Muppet Mentions[]

Sunny Elmo
  • January 11, 1997: On WWF Shotgun Saturday Night, Sunny promises to show everyone her "Home Sex Video." The video starts with her in her "lair of love" with her favorite Christmas present, a Tickle Me Elmo, the hottest Christmas present of the season. She reveals that the special man in her life, who she makes love to each and every single night is Tickle Me Elmo's big, strong, bad, older brother "Fondle Me Elmo," who comes in wearing a black thong. She turns out the light and assorted sex noises are made. When the lights come back on, Fondle Me Elmo proclaims he needs a cigarette and asks where his pants and his *BOING sound effect* are.
  • In the 1999 documentary Beyond the Mat, WWF Senior Vice President of Merchandising Jim Bell claimed the following:
"There's a direct similarity between WWF and the Muppets. Family owned company, whole business based in performance and characters, with real human beings playing characters. In our case, they just don't happen to be using puppets."
  • During a spring 2001 edition of WWF's Monday Night Raw, in a promotional segment for what would have been the relaunch of WCW, Shane McMahon was saying what his new "W-C-W" abbreviation would stand for, and said "C... is for cookie. And that's good enough for me!"
