Gunther trolling Bret with “Bill Goldberg” as his favorite wrestler of all time was wild.
Bret is a great sport, always puts the story first
You know Ludwig Kaiser is good and standsout when Undertaker, Jim Cornette, Dutch Mantell and even Vince Russo praises Kaiser, despite him being a lackey and having limited Tv time.
The guy is 6'2 or 6'3 if he add some size he will even go on to become a World Champion. Kaiser is the talent WWE should start investing.
I don't think he will win a big one but midcard solo title? Assuming they won't do hot potato with IC or US title, i think within 2 years Kaiser can get one of them. It seems to me that triple h likes to plan out his champions in advance for many many months
And gets to smash Tiffany Stratton.
He got a lean build it gonna be hard to add size. But I always like Ludwig he talk different
Ludwig has it made. He's becoming a star, and he's doing Tiffany. It doesn't get much better than that.
@@JaculaDudek Kaiser definitely has potential to win the big one, he has more charisma and personality than Gunther, and having character is what sells to casuals, and he very easy to boo. He is basically The Miz but more polished in the ring.
the goldberg line was a perfect wink at the smart fans without breaking the immersion. perfect delivery and the heat was amazing. nobody expected it!
I was sure Gunther was gonna say Shawn Michaels and that would've been fine. When he said "Bill Goldberg" I became Farooq and Booker T. "Damn! Tell me he didn't just say that". Top shelf right there.
Wink at smart fans? Lmfao ok champ
@@scrappy93 that's a less condescending term for smarks. Your problem?
Half the arena probably didn’t even get it
You can tell Gunther was marking out inside,he could not stop smirking this entire thing. I guarantee the Goldberg line was a Bret suggestion to get heat,Bret knows what his fans will react to when he’s insulted lol
Before he says Bill Goldberg you can tell Gunther is trying not to laugh. It's priceless.
Gunther corpsing? Send for the man!
@@Steveh216lol
Gunther unlocked a new laugh within me with this😂.
JIM CORNBERG
COOOORNBEEERG! COOOORNBEEERG! 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Bill Goldnette
Nah @@misterwardy1972
🌽 Cornberg eats corn the long way! 🌽
Jill Goldnette
Jim looks more like a buff Walter White
"I'm the one who jackhammers"
"I am the one who botches!"
Bret Hart: "You're a yellow coward!"
Shawn Michaels: "The Grand Wizard there, Bret Hart..."
LOL. Is that a reference to when DX did a promo calling Bret racist? 😅
@@brandonstark1062 👍
@@brandonstark1062Doesn't Bret call DX homo's after? lol
@@brandonstark1062 The funniest thing was in The Nation of Domination's vandalized dressing room, they spray painted "KFC" crossed out
I want to hear Jim talk about Swerve blowing the “WWE contacted me” story way out of proportion, causing the whole contract tampering/ Triple H is racist debacle that TK and AEW diehards ran with for the last few months
I was breaking down to someone else the other day. Under hhh Keith Lee, swerve, Valentino dream, wes Lee and a bit of Carmelo Hayes early nxt days gave them shine and championships. On the other end, the new day are in a storyline, Lashley never had a mic presence or character just big, the street profits just aren’t cutting it and Shelton Benjamin as good as he was in ring his character work was poor and never really picked up traction outside of the hurt business. So if we’re being real he’s given more of a chance than anyone 😭
The best part of this segment is Bret Hart almost broke 😂 I guarantee it was Bret’s idea to say Goldberg.
Facts! It was hilarious!
Gunther even said the full "Bill Goldberg" like Bret would
This is the funniest promo I've seen this year. I now get the hype for Gunther.
AEW already has someone playing the "Fat guy in a T-shirt" gimmick, his name is Eddie Kingston! 😂
Kevin Owens has tremendous upside as a heel. He's just limited as the angry badass face. But as a heel that mercilessly and comically makes fun of people, he's superb.
I wish so damn bad that Punk was on this show. The one time Bret Hart shows up he’s not there😂
We've had the Vince documentary, the Diddy arrest, two AEW PPVs and Roman teaming up with Cody all happen in the past 30 days. Yet the best thing to come from the month of September is Gunther telling Bret that Goldberg is his favourite wrestler.
Great heat in Canada!
Bro this happened Like 3 weeks ago way too late
I love Bret Hart but that Goldberg line won me over
Bret looked the healthiest in that segment!
