In this video I go back and take a look at it all... from the beginning of 2021 up until 2023 and what the future could hold in 2024!

lots of y’all asking why LA Knight wasn’t mentioned, there was a 5 min section on rising stars at the end that I ended up cutting
did a whole vid on the new wave, so I didn’t feel like it needed to be repeated all over. apologies guys🙏🏽 ofc he’s one of the most over guys in the company we all know.
LA KNIGHT YEAH!!!!!!!!
I’m watching this video off my tv but as soon as it finished I was like “YO WHAT ABOUT LA KNIGHT?!!!” So I pulled out my phone to comment- but saw this comment first!! Lol
*DUMMY-YEAH!!*
Edit; should’ve kept it in, at the end of the day what’s 5 more minutes lol. You could’ve then plugged the new wave video
@SuperkickStudios What about Sasha Banks and Naomi walking out of the company. It seems you forgot.
@@chadbrisco4042in comparison to everything else that happened those two are a footnote. Especially since neither have done anything especially memorable since leaving
Bro please tell me how do you know SRK 😮😮?
Triple H doesn’t get enough credit. He was absolutely the MVP of the last two years. He knows what the fans want, and he gives it to us, no strings attached. I’m incredibly grateful that I was around to see these 24 months play out, because it’ll be extremely difficult to top.
I'd also like to point out the work Shawn Michaels has put in to revive NXT, it's finally back to being must watch in my opinion
@@Jef_Jingles2.0 was slept on in 2021, but when they finally changed back too jus NXT it’s sometimes better than smackdown or raw.
@@initailo1536 NXT 2.0 was awful at first but it became a breath of fresh air. Characters over wrestlers. Sure the wrestling in NXT may be not be the best compared to Black and Gold but NXT has always been about creating new stars which 2.0 has succeeded in.
@@Jef_Jingles I find NXT more enjoyable than both Raw and Smackdown. Admittedly, Raw has been getting better
As someone who grew up in the attitude era, cherished the ruthless aggression era and despised PG, Triple H has created something special. Idk what to call this but its great entertainment frfr
Zayn turning on roman
Zayn's montreal homecoming
Cody's run to mania
Roman retains at mania
CM Punk's return at Collision
Jey turning on the bloodline
Seth's run as world champion
LA Knight's rise to superstardom
Edge's debut in AEW
Randy Orton's return at Survivor Series
CM Punk's return in WWE.
What a year of wrestling for me.
FACTS.
Special mentions to AEW signing Will Ospreay and WWE signing Jade Cargill
2022/23 has been the best year then the last 5 years of wwe and I love that I watch
Let's be honest The best part of the Bloodline storyline was the Sami uso part.
Rock return also makes the cut
Petition to call Post-Covid Era as "The Renaissance Era"
W
Looks like you got your wish
Oooh i like that, thats a good idea
triple H era
@@Shoegazebasedgenre0. Boooring
2022 - 2023 will be an amazing 2 years to remember. Austin returned at Wrestlemania 38, The Rock returned, Roman Reigns holding a title for 1000 days, Cody Rhodes returning to WWE after leaving AEW, Vince McMahon retiring after thinking he will never leave, MJF pipebomb on AEW and finally winning the world championship, AEW having the largest PPV in history, big signings and lastly CM Punk returning to WWE after getting fired from AEW and almost a decade away from the company. Gotta love Wrestling
Roman holding a title for more than 1000 days is the worst decision 👎🏻👎🏻
@@milanpun6412finally someone I can agree with
@@milanpun6412but not from a bussiness point of view
@@milanpun6412it isn't worse ok it is one of the best that's why he is the champion its good for business point of view as he brings more audience in bigger ppvs and its good for cody's redemption arc story
It’s sad that the 2 headliners for these 2 years are 2 famous old guys coming back for one night
“The man, the myth, the senile psychopath.”
I laughed way too hard at that, largely due to how true it is.
Don't forget Controversy Machine PUNK
We gotta give credit to HHH, For giving us back to back incredible years. There have been some questionable decisions, Yes that's true but the good heavily outclassed the bad. He atleast makes the product interesting to watch and has something to offer everyweek, He gave us so many moments, So many incredible matches and storyline in the span of 2 years.
If only he created more characters.....
@@theharv1490if it were easy it would’ve been done
@@marleytaylor7141exactly, he still had to undue the mess vince left him
😅 I'm assuming that's all sarcasm.
@@francoispitt What mess?
