I was at the show Owen died. Him bouncing from the ropes, lifting his head up and coughing up blood will be traumatically etched into my brain forever. Last wrestling show I ever went to, I'm only now getting back into pro wrestling.
It's a scene I probably would wish on my own worst enemy. He fell 80 feet. Imagine being Jerry lawyer. He's was the first one to see him after he fell. He said the view of his face is an image he could never get over
Brian Pillman Jr. has come out openly bashing his mom for that segment and stated she was apart of the idea, he even got away from her and lived with his grandmother, if you watch AEW you would have seen MJF call her Methady instead of Melody, she was a party to that angle and was paid allot for doing it, Pillman Jr. never holds back about his mom.
In her defence even if it her idea her husband literally just died. She was in no frame of mind to make that decision, Vince took advantage of her when she was at her most vulnerable
Owen hart was easily the biggest mistake they ever made. That entry wasnt necessary neither was that stupid character. He could of walked down that isle and had his match his family would have their father, husband and brother... But no WWE needed a moment a moment that if successful wouldnt of had any impact but due to how it went down it impacted a lot of people in horrible ways.
@@tapan97 Well, the only thing that would have accomplished if they stopped the show was that they would look more "respectful.". They should have their feet held to the fire with regards to WHY they made Owen use a cheap $68 sail boat clip with a quick release trigger mechanism knowing full well it was NOT designed for that purpose. Honestly, this decision to use that clip was worse than continuing the show to keep the blood money.

It was only a mistake in hindsight. If his family died tragically in a way that wasn't murder suicide, it would still be touching. Releasing a full tribute show when things were THAT sketchy was a mistake, but their hearts were in the right place and he was loved by his coworkers.

@@rvawildcardwolf2843 To be fair to WWE how we're they to know it was a murder suicide at the time? The police didn't release the details until weeks after
Ending of WrestleMania XX was the greatest ending of any show I've watched in 24 years of watching. It's a real shame it has to be forgotten, but that's life.
I've always thought, if Montreal hadn't happened, Owen would be alive. Bret probably would have stepped in and said Hell No, This stunt isn't happening.
Hindsight is 20/20 and that may be the case but Owen wasn't a minor. Everyone regrets that it happened but Bret needn't think he could have stopped it.

