10 Incredible WWE Attitude Era Moments Nobody Ever Talks About

[@user-ov7uv3wx6i]

Where did you get Stevie Richards from? Where did you come up with that?

[@richcymru3976]

@user-ov7uv3wx6i shortly after the Benoit situation they replaced the records on their website to say Stevie Richards won the Royal Rumble instead of Benoit, then the Internet just went with it. If you Google image search "Benoit Stevie Richards" I'm sure some will still live on.

I think Rikishi’s jump off the top of the cage was more impressive than his fall off the hell in a cell at Armageddon. I definitely think the hay truck down below cushioned his fall.

[@Rayzersword]

He also fell backward off the cell though, so I would say it's pretty close.

[@brandonsmith5880]

Yes the HIAC fall was weak AF. His leap from the top of the cage was impressive for both wrestlers involved.

100% agreed. I have sweared half of these are even in existing WhatCulture & many MANY similar other channel weekly lists.

[@MyPronounsISwhom]

To be quite honest on such a touchy subject as the Chris Benoit subject is for the organization and for many fans who know of the tragedy, I think it was very classy, super intelligent on your word choice, and very respectable your way in words around that topic during this video. A true work of art, to be so factual yet taking your stance not necessarily withstanding amongst the fans who miss their old favorite wrestler. Respect

[@artwarda5285]

Agreed. His ring work was some of the best work, and he was phenomenal in the ring. But a lot of people can differ character and real life. But the same people will talk up Snuka but bury Beniot. It is possible to admire the ring work of the character, but hate and despise the person

[@TheBeelzboss]

It really sucks that Saturn and Malinko weren't used very well in WWF, they were so fucking good. All four of them were top talent.

[@Cloud21283]

Saturn got himself in trouble and they tried to bury him with the moppy gimmick but he was so talented he made it work. With Malenko, I think they just wanted him to be someone he wasnt. Instead of embracing his Iceman gimmick and just letting him be a technical machine, they wanted to try to make him charismatic and more marketable somehow and ended up turning him into a weird sex addicted creep. Poor booking choices for both of them for sure.

What's funny is that the commentators and other wrestlers never aknowledged Undi's biker persona on-screen during that brief 1999 stint. Us fans were probably like "Wait, why does he look like that now?", and the Fed were like "just roll with it".

A couple more: HHH first referenced his "King of Kings"moniker in 1998 when he challenged Owen and Shamrock to a triple threat after the KOTR PPV. He also referred to himself as "Triple H" on tv the first time in December 1995 during an interview with Brother Love.

[@Aigiotis]

How about the fact that they ran a very random one-off storyline where Edge fought Val Venis on Raw, and they made a big deal over the fact that Edge was (shoot) engaged to Venis's sister at the time? Then after the match, Edge said Venis wouldn't be his best man, Christian would be. One week later, zero mention of this. And much like Adam Copeland's first marriage, it disappeared quickly.

I like how they said "Chris Benoit's career was intertwined with wrestlers who really do deserve to be mentioned"....I mean, Benoit doessss deserve to be mentioned. Maybe im alone, maybe this is a highly unpopular opinion but Benoits wrestling career was amazing. His personal life is clearly awful, no arguing that, but his in ring career should be noted. That night where him & Eddie stood in the ring, both as champions, is one of the best moments of that WWE Era. It deserves to be noted, & his career as a great wrestler, willing to put even his severely degenerated brain on the line to wrestle, should be noted. So to say he doesn't deserve to be mentioned is nonsense & I know I'll get hate because of his life ending decisions but you cannot deny his in ring contributions.

[@hbkx5]

You are not the only one who feels that way.

[@InuJus10]

Wrestling is the reason he did what he did. People like Vince and Bischoff weren't make sure he was safe. They wanted to make money, human cost be damned. Beniot, his victims and many others are victim of the carny fucks like Vince.

Claiming no one talks about the most famous thing Shane McMahon has ever done is an interesting decision

[@NcWcN1]

There was an even earlier iteration of proto-ABA Undertaker (sunglasses, bandanna, the works) that people say that it was Mark being pissed off at a real-life setback (his luggage was lost by the airport), and Mark being upset was written as Taker being upset and demanding to see Vince throughout the evening--see the Jun. 8th, 1998 RAW for this specific event; Taker interfered on the Chainz vs. Droz (already concluded), Mark Henry vs. Vader (seemingly a no contest due to the interference), Dustin Runnels vs. Val Venis (also a no contest) matches; as well as the "Humanitarian of the Year" ceremony. On the other hand, Vince also loaned other former-ECW talent to ECW although this was even obscurer--the Dudley Boyz made an appearance on one of the last ECW TV shows (Dec. 15th, 2000) tagging with Tommy Dreamer against CW Anderson, Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger.
