It was that moment where Hogan’s babyface schtick has grown tired because Hogan wins every match and his reputation was on the line due to his steroid abuse accusations and his infamous appearance on the Arsenio Hall Show cooled off his character.
Fun fact, Sting’s TNA run was actually mentioned on WWE tv… if you were watching the Spanish broadcasts. I’m not sure if it was ever brought up on the weekly shows but they definitely talked about TNA during his Mania match.
And the fact Sting and The nWo black and white were never friends making the DX vs nWo absolutely positively pointless just to feed Vince’s ego rather then give the fans what they want Sting vs Taker.
@@elmaster27428By that time they were both on their way out then Sting suffered the buckle bomb from Seth and he ultimately had to “Retire” then shows up in AEW basically knocking himself out and not in the best shape since Father Time took over Back in their younger year it might’ve worked but sting chose to go to TNA then by the time he came to WWE Taker was a part timer only wrestling at certain events Honestly fans don’t really don’t know what they want since they’re all over the place plus they tend to get upset even when they get what they want
It wwf fault. They spoiled him to the point he became a entitled brat think he should always get his his way. Hogan not clueless either. He knew his days as the top wrestler was over and didn't like it one bit. Wwf would put up whit him for one more year until moving on whit the new generation whit out him.

You guys left out the infamous Cena sucks chants. Cena was their top babyface and the WWE would constantly pipe in "Lets go Cena" chants in arenas that were full of fans that hated Big John. The fans were so adamant about not liking Cena that their sheer determination to be heard forced Cena to acknowledge the fans by saying that whether you like him or hate him that he is thankful for the reaction.
The Let's Go Cena chants wasn't piped in, they were weak so they needed to louden it. . One of the sure piped in chants was the Cena Sucks chant on WM 22 against Triple H. I bet you know the real profane chant there.
All I know is I happen to like the Let's go, Cena! + Cena sucks! chant. The episode where it started, Cena looked so natural getting the audience to participate. Cena: Okay, I want all the women and children to go "Let's go, Cena!" And all the men to go "Cena sucks!"
I remember the Raw Supershow I attended was like this. Zach Ryder/Matt Cardona was the most over and loudest pop, but apparently folks watching never heard the “We want Ryder” chants and the pop wasn’t as loud.
Let's not get carried away... He was cheered for a bit only for coming to Randy Savages aide and helping Hogan and Warrior win their Summerslam match. He was not getting more cheers than those 3.

@@thegoughandbordenfamily8234 Ratings of most TV programs have dropped considerably in recent years. People don't watch standard TV as much, and people have more entertainment *choices.*
I remember the first time i happened across this phenomenon... The hatching of the Gobblegooker at Survivor Series 1990. When i saw it live on tv, the fans booed. But when they showed a highlight clip on Superstars the following week, the fans were 'cheering'... 🤨 I literally had to take a minute and question what i was seeing and hearing.
I was so young back in 92 I didn't even realize people hated Hulk Hogan at this point. I was probably one of the very few that was sad he got eliminated.
Hogan was still getting good responses from the fans, but Sid was massively over with the fans by this time, even I wanted to see Sid win the Rumble instead of Hogan, so the finale of that Rumble, with Sid & Hogan practically cancelling each other out, and thereby allowing Ric Flair to get the win, wasn't totally shocking to me. Disappointing, maybe, at 1st, but Flair totally earned that Rumble win. Sid & Hogan kinda looked like fools when it was said & done. But Sid was still gaining more popularity &, yeah, you could tell at the very end of the Rumble that Hogan wasn't quite as popular after that night.
How about Summerslam 2021 when it was time for the Smackdown Women's Championship match between Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks? It wasn't until after Bianca came out that they announced that Sasha was absent. They even played the usual pre-match video package before the match. Long story short, Carmella comes out, then Becky Lynch makes a shocking return, takes out Carmella to replace her, 26-second squash, 1-2-3. WTF?
The one with Hogan and Sid remains memorable to me, as I watch the Royal Rumble live and a few weeks later, saw how the cheers turned into boos on WWE TV programming.
