“What manner of ego would torpedo a match”
Hogan was in the match
The Patron Saint of "That's not gonna work for me brother."
You can't ever convince that Hogan didn't sabotage the match. He so obviously did! All so that he wouldn't look weak.
It’s goddamn hogan of course he did
That and he didn’t want to lose to a guy who hadn’t wrestled in a year.
He, in real life, paid off the ref, Nick Patrick, to not make it a fast count, so the BS win didn't look BS to the fans.
Won’t be surprised. He’s never put anyone over. Shawn Michael’s absolutely carried him in the only Hogan match I watched.
@@parveskoyes9937 Shawn didn't carry him. Shawn humiliated him.
I was at Super ShowDown 2018. Everyone at the MCG was caught off guard by the Bryan/Miz finish. Taker’s entrance for the main event was nearly 3 times longer than this match.
I was at WM25. I was 9 but I remember the crowd going nuts for HBK v Taker and expecting the main event to be same level of excitement but it just wasn’t. I remember looking my brother and asking “is this the last match?” At the end of the show because it just left the crowd wanting more. It was so slow paced and goddamn long that it really didn’t do the whole feud justice
The match should have at least had a stipulation to make it more entertaining and to feel the intensity
@@viktorriquelme3735 It did have a stipulation added during the event, if HHH got DQ'd or counted out he loses the title, a horrible stipulation for this particular feud.
Realistically it shoulda just been whatever variant of no DQ they could think of to allow Legacy, The McMahons and preferably a returning Batista all to interfere. HHH could still win which sets up the HHH/Batista/Shane vs Legacy at next PPV anyway where Orton goes on to win just as it did in our current time line. However the main event of WM25 wouldn't be complete ass.
@@TheMGSlow the idea of triple losing the title if it was DQ'd was dumb as hell, if the match like Adam Says was a no holds barred could be 20 times better
I have a bit of an issue with number 2. That feud didn't end at mania 25, it actually ended at Backlash the following month in an even worse match.
Oh no!
Are you sure? 'Cause they had that 3 stages of hell match at The American Bash 2009 (?), and then turned H against Cody & Ted while Orton battled Cena for the next months until Bragging Rights.
I hope to God you know how to spell wrestlemania
It actually ended at The Bash in a nothing 3 Stages of Hell match
@@TempestLikesWrestling so you admit that it didn't end at Wrestlemania 25, then?
Thank god that was number 1, what is baffling is that it got worse immediately the next night on Nitro. An absolutely embarrassing mess of ego's and idiocy.
The reverse part in the beginning says "I cannot believe you took the time to actually reverse this, read a book." 😐
AJ vs Joe is still depressing to me. That feud was the main reason I watched Smackdown in 2018 and it ended in such a pointless and convoluted way which basically cooled one of the hottest heels in the company at the time in Samoa Joe.
Cooled him down towards mid-card championship scene and unforgettable feuds fast forward until they fired him, rehired him to NXT, and fired him AGAIN.
Yeah, this was a perfect time to give Joe the belt.
The fact that it was to set up another match it was kinda disappointing.
Plus, the fact that it was one of two matches back-to-back SummerSlams where both WWE Championship Matches ended where the Heels trying to antagonize the Face Champion’s Family in some way.
@@kyokugenryudisciple9349 2018 = Joe terrorized Styles' family.
2019 = Orton terrorized Kofi's family.
WHY even bother back then? 🤦🏻♂️
It's the WWE what do you expect Vince is a pos
Yeah. The one thing I didn't like about that fued is that. It didn't end up in Hell in a cell. A fued that involved another man's family should be inside HIAC. Aj got DQ at Summerslam, so him and Joe should kill each other in the cage box that the theme PPV, the following month. But it didn't happen!
It’s absolutely ludicrous to think that Aj first run with the WWE title was better than his historic 371 day second run when he was literally against the best wrestlers on the planet during that time…… only Vince can screw up something so simple
And that tells you that how good Smackdown was in 2016 compared to 2018 by looking at Aj's title runs.
i agree with you pal, the 1st title run was magnific, Aj being a heel champion was great
Damn that Sting/Hogan section hurts so bad
1997 may forever be the one year where I can say I was the most excited as a wrestling fan. Both WCW and the World Wrestling Federation were offering compelling must-see TV week after week. Then came the double whammy of the Montreal Screwjob and the Sting/Hogan Starrcade main event. 25+ years later, we're still no closer to fully understanding how or why it all got so fucked up. At least WWE still had Austin (and later The Rock) to pick up the ball.
