Still can't get over what Vince did to Kofi. Absolutely foul to make him go out like that.
Agreed.
It’s hilarious that Harambe got publicly EMBARRASSED 😂😂😂😂😂
It was great
@@HARAMBEAKAGEORGEFLOYD ikk you trolling but why lol😂
Everytime I hear “wwe did this to a talent” or did this to Kofi all I can think of is no Vince did that to kofi and every other wrestler he lost faith in.
Kofi Kingston losing to Brock Lesnar in 8 seconds still made no sense
fr
Totally. He never got a rematch either
😢 I agree 💯 percent
@@AllThingsInfamous1
I think literally all of Brock's Victims got that treatment. One loss. No rematch.
Always a Classic Vince Movement,Thank god He's gone
Kofi didn't even need to be champion for a crazy long time but the fact that he was discarded so quickly was just depressing. Especially for people that have followed his career for so long.
It happens in sports all the time. Dan Marino never won a superbowl and was more beloved than Kingston.
No one cares about him
@@mariomm9080 well he was beloved enough to be featured in Ace Ventura Pet Detective in the 90s and a hero to millions for his performances not because he was booked to win or his favourable 23 & Me results.
Treated him like a jobber after the putting the belt on him
Wwe: “ ok you’re going to lose really bad”
Also wwe: “wow you suck, i can’t believe you lost so badly”
😂😂😂
Kofi getting squashed was so stupid. He still has never gotten revenge on Lesnar for that loss.
What do you expect? Lesnar is way more of a top guy than Kingston.
Seth=Kingston
Miz=Kingston
Corbin=Kingston
Theory=Kingston
Orton>Kingston
Roman>Kingston(and I hate Roman😂)
Lesnar>Kingston
Goldberg>Kingston
@@theultra1167 that's...not the issue, the issue is they basically threw him out once he got his precious win(presumably because they wanted him to shut up and know his place...and by they I mean creative)
Great choice
@@theultra1167that’s not the point and stop acting like u don’t see what’s going on, kofi and broc could of had a good match Vince just got a fetish for big wrestlers preferably Caucasian
I know right they should have an MMA match between kofi and Lesnar for mania ... That will show everyone of the haters kofi can hang with Brock! 😒
They didn’t lose faith in Kofi. They never had faith in him to begin with. This is why I don’t like the fact they no longer do title rematches.
He’s the worst member of the new day, the others are world champ material he never should’ve won that title the only reason he did was because of Daniel Bryan
He was the token black champ 😂
But in that case they could just as well have pushed somebody who they had faith in or at least thought of as somebody with potential for the future. This way they just made clear that everybody watching his title run and rooting for him wasted their time.
That is also why I don't mind that there was no rematch. They already made clear they are looking at Kofi as a midcarder who is doing tagteam matches. There is no reason for me watching a rematch that will just end the same way.
blame Orton
Kofi getting squashed in 8 seconds was “stupid stupid stupid”
Not really, Kofi is a jabrony
It was great
Kofi blows, skinny and weak and never should have even held the title. It was fantastic to see him squashed accordingly. Lesnar would murder him just like that in a real fight.
@@Skazellinou look too old to be this stupid
@@SkazellinoI bet he’s stronger than you. Professional athlete vs some random dude on the internet. “It was fantastic to see him squashed accordingly”. Feel a little movement in your pants, did ya?
