can we stop calling chad gable underrated, I haven’t heard anyone say anything bad or mediocre about him in like 8 months, he’s phenomenal and I feel like everyone knows that, underutilized is definitely a better word

I put it like this, some wrestlers are underrated by their company but not by fans, some are overrated and fans see through it. Like Charlotte for example, underrated by fans but overrated by WWE. Dolph Ziggler, overrated by fans but underrated by WWE

If he’s underutilized, than he’s being underrated by the backstage bosses.

[@TivaWap1738]

@@pleaseshutup7053 I've seen him constantly get called the greatest of all time, the best since HBK, so many comparisons and what ifs about how he should be a 10 time world champion etc. I think he's one of the best SELLERS of all time, if not a top 3 seller he's gotta be top 5 at least. But every other category when it comes to wrestling he's not even a top 10 guy. On the flipside tho, I don't think he should be the jobber that every NXT guy squashes when they debut.

[@RyanAcidhedzMurphy]

I've never heard The Miz, but just off the top of my head... Dusty Rhodes, baby. Rowdy, when you think you know the answers I change the questions, Piper. The recently passed, true GOAT, Terry Funk. Mick Foley, best crazy man promos. Shane Douglas, love him or hate him, he was the first to do shoot promos, when CM Punk was just a kid. Ric Flair, best over the top wild promo ever. One of the best classy promos ever. Jake the Snake, and Raven, best psychological promos ever. Arn Anderson, probably the most believable tough guy promo. If he said he was going to hurt someone, you believed it. Jim Cornette, Bobby Hennen, JJ Dillon, Paul Bearer, Paul Heyman, Gary Heart, Jimmy Heart, and I'd even toss Sinister Minister Jim Mitchell in there as some of the best manager promos ever. Cornette and Hennen literally started riots back in the day because they were such good heels. Much as I hate Hogan, I can't deny his cocaine fueled promos were entertaining. Macho Man, Ooooo Yeah... And lets not forget that for most of the history of pro wrestling, going back over a hundred years now, most promotions lived and died by the ability of the wrestlers to talk people into wanting to buy tickets to see the matches. How many tickets, PPV buys or TV ratings has The Miz brought in compared to say, Gorgeous George, who was one of the two people who got America to buy TVs when they first became available.

I agree that no one should've beaten taker at WM.. it would've been better in almost every aspect for me personally

[@Dresden_Nova]

I'll forever be biased on this, but Punk bathing in the ashes of the urn should've led to him beating the streak. That was my first time watching a Raw, and that moment is why I'm into this business now

[@cokeysmurf2436]

It wouldn't have benefited the business. It would've only benefited Taker. The business just doesn't work that way.

[@gabepollock1641]

In my opinion, if anyone was going to, it should’ve been Bray Wyatt at Mania 31. Brock didn’t need the rub, and no one who came after could’ve used it in their then-present incarnations (though I’d be willing to hear an argument for a heel Roman at 33 had they gone that route).

[@MrsWellner]

If it wasn't Taker's idea, I would agree with you. He was ready to walk away. He'd been wrestling since 1987. He was done.

[@letstalksports8779]

True. But his style was very different than most. So many people forget that.

[@thevoicelesswriter]

I tried imagining Dashin' Cody Rhodes and Smoke and Mirrors in the main event of WrestleMania. It just doesn't fit.

[@RBRSC]

I will say, that Romans probably best moment and promo ever (if you ignore that he was allegedly a face and it wasn't a heel turn), was the "This is my yard now" mic drop on Raw after beating Taker at WM. Unfortunately, that was after Brock already broke it, and as aforementioned, did not go into a heel turn

[@danhkiin6074]

Hornswoggle should have ended Undertaker's streak

[@navtektv]

Yes. Triple H vs Taker Hell in a Cell should have been his last Mania match. Retired at 20 - 0, undefeated.

