I think this is the first good story I have ever heard about JBL

My favourite ever was Chris Jericho being convinced to lose to Ricky Steamboat during the actual match by the fans reaction , calling an audible and going against booking

Knowing all of the infamous JBL stories, this one shows just how well respected Eddie was, for JBL to take the lay down

Hbk refusing to lose with his opponents dying sister in the ring is typical hbk at the time. Douchebaggery at its finest.

A positive JBL story?? Who would of thought it..

1:15 - Similarly to this surprisingly-wholesome moment from JBL, when the "Owen Hart Tribute Match" happened on WCW Nitro in late-1999, Bret Hart wanted Chris Benoit to beat him in it, but Benoit shot that idea down entirely, basically for the same reasons Bradshaw did.

Between Brett, Owen, British Bulldog, ext it’s a mild miracle that anyone associated with the Harts ever works with Vince.

The proof of the fact that Hart was supposed to not only wrestle Hogan for the WWE title at Summerslam but possibly win it was the fact Hart had won the KOTR in 1993.

While I respect what Shawn did for the business I still can't get over the fact he used his backstage sway to get the feel good ending to a match that Bulldog was supposed to win just out of spite. From what I have heard in interviews with other wrestlers about this "Born again Shawn" He hasn't changed much at all when it comes to protecting his own self interests

Be honest, the thumbnail captivated your attention

Another reason Jarrett had WWE and Vince on the ropes was that his contract had expired the day before the PPV where he'd drop the IC belt to Chyna. So he had all the leverage on the way out.

That Warrior story is unsurprising since he was on the record as not caring about wrestling at all, he considered it a way to get paid to work out.

Vince: How dare you want money that I owe you!

You left out the story Kevin Sullivan told about having Haku/Meng talk to guys who refuse to lose.

Bret never had a problem losing in Canada. it was due to the fact he and Shawn hated each other.

The carny days of wrestling still exist my friend, trust me. Especially out here at independents in Tennessee.

The Mil story cracks me up every time I hear it.

Hogan is in business for himself and only himself, I haven't heard one good story from anyone that's ever worked with him

Head from missy or beat taz...MISSY

You missed one from what I remember, Shawn wouldn’t lose to (I can’t remember for the life of me) and he got a visit from Taker telling him to lose or be prepared to have the shit kicked out of him by the deadman when he got back through the curtain.

Jarrett didn’t accept a check. If you listened to the podcast you know he told Vince he wanted it in cash out of the gate vault and McMahon ended up giving in and getting him the cash.

I recall that when The Godfather came out with his Ho Train, he offered his opponent free use of his Ho's if they would leave without contesting the match. I seem to recall Steven Regal leaving with the Ho's.

The jbl eddie feud was one of my favorites as a kid. Good on jbl. I hated his guts

To be fair, wanting to be paid your unpaid wages to, you know, work, is like the most relatable reason ever.

I've always thought it was funny that Hogan refused to lose to Bret because he didn't think he was big enough, but we all know in a shoot Bret would have wiped the floor with the Hulkster.

If asuka or alexia offered the thumbnail, I'd be on a 10 year losing streak

That 90s windbreaker on Vinnie Mac was priceless

Polar Bear gets back to the locker room and Missy is gone. Polar Bear: OK, Heyman. Looks like you are going to have to honor the commitment.

I’ll always defend Jeff Jarrett situation In his situation not his fault he wasn’t paid for the work he did

My understanding of the Paul Varelans ECW story is that he was brought in to put over Taz, who they were selling as a legitimate submission expert, in what was billed as a "shoot fight". There were some concerns, since Varelans was actually a fairly good fighter who made the finals of UFC 7 and lasted over 13 minutes with a prime Marco Ruas, as well as 6'8" and 300 lbs., and if he wanted to, he could've ruined everything by beating the shit out of Taz. To apparently make him more amenable to doing the job, Hyatt promised him a blowjob. So all went down according to plan, and when Varelans came to collect for keeping up his end of the bargain, Hyatt told him "I don't blow jobbers". This didn't go over well with Varelans, who apparently went apeshit and trashed the locker room. Probably not a good idea to make a promise like that to someone that big, trained to fight, and very likely gassed to the gills and then renege.

Mil Mascaras went between the ropes, to the top, then to the outside. Still isn’t eliminated to this day.

Considering all the other things that happened in ECW I wouldn’t be surprised if that missy Hyatt rumour is true

Is this why Al Snow was obsessed with head?!!!😳😂

Lying to wrestlers is not a unique way to convince them to take an L.

