MIRROR IMAGES | Wrestling's Opposite Gimmicks!

MIRROR IMAGES | Wrestling's Opposite Gimmicks!
There’s a saying that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. And the world of wrestling is pretty similar in that respect too as it happens. Why is this? Well, if you look hard enough, you’re probably going to find a mirror version of any of the major gimmicks out there somewhere. But what are the biggest examples of such a phenomenon? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to be looking at today. So, join us now as we take a deep dive into Mirror Images: Wrestling’s Opposite Gimmicks.

[@chrisakane9840]

Actually mordecai is sounding like Miro a religious zealot fighting for his God. It's just not a spooky gimmick. 😅

[@Ashley28822]

Wcw cruiserweight division

[@TheDrizzyRon]

Do will osprey story pls he is the goat

[@JesusSaves80]

Waylen Mercy is the best gimmick that was years too early

[@zanethind]

​@@chrisakane9840true

[@Plus27]

How could you guys miss a chance to include Jeff Hardy and CM Punk?? They were perfect inclusion to this list

[@officegossip]

thats fucked up lmao

[@terminator_405]

Should have had Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Both come from wrestling families, but Reigns was brought to the top and given all the chances due to it, while Rhodes was dragged to the bottom because of it and got stuck with stardust until leaving for the indies to reinvent himself.

[@ameliastencil6058]

Well said

[@FrankieW00FR]

For sure for sure

[@paulcowlishaw]

Cody Rhodes deserves so much better, and Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon treated him like shit

[@MenverMan]

Or Jeff Jarrett and Cody, mid carders who have had reigions of terror at the top

[@antjuansanchez7316]

No it's should be roman regins and John Cena because Roman reigns is a complete rip off of John Cena because keep getting way too much push

[@kadharefinley224]

16:15 “ Punk’s Current Home AEW “ This Age Horribly

[@jimbo_1312]

Yeah, the whole riddle orton segment aged like an egg salad sandwich on a hot day, too.

[@haleriggs4015]

yeah they were both fired before this released..........

[@malcolmcox18]

And maximum male models

[@jeremywilliams5141]

I would add Ric Flair with two opposites. The first one is Dusty Rhodes. While Flair lived a lavish, luxurious lifestyle, Rhodes was a blue-collar, hard-working, common man. The second is Ricky Steamboat. While Flair was a playboy surrounded by beautiful women, Steamboat was a family man with a wife and son. And you could say that CM Punk is the opposite of The Sandman. While CM Punk lives a straight-edge lifestyle in which he abstains from alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, Sandman's gimmick involves smoking cigarettes and drinking beer.

[@HioshimaFried]

Punk VS Sandman would be ... interesting, really. Imagine "prime" Sandman vs Straight Edge Society Punk.. would be fire

[@maykesantana9532]

@@HioshimaFried i guess they wrestled in early TNA

[@Getwright-]

Another one i felt kind of worked this way was JBl (big money, limousine riding suit wearing texan) and Eddie (lying, stealing, low rider, and tshirts Mexican)

[@Tajonxv]

I think this one needs a part 2!

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Riddle has also been released from WWE, meaning the Orton storyline will never end.

[@albertausprey]

Kane vs Blue Kane would be interesting

[@Gaming316-i7f]

No😂

[@mr.mikemikey]

What's up with your Title Cards? A lot of mistakes and spelling errors lately :(

[@alexmendez4606]

Great Video! Love the shout out to The Last Airbender and X-men.

[@hasanx8066]

Corny and Russo burying each will always be gold lol.

[@kanoaikawach]

Speaking of The Rock, Mick Foley, and Avatar the Last Airbender.... The Boulder is a character who is voiced by Mick Foley.