[@Dave_ja_vu]

My hot wrestling take is the Yes Movement, while it was great for that particular story, overall it had a negative effect on how people consume wrestling. It just empowered fans into thinking that if they complained louder and harder they'd get what they wanted, and the toxicity online with fans has increased dramatically since then

You have to remember at the time fans had gotten behind so many people only to have them buried Daniel Bryan happend to catch fire at the same time fans decided enough is enough we want our guy and we’re not gonna let you bury him again

[@zeospark9715]

The problem with the Streak being ended by Lesnar is that it really didn't do much for him. Like this man has already been built as one of the literal strongest men in WWE history. He didn't need to be the one to end the streak since he has already a lot of stacked accomplishments. That and he isn't a full time wrestler anymore. If the Streak had to been ended by someone, it should've been by a rising talent that is being built as a major player in the future. Not by someone who, at the time, only wrestled like 3 matches per year. And of course I'm still on the side that the Streak shouldn't been conquered at all

[@anthonylonlieano848]

That is however speaking with the context of who Brock is now. Look back at Brock pre streak and post and it is two entirely different beasts. (pun not intended) Brock lost to Cena on his return and had lost to Triple H at the previous mania (though he did win their little feud.) While seen as a dangerous foe he was not the end all be all that he was after he beat Taker. It is cause of that match that we got the Brock we did, the one who demolished Cena at Summerslam and would go on to basically be the final boss of the WWE.

[@theblindcaboose]

I agree on both of your stances, Brock shouldn't have beaten The Streak since it didn't give as much of a boost to his career and future stories as taking away The Streak was a negative and I agree with The Streak shouldn't have been conquered. However, I do think Brock could handle the weight more than anyone else, and also probably the most credible person to conquer it. While it would have done more for Roman, the amount of hate Roman would have gotten if he was the first, I doubt he could have risen above it. I imagine he would have had to quit wrestling which would have caused even more disdain. Fans might have been most accepting of Bray taking it as a passing of the torch from one character to the next. But WWE also would have to be all in with what he wants to do instead of half-assing it.

[@TivaWap1738]

@@anthonylonlieano848 but I could also take ur argument and flip it, the streak ending and Cena getting massacred in a match like that are 2 things we never saw before, so Brock could've done one or the other and still felt like a big deal Edit: I agree that if they would've chosen Bray they would've had to not half ass it. Roman and Seth were equally good options too

Hot take of my own, sheamus is one of the most underrated wrestlers ever, guy puts on great matches with everybody and was hated for quite a while, finally getting some respect now but he’s very underrated

[@gentimorina400]

There was a time where they wanted Sheamus to be the next face of the company (2010 - 2012). So I think that's where this take comes from. I kinda see it but A LOT must have happened in a different way for him to have beaten the Undertaker.

[@gingerfitdad5091]

Chris Jericho was great on the mic

[@rriggs6547]

He was as good as the wrestlers he grew up watching. I grew up watching the territories. The majority of wrestlers were on the level of the Miz. Because they had to be. They had to cut a different promo for every city in the territory as each one got named by the wrestler. When you are cutting 30 promos every week that you have to script yourself you get very good at it. For example, Arn Anderson was known as not being very good on the mic. Yet he has a few promos that are considered Iconic today like the My Spot promo.

[@Dave_ja_vu]

Arn Anderson is a great talker he was just in a group where he didn't need to be that. Saying he's known as not a good talker is wild, are you sure we watched the same stuff

[@rriggs6547]

@@Dave_ja_vu Arn himself has said he wasn't great at it. He wasn't horrible, but standing next to Flair very few can compete. And honestly, almost everyone was as good as Arn in the territory days. When you have to cut a promo for each city in your market every week you tend to get good after a while. In a large territory they may have cut 40 promos every week. Had to make sure each city had it's name mentioned. Today the Miz seems great because so few people come close to how good people were back in the day. This is why I like seeing MJF and a few others. He actively studied how greats like Flair and Heenan and Roberts and Piper cut promos so he could find his own style based off of those greats. But I would say the Miz isn't even in the same league as Austin or the Rock or Jericho or Punk.

