Adam Bomb should not only be on the list, but at the top of it!! Sadly they never gave him the push needed for him to succeed, a feud with a Taker would’ve been ideal..
Yeah! Agreed. But I'm from Sweden, and I don't think the whole idea of Islamic terrorism is as offensive as it was in the US after the whole WTC thing and the US/Arab wars.
How was that angle his fault? I never understood that. WWE came up with that idea and like all workers he went with it. It was not his fault that the bombings happened the same time frame. Now had he got on the mic and made a derogatory reference to it on his own, then yeah fire him. And they still could have kept him around and used him. He had the look, the mic work and was a legitimate wrestler (Olympic wresting).
Brandon White he didn't got over fans took it too seriously in a mix of comedy and his mic work... Barrett was a legitimate heel... I agree with you... But it wasn't his fault that people got over with that bad news gimmick.... That gimmick portrayed Barrett as a last of that character in a blend of his excellent promo and mic work.... The same thing is happening with rude and his rude day gimmick
"I've got some bad news for you." -Bad News Barret In my honest opinion, I always considered Barret a MUCH better on air speaking personality than he ever was a wrestler. I think that Nexus would've never worked without him as leader. But his wrestling ability was mediocre at best. Daniel Bryan really put the angle over during their debut on Raw. Him choking out Justin Roberts was Attitude era-esque. It just sucks they fired D-Bry for 90 days, to kill his heel momentum and help the group as a whole. Daniel Bryan was light years ahead of anyone within that group as a wrestling machine. But D-Bry with Wade Barret would've been money together.
HHH beating Owen at WrestleMania is the only HHH victory at Mania that pisses me off. I don't blame him though. But essentially, when Owen couldn't beat the B level DX guy after all the build up, THAT killed The Black Hart.
O'Hare was a terrible promo. That's why his push was shelved. He used to burst out laughing and forget his lines when doing promos on house shows. If you look at the devils advocate video promos he did they're clearly recorded one line at a time and cut together as that was the only way to do it with him. He was still a freak of an athlete though. The Seanton Bomb in wcw was a thing of beauty.
^ This is true tbh. I don't think a lot of people realize that about the Devil's Advocate promos either. They were produced awesomely but O'Hare was a risky promo for sure.
mordecai gimmick was liked backstage vince even said to kevin *you gonna meake your 1st million son* but an incident happened , according to kevin , he was drinking in a bar and some guy came to him and picked a fight he bashed his head with a beer bottle. and the guy tried to sued wwe and kevin, that's the reason why he got released. kinda sad that i like the mordecai gimmick , if he only had self control he could've been great. and we might've have seen mordecai , kane and undertaker as a stable at some point.
@@jindermahal322 I Kinda Thought The Vampire Gimmick Suited Undertaker Better Undertaker= Your Run Of The Mill Unique Deadman/Vampire Hybrid Undertaker Might've Had Jagged Fangs And Dracula's Cape LOL
kyle damron it was OK, it's nothing on his own creation in Broken or Woken Matt. There is no limit to where his character can go, he has been "reincarnated" which means he's lived forever and has unlimited promo material from the history of human civilisation.
Victor Colquhoun I like Broken Matt in TNA and ROH but whatever WWE is doing with his character isn't working for me. I am aware of what reincarnated means and but I still a bigger fan of V1.
kyle damron yeah the restraints of pg tv and WWE being control freaks when it comes to characters and storylines will probably bury the Brokenness out of Matt. Also TNA used Reby, Matt's baby son and Senior Benjamin! Plus he hasn't done any communicating with animals, oh and Vanguard 1 is missing too.
I think the idea was definitely ahead of it's time. Look at Smackdown, they use a similar format to educate their audience about the superstar. Matt had this shit figured out 15 years ago.
Neither of the hardys should've ever been anything solo. They were a decent tag team but horrible as singles stars. They should both be irrelevant unless they tag up again.
Mordecai definitely felt prematurely cut. RTC were EXCELLENT villains, I agree. Matt V.1.0 was a bit of a proto-version of his recent characters. The Black Hart joined the Nation of Domination, makes sense to me.
I think what you meant to say is: Wtf is up with human beings picking the same fucking names for their children that everyone else has already used ad nauseam?
My two favorite eras of Smackdown were "The Ruthless Aggression era" and "Friday Night Smackdown era". Friday Night Smackdown felt like a proving ground for former mid card talent going to the main event level. It felt fair and balanced. I'm glad management took a chance to even showcase the "charismatic" side of Brian Kendrick, together with his phenomenal wrestling ability. I just think that his "addictions" are what destroyed any chance that he had with that amazing gimmick. He admitted to this during his Cruiserweight Classic personality introduction. He's doing well on 205 Live now. But unfortunately nobody really watches that show (we miss you Enzo..).
