What if his gimmick was being an out of shape, untrained, Jeff Hardy knock off...? Let that sink in...
+IAmTheMikko Like Ascension ripping off the Road Warriors
+David Broughall to be fair that was bad writing.....in nxt they were ok
+DarkZeeD I should TOTALLY go pro!
+IAmTheMikko How weird would it be if it was all a work and the dude in the Hardy costume was really one talented and over in ring wrestler...but he needed to get some heel heat so he went the Trashbagger route.
+rstabler1 Lol. I was thinking that. Russo swerve, that really was Jeff Hardy (omg!). He was just playing the character of an aspiring wrestler who's gimmick is to be a shitty Jeff Hardy knock off. On a pole.
I wrestled a total of three times. I was told that the best type of gimmick is where you take an aspect of your personality and life and blow it up to 10. I tried a heel atheist gimmick, nearly got stabbed, and decided that was enough for me. Oh, and it was in rural Texas... so I should have known better.
You sound like an amazing heel,dare I say that's what is supposed to happen,think about all the mobs that wanted to kick Piper's ass back in the day
+Twenty x Twenty sounds like you were doing your job as a heel. gotta walk that fine line depending on the crowd though
+SaintMainstream What did Piper do?
+TC TC Kick ten kinds of shit out of any fan who touched him.
If you are going to do a heel atheist gimmick, don't work in the south.
“He’s wrestled in front of hundreds of people” combined in the past 10 years
🤣😭🤣
A couple years ago, I met this one dude who was a local indy wrestler. His whole gimmick was a ripoff of Spike Dudley, but in his words "he was making it his own." However, he never specified how he made the gimmick his own. So I finally see his match at a show and low and behold, he copied every aspect of Spike Dudley's gimmick: the ring gear, the facial expressions, the moves, the whole spazzy hand waving. Dude was a trash bag wrestler straight to a T.
Hey, I know that guy, and he is not a trashbag wrestler!
Dike Spudley is a true original, I don't know what made you think otherwise!
Wrestlers who dress up like the real wrestlers, and they copy a real wrestlers moves, claiming that it's their own, I call them " Cosplay wrestlers".
+Mychael Darklighter Dike? So he's a Lesbian?
Were you sure it wasnt just Spike Dudley...?
@@eroupopper you predicted aew
My take... avoid Hillbilly, military, or other way overused gimmicks as an excuse to not buy gear. And for please DO NOT BUY THE PUNISHER SHIRT!!!!!
+Titus Machiavelli Right on!
I'd say if you're a Military Vet, it's ok
+Lee Marion I understand that point and I almost said it myself. The problem is the military gimmick has been played out so much, and in particular by non-military people. It would actually be better to due a military gimmick with custom gear instead of standard issue type gear. That j would 100% stand behind.
I have a buddy who is a vet and wrestles now with a Military gimmick. He actually wears some of his old Army gear, with some custom stuff mixed in and camo face paint
+Titus Machiavelli i could see an army gimmick working if someone came down to the ring not necessarily in actual combat gear but something that looks like what people think special forces look like if that makes any sense. they should never wrestle in it of course (except maybe some elbow and knee pads) but if you can capture the feel of for instance a rainbow six operative (fictional organization from series of novels and video games) it should get across the idea that "yes this is an overused gimmick but i bet you haven't seen someone put this much effort into it".
also as far as promos and the like are concerned might be better for the character to act like a mercenary type person so they have an excuse to change sides at pretty much any time and so they don't get stuck being a john cena type character (nothing wrong with that im a fan of cena personally but 1 cena is enough cenas and according to some people 1 cena is too many).
Maybe he was pretending to be Jeff Hardy from TNAs victory road ppv😂😂😂
Ouch!
Or jake the snake at heros of wrestling
He would need red sleeves and face paint for that.
and a little bit of faking the crowd out
One of my favorite bits about Botchamania is the school gym wrestling shows with fat guys wearing blue jeans and a t shirt botching all over.
Holy hell, anyone else read the fake Jeff Hardy post? I can't tell if the guy has had a ton of concussions or he dropped out of school in the 4th grade.
Both
He really should be making his money suing the public school system.
The idiot didn't even know the difference before By and Buy.
