What is the best show World Wrestling Entertainment ever put on? Was it a landmark pay-per-view like WrestleMania X-Seven or WrestleMania XXX, or a consistently great weekly show like “SmackDown Six” era SmackDown, or NXT? Those are all fine, but what if the best thing WWE ever produced was an esoteric YouTube show?

Southpaw Regional Wrestling was a short-lived comedy consisting of footage from a fictional small-time wrestling promotion in the 1980s, with various WWE performers playing goofball gimmick wrestlers, commentators, and other on-screen talent. It’s legitimately hilarious and weird — closer to Firefly Funhouse than The Edge and Christian Show That Totally Reeks of Awesomeness — so let’s check out some of the best moments from the best show.

10 The Charismatic John Johnson (Season 1, Episode 1)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: John Johnson

While much of Southpaw Season 1 is concerned with the hottest angle of 1987, dramatic breakup of Chad 2 Badd and Tex Ferguson, the first episode introduces fans to the promotion’s top champion, the reasonably named John Johnson. Played by TJP, John Johnson is touted as a charismatic star by Southpaw host Lance Catamaran (John Cena), but is, in fact, stiff as a board and nearly monosyllabic.

While trying to cut a promo, he fails to wrest the microphone from the hands of the interviewer, after which Catamaran sums up the segment as “riveting.”

9 “We Eat Chickens!” (Season 1, Episode 2)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Clint Bobski interviews Big Bartholomew

Besides John Cena’s deadpan delivery as Lance Catamaran, the funniest character in Southpaw Regional Wrestling is easily Big Bartholomew, played by Rusev.

Bolstered with the world’s worst Southern accent and wheat straw hanging out of his mouth, Big Bartholomew not only mispronounces the name of his opponent, Mr. Mackelroy, but also descends into an incoherent promo about how he was fighting for the farmers in the 1900s who worked hard and had nothing but chickens. The promo cuts out abruptly as Big Bartholomew exclaims “We eat chickens!”

8 The Ballad of Tex Ferguson (Season 1, Episode 3)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Tex Ferguson

The aforementioned falling out between Chad 2 Badd (Karl Anderson) and Tex Ferguson (Luke Gallows) is full of huge moments throughout — Tex may have all these nice cars, but Chad has a new green jacket — but this feud really heats up in Episode 3. When Southpaw checks in on Tex, he’s suddenly got a new accessory: an eyepatch.

Turns out that Chad 2 Badd had paid Bad News Allen to attack Ferguson and take out one of his eyes. Later, the show rejoins Chad, who’s suddenly got another eyepatch, this time at the hands of “Classy” Freddie Blassie.

7 Release The Kraken (Season 1, Episode 4)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: The Sea Creature

It’s all leading up to Lethal Leap Year (February 29th, 8pm at the County Fairgrounds, tickets available at Rusty’s Pool Hall), and Big Bartholomew is set to take on “The Banker” Mr. Mackelroy (Tyler Breeze) to win back his farm.

However, in that old pro wrestling trope, Big Bartholomew didn’t read the contract, and actually must fight a wrestler of The Banker’s choice: The Sea Creature, a.k.a. a guy in a green bodysuit and a dinosaur mask. As for Lethal Leap Year, that show never happens, as it’s revealed at the end of the episode that 1987 is not a leap year.

6 Malibu Al (Season 2, Episode 1)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Malibu Al

Season 2 of Southpaw Regional Wrestling jumps back to 1986 and features characters who weren’t in the first season, including AJ Styles in a wig as Malibu Al, a car salesman who’s become a sponsor of the show.

Malibu Al’s Car Emporium appears to exclusively sell station wagons, which Malibu Al assures viewers is perfect for a family — or, if one doesn’t have a family, there’s ample room in the back to make one.

5 Coming Soon (Season 2, Episode 2)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Debbie Desperado

The second episode of Season 2 delivers a mysterious hype video for Debbie Desperado (Natalya), who will end up being the first female competitor in SRW. The style of the vignette is very “modern,” with impressions of Debbie sans actual information, which confuses co-host Chett Chetterfield (Fandango), who sums it up as “a lady tapping her boot?”

In response, Lance Catamaran laughs off the idea of a lady in Southpaw, choosing to assume that the upcoming debut is that of a small man. Great satire of wrestling’s approach to female talent in bygone days.

4 Doing It For Dewey (Season 2, Episode 3)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Dewey Jackson is missing

One of the various subplots of Southpaw Season 2 concerns the whereabouts of wrestler Dewey Jackson, who mysteriously disappeared, though Lance Catamaran suggests that he’s merely “a man who might have simply walked off in the night and needs to come back to us.”

To benefit (?) the safe return of Jackson, Southpaw’s upcoming Showdown at the Swamp is set to hold a special tournament called Doing It For Dewey. Featuring Elvis impersonator Pelvis Wesley (Heath Slater), cowboy Porkchop Jones (Jason Jordan), and charismatic dynamo John Johnson, it’s revealed that no one actually wanted to take part in the tournament until it was revealed that there would, in fact, be a winner’s purse.

3 Top Guns (Season 2, Episode 4)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Top Guns

No old school wrestling promotion would be complete without some trend-chasing cash-ins, and Episode 4 of Season 2 delivers the goods with The Ascension playing Top Guns. Not to be confused with WCW’s Air Raid, Top Guns blatantly rip off the 1986 Tony Scott classic, quotes and all.

As soon as the promo ends, the show cuts to Lance Catamaran, who finds out that the name has to be changed to The Danger Zone. This is all extra funny because it retroactively transforms the one-off appearance of The Ascension as “Surf Dudes with Attitudes,” in Season 1 into a joke about the guys being repackaged due to legal issues.

2 Adam Düng Gets Vüdü’d (Season 2, Episode 5)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Voo & Doo

Consummate heel The Miz plays pure babyface “Astonishing” Adam Düng, a terrible promo with a great afro and set to take The Banker’s $10,000 challenge. That is to say he would take the challenge, but it turns out that The Banker has hired Voo and Doo (Xavier Woods and Big E) to torment pure Düng via voodoo doll.

To make matters worse/even funnier, nearly everyone on the show ignores the umlaut in Adam Düng’s name, instead pronouncing it “Adam Dung.”

1 Don’t You Forget About Me (Season 2, Episode 6)

Southpaw Regional Wrestling: Susan & Adam Dung

The stacked final episode of Southpaw Regional Wrestling not only delivers a rousing musical performance by Nicci Lee Styxxx (Dolph Ziggler), but also an epilogue explaining what happened to the characters, not unlike the end of American Graffiti or Can’t Hardly Wait.

These are all pretty great, including Malibu Al getting arrested, The Banker selling his Apple stock prematurely, Debbie Desperado still having no female opponent in the promotion, and Lance Catamaran being cursed to continue hosting the show. Lance deserved better than he got — after all, he was a news anchor in Utica, upstate New York, for six weeks.
