    Now that Jules is doing wrestling videos, he's got no excuse not to put a picture of Damien Sandow every time he says "You're welcome''.

    Stone Cold Steve Austin aligning himself with Vince McMahon was the official end of the Attitude Era.

      Mike Eaton, WWE timekeeper, was the guy who threw Austin's beer. He's long-since been gone from WWE after Austin retired.

      mylifestyle55 he seems Alright, but this video kinda ran out of steam by the end. His whole "seriously, sorry to all people with mental problems I wish you the best" shtick fell pretty flat, and there weren't many laughs here in general. Hopefully his future lists improve

    • @peanut1875
      @peanut1875 Před 6 lety +2

      He really doesn't care about the wrestling channel IMO. The wrestling news segments he looks so disinterested. I'm not a fan of all his shit sexual experience jokes either. He's not bad but would far prefer Ben or Simon with the guys that are left.

    • @AZ-123
      @AZ-123 Před 6 lety

      Yeah, he's cool but he needs to stop introducing himself as "from the Gaming Channel".

    • @TherealRNOwwfpooh

  • @plshelpmeawkdough
    @plshelpmeawkdough Před 6 lety

    Fun fact: Hornswoggle was actually Finlay's idea, he had been pitching it since WCW and it wasn't until Vince came up to him with the chance to do it.

  • @ComaAlpha
    @ComaAlpha Před 6 lety +1

    When I was a kid I was Raven in an efed (you have a lot of time to kill as a kid.)
    Myself and this guy who used Kanyon used the "rich family" angle to make some bad ass RPs.
    Not exactly great for building a brooding character, but WCW at very least made their twists interesting.

  • @jadinrosh7112

  • @toddroycexxl
    @toddroycexxl Před 6 lety

    Good list. I might have added in Doink The Clown, post-Dink. Before Santa gave him the mini clown, Doink was an evil heel clown. The reason it worked as well as it did was because Matt Borne was behind the character, but after Dink joined him, Doink turned babyface, and then you just had a not-funny, good guy clown. And that's....not....very good......at all.

  • @jeremycastillo8594
    @jeremycastillo8594 Před 6 lety

    Heel Austin was fantastic. He made a deal with Vince and HHH. HHH got hurt and Austin saw Angle as a threat. That dynamic led to Austin jumping to WCW.
    He was a desperate man who did drastic things to keep his throne.
    Goddamn, I loved heel Austin vs face Angle. It was compelling.

    @lucasmcarthur4941 Před 6 lety

    What about the 'Anonymous General Manager' laptop character. The twist that it was little bastard was horribly underwhelming and it wasn't even given any weight. There was some serious heat and speculation on who the voice behind the Laptop was and the angle was built for months and months, only to to kind of be abandoned all together. Was quite a missed opportunity.

    Don't forget Raven was Johnny Polo. They could have used it to say that he came from this priveliged background but his mum caused him so much deep rooted psychological damage that he snapped causing him to abandon his roots and side with the underclass as Raven.

    DAMN YOU Jules! You just HAD TO SAY THIS PUBLICLY! You just KNOW someone from WWE creative is going to see this while looking for ideas (since they obviously don't have any original ideas themselves), pitch it to Vince and he'll say:
    Vince: "THIS IS BRILLIANT!!! I see it now! Sable versus Lynch and her Lynchachaun!"
    WWE creative: um... MR. McMahon? Don't you mean Rhonda Rousey?
    Vince: Who? Oh right.... *Ahem* Charlotte versus The Lynchachaun for the Divas Championship!

      @Neville I didn't notice the part you were referencing (was it with Raven?) but yeah Bradberry's reply was up there with the dumbest I've seen online, and I've been here since 96!
      Someone says thanks and this insecure guy doesn't know how to deal with actual humanity so he reverts to telling you you're crying?
      God that's sad! "He's talking about mental health....and expressing gratitude....[error]...I'll say he's crying!"
      How afraid of your own humanity do you have to be for that to make any sense?