[@Chief_thunder_charging_bear]

When corny finds out you compared him to russo, he's gonna come for you 😂😂

[@adamhawkins3036]

I loved the mordecai character..even tho undertaker is the deadman and hails from darkness he brings light the wicked ways of the early church father mercenary who killed all with opposing ideas..which would have been the best physical representation of the yin-yang ☯️ the dark mingling with the light and the light mingling with the dark..i really really wished they would have worked with him more n tried to stick it out with him.. they might have had an ungorgettable match like Taker n Mankind or at least pretty damn close

[@natarajadithya9508]

Kane and abyss

[@albertausprey]

I thought in an interview Kevin Thorn said he was pulled from his match with Undertaker because of the bar fight he was involved in.

[@SRC267]

RVD v JCVD would be a good mirror match

[@thegreattreon0177]

I miss RKBro! Damn shame Matt Riddle got himself fired!

[@THECHRISAL3X]

Yo!!! I remember wanting Mordecai and Undertaker to be an amazing storyline. That could’ve been FIRE, but it never really went there.

[@Oj4life]

1:11 Nah Moredicai was a tall blue who worked at a park with a racoon who was he's best named rigby

[@TheJaguar1983]

To me, Cornette and Russo are both tools. Although, I've never seen hatred in someone's eyes like I see when Cornette talks about Russo; particularly in the Dark Side of the Ring episode about the Brawl for All.

[@williammitchell4417]

It's in Corny's will... If Russo dies first, Corny's gonna whizz on his grave.

[@artirony410]

8:00 "just a few weeks later" you forgot to mention that Bret also worked a bunch of matches during those weeks which for sure exacerbated his concussion symptoms. Was Goldberg sometimes reckless in the ring? Yeah. Should Bret have worked several matches after getting severely concussed? No.

[@drswag0076]

an honorable mention would be the patriotic all American, Hulk Hogan and the USSR communist sympathizer, Nikoli Volkoff. while Hogan supported the values of the American Dream, Volkoff was aligned to Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik ideology. one roots for D.C the other supports Moscow. a similar thing is said between Hulk Hogan and the Iron Shiek. while Hogan supports freedom, Iron Sheik is loyal to the Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic of Iran. i could go on but i think i said enough.

[@johnpirate3135]

i feel like glacier would have done much better if they actually used someone with a strong martial arts background. clearly 3 characters were based of the mortal combat series, but glacier ended up just looking slow and clumsy.

[@AJsBusVideos]

Punk and Cena still respect each other

[@stefansachs9911]

Das Mordecai Gimmick hatte eindeutig das Jahrzehnt verfehlt. Es hätte Anfang der 90er Jahre erscheinen müssen wo Gimmicks wie unter anderem Papa Shango, Kamala oder auch der Berzerker eben gerade Populär waren. Aber 2004 interessierte sich doch kaum noch jemand für so ein Gimmick.

[@NateTheGnat]

Owen Hart & Yokozuna was the ultimate odd couple tag team back in 1995.

[@nygwill88]

You didn't mention the wrestler N.Y. Day saying "NOOOO, LET ME LISTEN TO YA"

[@robleavold84]

Very sad Windham passed so young he had a great head for the business having he’s family everywhere in the business. Hopefully some day we will see the conclusion to RK bro.

[@ryanholter6820]

7:52 Nitro? No that was Starrcade . That's a big detail to overlook.

[@josephmiller9424]

I always thought WCW or NWA missed out when they couldve had Flair & HORSEMEN vs Buddy Landell and hia version of Horsemen couldve worked and couldve had great promos

[@NeroPiroman]

2:42 bad image for fire and water nation battle, the guy on the right is from the air nation

[@Punk_is_idol]

If orton wasn’t injured pretty sure he would’ve put riddle in check. Orton had Wild issues going on outside of wwe but he was basically untouchable.

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

John Cena/Randy Orton John Cena/The Miz

[@Drunkzilla.]

Yo,right to censure was an underrated act in the Attitude Era,I hope they can bring back that idea in this days.

[@ScarysReviews]

Bray wyatt ( Waylon Mercy, Raven, Undertaker, Jake the snake, Vampiro) Fiend (Doink, mankind, Abyss, Boogeyman) Abyss (Undertaker, Kane, Mankind)

[@KelseyDonaldson-jk7ue]

Honestly Mordeci barely got over during his WWE run

[@robertclark2253]

Steve Blackman and Al Snow . The often silent tough guy with the vocal nutcase .