I'm a WWE guy, but I appreciate AEW for its existence. Without AEW, half of these craziness would never happen. AEW competing against WWE really makes wrestling fun again
To get to see Stone Cold, The Rock, Randy Orton, CM Punk and finally Cody Rhodes AND the Goat R truth make there return is incredible. Also Santos Escobar cutting the best heel promo of the year was so sick
I'm so glad we're starting to see the real Santos. He's been underutilized for too long now
When did the rock come
@@TrippieFox2 months ago on smackdown, met backstage with Cena during the actors strike.
@@vonosimplecore22 nah man leave cena alone superkick studios is trash he be disrespectful to much
Having 1 spontaneous match is not returning.
The Triple H Era has been crazy. But Wrestlemania 40 season is about to be even more insane. Bc we could possibly have John Cena, Sasha Banks, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill, The Rock, Stone Cold, Randy Orton, Aj Lee, Cody Rhodes, Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, Rhea Ripley, & CM Punk all at the same Wrestlemania!!!
the rock scrapped😞😞😞😞
@@AliFrankTheTankWhy?
@@Red_dead_Redemption_4_Life Roman Cody 2. Strike ended
In my opinion, 2023 may be the first year in forever without an outright *BAD* WWE PPV/PLE.
You could call some mediocre or just decent, but I really can't think of a real *bad* show.
This. WWE ples in 2023 have been gold
Yep, on overall level , 2014 might be the last year where wrestling was this OVER.
And on overall PPV/PLE consistency, you probably have to go back to at least 2008 to even begin to compare.
@@khaitranngoc4176 I feel like 2016 was the last year that was this amazing, but it definitely had one or two bad ppvs.
The uptick in buying DVDs again for me since Summerslam 2022 proves this.
Banger after banger, worth owning.
Many years only had Mania and Summerslam, sadly.
@@kingvampstan nah 2016 wrestlemania was ass, and i think that is itself enough to ruin the year
Honestly, this just proves that Triple H is better at booking than Vince McMahon. Yes, McMahon was good during the Attitude and Ruthless Agresssion era. Vince's booking went downhill during the PG era and hasn't been that great since. Triple H's matches have been better in recent years compared to old matches.
Half it was vince still dumbass
WWE still suck.
@@jalilcook5113 here's your cookie🍪
The PG Era begins (official name by WWE is Universe Era) in 2008 until WrestleMania XXX, the real downhill begun on The New Era (2016-2020).
Before that, a huge moments and storylines, take place with Vince, like the full 4 years storyline of The Undertaker at WrestleMania with HHH and HBK, the shield, John Cena vs The Rock, The Shield, CM Punk WWE Title reign, the beggining of the women's revolution, etc.
The last great storyline he made is the Bloodline. From 2020, from mid 2022, the story was Booked by Vince and Michael Hayes.
His last great PPV, WrestleMania 38.
And Austin Theory his last creation, until HHH stop and ruin it.
HHH is not better than Vince, he have some very bad decisions, he's just more open and modern.
@@k_np04all arbitrary.
All of this kickstarted with Cody returning. Insane.
And Roman getting Covid which caused a seismic shift in WWE
@@theharv1490 or we can say that the Covid pandemic just changed WWE in general.
@@burhan.k.r.n1164agreed I don’t think this era would’ve been this great if the pandemic/thunderdome era never happened
I swear we’ve only had 3 years in this decade, but these have been some of the craziest years in wrestling history. I never would’ve thought my love for wrestling would increase tenfold with all the crazy mind f*ckery that occurred. I really wish I can replay it all, as I truly think this is the best era we’ve had in YEARS. HHH truly is the best thing that has happened to WWE in decades, and everything he’s done truly stands out. Whether it be the constantly great PPV quality since SummerSlam 2022, listening to us fans, and of course giving us legendary moments left and right. And while AEW may not be the best right now, I enjoyed them a lot throughout these years as well. You summed up everything perfectly dude, and this is definitely your best video yet. My 3 personal highlights for this year alone although I loved it all, was attending my first ever WrestleMania this year in my home😌, attending AEW Full Gear 2023 in my home for my birthday🥲, and of course watching Survivor Series 2023 with my family, and witnessing the damn impossible. The return of CM Punk to WWE. God I’ll forever love this year!😭
I can’t wait for 2024 now😁.
Wrestling this year was insane can't wait to see what 2024 or 2025 going to be
Triple H adding the War Games stipulation to Survivor Series was one of the best things that happened in WWE in last 10 years. Bc before that, that PLE was so dead and had completely lost its "Big 4" feel.
The 2023 Survivor Series WarGames was the best WWE PLE this year
I strongly disagree. War Games now has the same problem that eventually killed Hell in a Cell's aura - the yearly pay per view for blood feud matches has never worked.