Best he’s looked in years it’s great to see
But still sharp shooting in the interviews hahaha!
Gunther looked pretty healthy too. Agree that Same Zayn looks like a washed up bum though.
@@AGH69 yeah he needs to go back to shorter hair
@@AGH69 Tbh I used to think that but I think that gives him more underdog vibes
Same Zayn
The friend of Johnny Sameface.... Same Zayn!😂
Sami Zayn vs Gunther should be a regular RAW main event with Gunther beating him the life out of him. The whole story doesn't make sense. Chad Gable should have dethrone Gunther, Sami Zayn is good in the mid-card, their more talents who are more over than him.
Sam insane
@@ChrisJericho22how does the story not make sense? Sami is the only one to defeat gunther
@@pleaseshutup7053 Sami was not the only guy, Ilja and Bron Breakker beat Gunther too. This story doesn't make sense because WWE is trying to present Sami as underdog yet making Gunther fear him lol who wasn't afraid of Lesnar and Orton, but is afraid of a bum. This is equivalent of Eddie Kingston challenging for a world title. Sami dethroning Gunther for the IC is not a excuse about WWE pushing him in the world title picture in a PLE. This match and feud is suited for TV not PLE.
I'm going with the thought that there isn't a typo in the title, and we're now calling him Same Zayn
Jim knows Kevin Owens is a real talent but he just can't get himself to a point where he can appreciate him for what he is rather than remember all the scraps they had in RoH.
Kevin Owens' character nowadays is standing in the ring and acting like he doesn't care, about his opponents' acts and promos.
What a line by Gunther.
So first off, the art is always amazing, but I lost my shit when I saw Cornberg
Before the segment happened, Gunther met Bret backstage and had Bret signed both of their favorite poster "Goldberg eats corn the long way."
Hearing jim talk about kevin Owens and kenny omega is fine art
When Sami’s music hit during that Gunther-Bret promo, I changed the channel. Sami absolutely SUCKS
And finally it releases!! 😢
Been waiting 3 weeks for this
God I’ve been waiting so long for this review
Same Zayne confirmed.
Sami has really earned his main card status
They're both just as valuable. What's really impressive is that Owens was more valuable for many years and Zayn in the last 2 years caught up with him by making major strides.
I thought the Bill Goldberg line by Gunther was fantastic. I also got a bit emotional when I saw Sami Zayn come out wearing a Johnny Gaudreau Calgary Flames jersey just a week or two after his passing. That was a nice touch that they had him wear that.
He's a classy move villain. I could see him in a Bond flick. That "Bill Goldberg" line was savage, but it's the way he smiled and said it. 😂
Bout time
I've seen enough..
Let gunter break roman's record 🔥
someone a while ago just "couldn't wait" for this review
they didn't believe me when i said they need to wait at least 7-10 days after an event for a review to be published
... almost 2 weeks ago 🤣
We’ve been waiting for this long time😅
This was a brilliant segment!
Anybody get Mick Foley versus the Game Triple H vibes from Sami Zayn versus Gunther I swear this feud reminds me of that
I have a problem with Sami vs Gunther's feud, Gunther isn't afraid of Randy Orton who is vicious and dangerous but is afraid of Sami Zayn, that doesn't make sense at all. Sami's whole underdog gimmick doesn't make sense in this feud. Sami vs Gunther should have been a regular TV match a RAW mainevent.
Time and time again i say Chad Gable should have ended Gunther's IC run he had more momentum than Sami Zayn, now Gable got reduced into the Wyatt Sucks segments, speaking of Wyatt Sucks this faction is an afterthought, its the WWE version of Undisputed Kingdom from AEW all hype but weak execution.
I mean, he Is afraid because he beat him. Pretty clear to me, Randy doesn't work well as a baby face and Gable is better as a defeated with Grace baby face than a Champion face.
@@cheloxmv Yep Sami beat him for the IC title so the match makes sense on TV but not on PLE, Gunther being afraid of Sami (who is presented as underdog) is not a great look on Gunther as World Champion who basically defeated one of the most biggest star in WWE. Gunther shouldn't be scared of Sami, it's like Wardlow being afraid of Eddie Kingston.
@@ChrisJericho22 Maybe it's not quite fear but pride... He can lose to Randy Orton and feel OK about himself, but already having lost to Sami creates some insecurity. He's not scared of Sami, but scared of what losing to him again would do to him
You nailed it, Chad Gable wining would have been way better than Sami. Sadly Gable got stuck on that Wyatt vortex, he needs to go to SmackDown and soon win US title once Knight is ready to win the big one.
