One of the best, if not THE BEST, series on KZbin. Period. ❤️ Thank you to all for all you do! Merry Christmas!

[@ChaoticMeatballTV]

Funny that this gets released right after I finish binging the other Timeline videos. Love the format and would love to see other creators take it for stuff like video games, movie releases, anime, manga, just other general nerd culture stuff.

[@STONESGAM]

I really looked at that Royal Rumble in early 1992 as the grand finale of the WWF as I knew it and what I grew up on from the mid 80s. It had so many stars and such an epic finish. By the end of that year half of the stars that were in the Rumble had jumped ship. The whole 80s vibe was fizzling out and tastes were changing in movies and music by then as well. 1990-1991 still had that 80s vibe for the most part.

[@gtrpromotions6821]

I would request 1997. So many pivotal moments happening with the big 3 and over seas. I feel that 1997 can't be denied anymore

[@timburr4453]

Yea 1997 was massive. WWF finally came out of the doledrums, ECW was really on fire in terms of insane fun violence...and WCW with the nWo was on top and gobbling up talent left and right. It was a crazy chaotic year

[@brickcitybeatdown]

​@@timburr4453losers love wrasslin'

[@fumpr84]

53:19 The reaction one has when you hear a guy say "I'm going to get myself murdered, thoughts?". Of all the people to shoot on, you choose Haku?!😱

[@KMmouse20]

Maybe he didn't know the legend of Haku yet,but bah gawd he learned that day

[@mrg8581]

Exactly

[@UKProgRock]

Around this time 10 year old me was a huge WWE fan and not long after I discovered WCW. Brings back good memories, and Vader Vs Van Hammer 😂

[@JWHvidoes]

Damn I LOVE these videos!!! Cultaholic is killing it with amazing, form videos and docs. Best KZbin channel for This kind of content.

[@jdixon390]

Didn't something happen to Kevin Nash this year??

[@NirumaLamza]

afraid so

[@edgarr.rwilde3876]

This is the type of content I'm subscribed for. Keep it up.

[@IWANTTOEATURFACE]

the year kevin nash's septic tank had a violent leak

[@youridjorkaeff1640]

Another troll from 4chan cesspit. They made post about this vid on 4chan. So all the losers who post gay fanfiction will be making comments.

[@guywilliams6569]

Its crazy to think how many AMAZING matches/title changes happened on HOUSE SHOWS that basically NO ONE saw!!! That would NEVER happen today!!!

[@freakfoxvevo7915]

​@@chrischar9428 No, it's good. If you were excited for say, a US champion to wrestle on TV or PPV, you wouldn't be happy if said champion changed without you knowing

[@davidfranciose]

"Shoot on Haku" might be the three scariest words in the English language. What was he thinking?

[@mrg8581]

Might be. It is the three scariest words.

[@biggjoshhardcore]

1992 holds a special place in my heart because it’s the year that i became a fan 😊 I was able to catch up on a lot of the stuff from the 80s by renting a lot of tapes at my local video store

[@rommyremus9650]

Being a child and renting a wwf pov was such a huge part of my childhood w my brother. We d do the entrances, do promos as whoever was fighting in the match. Good times!! Since we didn't rent them in any chronological order, they didn't make sense all the time, but they were still great!!!

[@Drpavel564]

Reminds me of that tragedy

[@SpencerMiller574]

My first love of wrestling was Savage vs Flair, the true main event of Wrestlemania VIII

[@blind51de]

Wolfbros, we can't let them expose what happened to Big Sexy...

[@RyanRumbles434]

I'm loving this. You all do such a great job at compiling and narration. 😁

53:00 EVERYBODY HERE COMES TOO COLD SCORPIO

[@VIGLounge]

1992 was a great year to cover! Please do 1991. This is the year I became a fan of professional wrestling, and would love to learn about what happened overseas in wrestling during that time especially.

[@mrg8581]

I also want to see 1991 covered.

[@ScotNation1987]

I like the timelines by cultaholic a lot but there’s a guy that just recently did 91 and a few others the channel is called wrestle pod check it out if you haven’t

[@peterbendoris7327]

This was the year that the younger talent really got to show what they could do with Hogan out of the way. Bret showed he was one the guys to drive the company towards what would become known as the new generation with Shawn, The Undertaker, Razor Ramon and others.

[@marklefkowitz4385]

Steroid trial forced a switch from the monsters to the athletic wrestlers.

[@ChocolateMilk1978]

The New Generation was such a low point.

[@Mazz3D]

This is my favourite series! Thank you! Happy Christmas!

[@jcdlRayas]

Sad that Cultaholic didn't mention what happened to Kevin Nash during that sweltering summer of that year.

[@innocentbystander6674]

4 chan troll alert. This guy posts gay fanfiction about Nash on 4chan. Yes a grown man does this. He writes gay erotica about Nash...on 4chan.

@@youridjorkaeff1640 I understand that you're a big fan of Kevin Nash, Mr. Wolfie but this actually happened.

[@ConnieLynchitzWhoElse]

What happened to Kevin Nash in the summer of 92?

[@youridjorkaeff1640]

@@ConnieLynchitzWhoElse Nothing. 4chan trolls write gay fanfic about him. It's their life.

[@JhonCena6969]

Can't believe it happened to Kevin R. Nash. What a shame. He couldn't overpower them, but I guess it's easier to just take it and embrace it. Sad.

[@fiercecamaross]

I woke up thinking " one more day!!!!!" Then I see this!!! Thank you for all of your hard work! We all appreciate you so much!!!

