The Most Insane 2 Years In Wrestling History? (2022-23) 

lots of y’all asking why LA Knight wasn’t mentioned, there was a 5 min section on rising stars at the end that I ended up cutting did a whole vid on the new wave, so I didn’t feel like it needed to be repeated all over. apologies guys🙏🏽 ofc he’s one of the most over guys in the company we all know.

Triple H doesn’t get enough credit. He was absolutely the MVP of the last two years. He knows what the fans want, and he gives it to us, no strings attached. I’m incredibly grateful that I was around to see these 24 months play out, because it’ll be extremely difficult to top.

Zayn turning on roman Zayn's montreal homecoming Cody's run to mania Roman retains at mania CM Punk's return at Collision Jey turning on the bloodline Seth's run as world champion LA Knight's rise to superstardom Edge's debut in AEW Randy Orton's return at Survivor Series CM Punk's return in WWE. What a year of wrestling for me.

Petition to call Post-Covid Era as "The Renaissance Era"

2022 - 2023 will be an amazing 2 years to remember. Austin returned at Wrestlemania 38, The Rock returned, Roman Reigns holding a title for 1000 days, Cody Rhodes returning to WWE after leaving AEW, Vince McMahon retiring after thinking he will never leave, MJF pipebomb on AEW and finally winning the world championship, AEW having the largest PPV in history, big signings and lastly CM Punk returning to WWE after getting fired from AEW and almost a decade away from the company. Gotta love Wrestling

We gotta give credit to HHH, For giving us back to back incredible years. There have been some questionable decisions, Yes that's true but the good heavily outclassed the bad. He atleast makes the product interesting to watch and has something to offer everyweek, He gave us so many moments, So many incredible matches and storyline in the span of 2 years.

“The man, the myth, the senile psychopath.” I laughed way too hard at that, largely due to how true it is.

I swear we’ve only had 3 years in this decade, but these have been some of the craziest years in wrestling history. I never would’ve thought my love for wrestling would increase tenfold with all the crazy mind f*ckery that occurred. I really wish I can replay it all, as I truly think this is the best era we’ve had in YEARS. HHH truly is the best thing that has happened to WWE in decades, and everything he’s done truly stands out. Whether it be the constantly great PPV quality since SummerSlam 2022, listening to us fans, and of course giving us legendary moments left and right. And while AEW may not be the best right now, I enjoyed them a lot throughout these years as well. You summed up everything perfectly dude, and this is definitely your best video yet. My 3 personal highlights for this year alone although I loved it all, was attending my first ever WrestleMania this year in my home😌, attending AEW Full Gear 2023 in my home for my birthday🥲, and of course watching Survivor Series 2023 with my family, and witnessing the damn impossible. The return of CM Punk to WWE. God I’ll forever love this year!😭 I can’t wait for 2024 now😁.

To get to see Stone Cold, The Rock, Randy Orton, CM Punk and finally Cody Rhodes AND the Goat R truth make there return is incredible. Also Santos Escobar cutting the best heel promo of the year was so sick

The Triple H Era has been crazy. But Wrestlemania 40 season is about to be even more insane. Bc we could possibly have John Cena, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, The Rock, Stone Cold, Randy Orton, Aj Lee, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, & CM Punk all at the same Wrestlemania!!!

In my opinion, 2023 may be the first year in forever without an outright *BAD* WWE PPV/PLE. You could call some mediocre or just decent, but I really can't think of a real *bad* show.

Honestly, this just proves that Triple H is better at booking than Vince McMahon. Yes, McMahon was good during the Attitude and Ruthless Agresssion era. Vince's booking went downhill during the PG era and hasn't been that great since. Triple H's matches have been better in recent years compared to old matches.

I'm a WWE guy, but I appreciate AEW for its existence. Without AEW, half of these craziness would never happen. AEW competing against WWE really makes wrestling fun again

Triple H adding the War Games stipulation to Survivor Series was one of the best things that happened in WWE in last 10 years. Bc before that, that PLE was so dead and had completely lost its "Big 4" feel.

2022 would always hold a special place in my heart since I went to my first WrestleMania and saw Cody Rhodes and Steve Austin return in the same night and gave us an amazing performance that night in Texas. The crowd was electric during their matches.

As an AEW mark, Hunter's been doing a GREAT job recovering the pieces of McMahan's misdeeds from his booking and plenty more. It's beautiful to see a company like WWE who i've been a fan of since i was a kid and didn't give up on them even with everything going against them.

Honestly, These 2 years had everything. Vince retiring, Punk making his return, The greatest storyline in the modern era (Bloodline storyline) With sami zayn being the ultimate underdog and much more.

All of this kickstarted with Cody returning. Insane.

These last 2 years have been special. Legends returning, amazing matches, the birth of future superstars, and moments forever etched in history. I never would've thought Stone Cold would wrestle another match, Cody would return to WWE, and Randy would ever wrestle again and yet here we are where all of that has happened and more.

