10 Forgotten Wrestling War Moments

5. Cookiegate

Remember when DX INVADED WCW on a TANK?!? Of course you do. WWE have shown it approximately fifty thousand times since. 

Do you remember when TNA ‘invaded’ WWE’s 2005 West Side Story-themed Royal Rumble commercial shoot with cookies and balloons? Probably not, because there was no ‘tank’.

WWE cared a lot about it at the time, even though they should have probably expected it since they were filming on a Universal Studios soundstage not far from where TNA taped their TV. 

Abyss, Traci Brooks, Shane Douglas, Konnan and BG ‘Road Dogg’ James showed up to greet the WWE crew, with the idea that there would be some juicy confrontation, but nothing much came of it. 

They did film several members of the WWE roster – including Luther Reigns, Eddie Guerrero and a maskless Rey Mysterio – which prompted WWE’s legal department to request the footage be handed over, lest Jerry McDevitt start flexing his legal muscles. 

TNA didn’t surrender the tape and in fact aired a heavily-edited version several weeks later at their Turning Point pay-per-view. 

It wasn’t exactly a home run or anything, but it did annoy people within WWE.
