1, Jim Cornette suggested screwing Bret Hart as a joke to Vince as a solution to the problem of Bret leaving. He was not actually involved in the conspiracy. 2, it's "Kay-fay-buh" not "Kay-fob". 3, While Brock Lesnar is a big beefy boi, there is no way they could have opened the emergency door at that altitude. 4, "Mooluh" not "Moo-lah" 5, Owen Hart was supposed to wrestle The Godfather, not Jeff Jarrett. Also "Jarr-ett" not "Jarr-ott". 6, "Bruiser Brody" not "The Bruiser Brody". 7, Chris "Ben-wah" not "Ben-oyt". Honestly guys, if you want someone to proofread these things, I'm more than happy to help.

[@michaelkeller5927]

Lots of mooooo in his moolah lol

[@TheTootyFrooty]

If you are going to cover a wrestler in the No.1 spot at least be bothered to do the minimum effort in research and pronounce his name correctly.

[@jaykirizz219]

Literally clicked the comments to type this and saw this at the very top 🤦‍♂️ I literally stopped watching the second after hearing “Ben-oyt”

[@jaykirizz219]

You can tell somebody else does the research and writes the script while this guy just reads/narrates it while having no clue what he’s talking Bout. When it shows his face , you can even see his pupils moving to read the script behind the camera

[@paulmcadam6825]

Ben wah is the correct pronunciation

[@jodiecrosby7819]

He's not the best presenter. I prefer Karl. Erics voice sounds like AI, lifeless. And that was a pretty obvious mistake.

[@nathannewman3968]

Yeah, listening to him butcher Benoit's name so many times in just one minute was brutal on my ears.

[@RazHolly]

“When fans hear the name Chris Ben-noit…” they’re going to think who TF is this guy talking about??? It’s not “Ben-Noit,” it’s “Ben-Wah.” Like Dubois isn’t “Doo-Bois” it’s “Doo-Bwah.”

[@emerje0]

You didn't finish the Owen Hart controversy. Not only does he die in front of a stunned crowd of fans, friends and family (not that controversial on its own, it was an accident), Vince decided "the show must go on" and they kept the show going forcing the still in shock wrestlers to continue doing promos and having matches. While Owen's death was a tragic accident, continuing the show knowing he had had most certainly died is considered one of the most deplorable things Vince has ever done.

[@RCT1963]

Chris BEN-WAH

[@somejerkbag]

I always called him Bean-oite as a kid 😂

[@SpaceReptilioid]

Is he French-Canadian?

[@witecatj6007]

Yes, he was.

[@Markvantilborgh1982]

DUDE U NEED SPEECH LESSONS! Jeff Jarrat Ben-oit? Cant even pronounce Kayfabe

[@pepperonipounder]

No offense to this gentleman but I do prefer Mr Smallwood's interpretation of tenz.

[@Vinceras]

Lost me at Kay-FOB.

[@rayhs1984]

Only 5 mispronunciations.

[@claytonberg721]

To be fair if it was whistler it would have been worse.

[@Row2501]

You should look up pronunciation for names. Especially for famous or well know people.

[@j.p.6932]

0:32 “Squared circle”? I’ve never heard that phrase before, and it makes zero sense. Just say “the ring”.

[@TheHookBoy]

Dude, just by looking at the comments, I’d highly suggest you delete and redo this video. I’m not a fan of wrestling and this video popped up on autoplay, but even I was a little shocked with things in this video.

[@anti-liberal7167]

Kay-Fabe not Kay-Fod

[@Docmain3]

Dude mispronounces like 7 names and 4 other words.

[@MrGozer23]

For Benoit, he had recently learned one of his best friends had died. Also, he had many head injuries due to actually taking metal chairs to his head among other stunts. None of that excuses him, but it might explain his sudden and horrible end.

[@Nostripe361]

Head trauma leading to violent outbursts has been a growing controversy in multiple sports

[@MrGozer23]

@@Nostripe361 Chris had his brain looked at a while before his end and he apparently had the brain of an 81 year old alzheimers patient. That's serious damage which he wanted to take, but he should have been stopped.

