Adam, you have no idea how much we appreciate you and all the pain you put yourself through to ensure we all have a proper education in the complete stupidity of WWE. Thank you.
I actually went to that glass shards arm wrestling Smackdown show. On local TV, it was promoted that there was gonna be a WWE Championship match between Triple H and Edge. You could imagine the disappointment my 10 year old self felt when it was an arm wrestling competition for the main event.
Strictly speaking WWE did do an Over the Top, Off with the Top Match twice, albeit under a different name. The December 20th 1999 Raw had Val Venis vs Hardcore Holly with B.B. and Terri respectively in the first ever Holiday Topless Top-Rope Match. Truly, a classic for the ages.
Triple H vs. Kevin Nash... In a Ladder Match... except you didn't win by climbing the ladder. You climb the ladder to get the sledgehammer, which you can then use on your opponent. Miraculously, no quads were torn.
does anyone remember the championship scramble matches? the ones when punks first WHC run was ruined? I thought that was a great gimmick match idea, shame it never came back.
Championship scrambles were awesome. Were basically the same as the hardcore time limit matches from Smackdown Here Comes The Pain video game. No idea why they wouldn't bring that concept back
Not gonna lie, when it happened this was right before my boyfriend helped me regain an interest in wrestling so when all I heard was "Rey Mysterio lost an eye at Extreme Rules" without the context of "it was a gimmick match and the eye thing was staged" I was horrified because I all i could picture was a horrible horrible botch
Well, Zeppo was the straight man compared to Groucho, Chico, and Harpo's lunacy. He served a very important purpose for the Marx Brothers during their stage days and in their first few movies. The idea that he was "boring" probably just stems from the fact that he never had a major standout scene or bit compared to his brothers.
Fantastic comedic foil. 'Straight Man,' doesn't quite get it across; Zeppo's characters were often _overly_ straight; to the point of seeming comically dim and dull.
The amateur wrestling challenge happened twice. Swagger also wrestled Dreamer in WWE ECW in one. That one ended when Dreamer hit Swagger with a DDT causing a dq.
I remember them doing something similar with Swagger and MVP on Smackdown too, also ending in a DQ. But the rules were slightly different and they didn’t have a counter on screen for points so I just assumed they counted as different “matches” despite basically being the same
The over the top, top rope, topless match actually happened twice. BB lost the other one but HHH opened his jacket so only he could see her when she took it off.
If you want to watch some actually good "points based" wrestling matches, you need to see the two matches between Taichi and Shingo Takagi for the King of Pro-Wrestling Trophy in New Japan earlier this year. Both are "infinite pinfall" matches, i.e. you don't win on a three count, but the count adds to your total. The matches are slightly different as one is a scored match after 10 minutes and the other is a first to 30 pin-count, but both are qually brilliant in a very surprising matter. Well, surprising if not for the fact that one of the best wrestlers on the planet is involved.
Oh yeah, I watched that match. I think that was on Dominion this year. That's a really cool concept. Also, the KOPW Trophy has a lot of memorable stipulations because that's how you'll fight for the trophy; there's also a 2 pinfall match, a ridiculous sumo match, No Finisher match, etc.. Definitely one of my favorite championships to watch for me.
Dear lord that match was fun. Easily one of the most fun matches of the year. When the stipulation was announced and the first few minutes of the match had, i was expecting it to be a confusing stinker. I'm glad i was wrong. The more it went the more the fans got into it. So much the final minutes were legit edge on your seat wrestling and a great win for Shingo.
I could Taichi and Shingo have those matches until the end of time. Taichi has come on so much in the last three years. His feud with Taichi is incredible.
Shame it sucks in practice. I like Cody's approach of the top of the cage being something to jump off because it's both crazy and the most logical thing for a wrestler to do when he (or she) is on top of a cage. (P.S. I'm only saying Cody did it first because his match with Wardlow is the only one I can name, but I know it happened earlier.)
I always thought Right To Censor was funny in hindsight because their goal was to make WWE a PG product without the scantily-clad women and hardcore weapons. Technically, Right To Censor won in the end.
You are incredible Adam, been watching you for seven years now. Easy list for you, just needs a better name - 10 Worst Instances of Supernatural BS. The Hogan Fireball, The Cobra, The Bray Hologram.
I was actually there for Razor vs 1-2-3 Kid, Ted DiBiase was Kid's manager. This was the same card that had Diesel vs Brett Hart in a cage match, where Undertaker burst through the ring and pulled Diesel under. This was in Louisville, Kentucky, at the now-closed Louisville Gardens, which was filled to capacity.
