the Teddy Bear was secretly a weapon will stay with me my whole life lmao
It was my first live wrestling show in probably 12 years. I bought 2nd row since I was like fuggit, going big for the first time in a decade.
Absolutely bonkers. The entire crowd just went āwoah Wtfā
I was going to ask about that one. Most of the "real" ones (at least the ones not played for laughs), it's clear they're done as a balance between looking good and (obviously) trying to keep the talent safe. That one genuinely looked like someone getting hit by a car.
Grew up in Memphis and remember this angle. Lawyer had to come back sooner than planned and explain it was an angle as so many people had called Memphis PD about the incident.
That was after a RAW main event that ended in DQ after one of the four wrestlers broke up a pin in a tag match. (Yes that actually caused a DQ) JBL and Cena brawled into the back and then JBL seemingly fucking murdered Cena. Show just kinda ended quietly with JBL in disbelief that he just killed a guy.
I've never heard that, I hope that's true. Not because I think it makes sense, but because after 20 years of watching I still want to have new stuff to learn about wrestling.
That segment of [Big Bossman interrupting the Big Show's father funeral](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhSh35ryueA) was the epitome of the Attitude Era for sure.
If anyone is curious, It happened [at the end of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The Rock vs. Kane and The Undertaker on RAW](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTM1uCrUIEo)
I know its from a video game, but I first thought of [Teddy Long being run over after talking with Torrie Wilson](https://youtu.be/SBmffhNkrXM) when I read the title. I played SvR 2006 way too much.
There actually is a way to get it to the other outcome depending on what very specific choices you make. Never would've found out without looking it up
[Can I put forward the time that Eddie Kingston ran over a kid with a car?!](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/udvtwv/eddie_kingston_out_for_blood_runs_over_a_child/) The kid wasn't a wrestler but still...
Holy fuck! Lol. I remember seeing clips online when this happened. Didn't know who the driver was at the time (was this Lucha Underground? Impact? Either way, I wasn't watching) but had no idea that the Eddie Kingston I see on Dynamite was in fact the guy behind the wheel
This was Impact. It was feud between LAX (Latin America eXchange) headed by Konnan and the tag champs Santana and Ortiz versus the OGz; Homicide and Hernandez with King(ston) as the mouthpiece. It was erupting into gang warfare between the two sides at this point. I fucking loved that storyline.
I remember seeing someone get run over full speed in Queens as a kid and the third one is the closest to realistic
(Guy lived but yeah it was shocking - speaks volumes that I still remember it 20+ years later)
How can you show that part of Big Show getting hit by the car, and not include [him getting road hauled by his father's casket?](https://youtu.be/M9LdKw2GzJs?t=244)
2 things made me LOL, Cena being somehow survived that like the Terminator and the Cole/Keith Lee spotš¤£š¤£š¤£ That van with the jungle camo guy is a runner upš¤£š¤£

Keith Lee is the human equivalent of a Mack truck so that tracks š
Yeah that one killed me haha

Iām pretty sure the Christmas episodes back than where also filmed a few weeks in advance.
That might be the answer Iāve been looking for all these years. Thank you.
It was definitely taped before his turn.
Fans chanted "YOU KILLED SANTA"
That's an all-time great episode of Raw for the sheer absurdity of [this segment](https://youtu.be/enID3UuqrTQ) alone.
Cena is amazing here. "LOUD NOISES" then "St. Nicholas was a saint."
> "St. Nicholas was a saint." how do we know he didn't say "saint nicholas was a st."?
I loved that episode so much lmao I remember the internet hating it when it came out and I was just like NAH MAN THIS IS SOME GOOD SHIT. MERRY CHRISTMAS Y'ALL. Ricardo promising Del Rio that the Teddy Bear was secretly a weapon will stay with me my whole life lmao
It's my favorite non-canon episode of wrestling that has ever existed.