[@multiyapples]

@@MrGozer23he was more brain damaged then some want to acknowledge and more aware then others want to acknowledge. We’ll never truly know how much of the real Chris Benoit was there those final 3 days.

[@SEAZNDragon]

That and possible steroid use. No wonder WWE doesn't want to mention Benoit; too much negative spot light on them

[@joshuagibson2520]

Sorry, but I miss Kal Smallwood.

[@Kruhn]

The death of Bruiser Brody was in 1988 and it is Invader #1, not #2.

[@michaelkeller5927]

Misinformation in almost every entry. Horrible

[@GeorgieB1965]

Who basically got away with it.

[@kitorme7062]

You make any attempt to learn how to pronounce Benoit

[@lordtywin4149]

Dude you pronounce more stuff wrong than that British guy that used to host

[@corvega_joe]

Thank you. It’s kinda unprofessional. Kay-fab? Ben-oit?

[@Erin-Thor]

Has your account been hacked?

[@giantred]

I send my hopes that this guy is able to grow into his presenting role.

[@marksolarz3756]

What a list of nonsense. Political Correctness.

[@Zackaria_sMax]

Bring back Kyle Tinytree!!! This dude's woods are waaay too large!

[@SledgeGaryHammer]

kayeFABE not fob

[@ElaineClush]

“jeff jahrit”

[@ericmalikyte885]

Here's an idea. Why not just call it a fourth wall break like pretty much every other form of entertainment uses instead of an obscure acronym? How else can I tell you guys I don't watch wrestling?

[@m747hvy6]

I know fk all about wrestling but even I know that Benoit is not pronounced like that. Dude...

[@ThatDangBee]

Where Karl

[@deejmalik]

Would have been nice if they had done some pronunciation checks before filming, every possible mispronunciation was hit!

[@emerje0]

He didn't say "Vince Mac-may-hon" like I've heard others say.

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

Surely Bruiser Brody is number one because that's still not even solved even though everyone knew what happened ok had to edit this hes number 2 because number one was exactly what it should have been. I stand corrected great list right here

[@davidmills7935]

Karl would have known how to use a pronunciation guide.

[@rzrnyte143]

Nice to know our 16th president was Ahb Lincoln, not Abe.....

[@MrChuckGrape]

This is going to get real dark real quick

[@null.psyche]

"Ben-Oyt" lol

[@AldershotDave]

"I hope you found this video to be both enlightening" is not a complete sentence! What, in addition to finding the video enlightening were you wanting the viewer to do?!

[@mtspro]

Should rename the video to “Shocking WWE Controversies” as 9 of 10 are from WWE. Kinda surprised the Mass Transit Incident didn’t make the list

[@BaldingClamydia]

5:45 Being at a high altitude makes the effects of alcohol much stronger. It's why most plane rides will limit their passengers alcohol intake Benoit = Ben- wah

[@Jim4815162342]

To be fair, I think he's a fine presenter when he knows the topic. But man, the mispronunciations are distracting.

[@multiyapples]

Rest in peace to those that passed away. As a pro wrestling fan I’ve heard of these. Some minor corrections: Kayfabe is pronounced kayfabe. It kayfob. Jeff Jarrett not Jeff Jarrod. It’s Chris Benoit is pronounced Chris Benwa. Other then that the list was great.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Suggestion: Top 10 best epithats for monarchs

[@j.p.6932]

1:38 They only have one belt? I thought every winner got a copy.

[@Noyb.265]

#1. It's fake. Oh, shoot. Wait. That's reality, not a controversy.

[@benjaminclark4030]

Obviously this narrator is not a wrestling fan, but I still don't understand how it's possible to mispronounce so many names?!?

[@Mach5Johnny]

I’m gonna be pissed if New Jack isn’t on this list! Haha

[@emerje0]

How do you even pick just one thing with New Jack, he could have his own top 10 list!

