Wrestling's Worst On-Air Romances | Wrestling With Wregret 

God damn man it was uncanny

Too bad he shaved off his Hogan stache a year ago

It was scary good 😮😮

I noticed it too... it was spot on because of the grovel in his voice

Maybe he should pull a Lucille Ball and start smoking three thousand packs a day 🚬 then, the rasp will be permanent

Yeah that was a miracle

Facts

His legs should've turned to jelly.

That would’ve been more heartbreaking

“Here’s that push you wanted, pal!”

Was gonna say this, too.

@@mfdixon1985 exactly

LMFAO the honesty is what got me

Cakeamania, the sequel

And apparently encouraging Bubba to powerbomb her.

@@elneco4654 oh really? Damn

@@chayden153 I've heard Bubba talk about it. Mae was "do it you pussy" lol

@@chrisbuttonshaw2088 Mae Young. Bumping like a boss in her mid 70s.

@@chayden153 yes, when bubba was getting ready to go out, she had told him when he put her through the table, to "treat her like one of the boys"

"Bro, it's a work within a work!"

And even now it's very painful to sit through. Chaz and Marianna in particular is even worse.

@@FIXTREME "Also, women are no good, bro! Yes, I'm married with kids, bro, why are you asking, bro?"

Well I mean you can rebuild a woman who's been revealed as faking abuse. It's hard as hell but it's doable. Once a man is outed as an abuser, he is unsalvageable.

@@Schu1tzeyGaming In wrestling, maybe. But something similar to that storyline has happened in real life. Most notably with Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

I really hate that this is how people remember Stacy--well, that and bearding for Cl00ney. Per her socials and interviews she's done since retirement she seems a lovely woman, and a fantastic mother, and as a feminist she's tried and worked to make a life for herself outside of wrestling so she can put this image behind her.

It was not bad at all, I don't know what Brian is on

Vickie sold it and played her heelish part fantastically, to be fair.

@stop deleating my channel... Edge ended up breaking up with Lita after she Retired. And Edge went on to marry Beth Phoenix and Matt went on to marry Reby Sky. And both couples have kids now. Meanwhile Lita is still single and all alone. So in reality she’s the real loser here.

Putting Lita in as Edge's sexy rocker valet girlfriend seriously damaged her image as a competent, tough, likeable and technically-gifted wrestler who could hang with the guys (like she was with the Hardyz), and instead encouraged the audience to treat her in the most vile misogynistic way imaginable, like a useless sexd0ll and a scarlet woman to be st0ned at the city gates rather than just as a heelish bitchy girl. Lita/Amy has said as much about the angle since. It was abominable, and clearly motivated by petty sexist psychology. Mining Amy's personal life so deeply for a damn storyline should have been grounds for sueing, imo. Arguably, the ageism and sexism in the comedic spin on Edge/Vickie was also horrible and offensive for women working in and watching wrestling, but I'd venture it was probably easier for Vickie to take and less offensive by a few clicks., because it wasn't linked to obvious observable reality, and no-one was making d eath threats or the like over it.

@@FaysalIsGoated only if you count getting a male life partner and incubating/nursing his offspring as the ultimate 'win' and measure of success in this life🙄I'm sure that isn't the case for you, so why do you presume it's the case for women?

LMAO

Nice

Apparently Vince doesn't like long term booking

it was good up until you brought up alexa bliss. i think we all learned from the matt and lita thing that vince will turn buddy into a cuck

Can almost guarenteed that the backlash finally got to Vince’s desk and wwe went into damage control at that point.

also BreezAngo? they were in love and we never talk about it anymore????

It doesn't help that Marianna is no longer with us.

@@emanuelespinoza9325 Yea. R.I.P. Marianna

It was hard to watch back then too.

It should be, any abuse angle should be. That's how you know your morality compass still works.

Poor Test. Still had the best Big Boot.

Oh yeah, but he was a good mid-carder tho. RIP Andrew “Test” Martin I will always be a proud Testicle.

The eternal boy, the boy of boys

I have a feeling that commercial was written in mind for the girl to be a little kid, which would make the whole “you’re my present this year” less suspect

Cena’s character just does not give off “romantic” vibes in general.

The whole Cena and Nikki vs Miz and Maryse feud is ironic looking back with Cena accusing Miz of firing blanks when Miz made fun of him and Nikki for not having kids. Now Miz and Maryse have 2 kids but Cena and Nikki fell apart, she ended up marrying and having a kid with someone else and Cena's married again.

The only good thing about the Nikki/Cena being on-screen is when Miz and Maryse impersonated them.

@@Xehanort10 c'mon dude Cena obviously didn't wanna marry Nikki, she seems like the type to immediately divorce for half his shit and child support. Bellas only open their legs for paychecks

The stuff with Cena and Mickie in 2008 was pretty fun.

i'm STILL pissed that she didn't actually marry Test. I legit wanted them to be a couple and I was crushed for Test when the angle was finished. hated steph ever since

She wasn't in a romantic relationship with Jericho. Chris was subservient to her because she had power.