@@wisewolftony Holy shit I hope that was intentional
I was just about to post this same question. I feel bad for the dude now, he's really slow.
this was the first Wrestling With Wregret video I ever watched a couple years ago, and i immediately subbed and have been a huge fan ever since. this is definitely one of the best wrestling channels on CZcams, keep up the great content Brian, love your videos.
+Jason Bowman Thank you for being a fan!
@@WrestlingWithWregret BEST WRESLING CHANNEL ON YOU TUBE PLEASE SO HOOK UP WITH OSW REVIEW?????
I just hope there is never a trash bag naked midion knock off.
jack deez Most of the trash bag big guys look like they are doing Bastion even if they aren't
Don't be giving them ideas!
Or Beaver Cleavage
@@AllTheWeirdestProject or even Oklahoma
If there is, I hope it's a female.
This is the most Brian Cornette video ever.
Nearly every performer who doesn't wear ring gear has worn ring gear at some point, and that's probably the point that the trash bag wrestlers don't get. Even Raven, my favorite wrestler of all time had to wear ring gear as Scotty Flamingo before he was able to wear a Dinosaur Jr. T-Shirt and torn up jhorts to the ring as Raven. Its the same with Foley.
+Joelsuf You are very much correct. Even the Hardy Boyz started out wearing colourful tights, that were inspired by the 80s wrestlers of their youth. The only reason they switched to the Hot Topic gear in the first place was that the WWF wanted them to "go darker" to match the tone of the Attitude Era.
When they were on Talk is Jericho, Matt did declare that their Hot Topic gear was the worst thing for Indy wrestlers, who suddenly realised they did not need to invest in proper wrestling gear. No doubt seeing a lot of the ECW roster helped with this 'newfound' belief.
Redrally
The Hardys were on Talk is Jericho? Hold on, lemme go download dat lol
Also John Cena wore gear as the Prototype, CM Punk wore gear in WWE (I don't know if what he wore in ROH could be considered gear), you can get away with stuff only if you made a name for yourself as a true professional
aiooty19 near the end of his RoH run he was already wearing the gear he wore during his wwe time, as far as his earlier look, I'd still consider it proper ring gear since I consider the shorts he wore for the longest time to be similar to what the Uso's wore up until their heel turn a few years back.
Raven used to wear a Dinosaur Jr shirt back then? That's fucking awesome!
Man I miss the old Trash Bag FB page from when this video first came out. It was legit the most hilarious thing ever. Just scrolling through pics and comments for hours.
What happened to it?
@@khdcast9056Probably since taken down for Facebook Violations on "Bullying" of some sort.. I can _totally_ see FB doing something like that. I've never seen the page before and I really wish I had!😄 Never made a FB account until 2021.
From what I remember someone had taken over from the original users, but then they started posting wild shit and kind of attacking people outright I ended up unfollowing
2:15 "He said he only takes advice when it's something he wants to hear..."
That sentence is basically almost every independent wrestler in a nutshell.
So Trash bag wrestlers are a lot like Sonic Recolors?
Yes. However, the only difference is that unlike the Trash Bag Wrestlers, the artists that recolored the Sonic characters eventually learned art, and put more effort into making their Sonic original characters.
Super Nitro Z64 yeah that does make sense
The Sonichu of wrestling
@@SuperNitroZ64 over generalization much lol, a vast majority remain complete crap. And keep with crappy recolors
I listed to a Y2J interview with the Hardys and they both mentioned that because of them, half assed indie guys think "Oh wow if they can wrestling in normal clothes then I can too.." Even The Hardys think they're lazy
javis88h It's their biggest legacy!
Wrestling With Wregret They also said. "At least get some tights." Although I don't really like The Hardys, they made a great and slightly snarky point.
javis88h When The Hardyz started on Sunday Night Heat, they wore tights....Flower pattern tights but still they wore them.
Awesome Sauce Exactly. It wasn't until late 90s they started wearing cargo pants and mesh
I've got a proposition that may reduce the amount of T-baggers (see what I did there) out there and the unscrupulous "promoters" who take advantage of someone with dreams yet without training; it's a bit expensive for sure, but if you wanna live the dream without any of the sacrifice, here's the best (IMO) solution= get a video game system (anything from an N64 to a Ps4 or XboxONE if you can afford it will do), get yourself a copy of a WWF/E game (if you got PS2 I also very highly recommend Fire Pro-Wrestling Returns), on the game you've gotten go to its creation mode, get a mirror, create yourself- looks, moves, entrance, etc.- and voila! all the fun of being in the ring without the real-life training and sacrifice or the pain of having to bump or the embarrassment in front of real, paying crowds1 a win-win for all!
triplestar100 This is precisely what I did after almost breaking my neck trying to teach myself to front-flip when I was 13, and it worked wonders for me. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
"I can do the swanton bomb"
Totally botches it.
