[@sebastianraphaelbiggs127]

I don't get why they don't just get sponsors and special advertising it, just an advert inbetween matches, before the show, and have posters on the guardrail

[@BowerBomB]

Oh right yeah because it's dead simple for someone to convince a company to fund a fledgling wrestling company in the UK in exchange for a few adverts in the middle of online shows on KZbin?? Are they supposed to go on to dragons den??

[@BowerBomB]

why shouldn't you? does the talent not deserve to be paid?? The key is the phrase PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING. how can you be a professional if you aren't making money??

[@smarkhaven]

"Not everything's a sound investment for example..." What culture extra

[@JoshBlanksby]

smarkhaven Do you know that? Have you tried it? Did you even see all the extra content they're offering?

[@smarkhaven]

I wrote it as a joke. I don;t really care about What Culture Extra but good on them for trying something new.

[@rockrollz6784]

Sick guys like King Ross are the only reason people should pay for this unsick content

[@espurious]

Unfortunately no King Ross content that I saw

[@rockrollz6784]

espurious Dammit KING ROSS I DEMAND YOU MAKE CONTENT NOW YOU!!!!

[@FlyGuy3643]

It's fucked up what they doing to Zack Ryder.. he had a huge emotional moment in Wrestlemania.. had the crowd saying "you deserve it" which he did and he literally lost it the next night... to the Miz. In front of his dad. Like c'mon now.

[@damightybenstein]

What was even worse was Maryse coming back full-time as opposed to only making a one-off appearance to screw Ryder out of the title.

[@hitman321100]

Lol Thank god. Theire is no way Ryder would be doing as good as job as the miz.

[@kylem.7466]

So just curious, how is the Miz working out now?

[@hitman321100]

Kyle Shade Have you not been watching smackdown lately? Hes been awesome and hes a true legitimate heel

[@kylem.7466]

John Nider No I haven't. The most recent I've heard is that they made up a new title.

[@agsconnolly]

They spent $30,000 on a burns-effect mask for Kane that was never used.

[@ZARK0_]

is there any pics of this mask

[@agsconnolly]

Probably not as it was never used but I guess it's possible. They apparently bought it from Hollywood.

[@Groaker]

I will NEVER for the life of me understand Ryder's burial. Christ, the man came pre-prepared with merch, loyalty, young fans, smark-approval, in-ring ability, mic-skills and a look that could go on a morning show. THERE was your new Cena, WWE. If they pushed him to the moon, he could have taken the WWE to Mars.

[@dylanogg347]

"Martians, take notice!"

[@Super.AE17]

Nope

[@Genophage]

Hopefully this video will not get spammed with dislikes after that WhatCulture Extra announcement!

[@THEWIV1]

John Bederick it probably will for all of their videos for the remainder of time. Just look at screen junkies. Why don't people want what they like to succeed? At least it not Watchmojo who just floods KZbin with trash for money

[@Genophage]

Jack Wivell In youtube and internet in general there is just the mentality, that if someone is going to make extra content and making it cost real money, they are instantly just money hungry bastards. (I don't think that myself, I think that it's great way to provide some extra content for the really loyal fans.)

Bobby Lashley was the shit

[@BIadelores]

***** He wasn't ready for the push that he got, he needed more time to find a charismatic style, but he was a great entertainer in ring. Luckily he got much better and he's a pretty awesome MMA fighter as well.

[@alexportway2280]

not buying UFC in its infancy like shane wanted, and now how much was it sold for?!!!!

[@korytoombs886]

THE UFC wouldn't be the same if they had bought it = value not as high.

Lets be honest they'd run UFC into the ground either out of spite or legit incompetence.

[@iorilamia]

Daniel Espinoz hell no

[@GeeGollyItsJosh]

The biggest waste wasn't from a story line perspective with the Nexus but from what their careers could have been. Cena no-sells that DDT onto concrete and it's the punctuation mark on the frustration for the whole storyline. The Nexus was such a hot angle that got turned into awfulness by all around shitty booking.

Turn Cena heel when he ties or beats Ric Flairs record. and maybe throw in a curveball when Cena does in fact surpass Flairs record, have Ric actually be involved in the finish and help cena win, thus turning Cena heel and have Flair manage him

[@CMorse-xn3fs]

I didn't know how much I wanted this until now.

Not using the Bullet Club in WWE, even when you have 4 members in the roster. The merchandise they could have sale...

[@TheTLProductions12]

Dude there are a ton of legal reasons they couldn't actually use the bullet club. If they could they would have rather than just calling them the club.

