I find it really cool that all Jericho needed to say was 'Wrestlemania 3 finish' and Ricky fully understood

No wonder why Undertaker never beat Lesnar with the Tombstone. Lesnar hit himself with it at Wrestlemania 19 from the top rope, so he grew to handle the pain.

“Jeff Hardy was not in a good place at this time...he was in TNA” 😂😂😂

Turns out HBK is really good at his job

OK, that Jericho vs. Steamboat story is awesome. I'd love to see that match.

I find it funny that Batista was set to be the future of raw and Cena the future of SmackDown yet we most remember Cena on raw and Batista on SmackDown lol

'How did Brock manage to walk after this?' Really Adam? Do you think the mat would have the balls to injure Brock?

One thing I have to say: After only four or five years as a wrestler, angle wrapping up the mania match in that fashion shows he had true understanding and wrestling wisdom. He was definitely born to do this

Alternate Title: Best of HBK, Chris Jericho, and some other blokes.

What’s really an awesome thing about the last one is that Sting ended up being really supportive of Jeff Hardy in his journey to sobriety afterwards and his returning to the company after that.

I really love the first story. It shows how great Jericho is and ever was. For me the biggest guy in the whole industry.

“and Charlotte Flair wins” DEAD 😂

House show in LA - Edge was the face and totally over, yet suddenly the whole crowd started chanting Eddie Eddie! There was nowhere near a bigger pop that night, Latino Heat ruled. You could see the confusion on the wrester's face because Guerrero was a super heel at the time. They locked up and it seemed everything changed with Eddie hitting the frog splash and the crowd going wild!

My favorite is still Luger climbing out of the cage and running when he realized Bruiser was shooting.

Love how Jericho didn’t give a shit about anything but Neville well being

Angry Vince McMahon tearing both quads sounds a little karmic.

The fact that Angle and Lesnar were able to complete the match "correctly" under those circumstances is really incredible.

What about the elimination chamber where ziggler directed everyone when one of the competitors doors broke open

Jericho just keeps proving he’s the GOAT

Even more pacitti? You love it!

The Hardy-Sting match was much worse than was told here. Hardy missed his entrance call by a long time. When he appeared it was clear right away something was wrong. He was wobbly & unnatural coming down the ramp, his eyes were noticeably whacked & he was engaging/taunting-messing with fans along the way. As I recall he wandered outside around the ring for a while "messing" with fans. Finally he gets in the ring passing/bumping the ref who takes one look & whiff of him and throws his arm into a highly displayed X, indicating to the bosses upstairs Hardy is unfit. Hardy took so long to get in that Sting had been called and came in the ring, Sting entered right next to the ref but turned from the ref just as he threw the X so Sting didn't know yet, officially that is. Anyway Hardy is climbing up the rope corners still ultra messing with the fans, taunting with t-shirt throws over and over, he walks/stumbles/prances to each corner & side again & again, never tossing the T and Sting is watching & now knows Hardy is lit up like the 4th of July on steroids. If not already obvious to all, Taz who I believe was announcing says "what is wrong with Hardy" or "Whats up with Hardy" as he wont stop this parading and messing with fans. Then Bischoff comes out and I've got to say he really did a good job and sold what he was doing, holding up the match and making it seem like this was a scripted part, what a Oscar wining performance by Bischoff. He says something about being out there to make things fair between them as said in this video and first he goes up to Hardy. Bischoff tucks the mic back around below his butt and leans deep into Hardy ear and I'm sure he said "Your taking the first fall as a pin, immediately", Hardy's eyes were glazed and his face blank when Bischoff spoke to him, I'm sure Hardy had no idea what he said and thought he was out there as part of a script to say hello. Bischoff again talks into the mic and walks to other side of ring to Sting holds his hand out to shake hands with Sting and again buries the mic behind him into his butt so there's no chance of what he is sating can be picked up. Sting shows he's a long time Vet and sells this all by making angry faces at Bischoff. I assume Bischoff said the same to Sting, pin this fool immediately and dont pull any punches. Finally the match starts, obviously Hardy missed the memo because he is doing his best to get away from and fight sting, Hardy digs his nails into Sting and you can see blood on his neck and Sting put his hand to his neck to check it. Sting is visibly pissed, he tries to get a hold of Hardy nicely but Hardy resists and Sting grabs and big handful of hair really hard and really jerks Hardy, he really punches him hard to, Hardy is still resisting and Sting slams slams slams slams slams him to the mat with vengeance, with great anger and with extreme prejudice to quote a military term, He puts a pin on Hardy and Hardy cant believe whats going on from the hair pull to the real punch to the hard slam and pin, Hardy is legitimately for the first time in his life trying to really get out of a pin, struggling like no wrestler ever has, he still doesn't know what he's doing or what he's supposed to do as if Bischoff never came out and told him. Sting has got him nailed to the mat, ruff, ruff, ruff. Ref counts a really rapid record pace 1-2-3 and Sting jumps up disgusted, Hardy stumbles up in a daze trying to figure out what just happened, visibly shaken and angry. Good thin he decide not to mess with Sting anymore because Sting would have torn him in a million bloody pieces. As said, Sting looks at the now angry and yelling crowd, walks up the ramp shaking his head and telling them "I agree", meaning he hears them say this is BS and he agrees. Hardy still dazed in the ring, I don't think the camera went back on him after the pin..I had bought that PPV and was pissed, this was going to be a really good match. It was reported that many knew about Hardy's drinking problem and knew he was drunk (at least, who knows what else he had in him, it was far more than booze). I dont know who was in charge back stage but put a fair amount of blame on them too for not stopping Hardy, he nearly destroyed TNA. I do feel bad for Hardy, such promise and talent and he let those demons get him at that all important time, of course its 100% his responsibility and fault, I'm glad he recovered from that but I think he had a relapse or two again in TNA and or the WWE. Take care Jeff Hardy, get well and stay strong. Someone made a good video on this called "The Hardy Incident" or "The Jeff Hardy Incident" watch it. I think this was the first time in wrestling history that someone was legitimately trying to pin someone and the other person really trying to kick out !!!!!!!!

