Pretty cool of WWE to induct both Diesel's on the same night. . .
Just why lol
LMAOO
Technically Diesel is in like 4 times now.
And also* inducted sepparately both members of a tag team that held the world tag team championships, in Kane and rvd.
*although not really, because they inducted Kevin Nash with the nwo, and not any diesel, but oh well, specifics...
What have you got to say for yourself well I said haahaa LOLOLOL
Rob Van Dam and Matt Riddle should be a tag team, that makes perfect sense
It does! Legit martial arts training? Check, Dudebro personalities? Check, stoned? Check! Let's see this WWE!
They would be called The High Flyers
Titus O'Neil is a goddam Saint and you can't argue against that!
I can but i cba
That Kane tribute to seeing red by Chevelle was epic.. gave me more goosebumps than his pyro
They did that 😱
Same. Super nostalgic.
Got a link? 😭
@@decimationjones2342 Yes and it was definitely a must see. If there was any moment of the hof that hits you in the feels it was definitely that
"That's gotta be Kane" one of the most iconic WWF/E lines ever well deserved H.O.F for the Big Red Machine🔥🔥🔥
I'm just glad Liger made it in. That man is a damn superhero and deserves to be in every wrestling HoF. 2019 was about as good of a final year as a wrestler can have, and honestly, if you saw those matches, the man looks like he could have still gone another ten years without falling off! What he was doing in his 50's, a lot of dudes in their 20's can't!
Without Liger, cruiserweight wrestling doesn't exist really.
You are 10,000% correct! The man is insanely awesome and one of the few wrestlers that made unmasking into gold.
My only problem with Eric Bishop going in the HOF is that he should have went in with the N.W.O.
He deserved to go in as a single and as part of the NWO.
Or he should of gotten two rings
Nah, him joining the NWO was late into thier iconic run. By time he joined NWO was well on top of the wrestling world. Hall and Nash hogan and 123 kid is the NWO. Anybody after that was a bandwagon hopper. I would only argue Ted debiosi because I remember the day I became really interested in NWO. It was when he came out and sat in the audience and indicated with his hands that not only was he a member but next week we would get a forth member and this was before Hogan joined. It was iconic.
The N.W.O was formed July 7, 1996 Eric Bishop joined November 18th 1996 Also have to add how the bullied him before hand so when it was shown he was apart of it all along it was a little bit of a shocker and Waltman was only technically in it for 2 months before him
@@kxwhyknot8314 and Hulk Hogan joined July 7, 1996 Waltman didn't show up till September 16, 1996
Kane and RVD was my favorite team when I was younger. It was great seeing them go into the HOF the same year.
Okay... JBL faking the apology was a genius HEEL move on his behalf. Y’all can’t talk about wrestlers not keeping up with kayfab & then give JBL a down for doing exactly that!
Exactly, also he's apologised to the people involved so the only bad blood left is with the fans. Doesn't condone what he did but damn, move on yeah?
Apologies are garbage. "Hey I got away by acting like a bully forever but.... sowwy. I'm sowwy I did that." Boom, he isn't a pile of crap now?
Was coming here to post exactly this! JBL, with the way he retired and the way he went into the HOF, proves that he will keep kayfabe alive
I’m DEAD at “...Snoop Dogg”😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I swear on everything I love, I said to myself I highly doubt Simon would do an Ups & Downs for the Hall Of Fame, and yet here we are 😂
Me too
Then you don't know Whatculture 😅 They'll probably make 5 videos about the HOF ceremony in the next day
Because they are out of vintage ideas
i was also thinking last night that i would doubt that simon would make a hof ups and downs but glad im wrong
Molly Holly. Probably my favorite female wrestler from the WWE. She is just amazing and people did not appreciate her. And my not-so-secret super crush the whole time...
I had major crush on her too .
Put me in that club too!
Honestly Shad Gaspard should've got Warrior Award this year
Maybe next year
Eric did a little tribute to Rosey and Jamal, two of the most underrated big men in WWE history. 3 Minute Warning were great as the henchmen to the evil Eric Bischoff when he was GM. Loved it.
JBL's sign off was perfection lol
Kane deserved the Hall of Fame. Happy for him. Such a legend in the WWE.
Simon could be a new character that combines Isaac Yankem and The Big Red Machine...He could be Nova-Kane....😉
That is a hilarious one 🤣. Isn't the NWO are already inducted when HHH vs Sting happend?
When they piped in “one more match” at the end of the bellas speech I thought nobody wants that.
Didn't watch but I'm hearing the one more match chant for them and seeing the everyone hated that fallout meme.