@@GeorgeFloydTheHero they knew something it kinda reminds me off that episode of In Living Color where they made fun of Milli Vanilli its like they kinda knew the whole thing was bullshit
I'm still surprised that footage of owen hart's death has never really leaked. I mean there's readily available footage of people being executed, shot by cops, even the JFK assassination, but footage of a wrestler falling, not even dying (he didn't die til he reached the hospital), is held tightly under wraps.
Yeah it's pretty cringy I couldn't imagine making a joke either when it comes to Jerry Lawler and Jared. The only difference is I think came out that the girl who said Jerry Lawler molested or lied while Jared had adult child videos on his laptop. So many people believed in this guy just for him to come out and be one of the worst guys.
"humorless parody of the nation of domination" are you dead??? That shit still cracks me up to this very day. It's the funniest thing WWF ever produced... you humorless weasel...
00:07:57 Would have been fine if Booker T had won the title and held it for several months. Btw DX's parody of the Nation wasn't humorless... it was in bad taste but Road Dogg was hysterical.
I know that the N word is just controversy itself, but man the segment works quite good and it's a good laugh. Just a typical old man who want to be "cool" and tries to say something what he thinks it's fine and that it's gonna me him look like a "guy from the hood". The reaction from Cena and Booker is precious. :D
Nobody can blame WWE for having the Chris Benoit tribute show. Nobody knew at the time what actually happened, and nobody would have expected it until t was revealed. The Owen Hart tragedy was completely preventable. No reason to have him enter the ring the way he did, even if he was using the Blue Blazer gimmick.
a younger me thought it was all part of the show untill i seen he wasnt moving i hated vince after that how he took one of the best if not the best and made him a joke gimmick smdh
@@jtraxxgameshack6409 I blame Vince for a lot of the deaths of a lot of wrestlers. Namely Hart, Guerrero, Benoit... Don't get me wrong, they were responsible for their actions inside the ring but Vince should have put in some restrictions and focused on safety but no. He was more focused on making money instead of thinking of others safety.
@@KitKat_95 You can't blame Vince for Benoit and "safety". No one knew how bad off Benoit was or Eddie for that matter. Owen is a bit of a different case, he shouldn't have been forced to do it, but he also should've stood up for himself a bit more.
@@Tonygumbo13 So let’s all say it is racist and should exist due to the mention of a term called “nappy hair” ? I mean, is the type of hair many black people have not allowed to be mentioned?
Here's a morbid thought on that last one. Since it was Owen Hart who botched a piledriver on Steve Austin BEFORE Owen's death at Over The Edge, the morbid thought is, its kind a shocking in a way, that nobody ever mentioned that maybe Steve Austin had something to do with Owen's fall/accident. I only say this because lest not forget it was Owen who cut Austin's in ring career short by botching up that piledriver back in the day. All I'm saying is, its a bit of a morbid thought that nobody tried to tie Austin's name into Owen's tragic fall, because that would have the makings of a Sam Clancy novel of someone seeking revenge for cutting a career short like Owen did Austin. Not saying Austin had anything to do with this, just saying its a morbid thought that nobody had ever thought about this or tried to tie Austin's name into that tragic night, if that makes any hope you understand kind of sense thing. Just saying. PS, And even though I wasn't a Owen Hart fan, he sure didn't deserve to go out like that. He was an amazing in ring talent. Just saying. RIP Owen Hart. We miss you.
I've considered this as well. But since Austin is a wrestling internet darling, he gets a pass. Don't get me wrong, Austin is my all time favorite, but I can see why he'd do it.
@@phantom8926 So true. All I meant was, I was kind a shocked that this wasn't brought up before & if it was, I never heard about it. When I watched some of the videos of Owen's tragic demise, it just hit me a few days ago that why or perhaps DID anyone else besides me ever thought that Austin might of had a hand in Owen's death? Myself, I highly doubt Austin ever did, but ya gotta admit, that since Owen did in fact cut Austin's in ring career short, this would really of made a lot of sense for Austin wanting to get back at Owen even though Austin never did. Or maybe Austin wanted to just injure Owen but it went too far as Owen died that night. But this is just speculation of course, & like I said, I highly doubt Austin had anything to do with this tragic event. Or perhaps maybe Vince McMahon had something to do with it, because of the Montreal screw job where Bret Hart decked Vince in the back after the screw job was complete & just before Bret went to WCW. Who's to say? Myself, IMHO Owen had a tragic accident due to the poor rigging of that contraption he was rigged in. Just saying.
Some of these are absolutely legitimate. The ignoring of Beniot and Stephenie's 9/11 comments are 2 examples. Bradshaw's were what the average American was feeling because we just faced the worst attack in American history since Pearl Harbor. Jan 6th is an absolute joke in comparison. The black face stuff was funny. The my n word comment by Vince was funny. Anytime an old white guy says something like that it is funny. It's not like he walked up to Booker T and called him one. Your SJW bias is fully exposed on too many of your videos.
The craziest part about this was they knew a good portion of the fan base were still miners back then and was the ones more then likely watching on a weekly basis 😂
I have been saying that for a few decades now , Booker going over would have made a lot of sense.. Especially when Triple H was saying all that racist crap which I didn't mind if Booker went over.. Triple H buried Booker, and I'm pretty sure Booker made a lot of money, but even Booker admits that moment would have changed his life in a bigger way if Hunter didn't pull the rug from under him.. After that brutal burial at Wrestlemania, where it took Triple H a few minutes to pin Booker, that pissed me off so bad I literally stopped watching pro wresting for years.. Booker wasn't the same after that was made into a joke..
@@kenrickeason With how shows are booked, I'm curious how much of HHH being set to win was his own doing. I wasn't watching during that whole thing, so I can't saw much, but I wonder how long they knew (or HHH knew) that he was set to win. Its one thing to have a racist heel angle and its another to have that heel also win. I'm not here to defend HHH, I'm genuinely curious how much of that storyline was established before the ending was figured out.
Not only did Booker lose... I think he's the ONLY GUY that I can recall getting pinned after the "delayed cover". 99% of time, if someone hits their finisher, but takes a while to go for the cover, there is a kickout.
When it comes to WWE we all gotta accept two things,Vince helped shape most of our childhoods as fans of the product and that even he knows he's going to Hell lol. The amount of shady, disgusting or immoral things he has done is a never ending list 💀