Not really, Sting was there from 2014-2015 for like 10 months and only wrestled like 2 legit matches, he and HHH actually had a good Wrestle Mania match. And HHH didn't bury Sting, HHH had to have help to beat Sting.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to the WWE period. And in 2016 Sting did get voted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I wouldn't exactly call that sabotage. Lastly, Sting was 55-56 years old when he was there. And honestly, he was older than dirt by then. The WWE didn't have/or need to sabotage him.
@@MS-fh4sz you are proving my point though . Plus literally every fans including Sting himself wanted to face Undertaker at WM which was the last remaining great dream match in pro wrestling but of course Vince said no for it & have Sting jobbed to Triple H so that he proved that WCW was indeed dead with having Sting being the last guy to take a defeat
@@MS-fh4sz his AEW run have more matches than his WWE run by far . Glad to see Sting reuniting with the likes of Arn Anderson , Tully Blanchard , Tony Shiavone & even Ric Flair in AEW atleast
*Oh my God words cannot describe how much I absolutely despised The Authority angle. Without question one of the most infuriating periods and most damaging storylines in WWE history. Not to mention the fact that the entire thing lasted for three goddamn years.*
In fact WWE's product in the mid 2010s (except for 2016) was in a tough spot creatively, literally the only highlights of this period was John Cena's WWE United States title reigns & the Daniel Bryan drama.
As much as I hated the authority angle, it was the storyline that really made me a fan of Seth Rollins and what he could do in and out of the ring. I probably wouldn't be as much of a fan of his now if it wasn't for how much of a chickenshit heel he was throughout that period.
Had The Authority angle only focused on Daniel Bryan's story then it would have been fine but once the story was over, there was no purpose why they were still around.
@@fro-zone2k couldn’t agree with you more because it would’ve made perfect sense if they would’ve stopped with the Daniel Bryan storyline, because after that, they slowly became boring and didn’t really have a proper direction. On top of that, they never really had a proper blow off to the entire angle.
I remember being so hyped for Survivor Series 1999. The product was on fire, you had three of the best of that era in their prime and ready to go... and it was all a lie. That felt so wrong to me, because my dad ordered it on PPV for me too. I was so pissed off.
I think what makes Roman Reigns current run as remarkable as it is now is the fact how much he struggled as a baby face . Sometimes it’s the journey is as important as the destination! Putting my ☝️ up !!
I can remember many years ago going to Raw in my hometown of Winnipeg. Naturally, Jericho's entrance blew the roof of the place, but when we got home and caught the replay of the live show there was nothing special about the reaction Jericho got. I think they didn't want the audience to focus on where the show took place. It needed to seem like it could just be anywhere to the TV audience.
The Stone Cold run over angle was great stuff, and was a genius way to cover him having real life surgery. They used it brilliantly too when he returned, and it led to a very iconic rivalry between Austin and Triple H.
@@FlixCreEightRbig deal. WWF/WWE have had wrestlers backstabbing and teaming up with the same guys for years. That's just how it works lol. Never gonna change
At the end of that 1992 Rumble, there is a close-up reaction shot of Hogan during the face down with Sid. He knows his time is up. They also had a completely different commentary from Bobby and Gorilla, with Monsoon being a lot less complimentary about Ric Flair.
It’s a lot different now getting fans to hate heels. In the 80s kayfabe was still alive so people genuinely thought the heels were evil. Today everyone knows it’s a show so when a heel is really good the fans appreciate their work and sometimes cheer them. The best example is the fact that MJF got a huge pop when he returned in Chicago with CM Punk in the ring. There is nobody in wrestling today that is as committed to kayfabe as MJF.
Probably because Wrestling at the end of the Day is a Show in which the Hero defeats the Villian. But ironically they have no idea how to book baby faces so they are like able and heels that are detested It is a shame that only “wrestler” they actually managed to attract a Heat magnet to him was Dominik. Sadly he is one of the worst wrestlers today
Yeah now there will be more cases of bringing in more Indy darlings, lack of storylines, more highspot wrestling and more pleasing the supermarks like how tony khan does with AEW. Yeah that will help bring in new fans and boost ratings
Imagine if they piped in cheers for Bret making Austin pass out at WM13, put in cheers when Bret declined Shamrock going through the ropes. Could've killed the double turn. 😅
I remember when WCW would do this with the Goldberg chants. The dumbest time this was done was in Toronto when he has cutting a promo opposite Bret Hart. The almost blew out the speakers at the ACC.
