When I was a kid I 100% believed Warrior died and was replaced. We didn't talk about it as a conspiracy as kids, it was just a matter of fact - The original Warrior died in a car accident and they had to replace him.

I know someone who to this day, still believes that Lesner went into business for himself. (Or at least he changed the match outcome because of Taker’s injury) I think they’re just upset about Lesner winning because we both believe that the streak should’ve never came to an end. If I was Vince, I would’ve never let the streak end & have Taker retire still undefeated at Maina.

Kane's height has changed over the years. Sometimes he wears lifts in his boots, Sometimes he does not

There is this weird theory some crazy people have that Vince Russo was good at his job and good for Pro Wrestling.

Vince totally swung from both sides of the plate

SBW, you should make a video about modern wrestling conspiracies. It would be a good content and I have a few suggestions. 1. Triple H, Steph and Nick were the ones who staged Vince's allegations leaks - HHH was furious at Vince for taking NXT (2.0) at the same time he was at the hospital due to a heart failure and probably was already angry at him for putting NXT head to head against AEW and lose it. Also, Nick was mad at Vince because 2021 was AEW best year and was becoming a real threat to WWE's number one wrestling company. So they leak all Vince's scandals as a form of coup to take over WWE. 2. Bryan Danielson was swayed and pressured by WWE to retire in 2016 to take him out of way of pushing Roman Reigns as company's top guy. Fans were hijacking shows chating to Bryan and booing Roman. Also, that role smacktalk segment with The Miz, initially was to push Bryan to come out of retirement and feud with Miz, however, they changed the plans due to Miz's legendary promo 3. Vince made Taker lose his streak at WM30 because he doesn't like the fact Bryan would be over and needed something to upstage that. 4. That whole WWE Divas Search in 2000s was just an excuse to Vince find girls to hook up with. 5. This whole "WWE's wellness policy" is pure BS. Everyone is on steroids (look how was AJ Styles against Cody Rhodes at Blacklash this year), but "catches" some wrestlers just to save face, but uses it as a way to protect their biggests babyfaces. They would NEVER expose John Cena even though is very clear that he takes roids to protect his reputation.

Andre was 7’4” and he was 525 lbs., but not at the same time.

It's never occurred to me that the full face masked Kane was only around for 6 years.

HE DIDNT BREAK HIS BACK IN THE RING????

The multiple Ultimate Warriors always drove me crazy because pretty much as soon as I found KZfaq, I debunked that theory, but my parents never believed it.

Every tale about Andre drinking. Somehow every wrestler in the world was present the time he drank 156 beers(14.8 gallons of fluid) in one night. Amazing stuff.

When I was a kid the Kane thing was confusing . I remember my siblings and I thinking Kane with the mask was a different person than Kane when he took the mask off . We knew wrestling was a work but we found it hard to believe it was the same guy playing the character based on his body and that masked Kane was bald . We didn’t have internet at the time either . Glad to hear it was not just us thinking glen Jacobs was not the only Kane 😂

My favorite conspiracy theory is that Ravishing Rick Rude had his little ravishing one amputated

Vince has bloopers on video from the 80's early 90's forgetting his name. "Hi I'm damn I forgot my name"

Considering what we now know about Vince's proclivities, him going all brokeback fudgepack with HBK is highly probable

As a kid in the 90s and a huge HBK fan I never would've brlieve the Vince/HBK story but now it's the most believable one on this list.... And other 90s wrestlers also talked about it. Chael Shannon recently said he knows of 11 wrestlers who slept with Vince and only 8 were women....

Vince Screwed Vince. 🤷🏿‍♂️

I like how the only theory given some validity in the video is HBK and Vince 😂

0:11 That must be Triple H's one and only fan! XD

I was watching some footage of Doink when he was played by Matt Bourne and I'd forgotten how awesome the character was in the beginning.

HBK is my all-time favorite but I do believe he and Vince had some kind of secret homosexual relationship. Between the footage there is of Vince getting misty eyed over Shawn and the many accounts of the things Vince allowed Shawn to do and say to him during the late nineties, I'm inclined to believe that this conspiracy theory is legit.

