I would not even say they were midcard wrestlers. I think they were ranked lower than that. When they formed together as Too Cool, they became so over to the point, they were getting better reactions than some of the upper card talents.
One of the strengths of the peak attitude era was that everyone on the card had an angle that they were involved in. Each wrestler had a story and there was a reason for each match. Anymore you can tell when two people are thrown together because creative just needs something for them to do.
@@dcon8590 100% i've said this for so long about current era WWE. I think a lot of the current problems stem from their biggest draws being part timers who only turn up for big PPV events. So the main events have basically no build up to why they are happening but they are hoping these big names pull in some casual viewers. Every time i've watched one of the major PPVs in the hope that something has changed its the same rubbish predictable nonsense (plus far too much women's wrestling) - they had two part timers win the Royal Rumbles last year ensuring that Wrestlemania's main event would have practically zero build up and also 3 times the same 2 wrestlers headlined Wrestlemania (really!?). Until they accept that a step backwards and away from these top draw part timers is required, even with the loss of revenue that would ultimately cause, they won't ever recover to be clear top dogs. If I was a wrestler coming up, I'd be staying well clear of the WWE as they aren't interested in building up their talent and playing the long game.
The personalities is what’s missing today. Not so much WWE’s fault either. The PC police would be all over programming like this. Infact is it just me or does the Right To Censor remind you of current attitude of the masses?
RIP Grandmaster Sexy I know many others are dead as well but to learn that he took his own life and was Jerry “The King” Lawlers son is blowing my mind rn. The Too Cool group was always my favorite group ❤😢
Keep in mind he was dubbed the next Bruno Sammartino after he won the belt from Superstar Billy Graham he main evented the Garden for almost 6 years before losing the World Title to The Iron Shiek

D-lo Browns entrance was legendary. The way he bobble heads to the ring and the Fink announcing him. "The man who drew number 1, D-Lo Brown" Still great to this day, 23 year later.
It's crazy how WWF used to sell the VHS home version for damn near £50 and now they just give it to us for free on UA-cam. The amount of VHS tapes I have -- what a waste of money, lol.😂
23:03 King: He's running for office. JR: In Connecticut. King: All you ever run for is dinner. JR: What's wrong with that? These two were so damn good together.
The Too Cool DANCE is still one of the best things to ever happen during any rumble. It's great that, if anything, they at least got this moment at a time when they were probably at their height.
8:15 one of the most epic moments in royal rumble history.. my personal favorite rumble! Not just the main event but the street fight between cactus jack and HHH for the title was insane!
I love the fact that Foley kicked out of the pedigree exclusively because he wanted HHH to hit it on him over the thumbtacks. What a damn legend, what a great match.
lol yes it did! 😂😂😂 It’s funny how Bob Backlund is statistically a GOAT but being younger I only saw him as a super random older dude lol I wonder what’s like the NBA equivalent to Bob Backlund ? 😂
@@Big_3000 well I mean fans who actually knew about road dogg or the NOA, know that the fans always chanted to his theme song when he/they come out lol.
@@gmonroy852 in 2011, when Cole and Lawler had their (terrible) feud, one of Cole's angles was bashing the King as a father. And Brian appeared at the events. That's when I became aware
Even though the WWF was a big company even in those days, the atmosphere didn't reflect that corporatism we see today where everything looks sleek and clean. I love the late 90s, early 2000s gritty, grimey look.
I wish I could individually thank each and every one of these guys for making my childhood so memorable. I’d give them all a million if I could. I appreciate and love all them for everything they’ve brought to the game. These were the best years in my opinion.