15:58 , he was in a dark place, TNA! Lmao that was good right there.

The Goldberg/Regal match wasn’t changed on the fly. Apparently, Regal was told by someone backstage to try and actually work a decent match with him since Goldberg had only been trained to do moves and Regal was a trusted hand. It turned out to be a bit more difficult than they anticipated.

WCW Scott Hall V Chris Jericho, where Hall lost then battered Jericho, having decided that would make for a better buildup for both Him and Jericho leading into his match with Larry Zybisko

Vince was so hot at that Rumble finish he hit the ring with enough sheer force to tear both his quads. I know being forced on his butt had to have made him even hotter than he already was at that point.

@cultaholic Years later Fatu would push a car over The Ringmaster, for The Rock.

do top 10 kevin nash quad tears next

Just went back and watched that Regal vs Goldberg match. Really good stuff and worth a watch. Regal is shooting on him and stiffing him hard. Goldberg doesn't look green at all, but he does look kinda embarrassed. It's the first match of his life he's actually had to try for.

So, this was done _before_ *THE* punishment, hey?

Neville (Pac now) broke his ankle on a baseball slide. The fact that he hit a damn frankensteiner with a broken ankle is absolutely insane. No one ever says it, but imo Pac is a top 3 wrestler on the planet in terms of work rate

Jeff Hardy was not in a good state he was in TNA damn man complete savage

No elimination chamber that ziggler called entirely?

"How was Brock Lesnar able to walk after this spot?" Because he's Brock Lesnar the man who beat Pluto in a fight and that's why it no longer a planet

Even back then Rikishi did it for The Rock...even before The Rock was even there...

Well we can assume that a lot of matches had to be changed after the plane ride from hell, so you can really say in that situation that matches had to change on the FLY

"He was in tna" Brilliant

#10 is awesome, I didn't know about that, but it makes Jericho even more of a legend. Even if it was just a house show, to just decide on the fly to lose instead of win and communicate to Steamboat exactly how to do it for best effect in only three words is just amazing. #6 is great too, because even if it was unprofessional, it's another display of how Jericho puts his coworkers first. Hey, where was the Elimination Chamber 2015? Poor Dolph Ziggler damn near killed himself bumping trying to salvage that match after Wade Barret accidentally brought Mark Henry into the match well ahead of his planned time. I was waiting to see where it was on this list, only for you to leave it off altogether.