I think an honorable mention should be Great American Bash 2004. Eddie Guerrero convinced himself to lose. He was supposed to beat jbl and retain the wwe championship. But personal problems flaring up and the fact that he felt jbl was a main event performer he talked Vince Mcmahon to change the match outcome

This is just ridiculous in hindsight, the Hitman HBK series is 54-3 Hart's favor.

I think it's absolutely hilarious that HBK and Bret fought for years over who had the biggest d*** in WWE, and both found out that it was Hulk Hogan. 😂😂

Well on the last one.... did she follow up on the promise? Lol

I knew Paul Varelans personally. He was my friend’s roommate for years.

Respect to JBL for doing that and yes Shawn knew it was going to be a one shot deal so that’s y he over sold the match funny thing was he got one over on hulk.

Warrior never valued wrestling. Just used it as a ladder to earn more. I don't know why people still love him

so are you telling me, the wwe braintrust thought it was a good for JBL to beat chavo at the first smackdown after eddie's death?!?!?

Can we just get a moment of respect for WhatCulture Wrestling for the epic photo they found for 10:05? That drool! hahahaha

It's weird how fake wins and fake losses matter so much.

I have the first Warrior comic!! Glad you put it on the list!!

The HBK & Bret drama helps me understand why guys like Kane & Undertaker didn’t really care about being champ

Warriors Comic Book came out in 96 when he was still back in the WWF. I'm almost positive it was done by the time he got to WCW. Bischoff is such a bad liar

Missy Hyatt "First lady of wrestling" cover gotta be the greatest book cover I ever seen. Great video 👍👍

To be fair the fued Bret hart vs jerry lawler was a good fued

ECW was the best boys club ever.

Wow JBL. Nice. Also the fact that chavo handled it with grace. Good to see

I mean Taker offered to beat Bret at Survivor Series. Why and how did we come to the conclusion of that being a bad idea?

I used to love Mil Mascaras ! The champ !

That JBL story was sweet.

The only thing surprising about the Paul Varelans story is that anyone actually doubts that ECW ever did that! I'd make an oral contract joke, but it's just too easy...

We hear a lot of bad about JBL. It’s unfortunate that we never hear of the good he did for the WWE.

Boy, that brings new meaning to "Jobber".

Shawn knows what it was like what he did to everyone else

THUMBNAIL GETS US ONCE AGAIN

I don't think that lose that match for JBL at the Eddie tribute was a real trouble. It wouldn't be a trouble to me to honour my best friend (he was his best man at his wedding, after all).

About time this channel talked good about Bradshaw.

I love all the Conrad hosted podcasts and I listened to the one where Bruce loses it about Conrad asking why Hulk had to go over at Wrestlemania IX and it’s one of the funniest things, Conrad and JR have such a good working relationship and JR only gets worked up by stupid decisions and matches they talk about in shows, but he knows how to push Bruce and Eric’s buttons for sure! Hahahaha

British bulldog should won that match in England

Nothing better than a "mouth 👄 hug" 🤗 after a tough loss😂🤗😲

If it was me I would of lost in record time 😁

Actually Bret Hart has said that he confronted Hogan about not wanting to do business with Bret, Hogan was shocked and pulled Hart with him to Vinces office and had it out with the old man, turns out, Vince lied to both of them. He told Hogan that Hart was fine with doing the job and then told Hart that Hogan wouldn't do the honors for him. Also Jeff Jarrett has said that he had no problem jobbing for Chyna, just used the timing to settle accounts.

If you'd did some research you could have read that Vince only gave money he owed to JJ... Cause JJ knew he wouldn't have it if he leaves.

2 things to know about #5 on your list: 1. Bret refused to drop the WWE title in Canada. 2. Bret refused to drop the WWE title to Michaels pretty much ever. He was getting revenge on HBK for scuttling their WM 13 rematch where HBK was supposed to do the job for Hart and put him over for the title. Also you're missing something else Survivor Series 1997 was basically his last match with WWE as he was leaving for WCW,there would be no rematch with HBK.

JBL. doing the right thing.. Wowsers.. Nice touch SIR..

Anyone else get the impression we digressed halfway through this video?

Mil Máscaras always said No Yob.

Welcome Back Adam Wilborn

Among The Legitimate Greats In Pro Wrestling History: Missy Hyatt. Chyna. Bret Hart. Warrior. Hulk Hogan. Eric Bischoff. Sid Vicious. Davey Boy Smith. Adam Page. Paige Van Zant. ANNA JAY.....

Honorable mention, Randy Orton will get Pin by Alexa Bliss. On top of the viper.

