2004's WEIRDEST WWE PPV - The Great American Bash

[@qingsu2115]

You are killing it with this series, Jack and Luke. You two have a great dynamic.

[@MrStaley]

He'd kill it if he dropped the corny jokes and kept it straight forward till he develops a natural sense of humor

Jack and Luke doing another amazing job on this series! I would definitely love to see December to Dismember 2006 for a Christmas episode of this series. Well done guys!!

[@chez4prez825]

Hey that's not a bad idea at all. I wanna see that

[@RFReviews]

That’s one of my favorite ppvs

[@THEiNC.]

You will be happy to hear they did, although they dubbed it as one of the worst PPVs ever and pretty much dragged it through the dirt the whole time, kind of a shame that especially the extreme Elimination Chamber got the most hate while (especially as a kid) I just loved the idea of having weapons in the chamber, even though the amount was limited and I desperately hoped you could play this special stipulation in one of the SvR games.

[@nfullenwider]

Regarding the "hit me on my two-way" line: Around 2004-2005, Nextel communications started offering a phone and plan with a separate walkie-talkie channel that didn't use minutes. It was briefly a thing and is mentioned in a few pop songs from the time.

[@richardtherichard26]

And if I’m not mistaken that feature was only available to others on your plan. For example, kids could only contact mom and dad and siblings w the walkie talkie feature… unless of course my parents lied to me, which is VERY possible bc I was only 10 and my Nextel was STRICTLY for “after school activities and absolute emergencies” 😂😂

[@nfullenwider]

@@richardtherichard26 Lol that sounds like something parents would say, but it was actually true.

[@twotatanka5396]

Chirp? I member something like that

[@zakkmylde1712]

​​@@nfullenwider you were able to chirp anyone with a Nextele phone not just people on your plan. My entire friend group had prepaid Nextele phones so we could chirp without wasting minutes.

[@xxNadz138]

Man my mom and dad had nextel phones.. they were so badass for the time

[@AJ-es4hu]

I can remember being so heartbroken as a kid when Eddie lost the title. He was and still is my favourite wrestler of all time

[@GlenNewsome]

Viva la raza!

[@TheeSocialPariah]

Only because you lie, cheat, and steal.

[@jb888888888]

When Eddie jumped to WWF I tried to find one of those "Eddy Guerrero is my favorite wrestler" shirts from WCW but they didn't market them, it was only for use by Chavo.

[@yeahyeah8439]

Just always remember Eddie decided to give up the belt at the time so he'll always have done his absolute best as WWE Champion

[@cristianaragon292]

I was so mad that day lol I ordered the bash on ppv 🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤣

[@cjq23]

A 43 minute video from Cultaholic? You love to see it! This is an amazing series, I’d like to see more of it!

[@Rohback]

I love Jack's performance here, he's so genuinely funny and it always excites me to see a new video with Jack in it.

[@kaylamoonshoes]

I love this... it feels like your buddy telling you an insane story with sound effects...

[@scottmccurdy6493]

I watched wrestling on occasion when I was younger in the 90s, but it was 2004 when I became a regular viewer of WWE. The year that had Paul Bearer getting murdered on live TV, Kane "winning" Lita in a match, Lita having a miscarriage, Snitsky punting a baby doll, and Eugene. How I continued watching will forever be a mystery.

[@Pocketrocket-pj1us]

Ruthless aggression needs more Love!

[@TheLarryburns84]

thanks Jack and all the folks at Cultaholic- was about to creep into a *real* depressed time and this will surely help. perfect timing so to speak! this show was effing weird indeed, and the lineup... oh boy. this is gonna be a doozy

I actually was at this PPV live! I live in Virginia Beach, not to far at all from Norfolk Va. That angle with Paul Bearer was…..something else. The crowd just sat there in stunned silence like “did this actually just happen?”

[@reesebecker4838]

I was there too!

[@ssheikh3598]

How did they pullout that stunt ?

[@bobmyers7030]

@@ssheikh3598 They pre-recorded the part where they filled it, and had an escape hatch... the live feed cut to the prerecorded bit. I thought I heard everyone in attendance knew?

[@JRJigsawyer]

This is such a good series. The editing plus Jack's humor is A+++

Jack’s American accent is amazing 😭😆 Love these videos, you guys are the best!

[@PJ_TheAverageGamer]

My god this video was good. Jack has some great comedic timing. I'm pretty sure Cena being attacked in the club was to cover for him filming The Marine. Back when Kayfabe was a thing.

[@chrismcclure4264]

Never stop. These are one of the few KZbin series, I stop what I'm doing when a new one is uploaded and watch right away.

[@bally40001]

I don't have any ideas just yet but keep this going young Jack as these are some of my favourite videos right now.

[@kentbeach7053]

Love these videos. Hope you keep them going Mr. The Jobber.