@@pooldead7712 I've never heard a fan of wrestling utter a bad word about JR so I have no clue where you're getting your info. Be it WWE or AEW whenever Boomer Sooner comes on the fans erupt for the man, usually in a standing ovation
@@ZootedBeaver A cheap rip off can never be better, especially not if the man involved lacks the talent and the long journey of the original. Bryans story was super artificial and forced, Benoits was natural, Bryans artificial obstacle was authority figures and a lackey Orton, Benoits main obstacle was the fight against two overwhelmingly strong opponents in the ring named Triple H and Shawn Michaels, Bryans match was ok, Benoits match was amazing. Not to mention Wrestlemania 20 was the peak for both Benoits and Guerreros careers, these two reaching it together, Wrestlemania 30 was just about one man who can't measure up to either in the ring.
Marc Copani, who played Hassan, wasn't even Arab American. He was Italian American. He could have been repackaged into another character. What happened was a knee jerk reaction to an actual terror attack in London.
@@TheFishingNomadGet rid of the beard and the Arab gimmick. The guy has ITALIAN heritage. Repackage him as something non-controversial like a Mafia hitman.
The Wrestlemania XIX Storyline with Triple H vs Booker T would have worked PERFECTLY if Booker T beat Triple H. If the heel just lost at the biggest moment of the year and Booker T became World Champion, it would probably be brushed aside as trying to hard or even vindicated as heat. Instead it was too much for NO realistic payoff.
That was probably the original plan, but then Goldberg signed with WWE shortly before WrestleMania and WWE decided it would be best for Goldberg to beat Triple H for the title instead of Booker T; whether that was because they didn't Goldberg to take the belt off of another Babyface or they didn't want two WCW guys fighting for the Big Gold Belt...or maybe a bit of both. Hindsight is 2020 and looking at what went down after WrestleMania XIX, it's hard to imagine what the title match stories would've been had Booker T won. It would've been a great ending to the story that was being told, but there have to be stories that follow and it was better for Goldberg to end the long title reign of a heel than the short title reign of a face.
@@SupraViperhead Goldberg didn't win the belt until September. You're telling me there wasn't enough time for a Booker reign and heel win over the course of March through SEPTEMBER?
Probably the worst part is that Triple H takes one of the slowest crawls in history to go for the pin, seemingly giving Booker plenty of time to kick out. If they had gone for a screwjob finish or a fast count, Booker still might have come out looking strong.
All these years later and I still have no idea how WWE booked a racist storyline in which the racist actually wins. Not only does the racist actually win for some reason nobody in the world could explain but he does so after 30 seconds from putting Booker down with a pedigree that is a spot usually called for a kick out to make the finisher look really strong and to make both men look strong. But nope 30 seconds of nothing and then one two three.
While I agree Booker T should've won, he wasn't being fucking racist. Do you not remember how he was the blue blood Hunter Hearst Helmsey character? Get the fuck over your obsession with racism, mark.
A coincidence I found a bit unfortunate was how Eddie was in a storyline with Undertaker in Smackdown VS Raw 2006 in which he stole the urn and it eventually ended in a casket match. And in the following year's game, Undertaker and Chris Benoit were in a storyline together (Which fortunately wasn't so morbid)
@@Joe90h And SvR '06 was released just two days after Eddie's passing. And i still remember Undertaker's line to Benoit on SvR '07: "If you insist in making this mistake, your grieving family will have no one to blame but you when the inevitable occurs".
Naw no coincidence at All.they have to explain in some form of way about what is really going on or about to happen that's how the Masses keep us blind
That doesn’t make it a stretch… you regret things in hindsight not as they’re happening. What happened in 2007 is what MAKES them want to forget it…. It’s pretty simple….
Still the most grim thing I ever heard was the JR podcast episode about OTE 99 and went into detail what happened that night and how Owen nearly hit a ref when he fell, Korderas IIRC. Also Jarrett on his podcast talking about going to the hospital in his wrestling gear made me tear up driving home from work.
I remember growing up playing wwe no mercy on N64. My brother and I would always do fatal 4 way hell in cell matches. We would always have Benoit as cpu . He was like the terminator you couldn’t keep him down. Such an amazing talent. Eddie as well. That wrestle mania ending is so conflicting. Much deserved achievement for both but the atrocities committed by Benoit tragic death of Eddie cast a really dark shadow over such an amazing moment in wrestling history
And yet again... People with no sense of humor or understanding of how TV works. A joke is a joke. A comment on a "tv show" also isn't meant to be held at face value... Nobody understands that a TV show is also just a TV show...
I don’t see a problem wanting to see a country, that hosted a terrorist group who just attacked your country, turned into a parking lot. I would have said to crater it, personally.
HHH is one of my favorite wrestlers but even I can admit even if he wasn't gonna drop the title he should have lost by dq or won by cheating not totally burying Booker
The whole ppv isn't actually as good, but yes the two historic title matches are one of the most feel good-- and now surreal-- moments in professional wrestling.
Based on the Brian Pillman Jr interview that I just watched, he blames his mother for the interview, not WWE. He said that Vince and the WWE took care of them for a while and raised money for them. He claims that his mother did the interview with a bit of relief that her husband was dead so that she could go be with the guy who became her next husband.
I don't see why they'd regret WMXX's ending because of what happened years later. The rest of these are things that were in poor taste when they happened. It's not like continuing the show after Owen's death. It was a great moment at its time - and Benoit wasn't a murderer yet - so it shouldn't be on a list like this.
Taking something back is generally something you can control. By the logic of the wm20 entry, all main events are subject to regret based upon what someone might do in the future.
No one in wwe looks back on Bradshaw’s comments around 9/11 as something they wish they could take back. That’s still brought up in interviews and podcasts from those in the business as being a standout that night. Stephanie’s on the other hand….yeah that was cringe.
I don't think Stephanie was trying to compare the two, so much as she was saying she was afraid she'd never see her dad again. Still cringe but that's how I see it.
