Quick notes: I hope y’all enjoyed. I was super sick when I was editing this so I’m sorry if doesn’t meet your standards, ill be back better next time. Anyway guys give me some fun topics to talk about😂 Also I realized COD came out in 07, but for me it was always associated with 08😭 Hope you guys enjoy❤️
Twas fine. But one of my favorite matches is okada vs omega that went for like 40 minutes and it wasn't boring and had a shit ton of action. And it was in the tokyo dome
This is why I consider Summerslam 2008 the last PPV of the Ruthless Aggression Era. What better way to end the era than with Cena vs Batista, Taker vs Edge, and the heights of the HBK vs Y2J fued.
I remember the 8 year old me being pissed off that I couldn’t watch the ppv because I was with my family all day buying furniture and my dad said we couldn’t get the ppv. We finally got home right before John Cena vs. Batista and after the whole day of my dad telling me I couldn’t watch the ppv, he took the tv remote and ordered the ppv for me. My heart was racing during the whole Edge vs. undertaker match and I was hyped af when the undertaker won. I still remember to this day I remember going to bed being so satisfied with the end of that storyline.
Jimmy McMuffin damn you’re lucky I was 4 years old in 2008😭 didn’t know a damn thing about wwe lmao I wish we could go back to that time and era when life was so simple and better
Taker coming back for post-match assault is a direct callback to when Edge did it to him after his MITB cash-in on the May 11, 2007 edition of SmackDown! Even the way Taker looks at Edge moving in the ring on the tron is basically IDENTICAL to the way Edge did it exactly to him 15 months earlier. It's SUCH a good touch to end the feud on, and brilliantly bookends it.
I was 15 at this time, so my friends had mostly outgrown WWE and moved onto UFC at this point, but once it was made official that John Cena and Batista were finally gonna lock horns, I remember it drew a good number of them back in, at least temporarily. That match-up was like seeing Batman taking on Superman, our version of Hogan vs Warrior. It was the ultimate culmination of my childhood fandom watching early 2000s WWE. With the impending arrival of the PG era, it really felt like it marked the end of an era in more ways than one. A lot of my friends fell back off the WWE bandwagon once the match was said and done (and thankfully, our boi Batista got the win so that was an even better note to go out on) and I can't really blame em cuz 2009 and 2010 were hard years to sit through a lot of the time.
Man, this video brought back so many good memories from WWE back then. It had a lot of bad stuff, but 2008 was a solid year. 2009 was horrible, though. Anyways, during those years PPVs were free in Mexico and they were broadcasted live, damn. I have vivid memories of the Edge vs Undertaker match. The whole PPV, really, but the Hell in a Cell in particular. This PPV and One Night Stand (also 2008) and Wrestlemania 24 (I think also 2008?) are my favorite of all time.
In Jerichos recent book he states that he did LEGIT punch Rebecca! It was an accident and he felt terrible but the lunch fully connected, she had a fat lip afterwards
JERICHO's turn here against Michaels was HBK's Kayfabe Karma for smashing Jannetty towards that glass in the Barber shop duiring his 1992 heel turn, it was Poetic and has a Bookend feel to it.. On the Other side of the Coin, Kevin Owen's turn on Jericho in the Festival of friendship a few years back, the one that was so masterfully executed, is the Visual and Poetic Kayfabe Karma for Jericho doing this to Michaels on his Highlight reel, it's just as beautiful as a symmetrical bookend.
Duuuuuuude, I binge watch your content like crazy! You should definitely do more Ruthless Aggression Era retrospectives. (Also, Y2J says he legit punched Shawn’s wife by accident in his book 😂)
Of every time period in wwe, haven't see much of 2008. It's weird seeing Cena wear black, Jericho wearing tights with short hair, and and the green summer slam design, all in HD.
I was born in 1997, and the ruthless aggression era is everything to me. It’s soo good cause I feel I can relate to you dude. Seeing Batista and John Cena clap each other was the highlight, almost like the hogan rock match. Icons. keep up the good work and can’t wait for you next videos 🤙🏼
I was finna say that build up to khali vs hhh was good... man I miss the story telling in wwe it’s one of the reasons why the rock and stone cold was so good
@@supermariowrestlingtv9046 Jeff Hardy jumping off the raw stage is still considered one of the best moments of the ruthless aggression era, and that was 2008!
I agree I was only 11 at the time and I loved the hell out of this show particularly the main event Edge Vs Undertaker is one of my all time favorite Hell in a Cell matches and just rivalries in general I remembered how legit upset I was when Edge cashed in and especially when Edge won the TLC match so especially as a kid how exciting and gratifying it was to see Undertaker send Edge to hell
As much as I enjoyed their feud in 2003 which resulted in one of my favorite matches of all time ( that epic WrestleMania XIX clash), the reworked rivalry with Michaels and Jericho here was phenomenal. They had great moment after great moment and it finished fantastically with that ladder match at No Mercy like oh man.
Also, I like this ppv very much but I think I hold a special place in my heart for SS 2007. Granted it wasn't the best Summerslam by any means but it was the first ppv I was able to buy and just seeing both Triple H AND Rey Mysterio return in the same night was a thing of beauty. Also the hype up to the show is one of my favorites ever only because of that Whine Up song. But three back to back to back amazing Summerslams in a row ( 07, 08, 09) to close out the 2000's Was pretty cool.
This makes me wish I watched wwe in my childhood, I got into wrestling through the all stars game, but I always remember playing as Edge. Regardless, it's really enjoyable watching these ppv's and the reviews on it
I remember watching that taker vs edge match a couple days after summerslam 08 on a bootleg dvd because my mom couldnt afford to order it and let me tell you that match was everything for me its still my favorite match of all time
U have the outlook of someone that grew up in MY time of wwe. I know there's "Eras" but dude u have a way of explaining this shit that I absolutely agree with. Keep this shit coming 💯
So glad I got to go to this ppv as a kid. I rewatched it on the network recently and there are some stinkers but I was lucky to witness these three moments. And honestly, JBL vs Punk was a pretty good match, and I love both of those stars. Great video, makes me relive it.
I read, or watched here on RUclips as well I think, that it wasn’t at all scripted. Can’t remember exactly. But I think Shawn was supposed to duck or something and Y2J would miss and high tail on out of there but HBK’s wife was dead straight behind so she got clocked OR There was indeed a worked punch meant for Shawn’s wife but I think Y2J accidentally came in too hot and clocked her bad. I’m not entirely sure but it’s along the lines of that. Anyway, Good video!
It's the first Hell in a Cell match under the PG era and it is absolutely a brutal war despite the lack of blood which is a staple of all previous Hell in a Cell matches
this is my favourite summerslam ever. John Cena Vs Batista was the Biggest dream match for us kids since 2005 Triple H as WWE Champion produced some quality content Shawn Michaels cold af line to jericho when he says sit your wife down, your kids down and tell them that daddy will never ever be Shawn Michaels. And the blood feud between edge and the undertaker ending in my favourite hell in a cell match of all time.
Speaking on Batista vs cena as a kid born in 97, that almost caused real fights between me and my step brother (also 97) even though we both knew that shit was fake.

