WWF protected Snuka who was a murderer. WWF protected Moolah as she was a human trafficker. It's been going on for decades. Always gets tossed under the rug.
@mjstory1976 Neither of them died innocent, Snuka was literally arrested for it until Vince came in with a briefcase and had a private meeting with the police and then miraculously charges were dropped , Dozens of former wrestlers accused moolah of all of that but they never once acknowledged it with several other wrestlers being pressured to defend her
WWE said both Eddie Fatu (Umaga) and Eddie Guerreros deaths were due to heart failure. What the WWE failed to mention was that it was due to a drug overdose
Jim Cornete said that Eddie had heart problems caused by steroids, so I guess that can kinds count as drugs death? But overdose? The man died while brushing his teeth, what kind of drug overdoed allows you to brush your teeth dur8ng it? Lol
@@extremeking425”was” being the key word. As in when he first passed. The entire wrestling community was shocked. No one knew the full story until the autopsy reports.
I find it hilarious how some folks wanna come in here, & say they don't blame WWE for not acknowledging Umaga's death because it would bring bad publicity to the company! Yet, sexual harassment, bullying, steroids, covering up murders, ect, is okay, & is a good look for the company? 🤔
@@mjstory1976except Snuka himself practically admitted it when he at one point said that Vince had a briefcase and had a private closed door meeting with the police and then miraculously the charges were dropped
@paranoidewok6772 kinda his fault tho for not taking care of his body, wwe helped, he refused help. Imagine refusing someone, he went in business for himself
That's not fact , and part of it is that it's not all of this stuff was fact or found to be true or even proven so it'd be stupid to comment on something with an ongoing investigation or they may not fully know or have to even disclose . Anybody , literally anyone can say you did something to them . Legally , they'd have to investigate it - so people should comment on you without knowing the full or court / case verdict truth ?
When I was a kid I loved Umaga. I was still at that age where I didn't understand WWE was just a show, and Umaga was the most terrifying wrestler on the card that and Khali. When I finally realized it was just a show, it saddened me that I never saw Umaga again because he became one of the first heel's that I loved to watch. I didn't even know he died until I asked Dad about it.
Except Stevie Richards has stated that is a load of crap. The whole "receipt" thing was not only planned between him and JBL but JBL made up the idea and insisted on it.
He knew he deserved it. He had a few too many the night he beat Blue Meanie up (you can clearly see he's tipsy in the stands). So he probably said yeah... give me my receipt, I deserve it.
Another one that deserves to be mentioned is the death of Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's girlfriend in 1983. It has been speculated that Vince knew about it back then, but helped cover it up to avoid losing one of his popular wrestlers, and as we know, by the time Snuka finally did get prosecuted, he got let off due to his mental condition, and he was even given a small tribute after he passed even though he had been deleted from the HOF and Tamina had been forbidden to use the name Snuka over it.
WWE ghosting Umaga's passing surprised me, in a bad way. The dude was literally under contract with the company, and they had *nothing* to say about him on TV.
*I really miss Mauro Ranallo. He was such a phenomenal commentator, who always sound very convincing when he was talking. He most definitely was way better commentator than Michael Cole.*
@@patrickfinnegan7489Get your head straight buddy that catchphrase is and will forever be iconic I don't know you personally but you sound jealous of his success shame
Hogan wasn't wrong for what he did to Richard Belzer, the guy asked to be put in a front facelock, all Hogan did was squeeze. It's not Hogan's fault that the guy was an idiot, it's like going to a BJJ academy telling people that they are full of s*** and challenging them to put you in a guillotine, and then trying to sue the place because you got put to sleep
Hogan was backed into a corner. The wrestling business was extremely protective of itself and people were constantly calling it out as fake etc, so Hogan couldn't pretend to put the lock on Belzer. It was all in or not at all and continue to be called fake. Hogan's mistake was not lowering Belzer to the ground and instead, just letting him drop.
@@bestintheworld568 Honestly even if he could have pretended, he shouldn't have. And yes, it was a mistake for Hogan to let him drop, but Belzer over reacted! This should have been solved by having him request an apology from Hogan, not a lawsuit
It's not just WWE , I've noticed that most American companies really want all the messaging to be positive and negative stories are either flat out ignored or someone gets paid off quickly to keep quite.
So Roman Reigns leaves right after the Covid pandemic, comes back a few months later, and wins the Universal title, currently holding it hostage ever since. Do I have that right?
