Honorable mention: During Kurt Angles debut babyface run he kept getting booed. Vince relayed the ref to tell Kurt to insult the crowd, so he took the mike and said "Listen here, you do not boo an Olympic gold medalist!" and a heel superstar was born

Mick Foley calling an audible against Triple H at Royal Rumble 2000. Instead of doing a single pedigree and that’s that. Mick kicked out (to a legit shocked Trips) and told his ring partner to do another one onto the thumbtacks in the ring. Made both look like beasts, just for opposite reasons. And made an epic match that much better.

Actually, Al Snow came up with the Socko idea, Foley asked him for the dumbest/cheesiest idea possible for when he visited Vince in hospital and Snow suggested a Sock Puppet, the next show a load of fans had "mr socko" signs and it went from there

3:20 Note: Al Snow came up with the Mr Socko idea👍🏽

Nia Jax literally was her own category of why things are horrible lmao

The kick preceding the Stunner was also inspired by Jake Roberts' short-arm clothesline that he did as a setup to the DDT.

"Not enough Gangrel" in the background at the beginning, had me laughing

the flair flop is the best thing ever... easily one of my fav thing whenever i watched one of his matches.

WhatCulture Wrestling: If it doesn't include the Pipebomb or Montreal Screw Job, is it really a list?

5:25 "Old Hacksaw experimented with a bunch of different things before finally breaking out in wrestling." Yeah, cocaine mainly, I'd imagine

You missed out one of the most important: Giant Baba changing the result of the GOAT Misawa Mitsuharu vs Jumbo Tsuruta. Baba saw and heard the support the crowd had for Misawa before the event began on June 8th 1990, so he sent a messenger backstage to change the result for Misawa to win shortly before they went out there. This launched the greatest era in pro wrestling history.

In that same promo, stone cold also gave us the line "and thats the bottom line, cause stone cold says so" for the first time

How come nobody ever mentions the time JBL thought it was a good idea to beat the shit out of the Blue Meanie?

"Not enough Gangrel." Couldn't agree more.

Regarding the Flair Flop, I was watching some boxing highlights and a guy got hit so hard, he went down popped back up and then went down again. You could tell he had no control of himself. It wasn't as refined as the Flair Flop but it certainly reminded me of it. So it's not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

So on smackdown vs raw 06 the flair flop was a taunt, and if you were in a last man standing match and you used it, you could lose the match with it 😂 man i miss those old video games.

Overscripting really is the biggest issue imo. Give your stars the outline, let them cut their own promo, and work from there. Everything flows better when they arent trying to remember their lines and they can just let themselves get caught up in the moment and fire off a line. Maybe some will flop, but that happens with the scripted events anyways. The guys who can sell the promos and the fights are the ones who deserve their spot on the roster. Not whoever vince randomly decides will be the next big thing no matter what the fans think. Show some flexibility in the writer room, work with what the crowds like and hate. Most of all, give vince some freaking thorazine so he can relax his stranglehold on the company a bit.

Scott hall should've at least be wwe champion once.

The People's Elbow was made to get the Undertaker to break character. The dumbest move became the most electrifying move and yet it doesn't make the list.

RKO. - you mean the Diamond Cutter outta know where

Mr. Socko toughest gym sock ever

"not enough gangrel" lol

John Cena got his "you can't see me" from Tony Yayo.. Yayo had just got back from jail and did it in his "So Seductive" video with G-Unit

It really feels like the Pipe Bomb is mentioned on this channel once a week.

Cena got the hand gesture from from Tony Yayo of G-Unit. He’s said that many times. He brother put him up to doing it on tv.

You forgot "What?" From Stone Cold. He said that after he messed up his line in the ring. And he just kept saying it until it caught fire. What?

You should really look into how the People's Elbow came to be - a joke by HHH and Rock on trying to get Undertaker to laugh.

