"Edge would never wrestle again!"
Oh how a year can change things.
Yeah!
@I 8 well, in view of the fact that i commented on this video, in which they state edge will never wrestle again...i was probably referencing the year that has gone by between the posting of this video and Edge's return...not the time that has passed since his retirement.
Yup
Fred Laurence L
vStealz __ . Fail. Point was the part about Edge not wrestling anymore didn't age well.
the word "legend" is not enough to describe Jim Ross.
he deserves all the credit he gets and more
Vince should be ashamed of the way he treated him
GOAT commentator hands down
Agreed, JR needs to open his commentary school
@steve bills Much like WWE fanboys begging Reigns to get cancer
good commentator but he is shit when it comes to dealing with the talent
Rick Flair did achieve something great in half a minute and now we have Charlotte.
lol.
Fucking brilliant
Wooooooo
Genius
LeCoolFace Richard Morgan Fliehr* and it was a joke mate.
Owen Hart is still sorely missed. His mania opener and the summerslam cage match with Bret Hart are still 2 of the greatest matches WWE ever put on
i know. i still remember when owen beat bret at wrestlemania 10...the crowd reaction was priceless
Everyone (most people) talk about the lader match from WM 10. Yes. It was a good match and was historic. But let's not forget the curtain jerked match stole that show.
My first match I saw with Owen Hart wasn't him vs Bret at WrestleMania X but it was his match against X-Pac on Raw but after that I looked up alot of his matches and I cried after I found out he passed away at Over The Edge
@@burnthetrolls5971 a huge tragedy
I'd hope so, they're brothers. Jimmy and Jay falling out would put on much better matches :)
There was also Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. The Prime Time Players in 2012 - when Lawler had his heart attack.
Yeah I remembered that. They didnt show it but he did and he actually was in the ring on that show.
No he wasn’t. He was commenting ringside. And they have shown it
And then kane, Daniel Bryan and the prime time players seems to be going out of character out of concern for Jerry lawler
Was it the Miz that Jerry wrestled that night?
rhynouk1 he wrestled Ziggler earlier in the show... get your facts straight.
When Vince blew his both quads still the funniest /most iconic thing to happen.
Jim Ross doing a glorified house show after that sort of day shows what kind of a professional he was, is and always will be.
Stephen Crane L
The thing that's weird about that WCW match from Raw in July 2001 is that just a week later, Raw was in Atlanta, Georgia. You'd think if they truly wanted WCW to have the best chance as a subsidiary brand, they'd have launched it then and there.
Ever here Prichard's podcast? He acts like they didn't know, come on...
It's ironic that Edge's debut match and final match both resulted in neck injuries.
How ?
When edge debuted he injured someone’s neck
That’s not irony tho
Crazimo Yeah, that's just an unfortunate coincidence.
@@superlex611 edge done a outside dive and it ended up injuring another wrestlers neck who recieved the dive .
I actually got to watch Owen's last match ever before his passing. It was at a live show in Chicago and he was in his regular gimmick, not the Blue Blazer one teaming with Jeff Jarrett against Edge & Christian. It was a solid 10 minute match from what I remember with a comedic spot featuring Owen.
It's an absolute shame even 20 years later that he's no longer with us.
For me, I’ll never forget Eddie vs Mr Kennedy.
DoubleAIV it wasn't infamous
SNESLIVE yeah I never bought edge as a main eventer.
Yeah exactly i'll remember that, especially when mr. Kennedy keep hitting eddie in the head with a chair shots repeatedly after all these years i still can't believe many people wasn't mad at him about that because he could be #1 main reason why eddie died.
Yeah the Eddie vs Kennedy is famous for not just being a great match but there are rumors that particular match was the reason of Eddie passing. If you remember the after match Batista was chatting with a really exhausted Eddie. A lot of people stated that this match was finally the breaking point to Eddie's heart which was already weakened because his pass drug abuse.
It was the first wrestling match I've ever seen
I was honestly expecting Hardy vs Sting 2011
I AGREE!!!
