Always :)
Shocking
You could of said this in the beginning of showing the video especially showing those monkey pics like come on!! Or at least blur it out!! But whatever just shows it I guess not like you'll change it
If any of this triggers anyone they need backbone insertion surgery.
Are you fucking serious? If you're going to go as far as to leave a trigger warning on your video, put it IN THE VIDEO. Why would you leave it in a comment posted TWO WHOLE HOURS after the video itself? Could you imagine doing that for an epilepsy warning? Ridiculous
the fact that there have been so many scandals that there can be a list of 10 that we FORGOT about is so sad.
Yeah, and it's still counting
pro wrestling was started by carnies and they are not the best of people wrestling is changing but there are still bad people involved in the industry
Forgot hell I never knew about any of these
10 outta how many from other entertainments?
There are scandals in every business. Not just wrestling.
Some of these should be episodes of "Dark Side Of The Ring".
Chris Adams is dark side of the ring and the guy who killed him is in it
Chris Adam and Cheif Don Eagle are cases they should take look on. It definitely will be wildly entertaining.
I thought that show got canned
@@breazy832Season 5 will air soon, so nope.
@@breazy832WWE bought it from what I read so they can control what they do
Ian Rotten is like if ECW-era Paul Heyman was an actual meth addicted homeless man with a history of domestic abuse.
Ian tried getting mouthy with New Jack once and New Jack cooked him.
@@ThomasBoyce5000their both POS
Wtf Patrice O’Neil was a writer for wwe that’s crazy. What a legend man rip
I forgot that too
Yo I came to the comments to write that same thing. I had no idea. My homie and I were just cracking up last night about Patrice's "the way football used to be" set. Such a legend. RIP
@@saywhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatthe Hindu obstacle course is my favorite
Patrice goes into detail on Opie and Anthony back in their heyday . Rip Patrice !!!!
@@saywhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatmy favorite bit of his right there! 😂😂😂
I actually remember Partrice talking about that. He was begging McMahon to change the gimmick because his family was getting pissed, which McMahon came back with in his best Vince voice "Shut up and put on the turbin!"
Honestly, knowing how shameless and brash Vince can get, I'm amazed he didn't throw in a slur at the end, there... then again, maybe he did and it was just left out of the quote. idk... it IS VINCE...
crazy that people keep bringing back the dragon gate monkey story nowadays while conveniently forgetting that akira tozawa was one of the guys involved.
👀
it is what it is, i'm just saying
@@stevenb427nah lol tozawa was a prime suspect and was definitely in the line up of shaved heads. they were all complicit but ryoma got thrown under the bus.
Shingo Takagi as well
Tbf pretty much anyone who worked for dragon gate during that time period was likely aware of what was going on behind the scenes even if they didn't take part in the abuse, which implicates a lot of big name wrestlers
@@elcactusdelamuerte506 nope, he was speculated but it was proven. whether the whole locker room and dojo was aware is less clear than you're implying also bc último dragón had a pretty big operation going on while he was usually away to wrestle shows.
10:17 Chris Adams, Geno Hernandez, and the Von Erick brothers? That's a whole collection of scandals and tragedies in one ring.
Those are huge stories that still gets talked about today. But it's been talked about so many times. What more do you want people to say?
@@criminalmindsgirl2936 I wasn't suggesting they say anything on the others. Just making an observation.
Patrice O’Neal was on the creative team?!?! WTF? Why am I just now finding out about this
The animal abuse legit got my blood boiling.
Why are white people chill when humans gets murked but when its animals all hell gets loose?
WHY DIDNT KEEPING HUMANS CAPTIVE DO THAT learn to have empathy hurting a single monkey isnt worse then keeping multiple women captive
I bet you eat meat too do you??
@@kenrickeason what does one have to do with the other?
@kenrickeason calm down Karen.
I never knew Patrice O'Neal was a writer for wwf. R.I.P.
I always wondered what happened to Tiger Ali Singh. Just up and disappeared one day, thanks for the new info! I'll give it a like just for that fact.