Hogan crying about the crowd booing him 😂😂😂😂 idk whos more petty him or bret hart. 2 of my favorite wrestlers back in the day showing their true colors in thier old age.
The hogan stans are the worst. They support the biggest crybaby, and this is just more proof. He didn't get the reaction he wanted, so he ran to Vince lol
Was waiting for the 1999 match, I still think about how good that would of been. I always remember HHH referring to stone cold as the immortal austin in the promo
Here's my list 10. The LA Knight Fiasco 9. The Sasha Krew 4 Life Sign 8. What Rusev Day? 7. Lol Lesnar Wins 6. Daniel Bryan's Popularity Cooldown 5. Roman Reigns's Babyface Era 4. Ignoring Sting's TNA Tenure 3. Sid Eliminates Hulk Hogan 2. Hulk Hogan Closes Wrestlemania 9 On Top 1. The 2014 Survivor Series Main Event
Don't forget the survivor series where they said every match would count but when smackdown won a match on the preshow they said it didn't count. Removing the previous statement and trying to make it look like raw won a clean sweep
I think one of the biggest pops I’ve ever heard and I know it was real. When Stone Cold Steve Austin came out to help mankind win his first WWF championship.
there was also the time vince steph hhh and shane came out to the ring to the tell the fans that they were the authority now and their voices and concerns would be heard.
One thing I would never understand is why would WWE stop a push if a person gets over organically (Ryder. Rusev, etc..). I get Vince is control freak, but i would think he would still see it would be good business. I dont get it.
Vince tried to move away from Hulk as the top guy, but Warrior failed. It's very telling that Randy won the title at WM8 yet it was Hulk and Warrior posing at the end of the show. Then Randy's reign was lackluster and short lived because he had been presented as second tier. Look at the business they did in '88 and for WM5, and clearly Savage should have been given the monster push once Hulkamania went stale.
I’m so glad sting gets to end his career on his own terms in aew because his wwe run while the best part of it was his debut at wwe survivor series 2014 in my opinion was terrible he lost his first match vs triple h at wrestlemaina 31 which was basically just vince giving the middle finger to wcw one last time and he getting injured on a buckle bomb vs seth rollins for the wwe championship at wwe night of champions 2015.
Did Sid forget he was suspended in '92 and he chose to quit? He made it sound like he went straight back to WCW because of Hogan at the Rumble, when he did WrestleMania VIII with him, and then a European tour...
Fans are what make watching prowrestling live so great. They are the most authentic thing about the product. It's ridiculous that WWE is manipulating these events. It's a changing the way people remember the show they attended. I know they have a show to make, but WWE should acknowledge the fans.
The original VHS release of Royal Rumble '92 had the original audio. Hogan got cheered when he came out, but Sid got pop when he threw Hogan out, and then Hogan got lots of boos for pulling Sid out from outside the ring and then proceeding to jump in the ring and act like a big baby after Flair was handed the belt. Sid then faced off with Hogan to chants of "Sid! Sid! Sid!" while Hogan just looked confused.
I remember a while back my best friend and I went to Raw in Pittsburgh. There was a spot with Cena where the crowd was silent. They showed a recap from before the commercial break on the titantron where Cena got this huge pop. We looked at one another and said, “that didn’t happen.”
During covid times, when the crowd would be on screens. I was able to get on a episode as part of the crowd. There was a guy talking over the live feed and would tell us to "boo" "thumbs down" or "cheer" "be happy" depending on what reaction for each wrestler they wanted to have..
Correction: one of the most frustrating things about being a wrestling fan is putting up with nonsense from a bunch of entitled hate groups that forgot how to be wrestling fans.
For the Hogan RR92 thing, on the network and alot of the home releases, it sounds like the original's audio, but there is a clip on youtube of a recap of the RR92 where it is pretty clear they piped in boos when Hogan was eliminated(vs the cheers in the real audio) and had Monsoon and Heenan re-record audio over that portion
I was at Wrestlemania 25, and before the show started, while nothing was going on, suddenly I hear cheers erupting through the entire arena... nobody was cheering.
