That guy's reaction after brock lesnar beat Undertaker never gets old. I remember that was literally me when i saw that live.
Taker vs Brock I was there and it was silent the only noise was me yelling out " I Called it!!!!"
Why do you always gotta make things about yourself Shawn
Me too. I was in complete disbelief
i ran and told my mom when it happened lol
That is the moment that I stopped watching WWE after being a lifelong fan.
according to Koloff, he thought he just loss his hearing for a few minutes but didn't realize the crowd was stunned
The one that shocked me was Eddie Guerrero’s heart attack in the ring. Seeing D-Von yelling at him to see what was happening, to JBL doing a pinfall to make the medical run in there…frightening
He lost so much blood after Judgement Day
@@dannyhipolito817 an insane amount
Pretty sure that was scripted
@@camboyz3230
It was 100% at this Time. Smackdown back then was taped and there is no way they would have showed that in TV.
@@camboyz3230 obviously. Or are you replying to the first 2 comments?
The Streak ending is FOREVER going to be the most shocking moment. I was in complete disbelief.
Couldn't believe it didn't last forever. Couldn't believe Brock was the one. Couldn't believe how someone could book it to end. So many levels of disbelief.
@@Parragon77 it was meh at best, no one even started to GAF about it until Orton's Legend Killer gimmick. Then it got overhyped as hell. If they wanted REAL intrigue, go to 2008, have a mania match with Taker and Cena in an I Quit match.
One of Vince’s biggest mistakes. That streak should’ve never ended.
Really? Why have a streak in scripted work if not to end the streak at some point?
@@yurmabeechaudits3522 Would've been a more legendary run if he remained undefeated. Didn't even use it to pass a torch or anything. Does it make sense having a streak to let a part-timer with limited time left beat it? Undertaker was worse of and Brock was already huge. Now THAT is pointless.
I was there when the streak ended, you could literally hear a pen drop. It was insane
My homeboys went to WM XXX. They said the moment the refs hand hit three. The crowd went dead silent, and half of the audience left😂
Lol if I was there I would have been silent for a few minutes then would have been like and done *leaves arena*
Even Vince left the building after the match
that's not true. I was there and that place was electric.
Cody wrestling with a torn pec, in Hell in a Cell of all match types, earned him respect from the entire wrestling industry.
The crowd went quiet enough to hear a Penny drop when Cody took his jacket off.
I still have no idea how he was able to actually "wrestle" with that bad of an injury. incredible. I had already respected him, but that somehow kicked it up a notch.
that match alone, is what is going to get him Reign's title.
That match earned him a world title run
@@bigdonald123 and people are still tryna act like Sami is Daniel fucking Bryan and needs to be invovled
Its STILL unbelievable to this day that the streak actually ended
Bro I was at mania 30 when I tell you I was absolutely speechless and shook I went home so defeated that night 😂
@@geezydolla Man
It's believable.
@@fromearth3286 Not to me
@@hunte5748 then it's your problem, it happened and acting all shock when someone mentions streak is complete stupidity.
Undertaker's streak ending was so shocking that even the guys that was supposed to play Brock's music didn't until some minutes had seriously passed.
The scene from Lita. I believe there was a documentary somewhere saying they were hesitant to go through that script since it sound brutal. But Lita told Vince or producer that is ok and she ok to go through with it
Still very brutal scene and props for Lita taking all that chair hit
Major props....that ain't ever happening again in any promotion..
Bruh that shit was wild
Yeah it was uncomfortable.
Too much. Too phony.
@@willejones1918read the room jackass. It's RASSLIN' Everyone knows it scripted. It still doesn't stop it from being entertaining.
I bet you're fun at movies too. Did you sit through 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' saying, "t0o MuCh, To0 pHoNy😤."
Honorable mention goes to Royal Rumble 2009 where Matt Hardy turned on Jeff. To this day, it's still one of the definitive moments in history where no one saw it coming.
How old were you?
No one saw that coming? It was obvious that they were going to start feuding one way of another
Mad respect for mentioning Bruno Sammartino. Its crazy despite having such a long reign hes not discussed often. Sorta makes sense in ways but i really wasnt expecting that entry
The streak ending left me shocked, pissed off and speechless
It shouldn’t have ended
Dude I was there that shit was unreal
It should have ended with HHH or HBK
@@jeremiahdelafuente4230 he should’ve retired at 20-0 perfect way to end his career the matches after that were mid
@@trynamakegainz yeah his last good matches was the 2 with Shawn Michaels and the 1 with CM Punk, he did have great matches with Edge the one year and Randy Orton the other year... Triple H matches were actually bad wrestling matches, but good brawls...