It's watculture wwe, talking about TNA does not bait click
Conrado De Leon no it's not, it's called whatculture wrestling.
MyHeroMacadamiaNuts
Yea but I think he typed it because of the way what culture is always really high and mostly focus on WWE
This channel leeches WWE fame, its obvious that they will only talk about WWE, thats the only way they get their views
So, Basically if they got Bret treatment right after the match with Goldberg it could have saved his career.. Instead they put him in a hardcare match damaging him even more..
Nah, it just sounds like a regular WCW move.
To ve fair Bret was a little asshole and wanted to keep wrestling with a concussion
Not at all.
He was misdiagnosed, I think.
Actually, They knew he had multiple concussions and he told them he's not in good shape to wrestle for a while but they kept insisting that he was ok to keep going..
Eddie Guerrero vs Mr. Kennedy (Eddie's last match)
Team Hell No vs Prime Time Players (Jerry Lawler's heart attack)
Jeremy Williams I'd do the match he had with Ziggler instead.
He took many elbow drops to the chest in it. 😬
I still watch the main event from Wrestlemania 20 just to see Benoit be at the top against two of the best wrestlers.
A very significant match for alot of reasons
My favorite wrestling moment
I love that match though I'm die hard fan of hbk still that night I wanted Benoit to win. Best match ever for me !
Gnar69Gnar yeh...then remember how he murdered his wife and son...like a real scum bag piece of shit who is currently BURNING IN HELL.
@@jakepearl5569 he's not burning in Hell. He apologized before he died so Your god forgave him.
Elijah vs Default is my most memorable match.
Elijah vs Player001
Elijah Burke vs Chris Benoit
Elijah vs. Unknown
Elijah Burke vs. Air.
CHRIS BENOIT
7:48 & Paige?
Simon is what I need in my life. Positivity.
Proof that Paige started the Revolution because the Bellas were “dominating” on raw and fans were upset because they’re just divas, while Paige and Emma were truly talented and showed their potential in NXT but were being buried on the main roster
For a second there I thought Chris Benoit was fighting Lil Yachty
Aaron Moreno lmfao
Me too lol
Aaron Moreno lmao
Lmao me too
More like Master P, but im guessing hes a bit old for this crowd lol
According to Vince McMahon, Chris Benoit never wrestled for WWE or he even didn't exist in this world
Yes let it be like that
And if anyone who works for WWE says differently, they will be fired from WWE on the spot and blacklisted from the Wrestling/Sports Entertainment industry permanently. If anyone in Wrestling/Sports Entertainment outside of WWE said differently, they never would work for WWE in the future, ever.
At least that's what it was in the days immediately after the deaths. Not so much now
@pineapplesocklad krispen wah!
Honestly, he doesn't deserve the recognition after what he did. I don't think Vince overreacted there.
Jeremy Nunya the whole story makes it more sad tho. He suffered so many injuries for the sport he loved that his brain state was the same as a 80 year old Alzheimer’s patient. Obviously it’s not any way a excuse but you gotta admit the way concussion used to be handled back in the day could’ve played a part in what happened that tragic day
Nothing more frightening than looking into Benoit's eyes during his match with Burke and when he came out to confront Punk at the last ECW show before Vengeance 07. That cold stare.
I was at the WWECW where Benoit wrestled his last match.
Proove it then noob
@@nismocash989 Take his word for it. What reason does he have to lie about that? Plus, phone camera quality was pixely that year.
@@nismocash989 you're acting like it's something impossible to go to a WWE event in your area. Not like he said he had drinks with Benoit after the event or something.
Error 404 vs Unidentified Search
Who got put over? The wiley, ageless veteran or the up & coming rookie phenom?
@@chunky9791 Drugs did! He got so over they had to take him out of the company
I’m going to be honest I thought you weren’t joking...
I was at the Benoit v. Burke match. 3 rows back. Gives me chills when I think about it.
Where's Eddie Guerrero's last match
I loved how Eddies last match was as Eddie as a match could get. Winning with the whole fake chair shot and blaming the opponent. I think they may even be the only time that tactic actually got him a win.