If i'm not mistaken, the undertaker did get injured in that match. I just recently watched a documentary about him and he talked about it.

In WWF/E, Vince Russo had Vince McMahon to keep him in check and keep Russo's wildest and dumbest ideas off tv. WCW let Russo do what he wanted. Russo believed his own hype.

I have no doubt that the Montreal Screw Job was a carefully prepared scene. Continuing the filming, when Vince McMahon came out of his office reeling from the punch it was clear to me even at the time that he was giving some kind of cheap acting, it was not convincing. What is clear to me is that what happened to Bret Hart is similar to what happened to Scott Hall. He received a huge offer that he could not refuse from WCW, and he went to Vince McMahon and said to him: Will you give me such an offer or will I leave? McMahon refused and did not mind his departure. Since he had his eye on Steve Austin and Rock, Bret was part of a phase that quickly appeared and quickly disappeared. But I have no doubt he would have taken advantage of Bret going with a huge scenario (taking the WWF belt to wCw). The actual reason for hiding the truth of this scenario from the public is because it has brought in money for years. The other thing is that the masses will not consider this a scenario, but rather a big hoax, and acknowledging its truth will result in great and widespread anger. Every shot of that event was a clear theatrical performance.

8:19 "but to be honest with you, i don't believe vince was ever aware of TNA" even though in WWE Raw, July 18, 2011: During a segment with Vince McMahon, John Cena made an iMPACT Wrestling reference. saying he's going to jump too the other company and join hogan. and even before that, TNA literally invaded WWE back in Turning Point 2004 (December 5, 2004) when wwe was at Orlando doing a show. not to mentioned in 2017 when kurt was a GM for RAW he said on WWE tv "i heard tna is hiring" this was during dixie era right before she sold the company. there's a compilation videos of wwe referencing TNA. there's even TNA chants on WWE tv during the earlier days of TNA. even WWE stars appeared in the crowd of TNA. there was famously a segment were a wwe talent was trying to not be spotted on TNA tv but they put the camera on him. vince was aware and they were of TNA even back then. y'all tried to used that same narrative of "vince not being aware" even with ECW back then and look at everything of came out since. he was definitely aware of TNA especially that segment when john cena said it to him right to his face on WWE tv. so, u would literally be saying Vince isn't aware of the things that was happening in his own company and stars within his company name dropping and referencing TNA directly to his face on live TV. and there's literal video footage of some idiot asking Vince McMahon during some press conference if he's going to buy tna. so yeah, he's fully aware of TNA existence. bubba ray even said in a interview that Vince was a fan of his TNA's bully ray character.

Wait a minute. I thought Kane did have different actors portraying him? My favorite one was the Kane that was around from his debut until 2001 or so. The one that came back with a half mask is Glenn Jacobs. Eventually he unmasked. I've always been curious who the original Kane was

Vince definitely used to swoon over Shawn from 96-97, especially on commentary.

As a kid I just thought Kane was the Undertaker with a mask.

Macho man slept with teenage Stephanie. It resulted in him becoming a commentator and r eventually leaving and never returning to the wwf.

5:55 with Vince Russo going to WCW as well has gone to TNA while Jim Cornette was there. I don't believe that it's a conspiracy theory, but a legit fact: yes, Vince Russo may have a big mouth, but he uses it when it's necessary he's not going to blab about what his main objectives are by Vince McMahon Vince McMahon is very cunning in how to get other wrestlers and bookers to be apart of another promotion look at Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Eric Bischoff same exact tools for Vince McMahon to put the competition out of existence

Kerry Von Erich replacing Ultimate Warrior as a conspiracy theory is like the Pokemon fans still believing that Buried Alive is real (I say still, because growing up I believed it)

As of today, I feel the screw job is a work. I thought it was a shoot until today. If it was a shoot, he wouldn’t stop talking about it. Think about it, he bitches nonstop about Goldberg, when Brett actually concussed himself with the figure four on the post, by hitting the back of his head on the ground. (Concussions are more apt to occur due to blows to the back of the head and not the chin). So if he won’t stop about Goldberg, if survivor series was a shoot, he would still be bitching about it. It’s totally a work. (Punched Vince off camera, having a “neutral party” filming as it happened, like Vince would let Brett get free press in his company on his way out to the competition) Total work.