Wasn't he a bit of a jobber, so I just assumed he was released or went to another company.
The Singh Family do a lot of Annual Christmas Charity events in their hometown and are big Community fundraisers and are very community pro active with raising money and donating to schools and such .
I had no idea about Art Barr's past.
I remember Eddie Guerrero speaking so highly of Art in his book 'cheating death, stealing life'.
For anyone that doesn't know, Eddie and Art were tag team partners in Mexico and Art used to do the frog splash as his finisher. Once he passed, Eddie started doing it as a tribute to him.
Kinda gives Eddie weird energy to support a guy who admitted to raping a 19 year old.
They also don’t mention how Barr’s story ended…
I think Art Barr would make a great dark side of the ring episode tbh
Eddie knew Art. You didn't, mark.
If he didn't passed away, Art may have been part of the generation of guys that went from Mexico to ECW to WCW to WWE. Guys like Jericho, Guerrero, Benoit, and Mysterio. That is unless he would have been cancelled again in WCW.
The Mike Levy incident makes me sick. Those involved should absolutely have been charged with assault. I remember all that around when it happened, and everyone was furious.
The worst part about the Mike Levy incident is that there wasn't a positive way out of it.
Mike would've had to reject being pushed onto the card by the forums he cared so much about.
The wrestlers in the back would've needed to basically take him down due to needing to protect him from himself; if he didn't keep getting up, it wouldn't have escalated. If it didn't escalate, it wouldn't have ended like it did.
And someone definitely helped to rile up the boys in the back, against the "guy who couldn't sell for shit, and was only there because he was popular on the Internet, instead of being like (some) of them and working hard to hone his craft." They're to blame, too. Even the people on the forums who got Mike motivated enough to give it a try are to blame for this. It's just a shame nobody took the blame by the end...
Early in the match, Levy was selling; Moose refused to sell for him tho. Instead she just started trying to actually hurt him, so the guy was just taking it and trying to prove he was tough enough to be there. Rotten and the locker room took it waaay too far and easily could have killed that guy. On the Mic, Rotten said the guy busted Mickie s head when she had to perform on TNA later in the week; so why book her in a damned death match tournament?
POS
Let’s not forget, Mike Levy is autistic
Yes he, and the rest who attacked Levy are
Great point 😮
I can almost guarantee they would've justified her being in the tournament as "a way to get (more) eyes on her before her match."
Probably why she was set to fight Levy: Thought he'd be easy pickings to beat up, pin, n' toss him out. "Thanks for coming, c'ya."
Jesus that the monkey gate story made me so angry, I can’t imagine the amount of abuse she received, and the only reason the people involved showed remorse for their horrible actions was because they got caught!
Nobody ever wants to talk about the WCW discrimination lawsuits that paid out $1 million or more to plaintiffs, it's just Russo bad but he wasn't the only one mentioned.
Flair, Arn, DDP, Kanyon, Hogan, Bischoff, Doug Dillinger, Ed Ferrara, and others were mentioned in that lawsuit and not in a positive way. It was so rampant that Turner had no choice but to settle.
Sunny onoo got a lot of that money from dubya see dubya
Every time Bobby Heenan saw Onita on TV, he would point and repeat “And that’s the motherf-- who broke my neck!”
May I just point out that if Ontia said he slept with 20,000 women today, that would amount to 1 per day, every day, since he was 12 years old.
If you gonna lie with numbers, at least crunch them first to make em sound real
You know it's possible that you can sleep with multiple women per day
Tell that to wilt chamberlain
@@therealme8783 he'd have to do THAT practically every day when you consider that he said this some time in the past, and likely didn't start at age 12
There may have been threesomes or foursomes or it could be more than one a day.
@@JouvaMoufette if he slept with about 5 women per day, it would take a little over ten years to reach that number. Not likely but still possible
Anyone who purposefully abuses an animal should be put in jail for 20 years
Disagree. That length is too short.
@@multiyapples damn straight !
