One good thing about Drew's 3MB run is that he accidentally did the Claymore Kick for the first time.

@zanethind Месяц назад

Yep😂😅

@studentNEET319 Месяц назад

3MB basically gave them a chance into doing comedy

@lordbendtner6404 Месяц назад

i mean drew kinda enjoy it

@venomousnate7263 Месяц назад

Just seeing their old gimmicks and personas is such a far cry to where they are now. What a difference just a few years can do.

@zanethind Месяц назад

Yeah

@iliketrains3495 Месяц назад

Apollo's Nigerian gimmick wasn't that bad, it was an improvement over before when all he did was smile

@SsnakeBite Месяц назад

I'm really glad you mentioned Cole because man, his work in recent years ever since he's been allowed to let loose and actually call matches like, you know, a pro wrestling commentator, really shows just how much Vince McMahon cramped his style, which in turn caused him to be hated by large portions of the fans for most of his carreer for what it turns out wasn't his fault. I'm sure it must have paid well or else he would have left years ago but man, it must have been miserable at times to be puppetted by the wretched old pervert all the time.

@AngelRasmus3 Месяц назад

He's also literally lost his hearing too, 65%!!! He has to wear these special hearing aids under his headset so he can hear

Honourable mention: Becky Lynch. From Highland Jig Dancer to The Irish Lass Kicker and Finally to The Man.

@parsath_2584 Месяц назад

2/3 3MB members have been world champions. Heath is a free agent getting jacked for his return. Thus 3MB is actually an incredible gimmick.

Those Shorty G shirts 😂

@CactusJackter Месяц назад

Ah yes, paying £100+ to go see WWE in the front row and having the fucking Cole Mine set up in front of you so you could only see the screens and the occasional glimpse of a wrestler if they happened to climb the nearest cornerpost. What a fun night that was. Totally worth the money.

@JMartNotKMart Месяц назад

Shout out to Luke Gallows who went to one of my hometown’s highschools. Also to LA Knight who grew up about an hour away from my hometown, they’re both doing us crab people proud 🥲 🦀

@greasy2007 Месяц назад

Didn't kno that about Gallows

@Irish.insight Месяц назад

When I look at some of these gimmicks with fresh eyes, all clustered together around the same time in 2020/2021, it really does feel like some New Generation level stuff compared to what we have now

@P0YSiN Месяц назад

it's easy to forget just what an intense transformation Drew made until you see current day him and 3MB him side by side 😳

@thegameking3931 Месяц назад

Yeah look like 2 different person completely

@MalachiDees2005 Месяц назад

Just want to put something out there about Michael Cole. It's almost sad that a real-life event (that being Jerry Lawler's heart attack on-air) turned him face. While yes, a sad moment for Cole and WWE, what would've happened had Lawler not had the heart attack. Would he still be a heel today or not? Also, I absolutely love his commentary with Pat McAfee, those two are so great!

@claymathewselevator8121 Месяц назад

The Loan Wolf Baron Corbin

@deckzone3000 Месяц назад

What about it?

@23lacross Месяц назад

Man if they didn't force Apollo to do that accent I think that gimmick could've worked.

@florianreimann3166 Месяц назад

I gotta say I liked the Stardust gimmick and even if Cody hated it, he still gave it all he had. plus it gave us one of the best Celebrity matches with Stephen Amell

@jessebunnell6442 Месяц назад

@MoonlightStrider Месяц назад

It sounds daft but the only reason I cared much for Retribution was because it had Dio Maddin in the stable, loved watching him during his time in ROW especially when I first saw him in Two Best Friends Play.

@fevergaming1 Месяц назад

@dragoon001914 Месяц назад

Stardust wasn't terrible. Cody not being happy with a midcard act that would never see the main event scene isn't the same as it being terrible.

