@@lewiswhite4005 yeah, especially when you consider that what you just said isn't applicable because Orton was never cena's main rival(they only fought at mania once and mania 24 is considered the last event of the ruthless aggression era), and Seth and Roman aren't even rivals right now, nor are they each other's main rivals.
@@EmpireGamingWynter I know you meant eras. But there was a particular event in that time span that changed everything so violently that I think it's equal
If memory serves, regarding Nikolai, this was about the time Lithuania started pushing for independence from the Soviet Union, and Nikolai began to be billed as from Lithuania, despite him being Croatian and from Yugoslavia. This allowed his face turn to go through, as he was trying to advocate for Lithuanian independence.
The reason why savage attacked Rhodes was because Ted dibiase revealed to have bought sapphire all the stuff she had and that’s what distracted Rhodes.
5:00 - #6 gets even dumber if you _really_ think about it: Hacksaw was representing America. Dino Bravo was representing _Quebec,_ the French part of Canada, in Toronto, the cultural capital of _English_ Canada. Especially considering this was years before the Quebec sovereignty movement peaked and began to slowly lose momentum after the failed referendum of '95, the WWF should consider themselves lucky that the SkyDome crowd didn't take a big dump on *both* wrestlers in that match.
I take issue with that number one spot! You left out what happebe with Sapphire and Ted Dibiasi before the bout! The Dusty vs Macho match wasn't your typical back-and-forth classic, but it wasn't meant to be. It was so much more than that. It was a captivating tale, a narrative that unfolded before our eyes. Picture this: a broken man, shattered by the loss of the woman who was supposed to stand by his side in the face of adversity. Suddenly, he finds himself betrayed and utterly alone as she abandons him for greener pastures. The poor guy is left bruised and battered, both physically and emotionally. I mean, come on, who among us hasn't experienced that kind of heartache? Don't forget that wrestling is about storytelling.
You guys should do a "Degrees of Spearation" series. A series where you connect two seemingly unrelated storylines to each other. I.E. connecting Hogan slamming Andre to Katie Vick. Idk, something like that i feel like there's something there...great vid btw
Hogan Slamming Andre led to Hogan being a big enough star in his later years to get another main event run in 2002, where he feuded with Triple H, Triple H in 2002 feuded with Kane and had the Katie Vick segment. Done.
The reason why Tito Santana vs Warlord Happened was because Originally Santana was Supposed to face off against his former Strike Force partner Rick "The Model" Martel BUT Martel got Injured before a few weeks before Summerslam & so The Warlord was A late Sub-in & as a Result There was No Blow off to The Strike Force Feud! At Survivor Series Haku was a Sub-in for Akeem as George Gray had left the WWF before the PPV (on a side note I Thought The Alliance vs. the Mercenaries was Bad not just at that year's Survivor Series but the whole calendar Year of 1990).
Close but not quite. Akeem’s Survivor Series replacement was Boris Zhukov. Haku was a substitute for another wrestler who had recently quit, Ravishing Rick Rude
I will forever be biased when it comes to Hacksaw. He’s my hometown hero. Met him at a restaurant as a kid when I first got into wrestling. Dudes hands were f-ing massive
I was ☠️☠️ AF when he said the warlords best moves were a tie between the power slam he won the match with or the roll to the outside.. I genuinely wasn't expecting the second to be the roll to the outside and I laughed heartily and I thank you all at Cultaholic for it ❤
10:59 It wasn't Duthty's first run in WWE. Not by a long chalk. He was challenging Superstar Graham for the World title in 1977 continuing into the following year and the Texas Bullrope match and he was back for a while in 1983. Also you neglected to mention the whole Sapphire goes missing and then turns heel and joins the Million Dollar Man angle which was a lot of the reason for the short match as the angle took up time and Rhodes was supposed to be in no fit mental state to wrestle after Sapphire turned.
I was there. Crowd was cheering for Dino, as he was their national wrestling hero just 4 years earlier. Should have booked him to win that match, then have Duggan chase the baddies out with the 2x4. Bravo lost almost every match after that. Something happened between him and Vince. Dino ought to be in the Hall of Fame.
yea the hogan vs natural dis. was pretty stupid only reason tugboat was there was to get a countout with earthquake. What was worse was when hogan vs zues team at a survivor series. IN the match zeus and both powers of pain were dq to save hogan. Amazing how much power hogan had in his matches! And lets not forget how he made himself world champion at wm 9.
WrestleMania VI should have been Hart Foundation vs The Rockers. They had numerous house show matches in late 89 that were barnburners. With Demolition winning the tag titles made the #1 contender spot a point of interest. Since the Harts would eventually become tag champions; beating The Rockers at WM6 would have solidified their position even more. Since the Hart Foundation won and The Rockers lost at WM6 would have made no difference if they faced each other. The Hart Foundation vs The Rockers match would have stolen the show.
I would argue the Rhodes/Savage match was out of context here as at the time it was part of a bigger story where the Million Dollar Man “bought” Sapphire and announced he had done so on the mic seconds before the match started. The Savage/Rhodes match was a sideshow building up to the Rhodes/DiBiase feud
I love how you put modern sensibilities into stuff that happened over 30 years ago when you probably weren't alive to see it. If you saw this as an 8 year old you'd think different I think.
He calls Hacksaw Jim Duggen finisher( the 3 point running clothesline) but will call Shawn Micheals sweet chin crap( which is just a pressive kick) amazing
Why Beefcake got the DQ in his match with Genius? He picked up the scissors to cut Genius's hair while the match was still going on. Then got Perfectplexed. As for why the match happened at all? Because Hogan wanted to push his friend into more featured matches, and this lead to Beefcake and Perfect at Wrestlemania so Beefcake could end the undefeated streak. And then Beefcake got in the parasailing accident and had to leave wrestling for two years.
I know these Christmas-period videos are probably set up beforehand to auto-post during the holiday, but thank you all the same for even thinking of putting something new up for people to watch.
I agree with the #1 pick, but you should mention the storyline reason why the match played out like it did. Frankly, I thought Dusty's tag match at WM6 made less sense than this.
Warlord Vs Santana was a fine match. The Hart Foundation Vs The Bolsheviks wasn’t a true match. The Survivor Series match was actually good. This list wasn’t well researched.
