Minor correction here: The idea for Austin to bleed during the WM13 match was Bret's not Vince's. Vince was highly opposed to blood at this time, and had Bret and Austin not secretly arranged this themselves behind Vince's back, this moment would not have been anywhere near as epic as it would eventually become. This one is all on Bret and Austin, not Vince.
@@lexkanyima2195 IIrc, the story goes that Bret and Austin were able to get out of any punishment by convincing Vince that Austin was busted open the hard way and not done by blading.
@Lex Kanyima Bret felt the finish would be more compelling if Austin had "colour", but Vince was trying to phase this out of his product - hence why he said he's take the heat from Vince.
this is what was frustrating about vince towards the end is the fact at his best he can create some of the best things in the industry but he was so stuck in his ways to do so more often
Imo giving Austin Theory a rapid push may turn out to indirectly be one of the best things McMahon ever did, as it's given Triple H the room to redirect that energy into a kind of redemption arc through having him lose MitB, and generally not live up to expectations. The potential beginning of this being Theory's attacks on Ziggler and Rollins.
Cody's return to WWE has been pretty good so far, with his trilogy of matches with Seth Rollins being the best part of RAW before Cody tore his pec. Roman's heel turn was not only necessary, but perfect timing considering how amazing his Tribal Chief gimmick has been thus far. Hopefully we see The American Nightmare take down the Bloodline and be the new undisputed WWE Champion at WM 39.
Yeah, if they don't book Cody to win at wrestlemania, alot of people, including myself, will lose interest in wwe. Roman reigns is a terrible champion.
@brandocalrissian3294 The selling of his and The Bloodline's merch, people raising their fingers up in the air (☝🏻) as he says "Acknowledge me!" and etc says otherwise. You're just triggered because there's no hot potato with the titles anymore, especially for your mid card favorite wrestler.
@@thelonewolf70x7 isn't Cody also one of the top merchandise seller without being the champion at this moment. No hate to Roman but him not being able to work more shows due to his health really is damaging his reign. That's In my opinion anyway.
Couple of mentions, Chris Jericho turning heel in 2008 and CM Punk in 2009. Lead to the best fued of 2008 between him and Shawn Michael's and the best fued of 2009 between Jeff Hardy and CM Punk
The finish to Hart/Austin where Austin was to pass out in the sharpshooter was Pat Patterson’s idea. Ofc Vince approved and it was actually Bret (and Steve) idea to add the blood, which was without Vince’s approval
Cody smashing that throne in retrospect was the greatest move of his career. Whether he meant it or not, this was such good business, including for Triple H and WWE. At that precise moment in time, the biggest heel in AEW was Triple H. It was an incredible, unbelievable rub, great for Cody, great for WWE, great for AEW, and great for the fans, of all loyalties. It was just great business.
@@Chocolatepain Cody gave WWE, specifically Triple H the rub - he put them over as heels, hard. Because to get his gimmick over, he had to treat them as such. He ‘made’ them as the defining, ultimate bad guys for AEW’s crowd, which made him, in that moment, the ultimate white hot baby face. It really was a brilliant move.

War Games existed since the 70’s. It was created in the territory days by Dusty Rhodes. Vince merely resurrected a gimmick that honestly he should have done a while ago. He has a lot of WCW and Territory pay-per-views and stipulations that he needs to suck it up and admit were great and use them instead of wasting slots with shows like Battleground and Fastlane.
Cody Rhodes returning to WWE was awesome Can't wait to see what he does next when he comes back especially with Triple H in-charge of Creative that'll be very interesting and Stacy Keibler Returning to Raw On August 12th 2002 was an amazing booking decision she's a legend the Divas Era During The Ruthless aggression era is the Greatest Era in women's wrestling Sable's Return to WWE in 2003 was amazing Her Feud with Torrie Wilson was great especially that bikini Challenge @ Judgement Day 2003.
That makes no sense whatsoever lol you have no clue who Vince likes because you don’t know him and you don’t work for him…you’re going off of dirtsheets and RUclipsrs who ALSO don’t know Vince either…stop the narrative please…VINCES favorites are Roman, Seth, Becky, Charlotte…all are the literal top 2 in both divisions
9:16 , Jay whites iteration of the bullet club was actually quite good by a lot of njpw fans standards. It was much closer to the original Prince Devit lead version of the group and gave off major old school heel vibes. I loved it personally.