No not one more match for Bella twins 🤦♂️. Nobody wants that. They took over the WWE tv show. Total Bellas. That was supposed to be for ALL WWE women.. they are crambed down our throats. They aren't that beautiful (Bella). Too much plastic and make up and stuck up.
One more match if it's nude in creamed corn or something
i didn't know you were going to do one of these for the Hall of Fame, but I'm totally delighted. Thanks, Simon !
Did anyone else miss inductors? I always liked hearing their stories about who is being inducted.
Kane was the best part of this hall of fame bu far 🔥🔥🔥
Cool to see Paul Boesch in the HOF. There was an urban legend for years that he was Gino Hernandez father. He was a great promoter out of Texas. Very happy to see Dr. Death in as well. All of them very well deserved!
I’m actually stunned it took this long given his connections to Pritchard
Too bad most of these noobs don't know these guys!
It would be great if they put Gino Hernandez in the Hall of Fame, too.
@@thelinedrive Well Bruce told a story on Back to the Territories with Corny about how Vince went to take over the territory and Paul and his son messed up a lot. They also thought it would be fair they got to keep the whole gate to the last show they did. Guess Vince held a grudge for a while about that.
Justin thunder liger is the greatest jr of all time. One of the most innovative and decorated champions ever. He deserves to be in any and every wrestling hof there is. I think wwe should add an international section for guys like liger muta misawa etc.
Great Khali went in the HoF bcoz he opened up the Indian market for WWE. There were people who watched it before him but majority of people actually tuned in too see the Indian wrestler who made it to the big leagues.
Now we understand that he wasn't that great in the ring, but as a kid who started watching bcoz of him never felt that.
TBH that sums up the entire WWE system, they don't necessarily require you to have good in-ring skills if you can bring eyes to the product.
There are plenty of talented Indian wrestlers they could have used instead of Khali. No excuse for hiring a guy who had no business being involved in a wrestling match.
@@Rocket1377 name one
Priyanka Chopra would probably bring eyes to the product...Not sure I'd want to see her in the ring against Shayna or Nia....
@@eliseoalejos1865 but a lot of people will. It's exactly like Bad Bunny's case.
Khali brought it without being a celebrity beforehand.
@@fantomagnik there are none. The one's who are actually good at wrestling are representing the nation in amateur wrestling. Although I heard one of the retired one joined PC.
Simon should do ups and downs of how his day went
I enjoyed 3 Minute Warning Too they will be missed.
Yeah I loved that gimmick. Priest Bischoff saying “did I just hear myself say 3 minutes” during the Billy and Chuck wedding is one of my biggest Mark out moments ever.
@@Thecallmemisterajp that's one of my earliest memories of when I started watching wrestling.
I liked their entrance theme! 👍
@@JWS1985 I hate they edited it on Network -_- and I like that song too
I love Kane’s ending to his speech!
Titus O'Neil is a damn hero dude. I heard his story a few years back and he is phenomenal. He had every brick wall put in front of him and he DESTROYED every single one of them. I love that guy.
Disagreed. The laugh was the best part of JBL's speech. Who knows how he really personally feels. This was him staying in character, and KILLING it.
You aren't the only one, Simon.... I LOVED Three Minute Warning!
“Did you just say... 3 minutes?!” The Billy/Chick Wedding angle was great!
"Hulk Hogan has some real creeper vibes" - quote from my daughter
Not wrong, honestly
She knows how to read people
So heartwarming to see all the Speeches, especially Kane RVD and Eric Bishoff and Molly.❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️
I though Molly was trying to say whatever she had remembered.
If you were the "New Kane", you could team up with Kane and be the "Co-Kanes". Wait....
I laughed way to hard at this lol
3rd member can be Koko B. Ware with a pimp cane
Rob Van Dam is my favorite wrestler of all time. Forever and ever. He deserves this times a million, dude. I love that guy, dude.
Congrats to Both of the Hall of Fame classes of 2020 & 2021 well deserved
Thank goodness someone just put a nice comment.well done Frank.
@@gary.s5322 thanks alot i appreciate it u know how people can be stupid
Eric Bischoff didn’t tank WCW, the Time Warner merger did.
Bischoff was responsible for WCW's greatest successes, but due to the contracts and concessions that he gave to wrestlers to get there, he was also responsible for the over-spending that then led to WCW's financial failings and eventual demise.
@@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf I don’t think so, Jamie Kellner was so stuck up he thought he was too good for wrestling
Right!!
Why call him New Kane when you could call him Novo-Kane.
Too close to his previous gimmick (dentist)
Kane is in the Hall of Fame: It doesn't just get an up, it gets a Golden Up
Bella Twins in HOF before Kane: it doesn't just get a down, it gets a Brown Down. Not jus a Brown Down a twin Brown Down.