Use me as an “I’m sad Sami didn’t win” button
At least it was a good match.
:(
Hey guy trying to get attention this way is indicative of much deeper issues. Reevaluate your decisions and prioritize my dude. This ain't it
@@iangray1980 sounds like someone's mad
@@LNGcreepyztv not at all what
I always love Adams list. He just understands why pro wrestling is amazing sometimes but also why it sucks.😂
10 greatest ref bumps
Anything with Undertaker in it
And then, just to rub salt on the wound with Sting, years later, at WM31, the NWO inexplicably comes out to help him out in one of the most bizarre nostalgia matches ever.
It also didn't help that Undertaker/HBK had one of the Greatest Wrestlemania matches of all time even HHH in an interview said that he knew that he and Orton were royally screwed at that point.
Which made HHH and Orton match even worst. If that match was no DQ or something like there Last Man Standing Match from No Mercy 07, it would have work.
@@adriansmith5279 You are right about that.
For a man who is widely considered to be on the mount Rushmore of professional wrestlers Hogan sure does show up on more worst of lists than best of lists
The most painful thing about the Hogan vs Sting feud ending so poorly is that they had ALREADY done the ending right... with Lex Luger. And then took the title off him by the end of the week, putting it back on Hogan, just because. But that title match on Nitro was perfect.
Hogan is overly cocky, knowing the NWO is behind him, and, if the match turns bad for him, they can run in and cause a DQ, as usual, and they can beat down Luger, and all that actually changes is WCW loses morale. GREAT PLAN for the NWO. But Luger starts beating Hogan up, and he bravely endures Hogan's offense before heating up. The NWO lackeys swarm in, pretty much the whole organization, and they rush Luger... but he takes them all out, one by one. But there's no bell, no DQ. And Luger goes right back after Hogan, puts him in the torture rack, and makes him submit.
Maybe the biggest pop I've seen for a TV match, next to Mankind winning the WWF title at the start of 1999, coincidentally another night where WCW shot themselves in the foot.
And even better, you can make Starrcade 97 work by inverting it a bit, having Luger hold off the onslaught of NWO lackeys trying to stop Sting for beating Hogan, rather than resorting to the "was it a fast 3 count?" BS that killed most of the heat for the angle.
They did the same with Goldberg and wasted his reign
Man WWE really dropped the ball with Joe vs AJ
WWE really dropped the ball on AJ’s title reign in general. Literally lined with talent, one of which was a dream match fans wanted to see in WWE, and they just flopped it.
5:22 "Because God is dead, and Vince hung God's skull on his office wall."
I will never get over the heartbreak of Starrcade 97...the moment my love affair with WCW ended
Yeah, Goldberg being a man possessed in 1998 was cool, but God my WCW watching heart was gouged out watching that Starrcade.
I don’t know if the Fiend vs Orton feud from 2020/21 belongs on this list or not… probably depends on how much burned demon clowns you want in your wrestling…
It is pro wrestling. Somewhere between zero and one burnt demon clown.
Honestly I think the Wyatt/Orton feud from 2016-2017 would fit the descriptor better since that was genuinely excellent up until Mania
@@AcornPlays Spoopy worms projected on the ring canvas ooo so scary - VKM 2017.
Nope, it was a terrible feud. This list is for good feuds only
Which one was burned demon clown in that feud?
0:10 Amazing 🤣🤣 Shoutout to Adam knowing Missy
Amazing how many of these (and more) matches could have been great by just… letting the dudes fight without throwing in a bunch of wacky shenanigans. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”.
The top match or most famous from the topic that most of us can remember is Triple H vs Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 25. What an AWFUL match to an AWESOME feud.
Remember being super excited to see Daniel Bryan wrestle live for the first time at Super Showdown. The match started, I looked away at something for a few seconds, and the bell rang.
As soon as I saw the title I immediately thought of HHH v Orton at WM25
Serial McMahonicide is my favorite metal song
Vince always understood what was compelling.
He NEVER got what was tastefully compelling. He never got what compelling things actually worked.
He just understood a compelling premise, and then kept throwing compelling at it until we vomited.