Nah personally I hated it. The gymmock was too cringy for me. Would have been less cringy if they cut straight the point and got him to rock a clan hood.
I loved the Right To Censor *and* I loved their theme music, which contrary to common complaint was absolutely not just an ear piercing siren, it had a badass bassline underneath that was pure edge. Also, changing The Godfather to The Goodfather was just one of the cleverest little things. He was once The Godfather - now he's just a good father, people. A pimp changing his ways and becoming a responsible dad? Total heel move! Now Owen joining the Nation of Domination because he was the _black_ Hart was also witty but I don't like the sneering undertones so they get nothing for that.
that's why as a canadian of hatian descent... i for one was thrilled to have owen ''black'' hart as a active member of the nation of domination... ''Enough Is Enough And It's Time For a Change...'' ''i tried to be a nice guy...''
It's not like why WWE didn't want to, but WHO didn't want Owen to be pushed to the top? That man IMO is Stone Cold Steve Austin. With WWE trying to make Austin the top babyface of the company to be the foil for Mr. McMahon's evil persona and the fact that Austin still held grudge with Owen after the the latter nearly paralyzed him for real and for life at SummerSlam, no wonder why Owen began treading water in the midcard never to get another big push for the WWE Championship
Could've been awesome. Owen joins the Nation and recruits them in his feud with Vince and DX/Corporation. Instead.. we got Blue Blazer. Mordecai could've been an excellent character in the vein that Undertaker was.... if Kevin Fertig was half the worker Mark Calaway was. Instead, we got a few squashes then.... Kevin Thorn. Which itself could've been what Gangrel should have been but.... we all know how that turned out. Honestly, it's depressing to think of just how many times WWE has taken something that should have been big and screwed it up.
ivaneurope Well that is a wildly inaccurate opinion. Especially if you've ever watched anything from Austin on the incident, or from Vince pertaining to the family. It's relatively well documented. The internet is your friend, no need to bash Austin for no real reason....even if it is 'IMO' .
I remember him "setting" a guys foot on fire lol, then making the Ultimate Warrior sick and then never returning. Neither did. Strange times before the internet.
I often wonder what goes through WWE creatives brains sometimes (other than “Vince McMahon loves big sweaty men”) They constantly piss away perfectly good ideas, or ignore the fans Fans: Cool! Sting is in the WWE give us Sting/Taker Writers: No no no! Fans don’t want that, job him out to Triple H instead Fans: Cenas getting stale, let’s have him be a heel again so we might not boo him so much Writers: Keep him the same as he’s been for nearly over a decade Fans: Daniel Bryan should win the 2014 Rumble he just has to Writers: lol here’s Batista
They were doing that back in the early Nineties, when legendary Ric Flair signed with the WWF and wasn’t immediately put into a long feud with Hulk Hogan.
The Owen Hart thing should have been pushed and Papa Shango was good but all the rest of these sucked and never should've seen the light of day to begin with.
The reason they gave up on Kendrick wasn't because they were more interested in Jackson but because Kendrick didn't want to stop smoking weed all the time. He said he used to sneak off backstage to get high most shows. They didn't want to rely on somebody like that.
You forgot Hade Vansen, who had a couple promos and then never actually showed up. Was supposed to feud with Undertaker like immediately but never even had a match on Smackdown.
Mordecai never got another chance? I remember Kevin Thorne getting a pretty decent push in WWECW. Unless you meant just the character and not the guy portraying him. Gold Standard Benjamin was great, they should've took it farther like game him an entourage or something. I always imagined him as a Terrell Owens (in his prime) or Floyd Mayweather type character - but nah. V1 could've been heavyweight champion (on Smackdown) if done right; he was great.
They should have had Owen blur the lines by playing a character who wanted out of his contract. Have him interfere in matches, attack the boss, hold the show hostage etc. Everyone bar him was granted their release after the screwjob so it could have easily been a believable angle. Also John Morrison should have made this list.
when i was a kid, i was looking forward to someday see Undertaker vs. Mordecai but i don't think it ever happened. Mordecai was the flip side to the Undertaker's dark persona, he was the light, at least to me that's what i was thinking back then. The same slow entrance as the Undertaker, the same work rate/style in the ring, but the complete contrast from the Undertaker's attire. really hope that match happened, and if it did, i just don't remember anymore, getting old really is hard.... :D
