Here’s an odd fact:
Only 1 wrestler has wrestled at
Wrestlemania
Starrcade
Bound for glory
Wrestle kingdom
Triple mania
And AWA Superclash.
Answer is: Jeff Jarrett
Wow. Amazing. I'm sorta not surprised because, Jeff Jarrett basically wrestled everywhere.
That's j e double f j a double r e double t that's double JJ Jeff Jarrett
Slap Nuts*
@@rubencanas4230 Slap nuts
“Slap Nutz.”- MarkyD
2000 WCW lost $65 million in a year
2019 WWE- "Hold my beer."
2004 TNA - "Hold my money"
Are you high? Much as the product sucks, they had over 900 million dollars in revenue in 2018, and with the new tv deals kicking in this year, they're forecasted to break the billion dollar mark in 2019. Now that's not all profits, just revenue, but the WWE is currently making huge money.
Nope. they got the Saudi Oil Money more like $65 Million profit a year just from the Saudi deal
@Troy uk it's crazy...licensing deals with retailers like Target, sponsorships with Snickers and others, new tv deals with Fox and NBC Universal, Saudi money, network subscriptions...from the beginning of 2018 to now, the price of WWE stock has more than doubled, and Vince's personal net worth has shot up from 1.7 billion to 3.2 billion. And the Fox deal hasn't even kicked in yet, so revenue is still going up.
2020 “Hold my sanitiser.”
Nakamura with "Glorious?" That's like Enzo coming out to "Burn it Down"
Nonono
It’s “Grorious”
@@iRenz0 a little racist but you're right
That’s like Triple H coming out to “time to rock and roll”
That's like Batista coming out to The Time Is Now
That's like the Undertaker coming out to New Day New Way
But did you know JBL beat up the Blue Menie?
Pretty sure no one knows that *hint* *hint*
Next you will be telling me there was some sort of "screwjob" in Montreal.
Before the curtain call there was something called "kayfabe"
Maaz Alim yes actually
Cryptic Stylez god
Did you just "thumbs-down" Sheamus?
Sheamus is trash
Sheamus deserves so much more love. He's a great guy and a great wrestler.
When Gangrel wrestled in WCWC (a small wrestling company in Salem, Oregon) he goes by “The Vampire Warrior, Gangrel”
He also helped train Rusev. But according to Gangrel, there are no talks of him returning to WWE anytime soon for any TV time.
For some reason, I feel like this video won’t age well
Voxanez you too huh?
I can't say you're wrong.
Why? I'm not really up with my wrestle info so i dont understand what you mean
Mick Foley starcade 91 multiple WrestleManias and bound for glory 2009 ...
It's about two wrestlers encountering each other at all 3 events, which is just Hogan and Sting (sort of). There are several individual wrestlers that have appeared at all 3.
the phrasing is key, since they technically appeared together in the match at Wrestlemania but never wrestled together. A lot of others were in all three and some were in all four if you count ECW's PPVs into the mix but they are the only ones to appear together in segments on the PPVs
The Gangrel part explains why in wwe games that include him, it has vampire the masquerade in the copyright section when booting up the game
#6. False. Cody didn't loose the championship. He just replaced his partner.
#1. Also false. RVD was beaten on the WrestleMania 19 pre-show.
The rule of thumb is Pre Show doesn't count
@@BiggBullet Unless it suits the narrative, like when Miz boasted he was undefeated at WrestleMania and was only competing on Pre-Shows.
It was actually called "Sunday Night Heat." That was the show before Wrestlemania was on the air. So even if we are counting pre-show. It wasn't in the name. So it doesn't count.
Even WWE acknowledges the 2003 Sunday Night Heat match doesn't affect Van Dam's Wrestlemania record.
@@LoganProductions54On one hand that is true, (I'm taking your word on this as I'm sure you researched this or plain remember) on the other the other that still keeps the pre show and main show seperate
He didn't replace his partner...he became his opponent's new partner. And "loose the championship"?
AJ Styles WWE music was originally planned for James Storm.
Wow. but that theme song he had in nxt for that one show itself was great.
Phinneus Prune really?
The hell's your beef with Sheamus?
Yeah I don't get it either :-/
He was handpicked by hhh to be a big star in the business he had the title rushed onto him, then the flaws in his ability came to fruition and somehow he still stayed main event for about 5 more years
Pushed too soon without organic fan support. He is okay now though
I wouldn't mind hearing more about wrestling in the 80s. This channel doesn't realise wrestling existed before the Attitude Era.
11. Wrestling was invented by Phillip Wrestle in 1834 in Cincinnati, Ohio, when his drunken barroom brawls started to become a local spectacle.