Vince was hittin dat. Listen to his commentary on Shawn in the mid 90s every time he performed lol jk

30 years ago i had a bonehead friend tell me there was a wrestling promotion where the top stars of wwf and wcw go and battle without tv or selling ppv...stone cold beat goldberg multiple times according too that idiot who reads it in magazines he can't produce

You're fired 0 The end 0 Vince

Good job of weaving in all the stories so seamlessly

How about the Macho Man and Stephanie McMahon dating theory?

Kane’s height did kinda change. I believe he wore lifts early in his run because they wanted Kane to tower over Undertaker but Glenn is shorter than Mark irl

Montreal was a work. Brett let Shawn put him in his own finisher come on

What about the stephanie x randy savage conspiracy.

8:40 TBF, it didn't help that Paul Heyman has often agitated this theory by being vague as fuck about the outcome of the match multiple times during multiple guest appearances elsewhere

I think there's more than nothing when it comes to the Shawn and Vince thing.

They wouldn't have had the graphic ready in time if Brock had beaten Taker for real. Not unless they had a feeling that this might happen and they made 1 for both outcomes.

Am in my 40's but somehow I still believe somewhere in my brain dat warrior died while flexible his unbelievable biceps and died coz of excess blood loss,the smaller warrior just doesn't luk like Hellwig at dat point of time....though the truth seems otherwise but still I heart say he died in early 90's....

Some fans believe wrasslin is real...that's dumber than these theories.

Kane did change height with different boots and he's been bigger an more toned. An a few times it was some one else, for a story line.

Kane's height did change. Shoes affect height, and you can find old photos where Kane appears to be wearing particularly elevated boots. Posture can further affect perceived height, as can hair and even clothing. Camera angles and positioning can also make a person look taller or shorter (which WWF did intentionally exploit). As does the people you are standing next to. Combine all those factors, and you can easily end up with a perceived height difference of several inches, without even getting into factors like actual height loss through aging.

I could tell Linda was Stephanie's mom..they both have huge ta tas

The Montreal Screwjob being a work is much more believable than it being a shoot, Anyone who thinks Bret isn't narcissistic enough to sell this for life is delusional, There are very few marks for themselves who compare to Bret.

The tie in wasn't Shawn and Vince it was Shawn and pat

I liked Jack Tunney

I’m not so certain the Vince and HBK is just a false story. Especially considering some of the things that have come out recently about Vince being involved in some 3 ways. Where there’s smoke, there’s usually fire. 🔥 💨

the dumbest wrestling conspiracy theories I've seen are the one that Owen Hart was murdered by Vince McMahon as a public sacrifice ritual to get revenge on Bret for leaving (this is a real face palmer) and the other one is that John Cena's naked Oscar appearance was a ritual to satisfy "the illuminati" or to satisfy "his gay paymasters" 😂

Vince screwed vince

LMAO @ the HBK and Vince relationship ❤️

It's funny how russo almost put 2 companies outta business.

Mahn, I miss Kane...My older brother growing up always said he was the Undertaker, so I had to be Kane.😂 My all time Favorite wrestler

Whats wild is that in a time before the internet we all heard the same rumor about the ultimate warrior in school yards all across the world. I believe it was shawn michaels and pat patterson in a gay relationship. The montreal screwjob to me was a work because what happened to that huge contract that brett signed and then vince backed out of? Thats breech of contract and could be sued. I think the screwjob was a work to create buzz for brett when he went into wcw

I believed none of it. But it was fun pretending.

"Conspiracy theorist" was used long before the JFK assassination.