I'm still upset Luna was inducted into the WWE as a legacy
Nobody cares
@@bmark7951 shut up Mark
@@bmark7951 Wrong, mark
Why?
Same, but Stan Stasiak. The guy was literally WWE Champion ffs.
Why are people so upset the Bella Twins are in? My family was into wrestling and I watched Total divas and started watching wrestling because I wanted to be like the Bellas, they're good role models for girls. They deserve their induction.
Because people just like to find stuff to bitch about. They obviously helped change the woman's division.
@Uh oh It's not just one person's that started it, They all contributed. Also did you not read what this person said or hear Simon's point? The Bellas help bring a new generation of female support, none wwe fans. They helped spike woman viewership which then helped grow interest in the woman's division. They where part old school Diva part new school athlete, they help start the transition while AJ helped to finish the transition into total athlete leaving the old idea about what female wrestlers are in the rear view.
@Uh oh That's all people have to say about AJ whenever the discredit the Bellas, come with something different. Brianna and Nicole deserve their induction, period.
@Uh oh and what did AJ do to deserve it. Stop trying to put down the Bellas to build AJ up, no amount of whining can take the Bellas out of the HOF.
@Uh oh Even if they did suck up to the right people, how is that your business or your problem? is it affecting you in life? either way they still had an impact on the women's division and are great role models for young girls and they brought in young viewers and girls who liked watching Total Divas/Bellas.
RVD’s speech was one of the most genuine and likeable Hall Of Fame Speeches I’ve ever heard
RVD=REAL VALID DUMBASS
I feel sorry for Titus O'Neil because he is not featured 😢 in wwe.
I see what you mean, but look at it this way: at least he's not risking injury week in week out and also he's doing something much, much more valuable. I'd love to be a wrestler but I'd rather be in titus' position. I think he's doing pretty well for himself and others, and the fact he doesn't wrestle or appear regularly in the shows just means he probably can keep doing what he's doing for a longer time, in theory.
@@miguelheat what is he doing now?
@@Cnut_the_grape you would have to ask him directly. I don't keep track of what other people do by the minute. If you're referring to what I was referring to, watch his hall of fame segment
I liked the long rambling speeches and the inductees, expecially from long retired or if not retired, long past their prime wrestlers. It really gave you a sense of their career and their importance in wrestling history.
Shad gaspard should've gotten the warrior award
Why? Titus O'Neil deserves it for all the charity work he does yes it was sad and amazing how Shad died but why take away from the accolades that Titus has done consistently over the years that's just my personal opinion... what's yours?
@@josephcarl4167 I'm not taking away from the outside public work that titus does and I do remember the prime time players but more than likely he's gonna be affiliated with wwe for a while so he could've gotten it next year while shad isn't here anymore and doing the heroic thing he did should've made him a shoe in for it this
Simon, I had NO interest in watching the HOFs... But after I saw Titus (BIG TITUS O'NEIL FAN HERE) won the Warrior award and You said he speech was awesome and inspirational I paused you and watched it right then. I cried for real (happy tears) for like the WHOLE 9 MINUTES of the whole thing. ACES!!! Thank you for the suggestion (Was going t0 watch anyways because you mentioned Titus won) Appreciate all the Ups and Downs! Stay awesome!
Lmao “Hulk, nobody wants to see you have another run..” 😂 Simon you’re funny
A run? More like a hobbled crawl.
What, do you WANT to see Hulk Hogan do another wrestling run?
No i dont Wandt to se hogan wrestling agin buth maybe some a Manger to sombody
I'm two minutes in and this is already one of the best ups and downs to date 😁
So awesome to see RVD and Kane in the hall of fame. Got into wrestling in 2002 and these two guys were my absolute favorites. Couldn’t think of two guys more deserving in my book
Hopefully kane & taker get their proper goodbyes at mania!
Why can’t we get double digit ups on the regular shows? This is a rarity!
Well maybe WWE should give us more things that deserve ups lol
Ask wwe take make more exciting stuff.
Cause this aint a rerun of a cartoon
Kane, I love you, but I’ll never be that successful.
The Bellas in the Hall Of Fame: Super Brown Down.
Be the sweetest wrestler: Sugar Kane
I agree Simon. 3 Minute Warning was awesome. And such a banger of a theme. "3 minutes and an hour to kill!"
I’m surprised Kevin Nash didn’t tear his quad out there. That gets a golden up.