That part about Sting is nothing new. In the 80's & early 90's WWE would always ignore a name wrestler's past that arrived in their company. WWE used to act like they were the only wrestling company in existence. When Ric Flair joined as "The Real World's Champion" They didn't mention WCW and even late announcer Gorrilla Monsoon would bury him by saying "Where did he get that belt?" and "Who did he beat to win that championship?" For example.
WWE always piped its noise for years to mute fans actual reaction . Kevin Beaver Dunn is the main behind this

Lastly, Sting was 55-56 years old when he was there.
And honestly, he was older than dirt by then. The WWE didn't have/or need to sabotage him.
@@MS-fh4sz you are proving my point though . Plus literally every fans including Sting himself wanted to face Undertaker at WM which was the last remaining great dream match in pro wrestling but of course Vince said no for it & have Sting jobbed to Triple H so that he proved that WCW was indeed dead with having Sting being the last guy to take a defeat
@@MS-fh4sz his AEW run have more matches than his WWE run by far . Glad to see Sting reuniting with the likes of Arn Anderson , Tully Blanchard , Tony Shiavone & even Ric Flair in AEW atleast
Vince *knew* everybody knew he was lying to them, and he didn't care.
Roman gets booed:
WWE edits in cheers.

Roman’s head must be spinning 😂
*Oh my God words cannot describe how much I absolutely despised The Authority angle. Without question one of the most infuriating periods and most damaging storylines in WWE history. Not to mention the fact that the entire thing lasted for three goddamn years.*
Bloodline also . Both these storyline are worst in long stretch
In fact WWE's product in the mid 2010s (except for 2016) was in a tough spot creatively, literally the only highlights of this period was John Cena's WWE United States title reigns & the Daniel Bryan drama.
As much as I hated the authority angle, it was the storyline that really made me a fan of Seth Rollins and what he could do in and out of the ring. I probably wouldn't be as much of a fan of his now if it wasn't for how much of a chickenshit heel he was throughout that period.
Had The Authority angle only focused on Daniel Bryan's story then it would have been fine but once the story was over, there was no purpose why they were still around.
@@fro-zone2k couldn’t agree with you more because it would’ve made perfect sense if they would’ve stopped with the Daniel Bryan storyline, because after that, they slowly became boring and didn’t really have a proper direction. On top of that, they never really had a proper blow off to the entire angle.
I remember being so hyped for Survivor Series 1999. The product was on fire, you had three of the best of that era in their prime and ready to go... and it was all a lie. That felt so wrong to me, because my dad ordered it on PPV for me too. I was so pissed off.
I winced every time he said narrative
I think what makes Roman Reigns current run as remarkable as it is now is the fact how much he struggled as a baby face . Sometimes it’s the journey is as important as the destination! Putting my ☝️ up !!
I can remember many years ago going to Raw in my hometown of Winnipeg. Naturally, Jericho's entrance blew the roof of the place, but when we got home and caught the replay of the live show there was nothing special about the reaction Jericho got. I think they didn't want the audience to focus on where the show took place. It needed to seem like it could just be anywhere to the TV audience.
The Stone Cold run over angle was great stuff, and was a genius way to cover him having real life surgery. They used it brilliantly too when he returned, and it led to a very iconic rivalry between Austin and Triple H.
And yet later that same year. Stone Cold turns heel and joins forces with the man. Who set him up to get run down....
Agreed!!!!!!
@@FlixCreEightRbig deal. WWF/WWE have had wrestlers backstabbing and teaming up with the same guys for years. That's just how it works lol. Never gonna change
@@FlixCreEightR He got the tittle out of that deal.
Wrestlamia should do a hot takes
WWE should understand that fans are tired of the concept of face/heel. Especially when they are done forcibly.
them not pushing daniel bryan to the moon is such a bonehead move. he's such a ridiculously talented wrestler
0:15 No they don't. If that was sarcasm, I'm sorry for not catching that.
At the end of that 1992 Rumble, there is a close-up reaction shot of Hogan during the face down with Sid. He knows his time is up. They also had a completely different commentary from Bobby and Gorilla, with Monsoon being a lot less complimentary about Ric Flair.
