Really enjoyed the different presenters all getting together to make a longer video. Made it feel shorter that way and wasn't getting fatigue listening to one person for a long time. Would love to see more of this format
Love this! Just want to correct one thing, Roman Reigns was informed of the cash in the night before at the Hall of Fame, per him. I believe Seth was the only one informed the day of.
I literally just left a similar comment at the start, watched the video halfway through, started scrolling through the comments and found this. Someone that appreciates the fine arts ☕️
How do you figure 39 years? 1st year was 1985, 2nd was 1986. 3rd was 1987. Keep counting and you'll get to the 40th in 2024. Remember: the 1st year of something isn't the 0th year of something.
Only one year goes by between 2 Wrestlemanias. "Example: When you turned 10 years old, you celebrated your 10th birthday, which was also the 10th anniversary of your birth. An ordinal is always one number ahead of the anniversary. Example: On your 10th birthday, you began your 11th year." (Thanks Uni-watch) @dgthe3
Wrestlemania has turned 40 years old? Why, it's the 40th anniversary of Wrestlemania! Wrestlemania 1 = 31st March 1985. Wrestlemania, as of the release of this video, is currently 38 years 360 days old ('cos leap year, innit?). WhatCulture succumbing to WWE-itis? Yes, I am fun at parties.
@@yomamasofat77 Yep. Celebrating 40 years of something isn't the same as the 40th anniversary. This is the 40th year of WrestleMania, next year will be the 40th anniversary.
@@yomamasofat77 A good way to think about it is with "birthday logic". On the day of birth, you're not automatically age 1. You have to wait a year, same as with anniversaries. This year may be the 40th Wrestlemania, but it's the 39th year of the event (Wrestlemania 1 can be considered "year 0"). Thus making next year the true 40th anniversary.
Okay not trying to nitpick but why is Simon ending most of his sentences like the words were written in lowercase until the end of the sentence? “we should also point out that hulk did kick out at 3.1 to show that he wasn’t really beat howEVERRRRRRR.”
This list-more than any other-proves that WWE/WWF were more about aesthetic and spectacle more than in-ring wrestling. I can applaud them on this since it’s worked for them, but the amount of coverage here (and everywhere) on these shows say a lot more about how they “did business” more than how they booked good matches. Love what you love. There’s no shame in that, but I LOVE professional wrestling more than sports entertainment. I’m so glad there are companies out there that buck this tired (for me) trend!
29:06 Personally, I enjoyed this moment. Sure, I wouldn’t have minded a thorough match, but I feel that it culminated the way it should have. At this point, Daniel was the type to literally grab his championship and his girlfriend and go home the second he began struggling in a match. As champion, that works in his favor. He was also the kind of guy who had been berating his kind and loving girlfriend the whole time he was champion. So, the best, and funniest way to keep a runner from running is to catch them off guard. I actually laughed so hard at this, and I’d like to thank Daniel and Sheamus for making such a memorable moment for me to see.
No, Wrestlemania has turned 39! Don't fall into WWE's "Wrestlemania 25 is the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania" mindset. The day you're born is not your first birthday. Your wedding is not your first anniversary. Stop the madness!
Michael Wilbon doesn't understand that WM 23 IS the 20th anniversary of WM 3 while mocking WWE for not knowing how anniversaries work. He then insults Michael Cole's ability to call a match when the last 2 years have proven he's really good at it.
Ric should have taken the final slot. Anything after that emotional match would have never lived up to it. But Flair is old school, and the rule was that you gave to the business on the way out. Fortunately, Undertaker and Edge gave a great match so it worked out.
I know a record longer than the quarter century mark for Philly. The last time wrestlemania was held in Toronto has been 34 years and still waiting for another one.
I actually always thought it weird that even though I was born in June of '82 I am 1 year older than WrestleMania even though the first Mania was in '85.
Hear me out, but if we KNOW Taker, Austin, and Cena will all be there this weekend, who do you think will be the real surprises to get involved in the main event story?
For Mania becominv two nights it was needed. Sheer coincidence before the pandemic WrestleKingdom for the first time became a two-night extravaganza Jan. 4th. This featured two retirement matches for Jushin 'Thunder' Liger.
11:09 woah woah woah hey!! That is one of the best matches of all time. Whatcha talking about whatculture?! It begins with technical wrestling, slows down the pace and they work each other with great psychology, then they amp it up with some bursts of high energy action and high spots and than slow it down. Wrestling has peaks and valleys and take you on a roller coaster. It’s not spot after spot after spot and no sells.
Thank you WC dont stop doing these mania facts videos. But why is simon talking like that? Annunciating the end of every sentence and trailing off like that... he never used to talk like a weirdo
I just hope Toronto Canada doesnt have to wait 25 years for mania to come to Toronto BRING MANIA TO TORONTO TRIPS! (ill admit I almost put vince there)

Thank "The Fink" for giving us the name ''WrestleMania" .God rest his soul❤

Adam, I was "too cool for wrasslin." after WM6.
I never appreciated it again until Dec of '99.
When Stone Cold made his return, he was no Y2J.
Technically it's 39 years
I blame WWE for gaslighting us over the "25th" anniversary of Wrestlemania 😂

1st entry.
I don't remember this at all;
Unlike many others before, I have not rewatched any WM, since 31.
Actually, next year makes 40 years. It started in 1985.
Is that "Randy Savage script" written in Italian?
well...he was Italian American
9:29 10 years on, Gareth. 10 years.