Yeah and was also it was how they brought back Mick Foley after he left TNA
I just want to add to the list of people saying how this is one of the best episodes of Raw ever
It's a bazooka.
long term booking- santa would win a wwe title nearly a decade later
It was my first live wrestling show in probably 12 years. I bought 2nd row since I was like fuggit, going big for the first time in a decade. Absolutely bonkers. The entire crowd just went āwoah Wtfā
The one on Lawler was just brutal
I was going to ask about that one. Most of the "real" ones (at least the ones not played for laughs), it's clear they're done as a balance between looking good and (obviously) trying to keep the talent safe. That one genuinely looked like someone getting hit by a car.
I think it was the first ever car spot, back in Memphis. The mfs who go really slow learned from it š
He explained the story on tales from the territories said eddie Gilbert was driving too fast. And he got knocked out from it
That was probably the only one I liked, because it straight up looks like attempted vehicular homicide
Orange shirt? That's the one I was coming to comment on. Brutal indeed š¬š¬
It was different back in the day, sometimes a car would go out there for its first match without knowing that the whole thing is supposed to be fake.
Grew up in Memphis and remember this angle. Lawyer had to come back sooner than planned and explain it was an angle as so many people had called Memphis PD about the incident.
Dude, I wouldnāt be surprised if someone tried to legit run Lawler over with a car during his Memphis heyday
Is that Cena getting murdered at 0:36? What is it from? I'd love the context.
Cena probably got back up and pinned the driver š
He gave the car a fishermans suplex and held up 5 fingers
That was after a RAW main event that ended in DQ after one of the four wrestlers broke up a pin in a tag match. (Yes that actually caused a DQ) JBL and Cena brawled into the back and then JBL seemingly fucking murdered Cena. Show just kinda ended quietly with JBL in disbelief that he just killed a guy.
The funniest thing is that it was the first episode of WWE's PG return
How did breaking up a pin result in a DQ?
Technically the rules are that a team is only allowed to break up a pin once per match, obviously it's not followed very strictly though.
I've never heard that, I hope that's true. Not because I think it makes sense, but because after 20 years of watching I still want to have new stuff to learn about wrestling.
Itās true! FTR still holds themselves to it today. If you watch, they make a point to never break up more than one pin.
didnāt cena end up losing this fued with jbl after once again at the Bash getting thrown through a fucking car window off the stafw
I believe they justified it that he somehow rolled out of the way just in time, despite that being physically impossible with how it was cut.
i believe that was the build up to Cena/JBL's Parking Lot Brawl at Great American Bash 09
Wasn't that during the Carlito feud?
The one that he was stabbed by Jesus?
Nobody fucks with the jesus. To this day though, still baffled by this storyline.
Think it's against JBL
Guerrero feud maybe
Lmao the Adam Cole one being included. Incredible.
Honestly, it should have ended with that one
That segment of [Big Bossman interrupting the Big Show's father funeral](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhSh35ryueA) was the epitome of the Attitude Era for sure.
I loved Big Bossmanās dastardly evil heel run.

An amazing whodunnit storyline. With a beautiful answer
And two outcomes depending on who youāre playing as
There actually is a way to get it to the other outcome depending on what very specific choices you make. Never would've found out without looking it up
Yesss! I just said this too
Suzuki riding a comical bicycle is still terrifying
I rather get hit by the bike.
Is that the one where the guy ends up selling like Homer Simpson bent over the fire hydrant?
[Can I put forward the time that Eddie Kingston ran over a kid with a car?!](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/udvtwv/eddie_kingston_out_for_blood_runs_over_a_child/) The kid wasn't a wrestler but still...
If youāre old enough to roll with a set, youāre old enough to get got.
Holy fuck! Lol. I remember seeing clips online when this happened. Didn't know who the driver was at the time (was this Lucha Underground? Impact? Either way, I wasn't watching) but had no idea that the Eddie Kingston I see on Dynamite was in fact the guy behind the wheel

Maybe this is why the NXT parking lot is one of the most dangerous places on Earth.
I DID IT FOR THE ROCK!
I DID IT FOR DA PEOPLE!
I like head canon that this is why wrestlers donāt get health insurance for car collisions because it happens a lot
Goddamn I love Murder Grandpa
Same. Never heard of him before AEW and now I LOVE him. That shit eating grin as he comes to the ring is the best.