Look at all the publicity it got. Everyone was talking about it. It was best for business to end it and Brock was the only person at the time who could break it convincingly
To this day, I still believe the Undertaker's streak should have been ended by a younger wrestler who needed the win to rocket him to the top. At the time, Brock was (and still is) a part time, special attraction wrestler who didn't need that win.
The problem is everyone that was credible, besides Brock lesnar, didn't want to end the streak. Kane, Triple H, Edge, Michaels, orton, they all declined to do so. If taker beat these guys, who else Was more credible to get the win other than a guy (lesnar) who never lost to undertaker prior to this match?
Why would undertaker lose the streak to a rookie , Randy orton was the most favoured and lost in his legend killer days . BROCK was the perfect guy with enough status with the wwe
@@valentinomcphee8227 Randy Orton was originally booked to beat the Undertaker in their Wrestlemania match, but he turned it down out of respect for the Undertaker. Same with Edge.
Hey Steve .We're on the same page😀
Sorry but at that time, no one was worthy. I wish it was Bray but we all know how crappy Vince handled him, right? That's why it's not going to be convincing if ever.
The stunned silence and the look on the fans faces when the undertakers streak was ended by brock lesnar, i had that same stunned silence and look on my face 😲
You know a moment is intense when even an ECW crowd is quiet
Lita took chair shots like a hall of famer.
It's ironic the audience stayed quiet when Austin beat the hell out of Lita since they also stayed quiet when he actually beat the hell out of his wife.
There are also people that praise Austin for what happened with Debra when they bash Owen for the piledriver at Summerslam & say he got what he deserved at Over the Edge.
Austin beating Lita was Predictive Programming for what happened with Debra.
Either it was all staged.
Or Austin was just following orders from Rome.
Because you don't tell the Vatican "No."
Something JFK found out the hard way.
You are right about the streak breaking. I remember exactly where I was and how I felt. I was with my brother and my grandpa. I was probably 12 or so and my jaw dropped. Even my grandpa who wasn't really that big of a fan couldn't believe it. It was truly shocking. I went to WrestleMania 29 where Taker beat CM Punk and I didn't realize that I just witnessed the last Undertaker WrestleMania win with the streak still alive.
Sooooo, you believe a streak written into a script would be written to last forever? What would be the point?
@Yur Ma Beech Audits bro, I was 12, grown men couldn't believe it. Most people didn't think Taker would lose.
@@yurmabeechaudits3522 dude. Take the "well aktualy" glasses off
It was surprising itself that Jinder Mahal was even in a wwe world championship against randy orton let alone ending up winning😂
It was a move just to please Indian audience but I'm sure his title run as a champion was better and more relevant than a lot of reigns after 2017
As surprised as I was for jinder winning the belt, what surprised me more was how they booked him so strong for a while after that then he dropped the belt to aj and they basically wrote him off TV for a bit afterwards
11:51 That dude's reaction WM30 would go on to become one of the iconic WWE Universe moments(and Memes) of all time.
Frankly, I'm surprised you didn't mention Owen Hart's death at Over the Edge in 1999. For those who don't remember, he was doing a gimmick at the time as the Blue Blazer where he would descend from the rafters into the ring (similar to a bit that Sting was doing in WCW at the time). At the PPV, he was supposed to drop to the ring for a match against The Godfather. He was supposed to lower just above the ring, act like he was entangled and then land on his face to comedic effect. While being lowered, though, he unintentionally triggered an early release, fell 78 feet, landing on a rope chest first, flipping him into the ring.
None of this was shown on TV because a pre-taped segment was showing instead. When it did cut back to the arena, he was being worked on by doctors in the ring and Jim Ross repeatedly told viewers that this was NOT a wrestling angle and you could see that Jerry Lawler had no words to say either. Sadly, Hart ended up dying from his injuries.
The crowd's reactions to this are still indescribable. It's one thing to see a person lose a match that you hoped would win. That's disappointing but it's all part of the business and, as fans, we know that's how storylines go. Likewise, it's a thing to see beloved wrestlers be "injured" in the ring. Once again, we know that is scripted and we know that it was written for Hennig to turn on Flair and injure him. Flair was prepared for it and was never truly hurt.