Good video. List was pretty accurate. But I'd say Brian Kendrick DID get a second chance though on the Cruiserweight division. Yeah it's a far cry from his intial run but he it was better though. Also If there was a number 11 on that list, that spot would easily go to Ezekiel Jackson. Duse had potential and the the higher ups saw it. Then suddenly stop for no reason.
There's a lot of wrestlers who could have been something bigger if WWE stuck the course.....Pirate Paul Burchill, Elijah Burke, MVP, Test, Kofi Kingston, Stone Cold Alicia Fox, Wade Barrett, even Bray Wyatt today.
I always thought the "The Brian Kendrick" was a parody of Shawn Michaels HBK. Brian Kendrick was trained by Shawn Michaels, he had similar moves and style, he dressed like him and he even had a bodyguard.
For Mordecai; Kevin Fertig, the wrestler who portrayed his character, mentioned in an interview that a bar fight caused his departure from WWE, and why we didn't see a feud between Mordecai and Undertaker.
Just putting this out there... but if WWE did the right thing and push Owen as "The Blackheart" after they screwed Bret.. Owen would have never become the Blue Blazer and would have not died..... just a thought though
4:05 RIP Sean O Haire. i thought he was going to be one of the top guys. he was so unique from the a lot of other people but politics and his own personal demons got the better of him. so sad of what could have been.
"The Reflection of Perfection", Mark Jindrak. And by extension, "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. I consider those two gimmicks to basically be the same thing. Heck, in many ways, Chris Master was basically just picking up where Mark Jindrak left off with the gimmick. I felt they could have done a lot with them.
I was probably one of the few who really was looking forward to seeing Mordeci move forward in the WWE, although his in ring needed some work his gimmick was actually GOLD for me since the whole time I was just hoping each time he came out that we would FINALLY get Undertaker face off and eventual match between the two......sadly we all know how that hope came crashing down.
I remember seeing WWE live a while back and Mordecai was in one of the matches. However, during his intro speech, he mistakenly referred to the audience as "these sinners in St John's" Now St Joihn's is in NFLD but this was in Saint John, NB. he was pretty much laughed and boo'd out of the ring. Goes to show - if you're gonna act "holier than thou" at least get the city right.
Mordecai vs The Undertaker would have been something special, shame that he got into a bar fight back all them years ago.
Right to Censor won...WWE is PG now so they got the last laugh
Cyrus from ECW must also be happy.
I still hear their theme in my head today
I feel like Drew Gulak would approve of this
You win
Underrated comment.
Adam Bomb should not only be on the list, but at the top of it!! Sadly they never gave him the push needed for him to succeed, a feud with a Taker would’ve been ideal..
What about Muhammad Hassan, if they had avoided the terrorist angle, the character had great heel potential.
Yeah! Agreed. But I'm from Sweden, and I don't think the whole idea of Islamic terrorism is as offensive as it was in the US after the whole WTC thing and the US/Arab wars.
Yeah, that was pretty damn good. Good point!
It's unfortunate that man didn't get a second chance. I would like to see him make a surprise Royal Rumble appearance as a face.
Seekarr actually he got canned because London bombings which is not in the US.... It didn't help that everyone backstage hated him like Enzo recently
How was that angle his fault? I never understood that. WWE came up with that idea and like all workers he went with it. It was not his fault that the bombings happened the same time frame. Now had he got on the mic and made a derogatory reference to it on his own, then yeah fire him. And they still could have kept him around and used him. He had the look, the mic work and was a legitimate wrestler (Olympic wresting).
Who else besides me that liked Sean O'Haire's gimmick before it was thrown out the window?
They should've put Bad News Barrett up there too. SO sad he is gone.
The difference with that is he wasn't supposed to get over in that gimmick because he was a heel.
I've got some bad news for ya....Wade Barrett was a bum
Brandon White he didn't got over fans took it too seriously in a mix of comedy and his mic work... Barrett was a legitimate heel... I agree with you... But it wasn't his fault that people got over with that bad news gimmick.... That gimmick portrayed Barrett as a last of that character in a blend of his excellent promo and mic work....
The same thing is happening with rude and his rude day gimmick
"I've got some bad news for you."
-Bad News Barret
In my honest opinion, I always considered Barret a MUCH better on air speaking personality than he ever was a wrestler. I think that Nexus would've never worked without him as leader.

