We're talking about the kind of stuff that made you jump off your couch, spill your drink, and question everything you thought you knew about sports entertainment. From shocking betrayals to unbelievable stunts, WWE has always delivered the unexpected, and we’re here to relive the best of the best.

Top 5 Craziest WWE Moments

1. The Montreal Screwjob

Okay, let’s kick things off with a moment so infamous, it’s simply known as “The Montreal Screwjob.” This one went down at Survivor Series in 1997, and it’s still debated to this day. Bret “The Hitman” Hart, the then-WWF Champion, was set to face Shawn Michaels. The real-life tension between Bret and Vince McMahon was already sky-high because Bret was leaving for WCW, and Vince feared he would take the title with him.

The match itself was intense, as you’d expect from these two legends. But the real craziness began when Shawn locked Bret in the Sharpshooter, Bret’s signature submission move. Referee Earl Hebner, on Vince McMahon’s orders, called for the bell even though Bret hadn’t submitted. The crowd was stunned, Bret was beyond furious, and Shawn Michaels looked like he’d seen a ghost. Bret spat at Vince, destroyed some equipment, and the wrestling world changed forever.

Why is this so crazy? Well, it blurred the lines between reality and fiction in a way that had never been done before. It showed the sheer power Vince McMahon wielded and how far he was willing to go to protect his company. The aftermath was nuclear, with Bret leaving for WCW under a cloud of resentment and the “Mr. McMahon” character being born out of the controversy. The Montreal Screwjob remains a stark reminder of the unpredictable and often cutthroat nature of the wrestling business. It's a defining moment that continues to captivate and enrage fans decades later, cementing its place as one of the most insane things to ever happen in WWE.

2. Mankind's Hell in a Cell Plunge

Next up, we have a moment that’s not just crazy, it’s downright terrifying. King of the Ring 1998: Mankind versus The Undertaker in a Hell in a Cell match. Now, Hell in a Cell matches are already brutal, but what happened to Mankind that night was on a whole other level of insanity. From the start, the match was a chaotic brawl. Both men were throwing each other into the steel cage, setting a grim tone for what was to come.

Then, the unthinkable happened. The Undertaker chokeslammed Mankind off the top of the cell. Mankind plummeted through the announce table below. Jim Ross’s commentary – “Good God almighty! Good God almighty! They’ve killed him!” – perfectly captured the shock and horror of the moment. But incredibly, Mankind got up. Patches of blood were visible, but he insisted on continuing the match. And then, it got worse.

Later in the match, Mankind was back on top of the cell. This time, The Undertaker threw him off again, this time sending him crashing through the cell roof and into the ring below. This second fall was arguably even more gruesome, with a chair landing on Mankind's face as he fell. How Mankind finished the match, let alone walked out of the arena, is beyond comprehension. This moment is a testament to Mankind’s insane toughness (or perhaps lack of self-preservation) and remains one of the most shocking and brutal scenes in WWE history. Seriously, guys, don't try this at home!

3. Brock Lesnar Breaks The Undertaker's Streak

WrestleMania XXX. The Undertaker. The Streak. For over two decades, The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania was one of the most sacred and untouchable things in WWE. Twenty-one men had tried and failed to conquer The Deadman on the grandest stage of them all. Legends like Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Randy Orton had all fallen victim to the streak. It seemed like nothing could ever break it. Then came Brock Lesnar.

The match itself was a slugfest, with both men trading blows. But as the match wore on, it became clear that The Undertaker was not his usual self. He looked sluggish and worn down, and Brock Lesnar was relentless. The crowd started to get an uneasy feeling. Could this be it? Then, it happened. Brock Lesnar hit The Undertaker with an F5… one… two… three! The arena went silent. Utter disbelief. Some fans thought it was a mistake. Others were openly weeping. The Streak was over.

The shock of that moment cannot be overstated. It was like a collective gut punch to the entire WWE Universe. The Undertaker’s aura of invincibility was shattered, and a piece of wrestling history was gone forever. Whether it was the right decision is still debated, but there’s no denying the sheer, jaw-dropping craziness of that moment. It was a seismic shift in WWE, proving that absolutely anything can happen, even the unthinkable.

4. Stone Cold Steve Austin Drives a Zamboni

Time for something a little less brutal but equally crazy. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the epitome of anti-authority, a beer-swilling rebel who did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. And one of his most memorable rebellious acts involved a Zamboni. It was 1998, and Vince McMahon was, as usual, trying to make Stone Cold’s life a living hell. After one particularly frustrating encounter, Stone Cold decided to take matters into his own hands – literally.

As Vince McMahon was in the ring, gloating about his latest scheme, the arena suddenly rumbled. The entrance ramp parted, and there he was: Stone Cold Steve Austin, driving a Zamboni straight towards the ring! The crowd went wild! It was such an unexpected and over-the-top act of defiance that it instantly became legendary. Stone Cold proceeded to drive the Zamboni around the ring, chasing Vince McMahon and generally causing chaos. Security guards were helpless, Vince was terrified, and the fans were loving every second of it.

This moment perfectly encapsulated the “Attitude Era” of WWE: brash, irreverent, and completely unpredictable. It was a pure example of Stone Cold’s rebellious spirit and his willingness to go to any lengths to stick it to the man. The image of Stone Cold driving a Zamboni is forever etched in the minds of wrestling fans, a testament to the sheer craziness and entertainment value of the Attitude Era. It's moments like these that remind us why we love wrestling!

5. The Anonymous Raw General Manager

Remember that time when Raw had an anonymous General Manager who communicated through a laptop? Yeah, that was pretty crazy. For over a year, from 2010 to 2011, the GM would send emails to Michael Cole (yes, that Michael Cole), who would then read them aloud to the audience. It was a bizarre and often frustrating storyline that kept everyone guessing.

The Anonymous GM made some truly outlandish decisions, from booking bizarre matches to interfering in championship bouts. The mystery surrounding their identity fueled speculation and intrigue, with everyone from Triple H to Stephanie McMahon being suspected at various points. The whole thing was just so… weird. A faceless, nameless authority figure dictating the direction of Raw through email? It was a far cry from the days of Vince McMahon strutting around the ring, but it definitely kept things interesting.

Eventually, the Anonymous GM was revealed to be Hornswoggle, Vince McMahon’s illegitimate son. Yes, Hornswoggle. The reveal was met with a collective groan from the WWE Universe. After all the build-up and speculation, it was a hugely anticlimactic and disappointing conclusion. But despite the underwhelming reveal, the Anonymous Raw General Manager storyline remains one of the most memorable and undeniably crazy periods in WWE history. It was a bold experiment that, while flawed, certainly kept us talking.

Conclusion
