Jim Ross shoots on releasing Umaga because he didn't want to goto rehab 

I was a huge fan of 3 minute warning as a kid, they got some good heat

@@michaelwilson9184 Umaga was better a gimmick for him. I was a big fan of his.

It's a shame super cena went over him in that absurd match where he choked him out with the ring ropes. I truly feel that if Umaga had gone over he'd still be a top heel today. If EVER there was a time for Cena to lose, and a person for him to lose _to_ it was that night, and Umaga. He could've been the next great, big man. Instead we have the tragedy that we do. He was practically jobbed out afterwards, and went from a monster like vader to a clown like Kamal. Also, RIP everyone I've talked about besides Cena. Crazy how that works....

@@igorivanov299 yes I agree, umaga was terrofyong for a long time until they pjshed him so hard that he was beating people 3 on 1

Ueah but he has a bad signature move, the samoan spike.

Lol I totally forgot about this. I used to make the wrestling figures I didn’t like go against umaga and that man would take the show

​@@weenerb2959😂😂😂😂

lol too cute

Terrifying

Nerds

That is a racist statement

@@StarlightEater triggered much?

@@Charsi_Escobar yes you are

@ShadowAngel with a name like Pillman did he have a choice?

@@StarlightEater lol shut up

I think the new generation clearly understand it they are eating healthy and understand they want to be around for their families.

I couldn’t even imagine him out of character!

He was the nicest. My brother in law had a big heart. I miss that guy

@@Vtino.tauaese he was pure gold ! 👍🏻🥇

The brutality of that team coupled with Eric Bischof ordering the destruction of my favorite wrestlers actually scared me

He was in wrestling for a while. I was watching an old Wresltemania from the early 90’s and he was in it. He went by a different name

@@koopaa13 yea I know what ya mean

Rosey and Jamal. Both dead now.

@@theungreatkahli Oh man, I missed the fact that Matt passed away. RIP.

Everyone listen.... to me hahaha

@@nightruler666 thats armando estrada. Not umaga. Lol!

Dude was seriously talented

Wait till you see Jacob Fatu

Lmfao 😂😂

You literally can't send people through different eras.

Estrada was never a big star

People are Callingcm Michael Cole the GOAT,No it’s Good ol J.R.

He was ok at best

yeahh not the same kinda rehab theyre talkin about drugs

@@JungleCrook lol

you're an idiot

​@@JungleCrookbruh lol he was prolly put on pain pills from his arm injury lol

1) He's not mentioned because WWE dislikes discussing guys who die of drug abuse. It puts them in a bad light. 2) Umaga would NEVER, EVER hold the WWE Championship. EVER. No chance AT ALL of that happening.

@@DIESEL0759 LoL. WWE doesn't care about being in a bad light. Are you joking? You do realize this is the same company that sponsored bra and panty matches for quite a while right? Degeneration X ring a bell? WWE wants to put out a product that people are willing to watch. They don't care all that much about what you're talking about. I mean we can pretend like this is something it's not, that's fine.

@@RstGamingReviews They totally don't care about their public image to much that they changed to a largely "G" rated product and fired Daniel Bryan for choking a referee since it made people think of C**** B****** (damn, why can't I type his name!! I said, C**** B**** DAMN!!!), and attempted to change the perception of the womens division and hype John Cena as the most perfect person on the planet, who, like Hulk Hogan, has never, ever taken any sort of illicit growth hormone that makes him rebound from injuries much faster than a normal human could, and boast about Make-A-Wish and "The Troops"(TM) and hesitated to make an "R" rated movie, since it went against their philosophy of only filming fun, family-friendly comedies showing everyone that pro wrestlers are just professional actors and actually love each other very much and only play a role on TV while in reality, all the actors hold hands and sing Kumbaya backstage in between prayer meetings. Yep. Clear to see how WWF doesn't care in the slightest about their public image. Rebels. 1999 will be the best year EVER in WWF!!!!!!!!!! and if you're not down with that SUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mr McMahon and Stone Cold in 1999!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ministry will serve Satan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeaaahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FUCK Dubya See Dubya and NITRO!!!!!!! Oh, wait...it's NOT 1999...it's 2020....time to get into this year, kiddo. You're stuck in the past like every other kid who pines for "WWF Attitude". It's not 1999 any more.

@@DIESEL0759 Their care about public image is a farce. You know it. I know it. Time to grow up child.

@@RstGamingReviews Not withstanding your several meetings with Vince McMahon to discuss this, little kid, but... They totally don't care about their public image to much that they changed to a largely "G" rated product and fired Daniel Bryan for choking a referee since it made people think of C** B**** (damn, why can't I type his name!!

And how long ago was that

@ً thats what i thought this dude a asshole

I remember in July 2019 I was in Myrtle Beach South Carolina staying on North Ocean Blvd and while looking at my phone and alert popped up. "Jeff Hardy arrested for public intoxication in Myrtle Beach." He was arrested on North Ocean Blvd the same street I was staying probably a couple hotels down. I said to my friend "do you know how intoxicated someone would have to be to get arrested for that here? I see plenty of intoxicated people." We had a good laugh.

And yokozuna

@ً Not really. Not after 3-minute warning

@ً That’s a lot different than being a “jobber”. True jobbers are people like Funaki, Spike Dudley, and Nunzio.

@ً "Glorified jobber" Couldn't be further from the truth. Umaga was a monster heel. Great gimmick.

I'm a fan of Samoan wrestlers.

@ً that’s ultimately what a good heel should be used for though.