Barrett shoulda had a different nickname. To me the only Bad News I think of is Bad News Brown.
HHH beating Owen at WrestleMania is the only HHH victory at Mania that pisses me off. I don't blame him though.
But essentially, when Owen couldn't beat the B level DX guy after all the build up, THAT killed The Black Hart.
100% AGREE with PAPA SHANGO what a WASTED Opportunity!!! He was soooo good!!!
Totally agree with the black heart gimmick. Personally think it would've save Owen's life.
I'm the Boogeyman,and I'm coming to get you!!! (Smashes clock over own head) Now that's a character that was given up on way too soon.
Ryan Millar 100% AGREE!!!!
Nah he was 40 something years old & lied about being younger
Man, how many Adams are there? You guys grow 'em in a lab?

Justin Kroboth next, were gonna clone Justin's
Owens heart black heart promos give me chills to this day
Great points with Owen's Black Hart angle and Sean O'Hare. Too bad about the pair of them. RIP
Both super talented gone way too soon

Mordecai did have a badass finisher tho.

Mordecai and Ohaire, such a loss of opportunity.

I loved O' Haire's promos...best thing on WWE TV at the time. Mordecai would have been a great gimmick too...dark feeling and interesting character
This Adam Wilbourn guy is pretty good. He’s not overly-loud/obnoxious and his jokes land for the most part. Get this guy to do more videos!
*Said no one ever*
Right to Censor won; the Attitude Era ended & now we have PG
You stole Michael Brown's comment.
We had PG during the 80s and early 90's and it was great. PG is not the reason the wwe sucks today.
His name is.... JOHN CENA!!!
Mordecai got released because of an incident at a bar where he beat up a guy and WWE was getting sued so they fired him as punishment
Joshua Washington But they rehired him later and he became Kevin Thorn.
Yep, the ECW wrestling vampire... which they then gave up on and packaged him as a generic wrestler, then released him
Once Ariel got released, he lost so much presence and soon after, he was released himself. Together they were great though.
His gimmick was terrible even if he had a bar incident.

Damn this Adam dude has improved! He went from being a squirmy nerd with terrible jokes to an actual nerd with great narratives. Way to go!
The Brian Kendrick was actually interesting to me when I was younger. And he was pretty good in that championship scramble match
Brian Kendrick is a better WWE champ then Jinder!
When I was young no one gave a crap after he became a singles competitor.
My two favorite eras of Smackdown were "The Ruthless Aggression era" and "Friday Night Smackdown era".

They should have capitalized with Owen after they screwed the piss out of Bret

Whatculture is like james bond movies but the difference is that there's always an adam replacing an adam lol
I often wonder what goes through WWE creatives brains sometimes (other than “Vince McMahon loves big sweaty men”)
They constantly piss away perfectly good ideas, or ignore the fans

The Owen Hart thing should have been pushed and Papa Shango was good but all the rest of these sucked and never should've seen the light of day to begin with.
As soon as Right To Censor was formed ,I just knew they were going to have a program with Stone Cold......
The reason they gave up on Kendrick wasn't because they were more interested in Jackson but because Kendrick didn't want to stop smoking weed all the time. He said he used to sneak off backstage to get high most shows. They didn't want to rely on somebody like that.
Dashing Cody Rhodes had the slickest intro theme.
Sammy Lane Firstly, Cody Rhodes had a shitty character.
On top of the Blackhart gimmick, if his past had changed, he may still be alive, today.
Before you said it.... about Matt facts I said he dislikes Mustard!!! Hahaha
O'Haire was a fantastic wrestler. The fact he was one half of the final WCW Tag Team Champions (before WWF bought the company) seems to be forgotten
You forgot Hade Vansen, who had a couple promos and then never actually showed up. Was supposed to feud with Undertaker like immediately but never even had a match on Smackdown.
Good video, Sandow and Bad News Barrett are both big shouts for the list though.
Eva Marie got suspended and she thought it was unfair so she never came back disappointing her fans...all 2 of them.
O'Haires "Devils Advocate" character was so great in those vignettes
Mordeicai, papa shango, and Benjamin were all gold
Wrath (aka Bryan Clark) was another.
Matt Hardy v1 had the funniest entrance video
mordercai was kevin thorne, hence second chance
I like when your videos venture back to the old days and aren't always on the present
Mordecai never got another chance? I remember Kevin Thorne getting a pretty decent push in WWECW. Unless you meant just the character and not the guy portraying him.
Gold Standard Benjamin was great, they should've took it farther like game him an entourage or something. I always imagined him as a Terrell Owens (in his prime) or Floyd Mayweather type character - but nah.
V1 could've been heavyweight champion (on Smackdown) if done right; he was great.
CHilla415 Benjamin is back & put on more muscle
Owen Hart, Cody Rhodes and Sean O’Haire are the only ones who could have been true main eventers that people could get behind

