Cultaholic Wrestling Podcast 216: What Is The Best Special Entrance In Wrestling History?

[@diabeticman2194]

I'm sad Ross's Hall of Fame bit has ended, but it was a good run. I'm shocked and surprised Alverez's review of Shrek won, but it was a worthy winner

[@kingshad0w]

Yes it was just a joke, light fun.

[@_SSGB_]

He just nominated a disabled dog for the Hall of Fame, he's totally still trying hard to win lol hope he does cuz that dog is class

[@thebbproject.8102]

I remember when they said last year the podcasts will be shorter this year. That went well lmao (Not complaining though)

[@yoshiwot]

My only guess is that they meant the financial year because geez

[@beesly01]

Maybe they were hoping they'd be shorter...

[@cyrilfoday]

Over 3 and a half hours… I think we’ve finally passed the threshold this week

[@goonerjhh]

As someone surrounded by non wrestling fan friends , I can assure you most of them have more likely heard of the undertaker than have heard of Stone Cold Stone Cold is a bigger name wrestling wise but mainstream definitely taker Also id say the most popular wrestling figure has to be Rock , more so than Hogan definitely today.

[@dscul97]

Just want to say a big thanks to you 3 and the rest of the Cultaholic team for keeping me entertained this past week as I've been living with covid. Keep up the great work!

[@AceTrainerLiam]

Jack is 100% correct. Chandler is objectively the best Friend.

[@joeywrestling9536]

Omg look at Jack and Richard downing it with no expression! 🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@andrewcollins7255]

Here for the hall of fame results!

[@patrickmorales9084]

To answer the question, Sandman at ECW ONS 2005. If that's not considered a special entrance then I'd say Rusev in the tank at Mania

[@spluddrott]

They where both in my top 3 The other being new day with the booty-o's cereal box

[@Nbflowers1989]

We are approaching 4 hours!!! Love it.

[@big_tea1983]

Ross: Sorry for the pandering Also Ross: My HOF nominee this week is the handicapped dog. I'm still gonna vote for Dexter but still...

[@RipperJack77]

Did anyone else feel the urge to go get a beer when Ross started pouring?

[@pigeonf.6298]

I was one of the ones who complained about HOF last week. Appreciate you Ross for listening to the feedback and for being very open and straightforward about it. Even if the majority had no problem about it you demonstrated that you care for all fans. Love u

[@wolframiumlavasioth]

WOW, new record for the longest podcast episode, brace yourselves for this one.

[@Julian-xj6mh]

Never let diddler die! Diddler for H.O.F.

[@Elpezidente]

I hope Ross wins the HOF this week as cute dog was nominated

[@oscarx-ray3545]

NEVER MAKE THE PODCASTS ANY SHORTER THAN THIS.

[@Jared46290]

I actually did the experiment with taker and austin as well.....and my co-workers said undertaker as well

[@MrAxel-ub5ud]

I am writing this before watching the hall of fame segment… I want Ross to win but at the same time I don’t

[@wilsonchadbenitez3021]

My favorite podcast. I'm listening on my work break. A lot of people listen at work, but I like to finish my work day and then go back to finish the podcast while relaxing on my free time

[@JazzyBongo]

big up Ross for owning it and moving on.

[@djmac13]

Marathon effort lads, big respect. Hope Tom and Andy get well soon. What a lovely dog in the hall of fame. 😊

[@bigstan5705]

Dick tubbs is even more beautiful than i had built him to be in my head. I didn’t even know that was possible

[@VeilInfinity]

I totally understand about the Hall of Fame pick and things not going the way you might have expected, Ross. Not everyone can easily tell where the boundaries lie with these things. I've always been socially awkward, and I've had to learn some very hard lessons about where the boundaries are and when you're crossing the line. It's even worse when you've truly done nothing wrong but people get upset anyway. It's not natural or obvious for everyone when you're crossing the line, nor is it natural or obvious for everyone to know when apologies are needed or not needed. You hit the right notes all the time and people adore you, Ross, so one mistake in a social area that can be gray for many, including myself, can most certainly be forgiven. Everyone loves you, Ross! ❤

[@dannym702]

this podcast makes my work day so much quicker 🔥👌 much love to the fellas !

[@boydofw]

Damn, I was hoping to see how ludicrous Ross’s picks would become lol

[@calebcaton773]

As

[@Elpezidente]

Wow, great length to this one lads

[@IowaContact]

Are we just done with phrasing and nobody told me??

[@patharrington592]

That's what she said.

