10 WWE Wrestling Successors That Failed Miserably 

#thefiend will never be as good as the deadman.

Afi James No one wants it to be We want new icons, new legends , stop clinging on the past . Even Taker endorsed Bray so The Fiend is the equivalent of Taker for this era , even plain Cult leader Wyatt was great

@@togucvinw7 until #aleisterblack kills #thefiend

mmm n why do you need to be so rude? I actually agree with Anthony mukoko but ur you don’t can’t you just say that and leave out the insults

@@jmjfanss but the fiend is mankind and undertaker child

Yeah, you mean just like Ric Flair (Buddy Rich) & Hulk Hogan (Billy Graham).

U are right.

@@srtallio or Demolition to the Road Warriors.

Crap! Mordecai was not another Undertaker, in fact the complete opposite. Undertaker is the prince of darkness so he came from hell(death valley ) while mordecai came to judge and damned his opponents to hell. The Undertaker was dark, thus the black and mordecai was white believing he did the bid of a higher power(God opposite of satan or the devil.) Being opposites the gimmick should have worked.

@@dabariummalak1194 Apparently Mordecai messed it up for himself. Him & Undertaker should of been a WrestleMania match easily!

Sin Cara what?

@@ManowarMasino There's languages where that is the literal word for black. For example, Montenegro, meaning Black Mountain.

yes he could be replaced by...the Overtaker!!

Ryback was so cool though wish he had have lasted longer

​@@jaydencameron3009 Ryback sucked.

I think it was a success, fans related him with all American character.

they really fucked up his stuff. he had a great thing with the miz(was it the miz?) where they were tag team champs.

I don`t think so. He is a badass.

@@aryal1251 no. A couple months later he got in trouble for DA and I think his contract was pretty much up with the WWE. He seemed like a nice enough guy

No but Roman reigns has definitely turned himself into his own star instead of replacing John cena

In my opinion Goldberg cannot be replaced forever

And The Rock?

John Cena was just a replacement hogan/rock 😂

Cena can't be seen...

We had a same first name lol

There is only one true crimson and its crimson king

Almost? Can NEVER be replaced

There will never ever be or nobody will ever replace the undertaker and that's true bill

Not even Kane!

Undertaker is easier to replace than you think, he didnt do much talking especially in early days...On other hand, guy who is nearly impossible to replace is Stone Cold, he was simply that unique.

@@flipflop4396 and cm punk

That's kinda concerning

@@Gelatin_agreengoober lol

it's like Taker was able to change up his image many times over the course of his career but he's remained the Undertaker, I don't see that really if at all

He is no entertaining enough. He is too stiff.

I bet ur just indian and ur tryna make him look good now

Hey Nextaker how are you?

JBL was better though

Hey nextracker I’m a fan of you how are you

dang Acts 2:36-42 predominantly verses 37-39 changed my life. UPCI church locator for a church near u.

i didnt know nextraker liked wrestling

about to say this

Reigns as a face will never work again, that’s why Roman is having the best time of his career being a heel rn

Yes he wasn't ready for that his in ring skills didn't match up with CM Punk. It was a horrible story line.

I loved ryback no matter what. Dude was huge and I looked up to him

I agree. If they were to let him have a few runs as IC and US champ then put him in the world title picture would’ve worked a lot better

And the addition of the shield also destroys rybacks run

Damn you know too much about wrestling

The Underfaker !! Just Kidding. The Undertaker can’t be replaced. Everyone else can be !!

@@anshumannbatra8907 john cena

Kane

@@anshumannbatra8907 Braun straumen 🔥

@@justcurious9133 he got fired now 😆

Cena was being bored in a “we hate to love you” way

Cena doesn’t really get booed as much anymore. He was certainly cheered in the feud with Reigns.

@@jogabonitotv6498 No, he wasn't.

@Sidharthlol u can't speak for all Indians

The difference is, Cena acknowledged it and embraced it. Reigns didn’t. He just continued to act like everyone loved him.

