Not naming ortan in the beginning when the ruthless aggression class was announced is criminal

[@jerseygetsherwetter345]

orton *** and what’s understood aint gotta be explained

[@DesiNicole-k3d]

@@jerseygetsherwetter345 nahh it was a whole crime to ORTON

[@alexandertobing2473]

The HBK montreal promo is in my opinion the greatest god damn heel promo ever. You could feel the heat from that shit through the tv. Go watch it now its gold.

[@Evs78101]

The Edge/Ric Flair Road Rage skit was epic. I remember it to this day 😂

[@KamoMustafaWWE]

I love the Batista/Simon Dean segment/match. I've watched it a bunch of times.

[@DamariJackson24]

FACTS.

[@arleneconverse1238]

Ruthless Agression was from May 5th 2002 (when they became WWE) to late August 2008 (When they turned to TV-PG)

[@grantsnell8824]

One if those London/Akio velocity matches was legitimately nominated for match of the year

[@joeloresky459]

Wasn't that the one when they were in Japan? That was a great match.

[@andycain4351]

I loved the JBL tranquiliser Godzilla Japan promo. I found it hilarious and I think it really showed another side to JBL as an actor

[@Keerat-Batter-every-Day]

Slapping kurt was nuts .

[@jdixon390]

WrestleMania 24 is my all time favorite WWE PPV, it might have something to do with the aesthetic and memories but it really is a spotless show.

[@Alsebra]

#1 - How can you forget Rey wearing that massive wig...*over* his mask? It was so gloriously goofy, it can't be forgotten.

[@omegaman6494]

the reason why the Rumble 2005 promo video is no longer talked about is pretty obvious

[@httr94]

That run of WrestleManias from 17-24 was the cream of the crop

[@pimpinpres]

I vividly remember getting invested in Velocity matches. Back then until early 2005, it doesn't feel like a C-show at all. Paul London was definitely leading the pack in the green brand.

[@cashilla]

Gene Snistky kicking Lita's baby(doll) trough the crowd

[@lindseykipp191]

Don’t forget that Simon Dean was a part of Bobby Lashelys introduction

[@MrMattohyes]

Sickest match is brock lesser vs zack gowan the 1 legged wrestler where brock breaks his leg on the corner post

[@zanethind]

Actually funny thing is me and a bunch of wrestling fans talk and have talked about Cena vs The Great Khali and how Cena got two great matches out of the guy. I think people do remember those matches but we just don't want to talk about the Great Khali matches. Also everyone remembers the HBK heel Montréal promo in the 2000s And Wrestlemania 24 was awesome and underrated. More people should love it and watch it

[@henrikschmidt3964]

I doubt I will ever be Shawn Michaels' greatest fan, but I will never deny that he was sensational as an in-ring performer. And I can only rejoice that he got one over on Hogan.

[@Alsebra]

"'Stone Cold' refs 'The Animal' vs. 'The Deadman'" My first thought was: "I didn't know 'Taker took on George Steele...and I didn't know *Austin* reffed it."

[@dylanogg347]

Paul London was underrated, underused and undervalued.

[@jayduffy5532]

The mania in florida was iconic especially for the flair micheals hurrah the im sorry i love you before the super kick was heartbreaking and to see the pre wwe charlote in tears was really emotional

[@c0mpr3nd3]

Something you missed about the Edge skit was the person who was in the other car. None other then the future Robert Stone. Also that Rumble ad has another story behind it as it was done on a soundstage next to where TNA taped. That led to an incident which TNA put out on PPV that really just made them look small time.

[@waitselljones8068]

Does WhatCulture not realize that people are CONSTANTLY talking about that HBK Montreal promo, including WhatCulture themselves in many of their lists?

[@user-on5fq4km9w]

the Rock hitting handcuffed Mick Foley with a chair 11 times instead of scripted 5... it was brutal, Foley's wife and two young children were ringside crying

[@MillerTGOE]

Callin Jerry lawyer a horny hero is hilarious

[@tinotica]

In response to 2005 having the best 5 ppv streak ever, I’d argue that the first 5 ppvs of 2008 could hang up there

[@judypethegan]

Shawn Michaels was injured for real he tore his meniscus going into the match

[@2pacwestside474]

Yeah, that's what I remembered

[@DPopenhagen12]

Yeah of all the times Shawn did make wrestling with a kayfabe injury look like a shoot... Taboo Tuesday was definitely a shoot.

[@Jake_Owens]

Edge had way too much fun doing that Ric Flair impersonation 😂

[@USCTrojan12]

My suggestion that didn’t make the cut, maybe because it involves Chris Benoit, but he and Booker’s US Title Best of Series that concludes with Benoit v Orton on Smackdown in a 30+ minute epic. This was one of my favorite vids you guys have produced in a looooong time. Such a fun trip down nostalgia lane and I’m hoping the comments will be filled with suggestions that weren’t listed.