Dropped the ball again, it's not Roman they were worried about upsetting, it was his cousin and the reason why Jax is back and "Ava" has a job. The Rock is the 1 they don't want to upset. He can do more damage by trashing the WWE than Roman ever could, not to take away from Roman but the Rock is loved by most of the fans. As for Taz calling out the WWE for an "unsafe workplace", just look at how many times the AEW wrestlers keep getting injured do to very sloppy wrestling.
WWE did not ignore the pandemic. They knew it had affected them and their whole business but Vince wanted to push through it and just change the WWE environment even if it was a sad thing to see also AEW and other promotions continued wrestling
@@def6414 yeah plus it'd just make it more obvious that the pandemic was around. Even during Triple H's 25th anniversary celebration there's footage of a ring crew member saying he can't spit the water in the air when he was about too and the there was so much frustration on Hunter's face
And even seeing empty arena messed with some people, the wrestlers are “independent contractors” so they probably wouldn’t have gotten paid to not work, so they tested them for covid so those not sick could wrestle each other, while following as many guidelines as possible. From my understanding on wee talk shows on yt, It it was up to the wrestlers if they wanted to work or take it off.
I'm sure WWE will not speak on most of anything that could reflect negatively on the company since the merger. None of these things should be forgotten and they live on through us.
Kevin Nash (someone who has saved/helped several close friends who desperately needed it) has famously said that the minute you give up on someone who has already given up on themselves, they’re as good as done. Those words resonated so strongly with me that I’ll always remember involving circumstance of someone in a downward spiral refusing help. The way you worded it is very heartless
Don't blame ya. Knew a guy trying to get off of the perks. I used to bring him to get his methadone since he was a good buddy and coworker and had no one in his life to help with his addiction. How did I get repaid for caring and trying to help? He stole my weed out of my car while I went into the store. It was still sealed from the weed store and it was in my center console. Searched my car for something worth money, bolted and never heard from him since.
I never understood why they still had Wrestlemania in 2020, the "Highest of the Pandemic" was just a few weeks before. Could be the worst Mania Ever (other than IX).
The programming during the pandemic was not that good in all honesty, but as the old saying goes, the show must go on and it did go on and I believed it was kind of different for Monday night raw, NXT, and Friday night SmackDown as well as Wrestlemania 36 Took place at the performance center and I thought it was a very interesting change even though it was not that good.
Umaga was a junkie who refused to get help, and was fired. Only reason he gets brought up now is because of Rikishi, who mentions him every chance he gets, and is used to getting his way. And don’t forget about how WL was accusing Vince of giving Reigns the Benoit treatment in 2020 during his departure, because he was mostly edited out of the clip of Seth’s MITB cash in
I actually met Umaga; he stayed at a hotel I was working at. I didn't know who he was, because I hadn't watched wrestling in a while. He was awesome. Very lively and nice.
@actualturtle2421 yeah they took them Hook Line & Sinker straight to the courtroom just like Dr D David Schultz swapping that news reporter at the time you don't try that stuff with those guys heel or face
Most of these are scandals that most companies wouldn't disclose, but for the most part I'd say its four things: 1) They didn't tell the fans about most of this stuff because it doesn't involve the fans and/or should be of no concern to the fans. 2) The only people that really feel they MUST know are just snoopy busybodies who want to meddle and gossip about other peoples' affairs. 3) For the most part no good, or the amount of good is far outweighed by the negative, would really come from letting the fans know about most of this stuff. 4) They aren't a news show and almost all of this would fall under "news" - are they supposed to add a "This Week's News and Gossip in the Wrestling Industry" segment to RAW? Or do you want to see more matches? Like Umaga: his fans will remember him fondly for the entertainment he brought them over the years... or should WWE tarnish it by acknowledging he was a junkie that they tried to help but he refused and he died. Or JBL: No they didn't fire him, but WWE dealt with it. Hazing and backroom shenanigans are part of the camaraderie of the industry, and most industries when its a small tight knit group on the road for most of the year... bringing this up isn't going to do anything good for Mauro because a lot of people will see him as a cry baby who is not a "team player" or "one of the guys"
Umaga definitely had potential. Imo he should of beaten Cena at the 07 RR. Then again, not only would have not gotten that 5 star Cena vs HBK match at WM, but we also wouldn’t have Trump shaving Vince that year too 💀. If only he decided to get help…
You do realize that on some of these are legal issues they more then likely were advised by their legal team they couldn't or shouldn't say anything. Anything said could be used in court. Doesn't mean they were trying to sweep things under the rug.
particularly when a lot of things are just allegations. I mean I can accuse the rock of instigating a gang rape but, that shouldn't result in him being immediately fired. there has to be some level of investigation there or people will just abuse the system to get rid of anyone they don't like.
