WHAT A TWIST | Wrestlings Greatest Swerves! 

Thanks for watching, what should we cover in future videos? Also, make sure to drop a like to help get the video picked up by RU-vid’s algorithm 💪🏻👊🏻🤘🏻

Mark Henry “ Retirement Speech “ was one of the best swerves in history IMO

The salmon jacket segment was legendary. The jacket added the cherry on top that made the swerve so memorable.

The collective shock in the superdome was the biggest thing about the streak ending, the silence spoke volumes.

Salmon jacket. Enough said!

Considering the number of people Triple H turned on over the course of his career, it should have been NO surprise that he turned on Seth Rollins. One swerve you missed was one in WCW nobody saw coming at the time (except possibly Bobby Heenan). At WCW's 1996 Bash at the Beach during the match between Sting, Lex Luger and Randy Savage vs Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and a mystery partner, Hulk Hogan came to the ring and used his leg drop on Savage, making an unexpected heel turn and revealing himself as the mystery partner of Hall and Nash.

2 honourable mentions I want to add are Ciampa turning on Gargano just as he was going away to recover from his injury and Dean Ambrose flipping the script and turning on Seth right after they won the tag titles in honour of Roman.

How they didn’t Make Mark Henry champion after that swerve baffles me so much.

I will NEVER forget how shocked I was when The Undertaker's streak was broken. I was watching it online and I was trying to convince myself that it was just a mistake, but when I saw the 21-1 on the screen, I literally screamed! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Eric Bischoff's WWE debut 20-years was awesome I remember that like it was yesterday Eric's run brought me so many Memories the night he brought Stacy Keibler to Raw from smackdown was great Jerry Lawler's Commentary on that night was brilliant and Mark Henry's Fake retirement was absolutely hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

How can you forget Hulk hogan joining the NWO. That was one of the biggest swerves in wrestling history.

I'd say the two biggest shocks in wrestling history are 2, the streak breaking 1, vinnymac retiring

No way i thought k.o was gonna be universal champion but seeing hhh pedigree seth was shocking and no lie Kevin Owens was one of the best Universal champions of all time and it gave us the greatest segment which is the Festival of friendship with him and Jericho that was amazing

Wasn't it Cole who dubbed it the Heist of the Century?

Back when we thought Dean Abrose was the one to go heel on the Shield.

what about Stone Cold siding with Vince McMahon at WM 2001, when they had been bitter enemies for years?

The Rock's heel turn in late 1998 caught me completely off guard and he gave good reasons for it which was that he never forgot that the fans booed him when he originally came in as a good guy so he wanted to hurt them back.

it still gets me emotional that not only did taker lose to brock, but brock didn't want to end his streak. brock had respect for his streak and didn't want to end it at first

I still put Stephanie turning on Vince at Armageddon 99 as one of the best swerves ever.

How is Shawn Michaels turning on Marty Jennety not on the list?

Still the best cash in of all time from Seth Rollins. I didn't even think of him cashing in at WM31. I was expecting Roman to walk out as champ that day. And Seth's heel turn was one of THE greatest heel turns of all time. It was done perfect. When Seth grabbed the chairs, I thought he grabbed it for The Shield in case Triple H and Orton tried to do something, but nope, it was to hit Dean and Roman. Very unexpected especially since they just turned face and were having an amazing run. Dean's face said it all.

Thanks 4 showing, The World's Strongest Man, Mark Henry some love!!!

"Avid fan of scissors, Billy Gunn" 🤣

I was watching Wrestlemania 30 on the Network when it happened. Pokémon Y was on my 3DS in my hands as I was trading Pokémon with a random passersby. I'm watching the Undertaker match. At one point, I look down at my 3DS to deny a dumb trade offer. It took a minute for the other guy to call that quits. When it finally did end, I looked up at my TV to find everyone quiet. The Undertaker was lying on the ground, Paul Heyman was in visible shock, and the audience was silent in a way that chilled me to my core. I thought the Network bugged out on me again, or that some accident had just happened live. When I saw that 21-1 flash on the Titantron, I tell you nobody was prepared to see this. It took at least 6 minutes to hear some sound from the audience, let alone the announcement table. I can't speak for everyone watching in the stadium, but I slowly began to give up on WWE after that night. With the Streak broken and all our favorite wrestlers moving on to grander pastures or passing away entirely, I started to wonder: *What's left to keep old fans like me invested?*

Ending the undertaker’s streak was the worst decision WWE ever made. It took away the most special thing they ever built. It was a short sighted, bone head decision.