The problem was the ending. Kane, Big Show and Roman were the last three. It was obvious he was going to win. WWE just botched the way Roman won RR 2015.

Just the fact that he would win every event

@@umangh2737 like cena said roman sucks at promos

I believe in the previous royal rumble, fans would like Reigns to win but they gave it to Batista, and people also hated it.

Roman's biggest successes always felt like he stole them from someone else rather than earning them on his own. The rumble win should've gone to Bryan, but was given to him. Kane held the 11-man elimination record, but then Roman took that, too. Jericho made the 'grand slam champion' title feel special, but then it was devalued by Roman. Roman's didn't just overshadow modern talent, but it felt like a slap in the face to the veterans from years past. His entire character was "here's something you already like but better cause it's Roman," which didn't sit right with ANYONE. Moments and accolades that were special to us fans were almost disgraced because this young rookie came in and made them look silly. It wasn't Roman people hated, but rather the lack of respect towards the things we cared about that drove us insane.

Agreed!

Just keep him away from squeegees...

Slender Man please Sid doesn’t have half the brains that Kevin Nash does.

@@evilsWa LMAO. what a blunder. Sid had quite a few blunders on Live TV. Poor guy

@@evilsWa But Sid sure was entertaining on the mic.

Sid was the man a straight up beast he was what brock was but sid was the master and ruler of the world

Kalisto like Ultimo dragon

And CHRIS BENOIT.

Steve-o Moreno I hated Chris Benoit

@@c3realK1ll4h that has nothing to do with the comments made here

I don't remember it being odd. I remember him working the gimmick well.

Steve-o Moreno elaborate how

Yeah! I think people overthink things sometimes. Mordecai vs Undertaker should have worked for a good vs evil match. I know the Undertaker is highly respected, I'm even a fan. And this is bullshit because Kane is definitely another Undertaker and he got a mad push. If they didn't want another Undertaker, then Kane should have been rejected. One thing about it is it's what the fans put over. That could have been good for a rivalry.

Mordecai was terrible in the ring though. I wouldn't have put him in there with Undertaker.

@@redgringrumboldt8983 why not? Prove to me he was terrible in the ring?

I feel like that mordecai gimmick is being underestimated tbh

@@kev7361 it truly is.

Fake Razor was so bad. He reminds me of a South Park parody of the real Razor Ramon

Kane?

How about the Nacho Man and the Huckster?

Yes !!!! And THAT....was horrible.

That made me laugh so hard back in the day.

Mordecai = I was trying to think of his name

Mordecai would've gotten owned in 1 week.

Absolutely ridiculous lol, like the time Shawn Michaels had a fued with The Undertaker dressing in white with a white hat at a wrestle mania event 🤣

sting vs taker cena vs taker 2 badly missed opportunity for whole wwe universe

@@1980syuppieYou mean arguably the greatest Wrestlemania match of all time?

Then you must never know what Goldberg is and what Goldberg achieved

That movie is amazing

It was an exciting time but I believe the 80s were the golden years because that's when wrestling became mainstream and everything common today was brand new. Storylines became more fleshed out, characters became more creative, venues got big, and promos became the best parts of some shows. They started building storylines with movies, events, and the whole 9. The Attitude Era was when the old fans and new fans merged because it encompassed old talent with up and coming new blood. The best time to be a wrestling fan in general.

I would have been awful and the match full of botches

Definitely. Ryback was fun! Him turning heel on Cena was awesome. That crowd popped! FEED. ME. MORE.

@@sirmateo75 cena should have hired goldberg.

@@kingkobi99 and since their gimmicks both boiled down to "just run through everybody", I can't imagine any way for them to have a decent match together. Either the match would be short and unsatisfying, or long and terrible.

