Establishing Character Moment/Professional Wrestling

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The debut of Kharma (the former Awesome Kong) in WWE. While the vignettes that had been airing painted her as no one to be trifled with, her first actual appearance came at Extreme Rules 2011, where she came out after Michelle McCool lost a Loser Leaves Town match. She took her time getting to the ring and stalked an absolutely terrified McCool (a multiple time Women's/Diva's champion, mind you) for a good two minutes before getting in the ring and completely destroying her with an Implant Buster, then cackled insanely while the rest of the WWE Divas division looked on in horror from the locker room, knowing they are monumentally screwed.
  • Stone Cold Steve Austin when he became King of the Ring 1996 "You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your psalms, talk about John 3:16...Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass!"
    • When he first became Stone Cold, he refused to wrestle a jobber and lost by forfeit. Then he came back and beat up the guy anyway.
  • Umaga debuted in WWE by utterly demolishing Ric Flair.
  • Goldberg made his WCW debut by Jackhammering the nearly 350-pound Hugh Morrus and pinning him.
  • Sin Cara's WWE debut introduced both his flying-trampoline ring entry stunt and his general ability otherwise to virtually fly into the lights. In a run-in against Sheamus.
  • "The Macho Man" Randy Savage debuted in the WWF dressed in a gaudy purple robe that makes Ric Flair look modest.