Ill never forget the night Owen died. I wasnt watching but I remember thinking how the PPV was going so I tried to look up some results and ill I found was quotes from Debra and Jeff Jarrett praying for Owen and I was wondering what the hell was going on. The next day at school I asked a friend who was watching it at a bar what happened and he told me
Yeah, i found out that night by CNN or some other news station and i was in complete shock. I will never forget the next night on Raw. Just unbelievable
Wiliiam Regals video on the benoit tribute show. Where he said I will not comment on the person at this time but his wrestling ability. There were apparently mumours going around during the show
Totally disagree with number 8. That was the perfect move at the time. They did not know what was going to happen in the future. Nothing to be ashamed of.
@@koopatroops838 Indeed, though I will never believe he did it of his own volition. His brain was so fucked up that I couldn't even find something to compare it to. He should have retired many years before. Also Eddies passing was a massive blow to his mental health. He should have been "persuaded" to retire. And by persuaded I mean forced.
So how is that a racial slur if used as endearment?? If it’s is or is not a racial slur because of your skin color…. You might want to figure out who the racist really is here….
"Being mad at a terrorist attack when your company has been essentially based in New York City for decades" = "A moment WWE want to forget" It's weird Cultaholic can record all this while gargling the collective sperm of the entire mainstream media. An impressive physical feat, really.
That's not what they said at all. There was nothing wrong with being mad about the terrorist attacks, OBVIOUSLY. However, they were pointing out that a few specific comments were terribly in poor taste - especially Stephanie McMahon's. Describing her father's indictment as being at all similar to the attacks themselves was just about the most idiotic thing she could have said and completely spat in the face of all that lost their lives in the attacks. And yeah, Bradshaw wanting to kill every last person in an ENTIRE country because of what a handful of people did? Not much better honestly.
After watching a doco on Jared and finding out what he did i couldn't go past a subway or eat subway for like 3 years without being reminded of that creep. I can eat subway now but i gotta block Jared out and pretend he does not exist.
@@Dr.Spatula while it is certainly true that Benoit's brain was damaged, that is absolutely no excuse for what he did. Countless footballers and boxers suffer the same kinds of repeated head traumas but they don't all end up binding, gagging, then murdering their wives, then murdering their kids in their sleep. There is no excuse for what Chris did. None. Eddie's name doesn't deserve to be dragged through the mud by being wrongly associated with this horrific act, either. Countless people have lost very dear friends but they don't murder their family because of it. These absurd excuses are nothing more than a way for some to justify marking out over a character they were fans of.
@NamiK Studios lol. You are both confused and wrong. Finding reasons things happen is not the same as condoning them. Don't be a child. Football players and boxers are actually funny comparisons because they have a notoriously high percentage of domestic violence
Do you really think Bradshaw and Stephanie regret anything they said that night? Or that any of the higher ups in WWe regret it? Their political contributions say they do not.
Do you not remember 9/11 and the attitude of the entire country. What he said was simply what others were saying. Hell GW comment that "they will hear you" was an obvious threat. So no I see nothing wrong saying that the country responsible for the attacks would be turned into a parking lot. It's called an emotional response to seeing your fellow citizens murdered in an attack from a foreign enemy. You people are too soft for the real world if you feel his comments were racist or over the top.
@@paulfavazza8119 The attitude of the entire country echoing that sentiment isn't the slam-dunk defence that you think it is. Yes, there is something DEEPLY wrong with saying that an entire country full of people, the majority of whom are innocent, should be killed in retaliation for the actions of a minority of it's citizens. People aren't soft for finding people salivating at the chance to kill in retaliation a bit distasteful, the people expressing that sentiment are blood-thirsty and inhuman. It's the exact same sick attitudes that those terrorists held. Emotional responses are often over the top and apologised for in the aftermath...again, that's not the slam-dunk defence you think it is.
I don’t know much about Vince or his psychology but I’ve known a couple of very wealthy guys, and JR is the type of guy they all absolutely hate, and I mean venomously hate. You know that Vince loved to see JR humiliated.
🤦♂️ The only thing 99% of the population knows about wrestling, is that "itS aLL FaKE bULLshlt! thEm's AcTOrz, JiMMy!", but the instant that awful man on wrestling does something awful it's 🤯🤯🤯
It’s better when you know that Trish was in on the angle and wasn’t just thrown out there and forced to do anything like what was widely reported. She said her character had become such a “hatable bi*ch” that they needed to go the extra mile to gain sympathy for her to become baby face
10. It would've been better had what Bradshaw said actually happened. Instead, they got rewarded. 9. She agreed to do that interview. Didn't have to. 8. Benoit isn't the only one to do the things he did or anything similar, and yet he's the only one that gets the cancellation treatment. 7. Again, she agreed to do that and besides, don't a lot of people pay to watch others do that that they themselves put out there for people to see and pay for? not any different, but still stupid and unnecessary. 6. Booker and Sharmell obviously knew about it beforehand and okay'ed it. When a Caucasian uses that word, it's actually mocking the mispronunciation of the technical term originally used for people of that culture. It's even used in the names of legal organizations and businesses. 5. Again, he's not the only one guilty of that stuff and yet, he gets picked out. 4. Everybody who gets involved in that "anti-bullying" stuff are complete hypocrites. It's just people being people. Get over it. 3. That was another example of "let's make the white guy look like a big, bad devil because that's what all white people are!" line of hypocritical racism. 2. That's why it's important to wait on doing specials like that. I never understood how they could get an entire production completed in such a short amount of time. do it later. I'm still mad at Benoit though for ruining a storyline that was actually intriguing. 1. Blue Blazer was such a dumb gimmick. Really unnecessary.