Simon will look like The Wizard in the Sky when he is 90 years old! 🧙🏼♂️💪🏻👆🏻
This was a very depressing HOF I think they deserve a crowd, and someone inducting them as oppose to a video package and then having them come out for their speech. :(
Who can anyone say Eric bischof doesn't deserve this? Without him think about the stiff we wouldn't have today. No goldberg,no nwo, no rey mysterio......near endless list of SUPERstars
The dude fired Lita for not posing for playboy
@@ashwinirabidas9080 that's definitely a stroke against him forsure. But he did so much else to deserve this
The endless superstars was wasted because of him, if they didn't jump ship etc they wouldn't be superstar as we know them now, only real good think he did was Goldberg and nwo apart from that he caused so much trouble, I do think he should be in the hall of fame because he is apart of history even though the wwe Hall of fame means nothing
@@pooldead7712 he still made them relevent in the eyes of the wwe at the time
@@ashwinirabidas9080 source?
I just Love Kane. One of the best.
actually adonis got his head buzzed by beefcake at wrestlemania 3 and then thats how beefcake became the barber. so technically there were 3 people who got their heads shaved at mania
Adonis got about one fifth of his head shaved. It was the most botched shave since Louis XIV.
You're not alone Simon! 13 year old me loved 3 Minute Warning, they were so intimidating and being Bishoff's henchmen was a great gimmick for them.
Jushin ‘Thunder’ Liger is an absolute legends, his inspiring come back after.. what’s that a brain tumor! Isn’t something to be inspired from I don’t know what is. Both Liger and Titus have shown us that anything is possible, and those who have the ability to persevere are capable of accomplishing anything.
I love kane his a amazing guy
Agree about Titus, 3 minute warning, and Kane. Thank you Simon.
Golden up for Simon's tie
Brown Down for the America peacock jokes😒
I met Kane in 2004 right before WrestleMania XX. I'm glad I did.
I respect you dressing up to the occasion Simon! Great tie dude.
Your ups and downs for Wrestlemania would be cool if it started with a different intro...Great work guys 👍🏿
That kane package was awesome with chevelle
Shatner was the only one that really interested me to be honest. Not really a NWO guy
I died laughing at the end of the JBL bit. Loved it.
I actually think the JBL fake apology was a great bit, I’m sure everyone who was affected by him has gotten over it by now and would’ve probably respected his ability to stay within kayfabe throughout all these years. I think you were a bit sensitive Simon.
I agree that 3 minute warning was awesome
I would've paid money for Easy E to come out to NwO as well.
Kane doing the pyro was the best thing. Made me all warm and fuzzy!
And also - New Kane is already there - Fiend
I had to laugh when I saw Buffy (Matilida's granddaughter) start moving around the podium. U can see the poor dog just thinking "GET ME OFF THIS SLIPPERY TABLE!"
You're not alone I LOVED 3 Minute Warning and Erik Bischoffs antics in regards. Remember the wedding and Bischoff being the 150 year old pastor? ATTITUDE ERA GOLD.
Thank you Simon I definitely agree with you about Titus O'Neil
I miss watching the Slammy Awards.
congrats to the hall of famers!! thank you for giving us a show!!
Your a great host for this channel. 👍👍
simons point about the thunderdome etc at the end was soo funny!
And you'll make it to 120 Simon!
Did they really induct wwe’s lawyer into the hall of fame with the warrior award and not shad gaspard who gave his own life for his son? Unreal.
3 minute was awesome, I'm with you Simon
Upvote if you also loved 3 Minute Warning. Let's show Simon he's not alone.
This guy could power a small town with his hand movements.
Shad, truest babyface ever, hero, should've had warrior award at least.
I also loved 3 minute warning. You're not alone.
JBL gets a career-defining down.
I love how they made rvd wear glasses 💀
Cause he smokes weed! Haha 🙌🏾
@@Robdoesitall but when he came back in 2011 u could tell he was high asf when he went to the ring it didnt matter plus it was a virtual crowd lol
@@jakedelph2685 correction he came back for a one off royal rumble appprence in 2011
they made him?
@@MephProduction I mean why else would he wear glasses in door he's rvd every one knows he's high like a 5 star frog splash but at the same time Vince was prolly like COVER HIS EYES DAMNIT
😂😂😂What a tie Simon Miller is wearing here!🤣🤣🤣
The 2nd Kane/new Kane line made me spit out my breakfast 🤣
I honestly loved how he made the man and the character as two separate people it was hilarious!
When he said Snoop Dogg I lost it 😂
Start doing ups and downs for 205 live!
I loved 3 minute warning as well.
It's honestly amazing that everybody in the thumbnail is still alive.
Molly Holly, RVD, and Kane were my favorites.
You’re not the only fan of 3 minute warning, Simon. Our forum at SmashWrestling used to live-watch Raw together and apart from the 3MW fun, support and jokes, Umaga’s later debut led to well over a page of near simultaneous posts saying “Is that Jamal???”
