10 Most Controversial WWE Shows Ever

[@venomousnate7263]

It’s been said before, but what happened with the Curtain Call is a huge butterfly effect in wrestling. If the Curtain Call never happened, we wouldn’t have the iconic Austin 3:16 promo and seeds being planted for the Attitude Era.

[@Miguel-mp7uz]

Wrong. The story is never told correctly....no one actually got heat in the back. Hunter was never a lock to win king of the ring either. It's all b.s. to make people think some other narrative.

[@zsu-23-4shilka2]

“Austin 3:16 says ‘I just whipped your ass!’” is an iconic promo.

[@AnthonyMackONE]

Hunter was “punished” for roughly five months, and Stone Cold was still getting mid-card matches after his iconic promo. WWE likes to push the narrative that Stone Cold skyrocketed directly after that promo.

[@bhaskunju]

@@AnthonyMackONE as someone who was actually around to watch that era unfold, it did start Austin's rise. He was having mid card matches but his popularity was very clear. The main event scene at that time was dull and Austin got into a feud with Hart soon after and that helped his rise further. 6mths after that promo he won the Rumble

[@suresage9495]

@@bhaskunju ​ Stone Cold was on the pre show at Summerslam that year and wasn't on the following PPV (IYH: Mind Games) at all. The idea that his popularity skyrocketed immediately after the 3:16 promo is indeed a myth.

[@dwaterson21]

Quick correction: That bloodstain on the canvas at Over the Edge 1999 was not from Owen. It was from a blood bath done by The Brood on Sunday Night Heat. If you look at the canvas, the stain is already there at the beginning of the PPV. Owen Hart's injuries only caused internal bleeding and severe blunt-force hemorrhaging. He had no external bleeding.

He spoke on it and said that he knew what had to be done, because he was the smaller draw, and Shawn was the champ, so he took the fall. Vince said that's what made him start liking Hunter, because of what he did, and that's why he started getting the pushes that he did.

Continuing the show kept the crowd in the seats. It allowed the paramedics time to get Owen out without having to fight a crowd, and generally kept people from panicking. As tragic as it was it does seem like the most logical move to make in that scenario.

[@aidanthomas2510]

Yeah that's why I say Martha has every right to never forgive Vince and the WWE for that and their negligence. I get why Bret forgave them to some extent, given the way things turned out for him, but honestly I could never forgive them either if it were me.

WWE would never use the Over the Edge name again after 1999.

[@adamgough9333]

They had no confirmation from the authorities, but several of the wrestlers knew enough to have had the tribute put at least on hold. Regal, Chavo and others in WWE had received very unsettling messages from Benoit, making it quite clear that something deeper was happening. Regal even refused to speak about Benoit on a personal level for the tribute show, just saying he was a great wrestler. They knew it wasn't just an accident. They really should have postponed a full on tribute, based on what they aready knew.

[@Veladus]

It's hard to know for sure because the episode has been Thanos Snapped from existence, but I remember the next day thinking some of the wrestlers giving speeches were weary, as if they suspected what happened. Which is not only likely, those close to him would have to be idiots not to realize he was nuts at that point. He had *SEVERE* CTE and wasn't playing with a full deck for a while leading up to it. It's been almost 20 years so it's hard to remember it all, but I remember them saying that, for example, he was paranoid and always thought he was being followed, so he'd never take the same route twice. A lot of people took that to mean there really were people after him and he was innocent, but sadly it's just symptoms of his brains being mashed potatoes. WWE damn well knew it too, despite claiming the events weren't related to CTE and he just did it because he's evil or some such. The kinds of moves that caused his CTE was instantly and universally banned, and there's no reason for that if CTE wasn't behind him going bonkers. But I digress. Like I said, they might not have known he was >murderously< insane, but those near him had to know he wasn't playing with a full deck.

Over The Edge even as a name of a B-tier PPV was just odd, seeing that it was never thought of before especially with a ominous character like The Undertaker in the company since 1990 and already had themed PPVs named around his gimmick and personality traits (IYHs Buried Alive, A Cold Day in Hell, Badd Blood, and Judgment Day) so that alone just makes it harder to ever think Hunter or Shawn would want to reuse a name of a show both of them were unfortunately apart of and lost a colleague and friend in the process 😢😢😢 I can't ever find myself searching for a Benoit match to see just as a wrestling fan because what he did those 3 days erased all the hard work that he put in for 25-30 years and he'll never get the credit for any of it. The rivalries, matches, championships, and accomplishments GONE forever and infinity ♾️😢 RIP "Woman" Nancy and Daniel

[@Obscusion2]

If I remember correctly, there was actually a separate court case in the early 2010s where Martha tried to prevent WWE from ever making any sort of money off of (or even make reference to) Owen in any way, I believe due to the launch of the WWE Network & WWE wanting to make the Hart of Gold documentary/tribute DVD set. Essentially, Martha wanted to prevent WWE from ever making any more money at all off of Owen & the courts actually wound up siding with WWE, since Marth's demands were too harsh (Owen would have had to have been edited out of every show he was a part of on the Network, to comply), which allowed the Hart of Gold DVD set to see release in 2015, and WWE is legally allowed to reference Owen & show archival footage of him whenever they want, & I believe any Owen Hart royalties from WWE Network/Peacock & home video releases go to the Owen Hart Foundation, in turn. WWE is just very selective about when it references Owen today, due to the bad blood with Martha.