I think when the murder of Jamal Khashoggi happened, WWE should've not just pulled out of Saudi Arabia that year, but they should've terminated their deal with the Saudi government.
WWE is too possessive of their people like JBL, Randy Orton, and even Velveteen Dream, but hey there are some times when WWE does decide to admit from time to time!!!
I figured the Chris Benoit would have been a big one The steroid scandal you stated but that was not the first time. And I know it's iconic now but the clicks send off which arguably damaged the cafab image I thought at least some of those would be in the top three but what do I know
WWE did punished JBL's bullying before Bradshaw allegedly bullied Mauro Ronallo. Days after Bradshaw busted Meanie open at One Night Stand 2005, WWE booked a match between JBL and Blue Meanie where Stevie Richards gave Bradshaw an unprotected STIFF chairshot to his head. JBL then put Meanie over by pinning him clean. 😊
When vince mcmahon appeared on raw and smackdown before he steps down from wwe, i think he was there to flex on what was going on and was acting like nothing was going to happen to him
WrestleLamia been a subscriber for a little while and I was one of the kids in that picture.😂 He came to my school in Bermuda and the other kids made fun outta him losing to Rey Mysterio. But he was a very cool person to talk to and was an interesting Rugby coach
I remember when Ventura mentioned Hogan/Belzner at WM when someone used a front face lock, Monsoon just let it slide by. They probably edited that out since then. 🤣
Umaga's death came at a time where they stopped acknowledging premature deaths on air as a way to try and clean up their image. Pretty shallow really. That's why Lance Cade wasn't acknowledged either and shortly after they did that whole cringe Stand Up for WWE campaign.
No one should be automatically fired or canceled because of an accusation. Wait to see the facts and the evidence then act accordingly. The fact that guilty until proven innocent is a thing now is alarming.
WWE should have handled the Covid situation better. They could have aired repeats of old episodes until things started to calm down. This here is proof why WWE needs to have an off-season like other sports companies.
I've been out of watching WWE for quite a few years now, and I could be totally wrong here - but I swear I've seen in your other videos that Cena has mentioned Uso's mugshot in the ring before?
This is why I’m a solo sikoa fan. He pays respect to umaga every chance he gets. He had a sad exit to this world but what he did in the ring should never be forgotten. He’s as big a factor in the build up of John cena and Bobby Lashkey as anyone. The Samoan bulldozer is a legend
Such a shame WWE didn’t acknowledge Umaga’s death too much. His passing saddened me quite a bit.
I completely agree with you on that one😊
WWE offered him help and he turned it down. Why should they have to acknowledge his ultimate demise? He made his choice.
They probably didn't want to make him look bad because of his foolish actions that eventually led to his death.
Do yall realize at 3:26 They used a photo of Umaga in his Casket?
Umaga wasn't any big deal for wwe.... Always Remember not every wrestler is Bray Wyatt and Eddie Guerrero..
That photo of JBL doing humanitarian work killed it. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait till he gets fired for using slurs to bully the kids lol
WWF protected Snuka who was a murderer. WWF protected Moolah as she was a human trafficker. It's been going on for decades. Always gets tossed under the rug.
Yet they never acknowledged Benoit as wrestler in a little bit
It is sickening to me that people still defend them. Anyone who criticises wwe, gets attacked by e drones.
@@labeebulshah8424this is true
Snuka died an innocent man
Moolah died an innocent woman. It's easy to make accusations about somebody when she isn't alive to defend herself
@mjstory1976 Neither of them died innocent, Snuka was literally arrested for it until Vince came in with a briefcase and had a private meeting with the police and then miraculously charges were dropped ,
Dozens of former wrestlers accused moolah of all of that but they never once acknowledged it with several other wrestlers being pressured to defend her
WWE said both Eddie Fatu (Umaga) and Eddie Guerreros deaths were due to heart failure. What the WWE failed to mention was that it was due to a drug overdose
Guererro, overdose?? How do you know this?