One of my good friends had to go home early. I was so sad and low at that point i almost destroyed everything around me. Eddie was a rock for Benoit. Forgiveness and understanding is all we need.

Countless people have lost very dear friends but they don't murder their family because of it.

I'm an outsider (from India) but the West or at least the Anglosphere west seems to be going crazy to people like me if that segment of Vince saying Niger is considered so bad that it's removed from that PPV or if that old DX rip of the nation is now considered unpardonably racist. It feels absurd to even go into why it's so absurd. Wokery has ruined wrestling as well... Nice!

I'm still surprised that footage of owen hart's death has never really leaked. I mean there's readily available footage of people being executed, shot by cops, even the JFK assassination, but footage of a wrestler falling, not even dying (he didn't die til he reached the hospital), is held tightly under wraps.
Yeah it's pretty cringy I couldn't imagine making a joke either when it comes to Jerry Lawler and Jared.
The only difference is I think came out that the girl who said Jerry Lawler molested or lied while Jared had adult child videos on his laptop.
So many people believed in this guy just for him to come out and be one of the worst guys.
"humorless parody of the nation of domination" are you dead??? That shit still cracks me up to this very day. It's the funniest thing WWF ever produced... you humorless weasel...
I made this comment two years ago and I still stand by it... In fact, I was about to like it when I realized it was my own comment haha
"DX's humourless parody of the Nation of Domination"
You smoking crack that shit was funny 😂
00:07:57 Would have been fine if Booker T had won the title and held it for several months. Btw DX's parody of the Nation wasn't humorless... it was in bad taste but Road Dogg was hysterical.
I know that the N word is just controversy itself, but man the segment works quite good and it's a good laugh. Just a typical old man who want to be "cool" and tries to say something what he thinks it's fine and that it's gonna me him look like a "guy from the hood". The reaction from Cena and Booker is precious. :D
Vince should still be in prison for Owen death. How he spoke to Martha afterwards was shocking.
Jerry McDevitt is even worse.
@@filmbuff2777 Worked for Vince what else to you expect. Like Trump he hires the most crooked lawyer he can find.
I wish they could take Jinder Mahal & The Great Khali being world champion back.

1:15 I remember that. But at the time most Americans would have agreed 100%.
Nobody can blame WWE for having the Chris Benoit tribute show. Nobody knew at the time what actually happened, and nobody would have expected it until t was revealed. The Owen Hart tragedy was completely preventable. No reason to have him enter the ring the way he did, even if he was using the Blue Blazer gimmick.
I’ve seen the footage of Owen harts death and it was absolutely horrifying
a younger me thought it was all part of the show untill i seen he wasnt moving i hated vince after that how he took one of the best if not the best and made him a joke gimmick smdh
@@jtraxxgameshack6409 I blame Vince for a lot of the deaths of a lot of wrestlers. Namely Hart, Guerrero, Benoit... Don't get me wrong, they were responsible for their actions inside the ring but Vince should have put in some restrictions and focused on safety but no. He was more focused on making money instead of thinking of others safety.
@@KitKat_95 You can't blame Vince for Benoit and "safety". No one knew how bad off Benoit was or Eddie for that matter. Owen is a bit of a different case, he shouldn't have been forced to do it, but he also should've stood up for himself a bit more.
No you haven't. It doesn't exist outside of WWE's vault.
The Wrestlemania 20 ending was perfect, he did what he did after that
There’s nothing wrong with HHH’s promo. On the contrary, it’s heel work at its best. PURE GOLD!
Not racist either - meant to be about people like Booker who have been in prison and committed crimes - not about skin colour.
@@JoeCool90 except he mentions nappy hair and other stuff that is clearly meant to be racial, He was being a heel
@@Tonygumbo13 So let’s all say it is racist and should exist due to the mention of a term called “nappy hair” ? I mean, is the type of hair many black people have not allowed to be mentioned?
It would have been good heel work, if there was a payoff, there wasn’t.

