Adults wIll never understand what being 8 years old watching wwf wrestling in 1990 really was like one of the greatest things of the 90's if you was a child At that time when i think back to my childhood it's one of the things that come straight to mind what a great time to be alive
Children in the 80s called.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was 8 in '95 in Canada and had raw on Mondays and nitro on Wednesdays. If you know you know
The 90s in general were just better….we were the last generation of kids that played outside and went home when the street lights came on for dinner, the snacks were better, wrestling was better in a weird way, the cartoons were better and I feel like being able to be a kid was just easier without having to constantly compare yourself to everyone else on social media. We had it good and I know people who grew up in the 89s and 70s will say those decades were better but the 90s had just enough technology to be fun without us being a slave to it.
9 in 1990
Born in 1986. Wrestling was some of my first memories. I haven't watched for 25 years, but I can't resist some sweet nostalgia!
Exactly same here
At 61, I can remember watching Hogan beat the Iron Sheik and the birth of Hulkamania
At 44 I can remember the same. Even though I was 4 years old.
Thank god you can work RUclips
42:28 Shawn Michaels was singles wrestler in the Royal Rumble for the first time in 1992, not 1994.
The fact that Madonna had a greatest hits album in 1991 is hilariously fascinating.
Simon is by far the best part of whatculture wrestling
They are all good in their own way. Simon is just more "everybodys" flavor
Simon always ends sentences by exaggerating the final word. When he's on the screen, he accompanies that exaggeration with facial distortions as well.
I have no problems with it, but It's normally distracting to me. Lol
He's just not a nerd.
He's annoying as f what you on about
Were you here when everyone hated Simon years back?
Loved WWE in the 90s, they used to hold shows in nightclubs and bars and even took the street fights to the actual NYC streets. I remember a crowd at Penn Station watching Undertaker tombstone a guy as I took the subway home from school
That guy he tombstones was triple h lol
@@smurfitoo1585 YES it was. How far we've come boy.
It wasn't WWE then. It's WWF.
Shawn v Triple H v Benoit 🏆
This is the era I grew up on. I loved this!
Happy Mother's to all the Moms, today is my first Mother's day without my Mom.
Sending ❤
I'm sorry. ❤❤❤❤
it was mine too buddy, wishing you well❤️❤️
Bless your heart ❤️. The first one is a tough one. This year marked my eighth without my momma. I actually felt kinda "guilty" because this year I didn't cry.
Love and prayers sent, friend ❤
Why do we care? Video is about wrestling.
52:24 loved 95 as a year, I was 14yrs old and 95 was a good year for me. I preferred 98 (done my GCSE’s in 98 then went college after) and 99 they were great years to be alive
the curtain call wasnt a mandela effect at all... It was never him getting squashed by warrior, him not winning the 96 king of the ring was his punishment...
And the Hog Pen match, with Henry Godwin
I didn't even know as a kid i was watching wcw. I thought it was all wwf
I always thought Shawn Micheals got a Bum rap for accidently kicking Maerty jennety through the window. Shawn saw a Bee and was trying to save Marty from being stung by it. Marty spazzed out after being stung and threw himself through the window. Maybe...
Oh we all know Marty jumped through the window to escape on an act of cowardice
@1:55 Douglas looking like... Yeah!!! I GOT your BOY TOY 🪀🧸🕺🏻🕺🏼
Here is a Mania match:
Stone Cold vs Undertaker. That would have been THE all time match
Simon is by far the best part of whatculture wrestling!!!
Another fascinating fact of the 90s - Dave Meltzer wasn’t the only wrestling journalist.
You have to watch matches without your modern day lenses. You cant judge a match based on today. If it werent for the early day wrestlers, todays wrestling wouldnt exist. They paved the way. If you watch bret vs shawn today, sure, it doesnt seem great. But for the time it was amazing. Keep in mind we were coming right out of the era where the marquee matches were like Ultimate Warrior vs. Hulk Hogan or Greg Valentine vs. Harley Race. It was a HUGE DIFFERENCE.
I agree with you but you're expecting too much from a trash wrestling channel that goes out of its way to appeal to the lowest common denominator
3:00 Corey Graves needs to listen to Jesse Ventura on how to be a HEEL commentator and justifying heel actions because he sucks at it…I don’t know how many times I’ve listened to Graves and thought Jesse would justify that not condemn it.