[@Mach5Johnny]

@@emerje0 ya no shit! Haha New Jack is basically if GG Allin and Dave Chappelle had a really fucked up baby together and that baby grew up to be a wrestler!… Count Dankula did a hilarious and awesome Mad Lads video on him and I highly recommend watching it! You’ll thank me later.

[@AldershotDave]

FFS!!! "Benoit" is pronounced "Ben-wah"!!

[@somejerkbag]

That child murderer doesn't deserve to have his name pronounced correctly

[@j.p.6932]

BRING BACK KARL!

[@j.p.6932]

2:22 Isn’t it pronounced “Kay fabe (like babe”)?

[@EricDahlstrom-t7c]

Been years since I've been on the net,what happened to Simonn?

[@Chalky.]

First Simon, Now Karl?

[@emerje0]

He had been calling himself a temporary host from the beginning. I hope this guy isn't the new permanent host. He can read a prompter but has no enthusiasm. A least he's an anime fan I guess...

[@alicialuxx8210]

benoit is ronounced ben-wa. its french so the oit makes a different sound than english words would (i'm a benoit so i know)

[@MF_UNDERTOW]

If Karl doesn’t come back, I’m done with this channel

[@angelia3567]

You really should learn to pronounce the names right if ya gonna make a video about the subject. Example... Benwa

[@Brownyman]

No on ever mentions Jimmy Snuka.

[@EricDahlstrom-t7c]

My cousin s ex ended up w necrobutcher,and rented a room in his house,my brother called n told me,I didn't believe him,but seen him when I went over.i couldn't believe it,bc he was well known .he told us all kinds of crazy stories

[@MaWa-pw6fg]

4:49 who could blame them? everyone. nothing wrong with what hogan said 🤦‍♀️

[@grumpyoldnord]

So... many... mispronunciations...

[@fartsmcklintock7030]

BEN-OIGHT.

[@Timsmith13911]

I thought Karl did this show now

[@thraxlol]

How did this guy pass the interview? Bring back Karl! Zero personality and horrific butchering of what could have been good content.

[@bretmaples]

IT'S PRONOUNCED BEN-WAH! Whe. Is Karl coming back?

[@marvelsProtege]

Is that how they say his name in Canada 🍁 The last one

[@TotalTennisGeek]

Uhm, what happened to Simon Whistler? 👀

[@801russc]

Buhnoint... what... ca-mon Eric!

[@outlawrailfan129]

I’ve followed this channel for years and love the content most times. However, the lack of effort into learning pronunciation of names just seems lazy and disrespectful in my opinion.

[@DavidThomas-fk4hj]

“Benoit”?!? Come on man…. French Canadian, pal. Pronounced “Benwah”. Hey, can I apply for your job?

[@AnnaAnna-uc2ff]

Thank you.

[@sarahwbs]

So has Karl officially been replaced?

[@mikeayurveda]

Hope not

[@onetwo1013]

You get a👎for butchering that name. Shame on you.

[@Shintigercurl]

Correction: Owen was not going to wrestle Jeff Jarrett at the time of the accident. Jarrett was wrestling the match after that. Owen was facing the godfather, a wrestling pimp. As a bit of advice, if you are going to do a vid on wrestling, at least do some research and learn how to pronounce the names correctly.

[@bt0694]

Mick Foley!! If you haven’t read Have A Nice Day, you really should! Mick is so smart and funny, it’s hard to believe what a lunatic he acted like in the ring! Hell in the Cell with ‘Taker is still probably the best match I have ever seen!

[@drudawg911]

K fob? Wtf lol

[@stephenvalencia412]

It's k- Fabe. K-Faaaaaabe Abe.

[@ToptenzNettop10]

Everyone else calls it a fourth wall break. There you go. Problem solved.

[@randallpetroelje3913]

Ben wah balls doing a smack down with the old school wrestling teams. Bou

[@rzrnyte143]

I seriously hope this guy never does a video again

[@mitchellwatkins6123]

Damn that hurt hearing how badly you butchered chris Benoit's name. It's a name that deserves no respect but is also one of the easiest things to Google and see one of the hundreds of stories on him with correct pronunciations.

