The comparison between JR’s reactions to Shamrock’s 98 triumph and Gunn’s 99 victory is pretty damning in hindsight.
“SHAMROCK! SHAMROCK! SHAMROCK- KING OF THE RING!”
“We have a new king of the ring, & it’s Billy Gunn.”
"We have a new King of the Ring & .........it's Billy Gunn🤷♂️"
The Rock and god took care of that one lol
I don’t think anyone has ever been excited about Billy Gunn as a singles act.
@@MrBeardsley yeah that push was doomed from the start
When 2 years later Edge was saying I won’t Billy Gunn my King of the Ring win says it all
Let's not forget that King of the Ring 99 was only a month after Over the Edge '99.
A bad show only a month after the most controversial show, made by the same guy who recommended the idea that made OtE 99 so terrible and tragic.
To quote Roddy Piper 'Did you kill Owen Hart?'
@@VinnyVenom TBF it's not demons - he was a selfish pos and he wasn't ready to let Nancy leave him and he took his helpless son with him when he committed that selfish act. Let's also not forget that BEFORE that monstrous act, he had an ongoing affair with Nancy in wcw whiel she was still with Kevin Sullivan. He was never a saint and while he was a great wrestler, his history in wcw and turning his back on them and going to WWE makes his actions even more questionable as far as - was that just him or was it his steroids and concussions that caused his actions.
I will criticise Vince Russo for his writing style, but Vince Russo didn't Owen. Paper was in the wrong when he said.
@@NZ19 First of all, Benoit had a lot more going on when Nancy wanted to leave him, all of his friends were dying around him, mostly from ECW and of course, Eddie. His own doctor, plus the entire online steroid company who was shipping the juice to many WWE talent recommended the roids, and he was also on anti-anxiety and anti-depressant medication, as well as some sleep meds, plus his concussion issues were really bad, and his neck was screwing him up again, meaning he was also on lots of painkillers. He was barely lucid enough to call Chavo and message Jericho.
Second of all, his first relationship wasnt great and Nancy's relationship with Kevin Sullivan was awful, Nancy genuinely deserved Benoit over that balding twat.
Third of all, him leaving WCW wasnt him 'turning his back on WCW', WCW wasnt booking him right or... much at all between 99 and 2000, and Kevin Sullivan had booking power due to Bishoff being let go, plus Eddie, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn all wanted out of WCW first, Benoit wanted to leave with his friends, even if WCW had short sighted plans on making him a transitional champion. WCW didn't deserve any of those four, especially not the talented Guerrero and definitely not Benoit.
@@VinnyVenomhe also beat up his wife for years. So…
The Great American Bash 2004 was pretty brutal and December to Dismember was diabolical 😂
FACTS 💯 basically smackdown 2004 was a major bore
@@vampirascoffin870Nah It was beating raw in the ratings
@bls8959 It was badly hurt by injuries and absences. If what you're saying is true then we've got a Christmas miracle a few days too late.
@@bls8959I don't think it was. Also, ratings won't tell the true story. 2004 SD was more frail than a Jenga blocks building.
The best thing about this PPV is when The Rock and Undertaker fought into the crowd, and wound up right in front of me and my friends.
Nothing like shouting at dudes who are busy punching each other. LOL.
You lucky sons of guns 😂😂
Lucky SOB,s
Kids, don't take up smoking
Meth* don't take up smoking meth.
Smoking is alright.
Unless your only other option is to watch this. In that case, definitely take up smoking.
That's Steve Mafuggin Blackman to you.
Just saying… stealing the casket is still funny AF
Absolutely hilarious 🤣 especially when big show falls off
It would've been if there wasn't a body inside it...