That would have been an aweful match that would never happen both men are not good technically sound wrestlers would be a boring , slow notch filled snoozefest

It was already on the slide when that happened. Seven/Mordecai/Thorn was a decent wrestler but he never had the charisma for the role. Some fans loved the gimmick but most thought it had been given to the wrong guy. He was better as Thorn but that was because he had Shelley Martinez to distract people from his shortcomings.

He was crap on the mike.

I love real facts thank you for clearing this up bro the mainstream sometime don’t know what they talking about we loved mordi

Also heidenrich whateva his name was and stinky whateva his name was

Mordechai was a joke

He lost too much so he had enough of WWE's bullshit when he should have gotten a push. Trust me, the ratings would go up if they let him be heavyweight champion.

@Mr T are you the real and one and only Mr. T? If you are I'm such a big fan of you.

@Mr T ok thank you for your honesty, the worst thing you can do is lie and impersonate a celebrity. There have been some losers who do that on this site.

I actually liked ryback too tbh, out of most wrestlers I’ve seen past 2012, he was probably one of my favorites

He sucked. Not as bad as Roman Reigns.

Nah , character succession has more to with similarities in personality ,storyline and in ring dominance and yeah looks are important too . But edge and roman were nothing alike

@@priyanshubaderia1945 so just like a bunch of other comparisons in this video? lol

Roman was 100% supposed to be the next REAL ROMAN REIGNS (THE heel romsn reigns)

Nah his character is just like The Rock but no mic, then mix of Hogan and Cena

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Never

Noone can replace the Undertaker, so stop talking nonsense

Too Bad, WWE Destroyed him and made him feel more like a second Mick Foley.

I'm guessing because of his height and size it somewhat showed when he went to WCW

I miss diesel he needs to return

Sid older and been wrestling before diesel

@@facejohnson1851 Nash is actually a year older than Sid. But Nash started later than Sid .

Sid not a flop

Sid was world champion when that still meant something.

Sid was not a flop...

Yep Sid was great in WCW. i liked him and kevin nash both

Its kalisto and yeah

Essa Rios, Psychosis, Ultimo Dragon, Sin Cara, Kalisto, Del Rio, there's a long list of guys they tried to make the next rey to get the latino/lucha audience.

@@coachingteam3712 Del Rio was never a Rey. He's more the next in the line of Ted DiBiase->JBL->

Ultimo Dragon

@@btonyh5878 del Rio had more success than both of them tho

But i think their point is he didnt work out as a replacenent for shawns bodyguard. That was a better more nstural fit for nash.

Sid (back when he was still Sid Justice) was also groomed to be the next Hulk Hogan

No way I remember. Not over more then diesel. Diesel got big money.

@@docholidae4471 Sid Main evented 2 Wrestlemanias. He was big money!

This channel has a smark bias.

Also, him saying the fans didn't like SID winning the WWE title from Shawn makes it come off like he didn't watch the match.

@@Connect200 I agree completely. From NWA, wwe/wwf both times, WCW, ECW…Sid was always over with the fans

That match was very good.

I kinda liked Sid lol

Exactly... The wrestling channels like this always want rant on how terrible khali was in every possible way....which become annoying

Khali is joke but not biggie than jinder mahal

The great khali was a mediocre wrestler and had the charisma of a candy bracelet

@@SnowMountain-mb6nb i actually prefer Jinder than The Great Khali. I think Jinder looks and feels like a mid cardder with those bodyguards and i think The Great Khali was a very big and tall mistake.

I'm Indian and the great Khali was just a marketing ploy for Indians he worst wrestler

He did come back as Kevin thorn in ecw but it didn't work out

It actually seems like a good idea

Right!! I thought for sure they were going to have a Demon of Death Valley vs Angel of whatever term PPV

Me too, when I was a kid, I was excited to see him.

Cena..

@@ay33773 See. Nah...

Yes sir, once in a lifetime entertainer.