It's an entirely OTHER matter to see anyone literally DIE in the ring. That's why JR had to keep telling viewers that this was NOT scripted or a stunt. After years of seeing bits similar to it, we would first think "Owen will recover and he'll do another match next seeking revenge for his 'accident' or something like that" but, sadly, that was not going to happen. What is even more controversial (and still is to this day) is that, even with Owen Hart (a wrestler well liked not just by fans but by fellow wrestlers) dying, Vince still carried on with the show. Jeff Jarrett (who was a very close friend of Owen and the entire Hart family) had to be literally shoved through the curtain for his match. Yeah, they did a lovely tribute show to him the next night on Raw but that still didn't change the fact that the PPV asked audiences to enjoy other matches even after just seeing a man die.
I think at this point, we should be asking why McMahon insisted on using that sail boat clip instead of either scrapping the idea, or using proper safety harnesses designed for stunts like that.
Exactly. That should have been number 1 on this list.
But then again, he thought lita was actually being brutally beaten. So I'm not surprised.
I was at WM 30 that night. What you felt at home was a fraction of how the wind was taken out of the Superdome. We looked at each other for in shock and honestly thought it was a botched count by the ref.
for me is the last seconds of Jordan Devlin Vs Walter at OTT WrestleRama2, Devlin raising the hand while he was feading away with the sleeper hold making every one cheering for their hero and then BOOM a fast piledriver from Wlater for the pin fall and new champ, all that noise for the fans goes into silence, awesome vid as always.
The Streak moment is what tops it for me. I remember sitting at home having the exact same reaction as the people that were in attendance.
I remember watching the Brock Lesnar Vs Undertaker with my grandma and I couldn't believe it. I laughed till I saw the guy in the white t-shirt, that's when it hit me that it was real.
I was in shock when Roman Reigns announced he had Lukemia. Had no idea.
Paul Heyman wouldn't shut his mouth for weeks after the streak ended. Was totally annoying
Well, running his mouth is what Heyman gets paid to do lol
Even Green shirt guy stopped smiling when the Undertaker’s streak was broken
Being there at Hell in a Cell at the main event I still remember how quiet it was for a few seconds
The look on Randy's face at 5:38 after tossing the Singh brother on his head lol.
Cody Rhodes Vs Seth Rollins inside hell in a cell earlier this year was such an amazing match I can't wait for Cody to return from injury and let's see what he does now under Triple H this is going to be very interesting.
Man you deserve more subscribers, your videos are awesome and creative. Keep it up dude!
I was in the dome the night Lesner broke the streak. Ill never forget the confused silence after the bell rang. I've been in that building many times and I've never experienced that before. I legit thought it was an accident, like taker was actually unconscious and unable to kick. 75,000 people in that room and we could all hear Heyman yelling "o my god!" Lol
Wow! That was pretty shocking. Almost nine years ago... only Taker, Lesnar, Vince McMahon, and Stephanie knew that the Streak would end (they never told Paul Heyman about it, though). Even Lesnar didn't want this to happen, and he seemed upset when he did. After the Streak was over, Taker would still move on to get four more wins and another loss, this time by then 31-year-old Roman Reigns, who had been battling leukemia for years. After all this time since Taker's retirement in November 2020, all I can say is... Thank you, Taker. You're the best.
Roman laying that belt down breaks my heart every time! People forget that Romans leukemia can come back at ANY time and he has to live with that that's why he'll always be my wrestling hero! And I truly mean it when I say he's one of a kind!
Seth's face when he comes out to hug Roman is so heartbreaking. That is the look of a man who sees that there's a very high chance his best friend is would die and he would never see him again.
You're so right Maggie😀
8:19 "you could hear a pin drop"
Random fan: "YOU STILL SUCK"
I'm sure that the actual accident of Owen Hart may have had the crowd silenced and worried in RAW.
Cody's pec was bad, you could hear the crowd go "😬😬" at the sight of it
I hate how the modern WWE requires you to hit your finisher a minimum of 7 times to get a pin fall.
Yeah, ngl they kinda need to stop calling them Finishers at this point
And people wonder why Brett hated Vince, not even how he lost to Shawn M. (montreal screwjob) , but look at how he lost the belt here, to who and 9 mins in a choke just to have his mom throw in the towel? Horrible treatment and script. Appreciate the work @wrestling flashback Keep up the vids, great work!
Backlund was one of the greatest technical wrestlers of all time, and it made sense for what was going on at the time in terms of booking and rating. Bret had enough backstage power to change the outcome if he wanted
Bret losing the belt to backlund was fine, as the real feud/story was about the rivalry between him and Owen. IIRC Bret would win the belt back at WM10 and later face Owen that the 1994 SummerSlam.
Get the fans to be silent is either an astounding thing or a disappointing thing. It's wild.
Two days ago - Samy loosing in Montreal...
