Times WWE Actually Explained A Wrestler's Change In Character

[@thetruej7872]

Boneyard Undertaker was really cool to see. It was a hybrid of The Phenom & The American Badass. When he brought back the motorcycle for the Boneyard Match, it brought back memories.

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@KevinBelmontLuna]

AJ summoned the Final Boss, Undertaker's final Form!

[@cliffordjackson3]

Boneyard taker

[@badjokecoke]

The OG final boss before The Rock 👀

[@mattrobinson828]

At WM40 before slamming Rock, Taker should have said “I’m the real Final Boss”. People wanted Stone Cold which would have been cool but Taker being the one to put Rock in his place made sense seeing as he was the locker room leader

[@Halledoo]

@@badjokecoke The Rock is the final boss....... the Undertaker is THE boss

[@zanethind]

Yeah

[@Ultimabendessen]

HHH was like, "No. Please. I can't take it anymore. I will fight you at Wrestelemania! Just, no more. No more of the self hair cutting." Maybe Undertaker used a Flowbee in front of HHH, to scare him even more.

[@kevinbogdan9301]

I've always thought that The Undertaker with long hair was his best look. It helped make him look younger. Never liked his bald look

[@deepblue8143]

Same, he didn't look good at all when he went with the bald look.

[@CharlesHitmanStone]

I hate this new shaved sides Mohawk ponytail look

[@oscaralegre3683]

the same with triple H. He looks horrible bald😂

[@I-R_kratos]

Bald = old edit: except stone cold

[@squiddwizzard8850]

"Holy Trinity, American Badass, Deadman, and Mark Callaway" Big Evil: am I a joke to you?

[@nakazatelen141]

Its basically American Badass 2.0

[@adityageorge8444]

0:52-0:53 Timing on point

[@KyleRivera-gt2tb]

Seeing 2020 wwe performance center with undertaker looked a bit depressing like having to sell in an empty center and seeing taker combining deadman and American badass was cool watching

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS.

[@edgaro9660]

It was also his last run with the business so it was a bit sad to see that

[@KyleRivera-gt2tb]

2008 Jericho gotta be his best run even better than his AEW le champion run

[@wildae.]

you just made THE LIST !!!

[@liluzivert6061]

Idk

[@CarlosCruz-ox9wc]

Kane shouldve never taken the mask off

[@spirritualchannel8614]

As I know, it was his own decision. He had a problem with a skin on his face due to the mask. It was too hard for him to continue shows in the mask

[@elvisagbongiague330]

Undertaker is the closest thing to a final boss not the Rock.

[@chrisxavier3147]

Undertaker revealing his new hairdo was chill worthy, and as an aside it was one of his best Mania matches imo

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Undertaker shaved his head for WM 28 was amazing

[@IDontKnowWhatToNameThis]

Not be wilding on Wrestlamia today, hope this gets fixed

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Undertaker retired as American Badass character is perfect moment

[@rosieroti4063]

No

[@grantpalmer8818]

I still remember my mom gasping when she saw the undertaker remove his hood and his head was shaved. It was also the first ppv event I ever got to see so I was shocked too

[@joshharhut9948]

NGL The Unholy Trinity is my favorite version of Undertaker since it combines The Deadman, The American Badass and his real life side. He fights as The American Badass/Mark Calloway but if he feels like he needs to he can resort to his Deadman persona mid match and it keeps the mystique of the character alive and or enhances the mystique a bit more

[@neighslayer768]

Honorable mention to Festus, who went to rehab for being overmedicated and became CM Punk's biker muscle, Luke Gallows.

[@brianform5572]

As always great WRESTLING CONTENT 😎

[@PokedexRevival]

I watched Jericho all the time back then in 2008 to 2010. He was my favorite and he was so amazing!!! He is still amazing but his character back then was sooooo good!!!

[@kenterminateddq5311]

I would like Wrestlelamia or any channel to make a video on how The Ringmaster evolved or changed into Stone Cold Steve Austin.

[@rondesjardins-j1l]

it wasn't WWE who gave Austin the idea of "stone cold" it was his wife at the time. One day when Steve was pondering on what gimmick would work for him, his wife served him a cup of tea to help him relax. way later when she returned to him ,she noticed he only drank some of the tea at which point she told him that he should drink his cup of tea before it got "Stone Cold". Suddenly a light bulb went off in his head and he started to repeat "Stone cold Steve Austin over and over again and it hit him like a ton of bricks, he now found his new gimmick. ."Stone Cold" Steve Austin ..True story

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Chris Jericho 2008 WWE run was underrated

[@KyleRivera-gt2tb]

Yea 2018 John cena was cold watching but I remember realizing looking huh jbl

[@thomascars1]

Speak English

[@KyleRivera-gt2tb]

@@thomascars1 I meant cool thanks to auto correct

[@0verplay3d]

Lets go. I got here within one minute of it being uploaded.

[@the78wildcat]

I still remember the vignettes and the article in WWF Magazine when "Chico" Santana made his transition to El Matador.

[@tomseville2345]

They DID explain many of those 80's/90's WWF gimmick changes with vignettes; Rick Martel becoming The Model, Jacques Rougeau becoming The Mountie, One Man Gang becomes Akeem to name three, but there were also many more gimmick changes that erased the former name/gimmick entirely. Only if they had worn masks/paint, or been gone for long enough, they were able to pretend they were brand new *Superstars!* 🤣🤣

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

John Cena needs to grew his longer hair lol

[@Walshy94]

0:52 I like how you synced that to where you and AJ both said takers real name at the same time

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Kane getting unmasked in 2003 was awful decision

[@rosieroti4063]

Yes

[@kasslounds]

i wouldn't say it is his unmasking in 2014 was worse

[@jodawa2504]

​@@kassloundsIf you're implying the night that Kane voluntarily unmasked in the ring during a promo with Stephanie McMahon, who was standing at the top of the Monday Night Raw stage, which was the beginning of the transformation for Kane from Masked Demon Kane to Director Of Operations Corporate Kane, that was in 2013, not 2014. To be exact, it was in October 2013. Otherwise, I don't know what 2014 unmasking that you're referencing.