Vince had nothing to do with Austin bleeding. That was all Austin Bret. Bret did turn full after this match but Austin was still doing heel promos after this match so it wasn’t right away
I would say Seth Rollins cash in is my pick for Genius booking. Essentially WWE had booked themselves into a hole as most fans didn’t want either Reigns or Lesnar to win, so the mid match cash in was a way to get the belt off both while avoiding either winning and getting the post match boos.
I have to disagree with you on one point . Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit . The match they did in memory of Owen Hart was by far the best technical match ever . For over forty five minutes these two went through every move/countermove in the playbook . When the arena goes silent because they have no clue who to root for due to the skill on display ..... you know they were doing something right . They almost crossed into the Greco-Roman stuff , which is rarely seen in this company .
You lied when talking about Cody’s return. You said there would be no polkadots in sight, well sir do you forget Seth Rollins’ ring gear at Hell In A Cell?
cody winning all three of his matches also leaves him as the strongest contender for the belt. No one else, karrion kross, kevin or drew are not believable opponents for him anymore. They have all loss to him or lost too much to others to even be a relative threat. The run ending to someone he has beat before would be a lackluster finale, it has to be cody.
I still love that they had to do tape delay for Stone Cold and The Rock because the fans still cheered them and WWE had to edit in boo’s while they were supposed to be the bad guys.
Vince Jr. did not originally sign Hogan. Hogan was signed in 1979 by Vince Sr, but lasted only an year before going to Japan. Unlike Vince Jr, with whom Hogan has always had terrible relationship, he always praised Vince Sr and had good relationship with, until Hogan's decision to appear in Rocky III, after which he had a major falling out with Vince Sr which was never resolved until the latter's death in 1983.
No..sorry it doesn’t work that way. Vince gets blamed for EVERYTHING that goes wrong with a storyline or character…so that means when something special happens, that credit goes to Vince as well..sick of this psycho narrative
Wrestling was already mainstream before Hogan was pushed. That era just made hokey childish wrestling popular. He killed territories through sabotage and guys like Crockett trying to copy his TV model instead of focusing on house shows.
You mad? Lol…who was better? Who? “Hokey childish wrestling”…what was wrestling before WWF? Please tell us since you’re a historian….what did Vince do? NOTHING!!! CAUSE HE CREATED IT!!!! AND YOU WATCHED IT AND SOENT YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON IT!!! YOU AUTOMATICALLY LOSE!
I summarily disagree with your Hulkamania assessment. Vince owes his entire national push and Terry’s “rub” to 1982 number 3 box office smash Rocky III. Vince did not do the heavy lifting, EVERYTHING was built on the back of Stallone casting Terry as Thunder Lips in his film AFTER Vince Sr. fired Terry for leaving to (smartly) take the film role. Young Vince was smart enough to ride the Stallone wave, buy WWWF, re hire Terry, package him as Hogan, partner him with Rocky III antagonist Mister T, and mortgage his home for massive pay per view. Vince wisely seeing Terry’s global success and mainstream recognition, simply took advantage of the opportunity and timing. Period.
None of that has anything to do with the fact that Vince created it and turned him into a cultural phenomenon….aka AMAZING CREATIVE BOOKING! what are THE 2 biggest moments in recent history in wrestling? Roman turning heel and Cody returning…mind you, Vince did this in the midst of him supposedly being literally sooooo out of touch and 100 years old…GOAT lmao
14:20 I agree that the decision to split the roster was necessary, but I disagree with how it was done. They never truly established “Raw” and “SmackDown” as true stand-alone brands. The brand was WWF/E. They didn’t need to make the whole “draft” thing public. Just slowly start migrating some of the roster one way, another part of the roster the other way. Split the titles evenly. Now, you’re still always operating under the WWE banner first and can float people back and forth as needed. The whole “they’re kind of exclusive but not really” thing really killed it for me.
Credit for the decision to not put the belt on Luger also has to go to...well...Luger! There was a time where he was supposed to be The Guy, but one weekend while enjoying a few too many beverages at the hotel bar, he spilled the beans that he was about to be crowned champion. Once Vince got word of this, the decision was changed, and Lex never so much as sniffed the WWE main event ever again.
It's to early to tell of Cody was a good booking decision. He had a few good matches with Seth but got injured so I'll wait a couple of years to say if it was a good idea or bad idea.
Hulk Hogan is the greatest of all time! Vince was extremely smart to put his trust in him, give him the ball and make him the top guy. Once Hulkamania was born there was no looking back. No other wrestler can say that they created not one but TWO different boom periods!
