The thing that struck me, having watched every WWE show from 95 to 2000 this latest year, is how much air time and mic time hardcore holly inexplicably got

[@Hains22]

“This is Your Life” segment was a rare lightning in a bottle moments that you just had to be there for. I remember watching it live and laughing my tail off.

[@heisensaul5538]

I remember the first time I saw it and thought it was the funniest thing ever. However, on his podcast, Bruce Prichard says this segment was one of the most angry he'd ever been at talent. It was only susposed to go like 8 minutes and ended up going like 25 or something like that and he was furious about how long it ran on tv and what they had to scramble to cut. He was pissed at The Rock, he was pissed at Mick Foley, and he was pissed at Vince Russo.

[@Ambassador_in_Chains]

There was also the Half Time Heat title change, so that would be 6 on free TV

[@PBBoogie99]

I disagree with the McMahon title run opinion. Stone Cold putting Vince on for the count was the biggest f*** you that Stone Cold could give HHH. It was sheer humiliation. Vince did the right thing by giving it up. He got his revenge, now on to the next champ.

[@WillBeyman-eh1ue]

Big Show With Paul Heyman Was 🔥🔥

[@lexiejames3514]

Been watching reliving the war every week and it only really starting getting better when HHH turned biggest heel and Stephanie joined him. Obviously that’s just opinion but even now I remember being 10 and absolutely despising both of them. That says a lot that I remember that 25 years later!

[@jjbjjb273]

Wrestling bios reliving the war series

[@JimNedCreek]

That Paddy does a good job, Potatoes for him.

[@augustuswayne9676]

I'm watching the Wrestling Bios channel every Thursday for the Monday night wars . It's a must see !

[@FunkSwaggMusiK]

October 1998 to March 22 1999 is imo the best era of raw

[@danishhald]

Watching this further I can’t stand how much Vince was on TV. His Mr. McMahon heel character is one of the best.

[@larrywade166]

My favorite big show moment was when he said "it's biggin time" and walked out the arena

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

You should've mentioned how they didn't book Ken Shamrock right before he left

[@johnalbent]

3:07 Big Show returning at the 2001 Royal Rumble...could have built him as a monster following that. Ah well!

[@AFMountaineer2000]

My favorite Big Show moment was when he climbed a ladder and did a shooting star press onto Rey Mysterio. It's on KZbin if you don't remember it

[@feezy243]

Oh yeah I remember, it was at Wrestlemania!

[@ufcfan890]

the greatest year in pro wrestling history,people say 2000 but austin was gone most of the year and they started toning the product down in 2000 so it's gotta be 1999

[@criminalmindsgirl2936]

Wasn't Stephanie pretending to be drugged so she could marry Triple H? It wasn't like in storyline he actually druuged her

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

1:41 Vince wasn't the planned Higher Power.....how do you not know that?

[@cliffordjackson3]

In my opinion wwe scrapping plans to have christopher daniels as the higher power instead of vince is a big what If since I think daniels could of have a good and solid run with the wwe. But hey at least it gave us one of jim ross’s legendary calls of “ah son of a B” and led to stone cold being the commissioner of raw for a few weeks.

[@wikkiddeathlord7372]

​@@cliffordjackson3I agree with everything you just said Clifford. I think WWE messed up not giving Christopher Daniels a WWE run

[@billythekid22220]

@@wikkiddeathlord7372ahahahahahahahahahahahah. If it were Christopher Daniel’s people would be like “whooooooooo???” Ahahahahaha you marks are hilarious

[@wikkiddeathlord7372]

@@billythekid22220 I didn't mean having Christopher Daniels be the hire power, I just meant by giving him a run in the company, shit they could've made him in their image. Learn to read before you reply to someone 😂

[@billythekid22220]

@@wikkiddeathlord7372 hahaha we’re literally talking about the higher power story so of course I thought that’s what you were talking about lol

[@oshikuru09]

I have a few favorite big show moments. When he chokeslammed JBL through the ring, and when Kurt shot him with a tranquilizer, Eddie tricking him into him his burrito.

[@thetruthhurtsALLTHETIME]

7:49. He gave the reason why and even said it during his promo when vacating the title. Sounds like you're just attempting to sound cool shitting on something.