Yall just made your best show ever
Vince is sick in the head..😂
Oh cool, 1:35:51
I always liked this picture of Shawn Michaels, I think the way hos pyro made those smoke rings is neat. I don't exactly like the bandana like that on him but the rest is classic.
😄👍
Thought getting 100 Simon facts
Sting vs Shawn Michaels is the one I would’ve went crazy over as a kid 🤦🏽♂️
Luger wasn't injured when he signed with Vince's bodybuilding promotion. It was a way around his non-compete clause.
1:04:52 We who were watching WWF at that time loved the Iron Man match. And if you weren't watching WWF at that time you don't understand and you never will.
Another fantastic video 🎉
I Mean Mankind debuted in 96 so there was a bit of the attiude era there.
The early 90’s of the WWE was okay, the mid 90’s were terrible and the late 90’s during the Attitude Era that’s when WWE was great!
2:55 we need a fully comprehensive video on all the ways hulk hogan has held the industry back over the last 40+ years.
Jesse and mcmahon on commentary was so funny. They argued like an old married couple
I was at the Oakland Coliseum for the Hogan/Flair match
No no no. 54:55
Jarrett was absolutely Not "on fire at the time". That angle sucked, nobody cared or liked it back then. It's only possible to enjoy now because it's no longer expected to be taken seriously like it was back then, but I promise nobody cared about Double J during that point in time.
Fun video though 😄👍
Nobody ever cared about JJ
Of course that Phil Collins match was gonna be a mess.You've got a guy in there with no training, no skills, no ring IQ, and no passion for the business.
And his opponent is Phii Collins.
Vince didn't pin the US justice system 1-2-3, he kicked out at 2 and a half. They were trying to pin him.
Then Vince used Diesel to ruin the illusion of wrestling. Bret Hart just spent a year defending against the pesky, determined Bob Backlund, eventually losing in peak drama.
Of course we know how quickly and easily it transitioned to Diesel.. and stayed on him for a year of boring stories.
Vince must have been living his untouchable status vicariously thru Big D... And it almost cost him the company
Goodness was splashed across the screen 😂😂😂 Simon dont miss
I graduated high school in 1994. Gareth makin' me feel old.
Bret hitman hart got me into wrestling i was hooked after summerslam 91 with his match against Mr perfect for the wwf intercontinental title, i watched wwf before that but never believed in Hulk hogan although i loved watching machoman randy savage as a heel his style was real and genuine just like Bret hitman hart his matches spoke for themselves and love the fact that machoman got everyone in the ring for brets wrestlemania 10 wwf title win
I find it absolutely hilarious that Vincent Kennedy McMahon had never seen Scarface despite the fact that t he Razor Ramon gimmick aped the whole aura and lifestyle so closely. Only Vince... so glad he's gone.
Massive respect to Kurt Henning that's why he's perfect!!
When warrior was asked to fight Phil Collins, warrior stated he didn’t need to think twice 😂😂
HHH vs. Rock should have Headlined WrestleMania 2000 (16). I am a huge Helmsley fan, and seeing him retain at Mania was cool and all, but the Backlash 2000 main event should have been the Mania Main event. But I guess Austin wasnt ready until April, so they did what they did. IF the Mania main event goes down the same way Backlash did, it would be remembered as one of the greatest main events in Mania history.
I was in 7th grade. Wrestlemania 7 seemed awesome at the time with like 13-14 matches, but today I think 4-5 of them could have been dropped.
8:52 don't you love the way leather feels against your body?
1000 horrible things WWE has done to wrestling
My favorite Shawn Michaels match was the one he had against your mom
Even Phil Collins carried warrior through a match
Yes I did, was old school for the WWF
Seeing all the guys pop up at bottom right at beginning of each section…so much baldness 😂. I’m bald too it’s nice to know I’m in good company 😂
11:07 That's still more than twice the Oakland A's average attendance at the Coliseum in 2024.
I haven’t watched What culture in a while. What the heck is going on with Simon’s cadence and inflection?! 😖
Imagine if the gobbledy gooker made a return. I bet he'd get a pop
54:05 At first, I understood "mars men" and thought, "Okay, that is really stupid"
27:20 Lex Couldn't wrestle because of a no compete clause in his WCW contract. So he could body build then he had the motorcycle accident
Have to laugh at the new generation ad having piper in it you know who was in the Hogan era
HOW DARE YOU SPEAK BAD ABOUT THE BUSHWACKERS!!! SHAME ON YOU!
loved the mankind pop when he beat the rock
Personally, I think with the proper build, angles, and minds at work... Flair and Hogan could've drawn for them. Maybe not like hogan and andre did, but I think it could've worked back then 💯
Oh man, 1:40:22
Mark Curtis = best ref ever, long live the finger guns 👉👆
😄👍
Sting vs Undertaker at
WrestleMania 18.