@@user-fe8gx3ie5v if you watch the tapes and read the IWC boards from the time, it seemed obvious that Chris was actually gunning for Stephanie in kayfabe and IRL (though he insists to this day he wasn't, to protect his ego), but he never got anywhere with her due to being a delusional egotistical shit-stirring loudmouth mark for himself. HHH may be also be a mark for himself as well as a brownnoser and a cheating so-and-so, but he quietly politics well and plays his position at least, which is something Chris would never have managed--and that is a requisite to be a partner of a McMahon and to stay in the family. So they rewrote the angle and retconned/memory-holed the original intent to protect the reputations of all parties. In terms of a spouse, Steph made the right decision for her brand/business and her family stability, though frankly (conjecture on my part) I doubt the conjugal romance and passion is much to write home about. Then again, in one's fifties does one really care about hanging from the chandeliers? Chris is still acting like a twenty-something, but it just looks sad.

Also, to a certain degree, soap operas.

@@justinhillenburg9286 Also, to a larger degree, the town of Burnley

It wouldn’t have given us his time with The Way though. Which I think reinvented Austin for the better

Theory is a homosexual tho

@@dadeo98 He has a girlfriend?

@@dinofacedindividual9462 The Way is my favorite things in old NXT

That's what my friend and I had discussed. He was younger and it would have been a little more believable. But like the other person said, The Way helped his career more.

She did an amazing job with the absolute trash they gave her. Getting over in the main event scene with that gimmick & script, at that time as a woman no less, was nothing short of spectacular.

How about Big Mama and Jimmy Valiant? They fit together, but really...he pimped her out to Dusty Rhodes at one point!

@@JMFabiano 😂😂😂

Right, I'm surprised the Kane and Terri one wasn't mentioned.

You couldn't be more correct; its definitely not just you.

@@richardtherichard26 How about the infamous kidnapping and implied drugging of Stephanie McMahon by Triple H? Or Angelina Love's jarring drugged slave zombie storyline with Winter in TNA where it was revealed Winter did it to be with Love, even showing Winter kiss Love on screen while she was in a drug-induced state, which counts as oral sexual assault. Winter even did Love's makeup while she was paralyzed. There's two HUGE examples. Where's my money?

@@richardtherichard26 Dude I don't need to. The examples are all over RU-vid and Google. Don't worry, I won't make you pay me because I doubt that you will ever acknowledge it. Tbh I sense you are the sort of person who thinks that MeToo is a dirty word.

Only snowflakes get offended by those things

As a little girl, I watched TNA & WCW. That was a lot of misogyny to unlearn.

Wasn't it his mother-in-law tho?

@@KalmoK I'm not sure. I think the abuser may have been described as 'an older female relative,' and they were implied to have been his mother, but it's been a long time so I'm not 100%. As far as I recall, he didn't grow up with his father, so I doubt it was a mother in law.

The story where he was about 8 and wanted to put "crushed leaves" in a girl is more telling.

How about Enzo and that KFC in the Show Ad? He really wanted to get with that chicken!!!

#1 is spot on, especially with the Lana/Bobby Lashley part.

And Palumbo did become the Marc Mero to Michelle's Sable.

Oh yeah...

And Summer Rae's momentum was a big casualty in the process.

Fairly standard in the noncey world of pro wrestling

That storyline was creepy as f***.

That was Beyond creepy

"Seems to be the new fad if your name's AJ"

@@ManiaxOnYTZeus I laughed so hard when he said on Impact

Why the hell would they want to rip off arguably one of the worst if not the worst angle in TNA history 😆

@@ziahamm1603 that's WWE and Vince McMahon for ya

i mean let's face it, The Rock's (kayfabe) true love, is himself

The only thing the Rock puts his hands on longingly each day is a barbell

Calling mutual attraction between him & Trish a romance is an interpretation lacking in nuance.

@@nygma619 Why do you think "romance" was in quotation marks? And frankly nobody cares anymore.

Yes what happen to him was a grade A burial.

"gaslighting" fuck off

@@SteRDLK Nope.

@@scotthardie5141 Yes. You don't know what gaslighting is.

Or Trish Stratus and Jeff Hardy. They definitely had potential, but the chemistry wasn't there

Noam Dar and Alicia Fox is was blink and you miss it.

It was a real life drama that went into tv

Because it wasn't a 'romance'. It was the wake of an ugly break-up of a real (and bad) relationship via a fling, that was then mined for reality TV fuel and a shipping war, then put on blast in the most sexually-exploitative and female-degrading way possible.

@@BorislavVeselinov At least that was better then al Wilson and dawn marie storyline

@@Celticgamer89 at least al/Dawn Marie made me laugh. Can't say the same about Vince/Divas

Also -Dixie Carter -TNA/Wwe Monday Night Wars

What about: -Assault on Devil's Island -Assault on Death Mountain -Summer Rae's main WWE roster run -Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation -Shawn Michaels in Baywatch

Me too. Hopefully we find a way through this to something better🤝

Oh yes, amazing heel behaviour by the top baby-face of the company.

Minor quibble: Sheri did something with TNA in 2006..

@@kevindouglas5333 Thank you very much, I was not aware of that.