@@mr.iiconic were only getting the match once a year and it's meaningful. Whereas Vince was throwing a HIAC match together bc of the show.
@@ruffin207 and these war games feuds just happen to form at the exact same time as the shoe being built. That's LITERALLY being thrown together because of the show, even if it's done better. Plus, there's 2 War Games matches a year, one for women and one for men.
War Game's should be kept special and saved for when it's needed. Survivor Series was not the best PPV but to say it's dead is funny when people talk about how great Forbidden Door is.
@@mr.iiconic the last 4 war games matches were built very well & not thrown together. Especially last year's matches. And it is being used & treated as an special occasion. It only happens once a year & used properly.
As an AEW mark, Hunter's been doing a GREAT job recovering the pieces of McMahan's misdeeds from his booking and plenty more. It's beautiful to see a company like WWE who i've been a fan of since i was a kid and didn't give up on them even with everything going against them.
2022 would always hold a special place in my heart since I went to my first WrestleMania and saw Cody Rhodes and Steve Austin return in the same night and gave us an amazing performance that night in Texas. The crowd was electric during their matches.
Lucky
These last 2 years have been special. Legends returning, amazing matches, the birth of future superstars, and moments forever etched in history. I never would've thought Stone Cold would wrestle another match, Cody would return to WWE, and Randy would ever wrestle again and yet here we are where all of that has happened and more.
That DAY 1 ppv shocked me to the core . I slept knowing that Brock vs roman is for the universal title . I woke up at 5 am finding Brock holding the WWE title . I thought I was still dreaming 😂
I still think calling this era the "Game Era" would be awesome, not just because of the HHH of it all but also due to WarGames being a staple of the era as well as the feud between WWE and AEW being more of a game than a war.
I like the idea behind but the name doesn’t hit. I’ll call this the Renaissance Era
Dude no y’all need to chill and stop these fake name calls it’s the pg era still
@@JL1goat bro the pg era ended in 2016
By the way, ever since Superkick Studios called it the "Renaissance Era", I think it's gonna stick in the IWC, but I kind of like it.
The Renaissance Era is the best name
The only thing I can say is
*THANK YOU HUNTER*
Honestly, These 2 years had everything. Vince retiring, Punk making his return, The greatest storyline in the modern era (Bloodline storyline) With sami zayn being the ultimate underdog and much more.
Dude your reaching this isn’t as good as you making it out to be
These two years have been Phenomenal. Huge returns, big moments, great storylines, must watch PLE/PPV's and many amazing matches were packed in this two years. Even the two years before this were mostly good. Overall, wrestling have been on absolutely FIRE and hope it stays like this for all the years to come.
WWE is the best its been since The Attitude Era and 2024 has all the potential to be their best year ever with the potential signings of women like Mercedes and Giulia + CM Punk being in WWE will make the weeklies, feuds and dream matches much more interesting and the PLEs in deifferent countries again. 👌
If HHH was able to bring back Controversy Machine Punk , then I don't see why Sasha could also return
Who is guilia?
@@Red_dead_Redemption_4_Life Giulia is a female wrestler from Stardom. One of the best female wrestlers in the world.
He needs to poach MJF for 2024. That is if MJF hasn't already resigned with AEW and just hasnt told anyone yet.
One great segment of these part years you missed was Brock raising Cody's hand at Summerslam. Though the story heading into it wasn't good, that match was just 🔥🔥
i didnt even realize how crazy it was till watching this but KO main eventing wrestlemania 2 YEARS in a row is so dope, love that for my boi.
not my biggest takeaway from the video but i think that deserves some credit! the highlights for me in the last 2 years were wyatt's return, cody's return, rock's return, the entire bloodline story, gunther's IC title reign, and the one that hit me right at home, wyatt's unfortunate passing.
Unpopular opinion: WWE in late 2022 onwards have been putting the best product they've ever done.
Yes even better than the attitude era.
I don't think its an unpopular opinion because every ppv since the summer of 2022 has being bangers.
@@tharukaepaarachchi814 Most PPVs have been bangers. There's been no outright bad PPVs this year but Royal Rumble, Payback, Fastlane and Crown Jewel were the weaker PPVs this year
@@theharv1490yeah I agree but ppvs like crown jewel , fastlane , payback and usually backlash act as filler ppv's. Backlash this year was amazing mainly because of the Puerto Rico crowd.
Yeah I 100% agree. Attitude Era is so overrated to me
These last two years of wrestling have been stacked. 2024 is only gonna get better. Can't wait to see what HHH cooks up.
No, Punks back. This is PEAK
This is the redemption arc of wrestling. Somehow someway, 2020 was a blessing in disguise.