It’s a lot different now getting fans to hate heels. In the 80s kayfabe was still alive so people genuinely thought the heels were evil. Today everyone knows it’s a show so when a heel is really good the fans appreciate their work and sometimes cheer them. The best example is the fact that MJF got a huge pop when he returned in Chicago with CM Punk in the ring. There is nobody in wrestling today that is as committed to kayfabe as MJF.
Sid is a great wrestler
wwe does this so they can make the good wrestlers seem like a favorite.
Probably because Wrestling at the end of the Day is a Show in which the Hero defeats the Villian.
But ironically they have no idea how to book baby faces so they are like able and heels that are detested
It is a shame that only “wrestler” they actually managed to attract a Heat magnet to him was Dominik.
Sadly he is one of the worst wrestlers today
WWE doesn’t like to give us as fans what we want and thinks we’re stupid specifically Vince McMahon however that has changed with Tripe H
Yeah now there will be more cases of bringing in more Indy darlings, lack of storylines, more highspot wrestling and more pleasing the supermarks like how tony khan does with AEW. Yeah that will help bring in new fans and boost ratings
Imagine if they piped in cheers for Bret making Austin pass out at WM13, put in cheers when Bret declined Shamrock going through the ropes. Could've killed the double turn. 😅
Boutta watch this before this gets taken down
I remember when WCW would do this with the Goldberg chants. The dumbest time this was done was in Toronto when he has cutting a promo opposite Bret Hart. The almost blew out the speakers at the ACC.
I never understood the Goldberg chant. It sounds the crowd is mocking him, not unlike "Darrrrryl" Strawberry.
@LIM1976 its ok mom it just rolls right off their back. 😥
Great picture 1:25
I hope Triple H doesn't make the same mistakes.
Hogan crying about the crowd booing him 😂😂😂😂 idk whos more petty him or bret hart. 2 of my favorite wrestlers back in the day showing their true colors in thier old age.
How dare you disrespect Bret like that... For over 20 years, "goldberg bad" has been his bread and butter.
The hogan stans are the worst. They support the biggest crybaby, and this is just more proof. He didn't get the reaction he wanted, so he ran to Vince lol
Was waiting for the 1999 match, I still think about how good that would of been. I always remember HHH referring to stone cold as the immortal austin in the promo
Royal Rumble 92 we all know Sid got cheered and it was Hogan who got boooed.
That was the first time I ever saw the crowd turn on Hogan live.
Piping in boos for Dom is painfully obvious too
And them cutting his mic off to make it seem like the fans are overpowering several thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment.
I wanted to break my tv when i was kid when they announced Bulldog won the Royal Rumble then took it back. still bitter
When you said they know best it sounded so unconvincing 😂
Great shout using Sting's "Deception game" promo from TNA 2010 to illustrate the point...
People who defend WWE no matter what need to seek help
Here's my list
10. The LA Knight Fiasco
9. The Sasha Krew 4 Life Sign
8. What Rusev Day?
7. Lol Lesnar Wins
6. Daniel Bryan's Popularity Cooldown
5. Roman Reigns's Babyface Era
4. Ignoring Sting's TNA Tenure
3. Sid Eliminates Hulk Hogan
2. Hulk Hogan Closes Wrestlemania 9 On Top
1. The 2014 Survivor Series Main Event
I am amazed at how much heat Domenic Mysterio seems to get, to the point where he can't deliver a promo. It makes me wonder...
Na-RAYTIV
The Miz girl's face is iconic.
Fans hate being deceived by WWE, to the point that they questioned their love for the product….😔😔😔
Like how they buried Cody
Don't forget the survivor series where they said every match would count but when smackdown won a match on the preshow they said it didn't count. Removing the previous statement and trying to make it look like raw won a clean sweep
my chant was edited out of extreme rules in Newark, Cody, DIbiase Jr, and Randy came out, and I got the crowd to chant "Your dad's fat"
I like the irony of the last two
1992 Royal Rumble was fair to flair. The late great bobby heenan 👏 amazing all night. Wooooo
not important but the way you say "narrative" makes my eye twitch lol
What happened to Sting is the exact same thing that happened with Kurt Angle
I think one of the biggest pops I’ve ever heard and I know it was real. When Stone Cold Steve Austin came out to help mankind win his first WWF championship.
