@boyankovachev7982 Ай бұрын

Well, given the fact that this video is at least 3 years old, probably 5 or even as much as 7 years old, I guess that there was something in the intro that really dated it, and that could be why it was removed when they re-uploaded it, this happens with entries too.

it's because they're recycled and removed the old intro. You can tell by the "WhatCultureWWE" at the top of the screen. Most new videos have "WhatCultureWrestling" now.

I recently watched Ricky Steamboat's biography. He said he never asked to lose belt. He asked for two weeks off. They said yes but later said he has to drop the title since they needed the belt defended on house shows. Ricky was pissed and changed his 2 week request to a couple of months.

Although Eddie Guerrero was appreciated in his time, he is even more so today. It's understandable that the ratings took a dive after Brock left the promotion in 2004, but it certainly was not Eddie's fault. Eddie was a flawed but honorable man, and one of the greatest professional wrestlers ever.

Didn't help WWE lumbered him wiv JBL and unfortunately Eddie was suffering mentally and with slight injuries,addictions. Legend though and was due to win it bk apparently not long after the time of his death 😢😢

Tommy Dreamer was something else as a babyface fighting the odds. Even on the night he FINALLY beat Raven, all the momentum was immediately transferred into Jerry Lawler’s invasion. So smart by Tommy and Paul E.

@My19812011 Ай бұрын

I’ve always seen similarities between Eddie Guerrero in 2004 and Shawn Michaels in 1996 in that they were pretty much set up to fail drawing wise. Shawn had to deal with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash leaving as well as Bret Hart leaving for 6 months added to WCW kickstarting The nWo angle. Eddie saw Brock Lesnar leave, SmackDown lose a lot of top stars to Raw during the draft and then Undertaker become more part time.

And then Vince never allowed Ricky a rematch or the chance to get his belt back. Vince denied Steamboat paternity leave yet lets Shawn and Seth have it.

You know that the Steamboat A&E Biography just dropped, so how could you get that thing wrong. He asked to take some time off to see his family, literally just 2 weeks and Vince said that they couldn't have him do that so they decided to take that belt off him, then Steamboat got pissed and left for months after dropping the belt. He never asked to lose the belt it was only 2 weeks.

And in regards to Ric Flair's 'official championship reigns' this is just 1 of a litany of things the WWE doesn't count towards Flair's 25+ NWA/WCW/WWF World Heavyweight Championship unofficial reigns! Those WCW International Championship reigns from (9/93-4/94) also, the title switch in New Zealand which makes Harley Race an 8x NWA World's Heavyweight Champion... yup!

@NoneofYabiz-rx3zi Ай бұрын

Internat title doesn't count, broski. Even if, he won it while it was the NWA heavyweight championship. The last one where they unified the belts doesn't count either since he was already the WCW heavyweight champion