I told you wrestling got worse since gangrel left 😪

I never thought the Montreal Screwjob was a work BUT... Bret Hart, the guy who had big heat with Shawn, and had no heat with Diesel but STILL refused to take his finish in their 96 cage match, let Shawn put him in his OWN finish?? Something about that always seemed off.

The mandible claw was supposed to be painful because it's fingers in your mouth under your tongue and the thumb under your chin, trying to touch the two together. At least that's how it first started from what I remember. Don't quote me on that

Undertaker eye roll was a spontaneous decision. Legendary.

It's funny that Nia Jax gets her own problem pot.

Cena still getting props for stealing from Tony Yayo

John Cena actually took the “U can’t see me” gesture from Tony Yayo of GUnit who used to do that gesture in all 50 Cent/ GUnit videos

"Not enough Gangrel" 😂😂😂

Great job on the video.🍻

(raises hand politely) Actually, Mr. Socko was originally Al Snow's idea. When coming up with ideas for the skit where Mankind tries to cheer up a recovering, bed-ridden Vince, Al Snow suggested using a sock puppet. And Mr. Socko was born... Come to think about it, between that and Steve Austin's bedpan shot, a lot of classic moments happened while Vince was in that hospital bed.

'So notorious it makes christopher wallace look like christipher biggins' only the top tier people will get this one

"Tony Montana (Hannah's dad)" I simultaneously hate and love this channel so much hahahahaha

New drinking game. Every time some one from whatculture says “chick magnet” drink!

Hahaha "not enough Gangrel" just caught that in corner at beginning, fuckin awesome...clever as well as true.

Simon got them crazy eyes. I kinda like your old narration more- it looks and sounds annoyed lately as opposed to the light hearted style from older videos. I dunno- it’s nothing bad, just different. I still love your channel though. This channel frequently brings up old and varied wrestling matches from back in the day, which prompts me to watch those matches which bring back awesome memories.

Be Simon. Be Simon. Be Simon. Damn

Simon' father is actually Christopher Daniels

Damn. I guess Scott Hall really wanted to be Tony Montana...stole his character, then the drugs.

Top Christopher Biggins reference. Merry Christmas

Another thing I think I read from an old WWE Magazine way back was Hacksaw Jim Duggan randomly yelled HOOO after he got a splinter from a 2x4 And it became his catchphrase lol

Mr. Socko - "Credit to him" Nope - credit to Al Snow. When the hospital visit segment was being built, Mick was trying to think of more ridiculous things to bring as presents like the balloons and Yurple The Clown. Al suggested a sock puppet. Mick admitted this in his first book.

Guys please just add some clips after you explain it. You guys are informative and interesting the only thing that doesn't make you guys the "go-to" videos for me is the missing clips of the event happening. I mean I wanna see the video of the things you guys are explaining so that it becomes more clear rather than just pictures.

Joey Ryan's weenie is now the most infamous in wrestling now😂

3:36 I don't think this will ever end. 22 years later, it still sparks debate

"Not enough Gangrel" hahahaha

That Notorious B.I.G. Reference!

The U can’t C Me is a homage to the Yayo Dance by rapper Tony Yayo who used to do something similar in his videos

When Simon Miller came up I smiled

Oh that's easy, if Scott hall did that soldier gimmick in WWF it would have went over as well as his time as the Diamond Stud or Nash as OZ in WCW. Seriously look up Kevin Nash OZ WCW it's hilarious almost as hilarious as when he was repacked as Vinnie Vegas

Stone Cold also added the double middle fingers as part of his set up to the Stunner

The intercontinental title was so much more back then that being IC champ was a big deal...sooo ya, I think that’s why. To be World Champ was only for the elite back then too (or political).

Socko was a bit in the Vince in hospital bit

And Number 1.......... FIRING ADAM

Amazing

A lot of people liked JBL on commentary, especially during royal rumble matches.