Hell if HBK rising did even more. Had he stayed a tag team wrestler, and not become a big name then we would not have gotten DX. Without DX would HHH have become who he is today. If not we may have a very different WWE right now.
Who gives a fuck? Y’all cry about WWE bringing back old people but you’re blowing sting now? Lol the bias is ridiculous…nobody is checking for Sting…who did Sting lose to? Oh HHH….the same man who has BURIED tons of talent…Sting hates HHH not Vince…and MOST guys from the attitude era do as well…you think Vince booked HHH to go over Sting @WM? Lmao I swear this HHH obsession is insane…
It's a little strange what they chose to do with Cody at WM39, but (to my surprise), Cody is still very over as the primary face of the company. I guess they will bust up the bloodline for a while before returning to Cody v. Roman
All the Rock did was turn what hewas in college football I remember an interview he did in college and he did the exact Rock character in the interview.
Rhodes coming back was not Vince’s idea. Sure he gets the decision to bring him back, but it wasn’t his idea. And I heard that Roman being a heel wasn’t Vince’s idea either.
Your giving Vince too much credit for Austin and reigns. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the Austin bandwagon. Vince likes his top babyface to be a clean cut and wholesome Boy Scout. That wasn’t Austin. As for reigns, it took six years of getting booed out arenas and a pandemic to force Vince to finally turn roman heel.
I swear y’all AEW mark’s literally don’t know wrestling or just lie for no reason…kicking and screaming? Dummy what would Roman have been if he turned heel then? By himself? He couldn’t cut a promo!!! You think he magically popped up as a legend on the mic overnight? Heyman was still with Brock….Usos weren’t ready…the MAIN reason this worked was because of the pandemic…a lot of the shit they did with Roman wouldn’t have worked in front of fans….and what? That’s how I know you don’t know wrestling…you think Steve Austin was some badass lmfao? HE WAS LITERALLY A GOLDEN BOY!!!! HE HAD BLEACH BLONDE HAIR WITH THE MILLION DOLLAR BELT!!! YOURE LITERALLY LYING ON HERE! Something is bad, it’s Vince..something is amazing, it’s the talent…STFU!!!! VINCE IS A GENIUS AND HAS MADE YOUR FAVORITE STAR FROM SCRATCH AND YOURE SICK ABOUT IT!
Every wrestling fan needs to say Thank You Vince for years of great wrestling entertainment even though there was probably more not so great or even good.
Roman regins: “I’m the hardest worker in wwe”! Cody Rhodeses current reseme: Whare we’re you when I beat your buddy at hell in a cell with no left pec,whare are you when I compete every week on raw and sometimes Smackdown
No Mr T = Wrestlemania would have flopped. WWE has never let a wrestler of Mr T’s demographic get a match in the Main even of Wrestlemania and that’s sad.
I think Vince gets too much credit. Lots of these “creative” decisions he made either were accidental, someone else’s idea or just a natural thing that he had no option to go with.
Many of these werent even Vince's idea, Cody Return, Bret's win at wm 10, that litteraly resulted of shit booking in wm prior, Roman heel turn, the rise of Moxley, the blood on the Austin and Bret double turn, nothing to do with him
Lmao why do y’all continue to get on here and flat out lie? Cody’s return wasn’t Vince’s idea? He literally flew to Cody…Cody left BECAUSE OF HHH!!!! THE FUCK? Who’s idea was it then? Romans heel turn wasnt? So wait…EVERYTHING awful that happens is because of Vince, but when amazing shit happens, it isn’t vince? Do you not see how that hate obsession has you looking out here? Get help, brother. Seriously. Going out of your way to hate a complete stranger who doesn’t know you exist is NEXT LEVEL mental illness
I think to making the fall of the Tribal Chief. Zayn should win the rumble and face him on night 1 or 2 and win a title. And then have Rhodes face him for the other belt and win that one too

2002-2007 Smackdown was so 🔥🔥
I did hate cena’s rapping gimmick……which ironically one of his raps was the first time I liked the style.
8:13 Spoiler, he did.
The entire Daniel Bryan vs The Authority story
Dolph’s cash in
Batista turning on HHH
The end of HBKs career when he was obsessed with the streak
Stone Cold Steve Austin AKA Bad News White!
It's a little strange what they chose to do with Cody at WM39, but (to my surprise), Cody is still very over as the primary face of the company. I guess they will bust up the bloodline for a while before returning to Cody v. Roman
Is there a significant reason or is it a coincidence that The Shield debuted and broke up in Indiana?