Maybe not as big as some on the list I still remember when Tugboat turned against The Bushwhackers during a 6 man tag he then changed his name to Typhoon and joined Earthquake to form The Natural Disasters with Jimmy Hart as their manager . Not only heels did swerves either remember when Jimmy Hart turned against Money Inc after they took a briefcase and smashed Brutus Beefcake across the face with it , Beefcake had just returned after facial surgery he had 3 years prior . Hulk Hogan came back and joined Beefcake to form Mega Maniacs with Jimmy Hart as their manager .

Man, what the hell is The Roadie doing in here?? 😂 For some reason, the missing ones popping into my head all involve either Shawn Michaels or NXT. Barbershop window, the Tyson double turn, fake DX reunion. You could almost do a full video on the great betrayals during NXT's peak. Sami/Owens, Ciampa/Gargano, Kai/Nox, Strong/Dunne, Cole/UE.

Got a few corrections Michael Cole dubbed "the heist of the century" Rollins vs HHH took place in WM33

Can't believe you put Rollins over Edge when it came to cashing in. When Edge did, it was unpredictable, and he cashed in almost over a year into having the briefcase. I was there when Rollins chased in that night, and I'm pretty damn sure they threw him in there because the main even was getting drowned out in boos from 75k in Santa Clara.

Honorable mention swerve: the crowd hijacking WMX8 and forcing Hogan back to the red and yellow when everyone, including Hulk himself, thought it dead? It was a swerve no one from WWE saw coming.

"Why is my name on this list...?"

I thought Michael Cole said the heist of the century lol

I'm shocked the Austin-McMahon alliance wasn't on the list. 😵

21-1. The “WHAT?!” heard around the world.

Narrator: *With the Rock's popularity growing to the point it was threatening to eclipse that of even Stone Cold!* Me thinking: *Yeah, this narrator was DEFINITELY high or smoking when he made that comment!*

For me because i lived it literally it was trish turning on chris jericho and triple h turning on hbk because i didnt see that coming at all and daniel bryan turning on aj styles in late 2018 omfg i was like whatt??

Rollins cash in at WrestleMania is probably the best thing to happen in Professional Wrestling ever...was such a awesome moment 💯👌🏻... great video man 👌🏻

I still believe that the streak should have never been broken.

having Brock breaking the streak was such a huge mistake ☹️ they could create a story letting someone like Bray Wyatt build up some legacy follow up, being the new "supernatural" guy the only one able to fall taker at WrestleMania and passing the torch this way in a simbolic manner

Do you think you'll ever make a career documentary on Asuka?

Henry should've won the belt when he did that swerve. They ruined it by not having him win

I watch this too when I was a teenager

That Mark Henry one was pure gold

I legit thought Mark Henry was going to Beat Cena. That’s how good that turn was. Great list bro!

I was in NOLA, 27 rows from the ring when brock beat taker at mania. The superdome went quite, and my first thought was "that ref just botched the biggest call in history, hes getting fired". That night was crazy.

Loved the video but I wish you had more content from other promotions like AEW or TNA/IMPACT. They have incredible moments that would fit your lists.

The thing about the streak of the Undertaker being broken was that the Undertaker only saw one person worthy enough of ending the streak, Brock Lesnar. Plus Undertaker said he was getting a bit old to be doing what the younger people were going around him at the time, that and a few injuries gave him the reason he needed to end the streak.

Edge was the greatest money in the bank briefcase holder, it got more and more watered down afterwards. The cat was out of the bag, and since then it's no longer exciting or a surprise for someone to cash in on a beaten opponent

Ending the streak is still the worst thing WWE ever did. 0 positives, only negatives.

rollins turn and henerys fake retirement were the greatest ones in modern wrestling history imo.

It was Micheal called that dubbed it “the heist of the century” not JBL

I know Mark was seemingly ok with it but still, The Streak should NEVER have been broken. Especially not by Brock Lesnar.

The biggest swerve of all here is we finally got a video with no errors 😮

YES! The scissors enthusiasm got mentioned!!!

Henry should have defeated Cena at MITB and have dropped the belt to Bryan at SummerSlam.

I remember when the streak was broken there was a rumor that the titantron said 22-0 for a sec

Maybe you should do some research on an angle called the big turn . Involving ole Anderson and Dusty Rodes took place over a year and a half. Was the greatest swerve I ever seen. The others don’t even come close

Man you guys missed so many great swerves like Jake the Snake swerve on Ultimate Warrior during Warriors feud with Taker, Orndoff swerve on Hogan and joining Bobby Henning's crew, Mike Tyson joining DX, Evolution turning on Orton, and HHH joining Austin to form the group Two Man Power Trip by not helping the Rock (wife cried about that one🤣🤣🤣).

