Russo swerve

Any time a wrestling angle takes a shocking, unexpected and senseless twist. Can be applied to the real world any time something completely unexpected (and absurd) happens. Named after pro wrestling writer Vince Russo, who made this completely random form of plot twist commonplace during his time in the WWE, and to an even greater extent during his time in WCW, where he used the Russo Swerve so much that it was considered shocking when a Russo Swerve DIDN'T occur.

*Kenmore delivery man comes to the door*

Kenmore Guy: Here's the fridge you ordered, sir

*brings a huge box into the house*

You: Ah, wonderful! This new refrigerator will look lovely with my East Indian dinette set! Open the box, and let's take a look at it!

*Kenmore guy opens up the box to reveal a donkey*

Kenmore guy: It's a Russo swerve! *runs away*

You: WTF?

Donkey: HEE HAW