Vince ended it in A not ER so he didn’t say the actual word, I’m sure that Booker T & his wife said yes that’s fine Jesus
Here's a morbid thought on that last one. Since it was Owen Hart who botched a piledriver on Steve Austin BEFORE Owen's death at Over The Edge, the morbid thought is, its kind a shocking in a way, that nobody ever mentioned that maybe Steve Austin had something to do with Owen's fall/accident. I only say this because lest not forget it was Owen who cut Austin's in ring career short by botching up that piledriver back in the day. All I'm saying is, its a bit of a morbid thought that nobody tried to tie Austin's name into Owen's tragic fall, because that would have the makings of a Sam Clancy novel of someone seeking revenge for cutting a career short like Owen did Austin. Not saying Austin had anything to do with this, just saying its a morbid thought that nobody had ever thought about this or tried to tie Austin's name into that tragic night, if that makes any hope you understand kind of sense thing. Just saying. PS, And even though I wasn't a Owen Hart fan, he sure didn't deserve to go out like that. He was an amazing in ring talent. Just saying. RIP Owen Hart. We miss you.
I've considered this as well. But since Austin is a wrestling internet darling, he gets a pass. Don't get me wrong, Austin is my all time favorite, but I can see why he'd do it.
@@phantom8926 So true. All I meant was, I was kind a shocked that this wasn't brought up before & if it was, I never heard about it. When I watched some of the videos of Owen's tragic demise, it just hit me a few days ago that why or perhaps DID anyone else besides me ever thought that Austin might of had a hand in Owen's death? Myself, I highly doubt Austin ever did, but ya gotta admit, that since Owen did in fact cut Austin's in ring career short, this would really of made a lot of sense for Austin wanting to get back at Owen even though Austin never did. Or maybe Austin wanted to just injure Owen but it went too far as Owen died that night. But this is just speculation of course, & like I said, I highly doubt Austin had anything to do with this tragic event. Or perhaps maybe Vince McMahon had something to do with it, because of the Montreal screw job where Bret Hart decked Vince in the back after the screw job was complete & just before Bret went to WCW. Who's to say? Myself, IMHO Owen had a tragic accident due to the poor rigging of that contraption he was rigged in. Just saying.
Surprised no one has hurt the Subway guy after what he did
Jbl said nothing wrong, change my mind
Bark like a dog was awesome
Agreed
This was because "she was getting too big in the back"
And yes I saw this on TV also
I still think Ted Turner and Eric Bishoff should take a small part of the blame for Owen
Some of these are absolutely legitimate. The ignoring of Beniot and Stephenie's 9/11 comments are 2 examples. Bradshaw's were what the average American was feeling because we just faced the worst attack in American history since Pearl Harbor. Jan 6th is an absolute joke in comparison. The black face stuff was funny. The my n word comment by Vince was funny. Anytime an old white guy says something like that it is funny. It's not like he walked up to Booker T and called him one. Your SJW bias is fully exposed on too many of your videos.
The craziest part about this was they knew a good portion of the fan base were still miners back then and was the ones more then likely watching on a weekly basis 😂
I don’t see a problem with Bradshaw

I would've been okay with Triple H's comments, if Booker T were to win the title
I have been saying that for a few decades now , Booker going over would have made a lot of sense.. Especially when Triple H was saying all that racist crap which I didn't mind if Booker went over.. Triple H buried Booker, and I'm pretty sure Booker made a lot of money, but even Booker admits that moment would have changed his life in a bigger way if Hunter didn't pull the rug from under him.. After that brutal burial at Wrestlemania, where it took Triple H a few minutes to pin Booker, that pissed me off so bad I literally stopped watching pro wresting for years.. Booker wasn't the same after that was made into a joke..
@@kenrickeason With how shows are booked, I'm curious how much of HHH being set to win was his own doing. I wasn't watching during that whole thing, so I can't saw much, but I wonder how long they knew (or HHH knew) that he was set to win. Its one thing to have a racist heel angle and its another to have that heel also win. I'm not here to defend HHH, I'm genuinely curious how much of that storyline was established before the ending was figured out.
WCW wrestlers were mostly buried by WWE an treated unfair
Not only did Booker lose... I think he's the ONLY GUY that I can recall getting pinned after the "delayed cover". 99% of time, if someone hits their finisher, but takes a while to go for the cover, there is a kickout.
@@kenrickeason LOL