What about: 1. Booker T vs Rick Martel at Superbrawl VIII 2. Jake Roberts vs Jim Neidhart at Heroes of Wrestling

Quads torn in the making of this video: 3 (Not by Nash)

So often the SSP of Brock is mentioned but almost nobody considers how often Brock did this move before. He did it in OVW, he did it at the beginning of his WWE-career. It was a spectacular but normal move in his arsenal. What ever the reason was, it went completele wrong against Angle, but it wasn´t the unusual move as everybody tends to tell today. Maybe it was the plan of Brock and Kurt to finish it with "Brocks best shot" and maybe Vince had some words and please tell me, if I am wrong, but Brock never used the SSP again. Apart from that, I love the 1st story most. Paying back to Ricky Steamboat with a reference to his greatest moment in WWF.. What a great move of Chris.

They could have easily repeated the 1994 Royal Rumble finish with Hart/Luger.... Both Cena and Batista went on to WM21 anyway. Maybe the plan for the WWE title wasn't made up at that point.

Watching the aftermath of Neville's injury was a real heartbreaker, especially when he was devastated when told he'd done his ankle in, I mean don't get me wrong, I'm glad he got a new lease of life back in DG an all but a part me misses the handsome flying mad lad.

The Chris Jericho V Neville match would of been great but a slight slip broke his ankle and Chris was trying so hard to get the ref to call it XD

The Radicalz match on RAW where Eddie Guerrero injured his elbow on the finish is a good addition to this list. The Radicalz were coming from WCW and the match stipulations had those competing that night fighting for contracts with the then WWF. The first match was a tag team bout against the New Age Outlaws, which Eddie was supposed to win after hitting a frog splash from the top rope. However, when he injured his elbow on the landing, he called an audible and was pinned himself. This put backstage writers on red alert trying to come up with a solution before the next Radicalz match that night.

It’s hard to see. But the referee threw the x sign during Jeff Hardy’s entrance and this is what signaled the backroom / Bischoff to come out. I don’t believe the back room knew of anything until the x sign

Say what you will about HBK’s backstage antics in the 90’s however, the man is a master of the ring!!! xoxo The Clarences

I woke up this morning, got my breakfast ready, and put on KZfaq hoping to watch a Cultaholic video. See one on there, turn it on, and get ready to have a good Sunday morning.

Man, they could've easily made the Regal/Goldberg match have the story of the nWo paying Regal off to "destroy" Goldberg

Much respect to Jericho for how he handled the Neville situation. One of the GOATs. Honoured to share my birthday with him, 35 years apart. Actually, even Angle with Lesnar.. And whoever showed such a good sense of mind and deserves praise.

Regal would have legit beat Goldberg

Proper preparation prevents piss poor performances

"Lil Naitch" made Jericho's List... for real.

A match called on the fly? YOU LOVE IT!!!!

I had always heard goldberg vs raven and the flock in wcw was a changed finish. From what I understood raven was supposed to walk out during the match while the flock distracted goldberg. Supposedly the crowd threw raven back over the wall and he was knocked out from the impact. He stumbled back into the ring dazed and goldberg had to change the finish to a pin.

That TNA jab got me good xD

i started crying lauging when you said Mcmahon “ripped both quadricep muscles clean off the bone” for some reason

The caption says "Adam for cheezy" instead of Adam pacitti lol

I would love to have seen that Steamboat/Jericho match.

Where is Kofi vs Bryan 1? Kofi was clearly not supposed to kick out of Bryan's finish, but they had just got the crowd so Bryan made the audible. BTW Austin said on his podcast it was his fault that his hand slipped and he fell out of the Rumble, he didn't say Kama pushed him out.

I love how The Montreal Screwjob was nowhere on the list

Vince yelling while sitting there.. torn quads... funniest thing ever.

the steamboat/jericho one is just about the most wonderful thing i've heard in quite awhile. we need video.

