Truth is one of the most hilarious and underrated legends of the industry. Dude legit can make anyone break character and any segment at any show hilarious 😆

I'm literally wearing my ancient Santino shirt right now. He was so great, never afraid to make fun of himself or anyone else. I'll never forget the reaction the crowd had to him when the WWE came to my city to wrestle. We all lost our minds.

[@davidshulimson9491]

In the middle of an angry and intense promo, Sid Vicious coughed. And politely said "Excuse me." And went right back to his promo. That will always be my favorite moment of breaking character.

[@jdubbs011]

Amidst Covid 19 and that's funny!!?? Help us all!!

@@jdubbs011 For some reason, I'm just now seeing your comment. Sid Vicious' promo was about 25 or 30 years before Covid. So, yeah, it was rather funny.

[@vicpitch98]

I love that when Cena was laughing at the crowd booing Vickie, she broke character too 😂

[@Jameslawz]

Fun Fact: The People's Elbow was actually created by The Rock to try and make The Undertaker break Kayfabe and there were lockeroom competitions too see who could make The Dead Man smile or laugh. The leg shaking part was so ridiculous it almost broke Taker in the early years and The Rock kept it.

[@Ivotas]

Cena's reaction at "Used to is a rooster from Brewster" get's me every time. The slow resignation in his face that seems to be saying "well what do you expect me to do guys, this one is just too good". XD

[@connorohalloran1636]

Randy Orton breaking character is gold

[@mynamisrazzberryazzy]

There was a time when The Undertaker broke character at a house show when after a match Kurt Angle kissed him before leaving the ring. The undertaker grabbed a mic and said something along the lines of "It's a long way home"

[@andrejatodorovic5916]

Back then he was American Badass so it doesn't really matter 😁

[@HBKDXHHH100]

My favourite moment of The Rock breaking characters was a segment he did with Team Rhode Scholars… They ask the Rock which film won an Oscar for best picture and someone in the crowd shouts out “The Tooth Fairy” and he breaks 😂

[@mysite1012]

11:28 that will forever be my favorite Randy Orton moment. His reaction was PRICELESS 😂

[@ElMundoDeHadesOK]

I think Foley's "It Doesn't Matter" to the rock is by FAR the funniest character break in the old days xD

Orton wasn't breaking character most of the time, he was selling the promo.

Lol Paul Heyman making Roman Reigns Break Character during the Daniel Bryan 10-bell Salute on Smackdown was absolutely hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@navtektv]

What I like that Romans managed to do is to incorporate that large smile and head shake in to the Tribal Chiefs persona so even in character he does smile and indulge until things need to get serious and them someone gets smashed.

[@Hoeslapper17]

Honestly, I love when they break character. It reminds us they're human.

[@davidspells3484]

Roman was trying to contain his laughter when he said:'I've got Sami and Jey out there in the world working on becoming a Little More Ucey.' 😂

[@truthseeker6532]

"YOUR NOT EVEN IN THE MATCH!!!!!" Truth is Incredible!!!!!

[@kyle2931]

Rumor has it, Solo Sikoa was dying-laughing from the whole Ucey and Sami Uso thing. 🤣

[@jeremychaffin3733]

Highkey, it's always gonna be a good time whenever a wrestler, or performer in this industry in general, breaks character. I know everyone is gonna love it no matter how upset exects get. To add to this, I believe R-Truth and Santino are the best in the art of breaking, and should be future legends to be remembered for that, along with their skills in the ring.

[@anujith9697]

Lesner is hands down the craziest entertainer out there, remember him attempting a shooting star?

[@jeansandu1612]

He did another one before that and it landed great. For a man that size ,is amazing.

[@redrick8900]

He used to do those all the time in OVW. He only botched it at Mania because he had never tried it after an hour long match.

[@dbszady]

@@redrick8900 I think it more to do with the distance. Kurt was too far away so instead of going for height to complete the summersault Lesnar had to jump close to the middle of the ring

[@redrick8900]

@@dbszady No. That's the distance he normally did it at. He just botched because he was exhausted. I watched that match with a guy who trained with him. I went to OVW.

[@peterschmidt9942]

When I was younger, there was a lot of wrestlers I didn't particular like (as you don't generally like the heels as a child). But watching some of documentaries about these older wrestlers (Like The Iron Sheik, Roddy Piper etc), you realise how funny they actually were. I think Santino even said it himself that his intension was to make wrestlers loose it. R-Truth's been a staple throughout the years trying to crack people up. It was pretty funny when he went to NXT recently. At the moment I think Sammy Zahn holds that crown, or maybe even Danhausen.

[@claytonclifford2323]

Tip my cap to Sami Zayn for the “He just hasn’t been feelin very “Ucey” lately” line lol cause that was great

This video is excellent. Not sure how long it must have taken to collate all these clips (some of which are very obscure), but it's an excellent job. It might not be as polished as the bigger content providers such as Cultaholic or WhatCulture, but it's definitely more enjoyable. An ECW vs WWF/WCW.

[@Justin_L_Smith_]

My favorite with Taker is where he teamed with Kurt Angle against Stone Cold & Booker T. In a back stage segment, Kurt comes out in glasses & hand band like Taker & he reacts almost immediately. Then he has to grunt & cover his mouth to keep from laughing as Kurt says, "You're an American Badass. I'm an Olympic Gold Medalast. If you put Stone Cold & Booker together, you get a horse's ass."

[@answer4256]

I remember back when NXT was the reality style contest and Bruan Danielson was a contestant...they had him debating Miz with other wrestlers on stage as judges with two particular wrestlers CM Punk and Wiiliam Reagal sitting next to each other. Miz asked him if he thought he was a better wrestler than him and the camera panned to Punk and Reagal where both were grinning and shaking their heads saying YES! That was hilarious!