I noticed that Vince just brought wcw wrestlers to bury them all
Unless you’re like Goldberg and booker T ( which took a while )
@@jimmyfogelbachor Rey, Eddie, Chris Jericho, and Chris Benoit
@@eddywashere3391 nah they weren’t brought in when wwe bought wcw. They were free agents from before and after the purchase. Goldberg was a exception due to the contract turner still had that wwe didn’t wanna purchase
Mabel was reckless worker that he almost ended Undertaker's career
Yep. Disliked the character of ' Mabel' alot. ✌️
Yup, his "King Mabel" stink..(oops, I meant stint lol! 🤭😝😆) was worse, and even his repackaging as Viscera/Big Daddy V was awful as well! 🤦
I'm assuming he didn't smell too Rosie to the guys he worked with...@@simplysteve68
Nah bro viscera ministry version was cool af @simplysteve68
Kofi's squash was GD ridiculous 😢
It’s ridiculous to think he would last even a minute in real life so made perfect sense to me 😂
@@qbcomicaddict2590these guys would think that lovable characters like Scotty 2 Hotty for instance shouldn’t be squashed against some freak like Brock.
DDP was badly wasted in WWF
DDP is charismatic and talented. Don't know why they didn't just do the normal classic face vs. heel and not involve a weird stalker storyline.
The greatest People's Champ along with Sting and The Rock!
Vince’s fetish
Ricochet Losing to Brock Lesner & then getting squashed by Riddick Moss in a 24/7 Title match. Talk about hitting Rock Bottom.
Awesome upload,as always! Thank You.👍🤗✌️
Thank you WL for all of your consistent content. 🙌🏼
They never had faith in Kofi. They just wanted pr.
Agree
WWE didn't "lose faith" in Kofi; they never had faith in him to begin with.
Vince had a reputation for punishing superstars for organically getting over on their own when they weren't the ones he had decided would get over. Kofi-Mania was a purely fan-driven movement, one that the WWE couldn't ignore anymore. So they gave him the title to placate fans, but Vince isn't one to let go of a grudge. Kofi's reign was middling at best, and the moment Vince had the chance to punish him by being humiliated by Brock, he took it.
Vince McMahon was so out of his mind for a while but especially in his final years. So glad he’s finally gone
Let's be clear, WWE lost faith in Kofi. The fans did not. That was some peak Vince Mcmahon garbage.
10. We all knew Kofi was gonna lose, but it was the way he was booked to lose that was upsetting.
9. It was backstage politics that kind of ruined his push.
8. That sucked.
7. Just 2 bad matches (more particularly his match against Triple H from 2003), derailed his push.
6. No comment
5. Vince had no reason to have gave up on Dolph going after the World Championship. He just wanted an excuse to stop his push.
4. Backstage politics and him vs Undertaker is what ruined his run in WWE.
3. Not really his fault, but Vince trying to make him a different person when everyone in the world knows that he’s Albert was never gonna work. Should’ve just returned him as Albert.
2. Well he did win the United States Championship at Wrestlemania 34, but lost it a week later. (Making that entire win pointless).
1. Definitely agree. While this wasn’t Theory’s fault, he was overpushed by Vince and was put in a position he just wasn’t ready for. (Not to mention having the worst Money in the Bank cash in of all time, and getting buried by John Cena made it worse for him).
I remember watching it live. Steiner was incredibly stiff in 2002. His body looked over the hill compared to how he was in his Prime on Nitro. Nitro Steiner was a beast.
Let's hope his nephew has the wwe career he wasn't able to
He beat Cena at mania??
8. “Who is Drew Curry?”
Not gonna read all that
You probably don’t know how to. You can only understand stuff if it’s made as a TikTok
I feel like there are more people who belong on this list. You could do volumes. Here are some names:
1. Earthquake - top heel, 'put hogan on the shelf', tag team champ with Typhoon, phased out then brought back as Golga under a mask with a jobber group.
2. Mr Perfect Curt Henig - name says it all. was undefeated, won intercontinental title, fed to hogan then the warrior as a top WWF title contender then never bounced back after those losses.
3. Ravishing Rick Rude - IC champ was one of UWs primary threats when UW became WWF champ. Was defeated by UW and then slowly phased out. Returned as a bodyguard to DX before jumping to WCW. Was the only man in history to be featured on Raw and Nitro on the same night due to RAW being pre-taped.