Yeah that looked like it hurt
That's more of a "Pissy Plummet", as Caddicarus would say
Ok, for whatever reason this video made me want to train to wrestle under a gimmick based on Mr Rogers. Like I'd walk to the ring in a sweater and khakis, change out of my loafers into wrestling boots, and then give my opponent a friendly butt kicking. And I know this all sounds terrible, but I want to do it even more now that I know its terrible.
No... That sounds great. That could be a great heat magnet.
That sounds like peak WCW shtick, and it sounds glorious.
keep talking
The Jeff Hardy wannabe really needs to learn how to use punctuation marks.
It's the drugs like Jeff hardy
Oh and also, is it bad I want him to wrestle a sting knockoff?
@@finn_young8082 No its not even the drugs. Trust me I know as I have taken plenty of drugs in my life. And still know the fucking difference between BY and BUY he probably also uses the other two forms of BYE and BI.
Does he also do the same drugs as Jeff Hardy?
Lmao wouldn't be surprise he probably was off drugs when he typed that paragraph
+Greg Morgan off drugs?
Maybe drugs help him spell and he lerft hers clokayne iwefd egsfd wedfowoqwld.
Why doesn’t this have more likes??
I remember seeing an Al Snow knockoff at a really low rent indy show who went by Tommy Snow. This was in 2015. I thought it was one of Mick Foley's shitty jokes come to life.
When I read that headline I assumed the video would be about Mabel whose gear looks like he wears a purple and gold Hefty bag.
You guys think it's accurate to say Brian is the AVN of wrestling?
+Angelus Nielson Being an AVGN lookalike is his gimmick... XD
+Angelus Nielson Thank God I'm not the only one.
+Angelus Nielson Who the fuck is the AVN?? Don't you mean AVGN by any chance?
+Orochi Candyman Yes, I did.. Calm down dude, it was a typo. Jesus Christ...
he reminds me linkara more
woah i forgot waht the old intro sounded like straight fire
The only way copying somebodies gimmick would be acceptable was if it is done in parody like the bWo, everyone knew they where ripping off the nWo but they weren't trying to be them, it was still their own gimmick.
A parody is different to a rip-off dude
Even the Hardy Boys have regretted using hot topic gear, citing and mocking the copycats who wrestle on the shittier part of the indys
There's so many untrained Jeff Hardy cosplayers on the lower-tier indies. Grow up, shop Highspots for gear, and get trained by someone good. Even The Hardys, Raven, and Jon Moxley wore tights before they made it big.
So true! A few years back, I got into an argument with a newbie who wanted to call himself the Dynamite Kid. Just sad.
Jay Heycock You talked to Davey Richards?
+Jay Heycock To be fair I wonder if he knew about Dynamite. A lot of young fans/young stars don't know about the history of the wrestling business.
He’s gunna hes gunna OH MY GAHD HES GUNNA PUUUUUUUKE
If I were a wrestler I'd be an automatic heel because I'm British
Sasuke Universe Depends on where you work
Someone needs to tell Breezango that there are tons of wrestling fashion crimes left unsolved
I totally agree with your comments!!! This not only applies to wrestling but in all walks of life. One thing that makes for an exciting indie promotion is when they don't try to promote themselves as a "poor man's WWE", but as the "best kept secret" in wrestling. The same goes for the wrestlers themselves. The ones who get discovered by the big leagues are the ones who had already developed a fanbase for themselves in the "bush leagues". When fans come to see a wrestler, not because he reminds them of a more famous WWE wrestler, but on their own terms, that wrestler has a chance of truly making it. A great example of this is a wrestler known as "Craazy Steve". For years fans have turned out to see him in seedy little warehouses, convention centers and auditoriums because of his style, athletic ability and memorable character. The ultimate payoff for this has been his signing to the TNA roster. Who knows, perhaps fans might see him in the WWE one day. All this is due to him making his own mark on the industry and not trying to live off the coat-tails of someone else.
