10 Most REALISTIC WWE Angles

[@heelgill]

As a kid, I’d always think that Orton punting people and the aftermath of it was legit. His facial expressions, the quiet commentary, and the clueless crowd. That tells you how impressive Orton truly is.

[@PopeyeBjj86]

I was truly behind the punt until the camera job with ric

[@Naruto0s44]

Well he's definitely stupid. Squaring up to brock that time was pretty brave but that's about it.

[@101Youfail]

I’ll say he is brave for trying to stick up for Randy Orton. I’ll give him credit for that. Though his political views and throwing concerts during a pandemic also make him seem a bit stupid as well.

[@madamefeast4824]

@@LuchadorMasque I am no fan of Trump but it's frightening that people still believe there are any good politicians on both sides that high up in government. Going strictly by their voting records and their connections, they are all terrible. I could care less what they say, I mean objectively what they do. Giving money to Trump or Biden or Clinton or Bush or any of them. They are equal. It used to be common knowledge and the only people who were very party affiliated were wealthy people or old people. The past few years I've seen alot of young people really cling to a side. And it's terrifying.

[@am36723]

[@professoreinstein6]

That Matt Hardy storyline was way too real! That's the first time I remember WWE getting that real and I believed every minute of it.

[@tequilapapii5936]

I truly believed the Pillman / Austin storyline . Legit scared me as a child. 😂 But Austin beating up Pillman’s ‘friends’ outside the house will forever live in my mind rent free.

[@diezel308]

No joke, when I was 12 years old it was that Shawn Michaels/Owen match that got me hooked into wrestling. I had known of wrestling and seen it here and there but I remember that night flipping channels and catching Michaels collapsing almost right as it happened and thinking "Wait, did I just see a guy die on TV?"

[@SheriffOutlaw]

I do remember when Jeff's entrance went wrong! I remember almost falling off my bed seeing that, and I legit said before it happened, "something wrong is about to happen"....didn't think THAT would happen Plus when Brock brutalized Gowen.....geez baneez! 03' Lesnar was definitely his darkest run as a heel pre 13'-14 return

[@plssushi]

I'd give an honorable mention to Miz vs Ziggler at No Mercy. I remember Ziggler selling that he was actually gonna start doing comedy full-time and many people fell for it.

[@werglaubtwirdselig]

That picture of the Ultimate Warrior was truly terrifying.

[@NickMichalak]

The HBK vs Owen match was interesting because WWF President Gorilla Monsoon had opened up match suggestions to fans at that time. You could write or email in your requests, and wouldn't you know it, I requested Shawn vs Owen. I'm sure there were many asking for that match, anyway, but just imagine how badly all us youngsters got worked by this. You request this hot match, and it gets HBK injured and stretchered out on live TV. Ugh!

[@y2empleh]

I was a 12 year old kid at the Richmond Raw where Michaels collapsed. Completely traumatized me. My dad wasn’t sure if it was real or not and worried he just took his son to a show so he could watch his hero die.

[@FreeElChapoNow]

“His big floppy snake” lmao 😂

[@ianmacgregor7518]

Dang guys.......How do you not have Val Venus and Kaientai on this list....I mean how much more real can you get than Yamaguchi-San's "CHOPPY CHOPPY THE PEE PEE!!!!!!"

[@a.j.santiago303]

Jake Roberts is an absolute legend. He could hold a masterclass on heel tactics and ring psychology. I remember the two incidents on this list, plus the angle where he and Undertaker sealed Ultimate Warrior in a casket. WWF sports-entertained their way out of that since Warrior was "locked" in that thing for a few minutes, and if he had been presented as a normal human, the outcome might have disturbing to say the least. (If Cultaholic ever makes a 'Most Sadistic Heels' video, prime-era Jake might top 'em all!) I almost forgot the Bass/Beefcake angle, which was indeed shocking for the time.

[@Brodysseus]

If I remember right, Big Show was the one who called for Mayweather to actually break his nose.

[@denniswebb341]

Nah, he invited him to hit him but Mayweather went too far. Also shows why Mayweather did nothing but run in the ring, free legit shots and never even dizzied the Show.

I saw the police report at the time (i'm from the area) and it only mentioned 1 guy other than Michaels in the "attack" (at least the paper i read only mentioned one other person physically involved) so the perpetuation of Shawn being jumped by multiple people (while i do believe multiple people would want to beat his ass back then) is not the best look.....also i realize this video is almost 2 years old so they may have said something to the contrary at some point after but i haven't seen it lol
