The Kevin Owens heel turn. WWE shot an angle without using wwe production. KO and Cody arguing outside, knowing full well fans are going to record it and upload it to social media. It made the whole incident feel real.
Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it Champ 💪 #1. Simon Miller becomes champion 🤘💪 #2. Allie Katch turns on Effy 😮 #3. Abadon returns to ROH 🤘 #4. Ethan Page debuts in NXT 👏 #5. Toni Storm retirement 😭
Cody finishing the story was such an amazing moment! That match was over poker sports entertainment at its finest. The Codyvengers finally coming together to put the bloodline down was pure cinema
@@BryRobinson SHOW ME A minute where he says it's his opinion. You are just adding up your narration that is wrong. Propably being a spoiled kid is better then being dumb like you
The fakest most transparent story? Guy left a loser, people crapped on AEW, Cody comes back and everyone is all of a sudden the hottest thing in wrestling? Wrestlemania was dope for the shenanigans though.
Tam Road Part 2: Tam Nakano winning back the World Of Stardom Championship almost a full year after suffering a severe knee injury that caused her to relinquish the belt originally, beating the very person she was wrestling when she sufferered the injury itself. It was such a feel good moment not only because, along with help from her Cosmic Angels teammates, she overcame the champion Natsuko Tora and HATE(figuratively and literally), but also because of the what she went through both physically and mentally while she was recovering.
12:23 So personally I think Nigel's waiting for Danielson to be ready to come back. Remember Danielson said he was Semi retiring not retiring completely. So I think what brings him out of retirement is Nigel challenging him.
l LOVED Wyatt Sicks' debut. I can't understand why they haven't wrestled again since. Best debut of the year followed up by a whole lot of nothing. They felt more present when they were just being teased.
It really is amazing right?! The guy VKM wouldn't let outta a garbage gimmick that Cody still gave his all to, is the Top guy in WWE. After helping to start AEW, & having the crowd turn on him. Same Guy in AEW, Same Gimmick, Music, Gear, etc is the Top Star in Pro Wrestling. Great Work by Rhodes.
First Paul Heyman returns (with CM Punk in tow) before one of Simon's videos a week or two ago, now he's saying Drew hasn't been seen since Hell in a Cell a week after the attack on Jey. Poor, poor Simon.
I’ll say it. #1 should’ve been the Mania press conference, if not for that moment we don’t get heel rock, and we don’t get Cody finishing his story. That slap shocked the world and changed everything.
40:43 only 55,000 people at All In at Wembley where you can seat over 93,000 for a football match and if you put seats on the pitch that should be at least 100,000. So All In basically had 45-50,000 empty seats! Almost half of Wembley Stadium was empty that’s piss poor
33:49 I'm glad that you clarified that he is ALLEGEDLY El Generico. There are far too many people that just assume they are the same person just because they look similar, one's career started just as the other one ended, they both have a strong relation to Kevin Owens and use similar moves. I mean what ACTUAL evidence is there to prove that they are the same person?
There is one mistake that the WWE made with Jacob Fatu--they put him in a tag team with Tama Tonga. 1) They were sitting on a gold mine. Guerilas of Destiny is one of the best tag teams of all time. At one point they dominated the NJPW tag division 2) Jacob Fatu always should have been a singles guy 3) Tanga Loa sucks as a singles guy. Thankfully they did a course correction on this.
2:11 let’s hope there was no more petrol/gasoline left in the can by Hangman’s foot as there was a trail of petrol and fire going towards Hangman’s chair. Tony Khan “I’m sorry but the Hangman Page feud is over as Adam was legitimately burnt to death during the house burning stunt. All our thoughts are with my legal team who are trying to keep AEW’s doors still open”
When you were talking about how good Jacob Fatu's introduction I started thinking about how they basically did the same thing for the motor city machine guns. They debuted, had a couple great matches, and won the tag titles off the bloodline. In just a couple weeks they went from people saying "I've only watched WWE, who are these guys?" To feeling like the seasoned contenders they are. And even now that they've been dethroned they still feel like a force to be reckoned with.
He was a Rosebud and a Russian MC for Rusev and Lana in a couple of those retroactive "wait a minute! That was..." type moments you get from watching older shows (like Becky, Braun, Joe Coffey, The Vaudevillains also being Rosebuds for Adam Rose, hilariously)...
16:08 Its not such a wild exaggerating.. I'm probly the only person who goes out to the bar and puts on wrestling. So I gotta defend myself and the business very often. Shakespeare is a term I use very often when defending rasslin'.
I don't DISlike Bronson Reed, but I'm not exactly clamoring to buy his merch. I worry about him because his legs look like he's fighting Venous Stasis Dermatitis. Reed isn't an idiot and I'm sure he's often under surveillance by WWE medical, but if he has any leg injuries, he's going to be out 2-3 times longer with VSD than without. I hope Reed is able to recover without needing extreme surgery.
And you know it's an 'E' drone when they bitch and moan about AEW getting any sort of props Can't have that in the IWC after all, it's 'shit on AEW 24/7' around here right? 🙄
lol I knew this channel was filled with aew shills, but putting anything but Cody, Rock, Seth and Roman at WM40 as number is the biggest L this channel ever had 😂
#1 and #2 should have been switched. That ending to WM40 was all-time, it was easily the best moment of the year. Kinda eye-rolling that WhatCulture had to put an AEW moment at the top.
If everything/everybody gets over in WWE (if the fans cheer for everything) then does any of it even matter? Because let's be honest, WWE fans would cheer plate tectonics because they're trained to cheer anything like a bunch of goofy seals.
THIS!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 (and I'm a fan of ALL wrestling, the difference is that I'M willing to admit that WWE/AEW aren't perfect....unlike the 'E' shills who insist that everything their precious Fed does is solid gold)
TBH even though Okada's Main event run was stale in NJPW he did that in NJPW. Most America PW fans dont watch NJPW AND Therefore havent been exposed to Okada before. Having him play a comedy role just makes me think "Wheres the guy I heard all the hardcore fans going on about? This guy's a joke!"
If WWE was a more successful company than ÀEW in most if not all aspects of the business, then why not give them their 🎉.. let Cody be as his story was the most compelling in pro wrestling in many years.
Thank God that Simon did this list & not Andy who did the Worst Moments List. Andy sucks at doing List Videos same as he also sucks at doing News Videos.
Sorry Simon, but I must STRONGLY disagree about the Bryan Danielson angle. Too many, ... not so smart, people and especially kids copy wrestling. I'm far from a "clutch the pearls" person, but putting a plastic bag over someone's head is way too easy to copy and could have real-life deadly consequences! Tell me you can't see a big brother doing that to a little brother, because sadly I can.😢
For any wrestling fan who survived the last 15 years or so the last few years have been so needed. We’re living in another golden age.
Amen to that 🙏🏿‼️