You should do some research into the British scene of the 90s and early 2000s. There were ‘UK’ versions of every American wrestlers gimmick. There was a UK Undertaker, a “Big Red Machine” etc. They would be billed as “UNDERTAKER” on the posters with ‘uk’ in tiny writing above it. I’m shocked no one ever got sued.
my kid is training right now. We're going to take some care and attention to getting him some half way decent gear
Can he bench atleast 180? Cuz without that ATLEAST he's now gonna be able to do most grapple moves
I'm the guy who's gonna learn Mma then go to wrestling with an Mma gimmick, like stone fisted badass or was training in Mma but was too dangerous to be in it so he came to wrestling
+Finn_Young Depending on what the kid is built like benching 180 isn't always needed as for your own gimmick isn't that the same gimmick as Cesaro and that one scottish dude that was on wwe for a while just with a different sport
Finn_Young We tried MMA for a bit but he kept selling instead of trying to fight out of holds.
Tbh he's still pretty skinny but he's getting tall and he has huge feet and hands. Give him a couple of years and I reckon he'll be pretty hench. He's only just turned 14.
Dr J Reefer wait skinny as in he doesn't work out skinny or skinny as in his bone structure makes him naturally skinny
NGL...the Facebook page is shit now. It went from witty, lightly poking fun at legitimately trashy looking wrestlers, to a sick combo of straight up bullying and bad political humour
Sad but true
Brian looks like the angry video game nerd.
He's the angry Wrestling Nerd :-)
Ironic that this comment would be left on a video about stolen gimmicks.
Its like AVGN and Jim Cornette jerked off into a jar and screamed at it until Brian Zane was born.
G33k Culture Well thanks for putting that image in my head
AVGN & Wrestling with Wregret review:
The Worst Wrestling Games of all Time
A lot of cussin and swearing all day
great content respect your gift of creativity and comedic talents just found your page a few months ago
What do you recommend for people trying to go Pro besides the stuff you mentioned? Where would you go for wrestling, what you should/shouldn't do, etc?
You can check out my playlist that tackles a lot of different aspects of getting into wrestling here!

Wrestling With Wregret Thanks man!
huge fan of the videos nice to see a fresh attitude towards the business and not the typical new school attitude
2:19 longest run-on sentence I've ever seen in my life. Worst grammar too.
I know, right?
Where has this Facebook page been my entire wrestling living life?!
It was better before the owner went off the deep end
There was a local promotion here in WNY full of these guys. It literally killed the promotion
I must thank you for pointing me to the Trashbag Wrestlers page. It is a great source of comedy.
This video has a huge significance in my book because it was the very first Wrestling With Wregret video I had seen. I remember watching it for the first time a few years ago and I was instantly a fan and have been a Wrestling With Wregret subscriber ever since. I still find myself coming back and watching this video every couple of months, as well as watching most of Brian's top 8 videos multiple times. Keep up the awesome content Mr. Zane, I look forward to new Wrestling With Wregret videos, and this channel is one of the very few CZcams channels I'm subbed to where I have actually left the notification bell turned on so that I know when you posted a new video. I dig the fact that you haven't pidgeon holed yourself to one type of video, but instead you have multiple formats for your videos. My favorite type of video you do are your top 8 countdown videos, but I also like your videos about a single topic. (WWE NWO, Tazz, DDP, Raven in WWE, etc.) Your Wrestling movie reviews are pretty fucking funny as well, especially the "Ready to Rumble" review, and that huge steaming pile of shit that was that "Jesse Ventura story" abomination. Your nostalgic Pay Per View reviews are awesome too. Even your "Who War it better" videos are better than most Wrestling channel videos are better than 90% of other CZcams Wrestling channel videos, and the "Who War it better" videos are my least favorite Wrestling With Wregret videos. Anyway, keep up the awesome content Mr. Zane, I'm a huge fan and always look forward to seeing new Wrestling With Wregret videos when I open CZcams.
One of the things about TBW that bothers me is that wrestling gear, especially custom gear, is incredibly expensive. And many of the wrestlers on the page seem to be around the Apalacian mountains, one of the poorest regions of the United States.