This is so eerie, I was wondering to myself what the next PFK video would be about and this is exactly what I ended up with.....Adam, are you in my head??
WWE did The Over The Top Off With The Top match twice. The first was in December 1999. B.B. was in the corner of Val Venis, and Terri Runnels was in Hardcore Holly's corner. Triple H was there to get some heat. Kind of like Steven Richards did 6 months later.
Does anyone else remember the 3 stages of hell match? It was only done once, but I think it consisted of a falls count anywhere match, followed by last man standing match, and finally Hell in a Cell. I believe it was Triple H vs Austin.
"Holiday Topless Top Rope Match" was the other time Terri was involved in the "Over the Top, Off With the Top" stip with Hardcore Holly as her rep versus Barbara Bush - BB - who had Val Venus. Part of why I recall this is like with the second one, someone - this time being Triple H - spoiled the fun for the audience by blocking the final top removal.
Too bad matches named after a country, city or person that are just other stipulations renamed, don't count. *cough* Nigerian Drum Fight Samoan Street Fight Belfast Brawl Ambrose Asylum Etc. Etc. Can't be bothered to list them all.
Except the Ambrose Asylum had actual things added to it. It's not just a cage match, it's the Cage Match version of the Extreme Elimination Chamber, but without Bobby Lashley outlasting CM Punk and RVD!
I saw that Nigerian Drum Match, and I still have no idea what the point of it all was...They should have just had a Gene Krupa-Buddy Rich style drum battle and be done with it.
Yeah but gargano and Cole made that weapons cage work and was awesome to watch granted I’m probably saying this because I was in attendance for takeover Toronto in 2019 but I remember being more entertained with this than the Ambrose asylum
While not technically a match, the Austin/Bischoff “redneck triathlon” challenge was the main marketing focus for whatever ppv that was on and that was utterly ridiculous 🤣
I always thought that the anything "on a pole" matches were totally dumb. (Thanks Vince Russo.) And I know that this was WCW, but the Judy Bagwell on a Forklift match is soooooooo stupid.
The Gulf of Mexico match is actually very dangerous. As someone who has been to corpus/Galveston, the water is very, very, very green or brown. A.K.A. the exact colors you don't want your water to be. So the polluted water is the most dangerous part .
I still think that with the right competitors the Punjabi Prison match could be good. They've had Big Show, Jinder, and Khali though. That's an impossible scenario to overcome for any match type.
Did they get the broken glass arm wrestling match idea from that one episode of Star Trek: TNG where the Klingons had something similar, but with knives?
No, now it's called a "Premium Live Event." If WWE is going to give us these BS phrases we should take advantage of every opportunity to shove them back in their faces.
The eye for an eye thing... maybe just temporary blindness? Like have there be mace that has to be used. The idea of clouds of burning mist in the air adds some hazard to things, especially if there is no actual chemical it is just a harmless dye to make the performers look really damaged from the stuff getting all over them... there is something to that.
The House of Horrors match would've been better if the whole thing had stayed in the house instead of just a few minutes in the house and then later on finishing in the ring.
As wrestling in the 90's and early 2000's seemed dead set on getting more and more "extreme" with increasingly violent stipulations and weapon spots, my friends and I started wondering when someone would eventually bring a gun into a hardcore match, and dare the referee to tell them they couldn't. To my knowledge, that never happened (still think it would make for an interesting, if tasteless, angle) but I swear to god if the Empty Arena Era had lasted another 6 months I'm certain we would have finally been introduced to the 9mm On A Pole match, and I feel that history has been robbed by the fact that it didn't quite get that far.
Believe it or not, there was this one promotion called Blackcraft Wrestling (which was owned by the fashion line) that used horror movie make-up theatrics. They had a planned spot where New Jack was going to shoot PCO in the ring, only for PCO to no-sell it and defeat New Jack, but they went bankrupt before they had a chance to do it.
@@ArcherSuh4721 That's fantastic! Also, thank goodness they didn't go through with it. There is a 200% chance New Jack would have shot PCO for real lol
@@FigmentImage1 To open their PPV No Apologies, they did an actual crucifixion (they hired one of those body-modification folks who do S&M stuff to get nailed to a cross) and later in the show, their authority figure character, The Preacher (played by Doug Bradley from Hellraiser), had his throat "slashed." That promotion might've been short-lived and an abomination to traditionalists, but it sure was memorable!
Technically WCW had an Eye-for-an-eye match, spring stampede 2000, Jimmy Hart vs Mancow (radio profile from Chicago) even though they wasn't supposed to take an eye out
Adam, you have no idea how much we appreciate you and all the pain you put yourself through to ensure we all have a proper education in the complete stupidity of WWE. Thank you.