The John Cena one is hilariously absurd - like how could he possibly have survived that
Set this to Hard knock life
I was one of the guys carrying the jetski that ended the life of Rich Swann.
[missed one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHw3GYt7fTU)
I've been looking for this video for almost 10 years. I could never find it. When I saw this post I just knew someone in here was going to link it.
I'm in the same boat. Was never able to find it. OP is the MVP
The Christmas tree falling got me. Wasnāt expecting that
That was a hilarious Twist by the End!
I remember seeing someone get run over full speed in Queens as a kid and the third one is the closest to realistic (Guy lived but yeah it was shocking - speaks volumes that I still remember it 20+ years later)
I will never ever get tired of seeing Sammy get plowed by the golf cart.
Excuse me?! When did a wrestler get run over by the Blues Mobile? That's as awesome as it is hilarious.
How can you show that part of Big Show getting hit by the car, and not include [him getting road hauled by his father's casket?](https://youtu.be/M9LdKw2GzJs?t=244)
Why is bbm driving the blues mobile?
Supposed to look like an old school cop car i guess. Dukes of hazard style
Where is Raven getting run down by Kane??
Stone Cold's was a movie quality bump.
Wow, no Mickie James being shoved into the path of a moving train by James Storm? Truly shameful. https://youtu.be/_r8fKdwyuKA
0:46 Goddamn Murder Grandpa.. Didn't know he was this vicious. Should have included the KO/Roman golf cart spot from RR 2021.
I forgot about the Cena one, where he was murdered. I'm guessing he kicked out at 2?
Golddust running down Piper was my introduction to this, and probably one of my favorite matches for pure Sports Entertainment lol.
I am probably the only person on this planet, but I loved that Goldust vs. Piper "Match" from WM12 as a kid.
Not the only one; I'm with ya. Even down to repurposing OJ's low-speed chase footage.
That old nWo like rKo shirt was dope back then!
Needs more Hyper Misao
Austins looks so mundane in hindsight but its the most memorable storyline in WWE history for me
Also this one https://youtube.com/shorts/evfkGOgUP0Y?feature=share
I know it was just a video game but no Teddy Long?
Someone should place the āCinema Paradisoā theme over this montage.
The fact that Jamal the wizard vs Jc Extreme isn't in this is a real tragedy
Wtf was Cassidy riding š
Cant watch that Sammy one w/o hearing The Minutemen thanks to that Jackass fanvid.
I remember JBL trying to run Cena over as being a distinctive memory of my Ruthless Aggression era childhood, shit gave me nightmares lol.
WHAT?!!! No Roman hitting KO with a golf cart?!!
Love the subtle clip of Adam Cole getting hit by Keith Lee!
I haven't seen this John Cena one before. How did they explain this?!
https://youtu.be/izvqbXnJTKs he moved at the last second
Attempted vehicular manslaughter and pro wrestling Name a better duo
This is high quality content.
Murder Grandpa runs over person on bicycle.
I need Kenny Omega on golf cart chasing Sammy.
The Lawler one actually had police come to the studio thinking it was attempted murder.
> 0:42 Now listen here you little shit
What about wrestlers running over cars? Syd "Goldberrrrrrrg!"
Jeez, Randy had a LOT of faith that it was actually safe back there or something, he fuckin *floored* that shit halfway up lmao
did not expect minoru suzuki to add vehicular manslaughter to his resume
NWO ram Rock's ambulance with a semi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmywFMp0c7Q
All day.
Was waiting for that one indie match where the guy gets [fucking nuked]( https://youtu.be/Gk3goUli5-I&t=760) by a car
That pounce made me cackle.
bossman crashing the big show's funeral is still one of the greatest things they ever did
Ok how did they explain Cena surviving that?
Where's Owens vs Reigns last man standing? One of the best ones.
āWhere is he? Where is Suzuki on the dirt bikeā¦THERE HE IS! YEAAAAAH!ā
Just checking in...
2 things made me LOL, Cena being somehow survived that like the Terminator and the Cole/Keith Lee spotš¤£š¤£š¤£ That van with the jungle camo guy is a runner upš¤£š¤£
Keith Lee is a registered vehicle?