The Kevin Owens heel turn.

Hell of a year when arson is just #25.
Simon you made a mistake. You said Adam Page turned heel when in actuality Hangman did nothing wrong
I feel like the Wyatt Sicks debut should have been higher up, that debut was magic and made perfect.
Christian is one the best heels ive ever seen. I mean, even in the attitude era this guy would shock everyone
What hurts me , is to watch those best OF 2024 , when I feel like Wrestlemania was one month ago only
Simon give yourself a Golden Up and keep smashing it Champ 💪
#1. Simon Miller becomes champion 🤘💪
#2. Allie Katch turns on Effy 😮
#3. Abadon returns to ROH 🤘
#4. Ethan Page debuts in NXT 👏
#5. Toni Storm retirement 😭
Sting should be number 1. A legend of his stature hardly ever goes out on top like that.
Cody finishing the story was such an amazing moment! That match was over poker sports entertainment at its finest. The Codyvengers finally coming together to put the bloodline down was pure cinema
Should’ve been # 1
How tf Cody isnt #1? Its propably the biggest moment in 10 years of wrestling, finish to the best Wrestlemania ever...
I agree bud but Simon Miller n his boss self
@@BryRobinson SHOW ME A minute where he says it's his opinion. You are just adding up your narration that is wrong. Propably being a spoiled kid is better then being dumb like you
The fakest most transparent story?
Guy left a loser, people crapped on AEW, Cody comes back and everyone is all of a sudden the hottest thing in wrestling? Wrestlemania was dope for the shenanigans though.
Agreed
Because Cody is a mid card talent, still piggybacking off his Main event dad's name.
Good year for wrestling, man. I'm excited to see what the Netflix era will bring, even if there are a few growing pains.
And HBO MAX Era
Just goes to show how amazing wrestling is right now!! Love it all!!
Wrestling is on fire right now
Just like Swerve's house.
Drew had all the best moments. Karrion Kross has also been killing it. And then we have the New Day. All amazing.
Cody and Sami wins legitimately made me cry.
Great call on that Sami brain buster being in the building was an amazing but very cold moment 😭😭
I'm so happy I could be there for #8. The feel in the arena at the end of the show was unreal.
I was there too it was wild
If this list was 1 week later we could have seen Big E making it to the list...
You can't mention Hangmans heel turn without one word: mustache
"The death of Bryan Danielson" and "hell on earth" on best list sounds so wrong 😂
Great stuff all the way...honorable mention goes to Bianca and Jade meeting each other at the Royal Rumble...
Simon you missed a very important one. Simon Miller wins the Proteus Championship!
Lost me at Jey winning the belt over Hangman burning down Swerves house lol
HIAC criminally low and Cody winning below Danielson match. Truly a Whatculture moment.
Great videooooooo, some great momeeeeeents. Can’t wait for next yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaar
News flash! 24 days left in the year!
Yeah, this is my issue with whatculture and year end lists. They record them so far in advance, they end up out of date and missing all of December.
I love you wrestling psychopat Bryan Danielson
Tam Road Part 2: Tam Nakano winning back the World Of Stardom Championship almost a full year after suffering a severe knee injury that caused her to relinquish the belt originally, beating the very person she was wrestling when she sufferered the injury itself. It was such a feel good moment not only because, along with help from her Cosmic Angels teammates, she overcame the champion Natsuko Tora and HATE(figuratively and literally), but also because of the what she went through both physically and mentally while she was recovering.
3:58 Having “The Death Of Bryan Danielson” as a top moment of 2024 sounds heartless when taken out of context
Am I the only person curious to see Jones Cena vs tanahashi before they both retire
Did Simon just causally reveal Joe Hendry is in the Royal Rumble!? 😂
3:07 who knew carlito playing ps5 was gonna be #1
12:23 So personally I think Nigel's waiting for Danielson to be ready to come back. Remember Danielson said he was Semi retiring not retiring completely. So I think what brings him out of retirement is Nigel challenging him.
The voiceover is rough to listen to - uptalk is rough
I love comedy Okada