The crowd to Hogan: "This doesn't work for us, brother!"
there was also the time vince steph hhh and shane came out to the ring to the tell the fans that they were the authority now and their voices and concerns would be heard.
One thing I would never understand is why would WWE stop a push if a person gets over organically (Ryder. Rusev, etc..). I get Vince is control freak, but i would think he would still see it would be good business. I dont get it.
They don’t know better. Not at all. Vince is just arrogant.
Vince tried to move away from Hulk as the top guy, but Warrior failed. It's very telling that Randy won the title at WM8 yet it was Hulk and Warrior posing at the end of the show. Then Randy's reign was lackluster and short lived because he had been presented as second tier. Look at the business they did in '88 and for WM5, and clearly Savage should have been given the monster push once Hulkamania went stale.
I’m so glad sting gets to end his career on his own terms in aew because his wwe run while the best part of it was his debut at wwe survivor series 2014 in my opinion was terrible he lost his first match vs triple h at wrestlemaina 31 which was basically just vince giving the middle finger to wcw one last time and he getting injured on a buckle bomb vs seth rollins for the wwe championship at wwe night of champions 2015.
Did Sid forget he was suspended in '92 and he chose to quit? He made it sound like he went straight back to WCW because of Hogan at the Rumble, when he did WrestleMania VIII with him, and then a European tour...
Fans are what make watching prowrestling live so great. They are the most authentic thing about the product.
It's ridiculous that WWE is manipulating these events. It's a changing the way people remember the show they attended.
I know they have a show to make, but WWE should acknowledge the fans.
The original VHS release of Royal Rumble '92 had the original audio. Hogan got cheered when he came out, but Sid got pop when he threw Hogan out, and then Hogan got lots of boos for pulling Sid out from outside the ring and then proceeding to jump in the ring and act like a big baby after Flair was handed the belt. Sid then faced off with Hogan to chants of "Sid! Sid! Sid!" while Hogan just looked confused.
This just proves how petty WWE is
I remember a while back my best friend and I went to Raw in Pittsburgh. There was a spot with Cena where the crowd was silent. They showed a recap from before the commercial break on the titantron where Cena got this huge pop. We looked at one another and said, “that didn’t happen.”
During covid times, when the crowd would be on screens. I was able to get on a episode as part of the crowd. There was a guy talking over the live feed and would tell us to "boo" "thumbs down" or "cheer" "be happy" depending on what reaction for each wrestler they wanted to have..
That sounds like something from a movie.
I was at that MSG show for reigns. It was incredible they had just released that bloodline shirt and everyone was hype to see them
I think one of the best edits they’ve done is with Jon Cena. I’ve never seen him.
Never forget in this year, when sami sayn betrayed reigns at the rumble and there was a massive F U Roman chants for all around the building
Correction: one of the most frustrating things about being a wrestling fan is putting up with nonsense from a bunch of entitled hate groups that forgot how to be wrestling fans.
For the Hogan RR92 thing, on the network and alot of the home releases, it sounds like the original's audio, but there is a clip on youtube of a recap of the RR92 where it is pretty clear they piped in boos when Hogan was eliminated(vs the cheers in the real audio) and had Monsoon and Heenan re-record audio over that portion
I was at Wrestlemania 25, and before the show started, while nothing was going on, suddenly I hear cheers erupting through the entire arena... nobody was cheering.
There's enough video for 10 videos like this and probably more.
I love that no matter how they package Roman, they are never happy with the crowd reaction
That part about Sting is nothing new. In the 80's & early 90's WWE would always ignore a name wrestler's past that arrived in their company. WWE used to act like they were the only wrestling company in existence. When Ric Flair joined as "The Real World's Champion" They didn't mention WCW and even late announcer Gorrilla Monsoon would bury him by saying "Where did he get that belt?" and "Who did he beat to win that championship?" For example.
Yeah, WWE needs to stop doing that right now because it ruined their reputation as a company on the creative standpoint.