[@Siciliancivilian]

"attempting to sound cool" sums up 95 percent of this channel

[@thefuturist8864]

I remember loving Raw in 1999, as well as the PPVs. The Rock and Mankind had been added to the main event scene, and HHH would join them later in the year. They did a good job of taking the weight from Austin’s shoulders. It’s easy to take something that happened 25 years ago and make out that it’s not as good as we remember, but the thing is: it was. It was as good as we remember, because we remember how much we loved it then. Also (and this seems to be said an awful lot these days) we ought not to expect the past to sit comfortably with the values of today. The 90s were a very different era, and there wasn’t a single person watching WWF in that decade wondering ‘but will someone in 2024 feel the same way?’. Presentism is lazy.

[@Bossman22211]

To be fair, they were in a real war. I know a lot of you guys don’t understand what a real war is. WCW literally died less than 2 years later. So every week is was a risk taking to take out the competition. Again nobody was looking for that high flying nonsense. We’re here for entertainment

[@aliengranpa]

The main thing you realize is all the red flags we SHOULD HAVE noticed concerning Vince.

[@jeffro9252]

So this is basically a list of things you don’t like from 1999, and a chance to try and shit on the attitude era. Nothing will ever top the attitude era, you all need to accept that fact and move on.

[@JJeffer2020]

Well yeah Nothing will ever top it but wouldn’t you want today’s era to be improving more towards that kind of era and make wwe better right now? Cuz if I’m watching a tv show I would want it to get better

[@Kobe24brady12]

It’s so cool to hate the Attitude Era nowadays

[@thesegafan4472]

And this channel and era as a whole will be forgotten

[@thesegafan4472]

This whatculture channel and era and wrestlers will be forgotten

[@thesegafan4472]

Why is it cool because deep down they have an inferiority complex

[@ztm999]

We’re not doing the whole, “Jericho’s debut promo wasn’t actually good!” thing. It was an encapsulation of what his character was supposed to be, and it is better in hindsight because all of the criticisms he had for the show being boring ended up becoming true for many years.

[@MikeD974]

The Triple H marrying Stephanie was great was so over the top it was funny

[@BigMike_HD]

I remember watching wwf in 1999 with my dad. While I didn’t understand everything. I enjoyed it at the time. Recently went back to watch. Good lord a lot of this sucked

[@LorcanaControl]

So u weren't actually watching as steph and hunter say they staged all that to get the company from vince

[@julesrules7297]

Cool series

[@Wurzelknecht]

Wait, since WHEN was Triple H treated as a babyface for marrying Steph? It made him the biggest heel in the company and effectively turned Vince babyface. Also they later retconned the Vegas marriage into Steph having been in on it from the start to get back at her dad for staging the black wedding with the Undertaker.

[@danishhald]

The Higher Power reveal did suck! What BS!

[@brandonwaggoner4247]

I'll call Whatculture Wrestling out on something Big Show did cool in '99. Survivor Series '99 he kick all his tag team partners a$$es before the classic Survivor Series tag team match. WON! THEN WENT ON TO MAIN EVENT THE PPV! Question how did that triple threat end? I mean he literally just defeated 5 men by himself, and was injected into the main event. I mean defeating 7 men in 1 night isn't cool in '99? My mistake. He won right?

[@iamsantaaa]

Had 10 chances to mention how over Ken Shamrock was and you failed. He should have won the wwe championship

[@Kobe24brady12]

Well if #1 is true Smackdown wouldn’t still be around.

[@King_Cova]

Wwf was just brilliant during the attitude era no era comes close

[@scottmccurdy6493]

No one has ever pretended the Higher Power reveal was good. Stop making stuff up. We've all known it was crap since day one.

[@multiyapples]

Honestly, 1999 seems to have a very weird booking style.

[@billythekid22220]

Just came back to see how our resident marks are doing 😂😂🤡

[@DamonSlater]

Loads of bollocks. The ministry taker angle kept me hooked. The ending was dumb, but the weeks leading up to it had every one watching. Stoped watching there because the poster is dumb af. Unsubd.

[@Cyklopz007]

Ditch the generic stock photos and videos. I don't need an example of counting on one hand or what laughing looks like.

[@Kobe24brady12]

Stephanie faked being drugged.

[@FunkSwaggMusiK]

Triple H drugging Steph isnt akward cause of what he did. It was cause the acting was horrible 😭

[@adamdolatowski409]

Does anyone else find it weird companies like what culture and others stop putting up BLM in their videos almost like it was a publicity stunt and didn't care.