Ryback invented wrestling, and Philip Wrestle
Simon Miller invented wrestling
@@rianaandriamaharo4359 why here
Why?
Well this isn’t wrestling it’s entertainment buddy , wrestling is Greco-Roman or freeystyle
chris jericho is the only wrestler to ever to have competed at starrcade, wrestlemania, and wrestlekingdom.
Sting Rey haku
I stand corrected, the Steiners also did all three.
Gotta love a man who can admit when he’s wrong.....AND add even one more correction to himself.
Well done, sir
@@BrottenGuy if we are talking about that so has AJ Styles if you count wwe starcade event lol
Jeff Jarrett
Whoever picked that font needs to be fired
"Scarves are heat" - Certainly works for The MJF!
MJF? Michael J. Fox? Awesome
@@spearpig1034 Maxwell Jacob Friedman. If you aren't aware of him, you should check him out. Relatively new kid that totally gets heel psychology. One of the best I've seen in ages. You can't help but love him for making you hate him, he's that good.
@@deralfenderson I like MJF's heel work. He is like a younger version of The Miz.
@@SuperAttitudeera Right, you have a valid point. MJF has a ton of potential.
MJF is a great egocentric/narcissistic heel on the mic but I truly want to see how his character in AEW will act in the ring.
I had to stop watching after #10 because you immediately lost all credibility with that manufactured "fact."
I can think of another way Jose is better than Lesnar: he actually shows up to work.
He didn't lie though.
How is it manufacturerd if it's true?
Shinsuke lost his mojo when they added lyrics to his Theme.
It was actually kind of awesome when his heel character felt fresh. But refusing to put the title on him killed any credibility his heel turn had.
No, that was awesome
Survivor Series 1988. Masked Blue Blazer Owen Hart is eliminated by Greg Valentine.
Survivor Series 1993. Masked Blue Knight Greg is eliminated by Owen.
I think that's an interesting connection to make.
Curtis Axel is undefeated over Cena and HHH, with two wins over each of them. That's pretty impressive booking, and he's the only one to do that.
Lex Luger was undefeated as the heel Narcissist. His first loss in WWF was by DQ at Wrestlemania 10. Luger had matches against Undertaker and Steiner Brothers in WCW, and they were all on the same team at 1993 Survivor Series.
The 1992 Royal Rumble is one of the only Rumbles that had an action figure for every participant.
Bret Hart has never beaten The Mountie, and he never had a match against Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, William Regal or Chris Jericho.
Ultimate Warrior ended the undefeated streaks of both Mr Perfect and The Undertaker (though neither match was televised). Warrior also eliminated Shawn Michaels from the 1990 Royal Rumble in about 9 seconds.
Rick Rude died on the same day as the Columbine High School tragedy (4-20-99).
Owen Hart and Cesaro are comparable in their multiple tag team title runs with 3 different partners.
4:15 Jericho wore the scarf after Del Rio did.
This is close to bottom of the barrel on “10” lists.
I actually knew about Gangrel's name due to WWF Wrestlemania 2000 for the Nintendo 64. When the game first comes on, it shows the WWF Copyright, then mentions that Gangrel is owned by White Wolf.
This. It used to come up on _WWF Attitude_ on the PlayStation too, and I think on the first _WWF SmackDown_ game or two as well.
Seth Rollins has never left Wrestlemania without a win yet
But he's a also left with a loss on the same night. Lost to Randy Orton at WM 31 bu then cashed in MITB - So technically he left mania with a win, yes... but he's also taken a loss too
Bella Banana and I’m never saying he never lost. But he’s always managed a win
Cody Rhodes is the only wrestler to ever appear at the biggest show of the year for WWE, NJPW,ROH and Impact wrestling in the space of a year. He appeared at Wrestlemania 32, bound for glory 2016, final battle 2016 and wrestle kingdom 10
This should be a series of videos cause your pretty much running out of ideas for top 10 list
Top 10 What Culture Top 10 Lists
It's actually god awful. This was the last straw for me. Unsubbed because of this one.
Sheamus is pretty good though.
Actually, Dx (Billy Gunn and road dogg) beat themselves to win tag team championships as well. I don’t remember where I heard it, but in a match similar to the one we just saw at money in the bank, it was a tornado tag team match where there can only be two people in the ring at a time. Billy Gunn tagged into the match while Road dog was wrestling and then preceded to pin him. Thus having them beat themselves to retain.
The New Age Outlaws won the tag championship from themselves in a Triple Threat tag team match when Billy Gunn pinned Road Dogg.