+saintdane05
Earlier on, they were more lenient towards people that used compression shorts/basic basketball shorts, but now they just kinda upload pictures regardless of context and don't even bother to address it when it turns out the person in the picture actually is a legit worker.
I find this funny because I realized that my CAW defines as a trash bag wrestler.
My first one did but then I changed it. Still kept the RKO as a finisher tho.
Can't go wrong with RKO! But yeah, mine wears facepaint, long black evil hair, mesh shirt over long sleeved black shirt, Oh and here's the kicker: leather pants. Yep, no knee pads or work boots, alllll gothic. I learned a lot from this video. But my gosh, do I disdain men in underwear; soo generic looking. Have you played wwe 12? That game had the most generic roster ever.
Mine looked like a Uso/ Ulimate Warrior rip off. Yea I've played it, but I only made my cases in WWE 2k14-17.
Nice! My CAW is a mix between sting and seth rollins. They just have this scary presence look to them.
Mine was a combo of Dean Ambrose and John cena with khaki shorts and a black muscle shirt but then I changed it up and made my character a member of bullet club because I'm a big BC mark wearing black tights with the bullet club logo on each leg and the logo on my boots and I only changed the attire when I was in a no holds barred match because I made it like a street fight and had my character fight in jeans and the bullet club bone soldier shirt, but my character has brown short curly hair, a stubble brown beard, and green eyes, finishers are the RKO because you can't go wrong with it, and a cross face, then signatures were either the five star frog splash as a tribute to Eddie Guerrero because he was the best and rob van dam because I'm also a battle creek area person, and I used the vertebreaker too.
I've never really minded guys who wrestle wearing "normal" clothes, long as they're otherwise interesting. And if the most interesting thing about you is your gear, you're doing it wrong.
Thank you for the advice it's been my dream to always be a wrestler but I'm bad at making up my own gimmick and this was actually very interesting and gave me some good insight
This needs a second part
The kid in question works security for this one show.....After the video of his "match" showed up and all the backlash...He actually showed up to work this one show....and ALL the wrestlers gave him HELL it was a very great moment in the history of our sport
Oh my God! *lol* Thank you for introducing me to the Facebook page. I haven't laughed this hard in months! Awesome stuff. Your videos are great, too, by the way. Just watched a ton of them.
**insert Trashman joke here**
Ric flair and buddy Rogers are prime examples. No one thinks of buddy when think of nature boy. But ric just did his gimmick better then him. Nature boy buddy Rogers people literally think I'm making it up. Younger commenters. Etc
I love wrestling history
Personally, I think there are certain gimmicks where it makes sense to wear street clothes or other nontraditional gear, but you should at least have a well thought out, specific reason for choosing whatever it is you're going to wear and how you present yourself. I will also add that IMHO the gimmicks where it makes sense to do that are grossly over saturated at this point, so you should probably go with something else.
Well on the "Don't go out in front of paying crowds. Until your trainer thinks your ready" my first match was terrible but my trainer thought i was ready, basically i was clunky and the only good moves i could do were strikes and takedowns i learned in all the martial arts i trained in before and my time in the military
What was weird for me was that I was playing Retro Bowl and you referenced the New York Jets the exact moment I read them on the screen
Your content has come a LONG way since these days
It's about time the New York jets are given an NFL championship so people will appreciate them more. They deserve it, they've been trying for so long :-)
About the only major mistake I've seen Trash Bag Wrestlers make, I mean as far as not researching a picture, was identifying DC Drake as a bagger. DC Drake was a major star in the Northeastern Indies in the late 80s and early 90s and at one point had a major feud with Bruiser Brody.
Yeah sometimes it's a case of "good wrestler in unflattering position", but most of the guys I know who have been in that position have laughed it off and kind of turned into a badge of honor. :)
There needs to be a part two of this
I feel like modern Brian wouldn't be near as willing to put specific random people on blast
Hardy gear person was a GUY?!
kama316 pun
kama316 I know
As someone aspiring to be a wrestler this video is very helpful advice when it comes to making my gimmick. I am currently working out in my house and looking for legit pro wrestling gear like tights and luchador masks. I even came up with multiple names for my wrestling character.
i don't think Hot Topic sells that stuff anymore but either way, good point! i remember watching an indy show on tv years ago and there was this one guy who had the huge Tripp NYC pants going on plus the same style of multi colored under armor Jeff Hardy would wear. Trash bag wrestlers indeed lol
but AEW is selling all their merchandise out of Hot Topic, now
The interesting thing about the TBW Facebook "group" is that they had a picture of Shockwave The Wrestling Robot put up. He came up with an original idea AND he had gear made for his character.