The way wilburn say Roooss at 4:52

Wow you can tell the growth of Kurt angle, going from not wanting to lose at all to willing to be squashed by tazz

People forget that Bret Hart had a clause in his contract that if he were to leave the WWF, he would have complete creative control over his wrestling character for the last thirty days he was there. So he had every right to refuse to lose anywhere. I'd like to think if everybody had kept calm and came to their senses, they should have let Bret win and after the match have him give the belt to Vince, shake hands, goodbye, thanks, etc. But not the case as everyone was on a knife edge.

I enjoy these fun facts and more so 😂many fun facts and stories.

Kurt saying " I didnt know anything about pro wrestling." Or as you said....but I think he said, "I don't know squat on entertainment wrestling." He *was* a professional wrestler. An Olympic wrestler ffs.

I think you guys got the Warrior story incorrect. The comic came out in 1996 and was part of his WWF run. I believe the first issue came with WWF magazine at the time. Minor correction.

first time i heard jbl good story

The WWE needs to bring back theFiend and have him go on an undefeated streak like we have never seen before. Then keep him unbeaten at every pay per view event, including summer slam, wrestlemania, etc, and they'll create their biggest star ever for the next decade or more, and fans would absolutely love it. How hard is that?? They could create a bigger star than Hulk Hogan and the Undertaker, by doing that. Ratings would be off the charts, despite it becoming so predictable, and yet it's like the WWE is too stupid to know it

Awesome segment....lol

Warrior's comic only last 4 or 5 issues from I gathered, so unless he planned go reboot it, I'm doubting he wanted to sell comics in WCW. Who knows though.

Okay the thumbnail brought you to this video Dont lie 9:26 thank me later

Technically, Mascaras was never eliminated at all. He stepped through the ropes and climbed to the top from the outside without reestablishing himself in the ring. Therefore he never went over the top rope from inside the ring which is the only way an elimination happens.

Kind of crazy how many of these feature HBK

Good on JBL. Respect.

Interesting concepts to promote wrestlers career's

Hogan should never put HBK over , HBK got out Politic by the Hulkster

Damn. I gotta give JBL Prop's for that one.

JBL has a comic book villain’s sense of Honor

If I'm not mistaken, after Hogan got the title from Yokozuna he didn't even wrestle again until that SummerSlam rematch against Yoko. So he got his own way like a stinkin' baby, PLUS got a 3 month vacation to boot. Nice.

Jbl was a good heel

Regarding Warrior he wanted to work matches but Eric wouldn't allow it. It is in a shoot interview Warrior did in 2005.

I heard that chavo gerello and chriss jericho were the only ones that reached out to chriss beniont's remaining son, the wwe didn't do that

Bulldog was utter shit in 99 during his wwe run. I know hating the wwe is the norm but the moaning about him not being pushed is a bit much. He was beyond atrocious on the mic. Barely able to string a single coherent sentence together. In 99 the WWE was stacked but needed ME ready guys. They would have loved for DBS to be that guy. Go back and watch. Look at how he kill the crowd every time he speaks.

Never thought I'd hear a positive JBL Story

I look at WM9 from a purely business angle and I think the reality of the whole thing is something like this: Hogan was supposed to win the title at WM8, this is well know fact. But Hogan did not win the title. It is likely that Hogan had it in a contract that he wins the title or gets paid some large sum of money. Hogan was only going to be in the WWF for a short period of time in 1993 and he is a bigger draw than Bret so the best business decision is to get the belt on Hogan who is the bigger draw and not have to pay out the contact clause. Knowing Hogan was not going to be in WWF long term and knowing that Bret (or Luger) was going to be their next top wrestler WWF has to get the belt to Hogan without making Bret look weak. WM9 accomplished several things. It got the belt off Bret in controversial fashion and got the belt on Hogan in a way that is a major surprise to the world helping to sell the encore showing of WM9. Bret is protected, the bigger draw has the belt, and you can sell WM9 encore to people who want to see what happened. Hogan was never going to lose to Bret without MAJOR interference as Hulk Hogan is a brand and must protect itself. So the easiest thing to do is get the belt back on Yokozuna in controversial fashion to keep Hogan protected and make Yokozuna the monster heel. Thus when Bret/Luger wins the title they've defeated the monster heel solidifying themselves as #1 while not putting Hogan down. WWF wins, Hogan wins, Bret wins, everyone wins. At the time everyone was happy, Hogan got a bigger pop than Bret. It is only in hindsight that people complain about the whole situation.

Hbk turning in Hogan was brilliant! Kept me rewinding and replaying that SCM to Hogan, For me I felt like Hogan had that coming! And hbks actions at Summer slam just made Hogan look like a joke lol. I loved every second! Screw Hogan lol