One of my most cherished memories was when we had a local event and Kane showed up wearing a Hawaiian T-Shirt and tie-dye hat. I live in Newfoundland.... it was maybe 4 degrees Celsius out.
Came here just to comment that. Amazing lmaoo. The way EVERYONE was into wrestling and was a fun. Literally boys and girls OF ALL AGES were into WWF. It’s amazing seeing vids from 1998-2000. It’s just insane how much influence WWF had in its pinnacle and prime. Always is a joy to see tbh.
nothing will ever compare to 1997-2003 WWF era. those 7 years is all i need to watch i can literally watch this shows anytime and if just gives me that magically feeling
im so lucky to have been a kid then. trusting my bro that he knew how to do the moves without hurting me... back in the day when there was no youtube/internet (we didnt have it if there was) to see how to do the moves and truly know if it really was fake or not lol The magic has gone now. Went down hill when Cena got big. Pretty sure Cena will be the last true great with the likes of The Rock Stone Cold ETC. damn we were lucky!
@@zwszechariahswrestlingshow4704 They're talking about Jerry Lawler's son, who was Grand Master Sexay. From what I heard, he hung himself in a prison cell. Very sad!
I was at this match as a kid, what a great memory this was. The rock “won” and then was found out to have actually lost the next night on raw lol you ALMOST can’t write this shitb
I was born in 1994. I remember watching this when I was 6 years old. My dad died in 2001 when I was 7. I remember this like it was yesterday. RIP to all those that entertained me as a child. You will never know the impact you had on the children of the 90s/2000s. The Attitude Era. I loved every second of staying up past my bedtime to watch WWF ❤
I love that Scotty and Grandmaster Sexay immediately forgave their friend. They act with realism. First Disappointment, than "Okay" and than 9:23 Sexay already dancing to the theme again.
They don't even need to get rid of the 1st Ammendment -- most people are so sensitive and offended by everything these days, on Twitter etc., the mass-compliance does it by itself.
Don't know what you got till it's gone. Can you imagine being told during this rumble what wwe looks like now? You wouldnt be able to believe it if someone put you in a time machine and showed it you.
@@theytrynabecray Pretty cool looking back at it now. Obviously with the internet not being as big in the year 2000 as it is now, most people would have been unaware that Lawler was his father unless you were a diehard fan. I was only 5 at the time so yea I was far from aware considering I still didn't understand "kayfabe" haha anyway I found it entertaining listening to Lawler introduce his son in character and the camera pan on Lawler was classic.
Brings back so many memories. My friend who recently passed went to this rumble, he said it was amazing. We grew up marking out to wrestling, I miss him a lot.
🤣 The fat jokes were so on point in this match. The king is like none other 🤣 I’m not sure why the camera went there right after the dance though. Very awkward 😂

Remember watching this on channel 4 in the UK when I was about 14 back when the internet didn't ruin everything and everyone talked about what happened on the school bus best days
Yes my OG 🤣 was sick of seeing all these little kids who never even grew up on this comment , only we know what it was really like back then , internet ruined it all , the early internet days were fun when it had NO social media , good times good times
Didn't see this one on ch4 but I do remember staying up the year later for that royal rumble, such an incredible match, extremely exhausted the next day though
@Angel Rodriguez yep. RIP Grand Master Sexay. Such a sad story when someone commits suicide. Although there's a high chance it wasn't suicide. I hope Jerry gets justice for his son!
@@edseatingtour1014 he wasn't a coward he is the best wwe wrestler and he is the most played wrestler in wwe history with 1700+ matches also back to your point Wwe is scripted and it's not real however the pain they go through is indeed real wich means kane basically sacrificed his legacy and put it into newcomers and new wrestlers . WICH means it's WWE fault because they destroyed kane
We taped it on VHS. There was a time when Channel 4 would show the PPV's for free on terrestrial in the UK. Me and my little bro would watch it over and over
I still remember that ending. I forgot how the Rock won, but then I saw it again after about 20 years. 23 to be exact. Still got me just as excited, even though the winner was spoiled to me
I used to love how the acolytes/APA used to just quickly walk to the ring and start fighting. No show boating nothing fancy. Just a quick walk, slide into the ring, and start throwing hands. Such an underated intro.
I remember when this happened….. but I still wonder why they didn’t just team up until the end. I can still remember me and my buddies howling about the possibility of them dancing for the whole rumble
Royal rumble '98 is hands down best one of all time! Everyone involved got their moment and the one everybody wanted to win did. Just litteral pure entertainment for an hour plus.
You should watch wwe untold on the network about cactus & hhh's rivalry. They go into so much detail about that match. I had no idea hhh had a piece of wooden pallet stab his ankle at one point
@@briguy459 Nothing wrong with it. What are you gonna do, kill them so they wouldn't outlive their sons? All kinds of things can happen. In my country, a guy even outlived his son and rest of family because he just lived longer.
@@Amadeus_Eisenberg pretty sure I was drinking when I wrote this, but it's in the sense that am adult should never have to bury thier child. Having an adult son pass, would be heartbreaking, as if an adult had survived childhood with disease, famine and war to contend with then you'd expect the worst / most vulnerable years for them to be over. Losing an adult son or daughter would be awful.
Man I miss moments like that with Rikishi,Scotty '2' Hotty and Grand Master Sexay man those guys were hilarious and always made me laugh whenever they dance and the look on Rikishi's face when they put the sunglasses on.