TheGoondas87 1) It worked before.
2) The ending is Kennedy hitting with said chair. Awkward.
And fact that he was scheduled to turn on BATISTA & win WORLD Title on SD! that week?
Benoit was to win ECW Belt and OWEN IC Title at PPV. CREEPY AS F***
@@jordand5616 and braun was meant to win the universal title, also died that night...
I had a feeling something was going to happen to Eddie that night too. He looked so out of it when Batista checked on him backstage.
Great category, great list. Maybe do a top 10 Sunday night heat, velocity, metal matches down the road.
AJ Mainiac Sunday night heat was and velocity I remember were pretty decent actually they had some pretty good storylines
Phil Kessel I agree
3:37 I was NEVER a big Jeff Jarrett fan but I always believed his side of the story that he did not ask for more money to perform, that all he wanted and got was a lump sum of the money that was already to be owed to him. After a PPV, wrestlers do not get paid "The next day", it can take months. So it wasn't just the No Mercy PPV but other prior PPVs that he had already performed on but yet hadn't yet gotten paid for yet. A lump sum for 4 or 5 PPV payouts is going to be a significant amount. This wasn't an Ultimate Warrior Summer Slam type incident.
4:47 To be somewhat fair, the WWE actually had a "rehearsal" match of these two at a house show prior to the Raw taping and from what I had heard, the match tore down the house. But for whatever reason, it just didn't work a couple of nights later on Raw. It is not uncommon for two performers to click one night and then stink up the joint another night. Unfortunately for the WWE, they stunk up the joint on a really bad night for the company, ruining the long term plans for WCW.
I agree with you
I believe Bruce Prichard has also confirmed that he only wanted what was owed on his contract. He wanted to make a clean break with the company because he knew he was going to WCW.
Being the son of a booker who had screwed people on the past, he just wanted to avoid any 'issues' that may delay his paycheck
Look at Chris' eyes when he was staring down with CM Punk. Look at his eyes before eddie passed. And then look at them at any point. Hindsight 20/20 yes, but the man just looks broken
I still can believe how Vince Buried WCW it's a damn shame
What? Are you serious??
nylgnd38 I think he means buying it’s talent and wasting their talents
You mean McMahon or Russo?
Same with ECW. Anytime anyone on that show went up against someone from RAW or Smackdown!, pretty sure it was a loss. Especially if it was one of the originals.
I agree Vince Russo did bury WCW 😎
Will never forget that Benoit match. I was there live in Charlotte and was so pumped for him and Punk to go at it.
Chris Candido's last match was only a few minutes as he broke his leg at Impact Wrestling's first LockDown ppv. He did the Monday taping, and I believe he died that Wednesday.
What about Eddie Guerrero vs mr Kennedy
Tyler Clayton yeah
I honestly expected to see michals vs hogan on this list. Good choices though
6 min 7 sec mark..."You shold out!" I don't think they quite said that....lol 😂🤣
I think Kazuchika Okada vs Katsuyori Shibata at Sakura Genesis 2017 should have made the list. Knowing what would happen makes rewatching it very hard
Simon, the only thing keeping me subscribed to Whatculture
did someone say may 19th?
Or threeeee minnnuuttes lol
N ROOD funnily enough that's my birthday
Sadly, May 19th is my wedding anniversary
Bday
@@ginadiaz2231 3 minutes and we'll become Umaga & SHIT
Why is Elijah gonna be fighting air in the thumbnail
It's so bad but I love that joke
It's John Cena, only you can't see him hehe.
@@matthewpunk2012 forget what I said above your comment. This is the best
It was God, comin for that ECW Title.
@@jimllc it keeps getting better
"...match was a nonfinish, so it was well worth it." Thank you, Simon. That line tipped the scales toward laughter, as opposed to the crying I was weighing it against.