[@edwardarcherwrestling6295]

More of these long form videos and less desperate top 10 lists please. This is your bread and butter

[@At0micPunk90]

I don't know which I'm more shocked by: Someone deciding to shoot on Haku, or learning that Rey Mysterio was once 17 years old.

[@michaelpaiva9924]

Golden Ages 1-3 were as promoted, Gold...now i find u have Timeline Vids! Of the greatest era's no doubt 80'- early 2000's! , thats Entertainment my man, Great Job 🫡👍👍👍

[@alessandrotaccari358]

For me, my particular favorite year in wrestling

[@CTWraith]

I was in the crowd in Saskatoon for the Bret Hart title win. That was a wild event to see.

[@MrMonstaNoodle]

"He tries to shoot on Haku" well, there's one I've never heard before

[@aroneldridge6249]

At 54:13 you said road warrior hawk and then flash a picture of Animal. Also when referring to the match of Canek and Haku, they're not called Trios matches in CMLL. They're called "Relevos Australianos"

[@makoncrayley]

Boy they REALLY didn't wanna do a 2003 timeline this year, eh?

[@Jake_Owens]

Give it time. There’s still 8 days left. A lot can still happen lol

[@vampirascoffin870]

2003 smackdown was better than raw , HHH reign of terror , Austin vs rock 3 and Goldberg came and got buried END OF STORY KID

[@jameslookstwice]

​@@vampirascoffin870Miss Elizabeth died in 03,That was tough.

[@freakfoxvevo7915]

​@@Jake_Owenswelp, they decided to do ECW history instead of a 2003 timeline.

[@jeyDsixx18]

U really want a timeline with Lesnar trying to cripple himself with a move he had never done before and hogans run as Mr.America on it? Lest we also forget the amount of screen time Stephanie used to get around then, I think skipping 2003 is a good call on cultaholics part…😂

[@ZLProductionsOfficial]

2019 and 2020 Timeline!

[@KWABWrestlingEntertainment]

Don't google what happened to Kevin Nash that year, brother

[@youridjorkaeff1640]

4 chan troll alert. This is one the main people who spend his life on 4chan posting gay fanfiction about Nash. just Ignore this no life loser ladies and gents.

A bad year to be Kevin Nash for sure

[@youridjorkaeff1640]

[@jefreybarnes5457]

Pretty great year for Stan Hanson though!

[@taylorcannon7272]

Should really do one for 96

[@mrg8581]

Awesome video. But photo of Rob Bartlett, Vince McMahon and Randy Savage was from 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw. 0:11

[@wookiedog]

These are great. Thank you.

WWF World Champion Ric Flair.

[@timburr4453]

1992 was my all time favorite post 80s wrestling years

[@danieldorsey6768]

41:24 is the beginning of a long downfall that culminates in Hawk and Animal beating the shit out of each other in the February 23, 1998 episode of Monday Night Raw 😃

[@Nyghtryder229AFN]

I remember the 1992 Great American Bash. I was there as a 8 year old boy attending my 1st wrestling event. Good times.

[@newageoutlaw]

I still can't believe that coward Janetty, trying to jump out of the Barber Shop window.

[@PatI-zg9gm]

That was one of Heenan’s best lines…

Birth year, let's go!!! Going home to watch this right now.

[@tequilapapii5936]

*I love these. I’d love a 2003 or 1998. Great work* 👏🏽

[@guywilliams6569]

Backlundat 42 is like today at 62!

[@maelife6516]

1993 was an interesting year, as it was a year of transition. And I would say 2001 was another year that radically changed the business.

[@MissAlmostFine]

92' was such a transition year for wrestling.

[@attiepollard7847]

I think around about a 1992 this is where the American audience was hearing whisperers about what was going on in Japan and started to open our interests.

[@alanjanes923]

This is the year i became a wrestling fan, the first match i saw was Flair vs Savage from WM 8 thanks to my grandparents who randomly had the show recorded for them. From then on i could only watch WCW Worldwide on ITV on saturday afternoons as we didn't have Sky then.

[@Evilkingus]

"The other arrival is Road Warrior Hawk" (showing a picture of Road Warrior Animal). Sigh

[@seanhaxer5636]

The luchador (who's name I can pronounce but not certain how to spell) trying to shoot on Haku/Meng is a horrifying thought, least the latter had some mercy that night.

[@sebom141]

Thanks a lot for doing I like the concept great idea please keep going!

[@Insomniaaron]

1993 would be nice. What happened in wrestling the year I was born.

[@taylorcannon7272]

I'd like to see one for 97,98 and 99 honestly.

[@cajroverby6590]

I loved WWE in 92.

[@jdr119]

A nice touch into the past! I’m hoping for either 2011 that being the year I got into wrestling or 2006

[@2128jrandall]

I liked this video and the Bret/Davey Boy match was great for me as a kid.

[@d.trill1]

i attended the 1992 Great American Bash in Albany GA, my very first wrestling event.

[@Bossman22211]

1997 would a great year to review. Wcw was at its peak. Wwf was making changes for the better. ECW became legends

[@jp3813]

Why are these years so random? Just do them in order starting from say 1980 just before the Golden Era.

[@7654x]

Excellent content recently, tips down memory lane.

[@eddieZDI]

Would love to see some of these for years that we don't know much about like the 20s or 50s

[@attiepollard7847]

Nope nope. Way too much out of timeline. For good handful of us majority of wrestling that matters is maybe the mid-80s all the way to 2001

[@shawnoandrew]

It's hard for me to pick a specific year to say was my favorite year.

54:08 love the series but that’s Road warrior animal while you’re talking about hawk.