The Wrestlemania XX main event & ending is *THE* definitive moment in wrestling history for me personally
I couldn’t agree more. WWE will never erase what XX did for their fan base
I didn’t get why that was on the list. It’s not like you could’ve seen 3 years in the future and more what was going to happen.
WrestleMania 30 and Daniel Bryans story was and is better
I took a break during that year and the year before. Glad I did because of all the fallout.
@@ZootedBeaver A cheap rip off can never be better, especially not if the man involved lacks the talent and the long journey of the original. Bryans story was super artificial and forced, Benoits was natural, Bryans artificial obstacle was authority figures and a lackey Orton, Benoits main obstacle was the fight against two overwhelmingly strong opponents in the ring named Triple H and Shawn Michaels, Bryans match was ok, Benoits match was amazing. Not to mention Wrestlemania 20 was the peak for both Benoits and Guerreros careers, these two reaching it together, Wrestlemania 30 was just about one man who can't measure up to either in the ring.
still didn't think that WWE should've fired Hassan after that. it wasn't the performers fault. they could've re-packaged him
Agree
Agree. It was a knee-jerk reaction.
Marc Copani, who played Hassan, wasn't even Arab American. He was Italian American. He could have been repackaged into another character. What happened was a knee jerk reaction to an actual terror attack in London.
How do you repackage someone like that? You can't.
@@TheFishingNomadGet rid of the beard and the Arab gimmick.
The guy has ITALIAN heritage.
Repackage him as something non-controversial like a Mafia hitman.
The Wrestlemania XIX Storyline with Triple H vs Booker T would have worked PERFECTLY if Booker T beat Triple H. If the heel just lost at the biggest moment of the year and Booker T became World Champion, it would probably be brushed aside as trying to hard or even vindicated as heat. Instead it was too much for NO realistic payoff.
That was probably the original plan, but then Goldberg signed with WWE shortly before WrestleMania and WWE decided it would be best for Goldberg to beat Triple H for the title instead of Booker T; whether that was because they didn't Goldberg to take the belt off of another Babyface or they didn't want two WCW guys fighting for the Big Gold Belt...or maybe a bit of both. Hindsight is 2020 and looking at what went down after WrestleMania XIX, it's hard to imagine what the title match stories would've been had Booker T won.
It would've been a great ending to the story that was being told, but there have to be stories that follow and it was better for Goldberg to end the long title reign of a heel than the short title reign of a face.
Man, Goldberg’s been ruining storylines longer than we thought
@@SupraViperhead Goldberg didn't win the belt until September. You're telling me there wasn't enough time for a Booker reign and heel win over the course of March through SEPTEMBER?
Probably the worst part is that Triple H takes one of the slowest crawls in history to go for the pin, seemingly giving Booker plenty of time to kick out. If they had gone for a screwjob finish or a fast count, Booker still might have come out looking strong.
Yeah, it was Triple H's ego not letting him lose at that time so Booker T got buried to feed Triple H's huge ego.
All these years later and I still have no idea how WWE booked a racist storyline in which the racist actually wins.
Not only does the racist actually win for some reason nobody in the world could explain but he does so after 30 seconds from putting Booker down with a pedigree that is a spot usually called for a kick out to make the finisher look really strong and to make both men look strong.
But nope 30 seconds of nothing and then one two three.
While I agree Booker T should've won, he wasn't being fucking racist. Do you not remember how he was the blue blood Hunter Hearst Helmsey character? Get the fuck over your obsession with racism, mark.
It's crazy that everytime something bad happened on or before a ppv Undertaker was on the cover of the event.
A coincidence I found a bit unfortunate was how Eddie was in a storyline with Undertaker in Smackdown VS Raw 2006 in which he stole the urn and it eventually ended in a casket match. And in the following year's game, Undertaker and Chris Benoit were in a storyline together (Which fortunately wasn't so morbid)
@@Joe90h And SvR '06 was released just two days after Eddie's passing. And i still remember Undertaker's line to Benoit on SvR '07: "If you insist in making this mistake, your grieving family will have no one to blame but you when the inevitable occurs".
Naw no coincidence at All.they have to explain in some form of way about what is really going on or about to happen that's how the Masses keep us blind

The Undertaker was headlining the "Over The Edge 1999" PPV.. He was on the poster and advertisements.. Hey, this is getting very creepy..
Part of me wonders where his hatred for JR came from, but in the end it's likely something that'd only make sense to Vince.
He probably sneezed twice in a one minute span in his sleep and Vince heard it.
Probably because JR loves good, old fashioned southern wrestling. And if there are two things Vince hates, it's wrestling and southerners.
Sometimes you just don't like somebody. Understandable. Life is weird 😌
I just chalk it up to typical bully behavior. Most bullies harass people for no reason whatsoever.
His voice and his look, and also probably his disability. Why he ever hired him, god knows. Why Jim Ross continually returned, god knows.
The Wrestlemania XX ending is a MAJOR stretch as no one could have predicted that happening in 2007.
That doesn’t make it a stretch… you regret things in hindsight not as they’re happening. What happened in 2007 is what MAKES them want to forget it…. It’s pretty simple….
Thats the point
Whenever anyone talks about trishs mistreatment they always forget about the "win a hummer from trish" contest.
This top ten has barley scratched the surface.
WrestleMania XX, one of the finest moments and most controversial moments in WWE History.
Still the most grim thing I ever heard was the JR podcast episode about OTE 99 and went into detail what happened that night and how Owen nearly hit a ref when he fell, Korderas IIRC. Also Jarrett on his podcast talking about going to the hospital in his wrestling gear made me tear up driving home from work.
You skipped the part where several wrestlers just watched their very close friend die in the ring that Vince was now making them continue the show in
I remember growing up playing wwe no mercy on N64. My brother and I would always do fatal 4 way hell in cell matches. We would always have Benoit as cpu . He was like the terminator you couldn’t keep him down. Such an amazing talent. Eddie as well. That wrestle mania ending is so conflicting.