Came here just to comment that. Amazing lmaoo. The way EVERYONE was into wrestling and was a fun. Literally boys and girls OF ALL AGES were into WWF. It’s amazing seeing vids from 1998-2000. It’s just insane how much influence WWF had in its pinnacle and prime.
Always is a joy to see tbh.
nothing will ever compare to 1997-2003 WWF era. those 7 years is all i need to watch i can literally watch this shows anytime and if just gives me that magically feeling
@Hewhoremains for some parts
WWF was till 2001 only
im so lucky to have been a kid then. trusting my bro that he knew how to do the moves without hurting me... back in the day when there was no youtube/internet (we didnt have it if there was) to see how to do the moves and truly know if it really was fake or not lol The magic has gone now. Went down hill when Cena got big. Pretty sure Cena will be the last true great with the likes of The Rock Stone Cold ETC. damn we were lucky!
@Hewhoremains420 nice profile picture
𝑾𝑾𝑭-- RΔШ IS ШΔR ❤
King's reaction to his son being the #2 entrant is priceless. R.I.P. Grand Master Sexay.
How did he die?
He is not dead
@@zwszechariahswrestlingshow4704 he is dead for a while, look it up
@@zwszechariahswrestlingshow4704 They're talking about Jerry Lawler's son, who was Grand Master Sexay. From what I heard, he hung himself in a prison cell. Very sad!
@@jeannesimmons9155 he committed suicide.
I was at this match as a kid, what a great memory this was. The rock “won” and then was found out to have actually lost the next night on raw lol you ALMOST can’t write this shitb
I was born in 1994. I remember watching this when I was 6 years old. My dad died in 2001 when I was 7. I remember this like it was yesterday. RIP to all those that entertained me as a child. You will never know the impact you had on the children of the 90s/2000s. The Attitude Era. I loved every second of staying up past my bedtime to watch WWF ❤
Nostalgia
Jerry Lawler: "Let's see what poor schmuck this is."
"You look fly today"
It's his boy!
eh... all I can hear is "naaahhh your gay"...
There has never been a better set of commentators than King and JR. They were so funny and entertaining to listen to. They had great chemistry.
They were the best! Michael and taz were like Pepsi, JR and king were like Coke the the real deal
Heenan and Monsoon are my goats, then again I'm old lol
I love that Scotty and Grandmaster Sexay immediately forgave their friend. They act with realism. First Disappointment, than "Okay" and than 9:23 Sexay already dancing to the theme again.

“I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good ol days before you actually left them” -Andy Bernard
Very true ;_;
Don't know what you got till it's gone. Can you imagine being told during this rumble what wwe looks like now? You wouldnt be able to believe it if someone put you in a time machine and showed it you.
2Cool segment is really so cool, cant stop smilling watching this. And its funny how Scotty2Hotty coming just for dancing and eliminated. 😆
It wasn't that long. But it's the most memorable part of the 2000 Rumble for me
I forgot how entertaining it is to hear Jim Ross say "Grandmaster Sexay"
Lmao I thought I was the only one. I popped everytime haha
that was jerry lawyer, but yeah lol
@@theytrynabecray Pretty cool looking back at it now. Obviously with the internet not being as big in the year 2000 as it is now, most people would have been unaware that Lawler was his father unless you were a diehard fan. I was only 5 at the time so yea I was far from aware considering I still didn't understand "kayfabe" haha anyway I found it entertaining listening to Lawler introduce his son in character and the camera pan on Lawler was classic.
@@theytrynabecray Nah, that was differently Jim Ross.
I thought he was Shawn Michaels
7:53 This segment made me laugh more than it should've. Entertainment at its best ❤
I laughed when I saw it also back in 2000..😂
This spot was sic af
Brings back so many memories. My friend who recently passed went to this rumble, he said it was amazing. We grew up marking out to wrestling, I miss him a lot.