I love how the situation with Hulk Hogan and Sting could have been drastically different if the ref remembered his job.
Also, secretly all 10 spots on the list talk about "WWE".
Not only was Ciampa vs Gargano the best feud in NXT. It was the best feud/storyline since Austin vs McMahon or Austin vs Rock.
I think an interesting list would be Great Matches with Bad Endings.
Sami vs Reigns would definitely be on that list
@@LiquidJ619 This was a genuinely breathtaking finish and certainly not a BAD finish by any stretch of imagination. Divisive sure but bad hell no.
Ohh, I would watch that. The one springs to mind for me would be Dean Ambrose vs AJ Styles in that TLC match. The whole match was awesome, then when AJ was about to win freaking James Ellsworth distracted him, then when Dean was about to win Ellsworth screwed him over because he really wanted AJ to win the whole time. It made no sense whatsoever and no one talks about how great that match was anymore
The only match that spring to my mind is the explode barbed wire deathmatch at revolution 2021,which technically doesn't count since the match already finish before the "expected" ring explode, but still...
Have we not watched enough Roman Reigns at this point?
0:13 “I cannot believe you took the time to actually reverse this, read a book” 😭
It's always disappointing when a feud is so perfectly constructed but the ending is so deflating and boring...
Imagine how good the Lesnar v Ambrose match could have been if they went full death match! Would've been EPIC
0:13 - "I cannot believe you took the time to actually reverse this, read a book."
Adam blampied is sunday mornings cup of coffee ☕️ 🤓
Adam, you've said you are low on Booking ideas. I've waited a long time to make this recommendation and this list was the perfect occasion. Book the Original WCW-nWo invasion. I'd love to see what you would do to try and fix the flaws the nWo developed over time as well as who you would push on WCW's side to make more starts. Of course, part of the entire thing, I imagine would be fixing the end of the number one match on this list.
The other one, as a WCW fan 4-Life, I'd Love to see you book the Undertaker/Diamond Dallas Page feud to give DDP some dignity. Those were my two favorites as a kid and seeing them both get screwed over many times over has always stung.
-Finger poke of doom should've been on the list. Wolfpac was super hot at the time. The swerve didn't make sense and it klled WCW.
-Undertaker vs Kane(they only had one good match in 13 years).
-Brock Lesnar vs Hardcore Holly. The match that exposed Holly as not being main event caliber. The story was very well told. The slow 3 month build. But when it came down to the match. It was the dead peanuts on a turd sundae.
Is Sunday morning, and we PFK people are watching another Top 10 video led by the Undefeated Survival Series winner, Adam Blampied. 🤣
Love the Missy Elliot reference lol
Wyatt/Orton feud from 2016-2017. Such a good build up with Orton joining the Wyatt family, and then wining the rumble to turn on Wyatt. Such a bad match. Normal slow Orton match with bugs being broadcasted on the mat.
Wouldn't the Ambrose vs Rollins 2018 be there third one since they feuded for the WWE Title in 2016 which (i may remind you) WAS GOOD
And it 2015 which was also good. Their HIC match was also great. The ending sucked but that doesn’t ruin an entire match.
And what about the Wyatt v Orton feud on 2017? It was amazing and then the Mania match crashed and burned
I popped for the Missy Elliott reference 😂
Nothing will ever top how good the sting vs nwo fued was with that bad of a blow off
Missy Elliott Intro = Best Intro
Gargano vs Ciampa was a great feud and great storytelling. Dont know why its in this list
You should put Brock vs Bobby there too
Good chance it isn't over, though... And it was fun, even if the finish wasn't.
My beard is longer than it was the first time I watched this.
Honorable mentions:
-Cena vs Miz 2 (WM 33)
-Triple H vs Batista 2 (WM 35)
-Rock vs Cena 2 (WM 29)
-AJ Styles vs Shinsuke (WM 34)
-Brock vs Taker (WM 30)
-Cena Bs JBL (WM 21)
I wouldn't call the build up to Shinsuke vs AJ and rock vs cena great more like average for AJ vs Shinsuke and bad Cena vs rock (WM29)
7:37 'Hyper Mobile Cows' wouldn't that be a pair of bulls?