Also it starts with animals and eventually moves on to killing people.
@@gravitykat714 aka Manson
No, should be less than 18 years - it's just a "minor" incident after all 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome Kong Vs Bubba The Love Sponge From TNA back In 2010 or 2011
Double J didn’t sing his own songs!
Jeff Jarrett broke 6000 guitars and never drew a dime
@@breazy832Jeff Jarrett was possibly the greatest entertainer in the history of entertainment. What does your comment even mean?
Shootout to Adam and his FR winter of mixed drinks tee. You've great taste Adam
"The Juicer" really?
Hardbody Harrison maybe the most dense wrestler in history.
Jericho mentions in his book that Harrison was always suggesting weird things to get a push, such as making himself the black version of Sting, named “Stang”.
Unless you're Robin Williams on Law and Order SVU, representing yourself NEVER works
The monkey story really got to my nerves, I feel real sorry for the poor Kora
“…in front of the [Dragon Gate] dojo was a pet monkey chained to a tree who we were told was the Dragon Gate mascot. Whenever we’d walk by, he would scream loudly, throw rocks at us, and angrily perform continuous backflips. I was terrified of that monkey and knew that something was off with it. Eventually, it would come out some time after we were done touring Japan for Dragon Gate that some of the wrestlers were terrorizing and torturing that poor monkey, and as a sign of shame several wrestlers shaved their heads and publicly apologized for committing animal cruelty. It was terribly disappointing, especially in Japan, a country and culture that prides itself on respectable behavior outside the ring”-Matt Jackson, *Killing The Business*
Sure thing 🤡
@@corybowman9583 ?
10:13 And the Original Trainer of Stone Cold Steve Austin
And Austin later married Adams' ex-wife.
@@dhenderson1810 Upon further research, I don't believe her and Adams married, as most sources refer to them as being boyfriend and girlfriend when they were together, she did marry Billy Jack Haynes before Austin, who is currently going through his own set of troubles. I found that interesting.
Season 5 for Dark Side Of The Ring is out
Cultaholic: Quick! Give them ideas for season 6!
Rest in peace to those that passed away.
The animal abuse case really boiled my blood 🤬.....how can someone mistreat and abuse an innocent life whether it's human or not. They should have gotten prison time for that
I commented on the pinned post with some thing like this comment and some mouth breathing knuckle dragger commented back “do you eat meat?”
Uhhhhh not the same thing.
@@tompatchak8706 Definitely not the same thing. Even with animals we do consume their deaths are quick and swiftly. Prolonging their suffering is abhorrent. But this poor animal suffered at the hands of others for amusement, not for necessity
@@joquez5990 exactly what I’m saying. I commented back that both my family and my ex-wife family had farmers growing up so we both both seen our fair share of chickens, ducks, and turkeys being slaughtered for food. We’ve heard squeals of pigs and rams as they were slaughtered in the in the barn. But we treated those animals with dignity and respect because they were giving their lives for us to survive.
My uncles would sell the extra or sell the skins for extra money for us to eat, and to pay for other things.
Not like this that was just treated like shit because the people around him were assholes
All humans can be evil so you have to otherwise displine them.
I like how I heard air quotes when you said back yard “wrestler”
It’s not funny but Patrice O’Neil’s version is hysterical Singh: I’m sorry my family, my family asks that the turban, see the turban is sacred and I cannot I just cannot….. Vince: You’ll put on that DAMN turban, I don’t give a shit, Pal you’re wearing it!! It’s a lot funnier when Patrice told it. Said it was the meanest most cold thing he’d ever witnessed.
Patrice gave Tiger Ali a stereotypical Indian accent when he was retelling the story even though Tiger didnt have one being that he was raised in Canada
Well I know Vice is covering Chirs in the upcoming season of Dark Side of the Ring and had cover Atsushi Onita in season 3 well I hope they would cover the others in future episodes of Dark Side Of The Ring
All New Jack incidents have left the chat
Now with the Billy Jack Haynes allegedly killinghis wife...