4. Booker T- multiple time WCW champ. Most decorated black male athlete in history. Awarded the KotR after winning tournament. Fed to HHH, never really bounced back, joined the nWo but was literally kicked out by HBK, phased out and is now on commentary.
5. Bob Backlund (90s return) - one of the longest reigning WWF champs, came back won the WWF title again but then lost it within seconds to Kevin Nash as Diesel. Was given a crazy old man gimmick, never won the title or was a contender again, just entertainment until phase out.
6. Lex Luger- arrived as the narcissist, similar to Mr. Perfect with win streak, repackaged as the All American, there was video of him being announced as the WWF champion presumably was supposed to win the title, but plans changed that phased him out of WWF title pic. Placed in tag bracket with another phased out British Bulldog. Despite being the second WCW Triple Crown Champion in WCW, he never won gold in WWF. Phased out of WWF and returned to WCW and repackaged again in WCW.
I can do this all day but idk if anyone is even reading this.
D'LO Brown would've been solid mid carder
Great list...sad that Kofi is on the list. He should have reigned longer.
He had the belt for 6 months and his reign was getting stale. It was time for him to drop the title.
He won the title just because he is black
Lol. I was at that 20th anniversary Smackdown. Everyone was stunned when Kofi lost like that. Lol.
That was the last full Smackdown watched ha
Vince never had faith in DDP. That feud with the Undertaker was his introduction to the WWE.
Never forget Kofi getting squashed by Brock. Dark times man
they did kofi dirty bro
Wouldn't be surprised if the huge Austin Theory push had something to do with the Vince scandal
Damn you can see in Taz face as he was coming down the ramp how that royal rumble spot was gonna go down
Scott Steiner had drop foot syndrome
They why didn’t they postpone the match?
That thumbnail is super perfect for this video and its really sad how it happened 😢. You can even tell by Kofi's face he hated this
Dolph could’ve been a legend in Wwe as world champion
And they did Sting wrong losing at wrestlemaina 31 they just wanted to bury the last wcw star . They already did Goldberg and booker t. And all 3 of them lost to te one and only triple h😑😒💯
AEW at least booked Stings retirement way better and respectful
9:19 *The Dumbest Cash In in WWE History*
Remember when they had Charlotte take the title off asuka 2 weeks ahead of WRESTLEMANIA now that's when it was getting ridiculous
Well because she's a FLAIR. This is rude but glad she's still out and more importantly Vince got out
@@saratoga4126somehow she’s no FLAIR at all because vince made her as Lesnar Goldberg Cena Reigns combined just like Becky Lynch. Bayley is the opposite because she always putting over like AJ Lee.
If Vince McMahon didn't see Dolph Ziggler as a World champion then why in the hell would he book him to win the Money in the bank 🤨 and cash in on Del Rio
Most of the WWE universe will watch WWE no matter how bad it gets or whatever scandal there involved in 🤦♂️
Facts
Step 1 : John cena Destroys you in the mic
Step 2 : Cena let you destroy him
Step 3 : you destroy yourself
I met tazz in the late 90s at the mall here in Philly..
Tazz was injury prone at that time
Exactly..I wanted him to go to the top but unfortunately not more than a sniff
he's too short
You know I think Theory is doing some pretty great work tagging with Waller. He's always been fun to watch and the energy between them and whoever they feud with has been great.
100% correct when you said not even WWE can destroy the genuine connection the fans have with Kofi. Brock beating Kofi in 8 seconds will never not be dumb as hell. I don't understand why couldn't they just have put on a great match?
Also i feel so bad for DDP. The complete and utter disrespect is insane. That god awful stalker gimmick.
After watching Diamond Dallas page his debut in the WWE back in 2001 they really did him dirty and the fact is watching and getting pin by the undertaker’s ex-wife Sarah that was so embarrassing. Fun fact that match took place after Summerslam when he and Kanyon lost the tag team championship to Taker and Kane.