[@wilsonchadbenitez3021]

Undertaker is more famous overall than Austin. Those who remember the attitude era zeitgeist might say Austin, but most people would recognize Undertaker more nowadays

[@TheGrimmCommoner]

Best: Entrances - Undertaker, Eddie Guerrero, Goldberg, Stone Cold Steve Austin (yes, him cursing as he walks down the ramp will always be iconic), and Melina (you know why). Music - Minoru Suzuki (KAZE NI NAREEEEEEEE!), CM Punk (name me one of his that isn't great), Sandman (because of course), Kurt Angle (sounds very patriotic and you can't listen to it without singing "You Suck!"), Dan Severn, Abyss, Sammy Zayn (the one that sounds like a Nintendo song and everyone sings, even though there's no lyrics) and Alex Riley (I'm not joking). Special entrances - Demon Balor, Stone Cold Steve Austin (when there's already another match taking place and he kicks the crap out of everyone), and Okada (all of them).

[@messybaby1147]

Dexter was said to not be confident in walking on three legs so he literally evolved to walk on two!!! Amazing story!!!

[@benbowen3656]

Ross personally I had no issue with your hall of fame picks, however I think it's great you listened to feedback and took it on board. Cultaholic was a bright spark for me during the dark days of covid and is still a highlight going in to the dark days we seem to have ahead, thank you. However we need to know... did Adam P become a mason? Or did he end up paying full price for flooring? Brett Screwed Brett. Ben from Melbourne

[@Nbflowers1989]

50:00 I'd love to see a shot-on-location football game with all the lads.

[@aron7766]

Onita Vs Chono has to be the best. Onita in a leather jacket, pelted with rubbish, sitting down and smoking a cigarette. Chono making his entrance in a massive fucking hummer, looking like Takeshi Kitano. Coolest shit ever.

[@spluddrott]

I'm gonna check that out

[@hahahadavidfisher]

I used to listen to many wrestling podcasts but since getting married and taking on more hours at work i dont watch much wrestling these days, i watch the rumble every year. I keep up with whats going on in the wrestling world listening to Jim Cornettes podcasts and this one i feel i get the opposite perspectives on much of whats going on in wrestling today and they all make me laugh alot. Love Maffew Ross and Jack the OGs of this podcast also love to Tom Adam Andrew Sam Richard and everyone else in the Cultaholic office who gets referenced in these podcasts. Im looking forward to the first 4 hour video

[@redmondsurvivor7222]

Got to say, I enjoy the irony of complaining about the length of the PPV when this podcast is almost as long as the PPV, haha. Not complaining though, the longer the better! (phrasing)

[@Whomidifier]

Absolutely dying at "woof woof (truck horn) (truck horn)

[@Kenpachi-Bob]

There was absolutely no need to apologize for that pick. Last week's HOF was the best segment ever and now it's been ruined by people who don't watch the segment.

[@grayhound3346]

nowhere near the big question yet but I really enjoyed cole's entrance at takeover where josiah williams did his UE rap

[@nathanrivers3707]

good lord this podcast length

[@Julian-xj6mh]

It's glorious, diddler

[@IowaContact]

A lengthy, girthy, veiny throbbing podcast

[@stuartcarden1371]

I think Taker would be better known, simply because of the length of his run. If you were a kid in a 90s all the way through to the 2020s you'll know undertaker. Whereas Austin's run was relatively short, even though he was massive in his time.

[@euangriffiths7466]

Good on Ross, a class apology

[@BoaRDDuDE630]

Bring more beers to the the podcast! Preferably not sours, however I haven't had this much fun listening to a podcast in a long minute, I had my boss wondering what I was laughing at and I put it on the speaker in the kitchen and he ended up laughing and enjoying the show too. Up the people's princess!

[@NickkChann]

Undertaker has been around for so long he became synonymous with wrestler for a time. Before I got into wrestling, a mate may have had wrestling on in the background and there would be Undertaker mentioned. Very little of Austin except for surprise appearances.

[@Nbflowers1989]

Good on you, Ross. You didn't offend me and I think the majority knew you were just having a laugh. But good on you for saying your piece on it. 🙏

[@danjackson1016]

That Shawn Michaels zipline entrance. Iconic moment.

[@edwinhai]

Random people will know Undertaker way more than they mention Austin

[@lukee.m.h1537]

Loved the HoF bit from Ross, shame it's over :)

[@jonatangeisser2526]

The review of NXT 2.0 is the best part in the Podcast

[@joetlrr]

it's Undertaker for sure

[@jordanwalker365]

Still love ya Ross, big respect for the apology

[@diabeticman2194]

Triple H's Wrestlemaina entrances are always golden, for me Wrestlemania 30, 31 and 34 are the best. Rollins' Mania 33 one I liked as well, Rusev in the Tank and Michael's Mania 12 zipline

[@cannedbanana2472]

I actually prefer the longer podcasts!