“Kill your opponent with a gun match” 😂
Sell your Opponent on the Deep Web Match.
Does the Zombie Lumberjack match count as a stipulation? If so, it must top this list. That Eye for an Eye match though...
*WWECW zombie noises*
It's technically a lumberjack match, and the zombies weren't advertised, so I guess it doesn't count.
That zombie lumberjack match was amazing

I really liked "Of course [abrupt full stop]" personally.
Triple H vs. Kevin Nash...

You climb the ladder to get the sledgehammer, which you can then use on your opponent.
Miraculously, no quads were torn.
does anyone remember the championship scramble matches? the ones when punks first WHC run was ruined? I thought that was a great gimmick match idea, shame it never came back.
they used it again at the bash 09 with the women
Ah..when Brian Kendrick was WWE Champion
yeah, but that was a actual good stipulation match that they only used once.
Ruined?? What a mark!
Championship scrambles were awesome. Were basically the same as the hardcore time limit matches from Smackdown Here Comes The Pain video game. No idea why they wouldn't bring that concept back
The House of Horros match popped me hard only for the fact that Bray's kitchen floor is the exact same style as my grandmother's kitchen floor
Man, how bizarre it was the feud between CM Punk and Chavo Guerrero in 2008. And then, Chavo lost in 8 seconds at WM 24 to Kane. *Audible Sigh*
Imagine if Rey and Seth botched the end of the Eye For An Eye Match so badly it did end up actually blinding one of them...

Glad to finally see Zeppo getting the love he deserves, although I’ll have to admit this is probably the last place I’d have expected it to happen.
Well, Zeppo was the straight man compared to Groucho, Chico, and Harpo's lunacy. He served a very important purpose for the Marx Brothers during their stage days and in their first few movies. The idea that he was "boring" probably just stems from the fact that he never had a major standout scene or bit compared to his brothers.
@@TheTrainFan9 According to Groucho, Zeppo was the funniest off screen.
Fantastic comedic foil. 'Straight Man,' doesn't quite get it across; Zeppo's characters were often _overly_ straight; to the point of seeming comically dim and dull.
Zeppo: so "unnecessary" they had to put in a Zeppo-like character in every film they did after he left the group.
@@mathewbarrie and Harpo. Harpo said Zeppo was the only one who could make Groucho laugh.
As a fan of bray and also a fan of almost all horror and heavy music related things (art in general)... That "sure, bray" killed me too.
Never forget that Hornswoggle was first introduced and billed as 'Little B*stard'
The amateur wrestling challenge happened twice. Swagger also wrestled Dreamer in WWE ECW in one. That one ended when Dreamer hit Swagger with a DDT causing a dq.

Kill your opponent with a gun match! 😂
Damn you, Adam! My sides! 😂😂😂
The over the top, top rope, topless match actually happened twice. BB lost the other one but HHH opened his jacket so only he could see her when she took it off.
WWE actually did something only once? That’s a shock sense nothing has been done only once.
Once in a lifetime

I could Taichi and Shingo have those matches until the end of time. Taichi has come on so much in the last three years. His feud with Taichi is incredible.
Another points based match that was great was actually very good was Yano vs Great-O-Khan in a KOPW title match.
The Asylum match isn't even a bad concept. Steel cage, except you climb the cage to get weapons instead of escaping. Cool.
Shame it sucks in practice. I like Cody's approach of the top of the cage being something to jump off because it's both crazy and the most logical thing for a wrestler to do when he (or she) is on top of a cage. (P.S.

I think it says it in the contract that when you enter the show biz, your dignity doesn't come with you.
WWE did The Over The Top Off With The Top match twice. The first was in December 1999.
B.B. was in the corner of Val Venis, and Terri Runnels was in Hardcore Holly's corner. Triple H was there to get some heat. Kind of like Steven Richards did 6 months later.

There's been 5 of them - the one you mentioned, then Triple H vs Shawn Michaels, Triple H vs Orton, Cena vs Ryback and Gargano vs Adam Cole.

You have got to be the funniest narrator I've ever heard lol. Love your videos!
So... the Amateur Wrestling Challenge sounds real similar to the Brawl for All......
Technically The Ambrose Asylum match would have been done thrice. Because that was the blow off to the Pete Dunn/Tony D'Angelo "feud".
Happy 35th Adam
I totally agree, that House of Horrors match was an absolute joy to behold
Wasn’t the eye for an eye match an excuse for Rey to get surgery on his lazy eye that he covered the wound by wearing an eye patch on one eye?

Yeah, it was basically a hybrid between the Barbed-Wire Steel Cage from No Way Out 2005 and the Asylum Match from Extreme Rules 2016.
There were actually 2 over the top off with the top matches lol. BB lost the other and triple h hid with his jacket . But dang nice work on this one