Even at the worse of times everything changed and thank God it did ✊
craziest moment from these years?
Punk returning to WWE and Vince retiring
Punk and rock return
Punk
Cody's return. The recency bias has made us forget how special it was.
Cena, Rock, and Punk returning in the spand of 4 months
The whole butterfly effect with Roman getting covid..damn I never thought it like that . Crazy man.
I know i never heard anything that Brock was supposed to beat Roman, was like what!!! 🤯
Man, your last few lines shed a tear on my eyes. I genuinely felt 10 years younger. Thank you brother!
6:50 If Roman never got Covid, Big E wouldn't be injured and probably still wrestling, the World Heavyweight title probably wouldn't be created and Cody may have finished his story by now. There is so much to this "butterfly" effect
so many different branches to it, it’s really wild
This all happened in an alternate universe
@@SuperkickStudios super kick studios your a joke man stop making this shit up with the renaissance era and stuff that’s not what it is. It’s been the PG era for almost a decade and you act like it ended in 2013 your crazy and you say your a cena fan liar.
@@SuperkickStudios you shit on Vince to much without him their would be no triple h without him their would be no WWE I know this shit that went on with the lawsuits and stuff but you got people acting like Vince was a joke. Smarten up man stop the lies.
We got the best finish to the story
I started watching wrestling in late 2009. So I can confidently say this is the best WWE has been since I've started watching.
35:47 Don reference is crazy love that u did it.
2022-2023 has been amazing. Look at what happened: Cody Rhodes & CM Punk returning, 2 Great Wrestlemanias, The PPVs were fun to watch, MJF Nuke promo, Brawl In & Brawl Out, Judgment Day & The Bloodline, etc. I can go on and on. What a time to be alive.
MJF and Adam Cole's bromance, Timeless Toni Storm and Christian Cage's dead father gimmick have brought me back to AEW
I remember exactly where I was when the news broke that Vince McMahon had resigned in 2022. I was at a Mexican restaurant in Florida with a friend and his girlfriend and his roommate, celebrating my college graduation. The tv in front of me was on Sportscenter, and I read the news on the ticker at the bottom of the screen and my jaw just dropped. My friend’s roommate asked me what was I reacting to and when I explained to her the situation, she responded “you know wrestling’s fake right?” I said “Bitch, I know it’s fake but the scandal is real enough to get the most important man and owner of the biggest promotion in the industry to retire even though he’s been quoted as saying he’ll only retire when he’s dead.”
India mentioned let's gooo🇮🇳🇮🇳
Bro really didn't talk about the rise of LA Knight in the entire vid
WWE is the best it’s ever been right now, can’t wait to see what will happen in 2024!
Last year so beautiful man .
But this year I can only remember 3 things .
Dirty Dom's Rise
LA'Knight Yeah
CM Punk Cult of personality .
Edge should've got that world title run. His return was EPIC and he re instated his dominance ASAP. Stone Cold coming back was insane
You also forgot Jade Cargill jumping ship, but there was truly a lot to talk about, so maybe that's why
Mid 2020-2023 was one the best wrestling years to watch and your channel really was a joy on this ride
No
Love you man! I was just talking to one of my friends and telling him "if I could find a way to catch up on everything since I've been gone I'd watch again". Then I found this in my feed. You even covered the exact amount of time I missed since watching with the piped in crowd was too weird and I quit watching for the first time in over 25 years.
37:56 bad is an overstatement, the more accurate term is underwhelming
Man! What a great recap! Really bring you all the way back through all the emotions of everything that happened!
The CM PUNK connection to SRK in Don! Damn😂 that was epic!
I'm glad I got into wrestling at the perfect time. My friend had an extra ticket to the 2022 Money in the Bank in Vegas and let me go with him. I wasn't a fan prior to the event, but it all just clicked in my head and I finally understood why people love wrestling. I've been a mark ever since and I love that everything is just getting better and better.
Id be interested in a “Nick Khan’s impact on WWE” video but idk if it falls under your usual retrospectives. I feel like he’s done a lot to restore WWE aura
Wrestling has been fantastic these past 2 years 🔥
one of the best wrestling videos i've ever seen - great stuff
Good video. I liked how you focused on the posative things for both companies.
Thanks dude for dropping the masterpiece❤
You forgot about the most important thing… Dom getting released from prison!!! 😂
I Had A Lot Fun Watching Wrestling In 2022-2023. It's Amazing To Be A Wrestling Fan This Time. Im Expecting Some Crazy Shi In 2024 Too. 💯
No
This is really well made, well edited and a fair account of what went on in 2022/23, and what a couple of years they were. The sleeping giant, WWE, held back for so long by McMahon was unleashed.