Love this series, but while I'm hear - tell Jack to get working on his next weirdest shows ever, these series are both bloody brilliant viewing guaranteed! ❤️
Attitude era was 100x better than the current garbage product
Exactly people complaining about the ministry stuff is stupid did people forget they where a cult
I'd argue that mocking the Attitude Era is incredibly easy, thanks to all of the dumb shit that came out of it (ministry hanging, Steph being married whilst unconcious, the Venis incident, SCSA being ran over) ,the same goes for the Ruthless Aggression Era thanks to things like the reign of terror, Kerwin White and Cena's constant winning, but overall, I think the current product (though not as good), has remained more consistent in comparison.
"has remained more consistent in comparison." Consistently dull and boring.
@Kesyabasturd I wouldn't say it's boring. It was just consistently mid. The last year or so has been pretty good in all fairness, though.
The current product has been consistently crap let's not kid ourselves the only one from the attitude era is the Steph thing the ministry was a damn satanic cult
Yeaaaah I’ll take 90s trash over whatever the fuck they currently cal a product. Too embarrassed to even watch it
@@TheAutistWhispererBetter than the last 7 years at least.
My wife and I were just talking about how the stuff from the attitude era i.e. the nation of domination, God, father, and his holes and the crucifixion of Stephanie McMahon would not make it to the light of day in 2023. She knows 80s wrestling but turned off when she went to college. Where is I a big nerd
If you think about it, 1999 was the worst year of the Attitude era. All the big 4 PPVs were probably worse than both 98 and 2000, as well as KOTR. The storylines got way over the top in the middle of the year before things improved towards the end and into the greatness of the year 2000.
Was this guy even born during the attitude era? I thought he was only about 15 years old
I wonder how things would have looked if Chyna won the King Of The Ring tournament 🤔
Perhaps that Summerslam match between her and Austin would have happened
Austin wouldn't have done it
She might of ended up better then the actual winner lol poor billy gun getting buried by the rock and god 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@vincentwolf3739Bob?
This is when Vince was listening to the bad Vince way to much! Russo thought just because his 3 year old had no attention span that nobody could watch anything that went over 5 minutes. This caused the company to have almost any match that wasn't the main event or the top underneath match to get enough time.
As a fan of old school pro wrestling, I hated that! I remember early internet websites adding up all the actual wrestling from bell to bell. On most 2 or 3-hour shows, we'd get under 20 minutes of pro wrestling🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
WCW was doing something similar but with Hogan and Bishoff doing way too long of promos
Get someone who actually watched the AE in real time.
I know parts of the attitude era haven't aged well but how dare you even mention Last Airbender in the same breath as LITERALLY ANY WWE show. I would rather watch December to Dismember before watching Airbender. Or even the entire history of Katie Vick before watching that abomination. It is blatantly honest to god trash. Shaymalan killed what should have been an amazing spectacle that could've been the next big thing in hollywood for years. Mystical Martial Arts films. But instead he got literally everything wrong, down to even the names of the characters. What's worse is his children liked the show so he knew what he was doing. It's a disgrace, at least with WWE content if it's bad they are at least trying to do something for the audience. May not always work, but they try. Shaymalan didn't try, at all to adapt it. He threw shit out and made changes for the worse when he didn't have to. That film did really well openning weekend and then nosedived immediately. Its not the same compared to a bad WWE show, fans still came back to watch.
I audibly laughed at the take up smoking line. Great job
Any wrestling video that contains amazing simpsons content is great in my book.
Nothing will ever beat Crown Jewel 18 and 19 in my lifetime.😂
EDIT: I also meant to include Super-Showdown with the infamous Undertaker-Goldberg match.
3 words.... december to dismember.
@@jimbo_1312and that’s a fact
Not really. Nothing is going to beat king of the ring 1995 when it comes to lowest quality from PPVs.
@@darkundeadThe fourth IYH was horrible too that year
WWF really Billy Gunn'd this PPV
Just like your parents billy Gunn'd you right ?
rock and the undertaker weirdly never had good chemistry in singles matches, their best match was at no way out 2002 on ppv and even that wasnt great
I thought they had a good one on the raw before unforgiven 2000 I just seen it recently
@@Badmothafucka1222 i was on about ppvs, i dont recall that one
This is the first ppv I was allowed to watch live as a kid. It may have "sucked" but it will always be my first. Holds a special place in my heart.
