 What Are The Best Pro Wrestling Segments Of All Time.

Written By Patrick O'malley.

Intro.

The art of the noble Pro Wrestling Segment is a known staple of any weekly TV show, as the decades have gone on, these moments have gone down in infamy, from Austin getting arrested, and escorted from the arena. Shane Mcmahon out smarting his old man, and buying WCW, and we can't forget about Steiner Math, however i've decided to check out the best ones from over the decades. So sit back, get yourself a drink of something cold, and i'll get into it.

5. MJF vs Wardlow.

Taking place in the build up to AEW Double Or Nothing 2022, This segment would deal with the consequences of Wardlows actions from Revolution the prior March. Max was at his verbal best as he laid insults into his former bodyguard, this led to Wardlow getting ten lashes from his former boss. This has been hailed by some fans as one of the best segments that AEW has been commited to producing, and i'm going to be honest, this one, has to be one of my favourites.

4. Cm Punk vs MJF.

Taking place not soon after Full Gear 2021, and if i'm being honest, I didn't have this on my bingo card that year, mind you no one had Cm Punk returning to the industry that spat him out just seven years before this. Both men took fiery shots at one and other, and you could tell that this wasn't just the standard promo, because what we got treated to was pure and utter virile hate, spewing out from both mens lips, this was the perfect blend of backstage politics starting to play out, as real distain became evident. This would start off one of AEW's best ever told storylines.

3. This Is Your Life.

In the year of 1999, the heat that surrounded the WWF was palpable in a positive way. Business was up, Live attendences were breaking arena records, and the TV viewership was breathing life into TV schedules across the globe, thanks to its colourful stars. Step Forward The Rock, and. Mankind. On one late September Rar Is War Who Shall Not Be Named gave them the stage, and they didn't just deliver, they smashed it. This was sexual toilet humour, being served to the young audience, and fans ate it up. This is the segment from this period that I always come back tp, and it never fails to make me smile. Who's up for a slice of, um, pie. Because i'm hungry.

2. Le Dinner Debonair.

This aired on the 21st of October edition of AEW Dynamite. You know that this was a gold standard segment when Jim Cornette slates it. This segment was the perfect blend of comedy, and musical theatre being placed on a weekly TV show, as it folded in multiple differant storylines. I don't have many nice feelings about Chris Jericho these days, but this took place in a time when he still had a bit of minor of credibility. He and MJF bounced off of each other with pure comedic effect, and it worked with ease. It's been said before that apparently Chris Jericho, and. Tony Khan sat in an editing room together for hours, and it made it to air, just minutes before the broadcast went live. I still watch this now, and it never fails to make me laugh. I heard a story that Cm Punk loved it, because of the line. Hey Young Bucks screw you. Did you see what I did there, a bit of humour can go a long way. I mean just ask my shadow.

1. The Trial Of Sami Zayn.

This is arguably the best segment that WWE have ever committed to a weekly TV Show. Take yourself back to January 23rd 2023 edition of Monday Night Raw, this wasn't just a segment, it was a celebration of drama being played on the 30th anniversary of WWE's weekly flagship show. Romans Grooming of Sami Zayn is some of the most captivating TV that WWE has ever produced, and having this 16 minute long segment play out the way that it did just days before the 2023 Royal Rumble was a smart piece of booking, and business. Monday Night Raw has seen it's fair share of gravity shifting segments and moments, from Stone Cold Steve Austin attacking He Who Shall Not Be Named in a hospital. The Festival Of Friendship, John Cena putting a verbal beating on a sucker'n suckertash loving Roman Reigns. Mick Foley turning back the years, and becoming Cactus Jack, and Chris Jericho debuting on the mic against The Rock, but this one out did all of them. The dramatised potioning was on point, as the tension between The Bloodline members escolated as the segment went on. This is flawless TV at its very best. This is a must watch.

Overview of this Piece.

You guys know that i've been watching Pro Wrestling for nearly over three decades, and i've seen loads of things that I love, whilst watching tons of what i've hated, the basis behind this piece was real simple, I decided to focus on the things that I loved, instead of focusing on the things that I hate, because when you take a look outside your window, there's enough hate in the world, and if i'm being honest, there's no need for it. So take my advice, embrace the love, and never ever let hate win.