[@mrmr5580]

Rkbro showed how much of a real pro Randy is, he can make almost any role work

[@MrParker-ux2mh]

Cornette v. Russo: biggest shoot ever!!! #TeamCornetteForever

[@richl8001]

Ima sip my sprite right now....bro lol

[@nygwill88]

Interesting video!!!

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Also, with Bret Hart being my favorite wrestler of all time, this list helps explain why I never cared for Goldberg.

[@kitfo18]

Russo has less then 45K sub, Cornett has over 380KI subscribers. I am not saying who is better or worse but I am say their is a understanding of wrestling that more fans seen to granite to and that says a lot.

[@ousmansano21]

Just look at Jim's views when anything big happens in wrestling he's still relevant not the same case for Russo tho

[@darkerratum]

Russo has no real insights to lean upon, really. Corny, for how old school he is, is a student of the industry and he's done everything top to bottom. His heelish persona on his podcast also rustles a lot of jimmies lol

[@Chief_thunder_charging_bear]

Corny will comment on this video if it gets to him 😂😂

[@rickybaker4588]

​@JaxPillow-qf3vm idk bro maybe because he was a shitty booker bro and ran companies into the ground bro and lies like hulk hogan bro oh yeah and uses bro as a period to every fucking sentence 🤦‍♂️....bro

[@brenthatcher5748]

I've never seen how Goldberg's kick hurt Bret so much. Used to see stiffer shots every ECW match.

[@sonicslv6132]

Yeah I always think it just freak accident that somehow do critical damage to Bret. In many other instance, it would be just stiff kick. And to be fair, the opponent has more control on superkick, especially in this instance where Bret is the one that moving from the rope instead of Goldberg that moving to kick a standstill opponent.

[@zemox2534]

​@sonicslv6132 Bret could have recovered if he just took time off, but he chose to continue to wrestle after The Bill bout, and that decision only exacerbated the concussion and made it worse.

[@night6724]

Why didn't you mention Charles Wright in RTC either?

[@RemyXAnarchy]

That is unbelievable to be that Rey is 5’6” I always thought he was way shorter

[@BrainDamage922]

Rey Mysterio is actually between 5'3"-5'4". I've met him, and I'm only 5'8" and he was a good 3-4" shorter than me. Also, in my opinion, CM Punk's mirror opposite was Jeff Hardy.

[@drctrs]

Is it a re-upload? Mentioning Orton’s absence due to injury but not mentioning Riddle’s firing…

[@bigbenji__]

Modercai was underrated they was letting him lose to Rey Mysterio though lol he had a lot of potential

[@zanethind]

You've got it all wrong with the Bret Hart and Goldberg one. Goldberg was always compared to Steve Austin as his mirror image

[@koreanelvis]

IMAGINE A CHOP FROM Paul White?! I’m “5’6” so I CAN understand the pain Rey Mysterio felt!! 🤕

[@Beast_the_smash_guy]

Jim Cornett is the type of guy to celebrate Vince Russo's death *if Jim outlives Russo, that is*

[@sion_cw]

Ko and sami too are quite opposite

[@jonneely4706]

Glacier was not kanes dbl... he wad supposed to be sub zero from mk that comparison doesn't make sense

[@ianstratton]

16:15 "Punk's current home in AEW." Yeah....about that.....

[@JGSfilmss]

Was the finn balor video taken down?

[@bruceaskew2107]

5:01 Jim Russo looks so different now

[@jorgenavarrete535]

Gimmicks are crazy

[@zanethind]

Rey Mysterio's counter part was literally Sin Cara and Kalisto

[@danmitchell1091]

Bret/Goldberg accident happened at Starcade.

[@PrestonJefferson-h3w]

Mordecai and Undertaker storyline would've been incredible. And remember, sub-zero, I mean Glacier. Lol. Hey, I thought it was pretty cool.

[@edmorris2466]

Damn when wad this filmed?