Didn't know Pete was the referee for Orton vs Triple H at Mania 25
Too many things collided in the Sting/Hogan match. Sting was apparently dealing with ring rust due to his excessive time away to make his gimmick work and was out of shape due to personal problems, Hogan was trying to save face as usual, and WCW was "inspired" by the Montreal Screwjob (which had only happened the previous month) to make that Bret Hart's major first contribution to the product.
I get some of it and don't get others but either way they were trying way too hard to overbook that match when most of the story was already written going in.
Since I’m watching Reliving the War, #1 is kinda wrong lol. The big match happened at Starrcade 97, but the feud didn’t end until SuperBrawl VIII 2 months later
This could just be a top 10 Bray Wyatt feuds
Over 25 years ago and the finish to Sting/Hogan still boils my piss, Hogan’s selfishness killed one of the greatest storylines and build ups in wrestling history to massage his own ego in a business that is all kayfabe
I feel like TNA should have been included on this list because they have had there fair share of great feud, but terrible match moments like Bobby Roode vs James Storm
2 things;
#1 - I knew this video was coming after seeing the previous video 2 weeks ago
#2 - Am I the only person who heard Adam say "fartsFUNknown" at the end of the intro?
add sami vs roman to this bad boy
Why?
How Adam would book Aj Styles 2017-2018 title run ???
Honorable mention for the Luger v. Yokozuna feud?
I watched all 4 of styles joe wwe feud fall 2018. Tbh to me, Good matches, just me though. But they did not pulled the trigger. You have the summerslam end, then you should jave had hell in a cell match, then the no holds barred where joe should had won the title.
Mania 25(that was just two things 1.card placement(right after hbk taker)
2.that stipulation
A
"And a BAD cinematic match!" They're all bad. All. Bollocks the entire lot of them. Yes including your favorite.
Daniel Bryan vs the authority initial feud was great…….till they screwed it up at hell in a cell with Shawn betraying Bryan.
Not only did we not get the Bryan vs Shawn feud but Wwe as we all know tried to drop it and make Bryan a heel with the Wyatt’s until the fans forced the issue.
They replaced him with The Big Show, insert John Cena and the Big Gold Belt for a unification match, pretended Bryan didn't do big in the feud, and planned to have Batista as the one to end Orton's reign at Mania 30???
What kind of 🚬 were management smoking during those months to ignore until the risk became too high and many would've quit WWE and not even subscribe to the Network when it got launched in February (?) of 2014.
@@JaimeD. it’s truly mind boggling. The RR was the last straw. I mean…..my god!!!! It was sooooooo easy!!!!!
Have the authority screw Bryan constantly. Make it clear he won’t get another shot at the title. Bryan wins the rumble guaranteeing he gets a shot. The authority does all in its power to weaken and/or injure Bryan. He overcomes the odds, wins at mania, and the fans give their money to see it.
How hard is that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
The thing about that is you know Shawn Michaels wasn't gonna come out of retirement at that point
@@MazeDaGr8 True. But, he could've eaten/sell a Running Knee Strike for his troubles and not put Bryan in a feud against The Wyatt Family out of nowhere (even though I enjoyed his matches against all 3 in all honesty).
@@MazeDaGr8 if he was gonna come out of retirement, which as we know he eventually did, it should’ve been to face Bryan. That is a dream match and the fans HATED Shawn for what he did.
Would’ve been a perfect match for SS or RR
Brock Lesnar vs Randy Orton is also another one of those feuds that should've ended better. I hope they run another program with both of them again in the future.
Fact is they don't have good relation!
Sting v Hogan makes me sad 😢
It’s truly ironic that hogan is one of the greatest ever….and also one of the worst ever at the same time.
His backstage politics have imo ruined his legacy
I haven’t watched this yet, but I’m fairly certain they all involve Randy Orton.
The irony of Hogan vs Sting at Starrcade '97 being such a bad match that disappointed people to the point of not watching wrestling/WCW was that it was also my introduction to pro wrestling. I can recognise that it's not a good match, but I'll never fully be able to hate something that kickstarted my roughly 25 year long obsession
Right after talking about how he's spent the entire video ragging on WWE but WCW is still the gold standard in botching a feud, Adam calls WCW "WWE" at 11:04.
Orton vs HHH went on for at least 2 more PPVs in 09. They had that Six Man Tag and the 3 Stages of Hell Match. Just saying.