Goldust at WrestleMania 12, and hes still going today, crazy
Cage match at 28, HHH vs. Taker. I know, I was there.
This kept my attention the whole time. Good job lads.

Great video idea❤
I punched out after Simon's segment. I assume Hulkamania ran wild all over WhatCulture for the rest of the video.
I took my wrestling break around the same time. When I came back I had no idea who most of these "stars" were.
This is What Culture's own Showcase of The Immortals
It turned 39 years old, we didn't wait a year between WM0 and WM1, like we do with life. It's simple math Simon
I really like Ted’s heel gimmick of taking state money for his own gain. Truly committed to the character. Please donate to his church. Amen.
Wow. 1,560 facts. Can't wait!
Wrestlemania 4 is actually one of if not my fav wretlemanias
"a completely immobile man vs the Great Khali"🤣🤣🤣
Anyone remember 10 facts about each Wrestlemania in the lead up to WM33? what a time to be alive..
Ric should have taken the final slot. Anything after that emotional match would have never lived up to it. But Flair is old school, and the rule was that you gave to the business on the way out. Fortunately, Undertaker and Edge gave a great match so it worked out.
WM 23 was a great match. Umaga vs Lesnar was good and led to Durag Vince. It's crazy how Orton and HHH had matches before WM 25
You mean Umaga vs Lashley
I thought that was brilliant the way they exposed Punk, at the same time put in the story line with the Young Bucks
HHH lost the world title and Mania XX and 21 in 2004 and 2005. It was just 2003 that he had the ridiculous win over Booker T
You gotta warn us that is one startling difference in vocal differences
Triple H jobbed for dry ice… I spit my drink out
Question
Of all the manias how many were actually overall good?
I.d say less than half
Pameler Anderson was Pamela Anderson's ring name. You silly British speaking fella. 9:52
Macho Man was a hell of wrestling innovator
Can’t wait for Wrestlemania 40!
I need a whole video on people copying savage steamboat

22 years, you forgot Wrestlemania 18.
@@bonecanoe86 oh shit I actually didn’t know they ended up coming back lol
Didn't Hogan tear 5 biceps and break every bone in his back slamming Andre?
I mean, Daniel Brian isn't just a vegan nerd. He also happens to be a self-righteous bully to so there is that!
I actually always thought it weird that even though I was born in June of '82 I am 1 year older than WrestleMania even though the first Mania was in '85.
Hhh loves shemus. N atleast fans respect n love him now he's been some talent

I was at 6 and i could tell hogan was up to something the whole match
A really immobile man against khali!💀💀
It wasn’t AJ Lee it was Nikki Bella who held the Divas Championship at WrestleMania 31
Whatculture lambasted WWE for their 25th anniversary in 2009. Now they made the same mistake!

Fun and watchable until about 8:35
Agreed. There's something about Gareth's delivery that I can't tolerate. His work is listenable for me.
bret being mentioned every ple>>>
I dunno if Gareth knows this, but it's wrestlemania, not wrestlemanier
Tampa Bay Lightning won the NHL Stanley Cup
I actually bullied Howard Finkel in around 2002
A story doesn't have to have happy ending to end the story.......
It's _not_ 40 years old! It's 39 years old, you don't say that a baby is 1 year old when it's born.
Wasnt Bossman Vs. Taker a steel cage match at Mania 15?
Great vid very interesting
And you couldn't let Simon finish this video 🤦♂️
why did you whisper so often in this video?
Why did I stop watching once Simon left 😭
Stone Cold and Brett saved Wrestlemania
The fact Brett has the most wins in WWE, imagine he never left prob regirrd05-10 atleast 1000 more crazy that no one will prob beat it
I wanted Randy to win at Wrestlemania 25
A completely immobile man vs khali
"A pinch of Russo" doesn't mean what you think it means.
Hogan vs Savage at Mania V may not have been great, actually...the rest of the Matches sucked.
Don't you mean the power of Randy the Macho Man Savage bunch
Can't wait for Las Vegas to shatter Philadelphia's record
Bait and switch, Simon is only in the first 8-9 minutes
Daniel Bryan vs Sheamus WAS the worst Wrestlemania opening match, until Randy Orton vs The Fiend ... F%CK YOU VINCE
👍🏾 wrestlemania
Welcome to colossal tussle 40 😂
Gonna save this to watch with my wife tonight. She's fairly new to sports entertainment and loves learning all this stuff.
Thank you WC dont stop doing these mania facts videos. But why is simon talking like that? Annunciating the end of every sentence and trailing off like that... he never used to talk like a weirdo
Had to skip from WM21 thru 30
39 years
This video really highlights how obnoxious Wilbourne is.
1 fact from every year not 40
Lol why do you drag the ends of words out so long, with 4 different intonations for that last syllable😂 “and the card itself was bizaAAaarrrRRRRHH…”
I just hope Toronto Canada doesnt have to wait 25 years for mania to come to Toronto BRING MANIA TO TORONTO TRIPS! (ill admit I almost put vince there)
Only after they come to Minneapolis!
A long Simon Miller video? I’m here!
And I stopped watching WWE weekly in 2005
