You guys still come back to my content. Love you all❤️🙏🏼🫡
The Summer of 2008 in general was awesome. The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2 The Golden Army, Iron Man and Tropic Thunder dropped that summer. Soul Calibur 4, Star Wars the Force Unleashed and GTA 4 dropped that year, too. 2008 was just a chill year. It'll never be that way again.
@@vin9663Actually the whole year Unforgiven: Jericho as world champion, No Mercy: Jeff Hardy vs HHH, Cyber Sunday: Batista new world champion, Survivor Series: Cena returns and new world champion, Armageddon: Jeff Hardy finally WWE champion
Summer of 2019 in fact, that whole year was probably the best year of my life, I was in a great relationship, NXT was poppin week in week out, meanwhile AEW was just blooming, I finally got a PS4 owning all 3 major consoles of that gen, friends and fam weren’t as busy so we all hung out often. Man, what a time to be alive.
It's 2008 The Incredible Hulk, Jumper & 10,000 BC were in theaters, Slipknot released their All Hope Is Gone Album, GTA IV, Saints Row 2, Call Of Duty: World At War, Far Cry 2, Gears Of War 2 & Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009 just came out and the ruthless aggression era had just ended
I remember being reduced to tears when my friend told me that Edge beat Taker in the TLC match back at elementary school. I hated Edge so damn much back then. LMAO
We thought we had it bad that year with the PG era dawning, but it was nothing compared to those truly dark years beginning in 2010 when the star power dropped off massively
The summer of 2008 was one of the best of my life. I had finished secondary school and was enjoying my last summer holidays before starting my apprenticeship. I cycled a lot, hung out with my friends, listened to banging music on my 2GB MP3 player and met my future wife. Wrestling that year was simply magical. I was so happy for CM Punk. And just like you, I celebrated the end of Edge at the hands of Taker with my friends!
This summer was actually my first ever time going to a wrestling show they did a double show both Raw and SmackDown with my family thanks for bringing back some memories
Jeff finally winning the big one and getting his moment will always be one of the best title wins. The only downfall in '08 was Umaga being used as a "jobber to the stars" and losing his monster aura.
In Storyline, I love how Batista was angry at Shawn for "retiring" Ric Flair even though the two forgave each other and they were no hard feelings. If anything, Dave should have directed his anger towards Vince McMahon since he was the one who enforced the "you lose, you retire" stipulation on Flair in the first place.
2016 summer was peak for me. Cena vs AJ, the Shield triple threat and feud, the returning brand split Finn Balor and Kevin Owens being the first universal champions, the entire cruiserweight classic, nxt was cooking with shinsuke, samoa joe, and asuka, sheamus vs cesaro best of 7, and a bunch of other fun and crazy stuff to watch as a kid
2016 in wwe was kinda trash to me, romans run was terrible, finn and ko weren't exactly fit to be top main event star guys wielding those titles, but I do lie that there was opportunities
Chris Jericho from 08 to 2010 was a complete menace i remember he tried to relapse CM Punk to drink talking trash about his family saying they were users of drugs and alcohol Chris was on a different planet then
i was like 3 in 2008 when the taker v edge HIAC happened, and the match was so good that it's literally one of my first memories ever and has always stuck with me to this day, especially the ending
For me, the Summer of 2016 in WWE was special. I was going into my Freshman Year of High School and the company decided to cook a 5 star meal during the Summer to lead me into High School. You had Seth Rollins returning to kick off Summer, the Dean Ambrose masterclass at MITB, The Brand Split was back and that was super exciting, the Shield Triple Threat at Battleground, NXT was hitting on another level, and of course, the legendary John Cena vs AJ Styles match at Summerslam. The Summer of 2016 was so special for me as a wrestling fan.
Dude same!!! My first summer to watch was leading up to night of champions see the the draft for the first time was the best to see I still go back that show and love to relive the rest of the year with a bang of memories
2008 is one of my favorite years for the WWE, don’t care what anyone says. Jeff Hardy chasing the WWE Title, Undertaker Vs Edge, Y2J Vs Shawn Michaels, etc. One Night Stand 2008 is probably my favorite show of the year, Rev Theory’s Hell Yeah (ONS Theme) always gets my adrenaline pumping and makes me think of 2008 In general.
@@pleaseshutup7053 yeah, I think I am wrong, its hard to tell when cena is buried, ut compared to his other years, he lost a bunch of more matches than often, but he still won a lot
I just realized that a lot of the great moments I remember from my childhood as a wrestling fan took place in the summer of 2008 !! Thanks for the video man
SummerSlam 2008 was the last time I was truly sports entertained with the company overall. Yes, the PG rating happened before SummerSlam 2008, but there was enough Ruthless Aggression vibes to give the era a fitting end. I mean, the Shawn Michaels/Chris Jericho feud hitting its highest point, Edge vs The Undertaker in HiaC, and Batista vs John Cena, the two biggest names on the RA era. SummerSlam 2008 is to the RA era what WrestleMania 17 was to the Attitude Era. After this, WWE would quickly begin it's dark age and it wouldn't be until pretty much WrestleMania 40 before the company finally returned to its former glory.