I say this every time you do one of these. So all the bad matches were only on PPV? Seems a very lazy list and nothings actually been watched to complete it.
"A match that should have been on RAW had it existed" is exactly the reason why most of those matches were on PPV! And how can you "experts" not understand that? With weekly shows consisting of mostly squashes or lower-midcard bouts, PPVs were the place where midcard rivalries were born, developed, ended and even tested or teased. Not every match could be Savage v Steamboat or Hogan v Andre. And don't forget how before guaranteed contracts, PPV appearences were an important source of income and payment, so appearing on a PPV in any capacity was a net positive. P.S. Dusty was very limited at that stage of his career, no wonder he got jobbed out to Macho King before moving on the the feud with DiBiase about Sapphire.
totally agree on a lot of these choices -Savage and rhodes i waited 5 months for and got that!!! although quite enjoyed the Boss man/Akeem and duggan/orient express squash matches.
I was a kid and thought that Jim Duggan was a boring performer with a terrible move set. I never understood why a clothesline can be a finishing move….
@2:51 By 1990's, the USSR said bye-bye. The cold war was dunsky. And, the Berlin Wall came down as well. So, that would be your WWF ushering in a Perestroika between the US and the Russian Federation.
0:48 Hart Foundation vs Bolsheviks was a squash for TWO good reasons. (1) It established the Harts as red hot and on track for a World tag team title run which came at Summerslam (2) The loss - and their squabbling afterwards - started a losing streak for the Bolsheviks which would continue with a quick loss to new champions Demolition (about their last bout as babyfaces) after which they squabbled and a loss to the Rockers after which they fell out entirely and had a fight with Nikolai emerging as the babyface. This had even bigger repercussions as Nikolai's face turn was the launching pad for old enemy Sgt Slaughter's heel turn and their double switched feud helped launch Slaughter as the WWF's new top heel, cultminating in an interim World title reign and Wrestlemania and SummerSlam main events. All of this stemmed from the Harts squashing the Bolsheviks at WM6
Also I still have my ticket stubs for SummerSlam 92 and they have a pic on them of the Harts Pearl Harbouring the Bolsheviks at the start of the match, taken from about 10 rows back from the front.
Boris also contributed to Sgt Slaughter's rise in the mercenaries, not only continuing the ex Bolsheviks feud but also reuniting former Cobra Corps tag partners Slaughter and Private Jim Nelson (as Zukhov was known in a previous life, so to speak) in the Survivor Series Mercenaries team.
I love the whole era; but if you're booking purely from a match quality and finished perspective it could have been SOOO much better..... Hogan / Warrior - Same obv!!! Savage / Dusty - Singles match (Coulda been great and you could have still had all the Liz shenanigans as the after-match) Tito / Martel - Much needed feud blow off. Harts / Rockers - #1 contenders match Dibiase / Jake - Same but book a decisive finish. Perfect / Brutus - Perfect maintains his 'perfect record' (so he's still unbeated by the time he wins the IC title a month later.) Piper / Rude - Never had a blow off to their fued. Andre & Haku / Demolition - Same (No probs) Bossman / Akeem - Same (Quick and harmless.... Bossman was capable of better, but Akeem wasn't at that point) Earthquake / Herc - Same (Squash for Tenta's PPV debut = Fine) Less matches and more time for those above that needed more.
10:00 What did Beefer do? Well he was being pushed towards SummerSlam when he would get to win the IC title and chop Curt Hennig's hair back down to the length it was in the AWA (this eventual title loss to Beefcake was the reason Mister Perfect started growing his hair out in the first place.) Beefer vs Genius set up Beefer versus Perfect at WM6 which Beefer won, establishing himself as a third man - besides Hogan and Warrior - capable of defeating Mr Perfect. This in turn set up Perfect interfering in Beefcake's IC title quarter final to force a DDQ leaving the way clear for Perfect and Heenan to outweasel Tito Santana to take the belt home in the final and an irate Beefer to issue a challenge to the new champion. Sadly on July 4th a female parasailor with nice sharp pointy knees condemned Curt Hennig to have long blond curly Goldilocks for all the rest of his days on God's green Earth - even if he did get a second and longer IC reign off the back of (1) the above (2) replacement successor Kerry Von Footmissing being a useless druggie (3) next in line Bret Hart still being stuck in a Tag title reign at the time.
These countdowns are usually good but all they did this time was cherrypick ppv matches. It was 1990. There was something from Minotaur of Issac Yankem or whoever the gimmicks were in 1990 lol!
WWE was garbage in the 90s until WCW forced them to lift their game. To be fair, WCW was pretty bad too until Eric Bischoff came along and revolutionized the industry.
Probably ought to note in the title that this is PPV matches only as there will have been many worse than most of this list during the year........... Also; matches that are short, squashes or essentially just angles aren't inherently bad...... The likes of Harts/Bolshevics, Tito/Warlord & Dusty/Savage were exactly what they were intended to be.
As funny as this is and as true as it is about Hacksaw..when you're a 9 year old wrestling fan you're okay with clothesline combos..lol He couldn't wrestle to save a life though.
You just shown how you do not know what you're talking about your whole beef with Duggan was punches kicks clotheslines he even Body Slam too & you claim he have four of the worst matches of the year you had Hogan and the warrior WrestleMania 6 was nothing but Punch Kick body slam and clothesline that should of been worst match of 1990
Try & understand something everybody acts offended & shocked by what Rowdy Roddy Piper did at WrestleMania 6 by painting half his body & face black (but Piper was doing a lot of drugs & cocaine & just like Rick James use to say is one hell of a drug). Also, I know Hacksaw Jim Duggan wasn't the greatest wrestler in the world but I would rather watch him wrestle & compete (even as an old fart that he is) compared to John Cena or any of those other people in WWE but I don't follow or watch pro-wrestling now at days because it is so awful & it sucks compared to the good old days.
The change in WWE between 1990 and 2000 was insane. It feels like multiple decades of a gap. It doesn't feel like the same time as between 2013 to now
You kidding me? Literally just use Seth Rollins as a reference and you'll see how wrong that statement is
The change between orton and cena to seth and reigns is no where near as impressive or important as uw and hogan to rock and austin
@@lewiswhite4005 yeah, especially when you consider that what you just said isn't applicable because Orton was never cena's main rival(they only fought at mania once and mania 24 is considered the last event of the ruthless aggression era), and Seth and Roman aren't even rivals right now, nor are they each other's main rivals.