[@jarvisb5993]

Should’ve did rkbro vs Rock and sock connection

[@approx4ft]

Never heard of Gacier 😅

[@HWJASURY]

And now there is a Blue Kane.

[@lonelim9]

Kane and Gacier's son

[@GryHen-pg9iy]

Kane would have demolished glacier

[@dhall888]

Wow.., never thought about it, but glacer did freeze the show

[@AVATAR3117]

Well in Mortal Kombat they already had their counter opposites with sub zero and scorpion That's your fire and ice right there quite literally I mean one blames the other for wiping out their clan And fact seeks revenge against the other for that very reason

[@geoffchurchill5492]

the full circle of sub zero Midway games stole the name from a character in movie Running Man played by WWWF star prof. Toro Tanaka

[@tariqdogg5944]

John Cena is my favorite wrestler. Rey Mysterio is my 15th favorite wrestler

[@kanoaikawach]

You can tell this is weeks old. Riddle has been fired and they're saying "oh what if they came back together?!?" lol, either that or they are out of touch with reality

[@kanoaikawach]

On top of that, the "CM Punk's home AEW" and talking about MMM(Mace and Mansoor).

[@baileyturnbull]

You mention fire vs ice feuds in films ect buy you didn't mention possibly the most notorious fire vs ice fued scorpion and subzero

[@willnicklen4196]

Goldberg super kick was at Starcade on hitman not Nitro

[@johnnymcflyy93]

i woulda added kurt angle and stone cold!

[@Arjay404]

Eh, I don't know if Punk and Cena is really a good fit for this list. I think Punk and Hardy is a better one.

[@soaildas821]

You could've added the gimmicks of Abyss and Joseph Park from tna

[@Dr_1212]

Do the opposite of keeping Predator Vince

[@CDeezntz]

Russo had nothing to do with Val Venis' porn star gimmick and Val had cut his hair months before joining RTC...

[@willtheangrydudeist9120]

It seems you are talking about polar opposites, not mirror images.... Example of a mirror image is Demolition to the Road Warriors....

[@iknottheculture.407]

Mirror image and Gimmick infringement is so damn similar, don't you guys think.

[@LagunaShirogane]

Mordecai had such potential. I hope they bring back that concept some day to have someone carry the Undertaker's torch. His spirit. His power.

[@flodareltih4832]

Bray Wyatt was supposed to be the one to carry on the torch. sadly as we all came to find out, we will never be able to see it come to fruition due to his super unexpected passing.

[@nlee4566]

​@flodareltih4832 Bray Wyatt did carry his legacy, hence they match at WM30.

[@Chris-ev5ok]

Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman

[@FutureGio]

Why does Joe sound like the dude from Wrestlelamia?

[@JBzTV]

Did you say Randy Orton is from Knoxville? He's from St. Louis

[@Chris-ev5ok]

Steve Blackman and Shane McMahon

[@Ollie_Ollie]

Blue Kane! Blue Kane! Blue Kane!

[@admiralawesomeDC]

You missed out, Andre the Giant and miss Elizabeth

[@waltersamuel8861]

Mmm dude, Riddle was fired

[@Chris-ev5ok]

HHH and Sting

[@jasonenglish3713]

Mankind and Fiend are opposite of each other

[@Chris-ev5ok]

Stone Cold and Shawn Michaels

[@robertherter1640]

Book and goldie was a odd funny team

[@JTeam45]

I completely forgot that Right to Censor was a conservative parody... weird times.

[@jasonmartinson7758]

This recording was done before Riddle got fired

[@Mr_Leo_DS]

Honorable mention to The Young Bucks and FTR

[@cynthiachristie1059]

do a video about wrestlers who died

[@ryankmcgrathsr]

Glacier? Nice....may as well have just went ahead and typed Gaycier.

[@TheDrizzyRon]

Pls do will osprey story

[@ravinraven6913]

you start it by saying equal and opposite, but then you go for just the opposite? oh well You say you think the undertaker is possessed by some demon? no, he IS the demon...