For me 2008-9 was truly a great year. I was 9 and I got into everything I like because of that year, wrestling, video games, rock music. It was a good year for those things and as a child I absorbed it all and still love it to this day. SVR 2009 was also my first wrestling video game so it's really special.
You forgot to mention HBK vs Jericho at Judgement Day, but great video. Please cover the awesome 2009 smackdown and 2009 ecw, not the best time but i loved regal ecw “push” and was a nice C show.
Even though i wasn't old enough to witness this (was born today 16 years ago) it feels good to know that i was born around a time when WWE was really PEAK and going back to watch these Raws, Smackdowns, and PPVS were amazing
The Jeff Hardy vs Umaga feud is the reason why im a wrestling fan. 8 year old me seeing Jeff Hardy doing all this crazy shit, i thought he was a superhero(that’s also why he’s my goat)
You know a lot of people say 2008 was bad because of the PG era but honestly the PG era wasn’t bad until Raw became 3 hours. Everyone has opinion but I would say 2013-2022 was the bad era of WWE.
I own One Night Stand 2008 on DVD and it is super underrated, the match with the Big Show is underrated imo and Big Shows best match because it shows how truly terrifying he can be
The summer of 2012 was a good one for me but 2015 stands out more. From NXT starting to interest me more to the Cena and KO feud along with Seth Rollins championship run made that summer great for me.
Edge, Cena, Batista, Undertaker, Orton, Triple H, Punk, Mysterio, HBK. There were a lot of 100 overalls in 08. And that’s just WWE. TNA was in there prime around this time too.
I agree and WrestlinGifs when it was 2008 my mom asked me out of all the ppvs which one did I wanna order for my bday and I said well SummerSlam was August 17th,2008 but unforgiven was September 7th,2008 and I said I either wanna do a ppv close to my bday or on it bc I didn't wanna have it past and summerslam was the only choice and I loved the show top to bottom and seeing undertaker chokeslam edge from the ladder post match only to have the fire coming up under the ring was *chefs kiss*and I thanked my mom for the early birthday present of summerslam
Man the Summer of 08’ was legit the time of my life, I had finally gotten into wrestling at WrestleMania 24 & it captivated me. My dad bought us every PPV until Unforgiven. This product is what made me a wrestling fan for life and I couldn’t be more appreciative of you for sharing your sentiments of this time. I just enjoy reminiscing about this time in my life because wrestling was my escape after my parents divorce and I truly felt connected to each storyline. Genuinely one of the best summers in wrestling history
2008 hands down was one of the best years as a kid. For movies you got The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, Tropic Thunder, Kung Fu Panda and Wall E. For games you got GTA IV, Star Wars The Force Unleashed, COD World at War, Far Cry 2, Saints Row 2, Left 4 Dead, Battlefield Bad Company and SVR 2009. For music you got 2 goated rap albums The Carter III and 808’s and Heartbreak all came out in the great year of 2008. Even though WWE turned PG as kids everything was just good to us man. What a time to be alive. 🥲
WWE, GTA 4, Iron Man, The Dark Knight, Mirrors Edge, Tropic Thunder, COD2 Far cry 2 Slumpdog Millionaire Wall E and Sonic Unleashed. 2008 was a great time 🔥
I was a lapsed fan for a lot of the stuff your content is centered around, but your videos have gotten me to go back and check out stuff from those years! Keep up the great work Veere! For me it would be Summer 2000 or 2001. That magical feeling you talked about was big in those years
Great video Pav, keep up the great content. My summer has to be last year 2023, not just for wrestling but the whole summer in general. Around this time, The Bloodline Civil War was kicking up a notch (shoutout to Phineas and Ferb), the Seth Rollins/Finn Balor feud, AEW holding a stadium show in London, Money In The Bank was a legendary show for me and new episodes of Hamster and Gretel were dropping. This summer was just a fun time for me.
Fun fact: Jericho smashing Shawn’s face through the Jeri-tron was the kayfabe explanation as to why Shawn had a lazy eye. In reality, he already had it for nearly four years after his match with Kane at Unforgiven 2004.
Brings me back to being 12 years old, I turned 12 the day the 08 draft happened and it was fun seeing Edge and Cena feud again, and Jeff being drafted to smackdown.
I had a pirated summer slam 08 dvd when I was a kid and I used to watch that every single day just for the cell match. I got a hell in a cell toy set a few months later and I used to do every move in that match with my figures. Good times
Summer 09 where my 10 year old self was so invested in Jeff Hardy. Extreme Rules 2009 Ladder Match vs Edge for the world title is still to this day my fav Jeff Hardy match. I remember being broken after CM Punks cash in😂 but the Hardy Punk feud during this summer will always be the feud of my childhood that I will remember.