I've always felt like they could've used Eva Marie. She has enough heat to make it happen
I know, they could've found a way to build up on that.
exactly and it was funny and entertaining. People put way too much stock into ring work.
There's a lot of wrestlers who could have been something bigger if WWE stuck the course.....Pirate Paul Burchill, Elijah Burke, MVP, Test, Kofi Kingston, Stone Cold Alicia Fox, Wade Barrett, even Bray Wyatt today.
I love that shout out to Memento with Leonard Shelby. Best movie ever
Mordecai was such a great character. He had an extremely short run, but people still create him as CAW in wrestling videogames.
I forgot RTS Godfather was Goodfather😂😂😂😂 I'd also like to add that Owen was NEVER a nugget!!!!!!
All in for #6. Really surprised to see that here. I loved Sean O'Haire as the Devil's Advocate. But, it was just way too short. RIP Sean O'Haire.

As an Attitude era fan agree 100% on #1

Don't know why WWE never said that O'Haire was Brendan Fraiser's brother. Looks almost the same. Just jacked! Lol
I LOVED The Brian Kendrick. I remember marking out when he became World Champion for like 5 minutes
I was there with my dad and brother at that Judgement Day when Mordecai fought Scotty. I completely forgot about that match until right now.
The greatest character in the WWF/WWE will be forever The Undertaker
Stephanie McMahon yup your right
You misspelled GOLDUST.
Theo Dious true both are just as good
No.
Realistically.. if you really think about it...his character is actually kinda stupid. It's the man behind it, and his legacy, that are great.
Stephanie McMahon W R O N G !!!! Try Again!!!
Just call yourself "Not Simon" and save us the trouble.
lmao Simon is the only one that matters tbh
For Mordecai; Kevin Fertig, the wrestler who portrayed his character, mentioned in an interview that a bar fight caused his departure from WWE, and why we didn't see a feud between Mordecai and Undertaker.
Just putting this out there... but if WWE did the right thing and push Owen as "The Blackheart" after they screwed Bret.. Owen would have never become the Blue Blazer and would have not died..... just a thought though
4:05 RIP Sean O Haire. i thought he was going to be one of the top guys. he was so unique from the a lot of other people but politics and his own personal demons got the better of him. so sad of what could have been.
"The Reflection of Perfection", Mark Jindrak. And by extension, "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. I consider those two gimmicks to basically be the same thing. Heck, in many ways, Chris Master was basically just picking up where Mark Jindrak left off with the gimmick. I felt they could have done a lot with them.
Blackheart and Owen in the Nation was fantastic.
Owen Hart was supposed to be The Game
Mordecai - had a lovely chant for him. "Smite the non-believer!"
Don't forget Saba Simba...which Piper ruined...lol...."That's not Saba Simba...that's Tony Atlas!!"
Shelton Benjamin is one of the saddest stories ever told . He's still being overlooked even after a return
I feel like some of these gimmicks could still work again, like Right to Censor switching roles, wanting the WWE to be darker like the Attitude era.
No mention of Dan Spivey (aka Waylon Mercy)? Such a great gimmick....
I was probably one of the few who really was looking forward to seeing Mordeci move forward in the WWE, although his in ring needed some work his gimmick was actually GOLD for me since the whole time I was just hoping each time he came out that we would FINALLY get Undertaker face off and eventual match between the two......sadly we all know how that hope came crashing down.
I remember seeing WWE live a while back and Mordecai was in one of the matches. However, during his intro speech, he mistakenly referred to the audience as "these sinners in St John's" Now St Joihn's is in NFLD but this was in Saint John, NB. he was pretty much laughed and boo'd out of the ring. Goes to show - if you're gonna act "holier than thou" at least get the city right.
I totally f'n agree with all of these. I'd like to add Matt Hardy when he returned to feud with Edge and Lita, and also the Truth Commission
Last time I was this early, WhatCulture had a King.
Right to Censor was one of my favorite factions EVER.