[@heatherrennie2692]

I watched that WWF of Owen Hart's Death. His harness malfunctioned and he hit his head on the corner of the ring.. which his head was violently got back. He was becoming a fantastic wrestler shame he died way too young. Also, Chris Benoit killed his family and then shot himself... there was another guy who hung around with Owen Hart. This guy had curly hair.

[@AldershotDave]

Why bleep out the word "rape"?? JEESH!!

[@gr8drummerdude]

Your mispronouncing all the names and terms made my ears bleed. Jeez almighty. Do your homework next time. Bush league content.

[@marvelsProtege]

1:52 that was a bull reason he couldn't of left with it and go on WCW it was a lie told by son

[@MudSluggerBP]

Wtf is kayfarb? 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@CJDilag]

Gawd. Doing this topic injustice by the mispronunciations and incomplete info

[@BlackWolfessUSCM]

thats pronounced Ben WA. Benoit is french and he was from french canada .

[@AldershotDave]

What's wrong with delving into a fresh controversy?!

[@emerje0]

Depending on how fresh they are you end up with a lot of "allegedlies".

[@christophermoran9089]

This guy is just not good, sadly. Bring back the British guy.

[@scootermike8003]

Should have done some fact checking as well as learn how to pronounce names and wrestling terms. Kayfabe, HHH and Shawn were babyfaces, Hall and Nash were heels. Owen was scheduled to fight The Godfather not Jeff Jerrett or Jeff Jarrett also he wasn't soaring in on a zipline, he was being dropped straight down with a rope. Benoit was mispronounced. Thumbnail was misleading.

[@markharris1730]

Chris BENOIT is pronounced "BENWAH". This is the second Canadian thing this man has butchered in 2 weeks...let's see what next week holds 😂.

[@hannibalchow8492]

I expected better from Top Tenz, narrator sucks but the writers could have done bette. And who is this boring guy??? First off he botched so much it’s embarrassing and why do we keep getting this guy with low quality voice, low quality microphone and he puts little to no effort into his videos. I’m very close to unsubscribing. Some people are right for the job and some aren’t and this guy isn’t. I don’t watch his videos because of how low quality, low performance, low personality and little effort he puts into it. He just reads, with no personality.

[@notaKROOK]

Ben wah. As in balls. Which you clearly lack now that’s Simon’s gone. Not doing the research to pronounce the name of the person of the number one story correctly right just shows how little the new team cares.

[@michaelmckeon2138]

I stopped watching this channel because of Simon. I see wrestling, I see a new Host, I think ok. I was wrong. Not only did you mispronounce every other word, you're very first entry claims that the Montreal screw job was to stop bret from taking the title to wcw. It's well established that the plan was for bret to drop it the next day, when he wasn't in his hometown. I stopped watching the and judging from the comments I'm glad I did. Back to blocking this and every other project that Simon has been involved with Eta: really pissed when i see a channel i unsubbed years ago telling me I'm subscribed.....

[@seanmacy8419]

I agree the video was bad, but I disagree with your point about the screw job. As far as I’ve ever heard, yes the plan was for Bret to drop the title at Raw before going to WCW. Vince grew paranoid that Bret wouldn’t go through with it (Vince was wrong), and decided to pull the screw job.

[@MikefromTexas1]

Benoit is pronounced "Ben-wah". C'mon bro. All this research.😂

[@pepperonipounder]

BENN OI EET

[@ChopsticksMcguffin]

Stop muckin' around.

[@nothingmusic42]

you have seriously got to learn how to pronounce people's names correctly. Chris BEN-wah, not ben-oit. who the hell is Jeff Jurett? you mean Jeff Jarrett? pronouncing and spelling his name was literally his gimmick, how do you get it wrong?

[@djbenoit-gs3ds]

Learn how to say Benoit correctly.

[@ItsyaboiDillon]

Hi

[@joshuakerr5801]