Suggested Honorable Mentions:
- Orton vs Edge WM36 & Backlash 2020
- Orton vs Wyatt WM37
Sorry Randy!
Edge vs Orton was great
That geordie accent 🤣
What about Batista vs Triple H? John Cena vs The Rock?
It sucked that bret had that insurance issue where he couldn't bump whatsoever.
Point and laugh! ADAM SAID WWE INSTEAD OF WCW GASP!!!!!😁
Brock vs Drew
Jericho vs KO.
Taker vs Kane 2
What the heck did you want Bret vs. Vince to be? Bret was forced out of the industry over 10 years earlier by injury, it wasn't going to be anything.
Randy and Hunter headline mania 25 and was built all around their history from evolution and Orton kissing Steph. But did not refer to the fact Triple H injured Randy the year before.
That was mania 25, not 29
@@viktorriquelme3735 yeah made a mistake there 😂
Lesnar vs Lashley
Arguably punk was Vince’s last singles feud not Bret.
Cant agree with #8. Even if it was more lackluster, the way tye fued ended was still great to me. They teased thrm as a heel tag team and having the reverse turn was cool
Rock Cena 2. Twice in a lifetime
For those of you demanding that WWE does DIY story line but on the main roster, I submit to you number 8 on this list and start laughing.
AKA: 10 Great Feuds Ruined By Vince McMahon's Booking.
Love the fact the ref in the Triple H & Randy Orton match was suddenly a Geordie
Weird that a pg wrestling product kinda really sucks, huh? It sucks to a degree that it makes AJ Styles boring as a champion because he can’t go all out
Miz vs. Bryan should've been a Mania match
Gargano vs. Ciampa needs to be at Mania....
Ambrose vs. Lesnar sucked so badly
Just one last time....
Hellooooo
Yes I DID take the time reverse it and no I will NOT read a book, Adam!
I cannot express how thankful I am Reigns Vs. Zayn wouldn't have been on this list either way.
No Adam. I will not read a book
Now they can add Roman vs Sami.
List idea: top 10 road to wrestlemania/ career mode storylines in wwe games
Add Roman-Semi feud in this list too
4:32 Is that a tramp stamp on Brock Lesnar??
WCW*
Does a wrestler have great ideas? Yes? Well Brock had other plans. And Brock only does what Brock wants.
How did Cena miss this list?
Ryback and Bray come to mind
Having this come out instantly after Elimination Chamber which has a semi unsatisfying end to a feud is very weird timing despite me knowing these are recorded well in advance.
Edit: Allow me to clarify. I don’t mean unsatisfying as in “This March sucks because Sami didn’t win.” I mean unsatisfying from a “story wise, Sami should win.” Personally, I love wrestling when storylines work and close wonderful and while I don’t hate the way it ended by any means, I feel like Sami/Roman should’ve been the Mania match and Sami win there. For me, it’s just a personal feeling of “this Bloodline stuff would end beautifully like this” which is definitely a me thing rather then a “I hate what is happening” thing. That’s why I said semi unsatisfying due to my personal feelings. I don’t doubt that Cody vs Roman is a better draw, it’s just that from a story perspective I feel like Sami vs Roman would’ve been an amazing send off to the Bloodline stuff after, what, the past 8 months?
I don't think it was unsatisfying, as long as Cody and Roman is really good and the Sami and Kevin reuniting story can still work, it should be fine
is it really unsatisfying tho? yeah everyone wanted sami to win during the match i wanted sami to win we all knew he wouldn’t but the story was so worth it to get to this point. 9 months of great storytelling to that moment for sami means so much more even if he didn’t win
It wasn't unsatisfying bro. We get it we all wanted Sami to win. Great match, Only unsatisfying part about the Post-match would KO finally deciding to get off his ass! 5mins too late
@@DontBotherMate Oh absolutely. I didn’t mean to say “this sucks because Sami didn’t win.” I’m just saying that if things had gone differently then it could’ve been even greater and that’s not even just me talking about last night.
@@DontBotherMate Really Samis whole storyline has always been with Jey not Roman
Him and Jey started off as rivals with Jey absolutely hating him then they became friends and now here we are with Sami accidentally hitting Jey last night
Like yeah Sami was trying to impress Roman and the entire bloodline but his story was always with Jey and Jey hugging him at Wargames got the loudest pop of the night