@ruind404 Месяц назад

Stardust was a horrible character on purpose. Cody made the best of it but Stardust was a “Vince fucking hates me” gimmick

@TheRealAhoy Месяц назад

Stardust was fun, I liked it, can understand why it depressed him, 'Stardust' isn't going to sell out arenas one day

@sebastientumahai9560 Месяц назад

3mb Drew is a complete 180 from what he is now. It’s actually hard to believe that they are the same person. The look, size, character is completely different

@moisesfreire6408 Месяц назад

Drew in the thumbnail looking like a third Young Buck lol.

Jesse and Festus were the original Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen 😂

@the13th Месяц назад

Renaissance Era > Paul Levesque Era I dont care how many times they try to make it a trending copywright, its a terrible name and I prefer the original fan label.

@Halcryder Месяц назад

I kinda disagree about Cody. I actually really liked his "Dashing" era, and he honestly did really well with the Stardust gimmick too.

@jodawa2504 Месяц назад

I love version one of "Dashing" Cody Rhodes' entrance theme "Smoke & Mirrors" from Summer 2010 to early 2011. "Woaaaaaaaaoh! You're only smoke and mirrors! Woaaaaaaaaoh! You're only smoke and mirrors tonight!"

@RomaroBrandon Месяц назад

Apollo Crews as a Nigerian Prince could actually work in NXT 2.0, especially if you pair him with Oba Femi. I also think Southern Bell Lacey Evans would've been better in NXT 2.0 as well, especially if she feuded with Fallon Henley like Tiffany Stratton did.

@Joeyy99 Месяц назад

3MB was such fun! I do miss Heath Slater

@Andress550 Месяц назад

great compilation !

@SsnakeBite Месяц назад

Giving someone a gimmick of "you're short, lol!" is especially dumb in pro wrestling of all things. THat's right! You have a low centre of gravity which is actually a great thing for wrestling! You must be so embarassed!

From Wrestlemania 34 tag team champion - Piesanos manager: Nicholas Dickhead.

@jordanmartinez1731 Месяц назад

Natalya gets too much respect, there has never been a veteran on the roster who’s done less. Not one memorable gimmick, silent reactions heel or face, forgettable title reigns. When Bret returned in 2010 im convinced part of the deal was wwe could never fire natalya or she would’ve been released over 10 years ago. Her “putting over” talent doesn’t even have an impact as beating someone who’s done nothing for around 15 years doesn’t look like an achievement

@MenverMan Месяц назад

@bigbossman2810 Месяц назад

I'm surprised that Becky Lynch's Lass Kicker gimmick wasn't included.

@southnewton1 Месяц назад

I don't get the hatred for Stardust. I honestly feel people only say it was bad because Cody himself has repeatedly made fun of it. It sure as shit was way better than "Dashing" Cody Rhodes or "Our dads are famous" with Ted DiBiase Jr, that's for sure.

@jodawa2504 Месяц назад

Cody Rhodes' tag team name with Ted Dibiase, Jr before aligning with Randy Orton in January 2009 was unofficially known as Team Priceless.

@SsnakeBite Месяц назад

I will not have this Festus slander. It was an amazing gimmick. I love it, I miss it and I hope they do something similar with someone else. Hell, I remember the WWE game he appeared in even had the detail of having him wake up as the bell rang at the start of the match.

@rebal180 Месяц назад

It's a shame those gimmick changes haven't advanced any of their careers in terms of being champions at all. Also Michael Cole will always be a hack that gets way more credit than he deserves.

What? Drew became 3 time world champion and is feuding with cm punk, Cody beat roman reigns in the main event of WrestleMania. Chad gable will probably get the ic title soon before pursuing the world title. I can go on. Also Michael Cole is great now. He earned the credit he gets. Also one of the hardest working people in this company. Hardly any off days

@rebal180 Месяц назад

@@shachardahan1081 Drew isn't champion now and he's only feuding with Punk to keep him away from the title. I missed where Cody was listed. The rest still haven't won anything. Cole still botches half of his calls. Vince never caused him to do that.