And i was about to not watch anymore because I thought they were making wrestlers cut tribute promos about Vince because I hadn't heard about the Benoit family situation before i turned it on. Intrigued, i wanted to see where it was going. Then i was a bit sad when it came on and they were talking about the situation. I wanted to call my dad, who was at the casino with my mom l, but figured he wouldn't be able to hear. And i felt bad for mocking Punk during the commercial. Had I heard him say Chris Benoit, I would have been like what the heck? But i was under the impression that he was crying over Vince. Also heairng about Owen's death late at night on the news. Before bed. Justying the trying to fall sleep. That was sadder because i was a big Owen fan. Some of the kids at school were sad about it too. Took me awhile to find an action figure of him. I used the John Smith from McDonald's pochantas toy for awhile. The Hills store was going out of business, so i went like a day or two later and got the Owen and Rock nation two pack. I had some Bkue Blazer figures too. Sadly all of my figures were thrown away or lost between moves.

I was 19 years old when Owen Hart died. Because I didn't watch the PPV. I didn't know the next night on Raw. Chris Benoit family murder and his suicide was shocking. Never expected that he done. Thought it could been a robbery gone wrong.

[@multiyapples]

I wasn’t watching WWE until 2010 but I can imagine watching the Benoit tribute episode and Over the Edge 1999 would be hard to watch.

[@arleneconverse1238]

Men show their chest on TV and face no penalties

[@JamesJohnson-l6y]

It's an excellent thing that ECW's "December to Disremember" is ONE & DONE on PPV!!!

[@Cameron_611]

Technically the blood from Over the Edge came from that bloodbath from the Brood but it was still the darkest day in wrestling besides the Chris Benoit situation.

[@lewisgrant7622]

The curtain call was also why triple h had loss after loss until either 98 or 99 because that was his punishment

[@livelifeent7528]

I understand Owen wife’s anger but I think it’s horrible she doesn’t let wwe acknowledge him cause I feel lik it hurts his legacy only cause the new generation will solely know him as Bret’s lil brother instead of the 2x slammy winner and as one of these or if and these greatest high flyer/ tec wrestlers of all time

[@tubebammy]

"The show, much like Benoit himself, has been permanently erased from WWE history" FLAG ON THE PLAY! FLAG ON THE GODDAMN PLAY!!!

[@omarvazquez3355]

Haven't watched the video but I'm sure over the edge 99 and vengeance 07 are on here. 😮

[@karlc2869]

This list should have included WWE mocking Britney. I mean, Vince, Johnny Ace and Kevin Dunn need to apologize for that too.

[@JimmySands-pd7xt]

Still can’t believe they aired the Benoit tribute show without knowing the full details, doesn’t take a genius to figure out that the three dead bodies could be the result of a double-murder suicide

[@slashloveruk]

I remember at the time that they'd just moved house and people theorised carbon monoxide poisoning. They've asked before we knew anything about the texts and phone calls.

[@JimmySands-pd7xt]

@@slashloveruk that theory was definitely plausible, I’m just amazed they didn’t wait until they 100% knew what happened just in case it was something more sinister than that

[@rc0057]

Great vid :)

[@destinholland3399]

That was not Owen Hart’s blood in the ring. That was Matt Hardy’s watch the episode of heat that happened before the pay-per-view. It’s on Peacock.

[@ceeaye3170]

with Vince out, now we need a Owen tribute! he deserves it.

[@Pestilencegaming1]

I'll never forget seeing Owen fall. I was 10 years old. It was my first ever live event.

[@eddiemurphy2208]

11:35 it was a hit he broke stone colds neck and it costed the company and The talent so much money for hurting the top guy of the card

[@AmazedBunion]

imagine Seth having to get held back from Tony Kahn after a bad match.

[@lilpoetat]

Thanks 🎉

[@kingoneil4644]

Im in business for myself, horsemen business

[@Shabazz23]

I still think UPN was in the wrong for the Muhammad Hassan fiaso

[@beauhannon9346]

the curtain call is funny to look at now when two of the guys are running wwe now

[@lilonehuh]

How many times can you remake the same video ?

[@surajsharma3703]

Istg, they rehash this same thing atleast 10 times a year.

[@thestranger9608]

He needs those YT dollars

[@ageishyena3035]

8 months late to the party... but to this day I think Owen pissed the wrong person off with his pranks. That's a hill I'll die on.

[@alkebulanshujaaogun5152]

What about the episode when val venis got his thing sliced off?

[@frostedbutts4340]

Should have gone all the way and had Val come out as Miss Venus next week lmao

[@MartinRubio-s8f]

RIP bray wyatt u are missed

[@greasy2007]

So (#3) when does that contract expire?

[@UKenn78]

I was in the audience for both hell in a cell 2019 and the July 2005 SmackDown. Hell in a cell was definitely the worst pay-per-view I’ve ever been at, whereas if anyone asks about that smack down, I don’t refer to Mohammed Hassan, instead, I mention the bWo.

[@lukeborne3253]

Over the edge 99 makes my blood boil every time I hear about it