Because the rock is successor of his own father. No one have the origin gimmick except his own son

@@ay33773 I thought Cena was corny, especially in the beginning. He lost me with the white rapper gimmick.

idk it just seems like they just trying to recreate stars of the past, when it's not really possible, how do you find Undertaker or Austin or the Rock again, it won't ever happen again unfortunately

I'm glad I'm not the only Mordecai fan

BRING BACK MORDECAI!

He seemed to have a lot of potential, but they never used him very well.

@@Wizard4169 WWEs booking kills again

@@roygoodhand1301 Sadly its too late buddy. He has already made a much bigger success as Kevin Thorn and yeah, age is getting to him.

good call

But swagger was dope

Didn't help that they fed Ryback to Shield repeatedly.

Lol

😂😂

and right after he finished saying that it looked like he realized it looks like he's kissing him so he quickly pushed him off

people dont seem to understand luchador wrestlers or wrestling so every time a new one is introduced they always compare them with rey mysterio like this dude mentioning sinn cara wearing a mask was like dude luchador wrestlers wear masks thats what they do

Feed me more

@@chazeverett yeah but rey was the only "masked Mexican ". Like they never had any others so he was special, "unique". If they brought 10 luchadors at once maybe people would adjust or more likely no one would really stand out.

Royal rumble. 92

In ECW, he was mad over

And WWE was right not to make Daniel Bryan win, because he got injured a few months later and retired for 3 years

It wasn't just that. There was the whole CM Punk podcast thing with the whole him going over the shield in a 3 on 1 handicap match and getting told to make Roman Reigns look strong. When that got out, it was the beginning of Reigns getting booed. Reigns was firmly cheered before that time even when the Shield were heels.

Yea...others say Reigns pose be the "new" Rock !

It’s wwe tho

WWE always been racist lol

In today’s world, if she were still around, her name would probably have been changed… Now I think using characters who embody certain stereotypes, when used correctly, can be funny (think Dave Chappell) and entertaining (wwe). I think people need to calm down a bit and realize not all examples stereotypes are racist. Stereotypes are meant to portray over-exaggerated characteristics of a person’s race, sex, gender, or religion. Just because Dave Chappelle is portraying a white person as having a serious/robotic toned with sticks up their asses does not mean he is asserting that is how all white people act. It’s an exaggeration on what a white newscaster acts like and has some truth to its portrayal. I hope this doesn’t offend anyone but look at his portrayal of a black person. Loud, arrogant, with a less harsh tone. It’s an exaggeration of a few characteristics the average black person tends to have. For some people that’s how they act, for others it’s completely opposite. Learn to laugh at yourself….

@Ethan k I wouldn't be surprised if they actually did that

Hunico is a good wrestler aswell...

Where is sin cara? And kalisto ik hes a free agent but heath slater returned and wore a *Free agent* Shirt and didnt have a theme if its the same ill be sad bc the lucha theme was sick

Meh Mistico was always an arrogant prick in Mexico, he got away with it because he sold out arenas

@@LidlBakeryy Kallisto isnt a free agent, he's been injured since November, he wasnt one of the guys released.

@@coachingteam3712 since before new year ok

Cesaro doesn't get pushed because Vince McMahon is racist. He openly stated that 'because he's Swiss he has no charisma' on a Stone Cold podcast. He needs someone to do the talking for him and he'd be good to go.

@@ShiningJudgment666 i rememver that interview..that's fucked up...cesaro had alot going for him...he is legit the strongest pound for pound in wwe.

Roman Reigns should be the Lex Luger to Cesaro's Bret Hart but sadly things just don't work the way they used to.

I agree that Ryback is kind of dope but he wasn't really safe.

Ryback was a short run character. I can’t imagine him running for ten years. He was getting boring much like Goldberg at the end.

@@aaroncarrollronnowes969 maybe but least Ryback could do more than a 5 minute match

@@markmagician2471 5 minutes with Ryback is enough to make us sleep why make it longer ?