l LOVED Wyatt Sicks' debut. I can't understand why they haven't wrestled again since. Best debut of the year followed up by a whole lot of nothing. They felt more present when they were just being teased.
31:24 - is that you refereeing, Mr King? 😮😉
I'll never forget that suplex Toby Keith hit in TNA 🔥🤘🙏
It was a Suplex (with assistance from other wrestlers); and it's *Toby* Keith...
@tomseville2345 your exactly right I fixed it 🤣
I love heel Okada. His shit-eating grin is on point!
AM SO SOORRIYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY xD
The best moment of 2024 was the french audience at Backlash
If you didnt love and enjoy the Okada "I pushed the wrong button" skit, we can't be friends.
It really is amazing right?! The guy VKM wouldn't let outta a garbage gimmick that Cody still gave his all to, is the Top guy in WWE. After helping to start AEW, & having the crowd turn on him. Same Guy in AEW, Same Gimmick, Music, Gear, etc is the Top Star in Pro Wrestling. Great Work by Rhodes.
Simon flubbed up. He should have acknowledged himself and winning his first championship as #1
No R-Truth is crazy😭😭
My finish of the year goes to Nia and Lyra. Ending was epic
First Paul Heyman returns (with CM Punk in tow) before one of Simon's videos a week or two ago, now he's saying Drew hasn't been seen since Hell in a Cell a week after the attack on Jey.
Poor, poor Simon.
I really enjoyed wm40. Cody finally finishing the story was a great moment. When he handed his mother the wwe title. I wept like a baby.
I’ll say it.
#1 should’ve been the Mania press conference, if not for that moment we don’t get heel rock, and we don’t get Cody finishing his story. That slap shocked the world and changed everything.
No acknowledgement of TNA's official return and continuing rising? A shame, though not surprised.
Sm bisd😅😅
Mike Bailey Vs. Mustafa Ali at Slammiversary was one of 2024's greatest wrestling moments and should be talked about a lot more.
no one cares about tna
40:43 only 55,000 people at All In at Wembley where you can seat over 93,000 for a football match and if you put seats on the pitch that should be at least 100,000. So All In basically had 45-50,000 empty seats! Almost half of Wembley Stadium was empty that’s piss poor
As much of a mess the civil war story line was, experience DoN for my first wrestling anarchy and the cage match was just perfect for me
Is this a new thing where Simon elongates the end of every sentence. Or is it a whatculture thing to extend the video? It’s driving me nuts.
Hangman isn’t a great promo, but I think he does excellent character work
33:49 I'm glad that you clarified that he is ALLEGEDLY El Generico. There are far too many people that just assume they are the same person just because they look similar, one's career started just as the other one ended, they both have a strong relation to Kevin Owens and use similar moves. I mean what ACTUAL evidence is there to prove that they are the same person?
Ah yes all 900 people go absolutely insane when Okada comes out.
You look like your parents were siblings. Lay off of AEW.
@ sorry for triggering you bud. But AEW is utter tripe.

Has Doublle J been killing people for the benefit of future promos all along?
I haven't watched any of these videos in a long time.. What the hell is this style of talking with the drawn out words? So distracting
ZSJ didn't even make the cut?! 😢😢😢😢
Breakout indie wrestler of 2024 should be Noah Veil from Florida
Simon makes videos very entertaining ❤😅
Julia Hart was on 🔥🔥is she injured still so young her willow hook mjf Sammy n darbiy

21:09 i mean Joe Hendry has been in WWE before (WWEUK)
He was a Rosebud and a Russian MC for Rusev and Lana in a couple of those retroactive "wait a minute! That was..." type moments you get from watching older shows (like Becky, Braun, Joe Coffey, The Vaudevillains also being Rosebuds for Adam Rose, hilariously)...
I agree that Bryan and Cody moments are interchangeable. Bryan is my goat so for me I loved it. The last 5-10 minutes were insane too
16:08 Its not such a wild exaggerating.. I'm probly the only person who goes out to the bar and puts on wrestling. So I gotta defend myself and the business very often. Shakespeare is a term I use very often when defending rasslin'.

L of a list. Geez. Toni Storm number 5? If u ask every wrestling fan in the world their top 10 moments of the year no one is saying Toni Storm lmao
I’m shocked that Cody winning at Mania isn’t number 1.
