References to game shows in places you wouldn’t expect to find them
PYLdude:
So a couple of nights ago, on AEW Dynamite, there was a sequence where one of the wrestlers hit the other with a move called a blockbuster. One of the commentators on the show happened to drop Bill Cullen’s name in his reaction to the move, which I certainly wasn’t expecting to hear. Proper context too, which was the best part.
So it got me thinking: where have some of the most obscure/weird places you’ve seen someone drop a game show reference in reaction to something?

In a similar vein, I was surprised to hear NASCAR announcer Mike Joy reference Johnny Carson's Who Do You Trust? during a Cup Series race last year.

Totally missed this because I had it on in the background while I was fighting with my virtual pinball PC. Which match was this?

Mark Briscoe vs. Jay Lethal.
OT: the blockbuster has been a fave of mine for a lotta years, if for nothing else but for how tough it can be to pull off right without wrestler A landing wrong. It’s beautiful in its execution, IMO.

Huh, I was paying attention to that too. Fortunately they put that whole episode up on the YouTubes so it's easy to go back and check.