I don't know why they didn't mention that about the match... It mainly served as a build for Rhodes and dibiase feud
@@scottfitzgerald5309That and they have documented video of the pics.
There was no WWE in 1990...
Only because the real WWF, the World Wildlife Fund, had yet to lay the smackdown on them.
Now that tito Santana vs the warlord match was a solid match
How WWE managed to screw up freaking Randy Savage vs. Dusty Rhodes is something I will never understand?
they didn't screw it up it was a good match but they didn't tell the Million dollar man match which help explain why it was like that
Yes sapphire turned against Rhodes which made him lose focus on the match explains the easy loss
Dusty/Saphire & Savage/Sherri was a multi-segment angle throughout the whole PPV.... Dude missed the entire point.
Vince hated Rhodes
5:00 - #6 gets even dumber if you _really_ think about it: Hacksaw was representing America. Dino Bravo was representing _Quebec,_ the French part of Canada, in Toronto, the cultural capital of _English_ Canada.

Good point. I kinda feel like a lot of the rest of Canada would’ve been behind hacksaw in this match lol
My first ever ppv was summerslam 90 so won't have anyone say anything bad against anything on the card. It's what got me hooked on wrestling
I take issue with that number one spot! You left out what happebe with Sapphire and Ted Dibiasi before the bout!