Billy Gunn hasn't aged a bit!

The biggest I think is when Vince says he's retiring but came back and mess with creative again

It was Michael Cole who dubbed it as *HEIST* *OF* *THE* *CENTURY*

"current scissor enthusiast" lol

I remember even when I was like 14 or something I figured out that edge would cash it in when someone was beat up. But still, they waited long enough that I was surprised by it when he did.

Would definitely add Sting joining the WWE giving Team Cena the win at Survivor Series 2014. It was absolutely surreal!

When Seth Rollins cashed in the money in the bank at wrestlemania, I went crazy. That’s my favorite WWE moment of all time.

I'm saying it right here and right now.. this channel is top 10 RU-vid channels of all time. So well done. So captivating!

Russos deadly game has to be in this.

Michael Cole dubbed it "The Heist of the Century"

0:43 Seth Rollins MITB Cash In 3:16 Edge sets precedent for MITB cash in 4:09 Seth Rollins Chooses Himself Over The Team 6:10 HHH Turns On Seth Rollins 7:29 THE STREAK is over 10:50 Hebner’s Twin Referee

The Streak should've never have ended. It was the best thing about Wrestlemania

The rock didn't spend his first few months in the WWF as a heel. He was a white meat baby face, and it did not go well that's where the chant "Die Rocky Die" comes from. Hell, he won the intercontinental championship as a baby face before joining the Nation

Current scissor enthusiast Billy Gunn....... one reaction to that would be uncontrollable laughter

Seth Rollins' cash in at Wrestlemania was VERY OBVIOUS. It was anything but "swerve that no one saw it coming" unless someone was without a brain in their head. 😂😂😂😂

I think you’re missing when Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff turned on Hulk Hogan. Even though it was teased for two or three weeks prior, it still shocked audiences to the core and created one of the biggest and most profitable feuds of all time.

Love your videos ‼️

What about *Jinder Mahal* beating *Randy Orton?* I DEFINITELY did NOT see that one coming at all! But one even more shocking is *Chris Jericho* beating *The Rock* AND *Stone Cold* on the SAME NIGHT! Now that is worthy of being #2, next to *Undertaker's Streak Loss!* 💯

Undertakers streak ending was the right but the 2nd loss wasn't needed. The 1 loss was as big a deal as the streak itself.

Everyone and their moms knew Seth was gonna cash in at mania, great video 📹

That Mark Henry retirement was quality but the Rollins cash in, did anyone honestly NOT predict that? Seth's turning on The Shield was a far bigger swerve just because they'd spent months implying that it was Ambrose who would turn.

1:52 it was Michael Cole

Not sure if this counts as a swerve, but in my opinion one of WWE's best surprise moments was the Shawn Michaels fake Bret Hart pop.... "WHO'S YOUR DADDY MONTREAL?!?"

Hogan turning heel!?!?!?

This video made me realize how badly I need the Corporate Elbow as a move in a wrestling game.

Wasn't it Michael Cole who called it the heist of the century?

There will never be a good explanation or excuse for the streak ending. It did not make any sense and was and still is one of their worst moves.

It was Cole who said it was the Heist of the Century.

I know it's been said before, but the streak(for Undertaker) should never have been broken. Mark Calloway should have retired undefeated at wrestlemania. Or at the VERY least, it should've been a newcomer that broke it. And in storyline, you could say that Undertaker had finally gotten old enough and slowed down enough that some young guy finally beat him.

17:02 like batman and the joker becoming best friends but both of them are actually Lex Luthor

Good stuff

At Survivor Series 1993 just like Bobby Heenan I thought there would be Doink and 3 other Doinks instead we got The Bushwhackers and Men on a Mission .

5:21 why did you blur this out

It was Michael Cole who said "heist of the century"

Taker was injured in that match and couldn’t continue, that’s why he and Brock decided to end it

I don’t think the wrestlemania cashing in is a swerve. It was expected.

Eric Bishoff signing with WWE ended my active watching of wrestling because it meant to me there was never gonna be able EZE ran wrestling company again. WCW was my favorite

Streak is broken was a TERRIBLE swerve.

You blurred out a chair shot to the back ? lol

Why are there footages going to a blank screen

Why was Big Cass in that fatal four way?

It wasn't JBL that called it "the heist of the century" I think it was Michael Cole.