Never heard a louder silence in wrestling history beside the end of the streak
I was waiting for Bruno koloff nice way to end video
Kevin Nash recently told a story about them performing overseas for the troops and Undertaker had broken his ribs but finished the tour anyway wearing a flak jacket under his vest to mitigate some pain.
I don't know if anyones taken a bump - any bump - but they almost always rattle ribs. Now imagine your ribs are broken. Jesus.
What about Cena Vs Lensar Summerslam match. Audience was silent seeing the dominance of Lesnar.
When the streak ended I remember afterwards I was sat staring into nothingness, not believing what I just saw
I think the most shocking think to me is that I've seen every one of these moments live on TV. Crazy. Ha.
3:30 stone cold pretty good at beating womyn tbh lmao frfrfrfr
Outlaw Ron Bass cutting open Brutus Beefcake was a shocker for me
I was there when Brock beat Taker at WM 30. You could literally hear a PIN drop. I remember almost fainting. It was surreal
5 Years later and the reigns Leukemia announcement still makes me tear up
Not only did they not announce that Koloff won nor did they present him with the belt, he just left after the bell rang because back in the territory days, if fans threatened to riot then they made good on that promise. The closest comparison in modern times to Bruno losing the belt after 7 years was the streak ending at WMXXX.
Silence is all I’ve heard from audiences for years
Streak shouldn’t have ever been broken. Defiantly not by lesnar
I remember the moment that Jake The Snake Roberts DDT'd Ricky The Dragon Steamboat on bare concrete. Wow! That was bloody and shocking.
People overlook how loved Ricky was, JTS became the biggest heel in the company with that move
As an Undertaker die hard.. There will always be apart of me that’s a bit butt hurt that he never got one good clean decisive win against Lesnar.. especially after losing the streak, their Summer Slam match should’ve been a shoe in win for Taker but they went with that weird pseudo double turn with Undertaker of all people resorting to a Low Blow.. Then they blew the feud off in a pretty meh Cell match with Lesnar winning AGAIN.. That just never made sense to me.
Lasner beating the streak was the most shocking moment. Even i hated it so much back then, i cant imagine an other endling like this. If a newcomer would beat undertaker, everyone would expect that, but nobody saw that coming
WrestleMania XXX is where our childhood ended
What's the general consensus on takers streak being broken? Was it right or wrong of WWE to make that call? I feel him remaining undeafeted would of been best, but I guess the shock value will always be remembered.
I always felt Ambrose was trying to be pushed to be a Steve Austin Clone...
I still think undertaker losing to Brock was a dumb idea.
The *BIGGEST* 😑😑😡😡😠😠
I watched the Survivor Series 94 live on PPV. I was very concerned about Bret Hart but it was also a very boring part of the match
I remember that night at War Games and the week following. Yeah, they sold the Ric Flair injury very well. The next week televised show, it was either Nitro or Thursday night Thunder, they opened the show with a headshot of Flair lying on a hospital gurney with a cone or funnel sticking out of his nose (I guess it was supposed to be his ventilator). 😂😂 They made it look like he was being prepared for surgery or something. And they made the tone sound so somber as to seen like Flair died from his head being smashed between the cage steel door.
The Streak ending is an event I called “The What Heard Around the World”.
Nah they left out 3 events bigger than all of this. 1. The screw jobby McMahon on Bret Hart that made him brawl backstage and leave WWF for years after. 2. Shane McMahons splash from 50feet by stage entrance that gave him a concussion 3. Mick Foleys failed jump from the top of the cage on Undertaker
Owen was sadly bigger than all 3 of those, the entire night was done in 1 second
America where a person placed on a cross is considered worse than a school shooting
"That quiet Japanese heat" 🤣 idk why that's so funny to me
Like the undertaker I don’t remember that match to this day 🤷🏾♂️. I wiped that memory from my brain. As far as I’m concerned the undertaker is still 21-0.
Also me: I remember jumping ship to watch tna for a bit because at the time they were treating their fans much better than the WWE 😏😏
Does anyone know what the first sound (b4 the the narration even start) originate from? It sounds so familiar, but I can't figure it out...
When Andre tossed around the midgets...that was always fun...
Honourable mention: HBK kicking out of Taker's Tombstone at Mania 25 in their epic encounter
*I was there at HIAC when Cody revealed his injury you can feel the air in the arena thin out and most of the crowd was concerned most of the match*
Bold makes this comment more important
That dude's reaction to the Undertaker losing his streak is wild. Lol Looks like he bet the house and... 🤦🏿♂️
Imagine when Jon Jones takes his first legit loss, it's gonna be the same thing. XD
Lita has been my idol my whole life...I watched her take that beating live from Austin and Triple H. It was hard to watch...