Just saw Grims last video where he said people called him a trash bag wrestler, found this one on your page now I'm enlightened. Thank you Brian
So with the new found knowledge you have acquired would you put Grim in the category of Trash Bag wrestlers or not? I mean the guy actually DID wrestle on the Indy scene for a while & he was too bad back in the day.
Rick C he wore like regular clothes in his matches so I'd say he is one even though he is pretty good. I'd say slightly in that category
I agree with everything you said. However, I have seen those Facebook pages post pictures of guys that were really good wrestlers, had been in the business for quite a while, get booked all over, were respected, and knew how to get responses from all types of crowds, yet whoever was taking pics that day for the website decided their choice in gear for that one show was terrible. So they got labeled on Facebook. Most of them on that page are trashbag wrestlers, though. But on occasion, they just catch someone in a compromising, one time position.
i went to an event called pw blitz and a dude named the samoan savage came out he was a umaga rip off he even had the finger tape
on his thumb like when he did the samoan spike
+Dylan Coyer sorry for the spelling
+Dylan Coyer The spelling is fine.
+Zugor Beast Butcher (Branded Butcher) thats how u spell samoan
You're the AVGN of wrestling youtubers.
Wow you were angry back in 2014 lol love your stuff glad you cheered up some
I like the subtle music on the video like a leave it to beaver theme song lol
loved the ren and stimpy music in the beginning lol
I used to have a buddy that has been on Trash Bag Wrestlers twice. Both times, he got pissed and tried to argue with the guys. Still remember one quote he told me about him training
"Flip bumps are pointless in wrestling"
Morbidly Obese Roman Reigns at 3:26 in the bottom-right corner is fucking awesome
3:24 & 5:57 are especially funny now, because AEW is shilling all their merch out of Hot Topic LOLz
Theres this wrestling show that passes by my area every so often, everyone tries to emulate superstars like Undertaker, Triple H, Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy. I went about 10 years ago and it was awful
I mean i seen it when i was 6 and I was still able to notice how shit it was
Princess Celestia Literally Dressed As Old School 1994-96 Undertaker It's Accurate
They're all more legitimate than Super Tramp.
Oh dear, I know this comment is way late to the party but I only recently found this guy and been going through his back catalogue. I was a wrestler in the independent scene of my hometown. I almost bust a gut laughing when he said that the only time you should wear normal clothes is if you're a hillbilly or a homeless guy. I did both. Even then I had actual boots and for the homeless guy I had a singlet under the ripped up shirt and shorts (ala Balls Mahoney)
Still, thanks for the laugh Mr Zane.
Brain and James should team up, to rate old wrestling games.
Messy Crayon James already has done one video. He should do a second one with Brian.
When I saw the thumbnail and before I clicked I thought of this one group of trash bag wrestlers.... And they were in the second clip in the video ahhahahaha
0:00 my reaction to all three fastlanes
I peeked at that page. Some people take their picture being added in stride and few see it as "a badge of honor". Others get pretty butt hurt and it's hilarious to watch them get dragged.
For the most part, I do agree with you on the street clothes issue, but as you said, it also depends on the gimmick. I mean, I can't picture Raven or Bray Wyatt in anything but a variation of street clothes.
Zachary W I'd add Luke Harper to that. Can't see the dude wrestling in anything other than jeans and a vest. Sometimes street clothes just look better than trunks and boots.
Kaltagstar96 Sure, those are notable exceptions, but they should be just that, exceptions. I can't tell you how often I have seen/heard about guys who try and wrestle with no tights or boots, then try and say, "Well Cena doesn't wear tights!" OK, well are you John Cena? I think that anyone who starts out in wrestling should get legitimate gear, just to be on the safe side, then if the opportunity presents itself, then maybe think about wrestling in "civvies."