D-Lo's theme and his head movement always had me crackin up lmao
He the bid when he walk out 😂😂😂😂😂
his neck always looks broken and just flopping around
His head shake always reminds me of Elmo😂
I tried it and ended up in the hospital with a broken neck 😓
Looked like he had a big line before entry every fight
Really happy to see that the MSG crowd remembers Bob Backlund.
Lmao, loved how Jerry looked at his son Grandmaster Sexay in disgust 😂🤣😂🤣 also funny af how Funaki kept interfering in the match lmao
That’s really his son?.. I was today years old 1/20/21 when I found this out
I don't think that it was in disgust. It was disappointment that he had to come out as number 2.
@@j-son221 Jerry hated his son for being gay
@@rightinthedome9973 That's not a thing. Jerry loved his son but was ashamed of his drug habbits. He was devestated when he died

So no ones gonna talk about how the camera zoomed into rikishi’s butt AND JR telling The King “I figured you liked a crater or two”🤣
💀🤣🤣
🤣
The fat jokes were so on point in this match. The king is like none other 🤣
I’m not sure why the camera went there right after the dance though. Very awkward 😂

He said dimple haha.
@Life with Lulu Ikr lol 💀
Royal Rumble 2000 , 2001 and 2002

Really so I should ignore the part in TNA that Brian Lawler said bad things about his father Jerry Lawler.

