Why I like your guys videos more than others? I was a pro wrestler once upon a time, though I left the business around 1997. I think all fans know, there are plenty of things predetermined in wrestling, but the moves, the strength and the inherent danger with the job is 100% real. I love how you present your news, with a good balance of humor, not taking anything to serious but, you guys 'Sell' it too in these videos. Sometimes when you're on a certain wrestler, subject or whatever, you present it in a manor that goes back to the old days, and give it a touch of realism. As a former wrestler, I appreciate that. I've watched your channel for a long time now. Watched it evolve and grow from some people who just love wrestling, to a news/media operation. Keep up the good work!
well i gotta ask the question what was your signature moves and finishers it my favorite thing in wrestling and it not just fancy or epic moves i like 1 of my favorite moves is a running splash but only when done by the right person 500+ it can look deadly so i love all idea if done right and by the right person any move can look epic lol
@@L_Train why don’t you like the narrator? I love his whole “wrrrrresssssstling content” thing… I thing he’s just great. I wish I at least knew what his name was.
@@sarabest1961 yuck. That's the main reason I can't stand him. It sounds like a four year old trying to growl like a tiger. And "content"? Wrestling content? Way to pick the least exciting term to use as a tag line. Then you've got his whole lack of emotion in his voice. It gives me the impression that a lot of stuff goes over his head. He represents the very worst of pro wrestling, what a mark. People like him getting involved with pro wrestling instead of being on the outside is what ruined it. And now there's a whole new generation of marks, yourself probably included, who just don't know any better and will never understand what pro wrestling was and is supposed to be about. Thus it will never get back to what it was and will only devolve further until it is entirely dissolved or becomes such a tiny niche that it becomes a passion for only deviants and outcasts. That's something which is dangerously close to happening currently and unfortunately probably soon will. It all started with people like the narrator getting involved in wrestling without understanding it from the inside or even realizing there was so much under the surface that was purposely obscured from marks like him. ...but mostly it's the outro and the way he sounds like a 4 year old growling like a tiger.
Paul London's selling of the Clothesline @ the 2005 Royal Rumble was absolutely hilarious it didn't take away from the Match that was great because Paul basically did a shooting star press on the floor which was amazing.
I was at that Smackdown where Punk laying was laying in the ring. He was out for at least 10 minutes. It was at Nassau Coliseum. Some guy yelled "Leave him there till hockey season."
@samurai ninja His job is as a heel, he is playing a character with the intention for you to hate them, and if you aren't, you are sort of calling him bad at his job.
Apparently, London got chewed out backstage on the stretcher for "trying to make the Rumble about himself". He was told to make Snitsky look like a monster, and he did...
I was at a raw/205 live taping and once saw Enzo Amore sell every move the cruiserweights gave him the same way Moxley/Ambrose and Punk sold the end of the show. He laid there face down the entire time as security motioned for everyone to leave.
when people get knocked out in real life they usually wake up pretty quickly or can be revived pretty easily. I don't know why people think that lying motionless for 15 minutes is good selling. To me it looks cheesy. I think it would be better if the guy wakes up after a minute. They don't have to get up or anything, just not look dead.
Besides, if someone stays out of it for even half that long someone should check up on then, particularly now in an era of concussion and brain trauma concerns...
Tbh, Mysterio's match at Extreme Rules and The Fiend's "death" at TLC, made me believe that with WWE having no live audience, they could even show a decapitation or a dismemberment on camera, I mean, we quite didn't have moments like that since the crowds returned to the shows.
I remember a dark match in 2002, Brock vs Funaki. Funaki sold so well we honestly thought he was dead. Even Brock going back had to look around and wonder.
CM Punk just did that again at the aew show this past Wednesday after it ended for the in house audience. The crew ended up rolling him out on an equipment chest.
Top 11. Number one should have been The Undertaker. With the exception of the American Badass, he stayed in character for his whole career. That isn't an extra mile, that is a worldwide travel while doing the Undertaker's ring walk!
Another awesome example of Lesner going the extra mile in selling was on the Raw before that Rumble whenever he and McEntire went at it and he hit Brock with the Claymore, not only did he sell the move beautifully, but then he directed and audibles to Drew to pick up the title and hold it high before the live crowd, which was not in the script but that image further solidify that Drew was more than ready to carry it when it was all said and done.