Reviews as told by someone who wasn’t born at the time
I always kinda wonder about why the "DX as the Nation" segment gets so much hate, according to Mark Henry, they all thought it was funny as hell. Yes including X-Pac's bit. If noone involved was actually offended, then or now, then why is it suddenly offensive to show?
Cause blackface is racist as fuck, and shit that passed in the 90s doesn’t pass nowadays
Black face just isn't cool or funny no matter what
My guess is that none of them were aware of the conotations tied to it and it was only brought up after the fact and they removed it when they found out.
Chyna would have been a better choice to win than Billy Gunn.
Billy just didn’t work out as a top singles guy.
He needed a new gimmick first. Mr ass?
Lol, man actually buried the "Aw, son of a bitch" JR call.
As a fan since about 1990, I stayed a fan through most of the mid 90s until things just lost interest for me. The wwf during the attitude era was an extremely competitive environment and everybody got hostile over handling it. The story of the attitude era is Austin ripped a hole through the atmosphere and Vince tried to close it but he ended up embracing the chaos and he let things go wild.
That's why people cheered, this being a sub par ppv was no big deal, we were already looking forward to the next pay per view and all the raws in between. With a good television show you can expect transitioning episodes every so often. This ppv was a lengthier version of a transition episode. It's fine, Breaking Bad is full of transitional episodes too, I don't hear anybody trying to make Breaking Bad as worse than it was because of stuff like this.
Did breaking bad ever charge $50 for a transition episode?
@@gregsgreen5791 But sometimes the traditional episodes are where the real *mwah* comes from.
People were pretty satisfied to see the Austin McMahon escalate even further, which it was very well doing as they blew off the main chapter of it a month later. That's what people wanted a taste of, more Austin McMahon drama. Wwe could have put out a much shittier card and everyone would have been happy, except they made sure people would get a chance to see Kane, Taker, DX, Rock, Big Show and Ken Shamrock too. Everyone got their money's worth. Austin - McMahon felt like everything it could possibly be and that's what the show was built around.
But the RAWS mostly don't hold up either.....
@@Phoenixbrand95 So, let me tell you how things work.
It's not a check list where you tick if this was done and you x things that weren't done, it's just here's a bunch of stuff that compliments each other and it works because they all compliment to the vibe.
The way people review things now is like they're health and safety inspectors. This stuff works, this stuff doesn't work etc.
It all works, that's why it was so successful.
Freelance health and safety inspector mentalities trying to control how wrestling should be enjoyed by the masses is ruining wrestling, lol, it's definitely not the wrestling making wrestling bad.
@@kingofthebarstool1 Irish lad as well, I'm sure we have experiential overlap. Yeah I loved Ken Shamrock and was invested in the story through the show, Ken Shamrock was the hitman of the corporation and now he was going after Vince after he saw Vince didn't give a crap about family values and Vince was scared so he hired Blackman to keep Shamrock away from him. Simple storytelling, but here it gets fobbed off like it was a waste of time.
None of it was a waste of time, it definitely wasn't what you would call a good in ring show but it was all vibes and that's what everyone liked about it. People telling us what we felt was wrong basically lol, don't listen to them.
My grandmother recorded king of the ring when Billy Gunn won, and I watched it over and over again. I loved it lol
Lmao anyone in the correct age demo watching the attitude era would find it just as enthralling.
It's ok to not spend 90 seconds of a video apologizing for something you had no part in
You had to be there to really appreciate the Attitude era. Social media would have mocked this era because...social media.
Yeah I mean for God sakes why do so many people feel it necessary to sjw everything
Thank God there was no social media back then nobody wants to here sjws complain about everything
Lmao the Big Bossman hanging was wild. I couldn't even imagine the shitstorm that would cause today. Better times 😂
Love this series. Made getting on my treadmill for 20 minutes feel like a breeze today. Thank you 😅
Woot! 1K likes! This was a great video, @Cultaholic Wrestling.
