Changing max dupri back to LA knight( YEAH) was one of the best moves in the triple H era

[@kevinuchiha6830]

Indeed it was

[@BlaxkSun]

When did the triple h era start?

[@Temperance_XVII]

[@niiadjeianang4529]

Facts, when Vince was still in creative Knight almost got fired because he didn't like the Max Dupri gimmick

[@BlaxkSun]

@@Temperance_XVII so doesn’t that mean Max Douro was HHH idea?

[@dionhalpin5117]

One thing I appreciate about the Tribal Chief is when he lifts the title, he does it slowly and flexes his physich. When he does this, he makes the title look heavy, thus elevating the importance of the title.

[@khesipresents1885]

I agree ..I noticed that too.

[@WeThe1s424]

I love how Santi set it up to where Chad Gable is basically SHOOOSHing Shorty G. 😂😂😂

[@casen-scott9242]

Cody’s “UnDashing” gimmick was my personal favorite of his. He really nailed it with that gimmick

[@bhaskarkakati]

Maxine Dupri with Alpha Academy is still the best version of her in my opinion. Sure things have been a lil slow recently but she still gets lots of great air time. Although she is not a top-tier female wrestler, WWE can still put her in a few serious fueds to see how she sticks the landing.

[@anxofernandez3344]

Maxine Dupri is more fit for the divas era because they didn't need to wrestle. I think she should lean into that, pick some of the basic moves they did back then and be more like a model. I kinda want some interaction with LA Knight though. I don't know exactly how they do it but I would definitely watch.

[@gusfring9194]

They're still kayfabe siblings

[@anxofernandez3344]

@@gusfring9194 that's why I want to see the interaction. I don't know exactly what they could do, but at least a quick backstage segment could be fun.

[@CharliePlayz36]

That thumbnail of la Knight in that blue suit and glasses immediately made me think of clark kent.

[@EG101_Official]

[@WaltorP-dd3ey]

True Clark Kentish Image. yeyarrrr .

[@wrestlingmemeration771]

I think Big Time Becks doesn't get enough flowers, she was what current day Rollins was supposed to be, she was so over the top and her title run was so good. It also made us miss "The Man" enough and when The Man returned it was like no time passed.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

It was horrible

[@crunchychunkypowdery5101]

I actually prefer Seth "Freakin" Rollins as a character because the eccentric tendencies can work for a heel or face. He transitioned from The Visionary as a heel first and now as a face so it's a character that doesnt need much tweaking for him to go from serious to goofy to heel to face. It's working for him. As the Architect he was way too serious almost to a fault considering J&J Security was so goofy.

[@bluey1695]

Man I loved supernatural Alexa Bliss. She pulls it off so well I think and I am a sucker for the Supernatural plots that made me love Undertaker. Shame we lost Bray Wyatt too soon because it seemed like they were ramping up for a return of that storyline.

[@lotpotflop]

With the knowledge that Nikki is actively pursing a PHD, I like to think they’re just side lining her so she can focus on her studies 😅

[@ryancoleman878]

Another Santi video that slaps. If you guys aren't following him on Patreon then you are missing out on some amazing takes with his Raw, and Smackdown reviews. Well worth it!

[@zackhep]

Alexa did amazing with what she had in the dark role, but I think she'll come back as the goddess.

[@Bayley4ever]

I want spooky Alexa. They don't have to go full supernatural, but make her more ominous and you don't know what to expect. A true evil Alexa.

[@brendane3283]

I like this video concept. Do more like this in the future.

[@idkyoutellme1236]

I remember being a HUGE fan of Becky when she was the Irish Lass Kicker around the time Smack Down Live started in like July of 2016. Me personally that's my favorite version of her, but obviously everyone will go with The Man.

[@Mr_blesson_official]

Next video should be top 15 underated wwe stars 😭

[@kevinuchiha6830]

Ever? Or current?

[@NewPatek_]

Shelton, D-Lo, Victoria, Umaga, Masters, Chavo, Shamrock, Blackman, Severn, Cesaro, Bubba Rodger’s, Morrison, Finlay, Wade Barrett, Dustin Rhodes etc….

[@Bayley4ever]

Masters? not really. Shamrock I think most people knew he wasn't get used right. Caesaro was bigger than Vince gave him credit for. Yes, AEW is probably not using him right either. Dustin was okay? Wade was getting pushed, got hurt and never got back to where he was before. No I don't think Cena buried him. @@NewPatek_

[@tekkenaddict1]

I really like "Big Time Becks" over "The Man" and "The Irish Lass Kicker". It was interesting to see someone so powerful, have this insecure side to her that she desperately tried to cover.

[@ItachiUchiha-ut6xj]

Agreed! Becky was awesome as a heel. The Man is boring.

[@zani_1]

HOT TAKE: the undertakers “deadman” gimmick is overall a terrible awful gimmick that taker catapulted to the top due to pure talent and the ability to play the role to utter perfection I think anybody in takers spot would’ve failed

[@faizsayyed5161]

The Undashing Cody Rhodes is also very underrated!