@@cheloxmv Sami ending Gunther’s ic reign was one of the worst things to happen
I love "Same Zane" not gonna lie😂
This thumbnail funny as hell.
Ive never understood the appeal of KO..the guys voice, his stupid young bucks insider type promos, the look of him, him jacking the stunner from stone cold..he's awful.
I don’t get the insider jab at him. If he does it’s very subtle
@@thedogwoods5716 no its lame and cosplay like
@@Sky_BlazeI never got that vibe from his promos
@@SamsarasArt cause you're probably a mark
I can neither confirm nor deny that I once saw Bray Wyatt and Kevin Steen eat more than 40 donuts a piece in a sitting.
Gunther trolling Bret with the Goldberg comment was one of the best moments in wrestling this year. This is why the guy deserved to be champion and is one of the best heels in the business.
We all thought he was gonna say Shawn Michaels but he went even deeper.....BILL Goldberg!
I genuinely think they can drag Gunther vs Sami Zayn out to Wrestlemania.
Gunther says Zayn doesnt deserve a shot but its fear on his face that he knows Sami Zayn can beat him that sits under all the bravado.
Eventually Sami Zayn earns the shot that Gunther won't give him by winning the Royal Rumble. The. The story going into Wrestlemania is "Sami Zayn doesn't look like a World Champion vs Can lightning strike twice?" - Basically the same story as Triple H vs Booker T at Wrestlemania 19, but without all the racist undertones to it.
Ugh that whole feud was unfortunate
Putting Sami Zayn in WM41 is equivalent of AEW putting Eddie Kingston in the mainevent of AEW PPV.
Jey, Bron, Punk and Drew are way over than Sami right now. Sami should lose here and go back on mid-card which is the perfect place where he delivers not everyone is meant to be in World title feud.
@@ChrisJericho22 I'm not saying that Sami Zayn should beat Gunther, but CM Punk is surely on a collision course with Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker and Drew McIntyre are both heels and don't get me started on Jey Uso.
Jim even said it here. Sami Zayn is the best "every man" in WWE. In a lot of ways, he's the natural successor to Daniel Bryan.
@@Wooderz245 I disagree with Sami Zayn being the successor of Daniel Bryan. Three reasons why:
1) Bryan was believable in the mainevent scene and he never cool down for the casual fans, Sami was only over during BL.
2) Bryan had a good physique despite not being huge.
3) Bryan was not only a good chaser but was also a good title holder. "Winning the Title" and 'Holding the title" are two different things Sami was better only one that is chasing.
The closest successor of Daniel Bryan will be Ilja Dragonov who doesn't look out of place wrestling big guys, a good underdog, but also a good title holder not just a chaser. Though he is still yet to prove his promos and his ability to draw.
Sami Zayn is this era’s Mick Foley without the barbed wire and thumb tacks. He’s the ultimate underdog and everyone sees themselves in him.
When Goldberg was with WCW he was a lot of people's favorite, MJF favorite wrestler is Goldberg & The Rock
Hearing Jim Cornette call someone else a “Fat,Loud mouth” soothes my heart 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same Zayn That's my favorite wrestler.
Eventually we need a Gunther omnibus
just imagining what a Gunther vs Bret Hart match could be
My god the crowd reaction when he said Bill Goldberg was priceless. No man is more hated in Canada than Goldberg.
Sammy is this generations Mick Foley.
Yup, he wore Mick type of flannel, red also when he got beat down by GUNTHER and Kaiser
😎👌🏻
" likes own comment." Everything isn't like everything
Sami Zayn Sucks a skinny ginger who would rightfully be a jobber to Diesel in 1995
Pump the brakes, there Margaret. Let's not go crazy.
that Goldberg line just might be the coldest line ever. 🥶🧊🌨️⛄️❄️
In Canada too🤣🤣🤣
It's like at times WWE is slowly giving up on Owens... They use him on SD because they need him
99.9% of you all already know so ignore this, but to those who don’t in the “who killed wcw” docuseries Brett kept referring to Goldberg as “Bill Goldberg”, that’s why it’s funny Gunther said “Bill Goldberg”.
I’d hate to not know why that made people laugh lol
1:55 the Bill Goldberg line.