Watching this in mid-February 2024, and it’s mental how the first two months of this year have already topped all the events in this video in terms of absolute absurdity: the whole Rock, Cody and Roman fiasco going from it’s so over to we’re back every other minute, and of course the horrific sexual abuse allegations against Vince and the WWE that could lead to a massive restructuring at the top.
idk why or how but this guy's commentary is damn entertaining
40:07 that was my first live Smackdown... there are no words to explain that moment.
I know Roman's been scarce since Summerslam, but everything prior to that this year may have honestly been him at his very best, and the Bloodline as a whole.
Cody Rhodes has been the most consistent star, imo. He's a big highlight all throughout the year. He already feels like a top guy, the biggest babyface, yet he hasn't won a world title yet meaning he can still go far higher. Sami Zayn, Jey Uso, LA Knight, Rhea Ripley, Dominick Mysterio, Gunther... what a damn roster. I can't freaking wait for the road to Wrestlemania.
I can't believe that I watched a 50min video which is all about wrestling, nice video bro and keep making this kind of videos.
Man I love Wrestling!!!! And another banger from this guy toooooo......
Bhai Video bohot aacha tha . Love from India
This wrestling boom hit us and we ain even know it . we thought bullet club was peek , but it just kept going up .
I was at the Smackdown where Jimmy and Jey turned on Roman and I’m sure it was fire watching it happen on tv, but seeing it live, and it being my first live event, it was crazy. It honestly felt like the entire arena was vibrating, and it probably was, from the crowd’s reaction. Really glad I got back into wrestling and I’m so glad that I was there in person for such an iconic moment that is and will continue to be mentioned for a long time.
i saw an ad on twitter for Sammy vs Cody in the ladder match in January of 2022. That match and ad got me back into wrestling after at least 6 years. Very very glad i’m back into wrestling and more into it then i ever was.
Very good video man, everything spot on!
That Sharukh Khan Cm punk nod was out of nowhere lol
Wooah everything is fine but that Shah rukh khan reference caught me off guard. I was cooking and wasn't paying attention but your keyword game is strong bro. Kudos to you
Amazing video! It’s been wild!
Just found the channel. Love the content. I was at Mania 2022 and I can say the hype building up around Cody’s return was so fucking real.
Between hearing “wrestling has more than one royal family”, and as a born and raised Texan hearing that glass shatter, I thought I was gonna die.
The Past Two Years Have Been
Simply Incredible To Watch
I'm Hoping It Continues In 2024
I'm Here For It
Wrestling Is Back Indeed
I started watching wrestling at the beginning of ‘22 at the behest of a few friends who are long time fans. Safe to say I entered at a good time. It really feels like these years are going to be known as a wrestling renaissance; from AEW’s inception to WWE firing on all cylinders again, and even the relative growth of brands like NJPW and Impact/TNA, there’s so much good wrestling out there now no matter your taste and it seems like audience exposure is only growing. Excited to see what 2024 brings!
Bro I really love your channel its been like that for a while😂🎉😊😅
2023 has been the best year for me as a WWE fan since I was 11. That 11 year old me wouldn’t believe that I was at the show in 2023 where THE ROCK returned.
Rip bray wyatt 😢
The pandemic was indeed
Blessing is disguise for us
Atleast it brought Wrestling back to life
Enjoy the HHH era guys
Things are only gonna go uphill from here
Long as Hunters health persist
I caught that smokin aces thumbnail reference 👍 nice touch
This is the first full year I’ve been into wrestling full blown and it’s been great. Learning so much and being invested in so many stories. Going to all in at Wembley was incredible and I’ll always remember it. I honestly can’t wait for the next year of wrestling, it’s gonna be great. Especially when roderick strong is revealed as the devil lol
Great video! Gained a subscriber. Keep up the great work!
You’re literally a 🐐💯🔥🔥😭
Masterpiece Video🙏
this video is juicier than star burst candy
35:48 great reference of srk bro.😂
Crazy I haven’t felt this excited about wrestling in a long time
Another superkickstudios video is everything I needed
Nice video bro👍🏻🔥
Definitely man! Eversince COVID ended,wrestling received the leverage it needed and now is standing at one of the highest highs it has ever been!!
Over all, WHAT A TIME to be a wrestling fan!!!!
These 2 years have been phenomenal for WWE.
Great video
Tony Khan firing CM Punk because he felt his safety was danger made me laugh more that it should have 😂
I love the sound of *“The Renaissance era”*
I hope it sticks
35:48 the way you quoted SRK!!!!
Awesome video!
Really well done.
Just started my shift
Perfect to listen too while I work