10 matches I never forget:
1. Kurt Angle vs Brock Lesnar (ironman).
2. Eddie Guerrero vs Brock Lesnar.
3. HBK vs Undertaker (Retirement).
4. HBK vs Ric Flar (Retirement).
5. Chris Benoit vs Kurt Angle (RR 2003).
6. Royal Rumble 2020 (Because Edge returned and Drew won).
7. Orange Cassidy vs Pac.
8. Fiend vs John Cena.
9. Undertaker vs Mick Foley (HIAC)
10. Eddie Guerrero vs JBL (Cage)
"I told Bill not to hurt me and then he hurt me"
Bret Hart
I was at the curtain call show, that was awesome
Surprised you didn't use Eddie Guerrero vs Kennedy on Smackdown, just days before he passed away. Especially considering it was a match that had Survivor Series implications. And Eddie did his classic "play dead" move to trick Kennedy into a win.
Another great Simon Miller video. Please whatculutre give him more MON-EY
'Simon rocks'!!!!!
'Simon rocks'!!
A 15 second ad just took a minute to finish
Jim Ross is such a professional. WWE never appreciated him.
booker t!!! this video is awesome because of that
I was in Houston for the PPV that Benoit was supposed to fight Punk. Everybody was PISSED when Johnny Nitro came running out.
16/10/99, eh? I was born that day.
Is it me or this guy looks like Johnny sins
Reece Hernandez he does lol
#7 Re Jeff Jarrett. Version I heard was that his contact expired the day before the PPV, so he was perfectly in his legal rights to do whatever he wanted. The payout was for the 1 day contract to wrestle on the PPV.
Simon rocking curtains lol.
I love chris as a wrestler i choose to remmber him at wrestlemaina 20 with eddie i love owan but i was to young at the time to care but watched all of his matches since then in my teens now 26 i apprate him alot more he was awesome
and the WWE would never fully recover from the Benoit situation :(
What do you mean?
He didnt do it tbh
Of course not. No more Ruthless Aggression/Attitude Era style themes after that tragedy.
Scars don't heal, they fade
I'm saying that WWE won't heal from the Benoit incident but they can fade/forget the incident
That's because they didn't own up to Benoit's Meltdown. Instead they needed a fall guy to give to the harsh Media and Benoit was that person. That;s was the start of the WWE slowly dropping downfall.
Watching in 2020 and happy to see edge has returned
The spot in the Benoit vs. Burke match where Burke counters the diving headbutt by putting his knees up is absolutely heinous to watch.
We need pics of teenage Simon
Hooray, its Simon!!!
Undertaker vs mankind hell in the cell match. Mick is a living legend for that punishment he took
Rest In Peace Benoit. One of my all time favorites to this day
Raptor_jesus he killed two people. He’s in hell where he belongs
The GreatWhiteN0pe mental illness gets a pass atleast to me in his case. Dude put his life on the line in the ring and he had the brain of a 80 year old man with Alzheimer’s disease. Look it up.
@@1010ryuzaki He gets a pass?!?! He dont get no pass for what he did!!! He MURDERED HIS OWN SON AND WIFE!!! He gets no special treatment just because he was a good wrestler he is most definitely in hell!!
Great another list, with stuff we have already heard about like The Curtain Call and other things. Please tell us new stories, or stories we haven't heard before!!!
Punk vs Benoit. I ordered that PPV JUST for that match.
Carpitol Carnage is nearly 20 years ago. Geez i feel old already. Cause i ordered it on Sky Box Office.
What about 11/13/05 episode of Smackdown? Eddie Guerrero vs Ken Kennedy turned out to be Guerrero's final televised match before he passed away.
0:22 Where Jules belongs :)
you mean where adam wilbourn belongs
Jules is okay. Andy and Adam Cleary also go there. Jules, Simon, and Adam Nicholas are cool
Why? Is your mum in there?
How about a video of top 10 feuds off all time
November 8 2005 Eddie Guerrero’s last TV match
Meir Nissim its not infamous
i am cenafan98 4 it took place November 8 but aired November 11
I have the vhs of capitol carnage and i gotta say that was a surprise ending to that tag match between sable and jacqueline 😂😎
Elias 2020 wwe champ
Only in wwe 2k19
Won't happen, crowd loves him to much.