[@Dave_ja_vu]

@@rriggs6547 again, saying hes known as not being a good talker is wild. Him being humble and saying he's not good compared to Flair, Dusty and Tully doesn't change that

[@rriggs6547]

@@Dave_ja_vu I watched wrestling when starting about the time Arn started in wrestling. I remember him well. He was decent at promos, but he didn't stand out. Everyone at that time was good at promos. If you weren't good you didn't last long. But he wasn't anything beyond the average wrestler. The thing is, today, anyone from that era would be looked at as a great talker. Most of the people today talk like Braun or Ricochet or Jungle Boy. The Young Bucks have gotten to a point where they are decent today. 40 years ago they would have had a manager because they weren't good enough to talk on their own. Because I started watching in the 70's my standards may be different from most. But I don't see Arn as great. He was good, but no different than everyone else who had to cut an individual promo each week for every city or town in the territory. When you cut 30 or 40 promos a week you get good or you go home. But I look at the wrestlers today and think maybe 10 of them would be able to hang with the greats on the mic. And most of them are because they have 20 years or so of experience.

Here's a hot take: CM Punk's pipebomb was just him sitting on that stage whining that the company he worked for didn't see him as big a star as he saw himself. A LOT of wrestlers think that. It wasn't like he was being mistreated or disrespected or forced to do embarrassing things. He had plenty of success up to that point but because his little public pout party worked out for him, it's become his go to. It just seems like he's always crying and complaining about something and I know his fans that like to defend everything he does will disagree but they can't change my mind on this. He's a perpetual whiner.

[@KONSACZ]

Hard to even call this a take, this is literally what this promo was about. 50% of him bitching and whining how god he (think he) is and other 50% insulting peoples backstage. It was a shocker promo back then but after years we can see behind it.

I can see the Sheamus ending Takers streak. Sheamus came in and defeated guys like Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton. He really never faced Taker so having a storyline between the 2 could be awesome. I have another big take for y'all. Paul Heyman is the best manager of all time.

[@VLazerStudios]

The Paul hey man one is a fact not a hot take

[@RariShiesty]

I think the bloodline story could have worked and not being dragged out too much if Cody was champion because when the usos lost I was like Roman has to lose now because now you can have Gunther win the rumble and have him go after Cody at mania bam sets up that match but have Roman cost jey in the money in the bank and have him cost at the rumble and that sets them up for a mania match bam two matches you wanna see but now you need Cody to finish the story but how can you have him win the rumble again and not have people kinda turn on him a bit

[@iLLiDaN30]

TNA didn't go down when AJ left, it was already dead back then. They literally killed it by so many bad decisions not even Vince could make. I mean AJ Styles had a fckin Emo Gimmick in TNA, after most of the top stars left. When AJ left, it was just the last nail in the coffin for TNA all thanks to Hogan, Bishoff and stuff. TNA was argubly WAY better in their prime then todays wrestling either WWE or AEW. They were extremely underrated back then.

[@nolankuffner3573]

The big problem with Roman beating the streak.. He felt pushed down everyone's throats already. So, yeah. As a wannabe face, Roman would have been terrible. As a heel, absolutely. The thing about Brock winning? Not only does it solidify him as the Final Boss, but half of the fans go to shows BECAUSE Brock is there and half of them just like to boo him as a heel. I don't think Brock would be considered quite the 'be all, end all' without Suplex City or Breaking the Streak. And really.. we wouldn't have got John Cena being murdered without him breaking the streak 😂

[@JR-he6fn]

i think BIGGER hot take is "Aj styles in wwe is overrated" think about it, how many great matches has he had since coming to wwe? him and lesnar 2017 is probably the last one i can recall. but then he had lackluster matches against guys like joe, nakamura, rollins, aleister, orton, daniel bryan, kevin owens, and edge. like all those matchups on paper should all be at least 4 stars