For the JR entry, it goes over into WCW of course, as Ed Ferrara portrayed the tasteless ripoff Oklahoma.

Based on the Brian Pillman Jr interview that I just watched, he blames his mother for the interview, not WWE. He said that Vince and the WWE took care of them for a while and raised money for them. He claims that his mother did the interview with a bit of relief that her husband was dead so that she could go be with the guy who became her next husband.
Which interview was that?
@@plusultraalieniv1834 the interview after Brian Pillman Sr. death on Monday Night Raw
I don't see why they'd regret WMXX's ending because of what happened years later. The rest of these are things that were in poor taste when they happened. It's not like continuing the show after Owen's death. It was a great moment at its time - and Benoit wasn't a murderer yet - so it shouldn't be on a list like this.
Taking something back is generally something you can control. By the logic of the wm20 entry, all main events are subject to regret based upon what someone might do in the future.

It's weird Cultaholic can record all this while gargling the collective sperm of the entire mainstream media. An impressive physical feat, really.
That's not what they said at all. There was nothing wrong with being mad about the terrorist attacks, OBVIOUSLY. However, they were pointing out that a few specific comments were terribly in poor taste - especially Stephanie McMahon's. Describing her father's indictment as being at all similar to the attacks themselves was just about the most idiotic thing she could have said and completely spat in the face of all that lost their lives in the attacks. And yeah, Bradshaw wanting to kill every last person in an ENTIRE country because of what a handful of people did? Not much better honestly.

People aren't soft for finding people salivating at the chance to kill in retaliation a bit distasteful, the people expressing that sentiment are blood-thirsty and inhuman.

It’s better when you know that Trish was in on the angle and wasn’t just thrown out there and forced to do anything like what was widely reported. She said her character had become such a “hatable bi*ch” that they needed to go the extra mile to gain sympathy for her to become baby face
10. It would've been better had what Bradshaw said actually happened. Instead, they got rewarded.
9. She agreed to do that interview. Didn't have to.
8. Benoit isn't the only one to do the things he did or anything similar, and yet he's the only one that gets the cancellation treatment.
7. Again, she agreed to do that and besides, don't a lot of people pay to watch others do that that they themselves put out there for people to see and pay for? not any different, but still stupid and unnecessary.
6. Booker and Sharmell obviously knew about it beforehand and okay'ed it. When a Caucasian uses that word, it's actually mocking the mispronunciation of the technical term originally used for people of that culture. It's even used in the names of legal organizations and businesses.
5. Again, he's not the only one guilty of that stuff and yet, he gets picked out.
4. Everybody who gets involved in that "anti-bullying" stuff are complete hypocrites. It's just people being people. Get over it.
3. That was another example of "let's make the white guy look like a big, bad devil because that's what all white people are!" line of hypocritical racism.
2. That's why it's important to wait on doing specials like that. I never understood how they could get an entire production completed in such a short amount of time. do it later. I'm still mad at Benoit though for ruining a storyline that was actually intriguing.
1. Blue Blazer was such a dumb gimmick. Really unnecessary.

Countless people have lost very dear friends but they don't murder their family because of it. These absurd excuses are nothing more than a way for some to justify marking out over a character they were fans of.
Humorless parody of the nation of domination? How can you lie like that?!
I'm an outsider (from India) but the West or at least the Anglosphere west seems to be going crazy to people like me if that segment of Vince saying Niger is considered so bad that it's removed from that PPV or if that old DX rip of the nation is now considered unpardonably racist.
It feels absurd to even go into why it's so absurd. Wokery has ruined wrestling as well... Nice!
Don't lie, you laughed at DX impersonating the nation when it happened.
I did I'm black as will it was funny as hell how are people this soft it was obviously a joke.
The Nation were supposedly laughing their asses off.
@@TheGaara802 Because everyone takes themselves too seriously and nobody can take a fucking joke anymore.
I think D'Lo Brown said it best. If they'd mocked them without blackface, it'd likely have aged better. But it was funny
Parking lot would be too nice