Needed this 🙏
1994 king of the ring look at this guy , how much does he weigh
To be fair, after Austin, it was triple h, but after that, 1998 is remembered for one match, hell in a cell, take that out an you have a dodgy first blood match, a piss poor tournament with Shamrock winning an that's about it.
1999 was terrible but 2000 was actually pretty good, 2001 wasn't a bad show minus Benoit breaking his neck, 2002 was the last king of the ring PPV before it started holding the tournament on other ppv events. 2002 saw a young Brock lesnar work his way through an saw Austin taking his ball an going home.
My point, the 1993 king of the ring tournament really showcased how truly good Bret Hart could be, having 5 star matches with 3 different men in 3 totally different matches. That was a good show.
1994 was Owen's turn, again a solid showing for the King of Hart's, that's kinda were it went to shit, Mabel won 1995s event an the less said the better. 1996 was the birth of Austin 3:16 which to this day is often remembered for a promo rather than anything else on the PPV. 1997 Triple H stepped up an let's face it, that show, wasn't the greatest either.
The fact it took them 9 years to shit can the event is mind boggling. There's 2 matches that where amazing through the whole thing, hell in a cell an Kurt Angle Vs Shane McMahon. Want to see the physical destruction of Shane o mac watch Kurt demolish him in that match from 2001.
An Kurt wrestled 3 matches on that show. Proving then how good the man was.
In closing, King of the Ring was a forgettable event with a small handful of matches spanned over a decade that are worth watching.
I might be in the minority, but I actually loved this PPV. I remember watching it over and over when I was young.
Big Show should’ve won the KOTR
He was going to until it got spoiled online so they switched it to Billy Gunn winning
4:50
I do NOT recall The Rock crucifying Paul Bearer on a giant Brahma Bull logo.
‘99 really was insane.
You mispronounced. It’s not the higher power, it’s the hower power. 😊
16:30 Well it is in Greensboro, NC. Which is in the south and and a lot of their inhabitants are stuck in the 60s. The 1860s
Weren't a lot of WCW events held in Greensboro, just like the Cow Palace?
We get it dude the attitude era had some stinkers now get to the point of the video.
I was in the hospital following spinal surgery when this show hit., 15 years old. I begged my nurse to order this but they couldn't. After going to the hospital's library and checking the results, I am glad I didn't.
This was the first ppv my parents let me buy (used to have to go to friends or relatives).
That being said, this one in particular holds a special place in my memory. IMO this main event was RED HOT.
I'll have to give it another watch, but nearly 25 years removed, it felt like the briefcase was suspended MUCH higher above the ring (yes, I know the stooges or someone were raising the briefcase to prevent Austin from winning).
0:21 Except the budget for avatar the last airbender was 150 million so on top of the cost of advertising and on top of the cut the theatres take from that box office, that movie didn’t make any money. Just to be that guy.
Thank you for bringing this up I was wondering about the budget
that "do something more productive" line had me chuckling, excellent stuff
Billy Gunn winning King of the Ring pretty much bombed his current and honestly, it did little to no value for him. Sadly he never got a push to be WWF/E Champion and it went downhill since. Vince Russo behind the scenes butchered everything
How did he butcher everything? He was the head writer from 97 - late 99 when it was getting its highest ratings it ever got
Why do people still need an explanation for Boss Man helping the McMahons? It’s obvious logically they’re his boss, they probably paid him to do it, etc etc THERE IS NO LORE 😂
They should've had Brother Love be the higher power. Traded in his white and pink outfit for black and blue.. woulda been cool.
Shamrock stayed with the internal bleeding
Then why is that era one of the best and most profitable time then now and look at the ratings for todays product
Do Wrestlemania 9 next
Oops, kinda liked that show tbh 😅
The Raw in the build up when Rock became number one contender was the first Wrestling I ever saw though, maybe something to do with it. Literally just him walking backstage in his mad blue shirt made me stop dead hopping channels like "whose that guy?"