[@jesseandrews2303]

When Deadnan Taker wore the ABA bandana, Paul Heyman's reaction was next level platinum. Oh My Gawwwwwd.

[@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324]

Would be funny if kane would wore green cuz of x-pac back in 98

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

RIP Paul Bearer

[@RojoCube]

I'll never change my opinions about this. The Tombstone for styles should've said "Here Lies Allen Jones" instead of AJ Styles

[@lukebaker5460]

Love the video!

[@zanethind]

Boneyard Undertaker was an amazing final form. I wish he wrestled with that version more honestly. Rip Deadman 😢

[@Pretty_Fly_on_a_White_Guy]

I wouldn’t exactly say Kane looked “normal” unmasked.

[@フリョゴメス]

1:18 shocked to see how much thinner paul heyman used to be...

[@Deadpool_64]

It’s always baffled me how he is always with all these guys who work out a lot, but seemingly doesn’t even try to get them to help him get into better shape. I’m sure Brock or Roman would have helped him.

[@tomseville2345]

Did you hear his breathing during his rant at KO on SmackDown? He sounded like a dying St Bernard; I hope he was just overselling his exasperation as part of the "New Bloodline" angle; because if not, he needs an oxygen mask and tank, like Dennis Hopper in Blue Velvet... 🤣🤣

[@gray913]

Suit Jericho was such an underrated heel gimmick

[@skrounst]

I always thought of Paul Bearer as a freshly deceased corpse, and that the Undertaker used his mystical powers to re-animate him. When the Undertaker fireballed him, it broke the curse. Then, when they reunited, Undertaker had Paul under his spell again... Keeping it kayfabe baby

[@MetalJT24]

Kane unmasking in 2003 will always be a bad idea.

[@tomseville2345]

Haircut = Change In Character! Also, Beanie = Bandana!

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Cesaro should've won WWE title

[@HarryChun-qr4ir]

Even though it was minor, what about when Roman reigns stopped wearing his colored contacts?

[@ABD-pc3jf]

Well, they also never explained his magically changing teeth either after he went home from being too scared of cov19. Guess he wasn't too scared to get dental work done.

[@HarryChun-qr4ir]

@@ABD-pc3jf really? Roman wasn't scared of COVID. His wife gave birth to twins and his immune system was compromised from his luekimia.

[@ABD-pc3jf]

@@HarryChun-qr4ir So you saying he was scared of getting cov and also scared of giving it to his family. Sure, it sounds like he was scared to me. And if he really was, which, by the way, I never said wasn't a valid excuse, then explain to me why he put his and his family's health at risk to get cosmetic dental work done while he was absent 🤔

[@HarryChun-qr4ir]

@@ABD-pc3jf I guess that is true. The dental work could have been private practice and they came to his house. He does look better with it though.

[@marcohavokkhaos]

I don't even remember Claudio with an eye patch. Probably because his run with Heyman was a bust.

[@troyrodriguez4718]

Cesaro..like real life Sagat from street fighter

[@GregHuffman1987]

how was 2008 jericho inspired by anton chigurr? I'm genuinely curious

[@patrickmilner4149]

I might be wrong, but I could have sworn I saw that Taker had cut his hair due to a cancer scare in early 2012

[@eddiedominguez1854]

I thought that too he cut it in 2011 shortly after wrestlemania 27 but taker explained in his Deadman documentary that he cut it due to him thinking it was his final match and retiring

[@tamzidmohsinkhan3333]

Mankind was top star in late 1990s

[@devanvieira9174]

A hybrid Undertaker is something we should have gotten right after the streak broke, he would have been to make his appearances in wrestle part-time without worrying about keeping the essence of the character, who's best matches were clearly behind him, instead we would have gotten better moments with Cena, Roman, and Brock, as he was always great on the mic as the ABA

[@omarpop8706]

Remember when ppl use to say that they replaced Paul bearer...or wast that just what my friends brother wanted to believe

[@sheepdavis]

0:20 the character was called the UNHOLY trinity

[@gtrour4]

Hopefully, (WWE) Creative - consider booking fans a war between featuring Tag Team Piper (⚒) & Open Season Nia Jax 🚷 vs Bianca (💪🏾)🏆 & Jade Cargill (💪🏾)🏆!

If you can't hear Paul Bearer when you see "Oh yeeeeah" are you even a wrestling fan?

[@lorenzopastorelli1114]

If i’m reading that, I think of Macho Man first and foremost.

[@John-bj1zx]

@@lorenzopastorelli1114 Macho Man was more "Ooooooh yeah" than "Oh yeeeeeah".

[@visceratrocar]

I always felt like there was something subtly but distinctly feminine about Jericho's colorful ring attire.

[@Cooljohn760]

Unmasked Kane was even better than masked Kane. Just not when he was corporate Kane.

[@williammoore1980]

Cena grew his hair out to hide his bald spot. You really have to dig more than you do.

[@96Thompson]

The thing with John Cena didn't need to be here. "He grew his hair out and looked older" .... Yeah cause he got older.

[@michaelburke7978]

If Kane's burns were all mental burns, then why did he have half a head of hair to begin with?

All I have to say about this entire clip is who cares why the wrestlers do what they do they have the right to and if people don't like it then don't watch the damn show bottom line I'm so tired of fans no matter what it is thinking they have the right to decide what a celebrity does or does not do with their body get a life