It's hilarious to me that Jim still thinks El Generico and Sami Zayn are the same person 😂
*The next time Gunther is in Canada, he should wear a Goldberg t-shirt.*
Finally.... gunther is just the best in everything ❤😂
But if Sami turns heel, wouldn't it be him with just another heel turn since he just turned face last year. At least Kevin Owens has been a face the last few years.
Honestly, I can't imagine Steen/Owens going to a different promotion without Sami. He could, but at this point I think he is staying.
For a while I found Gunther's promos rather boring but his troll game has been really on point lately and now I actually look forward to him talking and not just him wrestling.
I will forever be appreciative of bret hart and bill goldberg. These guys were honestly two of the biggest stars in their own way. Bret hart being the greatest wrestler of all time and goldberg being the biggest sports entertainer of all time. I will simply make fun of goldberg in any shape whatsoever.
In the title named same zayn 😂
Sadly we’ll never see Bret or HHH throw a punch due to their life threatening health conditions!
Sami is better than Owen. Owen character always needs his heel turn but sami is better at being face which don't need heel turn
Both Gunther and Bret both were about to laugh.
That was a Triple H and HBK co-opted line lol
Sami is like the low rent Mick Foley. Still good for today’s standards though.
Or he’s just good and over. Personality is somewhat the same but that’s it
when i was watching this i thought he was going to say shawn michaels. being in canada and screw job etc but saying bill goldberg is next level insult lol
“Bill Goldberg 🙄”
You guys need to spend more time on the RAW segments. LK vs SZ deserved more than a 1 min review.
I am hoping these reviews get better once Raw goes back to 2 hours.
I don't see Steen going to the other channel, why would he? He's always been a Triple H guy (otherwise he wouldn't have been hired in the first place.) He's in the world title picture, he's probably not winning it any time soon, because there's a logjam at the top of that card. But he's a reliable hand who you can turn to in a pinch. Why would he leave that to play wrestling action figure for TK? (I don't think he's hurting for money folks.)
That line should have killed but the Cody kids and their soccer moms had no idea what it meant
I’m tired of watching WWE trying to recapture the moment of Sami Zayn vs Gunther in Wrestlemania 40.
That was a mistake to have Gunther drop the Intercontinental belt to Sami Zayn.
Gunther should’ve dropped to Bron, not Sami.
Gable should win at WM
@@brucewhite360 - that’s right.
Thank you for reminding me.
What you mean recapture. They have unfinished business. Gunther and gable has been done
"Same Zayn". Title needs changing.
I'd be scared of typoing Sami Zayn's name, WWE Games did it on an X post and they got eviscerated about a week ago by 2 X posts Sami made completely mocking their media manager (and it was Sami Zane so not as bad as 'Same Zayn')
@@teecakes Ah so scary
Yes
I agree with Cornett on Sammy. He definitely is
With Jey winning the intercontinental championship, what if they pull the trigger and have Sami win the world?
Axel Dieter Jr. > Kaiser
Finally, now people can stop crying about Jim not talking about this until now
He said that Sami is better at making something out of the material he's given funny how it wasn't that long ago he was saying the same thing about Owens when he was the Canadian asshole to Texas. I feel bad in saying this but cornette is starting to just say shit because theirs really nothing to critique when it comes to WWE programing
BOUT FUCKING TIME!!!
Gunther wrong for that 😂
Sorry but disagree this time, not an Owen's fan but think he offers more to the casual/new type of fan than Sammy does 😱
I got 💰 on the mighty Cornberg
It’s hilarious how much Jim hates the ass off of Steen. I agree
I will never understand why Corny hates KO
They used to work together in ROH and Kevin has called out Cornette on his booking.
Sammy Zayn reminds me a lot of Daniel Bryan...a guy that is an Everyman the fans really like. I think Sammy is going to get a Daniel Bryan level Yes! push.
He already did during the Bloodline feud it was just bad timing because Cody came back from his injury and won the Royal Rumble if it wasn't for that he would've had that WM match against Roman still would've lost tho but at the time he was over like Daniel Bryan.
@@tyyrreekk9005 Sami needs to beat a legend to win a world championship and not someone who came in WWE at a similar time. Just like how Daniel Bryan beat all of Evolution excluding Ric Flair to win a world championship
@@j86485A legend like who tho?
Took you guys long enough this was WEEKS ago
I'm a Sami Zayn guy.
Why do you like Sami Zayn over Jey Uso 🤦♂️