[@BR4DZZ]

3:24 love that Santi knows Peaky Blinders

[@caetanoloureiro938]

HEY Man! Great work! Big fan from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@jaydenlawrence8393]

I just love Bayley as a whole! I never liked her more or less when she turned because she's always been my favorite Women's superstar. I seriously can't choose between any if her gimmicks because she's entertaining and loveable either way.

[@Bayley4ever]

So true. She was just so likeable as the hugger. She was over then, but it took her heel turn with Sasha to get the recognition. Now she is one of the tops in the industry.

[@fazzle1]

I love Bayley and I loved the hugger, but poor booking on the main roster and her tentativeness on a live mic after being called up killed that character. Her heel turn saved her career on the main roster and while I'm happy she's finally a face again, it would feel like a real regression if she were to ever become full on hugger.

[@prathampatel8166]

i have to say, for almost all of the gimmicks, you picked the current versions showing how good of a booker HHH is👍

[@ianacquaye3719]

Good thing Bayley turned heel in 2019, could you imagine Hugger Bayley in the midst of a global pandemic? 😭

[@evdomos]

I think he looked great as Max Dupri. He should disrespect an opponent some time coming out as Max because they don't deserve LA Knight.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

No

[@drewizzle2214]

I miss the OG heel Alexa Bliss. I hope she returns sometime soon. She will instantly be a contender if they book her right.

[@liviaeisler1513]

I think the Walter should turn heel in a impact segment by hitting his teammates Pedro Pascal and king Julian with a chair a smack down in RAW.

[@SoxPats12]

I agree!

[@justinlynch3]

I'm the exact opposite. I never cared for Alexa Bliss and it annoyed me honestly that WWE kept giving her titles. But Possessed Alexa Bliss, I loved that. That's the one time I would of actually enjoyed Alexa being champion. Of course at no point during the supernatural run did WWE make her champion.

[@pikapikapitiful]

I know we put stardust vs American nightmare. But my favorite cody rhodes was right when he got his "dashing" face messed up by rey mysterio. His heel work then was top notch in my opinion. Then his ic championship run was awesome too.

[@user-xc2ec9ji4h]

In Wrestle Mania GUNTHER face two challenger: Jay and Brown Breaker a fatal three way IC champ match

Lol not going to happen stop dreaming

[@kylehayman6669]

Hot Take I loved the big dog Roman but granted that was my childhood his feud with Sheamus the authority Triple H and Vince was the best thing about WWE at the time for me at least and millions of people considering though hated was the most popular star on the roster regardless what the narratives may have you believe

Big dog to Tribal Chief might be the greatest character transformation in history.

[@diamondboy9654]

Nah hulkamania to Hollywood hogan was the best

[@oscarsantillan12]

This video was 🔥🔥

[@JaKarTV]

Hey Santi can you do a video for which wrestlers NEED a new gimmick right now ?! 🔥

[@syednoorerasul]

Well let's see Becky needs to do something new- especially if she wants to be champ again Bianca has basically been the same so something new would be good Raquel Rodriguez needs to be a heel Sami Zayn could turn heel or just stop being such a whiner and get that championship Bobby needs something new, he's still swole af he needs something new to get over with the audience and be a champion again Kevin Owens could try something new too ig

[@_jugghead]

Now that i think of.... Samy Zayn was actually an asshole sneaky heel while he was trying to join Bloodline.... But by the time he was honorary Uce, he was already super entertaining and over as a babyface... Oh boy! That was one hell of a smooth transition

[@gunnark08]

Gosh i have some nostalgia for the usos faice paint gimmick and their old entrance even though it was stupid i miss those days 😢

[@cozyprimo]

I have to disagree with Stardust having more work put into it because I think everything cody rhodes had did to that point including stardust is what lead to him making the American nightmare character it became the catalyst of the "cody rhodes story"

[@Bman328]

The best was when Alexa Bliss like possessed Zelina Vega in the MITB match and made her climb off the ladder 😂😂😂

[@zackhep]

😆😆😆

[@TheBenevolentJoker]

I would love him to do other companies or past era versions of this like sting's surfer, crow, or joker personas, Hollywood Hogan or hulk Hogan, Mick Foley, Mankind, Dude Love, or My favorite one Cactus Jack and Matt hardy

Santi new theme song vs old theme song

Santi lookin like he just joined the Judgement Day 😆

[@pellet1167]

My immediate reaction to Butch was "Is his character Scrappy Doo?" And ive skipped all his matches that didn't have Sheamus ever since

[@raulgys1717]

Can u do a video please on like the next great/good/okay/best up an coming nxt superstars, both men and woman

[@mazengawish]

I actually like the visionary gimmick of Seth and he seems like he's having so much fun with it.

[@stick_mann1181]

i miss the goddess alexa

[@rivanianx]

I remember when Butch debuted on the main roster and his gimmick was that whether he won or lost he wouldn't wait for the referee to announce the end of the match. He just up and left through the crowd. Anyone else remember that?

[@ItsAssFace]

The only thing I remember is that dumbasses were saying he got buried and ruined.