All the Rock did was turn what hewas in college football I remember an interview he did in college and he did the exact Rock character in the interview.
Rhodes coming back was not Vince’s idea. Sure he gets the decision to bring him back, but it wasn’t his idea.
And I heard that Roman being a heel wasn’t Vince’s idea either.
How are you able to these videos without copyright issues?
"Finally be the one to dethrone Roman Reigns."
...yeah...about that chief...
Your giving Vince too much credit for Austin and reigns. He had to be dragged kicking and screaming to the Austin bandwagon. Vince likes his top babyface to be a clean cut and wholesome Boy Scout. That wasn’t Austin.
As for reigns, it took six years of getting booed out arenas and a pandemic to force Vince to finally turn roman heel.
How? He simply acknowledged Vince making the right call
I swear y’all AEW mark’s literally don’t know wrestling or just lie for no reason…kicking and screaming? Dummy what would Roman have been if he turned heel then? By himself? He couldn’t cut a promo!!! You think he magically popped up as a legend on the mic overnight? Heyman was still with Brock….Usos weren’t ready…the MAIN reason this worked was because of the pandemic…a lot of the shit they did with Roman wouldn’t have worked in front of fans….and what? That’s how I know you don’t know wrestling…you think Steve Austin was some badass lmfao? HE WAS LITERALLY A GOLDEN BOY!!!! HE HAD BLEACH BLONDE HAIR WITH THE MILLION DOLLAR BELT!!! YOURE LITERALLY LYING ON HERE! Something is bad, it’s Vince..something is amazing, it’s the talent…STFU!!!! VINCE IS A GENIUS AND HAS MADE YOUR FAVORITE STAR FROM SCRATCH AND YOURE SICK ABOUT IT!
A better title would be “booking decisions Vince approved.” No way for us to know who initiated most of these ideas.
Brand split was The Rock running Smackdowm and Steve running Raw
The future looks good for Rhea and Dom.
Vince looks like he's about to offer me a deal I can't refuse
Every wrestling fan needs to say Thank You Vince for years of great wrestling entertainment even though there was probably more not so great or even good.
Roman regins: “I’m the hardest worker in wwe”!
Cody Rhodeses current reseme: Whare we’re you when I beat your buddy at hell in a cell with no left pec,whare are you when I compete every week on raw and sometimes Smackdown
"The cream always rises to the top!"
We really deserved a Bret Hart vs Lex Luger face vs face feud for the title, with Bret ultimately going over.
Janetty tried to dive to escape
5:25 this year? I thought it was 2 yrs ago
Austin and Brett hart you almost forget that hart won because it felt like Austin won.
No Mr T = Wrestlemania would have flopped.
WWE has never let a wrestler of Mr T’s demographic get a match in the Main even of Wrestlemania and that’s sad.
That was Best thing that Vince McMahon did was Breaking up the Rockers
Vince just ok’d the ideas. He didn’t really create ANY of these. They were ideas of other people who got Vince’s thumbs up.
This was very good
Who was #7? I didn't see anyone.
Wasn't the first ever Wrestlemania in 1985?
✅
yup
Yes, but he had the idea in 1984.
@@LibraJohnny a full year plan to make it happen
I think Vince gets too much credit. Lots of these “creative” decisions he made either were accidental, someone else’s idea or just a natural thing that he had no option to go with.
Andy, I think you should change the thumbnail.
why
@@DyanLucas Roman has grown beyond stale at this point.
@@kidz4p509 So? Ain't a big deal
I love Marty jannetty ❤
Many of these werent even Vince's idea, Cody Return, Bret's win at wm 10, that litteraly resulted of shit booking in wm prior, Roman heel turn, the rise of Moxley, the blood on the Austin and Bret double turn, nothing to do with him
But he agree to be involved.
False
Lmao why do y’all continue to get on here and flat out lie? Cody’s return wasn’t Vince’s idea? He literally flew to Cody…Cody left BECAUSE OF HHH!!!! THE FUCK? Who’s idea was it then? Romans heel turn wasnt? So wait…EVERYTHING awful that happens is because of Vince, but when amazing shit happens, it isn’t vince? Do you not see how that hate obsession has you looking out here? Get help, brother. Seriously. Going out of your way to hate a complete stranger who doesn’t know you exist is NEXT LEVEL mental illness
do a shane mchman
I think to making the fall of the Tribal Chief. Zayn should win the rumble and face him on night 1 or 2 and win a title. And then have Rhodes face him for the other belt and win that one too