I like your subs went to 3000 to 4000 keep up good work
Even though you were sick or I will still watch it
This was excellent bro keep it coming man you got this
So does this mean you associate World At War with 2009?
Twas fine. But one of my favorite matches is okada vs omega that went for like 40 minutes and it wasn't boring and had a shit ton of action. And it was in the tokyo dome
In Jericho's book he says he accidentally actually punched Shawn's wife and HBK was legit pissed afterwards
@@DTB1995 lilan face show that everyone was surprise that happen
And Shawn's wife after that told Jericho: "It's that best you can do?"
With a smile on her face
Thats great
@@williamwolfxrivera2418 Badass!
That look of shock on Jericho's face after it happened was not acting.

Ruthless aggression was way over by this point. Cena as the top guy is not Ruthless Agression era.
@@funguy3453 it absolutely is though
no way 2008 is ruthless aggression.
@@funguy3453 Ruthless Aggression era ended after Great American Bash 2008.
I always felt one night stand 2008 was the last RA era PPV and one of the best cards I have seen

“I understand” god that undertaker and edge rivalry was a classic long term build
Duh. The poster of Maria made Summer Slam 2008 enjoyable.
JK. Summer Slam 2008 was a fun show. Especially Edge vs Undertaker Hell in a Cell.

This was my first year watching and it got my hopes way too high for the future years of WWE😅

What are you talking about? That coward Marty Jannetty dove through the glass to escape Shawn Michaels
@@zslain56 what?????
So you’re saying someone is gonna betray Kevin Owens next
Not really i'm just saying it's a cool kayfabe symmetry if you choose to look at it that way.
The end of this comment is like the only good part of the decade in wwe
The eye injury was actually caused during Michaels’ match with Kane at Unforgiven 2004 I think the Jericho thing was Kayfabe
Correct

He wore black in 2006-2007 and it's the Chain Gang Soldier shirt with the army bulldog and the words Regret Nothing, Fear Less

This channel is too underrated
That Batista vs Cena match was a big thing in our household. My favourite was always Batista and my bros was Cena. Miss those days.
I was finna say that build up to khali vs hhh was good... man I miss the story telling in wwe it’s one of the reasons why the rock and stone cold was so good
6:10 because the punch actually connected which left Shawn actually pissed of at Y2J.
2008 WWE prime for the Pg era because is showed that wwe could still have good shows in the Pg era
2008 is where wwe is PG. And people are so mad wwe is PG.
Stop bummin it was PG after July 2008.
Oh I'm sorry. The Ruthless Aggression Era ended in 2007 and it lasted that long. WWE went PG in *JUNE* 2008. after the draft, WWE went PG.
@@supermariowrestlingtv9046 Jeff Hardy jumping off the raw stage is still considered one of the best moments of the ruthless aggression era, and that was 2008!
They've shown over and over they can have good shows in the PG era. It being PG isn't the issue, the creative team is.
I agree I was only 11 at the time and I loved the hell out of this show particularly the main event Edge Vs Undertaker is one of my all time favorite Hell in a Cell matches and just rivalries in general I remembered how legit upset I was when Edge cashed in and especially when Edge won the TLC match so especially as a kid how exciting and gratifying it was to see Undertaker send Edge to hell
I enjoy how positive you are.
Not that you don't acknowledge the bad but more along the lines of 'heh, let's talk about the good stuff'.