[@RariShiesty]

Didn’t like Daniel Bryan until he was doing that eco friendly gimmick because the miz doing that talking smack against Bryan was what made me like the miz because i didn’t like Daniel Bryan because he took the belt of my guy Mark Henry when Mark Henry was doing his Hall Of Pain which is one of my favorite gimmicks of all time because Mark Henry would do what I would try to do in all the wrestling games and just hurt people and have them terrified

The Bloodline story is boring as hell and has been since Sami exited. It was boring before Sami and he revived it. Roman's entire reign has been lame as shit and he solely killed my interest in WWE. I'd take another 10 years of SuperCena over ever seeing Roman as champ again.

[@AdrianC0421]

What’s up. I’m the Sheamus should’ve beat the Streak Guy. Haha. Back when Undertaker first lost the Streak I was thinking “who should’ve beat him?” At the time in 2014. I looked at the roster and Sheamus stood out to me. The main reason is because Sheamus (obviously besides the IC Title) has won everything. From King of The Ring, Tag Titles, World Titles, Rumble & MITB’s. He’s never really had a bad match and has (I feel) been booked consistently. Much like Randy Orton, Sheamus is someone to me that can win the World Championship on any given day i’d be ok with it. Plus Sheamus has a move set that I can see just dominate the undertake, the brouge kick/Celtic cross. I just feel it. Sure Sheamus isn’t someone who’s been booked at the level of a Brock, Cena or Roman. Given the chance I’m sure he would’ve delivered big time just like how he is now. Like Dante said, Sheamus is a future Hall of Famer someone who’s truly earned it & if he’s someone who’s earned it then I don’t see why he couldn’t be someone who could legitimately beat Taker. He’s just someone that I can see beating him and given his achievements and consistency I don’t see why not. (:

[@nolankuffner3573]

But I will say this about the Streak (the Boneyard match was EXACTLY what Taker should have done): The fact it ended means everything else Taker has done (first Boiler Room Brawl, first Buried Alive, first Casket, first Hell in a Cell, the constant adapting and changing his style), all the moments and memories he's made, doesn't get completely overshadowed. Taker is WAYYY too good to be just 'The Streak'. (Oh, and on the side of the Miz.. he doesn't overly rely on catchphrases, which is something the Rock drops to #6 for me 🤷. Dusty Rhodes, Arn Anderson, MJF, the Miz, Punk, Stone Cold, Randy Savage, and Jake Roberts would be the rest of my top 10 wrestlers, not in that order though. Because Heyman is top 3, easily. But he's not a wrestler 🤷).

[@nolankuffner3573]

I've said it on other videos, but here's my take on the Rock vs Punk (and both him and Cena called the Rock out for promo notes and catchphrases): CM Punk cuts promos like he's Metallica in the 80s, some people love that shit and some people are indifferent. His backstage politics are like the band vs Napster. Like, he's still making bank, he just cares a bit too much about it. The Rock is like a Metallica concert today. You know EXACTLY what to expect. He plays all his greatest hits. He panders a bit more, and his backstage is now overbloated Hollywood films like Black Adam or Red Notice that aren't great. Or getting paid 50 million dollars for his new film. Like, Metallica probably makes more per show than they would playing 10 days back in 83 🙃

AJ, Okada, Tana and Bryan are the wrestlers of the last dacade imo Also Okada and AJ are the better wrestles ever for me, i have many favs with the both of then but being best are they two

[@revolutiontoevolution3127]

24:38 Why just men🤔. I think Trish Stratus, Alexa Bliss, AJ Lee, Becky Lynch, Stephanie McMahon, Carmella are Top in the mic too, even with the less opportunties they have compare to the men to talk.

No one should have takers streak but if someone had to it would have been cool to see bray do it then taker can hand bray the title of new creepy loved character amd retire there.

