The lonely island theme for the Mean street posse is hilarious

[@mrmoose6619]

I was (and still am) a Mean Street Posse fan, and I TOTALLY approve of the theme. I am still laughing at it.

[@mephosto]

everytime.

[@thepubknight6144]

The mean street posse theme is goated

[@hitomisalazar4073]

I like that it's a mix of both the Lonely Island song and the original Mean Street Posse song. Really well mixed together.

[@TheDorkKnight5419]

Unrelated but have I know we are coming up to the tragic death of Owen hart, but have we passed or are we coming up on when D'lo accidentally paralyzed Droz?

I had never heard of Monica Seles before, so thanks for pointing out her story. She’s a tough one.

[@BrolyChan]

The episode with one of the highest rated segments in WWE history, which one was that? The Stooges vs The Mean Street Posse...amazing.

[@Obscusion2]

Not just one of, but it was literally THE highest rated segment in WWE history until This is Your Life a few months later; even today it's still #2. I especially love how Gas, Rodney, Brisco, & Patterson could never really explain WHY their match was the highest-rated segment, but the simple fact that it was actually helped get Gas & Rodney proper wrestling contracts. It'll be tough to not have the Posse around for a few months of RtW, but they'll be back in time for SummerSlam.

[@TheSBleeder]

​@@Obscusion2That's a myth. The highest rated segment of Raw ever was Undertaker vs. Stone Cold the night after King of the Ring 1999.

Monica Seles for anyone who doesn't know. Became world the number one women's tennis player in the early 90s. Before she was stabbed by a lunatic on the tennis courts during a match. But Seles thankfully would come back from a injuries after being stabbed, to become world number one again.

[@kiereanm3254]

I know that she’s often called a diva or a bitch but I hesitate to trust that in a male dominated industry like pro wrestling. I can’t lie that she was outstanding in the ring or something but treating her like the Devil incarnate is a little suspect.

[@WhoCaresAnymoreTho]

I think Patterson and Brisco started using Hulk Hogan's theme around this time. They would also use that theme in WrestleMania 2000 and No Mercy on the N64.

[@WickedFireBird69]

It's funny what RLtW has done for my nostalgia goggles. I remember being a HUGE Sable fan back in the day, but looking back, she really was just a ho. Jackie, Chyna, Ivory, and even Luna did more for the women's division during that time than she ever did, but because she just got naked whenever wherever she's the one who is remembered; I'm thankful for Trish and Lita coming along in the next year and really showing what the women could bring to the table!

[@Mr.Suavehouse]

Actually before Trish starting becoming a full time wrestler she was portrayed much much worse those segments with Vince McMahon was cringe worthy

[@tafua_a]

I won't lie, Paul Bearer going "I'm not a rassler" is comedy gold to me.

Whoooo, today was the wrong day for that that X-Pac/Sable story

[@kryptsoveternity2709]

Hey man... not sure when/if you'll read this, but I'll just leave it here nonetheless. I first became interested in pro wrestling during my early teenage years, and I have been an "on and off" fan since... I first stumbled upon your channel over a year ago, your Ministry Of Darkness video being my introduction to your content. At the time, I wasn't following wrestling and hadn't been since the year 2015, but I instantly became addicted to your work. Not only are your videos entertaining, but they are also incredibly insightful. You have an exemplary way of expressing & discussing some of the things that were key reasons why I became a wrestling fan in the first place. Your videos teach a lot about the history of the business, offering well-informed, well thought out retellings of some of my favourite storylines & matches, and at the same time educating me about the stuff which took place when I wasn't watching or wasn't even born yet. Your videos have had such an impact on me that I've started watching wrestling again in the year 2024... something I never thought I'd do. It's definitely nothing like what I grew up with, and given the current controversies it's not exactly a perfect time to be proud of being a wrasslin' fan, but... I can't help it lol. Thank you and please keep up the good work!

[@LUC4POISON]

I can’t get enough of that opening! You’re a genius!!!! I think I watched it like 10x in a row

[@neilmckay2993]

I could be wrong, but I think the result of the evening gown match might've been the first and only reverse Dusty Finish in the history of pro wrestling.

[@PhillipCummingsUSA]

Man, Sable was very popular yet it really didn't last very long. You'd have thought she had a years long push at the top the way some people try and frame her legacy. She was popular more for a lack of competition then being good for wrestling.

[@ryananderson5202]

Stuck up and overrated.

[@henrygvidonas9573]

Pretty much everything Sable was involved in was complete trash. She couldn't talk, she couldn't wrestle, and she looked like a stripper/porn star on her second comeback after failed attempts at starting a real estate business and a pet grooming salon. She was only there as wank fodder for 14-year-old boys and people who were too repressed to rent porn. _"White cotton panties, pal"._

[@chrisbelos2834]

remember the "my husband beats me and mistreats me" with Mero? pain

[@fernandosaker3667]

Indeed. And honestly, I can't even blame that HBK reversed the decision of the Evening Gown match and awarded the Women's Championship to Debra, considering that the RTW videos show that Debra was being much more relevant to the RAW episodes than Sable for the past months (not as much as Chyna, but if I remember correctly, Chyna herself didn't want to get involved with the women's division at that time) - and unlike Sable, Debra did drop the belt to a proper wrestler on the first opportunity.