Most underrated youtuber right now
I remember watching that taker vs edge match a couple days after summerslam 08 on a bootleg dvd because my mom couldnt afford to order it and let me tell you that match was everything for me its still my favorite match of all time
I was turning 9 in ‘08 I just turned 20 last week man time flies 💯🤦🏾♂️ this is one nostalgiac ass video😢
Fun fact this was the last match mvp won in 2008 before he went on a losing streak.
What an underrated ppv...
U have the outlook of someone that grew up in MY time of wwe. I know there's "Eras" but dude u have a way of explaining this shit that I absolutely agree with. Keep this shit coming 💯
God damn that stage was beautiful
I was lucky enough to go to SummerSlam 2008. It was an awesome show!
I love how you play music from the era in the background small but great touch
Batman Dark knight was out to during the Summer. Summer before I entered Grade 12. Good times, great memories. I grew up too fast
And I couldn’t tell you why, but Summerslam 08 is one of my favourite sets 🤷🏻♂️
As a kid during that era I used to love Edge because most people hated him lol
Edge screwed matt
For me it was not whether people hated him ...it was the fact that his music was the shit
He was a heel he did his job that’s why he’s widely regarded as one of the greatest heels of all time.
Bro you actually know how to narrate wrestling well and you represent the generation of WWE fans I'm in, subscribed!
I had the dvd, watched it multiple times, that hell in a cell is one of my fav matches of all time !!
I love that spongebob quiet joke for Triple H at the start of the video
So glad I got to go to this ppv as a kid. I rewatched it on the network recently and there are some stinkers but I was lucky to witness these three moments. And honestly, JBL vs Punk was a pretty good match, and I love both of those stars. Great video, makes me relive it.
Yeah I enjoyed this summerslam as well 2008 in general I think was one of the last good years that WWE had.
i love your videos how you first talk a little bit about the year and bring some old memories and games and then talk about WWE
Dynamite, I say the same.
The Savage list of Jericho
new sneak bro Jericho in 2008 was a next level savage 💀
Right Above it 🔥🔥 Great background song to talk about Cena vs Batista
It had a different feeling front the past years, and felt like a Mania.
I had this on DVD and this brought so much emotion out of me from edge and undertaker to Jeff hardy and MVP, even kofi Kingston and santino marella
Neori the man Facts. I still got this DVD.
First WWE PPV I attended. Seeing John Cena and Batista go at it live in Nap was amazing
This was a great Summer Slam I was upset I was starting the 10th grade and summer vacation was over soon
I read, or watched here on RUclips as well I think, that it wasn’t at all scripted. Can’t remember exactly. But I think Shawn was supposed to duck or something and Y2J would miss and high tail on out of there but HBK’s wife was dead straight behind so she got clocked OR There was indeed a worked punch meant for Shawn’s wife but I think Y2J accidentally came in too hot and clocked her bad.

Damn man, you make great videos. You explain exactly how I felt when I was younger.
Chris Jericho was one of the greatest heel turns of my time ⚡💯🔥
Super underrated show from a great year
Y2J vs hbk the last legendary wrestling feud. The last feud that no one has anything bad to say about or could change
Summerslam ‘06 was one of my favorites!!!
Great way to end the ruthless aggression era 😆😆😆🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘The G.O.A.T!!!!
I miss old wwe 2008
Bruh I rewatch this and that duppy instrumental hit 🔥🔥💨
You forgot about in Summer 2008, T.I. and Lil Wayne ruled the charts
cod 4, gta 4, wwe was peak, youth was peak, xbox 360 & ps3 was booming, the internet was booming, everything was booming. what a time to be alive.
I think Edge v The Undertaker is one of the greatest Hell In A Cell matches of all time, it was entertaining, enthralling, had everything
It's the first Hell in a Cell match under the PG era and it is absolutely a brutal war despite the lack of blood which is a staple of all previous Hell in a Cell matches
Just discovered ur channel and binge watching ur vids. Love ur commentary. It's spot on!
Jericho's delivery of "The worst is yet to come" still gives me chill
Why WrestleMania 17 was soo good

To this day, Undertaker Vs. Edge at this ppv remains Number 2 in my Top Ten Hell In A Cell Matches Of All Time.
I always thought the titontron for this ppv was amazing