[@mayankshukla2056]

Do you think Bray would've been able to carry the WWE like Taker after seeing his recent gimmicks

[@kingsofwrestlingpicfed]

I agree with the triple h take. His best reigns with singles gold was when he was in a faction. Triple H as world champion would not be good without evolution. The two man power trip, DX, all of them had him hold singles gold, but I don't recall a time he was solo where he had a good run as a champion

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

Hogan slamming Andre is still the greatest moment in Mania history. I love Kofi and I love Bryan, but their stories went so far outside those Mania victories, meanwhile, Hogan slamming the 800 lb Andre in front of 30 million screaming Hulkamaniacs was a completely on Mania moment, brother.

[@rriggs6547]

Roman's matches are slow and boring. The last 5 to 10 minutes are all you need to see.

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

The interference endings to Roman's matches negate all the action that came before, no matter how good or bad that action was. Roman could be having a 5-star classic or a 1-star dud but none of that matters once the Usos or Solo run in and cost his opponent the match, unless that match involves Brock Lesnar flipping the ring with his tractor, making it the most memorable of all Roman's defenses.

Stone Cold three years on top was the best of all time in professional wrestling. John Cena's decade of being the guy doesn't even scratch the surface of Austin.

[@anthonycallaway4904]

@@pleaseshutup7053 it's a lot of people that think Cena is on the same level as Austin

Have to remember that Austin was at the top for 3 years, but he was around much longer as a solid mid-card guy.

[@dethincarnate1149]

Just recently listened to Never Gonna Stop from Rob Zombie, my hot take is that song is better than Metallingus but as far entrance songs, maybe not for Edge but if I had to pick one it's Zombie's song

[@Iamone1111]

Nexus could have been massive, Edge and Jericho both wanted the faction to go over and I'm sure in hindsight Cena probably thinks so too

[@KingJadInfiniteHope]

I don’t get why y’all think nexus would have been anything amazing. besides the ones who eventually did succeed (bray, daniel, & Barrett to an extent) the rest were AWFUL.

[@juicepouch1]

Yeah, I'd be curious to see what would've happened if Cena had been a company man vs nexus

[@bullworthless]

@@KingJadInfiniteHope The best way I can put it is Nexus are the superhero group at the beginning of Invicible, and Cena is Omniman. Their debut is one of the best debuts I've ever seen, and they deserved the chance to do something instead of get deleted by Cena.

[@rriggs6547]

I think Cena has admitted recently that the Nexus should have won.

[@fazzle1]

Nexus should have won at Summerslam and gotten a longer run, but eventually the lack of talent in that group would have been exposed and people would have turned on it pretty quickly.

[@Biting_bullets25]

Everybody acts like being good in the ring or being a good worker is about the moves you do but they forget its about the story telling in match the way they sell and how they hook on to the crowd i think Cody definitely one of the best at this so calling Cody boring is fair but u cant say the man is bad in the ring he is one of the best workers on the roster

[@gentimorina400]

I agree here. There are so many wrestlers (especially in AEW) that try to make these crazy moves to create a "5-star match" but end up botching them or just do them at the wrong time. In WWE, a regular frog splash can be so impactful. In AEW, it just happens at some point in the match and no one remembers it.

[@gebby09]

I think Seth should also be considered in the conversation for the best mic skills considering he was the voice of the shield and continued to cut fantastic promos as heel and face since then

[@goldygoldy2268]

Definitely agree, the inanimate object part with brock and heyman made me like him a lot more

[@Dave_ja_vu]

I don't think Seth did any more talking for the shield than Dean but I don't disagree with how good he is on the mic, I just wouldn't consider him the voice of the shield by himself

[@mr.iiconic]

Dean was the voice of the shield. He was their mouthpiece, described as such on everything from 2K to WWE.com. he did the callouts, he led the mission statement, Ambrose was the voice of the Shield and if you watch their old signature camcorder promos, Ambrose did 80% of the talking in those. Rollins would get a few lines, Reigns would get one, and it would be done. I've never even heard anyone suggest it could have been Seth until this comment.