The U Can't See Me dance was created by Tony Yayo from G-Unit, he does it in 50 Cents In tha Club video

The Pan-American Highway ain't got shit on length compared to Simon Miller trying to get a point across

I wished WWE would go back to those days where they weren’t so scripted

Ya but they didn't have to deal with thousands of lawsuits coming in like rain. It's hard to allow creativity to flourish when a few wrong words or a couple wrong interpretations could literally shut you down.

I love that one of those reasons was Nia Jax. Lol

Not enough Gangrel. LOL, I love it. However, you really skipped the much better story of Mr. Socko, he was an improvized bit, but it was in a promo where Vince was in the hospital (due to a beating from Stone Cold) and Mankind was trying to cheer Vince up with lame gifts, and then got the idea to grab a pen and a sock, dive under Vince's bed and come up with a lame sockpuppet and came out with 'Mister Socko says to turn that frown upside down!' Vince finally throws Mick out of his room, and his last words were a disgusted 'mister socko!' and Sockomania ran wild. Fans wanted to see it, and a few days later....the socko claw was born.

Every time you would see Flair in the ring and someone would throw him against the turnbuckle he would flip over it and land on the apron every time. Always having that dizzy expression. lol

Scarface is my favorite film of all time.

Wrong on the socko bit. The sock came first. THEN after signs popped up, he used it for the claw.

Smackdown 2 gets overshadowed by No Mercy all the time. You can’t swanton off the hell in a cell onto a guy on the announcer table in No Mercy. I didn’t mind the 15 sec loading screens

You used a Wrestlemania 12 pic when describing the Survivor Series match

Simon, you want things to be interesting how about a presenter Battle Royale with all the presenters from what culture. Last person in the ring gets the What Culture 24/7 world title!

CAN YOU PLEASE TRAIN JULES ON HOW TO MAKE THE TOP 10/15 LISTS?

0:13🤔why is their paperwork in Wrestling🤷

You can’t see me comes from Tony Yayo

The most famous wood..... Beating Joey Ryan's Willy Well played entendres my good man

Hannah's dad classic that's funny shit right there

The Montreal screw job was a work

I thought the You can’t see me gesture was based off him and his bro seeing Tony Yayo doing it in a G Unit video and his brother bet him that he wouldn’t??

I'm curious how the rock came up with the " if ya smell what the rock is cooking"

Saw simon gets an up!!

Ups and Downs for NXT TV anyone?

Obie enjoys the content

so basically Jake Roberts getting drunk as a teenager is what would eventually lead to Stone Cold being famous ?

We need more Gangrel.

General Gash is an incredible name.

Wasn’t Mr Socko originally from the Vince McMahon hospital sketch?

Gotta love how they added Simon at the end so they could surpass their precious 10 minute mark lmfao

*Top 10 moments we can remind WWE about to change their minds about scripting*

I didn’t know John Cena was a huge fan of G Unit and Tony Yayo!

Mr Socko should be inducted into the Hall of Fame. 😆

"Not enough Gangrel" 😂😂😂 Everything else is true though. Admittedly Gangrel WOULD be better on commentary than anyone WWE has right now.

Ray Stevens and Harley Race were doing the "Flair Flop" in the 1960s

one other "famous yet spontaneous" move was the People's Elbow itself...i forgot exactly how he put it, but TripleH was on some interview discussing the night that the Rock debuted possibly his Most Electrifying move, saying that Rock was telling him "hey, check this shit out, its gonna make people flip the roof off this place" and so he sets up with it, throwing off the armband, dashing from rope to rope (TripleH called it "the Hokiest fuckin move ive ever seen") but with that little legkick to a dropped elbow, the crowd indeed erupted for it...1, 2, 3, Rock wins, AND he gains a signature finisher...

Mr socko should be in the HOF

In terms of Scott hall If you have a great wrestler and gimmick, you don't need him to be world champion. I greatly for example enjoyed all of woken matt hardy.

Cena's u can't c me gesture actually came from rapper Tony Yayo from his video So Seductive...

what episode did Rock first say Know Your Role ?