Kids these days just do not understand how awesome it was to be a wrestling fan as a kid in between 2004 and 2010. From Eddie Guerrero's addiction speech single handily changing my mom's opinion on wrestling (she wasn't sure about letting me watch it because of its reputation but she caught me watching it in her room right as Eddie started to respond to Lesnar) to the og One Night Stands/Bloodsport DVD completely desensitizing the neighborhood to blood to Jeff Hardy's 2008/2009 being truly iconic, it was special. Especially with amazing games and the magic of urban legends that couldn't be answered easily. I'd sell my soul to go back to my 9 year old self and relive watching Royal Rumble 2008 live with my cousins.
Broo been watching your vids for a couple years now and man you grew up in the same time in wrestling as me! All your videos give me mad memories watching with me and my fam just like you bro. Big love from Brisbane, Australia broski 🇦🇺 blessings
My summer was 2014. You had: -The Shield break up -Seth with Money in the bank and his fire feud with Ambrose -Roman started his rise -Usos and Wyatts cooking in the tag division -Cena had his 2nd to last world title reign -Rusev was actually threatening -Start of Hollywood Miz -Nikki turning on Brie was shocking to 10 year old me -Randy doing his thing -And of course Brock's obliteration of Cena at SS A lot of it isn't great in hindsight but that period gives me so much nostalgia
Yeah bro this legit one of my favorite times in WWE I remember all this vividly I was 13 @ the time and had been into wrestling about year @ that point these I miss these days brings back so much nostalgia rewatching these moments from back then glad we got Peacock to watch it all we want🤣always enjoy your content keep it coming man stay blessed🫡💯

How we never got a CM Punk vs Edge feud is beyond me.

Fun fact: Jericho smashing Shawn’s face through the Jeri-tron was the kayfabe explanation as to why Shawn had a lazy eye. In reality, he already had it for nearly four years after his match with Kane at Unforgiven 2004.
Always thought that was funny the retcon an injury years after plenty of promos and matches we can clearly see his eye got fucked up
Agree Pav, Summer 2008 was my first summer as a wrestling fan and it was a special time.
Brings me back to being 12 years old, I turned 12 the day the 08 draft happened and it was fun seeing Edge and Cena feud again, and Jeff being drafted to smackdown.
2007 and 08 to me best times i have being wwe fan
The summer of 2013 has a special place in my heart, that’s the year I truly got into wrestling with watching every RAW, Smackdown and the big PPVs
2021 for me, I look back on it so fondly I wish I could go back to a time when things were easier. Great video Pav, keep the bangers coming!❤❤❤
same
I went to my first RAW on March 24th that year, it was the week before Wrestlemania and Ill never forget it!
You talking about the smackdown thing with your mom reminded me of when me and my mom saw nexus debut live great times in life
I had a pirated summer slam 08 dvd when I was a kid and I used to watch that every single day just for the cell match. I got a hell in a cell toy set a few months later and I used to do every move in that match with my figures. Good times
Summer 09 where my 10 year old self was so invested in Jeff Hardy. Extreme Rules 2009 Ladder Match vs Edge for the world title is still to this day my fav Jeff Hardy match. I remember being broken after CM Punks cash in😂 but the Hardy Punk feud during this summer will always be the feud of my childhood that I will remember.
I don't know why I enjoy living vicariously through people's experiences with wrestling growing up that I didn't experience.
2008 was the last great year of vince’s reign. it wasn’t until triple h took over that the product started reaching those heights again
I bet that Edge getting destroyed at SummerSlam was the peak of Pav's year.
OMG my mom hated wrestling but loved that edge and vickie fued she still references it to this day so when you brought that up I was like omg me to!
Kids these days just do not understand how awesome it was to be a wrestling fan as a kid in between 2004 and 2010. From Eddie Guerrero's addiction speech single handily changing my mom's opinion on wrestling (she wasn't sure about letting me watch it because of its reputation but she caught me watching it in her room right as Eddie started to respond to Lesnar) to the og One Night Stands/Bloodsport DVD completely desensitizing the neighborhood to blood to Jeff Hardy's 2008/2009 being truly iconic, it was special. Especially with amazing games and the magic of urban legends that couldn't be answered easily. I'd sell my soul to go back to my 9 year old self and relive watching Royal Rumble 2008 live with my cousins.
Broo been watching your vids for a couple years now and man you grew up in the same time in wrestling as me! All your videos give me mad memories watching with me and my fam just like you bro.
Big love from Brisbane, Australia broski 🇦🇺 blessings
My summer was 2014. You had:
-The Shield break up
-Seth with Money in the bank and his fire feud with Ambrose
-Roman started his rise
-Usos and Wyatts cooking in the tag division
-Cena had his 2nd to last world title reign
-Rusev was actually threatening
-Start of Hollywood Miz
-Nikki turning on Brie was shocking to 10 year old me
-Randy doing his thing
-And of course Brock's obliteration of Cena at SS
A lot of it isn't great in hindsight but that period gives me so much nostalgia
@@djlarrykoopa I know you did not include Brie and Nikki. 2014 really was trash thanks for highlighting it
Surprised you didn't mention Survivor Series and Stings debut
@@richborn6700 he’s talking about the summer only
Never forget that part of Unforgiven 2008 when the Brian Kendrick was WWE champion for a short amount of time during the scramble match
My parents fighting over the finance match💀