I remember attending a WWE live event in Germany just days after the festival of friendship. When Jericho stepped out of the bus he wore the neckbrace and got escorted by a wwe crew member. He sold his injury perfect 😍
I def agree with The Big Show making house shows fun. Back around 06-07 ECW had a house show in my home town. It was literally up the street from my house. Id be surprised if the venue held 5 thousand people but his interactions with the fans during the match was one of the hilights of the night.
I remember Brock telling Drew to grab the belt after Drew kicked him 3 times. You know you're the guy when Brock freakin Lesnar tells you to grab the belt.
How about when Bob Backlund dropped the WWF championship to Diesel, then crawled all the way to the locker room on his belly to sell the jack knife powerbomb?
5:27 the way this was said...there are a few stories, like Vader and Afa, who had their eye pop out in a match and they didn't wear an eye patch forever and "miraculously" healed
Surely Shawn Michaels collapsing on Nov 20th 1995 RAW to Owen Hart deserves a spot? Might seem contrived now but if you watched it live, it seemed genuinely believable. A truly great work.
Paul London selling that clothesline being taken as “upstaging everyone else in the match” gotta be the dumbest reason ever. Everybody in the ring is literally just doing all the same stuff so if that sell was considered “upstaging” then something is wrong with Vince and the others in the back
4:48 The entire existence of an Eye For An Eye match. Seriously. All you have to do is force your opponent’s eye to be extracted. I almost wanted to vomit so hard when I watched it LIVE on pay per view. This is a type of match stipulation that should never even exist ever again.
The fact that i was in the building when Dean was selling the stomp. I actually took a picture of myself while dean was lying face down on the canvas. best picture i ever took XD
Well London did do the thing, aside from Cena and Batista being eliminated at the same time in the end of the Rumble, nothing else is remembered from the 2005 RR match. It was just a forgettable one, for what it seems.
I politely disagree. There was also that hilarious spot with Muhammed Hassan. 05 Rumble was pretty awesome but that's because as a 14yo at the time, almost anything WWE churned out was gold to me lol
Evan "Airbourne" Bourne, when Randy Orton caught him with an RKO off Evan's finisher "Airbourne". The way Evan sold it I swear on *EVERYTHING* I thought he broke his fucking neck.
It’s so surreal to me to for once I witnessed something on a list live. I just didn’t know it. But I was there at that where punk stayed in the ring until everyone went home. Edmonton Alberta in the old Rexall Place. The match in question was a short dark cage match that wasn’t promoted but was awesome to see. I had no clue he stayed as we left like everyone else, but seeing it now in this video I know I was there as I can recognize Rexall Place anywhere.
In a Smackdown house show in Mexico 2009 (wich I went), CM Punk sell the Undertaker's tombstone piledriver so long that a referee dragged him away to the backstage area. Unfortunate I don't have any clip of that I was 9 years old. it was in Monterrey City
You should make another list only of female wrestlers who are good at selling their opponents moves Example AJ Lee, she makes a normal spear look deadly
00:01:12 He was being spiteful imo. If he was doing "good selling'' he'd have stayed down for maybe 10 min's. Laying there for 50 when he wasn't told to looks ridicules because a worked medical crew would have come out eventually.
Hey guys, a note about your thumbnail composition? Try not to put text in the bottom right of the thumbnail image, as on the home page it will be covered by the video runtime and very difficult to read.
He wasn't in WWE but Andy Kaufman was a true guinness at selling. When he and Jerry Lawyer was on David Letterman and Lawyer smacked him. It was selling 101.
Alot of people forget, the ringside interviews** are another way to sell, and Paul seriously does this the best, the man is a literal king at the sell 🤙🤙 Those were some really good sells, and Brock did extremely well selling the Claymore 🤙
WCW, a SuperBrawl at the Cow Palace. Kevin Nash vs. Sid vs. Jarrett. Sid wins the main after a powerbomb after an El Kabong, and Nash lays there. 15 minutes later, we come out and a bunch of people are looking in at the ring, Nash is still there, laying down, selling two bad shots -- and won't get up until we are all thrown out of the area so he can!