Public Enemy were going to get the shit kicked out of them regardless because they’d chosen to sign for WCW before WWF. Also, I think World War 3 deserves a mention because of Hogans shithousery and screwing Savage out of a proper celebration.

I love Inoki's finish he just brings the whole locker room out and has them hit each other like that would somehow save the match.

I love that Jericho is such a hot head when it comes to another wrestler being or getting hurt.

That beat down to PE by JBL and Simmons was absolutely BRUTAL!! While watching it I was thinking "there is no way this is scripted" and then seeing the Dominator by Simmons I honestly thought he killed him!!!

I was actually at Royal Rumble 2005, I remembered that spot well, cousin won two tickets to the event and invited to come along only thing remember outside that botch was how hoarse I sounded after the event and the three hour long trip out of the parking lot.

ECW Sabu vs Terry Funk barbed wire match. Sabu's pants were completely entangled in barbed wire and Funk pinned him, winning the ECW World Title in the process.

That Public Enemy shoot was the most brutal matches I’ve seen. It didn’t have blood or gnarly spots, it was two grown ass men genuinely getting their asses beat.

11:36 damn his head is turning purple 😂😂

This is 1986 andre could barely move before his back surgery...that might have givem the impression he was drunk...andre drank alot but with his metabolisim it took a ton to actually get him intoxicated

So about the royal rumble Adam, Do You love it 100000?

Jericho show of respect was awesome

Jeff Hardy was in a bad place, he was in TNA 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I lost my shit with that comment

Wish WWE would put that Steamboat/Jericho match where Steamboat went over on the Network (you know they had to have at least one camera there...)

Adam you're always funny but damn you took to another level in this video! Kudos man!

Loved when Regal did this. It was saying hey listen your not that damn good. Respect the process.

I remember tna gave their next PPV for free for everyone who bought victory road

0:24 love how Charlotte is like a new John Cena with that joke😂😂

I really thought that elimination chamber match would be on the list where Mark Henry's chamber accidantly broke, then nobody knew what to do with the situation and then Dolph Ziggler commanded everybody including the refferee around trying to save the situation without letting the audence know that they had scripted a different plan for the match... and killed kayfabe by making it so obvious even a blind person could see that they are cooperating with each other and just followed through with Ziggler's plan.

Wrestling is not fake. It's predetermined. What an awesome quote! Thank you for that!

8:12 thank you, Hot Ones

Jeff Hardy battling demons?!!! I don’t believe that for a second. 😂

The flair thing at the beginning was actually pretty funny

you should make more videos of just photographs... everyone loves it when you do that

I was 9 during the lesner vs angle match and even that young the second lesner landed I knew that landing went terrible and he was super super hurt that shit just hurt to watch

What about Booker T vs. Perry Saturn in WCW after Rick Martel torn his ACL. They had a whole match on the fly

one could argue that the 2005 royal rumble finish made both men look even better than planned.....so Vince blew it for nothing

I can not believe, after HHH blew his quad, he still hit the Pedigree on the announcer's table. That shit had to hurt.

In January 2005, I’d only lived in Japan for just over a 1/2 a year when I saw this blazing fire engulf the Eastern sky. But it was too early to be the sunrise. I’d later discover that it was the quad-tearing inferno of rage that was Vince McMahon at the Royal Rumble ...

That slam on TNA was just *chef kiss*

God I wish I had gotten to see that house match between Jericho and Steamboat. Sounds like a damn classic

What I dont understand is if Cena and Batista both went on to fight for titles anyway... then why didnt they do the same thing that they did with Luger and Bret. This time there are 2 separate titles

That Charlotte Flair line in the intro made me laugh out loud and repeat it out loud

Just went and checked out the acolytes vs public enemy... Yeah... That was career ending stuff.. 😱

I don't remember there being a tag team called Pubic Enema in the WWE.

I've noticed this years ago. But has anyone else. That the Acolytes emblem on their legs, are the same as Undertakers. The T with the x behind or whatever.

Chris Jericho is just brilliant.

6:01) Andre drinking *A LITTLE BIT OF THE BUBBLY!*

Shawn Michaels vs Hulk Hogan where Shawn overselled everything should've been a part of this!