[@Nobody-we7kl]

Another great one for the books y’all killed it 💪🏽 much love from Cali cultaholics ✨

[@Triciachan]

The Undertaker explained why he buried Paul Bearer on the next Smackdown. He said that the kidnapping made him realize that Paul was his one weakness, and as much as it hurt him to do so, he realized that he needed to get rid of him.

[@ajmorley1519]

I'm so happy this is back! Great work by all involved! Can't wait for the next one!

[@glenndallas7171]

Another banger of an episode, great job Jack and Luke (and Tom)!

[@Tapout3321]

It’s called the “7 cites” because Norfolk is in Hampton Roads which is made of the following 7 cites Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Hampton, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, and Newport News. All 7 cites are placed right next to each other.

[@mondowrongo9510]

I love these videos, I was t even watching it in 2004 (I fazed out during the invasion and slowly drifted back in over the last 5 years) but was still entertained. Great work as always guys. Especially the city facts!

[@markwillibey6022]

the angle with Paul Bearer being buried by Taker was to get Bearer off TV for gallbladder surgery and the were going to bring him back sooner until they scripted Undertaker claiming he didn't need Paul Bearer to be a pawn of his weakness. The return of Bearer in 2010 was basically to have Undertaker to regain his "powers" after Kane took them.

[@dinobradford2566]

This is one of my favourite series of the channel. Thank you Jack and all involved

For years I always wondered how they buried Paul Bearer in cement without killing him.

[@JaimeD.]

Good question.

[@ajassassin7912]

Maybe they have him surrounded by plexiglass that's inside the box, where after Undertaker fills it with cement, it makes it look like he's buried alive, but he's actually not? I dunno, I'm just as puzzled lol

[@JaimeD.]

@@ajassassin7912 It does make sense. Still, the conclusion of the storyline was weird and Taker ended up "killing" his own father figure.

[@ajassassin7912]

@@JaimeD. It really was

[@for111]

From memory, I believe they pre-recorded the cement pouring bit and cut to that, from the live feed, at the appropriate time. Must have looked like shit for the live crowd.

[@kendonley2635]

These are some of the best wrestling recap videos! Congrats!

[@diabeticman2194]

Jack’s presenting combined with Luke’s editing makes this peak Cultaholic! Would love to see the first SmackDown of the lockdown era in this series, need a recap of Triple H’s shenanigans on the show

[@joywilson4668]

Excellent video Jack. I'm really enjoying this series.

[@aaronhurst4379]

Of all things I still remember Kurt Angle announcing that John Cena would defend the US title in that fatal 4 way, followed by Michael Cole saying "How is that fair?"

[@Bramtic]

I was not only at this show, but was close enough that I got one of the special commemorative chairs (which I still have)! I remember going in and trying to convinced myself it would be fun and might surprise us. I was mistaken.

[@doloslim7572]

This is my first wrestling event I attended. I was 13 years old at the time, my older sister taking me because I was moving with my father soon afterwards. Cena was super over doing random battles in the parking lot lol. My mother had also taken us to see Eddie Guerrero the day before the event, unfortunately we weren't able to interact with him because the line was way too long and they had shut down the meet and greet before we could meet him. I just remember being in awe of how big he was in person, he had a very wide frame for his stature.

[@RandomMetalChick000]

My mom used to work at an electronic store inside of O'hare airport. She called me one day because a bunch of wrestlers had come into her store to buy some things. She met Eddie and said he's deceptively built. He wasn't much taller than her, but she did comment on how wide his shoulders and back were. She said he was really soft spoken and talked with her about Creed, that was one of his favorite bands. It's crazy cause only a few months later he passed away.

[@doloslim7572]

@@RandomMetalChick000 Yeah I never heard anything bad from most people that met him. He always put his best foot forward when interacting with fans and people in general. A real good man

[@custommademusicmag]

Tori Wilson let me in the back door of the arena while she was walking Rene's dog so I got in free. This was literally one of the worst wrestling shows I've ever seen. The Paul Bearer concrete part was one of the most ridiculous things of all time. I was on the ring crew for the WCW Starcade 91 Battlebowl PPV and that was pretty bad but this was worse.

[@cenasux]

What's weird, too, is that killing Paul Baarer was NOT a heel turn.

[@backfandangoX]

LOL Jack I was working at the mall across the street from Scope at the time. I really wanted to go but I couldn't get off. I actually met Torrie Wilson when she came into my work place! Anyway, we pronounce Norfolk as the Brits do I think, we pronounce it Nor-Fuk or sometimes Nah-Fuk depending if you're more southern or not. And the Seven Cities is a chain of cities here that have sort of a affinity for each other. Norfolk, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Williamsburg, Chesapeake, Newport News, and Virginia Beach.