Remember watching this on channel 4 in the UK when I was about 14 back when the internet didn't ruin everything and everyone talked about what happened on the school bus best days
Bro am 16 right now but you are so right
Yes my OG 🤣 was sick of seeing all these little kids who never even grew up on this comment , only we know what it was really like back then , internet ruined it all , the early internet days were fun when it had NO social media , good times good times
@@QFilmz kids today absolutely begging for likes on Facebook and insta absolute bums haha
After mae young got naked and the brutal cactus jack / hhh match, channel 4 immediately cancelled any prime time wwf viewing 😂
Didn't see this one on ch4 but I do remember staying up the year later for that royal rumble, such an incredible match, extremely exhausted the next day though
8:14 epic wwe moment! 😃
Gold times of wwe/childhood :D
same here. I laughed so much to this but was so entertained. 2000 was magical.
44:00
They Vibin tho
5:20 to hear Lawler say that knowing now its his son is crazy and sad at the same time
Back when wrestling had character.. and character had " character " 😔 miss the attitude era and the good old days
Backlund's pop is one of my favorites. I think he was surprised by the genuine outpouring of deep respect.
Jerry Lawler: "That guy is huge! I bet his bathtub has stretch marks." 🤣😂
Epic comments! 😂😂😂
@@Vm94-p7u Jerry Lawler had some of the funniest comments through the years.
@Angel Rodriguez yep. RIP Grand Master Sexay. Such a sad story when someone commits suicide. Although there's a high chance it wasn't suicide. I hope Jerry gets justice for his son!
And the funny thing is years later he used the same joke on Vicky Guerrero
@@konnorrockkonnoisseur4970 She's not even fat! I mean she's not exactly skinny either, but still.
30:09 I love so much that everyone in the arena do the "oh you didn't know" when Road Dogg music hits xD
2:30 The way JR says Grandmaster sexy, I've never heard him say it like that before or since
Me just now realizing that’s his son explains his voice and facial expression like wtf lmaooo
Sounded like Mr Garrison from South Park lol
he actually said it this way a lot
@@PWingate25He was Jerry Lawler's boy. Not Jim Ross.
8:21 that camera angel is so iconic.
Commentary from JR and King is just iconic!!
The banter back and forth is so great to listen to more that I'm older and understand the references
Absolute world class
watching this in 2024...SOOOO many Rest in Peace moments. Makes me really sad,honestly but is also so good to see these legends in action again.
D'Lo's entrance walk is wild 😂
🤣🤣
he's in TNA now as commentator
bro i can't stop laughing
FR 😂😂
Always enjoyed his intros. Whoooo
Back when Kane could get hit with a chair and not feel anything
Then by 2008 he was retreating like a coward
@@edseatingtour1014 he wasn't a coward he is the best wwe wrestler and he is the most played wrestler in wwe history with 1700+ matches also back to your point
Wwe is scripted and it's not real however the pain they go through is indeed real wich means kane basically sacrificed his legacy and put it into newcomers and new wrestlers . WICH means it's WWE fault because they destroyed kane
@@EsKimoS0 lol yeah
And could body slam a legit 500 pound version of the Big Show with ease.
And had Teri as a manager...?? Lol
This will always be the best Royal Rumble for me. WWF at it's peak where even lower card wrestlers were getting huge pops.
Test got a huge pop
@@Shadow-117x Test was OVER af in 99-2000.
HHH stopped that push.
I rented this VHS when i was a 6 year old kid , this is forever engraved in my head
We taped it on VHS. There was a time when Channel 4 would show the PPV's for free on terrestrial in the UK. Me and my little bro would watch it over and over
The way JR say “grandmaster Sexay”😂😂
The way Howard Finkel says it
0:30 Jerry Lawler: "Whoever drew number two has the same mountain (to climb). Poor schmuck is this"
His own son enters number 2
Jerry Lawler "WHAT!?"
I’m happy about this match being posted and the fact that they didn’t blur out the WWF logo
yeah the world wildlife fund cut them a break
Aaron thanks I did not know that I thought they still blurred them
@@batlaughsdc2755 Nah, you should totally get the WWE Network, everything is there unblurred :)
@Aaron Lawsuit or Not, THAT Logo holds a Legacy.
They have the rights to show the logo now
I still remember that ending. I forgot how the Rock won, but then I saw it again after about 20 years. 23 to be exact. Still got me just as excited, even though the winner was spoiled to me
I used to love how the acolytes/APA used to just quickly walk to the ring and start fighting. No show boating nothing fancy. Just a quick walk, slide into the ring, and start throwing hands. Such an underated intro.
So sad to see how many of these great athletes are no longer with us. Bulldog, Grandmaster, Crash, Test...
Bossman and Chyna too
viscera too
if only bradshaw were among them
I was just thinking about that as I was watching British Bulldog enter the ring. So many legendaries lost.
You forgot visera
00:07:50 one of my all time favourite rumble moments.
when that little man carrying flylock on his head came out i went nuts
will go down in history.
I remember when this happened….. but I still wonder why they didn’t just team up until the end.
I can still remember me and my buddies howling about the possibility of them dancing for the whole rumble
"We may get down for a while!"
True
Royal rumble '98 is hands down best one of all time! Everyone involved got their moment and the one everybody wanted to win did. Just litteral pure entertainment for an hour plus.
Chyna was an absolute legend. Fighting for the IC title and entering the Rumble in one of the greatest PPV's ever. Women's Revolution in 2000
lol "women's revolution", such cringy vibes.
Who else grew up too broke to ever watch these live as a kid but now get to relive this as adults?
There was a pub down the street from my old house, and they played the ppv’s and as long as you bought something off the menu, they’d let you stay.
Pretty sure this was free on channel 4 in the UK 😂
@@rykelly82ify yes it was.
@@rykelly82ify untill sky bought the rights in 2002
I remember when kids used to talk about the ppv at school the next day. damn I hated it.
The Street Fight between Cactus Jack and Triple H was a classic. The best match in Royal Rumble history.
You should watch wwe untold on the network about cactus & hhh's rivalry. They go into so much detail about that match. I had no idea hhh had a piece of wooden pallet stab his ankle at one point
@@MeNoSpeakJibberish One of the extras of the dvd of the show was Triple H getting that big hole stitched up backstage, it was gruesome!
the best rumble? lol
@@AllEliteSatire I think he mean best match in the Royal Rumble PPV History (I agree).
@@Alanbec3 It was a classic. Another in the list has to be Angle vs Benoit for the title in 2003
Imagine being in locker room, watching Rikishi come out and clean the house by himself and then dancing while it's your turn to come out next.

Men should never outlive thier sons
@@briguy459
Nothing wrong with it. What are you gonna do, kill them so they wouldn't outlive their sons? All kinds of things can happen. In my country, a guy even outlived his son and rest of family because he just lived longer.
@@Amadeus_Eisenberg pretty sure I was drinking when I wrote this, but it's in the sense that am adult should never have to bury thier child. Having an adult son pass, would be heartbreaking, as if an adult had survived childhood with disease, famine and war to contend with then you'd expect the worst / most vulnerable years for them to be over. Losing an adult son or daughter would be awful.
I loved Too Cool and Rikishi. This was wrestling at its peak IMO when you look at the build of the entire roster.