I know women can nag sometimes but I can't imagine taking my best friend's mother away from her.. I can't stand to see my daughter having hatred towards me and never talking to me again.. I'm even sad thinking about it.. I truly love my kid..
poor monkey, that's atrocious. weak people abusing defenseless animals...
You know what? I'll say it. The ongoing Vince/Laurinaitis scandal is the biggest scandal in WWE history.
The Benoit and Snuka scandals may've taken lives, but they still weren't being done by tye people in charge. Thise happened inside Benoit's and Snuka's homes, not backstage in the company. I truly think we're currently living through the biggest scandal we've ever seen.
Probably the biggest in terms of longevity as the others were incidents, these two fuckers could do a game of thrones book series on their sordid secrets, horrible creatures
I would agree with that. Especially when you consider the potential impact and ripples this will undoubtedly have throughout the entire wrestling industry. And also, I think we're only just at the beginning of it. When it's all said and done... there may not even BE a WWE anymore.
@@devinphillips9704 spot on, there is absolutely no doubt we could be looking at the wrestling saville,
Ring boy scandal. they just don’t have the power to cover things up anymore. Currently another wrestler has killed his wife very recently and it’s not getting talked about too much
Must have said something out of turn, comment been wiped 😂
Wait hold the fuck on when did Patrice O Neal work for WWE that's cool as fuck
i really hope the current lawsuit against wwe doesn’t become forgotten. janel grant deserves justice
I’m from Pendleton and it’s a big reason we stopped having shows there after that.
Ian rotten is a joke and for Micky knuckles to keep running back after getting blamed that she didn't do to TNA because she broke her leg is absolutely disgusting and beyond me what some people think I will never understand
Phenomenal video! Would love to see more like this!!
Patrice O’Neal talking about Tiger Singh is absolutely hilarious
Hold up -- Patrice O'Neal, one of the best Comedy Central Presents, that Patrice O'Neal, wrote for WWF?!
I had never heard about MonkeyGate. That was utterly disgusting and everyone involved should have served jail time and the poor monkey should have been taken to a sanctuary or something, not just given to someone's parents to look after. UPDATE: I did some research online and it appears that current WWE star Akira Tozowa may have been involved. Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks has also mentioned an interaction with the monkey in his and his brother's autobiography.
How the fuck was Levy supposed to sell any of that offense? He was just getting beat with blunt objects. He's not gonna bump like Ricky Morton or Dolph Ziggler.
With that Cora the monkey story… this is why I believe in eye for an eye
Chris Adams was also the trainer of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
It's worth noting that any payouts from "wcw" after 2001 were from wwe.....and most likely a go away payout....
I know the title gives a bit of a heads up but the pics of the monkey probably need a “images some may find disturbing” pre-warning
Fr did not see those pics coming, I was both disgusted and fucking angry afterwards, FUCK those guys
Hey Gaz. Excellent shout. We've added a line to the description as well as a pinned comment but we'll make sure it's mentioned in the video itself in future, too. Sincere apologies for any upset caused.
People are soft
what you never choked the monkey before?
😂😂 u gotta be kidding, toughen up buttercup
I cannot believe you covered the Cora scandal
How about the young man who died at one of Seth Rollins’ camps back in 2016 due to negligence?
ooo yes please do tell I knew something was dodgy about Seth
10:58 - Adams' house looks like the set from "In Your House".
I could be wrong, but I’m surprised the Ghastly Match wasn’t here. Not saying it was forgotten, but I thought it would be a lot bigger.
Hey, I’m not asking for this because I see it as entertainment, cause that’s just sick. What I am asking for is to possibly make a part 2 of this because I see this as a way to draw attention to some of the worst stuff that occurs in a industry that either tries to sweep this stuff under the rug or sickening endorses this kind of behaviour or actions. Also great job in terms of both the video presentation itself and commentary Adam.
less about morbid curiosity and more about transparency in pro-wrestling is valid, bro
The fact that we are up to a fifth season of the series "Dark Side Of The Ring" shows how much dodgy stuff goes on.
tl;dr part 2, just say that
@@mmgvii8076 You can say it that way.
