Every episode of Smackdown back in 2006 since MVP's debut match, the fans in attendance would chant "Power Ranger" every time he would have a match and sometimes during promos.
MVP should’ve made his debut on Smackdown by maybe insulting the WWE fans after beating a hometown talent with MVP delivering his finisher to the talent with the crowd booing in disapproval.
Ya'll remember when Fandango's theme made something like top 5 in the charts? The radio played it whilst on a car ride and my family has questioned my sanity ever since I danced out the window on the Motorway
I guess the defining moment of the theme was the Raw after Mania, when the audience "sung" his theme at the strangest moments. Unfortunately the theme was more over than him - and the strange storyline and splitting with Summer Rae didn´t help either.
The Undertaker is still, to this day, the biggest success story to come out of the "is an occupation" gimmick era. In the hands of a lesser skilled man, the original Western Mortician gimmick would've sunk, but as we saw for 30 years, Mark made the gimmick and transcended it beyond the "is an occupation" gimmick. Vince did the right thing, and Mark ultimately rewarded Vince with undying loyalty, esp. in an era were loyalty could easily been bought out. I think out of everyone on this list, besides Taker himself, Kurt proved that he was made for the business. The impromptu mid-match promo helped solidify that, and the next 20 years ultimately proved it.
@@lukewilcox2760 Fair enough! Lists like these are always going to leave people off, there's always a second video to be made and Styles should definitely be on there.
The character Kane had his debut match against Mankind at Survivor Series 1997 but that and most of the undercard was overshadowed by what happened in the main event . Before that Glen Jacobs had his WWF/E debut at SummerSlam 1995 against Bret Hart as Isaac Yankem and lost by disqualification thanks to interference by Jerry Lawler .
Kane and Undertaker could’ve had a nice match at Survivor Series 1996 with Kane wanting to even the score with Undertaker by defeating him and locking him in a casket.
Undertaker’s debut was the debut that started it all. His first appearance at one of the biggest wrestling PPVs of the year, and immediately became someone special. His performance was not 5 stars, this is truly an important moment in wrestling
Kurt angle's Debut is so funny. He is hyped as this great athlete when everyone around him where going nuts with attitude lol. It felt like bob backlund but was better as he was heel.
Maybe not as dramatic, but retiring the Hardcore and European titles was stupid as shit. For most guys it meant they’d just go out there and fight for nothing, no title to chase or defend.
I was at the In Your House: Great White North PPV where Goldust made his debut, and the crowd just didn't know what to make of the guy... You could practically hear crickets during the match with Marty Janetty
It probably depends on his or her ability to mimic accents or ancestry, ie both parents are immigrants from New York, the person was able to speak with both British and New York accents
Sable? Made her very first appearance at WM12 and her in ring debut at WM 14 and was arguable the second biggest match of the show after Austin vs. Michaels
Taz’s debut at the 2000 Royal Rumble to a crazy reaction against Kurt freakin Angle (and winning) is one of the best debuts of a non WWE wrestler in my opinion. It’s just a shame that despite his popularity because he wasn’t a “WWE guy” old bitter Vince didn’t do anything with him because he was “too small”
Mark Calloway actually debuted in WWE about 6 months prior to his debut as The Undertaker.... sort of. The first time I saw him in WWE (then WWF), was on a Canadian program called Maple Leaf Wrestling that had one or two main events featuring 2 major WWF superstars with the rest of the show comprised of squash matches with superstars against lesser known jobbers. I believe they called him Mean Mark Calloway, and like his former WCW character he used The Heart Punch as his finisher with opponents clutching their chests and hauled off on a stretcher.
Surprised Lesnar didn't show up on here. While he did mow through much of the roster on shows, he didn't have his first official match until Backlash where he beat the unholy Hell out of Jeff Hardy and almost made yours truly cry. I was 11 and was and still am a massive Hardy Boyz fan. My seats were right where Jeff was being helped to the back.
You should've chosen Mr. McMahon who won his very first match at the 1999 Royal Rumble after going through a serious training regimen getting ripped which included chasing a chicken in the snow with Shane
@@herecomesdatrain The Kane characters match debut was at Survivor Series 1997 against Mankind the normal lights were turned off and were replaced by red light . Prior to that Kane was destroying wrestlers after their matches . Before the match Mankind cut a promo about brick walls and how common sense says you climb over or go around but that wasn't his way and he would rather smash through the wall or die trying but that and what happened on the rest of the undercard was overshadowed by what happened in the main event .
I thought Taker might end up here, but according to Bruce Prichard, he actually had a few matches before his Survivor Series “debut.” Bruce does like to stretch the truth (or misremember) from time to time, but this one sounds pretty solid. Plus it just sounds better that “Kain The Undertaker” starts his career (with Brother Love no less) at a big PPV instead of some small spot or house show.
Undertaker had a few matches in WWF before his “debut” as well. I wonder if they’re even trying to be accurate, or just going by “official” debut dates. Either way, could have used a quick blurb in the beginning.
@@MrWoolyMonster I think they were going for telvised debuts take Kurt Angle as an example he was in one of their feeder systems and worked some house shows before his official debut at Survivor Series 1999 against Shawn Stasiak .
The grass is always greener on the other side, neighbor has a new car that you wanna drive, and when time is running out you wanna stay alive... we all live under the same sky, we all will live we all will die, there is no wrong there is no right the circle only has one side.
Goldust is a " Gold painted weirdo " . Well that's putting it mildly . The original WWF/E MVP gimmick was a disgruntled baseball player the name was changed to Abe "Knuckleball" Schwartz and the character was played by Steve Lombardi .
@@robertclark2253 Lombardi started as a jobber, enhancement talent, but was loyal to the company and spent his whole career with them. The Brooklyn Brawler gimmick was created when Bobby "The Brain" Heenan said he could make anyone a champion.
If all these big Wrestling Stars debut on PPV. That means there will be good things to come for Omas's career if he debut on PPV the biggest PPV WrestleMania 37 for the tag team titles with AJ Styles another PPV Debut guy in font of live fans for the 1st time in a over a year during the pandemic to be at that.
And now so many years later MVP is really a MVP - as mouthpiece/manager for Lashley. And so funny. The same Survivor Series gave us the Goobledy Gooker AND the Phenom...
The undertaker won was great and he actually elimanted 2 superstars in that match which means he elimanted half of the team by himself and one of those men was a complete ledgend and world champion else where on his first night damn impressive
yeah... Fandango vs Chris Jericho.... you forget how talented those wrestlers are who get reduced to a joke by WWE....you could fill another Fed with their outcasts.
At 6:08 its the modern day "Karen" in her early stages in the mid 90s. Why is she so offended? In the background of Goldust you see her..Did someone fart? Goldust's androgynous-ness offend her. Was she offended she was turned on? The chil'ren!!! Why wont someone please think of the Chil'rin