[@TVindustries5000]

"king ross broke all those scepters, never drew a dime"

[@theohanna3561]

Shots fired at King Ross 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Jackx88]

expected XFL number one seeing as that actually lost millions as opposed to a speculative "what could have been" number one which is unquantifiable

[@SolidSonicTH]

Turning Cena heel before WrestleMania 29 was still way too late (since the premise of Rock vs. Cena is just "BIG NAME VS. BIG NAME" without any subtext; Cena being heel wouldn't have added a lot to the atmosphere other than probably made the interest in the match even weaker since Cena's casual fans wouldn't want to see their hero be the bad guy in such a high-profile bout). You need to be closer to something like WrestleMania XXIV (because people started booing Cena hard by 2007 so he spent that whole year being a thorn in everyone's side). Use that year-long title reign from 2006 to 2007 (which only ended due to injury) like they did Punk's long reign. He gets tired of the fan abuse, tired of having to put out for an ungrateful audience, and goes into business for himself. It was the most logical time to jump on it. He had already been a mega-face since winning the title from JBL two years before, that's a good enough run to do something different with his character.

[@hisoka8695]

No.

[@usmanqureshi8941]

Have Rock beat Cena at the first match, and have Cena cheat to win the 2nd one.

[@S1monWL]

there's a phrase that summarizes this channel quite well: "easier said than done"

[@KarlSchoenefeld4]

Perfect list

[@Dumpstermuffin1]

having Sting job to HHH rather than having him fight taker That doesn't make the list??

[@footballstats9127]

[@AllHailKingKurt]

ROSSBOY8587 i think Adam blampie is becoming as bad as Vince McMahon, king Ross is whatcultures best personalities, and he totally buried king Ross at the start of this video, maybe Adam is getting a little jealous.

[@thekydragon]

Ross is the worst part of this channel. His gimmick is awful, he's not entertaining at all, and he knows very little about wrestling. I don't see why he's still around.

[@ethanhughes8602]

It's because he's a sick guy.

[@joemcnulty6814]

He's an insult the Jerry Lawler, that's what he is.

[@kenofjustice212]

Shane McMahon once wanted to buy UFC. Vince said it would never make actual money like WWE. Oh, how wrong Vince McMahon was!

[@TheSaneHatter]

Years ago, when booking Hogan against Triple HHH, McMahon said that, "I know what they want, better than they do." He was supposed to be speaking in character, but this really does seem to be his attitude towards that fans, and I think THAT explains a lot of his bad decisions, especially undercutting popular performers and promoting weak or unpopular ones. He simply wants to silence the fans' notion that they know what they want, even if it's obvious that they do.

[@TiagoJRToledo]

I'm late. Quick, think of a joke...WhatCulture Extra

[@Gugino0210]

If you think about it the cena heel turn till could happen if they did it right he can turn heel at no mercy if they give him the title ties the record of 16x champion and then he turns on the fans, I know aj styles is an amazing heal but turn him face they could actually have a good story line going for them cena being a cocky bastard because he thinks he's the best champion the company's ever had and everyone going after him it could go to wrestlemaina I think it would be a great story line if they did it right.

[@QTCutes]

My whole issue is who the Hell wants to TIE someone. Wouldnt John Cena want to BEAT the record. Kinda dumb. Or IDK try to challenge for the IC Title since it is the one title that has alluded Cena's career. I mean Dean Ambrose alone has made it as a Grand Slam Champion. He did it before Reigns and Rollins. That is I think a greater accomplishment then tying 16 title reigns reminding people how many times you were actually a LOSER.

[@gabechapman7840]

Dean is not a grandslam or triple crown champion, as he still needs a tag title. Same with the other shield members, as both Rollins and Reigns need to win a secondary title (the IC title) :)

[@kingbolker7411]

+Gabe Chapman All 3 former Shield members are triple crown champs !

[@gabechapman7840]

Kingbolker nope, US belt is a tertiary title, not secondary, thus Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are not grandslam and Triple Crown Champs yet. Like I said, all Dean Ambrose need to do is o be a tag champ. (Shouldve use the freebird rule during the shield xD)

[@QTCutes]

Didnt Shield hold the Tag team Titles as a FREE BIRDS RULE??

[@SINGHDASLAYA]

I agree with the invasion angle but not with adding Bichoff to it because he was the reason why WCW fell off and died as well as essentially killing TNA after 2 years or running the place!

[@tamsuskaralius835]

Uh. Hogan and Vince Russo killed off both of them.

[@usmanqureshi8941]

Bischoff wasn't the only reason it failed. TNT Time Warner merger also killed it. Thunder hurt them as well. If anyone is interested, the Legends With JBL with Bischoff is worth a watch