[@Naruto0s44]

The sickest match I've seen on television Vince vs Stephanie McMahon that was too much for me tbh

[@AnnieBananie316]

No one ever talks about Matt Hardy vs Evander Holyfield boxing match on Smackdown

[@doncatterson764]

Sickest match I've seen taker Vs Vince at survivor series 2003 so much blood

[@melbell700]

I’d like to see a ranking for comedic wrestlers or maybe comedic moments from you guys. Idk if comments are read but it’s worth a try.

[@garymaidman625]

The Muhammad Hassan character was not awful at all. It was unfortunate with the timing, but it was an excellent character. It's clear how much he despises WWE, even his compliments are loaded.

[@frankrappa4765]

I can never watch Rey Mysterio vs Seth Rollins in the Eye For An Eye match again.

[@gag141]

#1 is ignored because it isn't good. WrestleMania goes Hollywood commercials were far superior

[@michaelendy3479]

That blood bath between Eddie and JBL 🤔🤔

[@TheMarshallLaw]

Wrestlemania 24 is #3 behind 19 and 17 for me. Classic for sure

[@Drowmerc]

I loved Velocity back in the day.

[@dylanogg347]

"Kurt slaps the undisputed piss out of him!"

[@Lamb666]

Batista stealing Eddie’s food and coming back for the tortillas.

[@Evs78101]

I was convinced Beth Phoenix was a man back in the day 😂 I was wrong…. And now there’s Nyla Rose 👀

[@WWChampion16]

I was disappointed when Teddy returned from has kayfabe heart attack that Krystal was gone.

[@unholyperiodza5442]

You forgot Mark Henry's Black Jungle gimmick where he dominated a lot of opponents building up the return of the Undertaker at Unforgiven 2007.

[@datboi9539]

Tbh they should've had Mark Henry as WHC in 2007 rather than The Great Khali. It would've worked well with that gimmick and in storyline since it was Henry who put The Undertaker out of action after that cage match. Plus, It would've also reignited his feud with Batista from 06 that they technically never finished.

[@zeeshaankhan3871]

Ruthless aggression ended when Chris Benoit did something horrible

[@JohnMiller-dg4xy]

“Protein shower”? Is no one going to say “phrasing”?!!!

[@rushguy1]

Sickest match? Rock vs Mankind I Quit Match at Royal Rumble 1999. Knowing what we know now about the brain and head injuries, that match is almost unwatchable.

[@zanethind]

What do you mean by sick match though? Like cool or disgusting? Because if it's cool I'd go with with Rey Mysterio vs Eddie Guerrero at Wrestlemania and if it's disgusting or horrifying I'd go with Eddie Guerrero vs JBL

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

When Billy Kidman turned heel in 2004 🔥🔥🔥

[@zanethind]

To me Wrestlemania 39 and 40/XL are better than X7 or even have rivaled it fair

[@craigcarlock8910]

Anything Kurt angle did during this era in wwe should always be looked back on and appreciated Kurt angle proves he loved his fans with the effort he gave especially when he shaved big shows head

[@divamh10]

I think when Stevie Richards n Victoria started working Sunday nite heat(Stevie nite heat) it gave the show some directions n storyline. I wish they did the same with velocity n maybe Jamie Noble n nidia

[@Brown87]

Such a shame that Benoit was murdered 💔

[@Kobe24brady12]

This channel hates Triple H my goodness.

[@ericluis2710]

In terms of sick, I'm going to go for just disgusted by the overall presentation of it and the people involved Nick Gage versus Chris Jericho. That was just embarrassing and really terrible to watch

[@brandinstephens9933]

Melina marry Brandin Stephens

[@cedricbrookins4851]

List should have been done by someone less bias against wwe.

[@MrSHADOWANGEL999]

Wild

[@Filthyism]

Oh unfortunately I do remember the Cena khali era. It was bad, very bad

[@elgringolocoMaldonado]

Sorry but WWE from 04 to 06 was not terrible at all. Theres been many worse years than that 3 year stretch. Terrible take

[@naturalgazdooley]

WM 24 is barely top 10.

[@mikeawesome9212]

Edge used to have nice hair but now as he has aged, it has become coarse and wiry like pubic hairs.

[@jeffreymark475]

Well if no one talks about them they clrely weren't incredible. You guys are really grasping at straws with these lists now. Just stick to news from now on because this is pathetic

[@jamesmcgeachy5433]

🎉

[@CarlosCruz-ox9wc]

Was excited for this video until i heard "the great michael sidgwick" Hes the absolute worst

[@KyReese10]

woah I’m early

[@nathanielmccarthy3021]

HHH didn't in any way make Steiner look crap 😂😂😂 Steiner made Steiner look crap. He was built crap and it made his movement look robotic and we're not even going into him being a montage of botches on his own. He should've stayed away from WWE because he came back and made everyone he worked with look horrible.

[@marvelsProtege]

18:15 this is racism not funny times

[@elgringolocoMaldonado]

Touch grass

[@marvelsProtege]

@@elgringolocoMaldonado did you feel offended, or was I somehow talking about you or to you?