I am Indian, South African Indian... however when Randy dropped the title to Mahal I genuinely stopped following wrestling religiously..
I can’t believe CZcams added this time stamp feature lmao🤣😁 3:49
I would have raised that title up and started the riot😂😂
Watching Stone Cold beat up Lita, is pretty messed up given what happened between him and Debra
Yeah I think he beat Debra with a chair and stunnered her 🙄😂
@@dildobaggins8987 No, he just beat the living shit out of her, leaving her swollen and bruised, ran away before the police could arrive, and later pleaded no contest when charged with domestic abuse. Was Stone Cold Steve Austin a cool character and important to the history of wrestling? Yes. Was the man behind him, Steven James Anderson, a man who beat his wife? Unfortunately, also yes
@@frodijr “ever living shit out of her” do you genuinely know that? Do you know if it was a domestic dispute and then both being drunk etc? I just think by reading your comments you’re getting a bit emotional/sensational on behalf of somebody you’ve never met or don’t even know the full story regarding. Is beating a woman out of nowhere good? No. I know a lot of relationships that have resulted in physical confrontation though….would I liken it to a fucking wrestling match? 😭😂 come on mate. Just relax and don’t be so drummed up to be a victim or see the world as victim/abusers
They seemed to be fairly careful with her. Most of the moves hardly connected. It's not like they actually pummeled her. Besides it's her job. I'm sure she didn't get too hurt from it
I like how Paul Heyman said, after Kurt Angle left, they did a Stone Cold crucifixion, and he alluded to Kurt taking the idea to WWE.
The lita thing wasn’t bad. People just weren’t ready for it
5:37 Orton’s reaction is priceless😭
Edge returning in the 2021 royal rumble always leaves me in tears.
The Lita spot was done to get Austin heat after turning heel. Neither of which worked because the crowd didn't want to boo their hero, Austin.
For personally the hanging of Big Bossman was so much over top. I mean i like it but seriously that is something else. I could imagine people calling the police to arrest Undertaker for murder.
I'm surprised that when Owen Hart falling from the rafters and passing away didn't make it on the list. Absolutely crazy and terrible. Our entertainment should never come at the expense of someone's life. I know it happened during a PPV just don't remember which one...how that didn't make the list at number one is odd and makes list void
On the last clip, I paused the video for a second and was thinking to myself, "was prince albert the one to defeat Bruno Samartino?"😯 he looked like Koloff.
As I said on another comment section Joe A /Roman Rains played for my GaTech Yellowjackets 😀I met him .He was a cool dude .
His stardom makes me proud😀.
2 honorable mentions:
In the late 90's in WCW, Ric flair has a heart attack on a live broadcast of Monday nitro.
On Smackdown live (in the past 5 years), Brock Lesnar, in MMA fashion, busts open Randy Orton.
U missed the moment when the Great Khali crushes Reys Head
Undertaker asking J.R "is that because you're better than me?"
More scared for JR just hearing that, over Kane setting him on fire😂
That guy in the white shirt that had the jaw dropped shocked face when Taker lost at Mania 30. It was the perfect reaction to what had happened on that night and appropriate. When I first watched it I was just sad that they really did that to the Deadman. Brock didn't need or nor did he deserve the win
When taker lose I just stand up in shock
I literally cried when undertakers streak was broken, I hated Brock for years, I went straight into my room cause it hurt that bad I refused to even to this day ever watch that wrestlemania ever again
Just wait when they say the same thing about Jon Jones lol.
@@The-Black-Death who-???
@@SoulZERO15 That's what they're gonna say alright. XD
Surprised the nexus debut wasn't on this list, it's probably the quietest I've ever seen the crowd after the undertaker match.
The broken streak was a shit match. Good striking exchange at the beginning, but after that, it was just a boring Finisher showcase. Maybe they had to do it that way because of 'taker's injury, but he deserved a more epic loss than just getting F5'd repeatedly.
Never mind that The Undertaker was well past his prime by then.
Why was the ECW crucifixion made out to be such a big, shocking deal when didn’t the undertaker do similar stuff through the years? I guess the difference was the level of brutality, but I never got how it was so insane amidst the sea of ECW insanity.
I remember when the Undertaker locked Ultimate Warrior in a casket on Paul Bearer's Funeral Parlor.
I never watched WWE after the streak was ended.
One of the best fan reaction was Miz girl
They was tearin lita up damn 😂😂😂