I used to believe vince & shawn had something but i also see it different. Macho man wanted shawn in a feud vince not letting it happen saw mach leave. With hall & nash there in wcw while shawn can't get to hogan he could out do him and make any match hogan had to wrestle impossible to follow shawns matches. You had bischoff saying he'd just be another guy on the roster but go listen to kevin sullivan. He debunked that along with terry taylor basically saying they would have let shawn do wat he wanted & with nash being head booker he'd protect his buddy meaning. Shawn gets the match against macho man Shawn vs scott hall ladder match part 3. Hall won the 1st shawn won the 2nd right? Shawn vs nash good friends better enemies part 2. Then. Shawn vs flair Shawn vs eddie guerrero the dream match Shawn vs jericho at that time Shawn vs sting Shawn vs booker t All of those mstches instant best matches on the cards. NASH will make that happen as head booker. Now....for bret Hall left because bret did not want tonask vince for more momey, nash left because bret did not want to tske the powerbomb where then taker screws nash we get the incide MOTHER F'ER not everything is about you! By taker to bret. So nash leaves Hall & nash didn't even care for bret they pimped him so they could get more money from their favoted nations contracts with turnerbsports & NASH blatantly admitted it because when bret got there NONE including hogan wanted to work with him. Huge huge difference with bret vs shawn. Vince knew this. Wcw used bret as their puppet cc bidchoff clearly was going to say they signed the wwe champion had the screw job not happened. Im willing to het thats why bischoff gave bret that huge offer anyways to blatantly do.that & bury vince. Vince had to make the right decision he chose shawn. He knew where bret would stand in wcw

A bit of me thinks the Screwjob was a work. It was Owen's death that led to their eventual fallout.

vince totally had an interest in guys in addition to his abuse of women.

What a bunch of marks!!

Montreal was a work

Lol. Conspiracy theories??? It's reached the point that that term is laughable. More of them end up being right rather than wrong. Beware anytime howard stern is saying that someone is going to far with an accusation. He is as cabal as it gets. That reeks of cover up. And NOW we KNOW that vince is bisexual. So him sleeping with shawn michaels went from far out and crazy to plausible if not likely. Remember what vince let pat patterson get away with for decades.

it still baffles me that they fumbled bret so badly in wcw coming off all that in wwf at the time, just a dumb move by them not to use him better

In my school it was established fact that Kane was Kevin Nash. It was 100% verified truth because one of the harder, older kids said so.

Plus the ultimate warrior had 2 legs...sorry

Could have done without seeing Mark in the Blue Lives Matter T-Shirt and Don't Tread on Me hat (an important historical phrase but coopted by MAGAs) at the end. I know there are a lot of wrestlers with shitty real life views, but I hate being reminded that guys like him are part of it.

Not a conspiracy but how did they allow Chris Benoit inside a Toys R Us ?

If Russo was sent to destroy WCW, he'd have said "BRO! I gotta tell ya this, bro, I swear to God, bro. Vince McMahon, bro, he sent me to WCW, and bro, he wanted me to destroy it from within, bro. I'm telling ya, bro, Vince hated WCW, bro, and bro, he knew that I was the guy who could take it down, bro".

Imo the only wrestling conspiracy that holds any weight whatsoever is Benoit. Now I believe Benoit unfortunately did what he did, but come on, something just doesn’t feel right and fishy about the Benoit tragedy, that I wouldn’t be surprised if Benoit was framed. Now when it comes to Conspiracy Theories in general, one must understand where the phrase originated from, the term Conspiracy Theorist was first used for people that didn’t believe what the media told them about the JFK assassination. But it’s always important to think for yourself, don’t be ignorant, always do your own research and make your own assumptions, don’t believe everything you hear or read, don’t rule anything out, and have an open mind. Because the mainstream media is nothing but propaganda and not real journalism

I still suspect that Undertaker's concussion was the reason for the end of the streak. Yeah, they've all come out and said that it was pre-determined, so I have to accept that. that little doubt is still in the back of my head though.

Shawn and vince defo happened