[@teemimika7105]

To he honest Max Dupri wasn't that bad tho, it just the guys he's managing has a bad characters. And i actually think Max Dupri > babyface LA Knight

[@amadousy8227]

You should do this with more superstar

[@ianacquaye3719]

Santi in the Judgement Day? 😈

[@reonmaterman6600]

The First time, he returned as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. This time, he came back as just The Rock.

[@StephenLugo]

Hey Santi I thought of an idea for your next video how about you guess a wrestlers theme song but it’s mashups

[@larryisazombie6454]

Hear me out on Nikki Cross. Her current could easily transition into something like Mankind. She’s got some screws loose and pulls off unhinged well.

[@tozemaria6731]

Santi whats your hall of fame predictions?

What about R Truth, Finn, Bray and others? Wish the video longer need a part 2

[@KingJolly7000]

How could you forget about the POWA OF TOZAWA!?!

[@mountaindrew972]

As a long-time Sheamus fan, it makes me sad to know that he was supposed to be the next face of the company until he got injured. Therefore, we ended up with big dog Roman Reigns instead

[@The_stoned_lunchlady]

Your pretty spot on bro about all the gimmicks

[@uflstallions_dynasty]

That’s what he does

[@syednoorerasul]

Yeah bro

[@nycSnowman]

Smiley guy Balor Club Finn vs judgment day Finn. While on the topic of Judgment Day, Mami Rhea vs nxt uk Rhea

[@premium_twentyseven]

Back in the day, I loved Big Dog Reigns, but now that Tribal Chief Reigns is a thing, I realize how stupid I was.

[@nathanm1748]

Hey santi, I’d love to hear your opinion on how wwe could revitalise the women’s tag division…. Might make a good video….

[@RomaroBrandon]

OMG don't over complicate it. The Rock currently is Hollywood Rock and before he was People's Champion Rock. Or just say heel Rock vs face Rock. Also not regular human Alexa Bliss. She's literally nicknamed the Goddess of WWE. Karrion Kross is currently a part of a faction. That is the difference between NXT Karrion Kross and main roster Karrion Kross.

[@Jeilatin143]

Singing with the Violin/Rockstar Shinsukewith Rick Boogs? Or the Heel Anime villain Shinsuke?

[@TrOttoLovesWrestling]

Monday night messiah Seth Rollins is so underrated.

[@aaronmason7861]

Tribal chief Roman Reigns is better than big dog Roman Reigns that’s all I’m gonna say

[@Bman328]

The heel version of the visionary is the best Seth Rollins IMO

[@user-sy5sy2np8r]

I've always assumed that face Rock's motivation was to make me get SO SICK of hearing him say the same 27 catch phrases over and over and over and over and over, that I eventually slam my fist straight through my TV!?!

[@markovalntobresci5714]

Cody got his match, you can stop pretending you don’t like the rock now.

[@user-sy5sy2np8r]

@@markovalntobresci5714 I don't like The Rock as a face. Never did.

[@Bayley4ever]

Most of them are improved characters. Dom def, Maxine Dupri is growing as a character now. Alexa Bliss/Wyatt time was awesome. LA Knight is just annoying it is a better character than Model version. Gable has grown, but he is great anyways. Usos of course the old paint Usos was cool, but they grew so much getting away from that. Pete Dunne is an awesome character, brutal, no nonsense. Butch was a dumb Vince idea. Make him scrappy, ooo. Glad Pete is back. Bayley has always been great, but now she is top tier and deserves the world.

[@QThEMUSIC1]

Top 10 high flyers of all time

IK this is ur opinion but i really like the Current day Maxxine Dupri(Alpha Academy)

[@humanfulltimewhistle7216]

Gonna give some constructive criticism here. The choices you put makes for very obvious answers which made this video a bit uninteresting. You should have chosen different characters or gimmicks, like with Drew ofc you're gonna pick current Drew over 3MB 100 times out of 100. But you know having the WWE champion face Drew vs current Drew would be a lot closer. Or even heel Jey Uso in the bloodline or the current yeet Mid card event Jey instead of having face paint Usos, the answer is obvious af.

[@TheMemeMachineMatt]

This Rock is High Chief Rock.

[@ibrahimsalameh6874]

[@anthonybaggott9825]

[@fazzle1]

As far as Butch and Pete Dunne.. you could definitely argue that Butch was just Pete Dunne with a different name by the end of that run, but when he was first called up, that Scrappy Doo wannabe bullshit was TERRIBLE. There's a reason why people hated the Butch character, and it's because of those first few months. Also when it comes to current Nikki Cross vs Nikki ASH, the correct answer is C) NXT Nikki Cross.

[@ItsAssFace]

Bro Butch was entertaining asf in his first few months or more specifically under Vince. It was the hardcore wrestling marks that were mad at the Butch character.

[@Oli-ts5gp]

Max Dupri was a future world champion

[@user-sy5sy2np8r]

Hot take: I preferred Max Dupree by a LONG SHOT! LA Knight is SO GENERIC AND ANNOYING AF! Max Dupree was going NOWHERE. I LOVE that!!!!