Nice vid , good job Andy 👍
I’m not Scott Steiner but how is 30 million profit in 98
9 million loss in 99
65 million loss in 2000 equal 95 million dollars?
They went from 30 million up to 65 mill down. Pretty easy
That was a slap to The Undertaker's legacy having him lose at Wrestlemania. I can't believe Vince did that.
Vince didn't do it actually, undertaker was knocked out from so many suplexes and got hurt when brock noticed it he pinned him in order to keep him from getting hurt more.
@@PastorPeewee20 lol, no.
Yeah no the ref would most likely say taker had his shoulder if so and then check on him for a minute then see if they needed to have taker just end the match quicker aka hit a tombstone on him and then 123 taker wanted Brock to win that match
And then your friends shut you down with “I saw this on CZcams too”
you couldn't find any more recent Kevin Owens picture other than the one him holding the UNIVERSAL championship
That vampire role-playing game was made into a short-lived TV show: “Kindred: The Embraced”.
It’s almost impossible to book a 21-0 Wrestlemania streak now because no one sticks with Wwe that long anymore. There’s guys in the company that are definitely capable but it’s not gonna happen
10 Shocking Wrestling Facts You Didn't Know (You WON'T BELIEVE #7!)
Sheamus just needs the IC title to join Edge as the only people to be a grand slam champion along with the "special event grand slam"
The Vampire Warrior is my favorite wrestler in the indie circuit in Oregon
Add Brock to the special event Grand Slam
WCW did not lose 65 million dollars in 2000. Turner knew they were getting rid of the company and because of the AOL merger, they doctored their accounting to make as much of Turner's overall losses appear to be the result of WCW. It's corporate blame shifting.
WCW biggest problem was there never had a TV deal
if we are counting mojo rawley's victory on the wm33 KICKOFF SHOW, then rvd is not undefeated at wm... unless, of course, we can come to an agreement that the kickoff shows and pre-shows are not the same thing
When the new Vampire the Masquerade: Blood Lines 2 comes out, I want to see a stream of Gangrel playing it
Off top of my head , Nash, Jarrett , Steiner, Booker T all did all three big 3s im sure that list can go on
WCW turnover - quick maths:
1998: +$30M
1999: -$9M
2000: -$65M
Add that all up and they lost $44M in 3 financial years, not $95M as you claimed. No idea where you got that from given the evidence you stated
Don’t disrespect Sheamus,. He’s a legend.
The big show was given his name because it was TBS which aired WCW
When did Vince Russo appear on WWE TV?
Also Jeff Jarrett has wrestled at Mania, BFG and Starrcade
Russo was never champ xD
Ryan McLean they meant wrestlers who have faced each other at the events, there’s plenty who have ‘appeared’ on all 3. Tbh even Sting v Hogan is pushing it as it was only interference at Mania....
He was on WWF Livewire a few times. Also, on the Billionaire Ted skits.
Late ‘97-Early ‘98 he appeared on-screen as on of Vince’s lawyers, or something to do with Sable and Luna. I can’t remember.
As stupid as it was that David Arquette won the WCW title, everyone is still talking about it two decades later. It kind of validates the whole thing in a weird way.
4:21 “Before him”? Didn’t Del Rio wear scarves before Jericho did in WWE? I think that time Del Rio debuted around 2010(?) he already wore scraves while Jericho’s not wearing any entrance attire aside from his ring gear. (Then he wore a light up jacket in his return. Then a scarf years later during his “List” gimmick.)
It was already mentioned several times that Del Rio was a Mexican version of JBL. How in the blue hell was Y2J first to come up with the scarf thing?
WOW!!! I can't believe you were able to find that out about Gangrel....I mean, to us fans of both Wrestling AND RPG's (live action and table top) knew where it came from.
To me it's not that "crazy" or "surprising". What shocked me is that he used something other than "Dracula" and/or something from "Interview with a Vampire" for his name....and for his "group's" name (The Brood)
(And BTW, if you think about it Wrestling is kinda like a live action RPG and we actually are able to play along because the "fans" are "characters" and how we act/react shows what type of "fan" we want to be in the game....I mean it...just think about it....)
If we’re counting WWE starrcade then you can include AJ Styles and Bobby Roode on that list of 3 too
Vampire the Masquerade actually owns the copyright to the word Gangrel. WWE had to get permission to use the name on media and publications
I might be wrong about this, but....