The Warlord wasn't a great wrestler, but after he got off the supplements, he did well on Mythbusters with Adam Savage.

Why the Duggan hate? lol. Oh and we loved him up in Canada too so
I will forever be biased when it comes to Hacksaw. He’s my hometown hero. Met him at a restaurant as a kid when I first got into wrestling. Dudes hands were f-ing massive
Hacksaw was the man. And I’m not even American. This guy just doesn’t get him lol
Nobody found Piper's body paint offensive. Get over it. Body paint is not offensive.

I think my favourite 1990 matches were:
Hart Foundation Vs Demolition SummerSlam
Hogan Vs Warrior WM VI
Dream Team Vs Million $ Team Survivor Series
10:59 It wasn't Duthty's first run in WWE. Not by a long chalk. He was challenging Superstar Graham for the World title in 1977 continuing into the following year and the Texas Bullrope match and he was back for a while in 1983.

If Cultaholic doesn't give us "What did the Beefer Do?" T-Shirt I will be disappointed. ❤
still one of my fave eras even though the wrestling wasn't always great.

IN the match zeus and both powers of pain were dq to save hogan. Amazing how much power hogan had in his matches! And lets not forget how he made himself world champion at wm 9.
2:52 The Warlord was half of the Powers of Pain, along with Barbarian. He already had plenty of screen time before working as a singles wrestler.

no and no
Well I started watching back then. Does that count?

You should have renamed this 'The 10 worst PPV matches of 1990'
Guess that the subconscience reason that i stopped paying for WM and watching it live after 6 was all of those subpar matches.
I do enjoy how much any America-centric storyline/character upsets Cultaholic 😂
Wrestlemania VI is hard to watch sometimes considering most of the wrestling card has passed away. 😢
Warlord Vs Santana was a fine match. The Hart Foundation Vs The Bolsheviks wasn’t a true match. The Survivor Series match was actually good. This list wasn’t well researched.
Over 30 years after the fact, I still can't picture Big Boss Man as a face
Hacksaw was great
I say this every time you do one of these. So all the bad matches were only on PPV? Seems a very lazy list and nothings actually been watched to complete it.
Has the wwf even had many good matches before 97.
I saw Dino Bravo vs the British Buildog live in Vancouver bc July of 1991 . At a house show
"A match that should have been on RAW had it existed" is exactly the reason why most of those matches were on PPV! And how can you "experts" not understand that? With weekly shows consisting of mostly squashes or lower-midcard bouts, PPVs were the place where midcard rivalries were born, developed, ended and even tested or teased. Not every match could be Savage v Steamboat or Hogan v Andre.
And don't forget how before guaranteed contracts, PPV appearences were an important source of income and payment, so appearing on a PPV in any capacity was a net positive.
P.S. Dusty was very limited at that stage of his career, no wonder he got jobbed out to Macho King before moving on the the feud with DiBiase about Sapphire.
Poor dusty rhodes
I thought Hogan VS earthquake at summerslam would be on here. That was pretty bad
totally agree on a lot of these choices -Savage and rhodes i waited 5 months for and got that!!! although quite enjoyed the Boss man/Akeem and duggan/orient express squash matches.
i loved Akkem! kinda wish he's tured 'face too!
Just looking for things to complain about here, this is stretching things. 👎
I was a kid and thought that Jim Duggan was a boring performer with a terrible move set. I never understood why a clothesline can be a finishing move….
And why was the worst match of the 90s omitted? You even mentioned Piper v Brown
because despite the black face it was a good match
@2:51 By 1990's, the USSR said bye-bye. The cold war was dunsky. And, the Berlin Wall came down as well. So, that would be your WWF ushering in a Perestroika between the US and the Russian Federation.

