He also died of a drug overdose, so...

WCW hired Lanny Poffo as a part of the deal with the Macho Man, and then told Lanny to sit at home and collect like a million a year until 2002

Now that's Awesome

@Carrot シ go wrestle the indys then lol

@Carrot シ yea sure, is that why even after seeing how people are treated in WWE these NJPW and RoH people join there?

Old Vinny Mac 100% liked it

Probably because Ryker did absolutely nothing wrong.

No kidding. "Herp a derp, he's a Trump supporter. Let's fire him." How stupid.

@@smgalia These people are such jokes. Vince is a Trump supporter! Linda was part of Trumps team for fucks sake. But the haters don't wanna talk about that. The dude is literally in the WWE HOF.

Tbh Trump isn’t a bad guy at all. Definitely not what he’s portrayed as. He says some dumb stuff but his knowledge as a business man helped America. Our new POTUS isn’t criticized by media at all and he can’t even formulate a proper sentence

Right? I remember living through that and it was wild. All the people WWE pay at home to do nothing...

He had every reason to be angry, unfortunately for his line of work, his reaction was inappropriate. Should have dealt with it in private

@@RobertBrown-nk7wj I lived through it already. All the Try Hards that wanted to pretend to be on Edges side to get a rise out of people online have come and gone, sunshine. Even Edge says it's the wrong decision. Try Hard elsewhere, sir.

I think he got fired because of how he talked about the situation online (which was justified)

Your black lol

Yeah, especially since Hunter was still with Chyna when he started seeing Stephanie.

I was thinking the exact same thing, talk about foreshadowing.

Literally paused the video to check the comments to see if anyone had made this observation.

Hell Roddy predicted his own death in that very interview and was spot on... It's eerie to watch now, and horribly tragic.

Matt had every right to. Can you really blame him?

I would have done the same thing that Matt did, if I was in his shoes.

exactly. It's an urban legend he got punished for it. If I recall correctly, I think Simon did a video that debunked that. You'd think this guy would have done a little research to verify his stuff.

He didn’t say the Ultimate Warrior match was his punishment. The continuous jobbing after the UW was his punishment.

@@mikeoutlaw5895 ah ok, guess I misunderstood

The ultimate warrior match wasn’t booked as a squash. That was all warrior.

@@tankkilla7488 most of his matches were squash only because he couldn't do more than 3 moves. I would have liked warrior vs Goldberg in an iron man match to see who would be able to stand on his legs after 1 hour

No it's not. Look at Wesley Blake's body compared to Jaxson Ryker's. Ryker is ripped while Blake is somewhat flabby.

@@gfear24 I see your point. That's how vince sees wrestling as a fucking beauty pageant for muscly dudes

I agree. It’s such a strange situation.

Yeah they should have gave him another chance. I could have even package him as masked wrestler. Too bad the company still has no backbone

They said that he had an attitutude backstage angering the likes of Batista Jbl and Undertakrr

@@kaizzierticsay7996 who is " they" that's interesting considering Undertaker said himself has said in interviews that he felt so bad about it

@@unbroken1010 the general public is to soft. That's why the wwe became soft. If advertisers hadn't started getting heat from the public the wwe wouldn't have gotten heat from advertisers. In this case there was nothing the wwe could do. Wrestling doesn't get thevsake leeway other tv shows get. Cause "its still real to" someone out there.

@@kaizzierticsay7996 jbl gets mad at everything he literraly cant be happy

The curtain call was approved by Vince in the first place. So if anything it was Vince's screw up.

even as a kid i LOVED his gimmick.

EXACTLY!

Sean reminded me of what you'd get if you got kevin nash combined with rvd with his build and moveset lol. Dude was one of a kind, what a shame.

That would mean Mike Awesome was Hulk Hogan’s second cousin, if Mikey withheld that information he could have gotten into a *Lot* of trouble (can we say “Nepotism” boys and girls? I knew you could) look at the Brian Christopher debacle (Google Brian Christopher Jerry Lawler)

Exactly! Ryker did nothing wrong.

Agreed.

You do realise the social media companies tell you what you can and can't say on social media, right? Also, as an employee, you represent your company, so if a person (for example) was spewing racist tirades from sunrise to sunset, it's fair for the company to request that you don't. You, of course, have the right to ignore that request and continue as you are, but your employer is not obligated to continue your employment either.

My problem with this was while I completely despise what Ryker said, it was hypocritical considering wwe higher-ups not only shared the same ideology but some were even open about it. Linda McMahon anyone? Hell, they parade ultimate warrior as a hero for far worse

@@TheThird1977 Only insofar as terms of service go or censoring of misinformation (i.e. regarding the curremt pandemic), and that particular tweet by itself didn't cross any of these whatsoever. Plus it's hardly "spewing racist tirades", all it is is a simple claim of support of the then current president, nothing else. Assuming that this is "capitalizing on racial tensions" is a massive leap and assumption, whether it's correct or not. That is essentially the equivalent of saying that if you ever show any kind of support for a particular president (regardless of your reasoning and/or motivations) you must be trying to entice racial tendencies or otherwise spewing racist ideologies and that this association should be a given

Matt hardy is a wwf legend. I agree with you completely

That's not racist enough for Vince and WWE "creative". And yes, he actually is Italian. And honestly, your idea for him is leaps and bounds better than what those fucktards gave him. The man behind the character deserved better.

And Jordanian through his mother.

Yes, that was at Wrestlemania 12.

It’s 3 am for the west coast

Is that why they always wait to post their content? Didn't realise the American audience was so big 🙄

@@mattshaw32 Why wouldn't it be? British wrestling news is pretty famous everywhere just British Wrestling is not.

@@vb2806 I assumed there are American wrestling news channels, maybe I'm wrong!

The funny thing is most of you do it more then you know.

Lita came on to him. And honestly none of them could help it, both were alone on the road a lot due to being matt being off tv due to this injury and matt lashed out online instead of settling it in private which was against his contract But who cares, both matt and edge are doing great right now and both have loving wives and families who love them and lita is....alone Now that's karma

It was from the time when WWE were advertising the WWE Network for $9.99 per month and that flag is part of the huge promotion. I think it's actually beneath the WWE flag but if you don't know why it's there it must look baffling.

The hog pen match against Henry O Godwin on the other hand ....

@@bmack1708 right. That part I knew. I just didn’t know why he included Wrestlemania when the curtain call incident hadn’t happened yet lol. That was just Warrior not wanting to do business

They literally said that it wasn’t in the video

Freedom of speech and inclusiveness. As long as you agree with us!

Look at Gina Carano, or some others like Tim Alan. Say 1 thing people dont agree with and ur banned for life, never to work again. Brie larson said some stupid shit that i dont agree with, i think shes a terrible actresses, i wont watch her movies, but i wont tell people to ban from acting.

Wrong. He is Middle Eastern trough his mother who is Jordanian.

Regal exposed Goldberg in that match. I don't know if he did it on purpose, but it was put out there for all to see that Goldberg couldn't wrestle for real. And he apparently never learned how in all this time.

@@deandrenicholas2545 How did it expose Goldberg as not being able to wrestle? I don't remember the details but I don't remember the match necessarily being a bad showing for Goldberg.

Look at tommy dreamer, piper, theres a list of more people. Those 2 stuck out the most. Tommy wanted his character to be the underdog, and piper was more over when he was going for the belt like taker. If piper won just 1 title he'd be more over than hogan.

Some people can be over and not need a title, like the Undertaker didn’t really win as many championships as he could have for example. But either way having the title means more publicity and recognition, for better or worse

Is bad for you in high doses

@@unbroken1010 of course you gotta be careful with cheese