[@jordankeen902]

[@TheeVector751]

While I disagree with Christian’s theme songs being better than Metalingus, imo it’s a fair opinion to have. Like I do believe Just Close Your Eyes is a top 3 theme song and the Evanescence instrumental track for his non-wwe theme is a fair discussion to have against Metalingus.

[@jacktease27]

I completely agree with the AJ Styles take Charlotte has the best in ring womens wrestler today. She just been stuck with the same gimmick that's been stale for at least 5 years and been stuck with some bad opponent's

[@jacktease27]

@@pleaseshutup7053 also true but its rare that WWE do big womens matches that don't focus around a title Becky vs Trish is the first time in a while that they done something like that

[@jacktease27]

Smackdowns womens devision seems to be 4 to 5 people who are just constantly wrestling each other and nobody else Charlotte, Asuka, Bianca, IYO and occasionally Bayley

[@_juicejames]

My hot take is Santino is the greatest comedic wrestler, followed by Kurt Angle, not R Truth.

[@_juicejames]

@@pleaseshutup7053 Kurt angle had some of the greatest comedy spots all time. Sexy Kurt, a man who loves to play with boys, cowboy Kurt, wig under the headgear Kurt, biker Kurt. Try again dog.

Truth is in a weird spot of being half comedic wrestler and half serious wrestler who was comedic outside of matches

[@ScoobySnacks7]

Are we forgetting people like Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada, in the 2010s??

[@TheMajorr86]

Number of title reigns does not directly relate to how good they are in that role. That just shows they are capable in the eyes of the company to hold their own, which HHH was. As mentioned, though, the moments that matter to the fans and are remembered favorably were when he was with a group.

[@RyanAcidhedzMurphy]

His early 2000s period isn't something I'd call a strong selling point either, one of the main reasons I stopped watching WWE then, and haven't watched it since, is HHH. I will go with Cornette on this one, HHH is not "the guy", he never had "it". He's a great worker to put with "the guy", but that isn't what put him on top, and deep down even the biggest HHH marks know that without his wife he would have never had the exposure he got.

[@MattHope13]

This is just me - my take is that Becky is a bit boring. She’s gotten stale imo. I much prefer Bayley, Chelsea Green, Asuka, etc. I think Becky needs to freshen up a bit

How did the Rock make Wrestlemania what it is when he wasn't in the first TWELVE WRESTLEMANIAS?

[@MrsWellner]

CM Punk is not overrated. He's a decent athlete. The only thing is I don't respect how they let him come back to WWE after the aggressive way he left.

[@seanhaxer5636]

1. 17:00, Punk is overrated because everyone overlooks how many times he's screwed people over with his piss poor attitude, and then call it amazing character work. Nah, Punk is a guy who needed to get his clock cleaned in his youth and never did. Hence why he shut his mouth for a while after UFC. 2. Streak never should've ended, nobody who was the Ordained Star of the company deserved it. Had Roman done it during the Booman Reigns era instead of Brock, nobody would give him time of day for anything. He'd be booed & heckled endlessly like Hebner was/is for Montreal. 3. Despite two retirements, HBK is better than AJ, he's a total package. AJ is his second but not by much at all. It'd be unquestionable if HBK didn't have that four year retirement. Came out for DX vs BoD in Saudi a few years back and carried that match like it was 1996-Feb 1997 WWF. Angle is up there too for his incredible rookie year, hell he put himself through personally during the Perc Angle phase, and travelled the world doing his business with classic after classic. Top 3 is definitely HBK, AJ, & Angle.

[@biig_silva]

Brock didn't need the Win over Taker, let's be honest. Roman, Bray, Finn would've capitalized on it 🤞🏾 Also... AJ Styles is, for me, the Best Wrestler of the 2010s. He had Bangers on the Four major Wrestling Companies in the World during this time 🔥