I hated that, I wish dDP had just stayed home and collected his Turner Money…
@@andu1854 I know right
Here's my list
10. DDP VS Sara
9. Dolph Ziggler Looses The World Heavyweight Championship
8. Tensai Looses To Tyson Kidd
7. Scott Steiner Wrestlemania 19 Absence
6. Mabel's Loosing Streak
5. Austin Theory's Cash-In
4. Jinder Mahal At The 2018 Royal Rumble
3. Tazz At The 2001 Royal Rumble
2. Lex Luger At Wrestlemania 11
1. Zack Ryder's 2012 Ultimate Burial
I wanna see “Exact Moment AEW Lost Faith In Their Top Superstar”
Making ziggler lose to Alberto was a burial. Alberto was boring after a while
The Kofi Kingston one makes me mad, but the Austin Theory one honestly makes me laugh so hard with the joke they've turned him into
I didn't have an issue with Kofi losing, but the issue like everyone is saying, is the way he lost. He didnt mind losing at all. He just wanted a back and forth match and even have moments where it looked like Kofi might pull a shocking upset over Brock. But no. Since Vince didnt think of it, it wasnt going to happen
the kofi kingston one is still crazy
Austin Theory already got wasted . Don't be surprised if he is getting future endeavour
Eventually you'll see Theory and Grayson Waller split up. If you don't see Theory vs Waller at WrestleMania, look for it at Backlash.
#1 Lars Sullivan is discovered to have had a movie career
That kofi squash still has me sick to my stomach
They did my guy ddp so wrong!!!! BANG! 👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿👐🏿
Christian’s 5 day reign as World Heavy Weight champion should also be included
You mean 2 days?
@@chadkennedy7855 don’t make it sadder than it already is man 😭
should do like a top championship reigns typa video don’t matter which title as long as you remember it being a good run
I can’t believe how trolly CZcams’s ads were just now.
Tazz’ “10 seconds” had two 5-second ads just after it - just about the length of his Rumble appearance.
Very true
3:15 The disrespect was real...
I feel bad for the new day as Brock Lesnar squashed both Kofi and Big E for their respective titles in 2019 and 2021. The WWE did not seem to have faith in either superstar.
If I knew I was gonna be booked in the Rumble for only 10 seconds, I would have climbed in over the top rope and then turned right around and climbed back out.
McMahon not seeing DOLPH ZIGGLER as a main event, world title holding talent will never sit right with me. The guy held back the business and deprived fans and talent of many brilliant matches and moments bc of his stupidity and lack of foresight
Seeing Kofi getting squashed still hurts to this day. 💯
Loved that Lesnar showed how big of a joke "kofimania" really was
Ok… it’s pro wrestling dude, if it was real, Shayna Bazler would be champion of the women’s division and be undefeated
They did DDP dirty!😤😤
The writers and content leaders have to take most of the blame for the inconsistency in the momentum of wrestlers,, the characters they play, their finishing moves, and weather they win or lose a match. Some wrestlers get a push and fail while others like Chad Gable never even get the chance to become a champion even though he is a great wrestler, good on the mic, and the fans want to see him become one. His loss to Sammy Zahn on RAW this past week was an example of this hypocrisy and was a disgrace to real, legitimate technical wrestlers out there .
Kofi bumped head first on that F5 never noticed that! Looked nasty.
Ending of Kofi's overhyped title ride was funny and correct.
Austin Theory is no longer a theory - he's a hypothesis. An unsubstantiated claim.
I remember watching the smackdown where Kofi lost to Brock. I remember going into the kitchen to get food then when I got back Brock had already won
1995-'96 was a BAD YEAR for The World Wrestling Federation and Mabel's booking was even worse.
To be fair though. Kofi Kingston's WWE Championship run was like Hangman Adam Page's run as AEW Champion. Great build up, lackluster run as champion. Same can probably be said about Rhodes if they decide to make Cody champion at this years Mania
I bet Cody wins, and then turns heel later. Maybe Summerslam.