All of this stemmed from the Harts squashing the Bolsheviks at WM6
Also I still have my ticket stubs for SummerSlam 92 and they have a pic on them of the Harts Pearl Harbouring the Bolsheviks at the start of the match, taken from about 10 rows back from the front.
Boris also contributed to Sgt Slaughter's rise in the mercenaries, not only continuing the ex Bolsheviks feud but also reuniting former Cobra Corps tag partners Slaughter and Private Jim Nelson (as Zukhov was known in a previous life, so to speak) in the Survivor Series Mercenaries team.
Can't agree with the Genius match, he was awesome working the crowd and I wish we'd seen more of him in the ring
Beefcake says SCISSOR ME
Yeesh, rough year for Duggan
Dusty and Savage had house show matches with each other for the spring and summer of 1990 before SummerSlam
So... matches are only good if there are a bunch of different moves in it?
Wrestlemania 6 was awesome from start to finish!
I love the whole era; but if you're booking purely from a match quality and finished perspective it could have been SOOO much better.....
Hogan / Warrior - Same obv!!!
Savage / Dusty - Singles match (Coulda been great and you could have still had all the Liz shenanigans as the after-match)
Tito / Martel - Much needed feud blow off.
Harts / Rockers - #1 contenders match
Dibiase / Jake - Same but book a decisive finish.
Perfect / Brutus - Perfect maintains his 'perfect record' (so he's still unbeated by the time he wins the IC title a month later.)
Piper / Rude - Never had a blow off to their fued.
Andre & Haku / Demolition - Same (No probs)
Bossman / Akeem - Same (Quick and harmless.... Bossman was capable of better, but Akeem wasn't at that point)
Earthquake / Herc - Same (Squash for Tenta's PPV debut = Fine)
Less matches and more time for those above that needed more.
Soooo Jim Dougan should have magically burned the American flag and started singing “I am a real Canadian?”🙄
Hart Foundation vs. The Bolsheveiks was a movie.
Dusty v Savage would have needed Rhodes to blade as his move set was terrible. WWF had a no blading rule.
Why was Jim Duggan a babyface? He cheated to win matches more than most heels 😂
1989 next can’t wait
Need to make it clear it’s only PPV matches. I’m sure there must have been matches on non ppv shows that year which were stinkers
10:00 What did Beefer do? Well he was being pushed towards SummerSlam when he would get to win the IC title and chop Curt Hennig's hair back down to the length it was in the AWA (this eventual title loss to Beefcake was the reason Mister Perfect started growing his hair out in the first place.)

2:05 It was a ripoff of JCP's Superpowers (Dusty & Nikita) tag team as well as fuel to the fire for Sgt Slaughter's heel push to the top.
The Orients kept up their own little feud with Volkoff moving from this match to the Mercenaries team opposite Volkoff's Alliance at Survivor Series.

You were pretty angry at the end of the video. :)
Did Jim Duggan ever had a 'great' match in his career?
Can't wait for 1969s worst wrestling matches

Lol I'm at a loss for words lol
Im guessing roddy piper and bad news brown will be number 1
is the narrator trying to sound like Wreck-Gar?
Try & understand something everybody acts offended & shocked by what Rowdy Roddy Piper did at WrestleMania 6 by painting half his body & face black (but Piper was doing a lot of drugs & cocaine & just like Rick James use to say is one hell of a drug). Also, I know Hacksaw Jim Duggan wasn't the greatest wrestler in the world but I would rather watch him wrestle & compete (even as an old fart that he is) compared to John Cena or any of those other people in WWE but I don't follow or watch pro-wrestling now at days because it is so awful & it sucks compared to the good old days.