Wrestling this year was insane can't wait to see what 2024 or 2025 going to be

These two years have been Phenomenal. Huge returns, big moments, great storylines, must watch PLE/PPV's and many amazing matches were packed in this two years. Even the two years before this were mostly good. Overall, wrestling have been on absolutely FIRE and hope it stays like this for all the years to come.

i didnt even realize how crazy it was till watching this but KO main eventing wrestlemania 2 YEARS in a row is so dope, love that for my boi. not my biggest takeaway from the video but i think that deserves some credit! the highlights for me in the last 2 years were wyatt's return, cody's return, rock's return, the entire bloodline story, gunther's IC title reign, and the one that hit me right at home, wyatt's unfortunate passing.

That DAY 1 ppv shocked me to the core . I slept knowing that Brock vs roman is for the universal title . I woke up at 5 am finding Brock holding the WWE title . I thought I was still dreaming 😂

I still think calling this era the "Game Era" would be awesome, not just because of the HHH of it all but also due to WarGames being a staple of the era as well as the feud between WWE and AEW being more of a game than a war.

The only thing I can say is *THANK YOU HUNTER*

One great segment of these part years you missed was Brock raising Cody's hand at Summerslam. Though the story heading into it wasn't good, that match was just 🔥🔥

This is the redemption arc of wrestling. Somehow someway, 2020 was a blessing in disguise. Even at the worse of times everything changed and thank God it did ✊

Man, your last few lines shed a tear on my eyes. I genuinely felt 10 years younger. Thank you brother!

35:47 Don reference is crazy love that u did it.

WWE is the best its been since The Attitude Era and 2024 has all the potential to be their best year ever with the potential signings of women like Mercedes and Giulia + CM Punk being in WWE will make the weeklies, feuds and dream matches much more interesting and the PLEs in deifferent countries again. 👌

2022-2023 has been amazing. Look at what happened: Cody Rhodes & CM Punk returning, 2 Great Wrestlemanias, The PPVs were fun to watch, MJF Nuke promo, Brawl In & Brawl Out, Judgment Day & The Bloodline, etc. I can go on and on. What a time to be alive.

The whole butterfly effect with Roman getting covid..damn I never thought it like that . Crazy man.

These last two years of wrestling have been stacked. 2024 is only gonna get better. Can't wait to see what HHH cooks up.

I remember exactly where I was when the news broke that Vince McMahon had resigned in 2022. I was at a Mexican restaurant in Florida with a friend and his girlfriend and his roommate, celebrating my college graduation. The tv in front of me was on Sportscenter, and I read the news on the ticker at the bottom of the screen and my jaw just dropped. My friend’s roommate asked me what was I reacting to and when I explained to her the situation, she responded “you know wrestling’s fake right?” I said “Bitch, I know it’s fake but the scandal is real enough to get the most important man and owner of the biggest promotion in the industry to retire even though he’s been quoted as saying he’ll only retire when he’s dead.”

6:50 If Roman never got Covid, Big E wouldn't be injured and probably still wrestling, the World Heavyweight title probably wouldn't be created and Cody may have finished his story by now. There is so much to this "butterfly" effect

Unpopular opinion: WWE in late 2022 onwards have been putting the best product they've ever done. Yes even better than the attitude era.

MJF and Adam Cole's bromance, Timeless Toni Storm and Christian Cage's dead father gimmick have brought me back to AEW

Love you man! I was just talking to one of my friends and telling him "if I could find a way to catch up on everything since I've been gone I'd watch again". Then I found this in my feed. You even covered the exact amount of time I missed since watching with the piped in crowd was too weird and I quit watching for the first time in over 25 years.

I started watching wrestling in late 2009. So I can confidently say this is the best WWE has been since I've started watching.

Mid 2020-2023 was one the best wrestling years to watch and your channel really was a joy on this ride

Man! What a great recap! Really bring you all the way back through all the emotions of everything that happened!

I'm glad I got into wrestling at the perfect time. My friend had an extra ticket to the 2022 Money in the Bank in Vegas and let me go with him. I wasn't a fan prior to the event, but it all just clicked in my head and I finally understood why people love wrestling. I've been a mark ever since and I love that everything is just getting better and better.

WWE is the best it’s ever been right now, can’t wait to see what will happen in 2024!

Good video. I liked how you focused on the posative things for both companies.

Edge should've got that world title run. His return was EPIC and he re instated his dominance ASAP. Stone Cold coming back was insane

Id be interested in a “Nick Khan’s impact on WWE” video but idk if it falls under your usual retrospectives. I feel like he’s done a lot to restore WWE aura

Thanks dude for dropping the masterpiece❤

one of the best wrestling videos i've ever seen - great stuff

This is the first full year I’ve been into wrestling full blown and it’s been great. Learning so much and being invested in so many stories. Going to all in at Wembley was incredible and I’ll always remember it. I honestly can’t wait for the next year of wrestling, it’s gonna be great. Especially when roderick strong is revealed as the devil lol

Just found the channel. Love the content. I was at Mania 2022 and I can say the hype building up around Cody’s return was so fucking real. Between hearing “wrestling has more than one royal family”, and as a born and raised Texan hearing that glass shatter, I thought I was gonna die.