Vince, almost to a man, never elevated anyone who wrestled with WCW. He felt a loyalty to The Undertaker (the former Mean Mark Callous) and Steve Austin because they jumped ship and stayed with him. But Mick Foley even had to sell himself to Vince as a talent.
Vince is super petty and he is the reason the Invasion Angle was terrible and a huge list of money
@@andu1854 and he only hurt himself long term by being so dismissive of WCW talent. He had an opportunity to roll out a welcome mat and kind of show Eric Bischoff and Ted Turner what to do with their former employees. And instead, Vince whiffed on that, badly.
I still remember the moment Dolph cashed in that belt. Screwing up that momentum is Vince at his finest.
Taz had the perfect gimmick of someone who could knock out bigger guys.
Whenever I watch Charlie and The Chocolate Factory I get to see Taz
That is a brutal business
Why I feel like you drop the same video sometimes😂
Read somewhere for Tazz, people were not willing to work with Tazz after his first match as his style was deem "dangerous/reckless". Not sure if its true.
Steiner's Big Booty Daddy tag was ridiculous. DDP motivation speaker was good. A wrestler would get his butt kicked; that's not a bad thing...😅😅
Man I loved dolph man need one more run
Toooooo late for that white boy
@@schnnellbell3310 😂
Tazz was a dangerous worker in WWF/E
I feel bad for A-Train.. the one time fans remembering a past start hurting their current run.
Austin Theory and Kofi Kingston are the only guys that are still pretty solid. Lets not forget Kofi is still a 6 time tag champion and Theory is on the way to becoming a top star and saved Randy Orton and his back a couple weeks ago.
Theory is great and it’s sad how they couldn’t find a way to elevate him after his rebrand with Waller.
mcmahon firing mabel after he was the one pushing im despite all the red flags
At least Theory still has time to rise to the top of the card he’s only 26 and he is amazing in the ring and is very well liked by other wrestlers I hope he gets a proper world title run some years in the future
What they did to Taz and DDP, was criminal!
Austin Theory is something man!
Kofi deserved better than loosing a 7 second squash match
The Kingston Lesnar title match being on Smackdown was the first insult. The second being it lasting 8 seconds and the third was Kingston losing after 1 F5 lol.
The only thing i hate about everything that's happening to Vincent is that all the wrestlers he's done dirty are not here to see it.
I still theory is a future wwe champion he would get absolute major heat.
2:54 I hated WWE for making him do this gimmick...
They haven't given up on Theory, they just don't what to do with him but they will.
I felt for all the WCW wrestler, Vince wanted to prove he was bigger then WCW and buried most of their stars.
Imo, sometimes being predictable is great when you invest with the story and booking. If ur complaining about predictability, just look at bray wyatt vs seth rollins at hiac, even Kofi vs Brock, it's unpredictable but they just outright insulting their fans...
I agree wwe did kofi dirty by making him lose in 7 seconds at least give me a decent 5 minute match.... but it was also fox wanted a big name to be the face of smackdown once they got the smackdown contract and at the time they wanted it to be brock so vince had no choice
then Brock just decided to be on Raw a month later 😂😂😂😂
I feel like Dolph Ziggler is going to get reinvented just like Cody and will make a big return to WWE Marking as a top Tier star.
Still it hurts to see DZ go down from a class Superstar to a Jobber😢
But the issue you forget that Cody left wwe at 28 to get better and return not old....Dolph is over 40 already
To be fair as much as I like the new day they have been a comedy stable for a long time. A comedy wrestler as champ that much smaller than everyone else wasn't going to be anything else.
Release me was a bad move
Theory beating cena was the problem. Never make a heel win against a legendary babyface of that star power.
Dude said DDP was pinned by a "non wrestler" and not a 90lb female. LMFAO