Never would be a character like thr revision one
18 minutes ago kinda crazy
How? Y’all find anyway to say crazy because it’s trendy .. high key corny
Pop band Genesis? Hmmmm…. Prog band Genesis…
Bill Walton, Celtics Champs 🤔
Phil Collin’s wrestling still better than anything Cody Rhodes has done
BRET will ALWAYS be BIGGER than Shawn...😢1992 Survior Series (TAP..TAP)
Cool! I was the 1000th like. It flepped from 999 to 1k. That was neat haha
Wwf was fantastic back in the day
33:40 can’t really blame Yoko
Best triple threat match of all time has got to be wrestlemania 20 World heavyweight championship triple threat match champion triple h vs Chris benoit vs Hbk Shawn Micheals
Saw hogan vs flair I think when I was 16 at the selland arena in Fresno. Was in the 4th row and remember flair pointing directly at me which I still have no idea why. There weren’t any girls around me so it was definitely me lol.
I still regret never going to the first few royal rumbles. They were always there that I remember but seems like a small arena for that big of a match even tho it was t as big as it is now
Edit: looked it up selland arena only has down as 9 but I wasn’t even in the country then so it must have been announced as but not the televised version. I know I was in my teens so it was a new show
Listening to simon at half speed is trippy as all hell....especially on shrooms.....
He sounds drunk lmao
Beefcake beating perfect how did WE choose?
Anyone else just stop watching after Simon Millar finished his part?
I’m wondering whhhhhy…Simon has suddennnnly decide-d…to change…….his delivery.
It's incredibly weird and I can barely stand to listen to him now. Weird inflections and sounding like Forrest Gump have come into his speech. I normally have to turn him off straight away nowadays.
Who recalls what? Im not even top 5 of my wrestling high school friends..
One of these commentators is much easier to listen to, especially when they are non-preachy
Why does simon drag his last word's. Suuuuuuuuure hes top of thr carrrrrrrrrdd
But he dperatred toooooooooooo
In stage legffffffffgtttt
I think me and your mom should have had a go at WrestleMania
The WWF was hurting 15 yrs old boys Ring boy scandal
1992 rumble was for the belt
Gillberg vs. John Cena with Gillberg winning should have been the main event of Wrestlemania 30, not that vanilla little person Bryan Danielson.....I said what I said
Op doesn’t realize meltzer has a reputation for being continuously incorrect. Yikes. Do some research before publishing.
I kinda wish any one of these guys would've fought Dan The Beast Severn and his Mustache. I dont really know why.. I dont have a problem with wrastlin being scripted. Just cause it's scripted does NOT make it fake. Shytes very real and can cause very real and dangerous injuries. I guess I felt like referencing someone vaguely from this timeline. Carry on, nearly 40 years old source lol...
I love this channel ❤️ All you gents telling me to have a good day ❤ You have a great day! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
WWE Attitude = ECW
Austin vs Hogan
My favorite triple threat match was the one I had between your mom and sister
Brutus another one infact the characters of old will never be recreated no matter how hard they try john cina wasnt nothing but the hulk hogan of are era honestly john cina represented all the good guys of are era lol maybe he did that on purpose
My era
1990* not the 1990s
Dayton Ohio Hara arena Rick flares name was announced and it blew the roof off the place. Hogan came out to the same crowd. The match wasn’t bad hogan didn’t want to do the job flare didn’t want to do the job. It was 10-15 minutes one of them was counted out
Bro. The dude who did the 96 segment needs to chill on his barely relatable and incredibly long winded examples. He gets so far off topic I forget what the actual topic is.
1:21:40 Los Bear-wa-koo-wuz... Lol it's Loss Bore-we-kwuz... Lol
They were better then Madonna
I'm glad I get to re-use an old joke. In 1993, The Undertaker was an American, before he became a Badass... ok, I'll see myself out
Are u Simon whistler
Wild
Aww simon youre a meer young pup im much older than you 😂😂😂😂😂