Wrestling With Wregret That's true. It's not like they wouldn't know where to get them. I've seen some kick-ass motorcross pants that would make awesome looking tights for example. I'm not going to lie I'm more concerned by how out of shape some of the dudes are from seeing this and the music video. It could be a good way to get heel heat though, someone's an actual good wrestler but has a 'trashbagger' gimmick just to work the fans.
Wrestling With Wregret John Cena actually owns about one hundred pairs of tights dating back to his Protoype days with a large number of boots. I'd say for him to spend the money he did on ring gear then was given the opportunity to wrestle in jean shorts and sneakers, he's earned it.
I worked at hot topic and we did have a few indy wrestlers come in looking for gear, especially the female ones buying lingerie to turn into gear
Thanks for the new episode
As the guy with a notorious Jeff Hardy ripoff video of satire, I appreciate this video. XD
Great video of these slugs. Could've done with the shot to the Jets lol.
2:25 Swanton Bomb? More like rolling leg drop or something.
+FinnHale a Harlem Hangover?
+FinnHale when you do a swanton are trying to hit you upper back to your opponent's belly?
daniel Walsh Yeah, pretty much
+FinnHale NO!ITS A TRASHBAG SENTONEN TRASH FUCKER ROLLING LEG SWEEP BOMB DROP.
Really love these reviews should put playlist
Yay new episode these are amazing
I can think of one other example where street clothes are acceptable: when you're "unprepared" for a match that you just got scheduled to do right now, like Chris Jericho did when he had to face the Hart Dynasty.
Lol I paused the video to read that facebook post....... erm .... try to read it i guess, and his writing was so bad it gave me a headache. Like no joke lol. The worst part about it was that he saw nothing wrong with it. I dont blame you Brian for gettin sick and mad. I dont know if anyone has thought of this, but what gonna happen if one of these "wrestlers" gets seriously hurt from copying one of the moves of the gimmick he is stealing. Lets face it its pretty much stealing at this point. Its just people like that that dont realize what they are doing and they dont think about the consequences, they just think they are a big time pro wrestler now. lol I'll get off my soapbox now. Keep up the good work with the videos man. You are awesome
I thought this video was about New Jack.
I'm sure New Jack inspired a lot of the people I'm talking about here!
Wrestling With Wregret it could be cool if a wrestler's gimmick is that he's into the business for money so he refuses to wear ring gear
Hey Brian I’m fourteen years old and live near Louisville Kentucky. Who should I try to get to train me. I’ve spent the last 8 years wrestling on local trampolines in jeans and a tank top torn down the back with blood on it, and I just wanna wrestle for real with a real trainer. Who do you suggest.
When I started wrestling I had no gear or special t-shirt the money situation was tight so I had to make due with what I had by borrowing wrist tape from my fellow wrestlers, Eventually I got gear but it was like baby steps first came a custom t then wrist tape then elbow pads and knee pads. Did I take longer then I should have? Yes, But I had to make due with what I was able to get.
I searched on the internet, but I found few site where the also soldi boots. Do you know some sites where they sell wrestling boots that are not so expensive?
+aiooty19 Not really. Cheap boots ain't good, and good boots ain't cheap!
I wanted to be a wrestler. I even wrestled with a small local promotion in my country, Scotland. I wrestled just two full matches. I wasn't bad, I just wasn't very interesting to watch, move set was fairly plain. I tried to be a bit more daring...and I broke my neck botching a moonsault. I'm fine now, but I can't wrestle now in case I damage my neck anymore. My advice, if you're gonna try something new, perfect it, know you can perform it safely before you try to show off
also, a lot of guys who wear regular clothing when they wrestle didn't start out that way. the Hardy's, dean ambrose, raven etc all wore regular ring gear and their style came with their gimmicks
I've always had an idea of a gimmick where the guy is basically offering everyone a devil's deal. He can get them whatever they want if they give him something in return, or do this one little favor for him later. The thing is what he ends up asking for might end up being something the other guy holds very close to them. Like if Bray Wyatt wants a WWE title shot he will get it, and after the match, regardless if he wins or loses, he loses Sister Abigail. But if you read the contract in full and read it very carefully then maybe all you have to do is open a door for him. And if you try to screw him...he'll tare your soul apart! Any wrestlers or managers with a gimmick like this? could this work? Is this an original idea, or am I unknowingly ripping someone off?
Wasn't this exactly the Sinister Minister role in Vince Russo's Ring of Glory?