The manslaughter charge for Adams is BS. I'd never heard this story before, but it sounds like she was a grown adult woman who could make her own choices. Unless they left out the detail of Adams FORCING those drugs into her, that was her decision to make. She died of a self inflected drug overdose, not manslaughter.
good video

why do we need one of the most notorious scandals in wrestling in a video that is titled "10 forgotten pro wrestling scandals" are u dull or something like what bruh stfu ... why do u even want a video on a story u already know a very famous one do we need youtube to spammed full of the same story repeated over and over again in 1000s of videos or can we some variety fk off its already bad enough with all the recycled content but your little brain wants more isn't their enough videos on snuka couldn't u just Search for that if u wanted it u have no empathy for others u really everybody wants a video on a story they know do u think of others why do we need that story recycled again why does eveyrone have to put up with spam content because of stupid people like u who watch it
How did that first guy get life in prison ? That's a long sentence. I figured 25 years.

Can we get a part 2 please
And there’s still Mel Phillips, Bruiser Brody, Buck Zumhoffe…
I wonder if austin giving debra the ol' 1 2 will be on the list
No, wrestling fans seem to ignore that.
Besides, there is no doubt about it. Austin pled guilty to it.
@@dhenderson1810He plead no contest, which doesn't admit guilt.
nah that's not a scandal that's just Texas
@@dhenderson1810i get annoyed how wrestling fans will demonize someone and never let people forget what someone allegedly did but conveniently ignore what others have allegedly done just because they're favorites to them.
What industry has the most scandals?
Adult movie industry or
Wrestling industry?
Damn what an episode
Ian Rotten's mistress thats who Mickie Knuckles was. Ian Rotten was married when the Mike Levy incident happened. Plus his son was also involved with the assault.
Wait a minute.......Patrice O Neil worked 4 WWE?
You could probably produce a lengthy video on scandals by one Vincent Kennedy McMahon
uhhh are u dull is it hard to talk about one topic for a hour that's pretty easy with any of these scandals think before u speak your attention span must be low as fk
And remember the scandal of rasslin being for 40 year old virgins

Did Cultaholic cover Billy Jack Haynes killing his wife yet and I missed the video? Practically no one's discussing it. 🥴
Probably waiting for more information. Not much has been officially released and as of right now he is "detained" and being listed as a "suspect" or "person of interest", depending on which article you read. I'd much rather the authorities take the time and be thorough enough to get all the facts before making charges and formal arrests.
@@KamenRiderGumoWhy? The police were quick to implicate Chris Benoit, on barely any evidence, with no other suspects interviews, and the media and the public talked about it less than 24 hours after the bodies were found.
when Cultaholic doesn't make a video about this specific guy killing his wife: 🥴
@@breazy832 It's not about "some guy killing his wife." A _pro wrestling_ infotainment / news outlet not mentioning a retired _pro wrestler_ being held in police custody for homicide seemed a bit odd. This channel has covered circumstances as horrible as this on multiple occasions.
I don't know what region of the world you're from, but in mine "🥴" signifies confusion. What do you want from me? Don't jump into my comment thread if you don't have something meaningful to contribute to the topic, and just want to try to antagonize for the sake of behaving like a CZcams troll.
There definitely could be a Part of this exact topic from WWE is wild shit!
RIP to patrice oneal.
Funny thing about the "Ian Rotten/Mike Levy Incident"... Karma came back 10 fold for everyone involved... Mickie Knuckles legs snapped like a dry twig when she was on her way to TNA so that deal fell thru... She later exposed Ian of cheating on his girlfriend (who wasn't Knuckles 😬😬) wit her... Ian Rotten never broke out of the "backyard deathmatch scene"... So moral of the story kids... Karma is a real thing... 😂😂😂
No Bruiser Brody?
"Forgotten", not "one of the most famous in wrestling history" lol