Then why is this the most talked-about ERA, no one watches today wrestling
Still waiting for the Super ShowDown 2019 and 2020 episodes.
I always loved Billy Gunn (aside from The One), and even I'm not sure this was the right call. I still think they did him dirty though!
What about kotr 1995?
This series is amazing. This show was indeed very weird looking back at it.
The higher power wouldve cooler if million dollar man or Kevin Sullivan or Jake the snake
It's more of a shame that the world has changed as much as it has.. the 90's were great.. we just didn't give a fuck!
The era wasn’t weird at all & was no different from anything else on tv at the time. People who call it weird simply did not experience it in real time lol
That was a damn good big bossman plan u came up with i honestly was going to say "steve blackman did it" the idea of shane being injured Blackman taking his place was a plan not to successfully executed but when blackman was sent to the back he wasn't being watched so he used ninja skills to get to the control room so at the right time raised the briefcase.
This show isn't all that bad. The WWE title match was good and so was Austin vs McMahons
But not the king of the ring matches which is most of the PPV
Why does the length of the match matter? If the match was good, it was good regardless of time. Plus there was a whole tournament going on so not every match can be 10+ minutes long.
Well how believable is it that only the STARS win and the other guys all get beat in short fashion ?
Not everyone was/is a Stone cold , Rock , HHH or Undertaker fan.
@@kinggreatness2355 Wrestling is a soap opera, you can't take it on believability. Dumb things happen and you just gotta role with it, suspension of disbelief and all that.
Yeah, i get that but Have you ever watched any CLASSIC wrestling matches ?
Only Squash matches were quick.
Each person has fans so why alienate them & force them into liking someone they don't ?
Example : Billy Gunn winning the King of the Ring.
They didn't even do a proper "King on his throne" segment.
The length of the match being short only matters to today's wrestling fans. Today's fans are only happy if they're watching guys cartwheel and back flip in a boring match for 20 minutes with no story. Today's fans, many of whom weren't even around for the attitude era, just want the same bland, generic crap, every week, every year with today's "more athletic" wrestlers 😂
@@herbertsherbert2142modern fans not liking these matches because they're way too short to even tell just a mat story, and they also like modern matches with no story? Which is it?
Kane should have won that King Of The Ring
Real interesting take on how this was technically the first Money In The Bank match 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'll take 3 minute matches over 30 minute ones with 3 commercials.
From that peak of 1997-2002, 1999 & 2002 easily the worst years of the bunch
The Rock's promo weeks later burying Billy
Bob?
No Bil
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HIS NAME IS!
Funnily enough, this was my first ever WWF PPV VHS so I actually have a soft spot for it.
Same here! One of my first anyway. I remember renting it on VHS, still remains one of my favourites.
Attitude era all day. Even the worst of the attitude era is better than today's crap.
6:19 JR probably was board, all main fueds in the Attitude Era, for some reason always looped back to McMahon vs Austin, even if it made no scense, like the Corporate Ministry.
1998 was a fantastic & memorable time for the attitude era but 1999 not so good , I think Russo had to much influence in booking .
I think most people would’ve preferred Ted “Million Dollar Man” as the higher power
That cheeky bugger Tom Campbell had me convinced we were getting KOTR ‘94, what with all the Art Donovan references he made in last week’s news videos.
@18:00 "And that means we were deprived of answering the all important question: Will Billy Gunn insist that the crown be placed on his ass?"
Vince Russo: "Damn it!!! Why didn't I think of that?!!!"
Aah the year 1999. Where Vince Mcmahon let Russo go full Russo on WWF programming.
Iv watched KOTR 99 , and it is horrible. Tbh Summerslam and No Mercy were the only good WWE PPVs from 99 ,
was it really worse the KoR 1995?