Raven is the only person to win a title in wwe, wcw, ecw, and nwa.
kind of like the third fact. I think Chris Jericho is the only person who has competed at Starcade, Wrestlemania, and Wrestle Kingdom. I realized this a while ago and i'm trying to think of anyone else whos done it. also not, I'm not counting the January Tokyo dome shows NJPW put on before officially calling it Wrestle Kingdom
I heard Vince paid a lot of money to use the name Gangrel in the WWE
Gangrel recently gained legal rights to it, though. I'm hoping this might increase his appearances in the games since 2K and/or WWE would no longer need to pay royalties for it.
del rio wore scarves before jericho
RVD lost his tag title match with Kane at WrestleMania 19 even on heat I still count that as a loss at Mania so he sadly isn’t undefeated at Mania
Nakamura's old njpw theme is better than rising sun
Number 9 is one of like, the most common facts out there for people who watch things like this. I'm still watching, but if one of these is "Hulk Hogan did a couple of movies." I won't be surprised. or shocked.
Here's a fact for you this year WrestleMania was the 35th Anniversary of WrestleMania and Seth Rollins as never left WrestleMania without a win
This year was the 34th anniversary of Wrestlemania... ;)
@@Somnogenesis yes technically is is the 34th anniversary since wrestlemania premiered in msg in 1984. What he means is is the 35th consecutive year of wretlemania
Do more of these
funny, how many shocking things you didnt know lists still pop up - and i still watch them....
I was a fan of Gangrel because I used to play World of Darkness/Vampire pen n paper RPG at that time. So for a nerd like me that wasn't new ^.^
And I bet Mark Rein-Hagen ( the creator of the RPG ) was glad to get some extra money for the usage of that name.
I remember the miz had a WM streak at one point then lost for the first time in a freakin pre-show match
What's up with all the horrible quality title transitions? Looks like something weird happened in editing.
Just realized Brock Lesnar joined Edge and Sheamus in the special event grand slam winners shortly after this video was posted.
No Way Jose/Brock Lesnar comparison is just beyond stupid. Lesnar works part time, and only works big programs and doesnt wrestle live tv. No Way Jose winning a bunch of untelevised matches against other below mid carders doesnt mean shit when hes not on tv.
Gangrel, that explains why they always credited his name when he appeared
The fact is whatculture wrestling just wasted everbody time including ther own
WhatCulture - Why would you use a picture of Animal twice instead of Animal and Hawk? I know that Hawk has passed on, but no way do we see Animal team up with Animal?
Edge should've that next winning streak at WM if it wasn't for Ken Kennedy winning the MITB at WM23 then losing it to Edge after.
There were more wrestlers who wrestled (or showed up) to WWE,WCW, and TNA Impact's biggest PPV'S. Ric Flair ,Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Mick Foley. There could be more
We're Live Pal! It wasn’t about that. It was a pairing of two wrestlers at those shows.
Hence why they explained Hulk & Sting having matches against each other at Starcade & BfG, and then being part of the same match at Mania.
They shouldve never killed the streak
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Seth Rollins undefeated at Wrestlemania? From what I can recall, he won with the Shield at 30, cashed-in and won the WWE World Heavyweight title at 31, beat HHH at 33, won the IC title at 34, and now the WWE Universal title at 35?
He lost against Randy at mania 32.
31* my bad xD
@@punshleemani4849 oh yeah, I forgot about that
Odd scenario time what if nakamura got the glorious song would roode have gotten the 1% gimmick instead of ec3 I think Bobby would fit perfectly in that gimmick
Mordecai’s gimmick was stolen of a caw from an n64 tournament
RVD just needs 20 losses and he'll be set..
5:28 Ever heard of Al Snow?
Simon Whistler with another Biographic.
1 wrestling fact of whatculture wrestling: too many ads
You forgot about Bray Wyatt Wrestlemania losing streak(0-4).
The original WCW World Championship was around Ric Flairs waist during his ENTIRE WWF run back during Flairs 1st run with Vince (thx to Jim Herd being an idiot!)
Facts from Snapple.
My boy sheamus a GOAT thats why
Shit... It's an "Andy"... I was looking forward to this one.
Why does everyone use that red WCW logo??! That is 100% a WWE creation and was never once used by WCW themselves before the buyout.
Uh mojo was in the 34 memorial battle Royale
Ok how many pro titles did no TV time Jose win? How many legends has he actually wrestled and beat? Lawl
Where Booker T's music originally came from.
Wouldn't the weirdest title win be when the Freebirds won the titles _after_ they lost them in WCW?
Mojo is 1-1
Mojo lost in New Orleans in Andre giant battle royal
Alberto was wearing scarves before Jericho.
Demolition lost to tenyru and kabuki at wm7 so they're not undefeated, although ax is as it was smash and crush that lost.
1:13 dexter Lumis???
Mojo Rawly baby!
Del rio wore a scarf before Jericho