[@thebrotherhood227]

You say well done to Germany for taking Covid more seriously but I personally couldn’t be happier with the direction the UK is taking lmao

[@theperverseincentive]

Absolutely would say Undertaker would win that street poll thing. I'm about the age of the lads on the podcast, but usually when I bring up wrestling among non-wrestling fan friends (including younger kids I train in university debate) those that know anything about it will bring up the Rock or Cena or Undertaker. (And Batista because he has Filipino heritage and obvs he got big with Marvel.) I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about Austin amongst my non-wrestling fan friends.

[@zubrhero5270]

Q: What is the best special entrance in wrestling history? A: _That_ Kairi Sane/Kabuki Warriors pirate ship entrance at Tampa Bay we never got...

[@dominikdalek]

My wife and myself, we've got 6 cats, all of them with some defects: missing eye, completely blind, missing leg, that kind of thing. Amazing creatures, I'm telling you!

1:46:20 I read on Reddit (so grain of salt) that Hangman was booed because he was wearing Pride colours in Florida where there is some of sort of political movement called Don't Say Gay or something going on. So it was right-wingers booing him.

[@MelonCauli]

3:07:49 Jack apologising for not getting a shit joke is special

[@Wriqhton]

5:49 jack comes in to these shows hungover so I’m not shocked he no sold that sour drink 😂

Whenever the NXT plants don't cheer for someone, maybe it's because their cheers were... WATERED DOWN... 😎

[@Tchnfrq]

so im born in 96 and from germany where wrestling never was as mainstream as in the uk or the us and when ever wrestling comes up the wrestlers most people know are cena, undertaker, jeff hardy and rey mysterio. since guardians of the galaxy a few of my friend remembered batista

[@KinnereyB]

Roman Reigns, Goldberg, and Undertaker. No offense, but I didn’t need a 3+ hour podcast to decide that. Great channel though 💯

[@Nbflowers1989]

47:26 Lol Jack. Thanks for the clarification.

[@shanedurnin352]

The most physically impossible thing I've seen a wrestler do was Bandido's double moonsault fall away slam on Dragon Lee and Taiji Ishimori. As it was said on commentary, "That's not a real move".

[@mattnoble3444]

Can someone explain why Jericho would want squarehead on his team/why squarehead would agree to team with jericho?

[@lilpoetat]

Thanks 🙏

Me and maffew were at the same SmackDown event. Today I learned

[@JagerLange]

Ross: buys a sour beer Also ross: can’t believe it’s so sour ??????

[@ujai5271]

Jack, if you want to see Danhausen out of character: CVV did an hour long out-of-character interview with him. Good stuff.

[@SmedleysCinema]

Instant regret moment for me was when Cena beat Edge at Unforgiven 2006 in the TLC match

[@JD29..]

1:07:32 The PPV was only 12 minutes longer than this podcast lol

[@codyboyle8336]

The greatest podcast

[@KingRyeburn]

The Miz was the one talking about the pyro!

[@wheneverwetravel3908]

i think undertaker is more mainstream.

[@andrew199271]

AJ Styles is from Georgia, and they have an amazing college football team called Georgia Bulldogs

[@FlawlessP401]

Never apologize for other people taking offense. Ever.

[@MonroeRepublic]

I love sour Beer, we make it at our brewery in Wellington, NZ. "Salted Gose"

[@waitwhatOo]

Best special entrance is easily Bobby Roode up on the tower thing

[@JordanK14]

Now even though Ross' picks of world peace and the brave and valient people of Ukraine upset people I still don't get how they didnt get into the hall of fame

[@Galeus708]

Because people didn't appreciate such a serious issue being used as a joke for the hall of fame segment. Fair play on Ross recognising the line being crossed and apologised for it.

[@diabeticman2194]

I was shocked that the brave and valiant people of Ukraine didn't get in, thought they where a guarantee (even if I did want Alverez's Shrek review to win at the time)

[@cr5cc]

The gravy train turkey trot match... lol

[@needles-mk9sp]

The moment Ross nominated the people of Ukraine and seeing the others reactions to it was some of the hardest I've ever laughed at this podcast. Sucks that people feel he crossed the line and it's good he apologized, but you don't get moments like that without taking risks.

[@matthewfulton4863]

I would pay so much money for you guys to do a podcast absolutely pished. Would be some laugh 🍺

[@yzarian7658]

Cody Rhodes is Homelander but in his mind, he is convinced that he's Captain America...

[@AndreyChichagov]

Jack the reason why dark order would tag with Cole is because of BTE skits, Budge

[@youdontknowjack6682]

There’s a talking simpsons with danhausen about season 2s Three Men And A Comic Book. It was so good, it made me enjoy feeding the cats and doing the washing up

The rock went on into other genres, i think he would be the most recognized mentioned.

[@TheJaker27]

Love you lads, just would like to point out I side with Owen on the hate for Bryce, I’m sure he’s a very nice guy but he’s just way to much in the ring it distracts the piss out of me in a very negative way lmao