King of the Ring 1999 I remember watching the show recently It wasn't that bad to me I mean the rock and the undertaker was really good The McMahon's versus Austin ladder match was pretty good Mr ass winning King of the Ring only for his push to be derailed due to the fact of the rock promo on Sunday night heat I didn't mind him winning But it would have been very interesting to see Chyna win that
Thanks 🙏
The editing in The People's Champ DVD made the Rock/Taker match look decent
Who knew that Steph would be forced into a marriage later with HHH lol
The fact that Avatar: The last air bender made over $300 million means one thing to me: Of course, the movie is better. We all know that.
Great times
shit holds up we need that era today
Clearly this guy knows nothing
Honestly, no matter how bad a show can be put together, nothing will ever compare to WWF Over the Edge 1999. That’s a fact =\
At least you are not yawning this time
I hope Cultaholic Wrestling does the worst show ever for the 2002 King of the Ring.
Thank For The Video 🙊🤯😃😍👍🥰💐🌟🥇🏆
audio commentary is better
I forgot. Why did DX break up? I know HHH was breaking off to go solo and stuff.
That's actually why triple h joined the ministry
15:02 he was doing a power play again
0:02 - So, the WWE has been hemorrhaging money since the attitude era ended. UNTIL this past January, it began their partnership with the UFC. It also is when the ENTIRE McMahon family was bought out of the company, including Stephanie. They then re-organized their inner board removing Paul LeVesque (HHH) from any presidential or vice presidential positions and instead having him work as head of creation. This move was BIG because he was a member of the wrestling cast during the attitude era. Then, Dwayne Johnson (The Rock) made a very WISE decision, instead of investing into the WWE he invested in their new owners TKO Group Holdings. This investment was SO LARGE that he was placed on their Board of Directors co-leading WWE productions. Now, since then he has returned to the WWE. John Cena was already back, but has been given more future screen time. He played a HUGE ROLE in re-signing CM Punk. These feel like small things, but if you’ve been watching over the last month you can tell that the “attitude era” character style is back. They have sold out more stadiums this year (and it’s only march) than they did in 2022 & 2023 combined. The other thing to notice is the signs in the crowd, they are back. There have always been a few (like 10-12) but this past week it was at least 100. If they are trying to make money, this is the way to do it.
The Attitude Era was the greatest time ever!! The snowflakes of today would physically cry themselves into there pillows if they ever watched this stuff back
Says the Snowflake crying that someone is criticizing legitimate bad stuff
Edgy doesn't equal good.
I'm 23 and I rewatched the whole Attitude Era last year and it was awesome Entertainment, way better than today's WWE.
The only ones crying were the evangelicals and boomers whining about the ministry being “offensive” and goldust existing lol be fr. As a gen zer i love that stuff, you assume that one can’t have any issue with the AE while loving it, no nuance, just an all-or-nothing mindset. Yes, someone can find some parts of the AE bad while disliking the PG-current era stuff
I loved this PPV. Billy Gunn blazed through the tournament. Rock vs Taker was awesome especially with JR and King on the call. Austin vs McMahon's is always entertaining.
The New Generation had more "Great Matches" than Attitude's first half. Alot of Attitude WWF was brawling: Austin, Rock, Taker, Kane, Mankind..
Once 2000 hit and Y2J, Radicalz, and Angle came into the mix it got alot better.
Some of the comments in this video explain alot.
I remember staying at a mates and getting up at 1am on a school night (13 years old) to watch this. I loved Billy Gunn at the time and loved his win. Funny how over time perception changes things. If he'd gone on to be a megastar instead of being killed on the mic by The Rock (although he was clearly not good enough to do so), time might've looked at this show differently.
Oh I remember that promo. Man oh man
The sad thing is, he was a better in ring performer than The Rock, better than most infact. Just he lacked the mic skills. Road Dogg shored up that side of their duo as the New Age Outlaws perfectly.
I was there. The 1st WWF ppv I attended live. My 2 friends and I were excited about heading to it and kinda indifferent when it was over. Later that year 1 of those friends and I attended our 1st ECW house show and it blew that ppv away!