Is it just me or does he look a lot like Bonesaw from spider man 1?
You are joking,right?
@@johnspencer7838 he looks more like Macho Man to me
@@georgewilliams1470 for sure bro. Elias is money. Very versatile
Eddie vs Kennedy? Not only was that Eddie's last match but it also ended Kennedy's undefeated streak.
Was gutted when Edge retired, he is one of my all time favourites
How about a list of matches that shouldn’t have existed but were fantastic anyway like AJ Styles vs Finn Balor
I recently watched Beniots last match on the network just thinking about what would happen days after that match
I used to watch Thursday Night Thunder...and Monday Night Raw. lol Sad, I know. I would tune into Nitro occasionally, but I was such a purist. I watched Raw almost from the beginning in 1993 (summer because, no school and no bedtime and I was 11 going on 12)....so yeah. ^^
ssjup81 I would watch Nitro to kill that hour for Raw once 8:59 hit the cable box was programmed to turn then I would get hyped
Just knew I'd see HBK vs. Hogan from Summerslam (forgot which year) up here. One of the most entertaining matches for all the wrong reasons I've ever seen.
EDGE IS BACK
Every video on this channel is the Clique Kayfabe break
I was at the RAW/Smackdown in Corpus Christi, Tx show he (Benoit) missed and it had gotten cancelled if I remember correctly.
#10- then edge came back in 2020
Aj Lee was the one who started #givedivasachance. You guys even talk about it like water and you forget to mention it here
LMAO it was already trending before Aj tweeted anything. Just look at twitter history. Its all there u can see for yourself.
"Talk about it like water"???
Benoit's head was so fucked up from concussions it made Bret hard look like he had a paper cut
Surprised Kane and Daniel Bryan vs The Prime Time Players aren’t on here. (Jerry Lawler had his heart attack during the match)
The disappearing Daniel Bryan Hahahaha
You forgot SmackDown 2006 Eddie Guerrero vs Mr Kennedy
05
Thunder was awesome.
Central Illinois Morel Hunters John Asbury agreed!
I liked it as well. I even went to a Thunder and it was awesome. The whole NWO was there, Giant vs Goldberg (5 second match). Awesome!!!!!
going to watch Bret get the funky chair shot now tho 😁
Didn't know you guys were still making videos
This video should be called "10 Last Matches"
I remember seeing the Booker vs Bagwell match and thinking something was definitely wrong. Almost like they purposely wrestling old New York style (dont come within 4 inches of my body, and wrestle in slow motion) just to thumb their noses at being in the WWE. I could see Buff playing extremely safe because of his neck issues but that was an odd outing for Booker who was definitely one of the best heavyweight performers on the WCW roster.
Great list.
At the end of the day Jeff Jarret is seriously amazing for what we did. I think it is the ultimate money move I've seen
Eddie Guerrero vs Mr Kennedy? Jbl vs Blue Meanie?
Yes Simon, we're talking about WWE because you're ALWAYS talking about WWE. Goodness.
We miss you Rabid Wolverine
Crash Banticoot 619ThePlush , blame Kevin Sullivan for all those death
Not really.
@@nicksmith9200 Yeah let's blame Kevin Sullivan, instead of Benoit. 😂 God, please take this poor soul.
@@briancromartie3149 you're a sheep, you believe what you was told
@@osiawideman5846 Your tin foil hat is showing. Let me guess, you probably think Sullivan killed Kurt Cobain as well.
I think you should have mentioned the match Team Hell no vs. the Prime Time Players. The one where Jerry got a heart attack.
I didn’t watch this video yet but I watched the Benoit vs Burke match and when Benoit was doing the diving head-butt and Burke put his knee up the last second so Burke’s knee hit Benoits head
No Mass Transit match in ECW? Doesn't come much more infamous IMO.
I would’ve listed Eddie Guerrero vs Mr. Kennedy from November 11, 2005 Smackdown in the top three. Reason being that was Eddies last match before passing away two days after it aired