Wooah everything is fine but that Shah rukh khan reference caught me off guard. I was cooking and wasn't paying attention but your keyword game is strong bro. Kudos to you

This is really well made, well edited and a fair account of what went on in 2022/23, and what a couple of years they were. The sleeping giant, WWE, held back for so long by McMahon was unleashed.

I can't believe that I watched a 50min video which is all about wrestling, nice video bro and keep making this kind of videos.

Man I love Wrestling!!!! And another banger from this guy toooooo......

idk why or how but this guy's commentary is damn entertaining

I started watching wrestling at the beginning of ‘22 at the behest of a few friends who are long time fans. Safe to say I entered at a good time. It really feels like these years are going to be known as a wrestling renaissance; from AEW’s inception to WWE firing on all cylinders again, and even the relative growth of brands like NJPW and Impact/TNA, there’s so much good wrestling out there now no matter your taste and it seems like audience exposure is only growing. Excited to see what 2024 brings!

i saw an ad on twitter for Sammy vs Cody in the ladder match in January of 2022. That match and ad got me back into wrestling after at least 6 years. Very very glad i’m back into wrestling and more into it then i ever was.

Amazing video! It’s been wild!

You also forgot Jade Cargill jumping ship, but there was truly a lot to talk about, so maybe that's why

Great video! Gained a subscriber. Keep up the great work!

37:56 bad is an overstatement, the more accurate term is underwhelming

The CM PUNK connection to SRK in Don! Damn😂 that was epic!

Bro I really love your channel its been like that for a while😂🎉😊😅

Very good video man, everything spot on!

Bro really didn't talk about the rise of LA Knight in the entire vid

craziest moment from these years?

Last year so beautiful man . But this year I can only remember 3 things . Dirty Dom's Rise LA'Knight Yeah CM Punk Cult of personality .

I was at the Smackdown where Jimmy and Jey turned on Roman and I’m sure it was fire watching it happen on tv, but seeing it live, and it being my first live event, it was crazy. It honestly felt like the entire arena was vibrating, and it probably was, from the crowd’s reaction. Really glad I got back into wrestling and I’m so glad that I was there in person for such an iconic moment that is and will continue to be mentioned for a long time.

India mentioned let's gooo🇮🇳🇮🇳

I caught that smokin aces thumbnail reference 👍 nice touch

I know Roman's been scarce since Summerslam, but everything prior to that this year may have honestly been him at his very best, and the Bloodline as a whole. Cody Rhodes has been the most consistent star, imo. He's a big highlight all throughout the year. He already feels like a top guy, the biggest babyface, yet he hasn't won a world title yet meaning he can still go far higher. Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Rhea Ripley, Dominick Mysterio, Gunther... what a damn roster. I can't freaking wait for the road to Wrestlemania.

This wrestling boom hit us and we ain even know it . we thought bullet club was peek , but it just kept going up .

You’re literally a 🐐💯🔥🔥😭

Another superkickstudios video is everything I needed

Masterpiece Video🙏

The Past Two Years Have Been Simply Incredible To Watch I'm Hoping It Continues In 2024 I'm Here For It Wrestling Is Back Indeed

40:07 that was my first live Smackdown... there are no words to explain that moment.

Definitely man! Eversince COVID ended,wrestling received the leverage it needed and now is standing at one of the highest highs it has ever been!!

Bhai Video bohot aacha tha . Love from India

That Sharukh Khan Cm punk nod was out of nowhere lol

Nice video bro👍🏻🔥

Awesome video!

I Had A Lot Fun Watching Wrestling In 2022-2023. It's Amazing To Be A Wrestling Fan This Time. Im Expecting Some Crazy Shi In 2024 Too. 💯

Over all, WHAT A TIME to be a wrestling fan!!!!

Watching this in mid-February 2024, and it’s mental how the first two months of this year have already topped all the events in this video in terms of absolute absurdity: the whole Rock, Cody and Roman fiasco going from it’s so over to we’re back every other minute, and of course the horrific sexual abuse allegations against Vince and the WWE that could lead to a massive restructuring at the top.

Crazy I haven’t felt this excited about wrestling in a long time

Great video

Wrestling has been fantastic these past 2 years 🔥

Booking episode coming bro? Gunther one and Four Horse women video too Eager to listen your perspective really!✨

Really well done.

You forgot about the most important thing… Dom getting released from prison!!! 😂

2023 has been the best year for me as a WWE fan since I was 11. That 11 year old me wouldn’t believe that I was at the show in 2023 where THE ROCK returned.

Fantastic video

It's so insane im back following it for the first time since 2013 a few months ago

man im from sj puerto rico and had the chance to go to Backlash but decided not to since i wasnt watching wrestling at the time, man i regret it so much, but hopefully seeing how successful it was they'll decide to come back soon rather than later

A little mention to LA knight but none the less, what a video, what a 3 years of wrestling. 2024 would be amazing, again!!!!!

I love how triple H reinvigorated wwe man. I love when a PLE comes around it's fun to be a wwe fan again

Just started my shift Perfect to listen too while I work

Ik this is crazy random but using bittersweet poetry as the background music is such a W

I got into WWE back in April of last year and it's been so much fun. I feel like I got on the train at a perfect time.