Watched their wwe championship match a few months ago

Everyone parties and does drugs, unless you're lame

@@ImChris4 *abused drugs

Not everybody does drugs,the people that choose not to do drugs and party prefer to live a long life,doing drugs and partying takes a toll on your body and that’s why most people that do that stuff die young,you are an IGNORANT PRICK.Also I’m not Including WEED because it is a Natural Plant that has Medical Benefits,but all the other stuff like Pills or Coke or whatever Y’all Have fun Overdosing and dying.

Or dead lmfao

Who the fuck is, U-Manga? You dumb shit.

@@MicroNuggets it's really not that serious 🥴

@@MicroNuggets It's how Regal pronounced his name

Good point tbh

The problem in America is a society that thinks being drunk is somehow wrong even though some of the greatest artists philosophers and some sports people in history where drunk as an Irishman in Glasgow. I can understand why wrestling would want teetotalers but it's not a bad thing by itself to be Mary and gay lol , you know you'll be like homophobic as well that's a middle easterners kind of thing when white people are homophobic that just cultural appropriation lol. Western culture is founded on women being drunk and bum sex as soon as America except those three values and get some lesbian drunk president it'll be the greatest nation on the planet.

@@ridanann yeeeah, no.

Love the William Regal reference😂

The Rock is on another level when it comes to just stardom in general, I don't think any wrestler is gonna eclipse that

If u had listen that’s exactly what they offered lol.

He obviously just enjoyed getting high and didnt want to stop its as simple as that.

@@serawesomebillofdawsonvill8070 Anytime meaning was even months down the road after you leave us

Wwe always pay for rehab he just didn’t want to except the fact he needed help

Same I didn’t found out about most of these wrestlers death until around the same time as you remember me & big cousin used to look up decreased wrestlers this was back in 2011-2012

Innuendo*

Stay away from my windows.

Bet your a soccer fan lmao

I think the JR was in professional Wrestling mode when he said that 11 broken ribs all at the same time basically sounds like a death sentence. that's just too many all that little internal bleeding surely amounts to enough to kill you what's a mention the mobility issues. medical sciences these days can work wonders but it still sounds like one of the most painful thing I can imagine never broken a rib in my body broken a few in other people's it looks really painful.

Uh it's wrapped in tape...😆

@@thomashall3314 you jab it in someone's throat

That's one of the most realistic ways to disable someone WWE has ever used. Go find a tough Samoan and ask him to jab you in the windpipe with his thumb, and see how difficult it is to breath for the next 30 seconds. Its similar to having the wind knocked out of you where you can't take a breath. It's awful.

@@jamesb1988 He might do it but he will dislocate his thumb even if its taped

@@thomashall3314 would still break or at least dislocate

IDK why, but I didn't care for HLA back then. Probably because the girls weren't that attractive.

Oh yeah, what a shame, we don't have cringy PG porn on WWE TV anymore and actually treat women like people, what misfortune that these regrettable days be ours...

@@knightshousegames The PG porn was cringy, but these are regrettable days for wrestling fans

@@spring-heeledjack3340 Theres still good wrestling on TV, WWE just doesn't make it.

I wouldn't say it's woke. Yeah women's wrestling is treated more legitimately now, but so was it in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Yeah the attitude era was the shits for women's wrestling, but I don't think it sets the standard for women's wrestling. Everyone knows their entire women's roster back then was taken from underwear models. Nowadays and the afforementioned decades women are legit athletes and train as such.

Bwahahaha, sure.

@@Cyginjv6vu hahaha you laugh but Vince McMahon is scared to face me & that's the bottom line

@@Cyginjv6vu besides.. JR is holding onto his dreams of future appearances... speaking to me would end those chances entirely

He's married to Ric Flairs daughter. Pretty sure he's doing alright.

@@billhicks6449 Well, being married to Ric Flair's daughter totally changes things!!! Obviously, he's a real man's man, living off his girlfriend!! That's so cute!!!! Because Ric totally has no debt and saved all his money and so he can just give it to his kid so she can give it all to her boyfriend, who is a failure in life the likes of which have not been seen since Donald J Trump! I wonder what it would be like, having my girlfriend pay my way in life while I pretend to have a business and be the guy whose only job in life is making sure a wrestler doesn't appear to be talking to themselves. Of course, I won't know, because I pay my own way in life and don't need to pay wrestlers to be friends with me.

@@DIESEL0759 Seek help.

I think you might be mistaken. From all the footage that I have seen, the man seems to be doing VERY well!

@@alexandertroy9621 What footage? The footage of him on every wrestling podcast so the talent doesn't appear to talk to themselves? That footage? If he was such a massive success, he wouldn't have to pay to get wrestlers to talk to him. He's the fat, hillbilly version of HHH.

He was being wreckless in the ring and was becoming unsafe to work with because of his self medicating and then going out and working a match! That's when they knew he had a problem, they offered to get him help by sending him to AND WWE paying for, rehab for him. Then, if he straightened up and got sober, they would bring him back! Umaga REFUSED help. So, therefore,they HAD to let him go because of his issues he refused to take care of. WWE was not at fault in any way. Sometimes, some people just don't want to be helped. Or their brain is so out of control that they believe they don't have a problem or that they don't need help because they can quit on their own, when they really can't. Sadly, that's what happened here. He refused multiple attempts for help offered to him. End of story. Sad to say, but these are just straight facts.

@@seanpurdom6380 I´m always wary putting the final judgment on a situation without having heard both sides of it. Umaga never spoke about this giving his side and knowing the WWE it´s a bit difficult for me to believe their version of events portraying themselves as the good guys.