Jim Cornete said that Eddie had heart problems caused by steroids, so I guess that can kinds count as drugs death? But overdose? The man died while brushing his teeth, what kind of drug overdoed allows you to brush your teeth dur8ng it? Lol
Guerrero didn’t OD it was heart problems from steroid abuse
Eddie Guerrero didn’t die from an overdose but his heart problems were most likely caused by his previous drug use
As if you would provide this information yourself if you had the chance i highly doubt you would

Not really. That jabroni umaga refused rehab and became such a dickhead during 2009, not wwe fault
No it wasn't. They offered help and he refused. His death brings a negative light to the company even after they tried to help.
@paranoidewok6772 kinda his fault tho for not taking care of his body, wwe helped, he refused help. Imagine refusing someone, he went in business for himself
Did the family want them to show it? Sometimes even Vince respects those boundaries.
The fact is WWE wants us all to believe that the company is all sunshine and rainbows however we as fans know better
Not all only a few and they get attacked by loyalists 247

Because he was never found
guilty of anything
WWE not firing Jimmy Uso due to DUI incident was unacceptable
Especially since there were multiple DUI's. But you know, related to the Bloodline makes you untouchable.
If that were the case, Sabu and WWE and wwe ECW champ RVD should have been let go too or was his worse?
Was he on the job?
These daily uploads are insane
The only acknowledgement WWE did for Umaga by making up for the time they didn't actually acknowledge him was putting him in WWE 2K22 and 2K23
Rest in Peace Umaga😥💔🙏.
I never understood why they still had Wrestlemania in 2020, the "Highest of the Pandemic" was just a few weeks before. Could be the worst Mania Ever (other than IX).

Most of these are scandals that most companies wouldn't disclose, but for the most part I'd say its four things:

When ur off tv wwe acts like ur dead..not telling us Roman wouldn't be a mania n instead Braun strowmam was just corny..
Exactly you couldn't just have him lose his spot or get attacked backstage something
Idk if it's just me but I remember on an episode of raw them acknowledging Umaga's death, maybe I'm wrong but I'm sure I'm not
The sloppy shop comment by Tazz haunts him till this day.
Umaga definitely had potential. Imo he should of beaten Cena at the 07 RR. Then again, not only would have not gotten that 5 star Cena vs HBK match at WM, but we also wouldn’t have Trump shaving Vince that year too 💀.
If only he decided to get help…
Umaga was one of the best big men WWE ever had, whether he wanted the help or not they should have at least gave some acknowledgment of his death
Really surprised the Chris B thing wasn't on here
that's because it wasn't ignored they had a whole tribute show on Raw. before finding out what happened.
I think Vince also acknowledged what really happened.
You do realize that on some of these are legal issues they more then likely were advised by their legal team they couldn't or shouldn't say anything. Anything said could be used in court. Doesn't mean they were trying to sweep things under the rug.

3:27 bruh the background picture 💀
Yeah posting him in a casket was crazy
Also I’m a big Vince fan so I think it was cool having him come out to cut quick promos
Who’s the girl in the middle of Umaga and the usos
Thank For the Top 10 Video 🙊🤯💞💕👌👍💐🌟🥇🏆
I think when the murder of Jamal Khashoggi happened, WWE should've not just pulled out of Saudi Arabia that year, but they should've terminated their deal with the Saudi government.
Except Kashoggi wasn’t killed by anyone in the Saudi government
@@night6724 It was still ordered by MBS. That's as close as you can get!
@@ShanetheFreestyler No it wasn’t
I didn't even know either of them passed away and often wondered what they were up to. Very sad to find this out so long after it happened.
WWE is too possessive of their people like JBL, Randy Orton, and even Velveteen Dream, but hey there are some times when WWE does decide to admit from time to time!!!
I figured the Chris Benoit would have been a big one The steroid scandal you stated but that was not the first time. And I know it's iconic now but the clicks send off which arguably damaged the cafab image I thought at least some of those would be in the top three but what do I know
WWE acknowledged Benoit one time and said his name would never be brought up again.
WWE did punished JBL's bullying before Bradshaw allegedly bullied Mauro Ronallo.
Days after Bradshaw busted Meanie open at One Night Stand 2005, WWE booked a match between JBL and Blue Meanie where Stevie Richards gave Bradshaw an unprotected STIFF chairshot to his head.
JBL then put Meanie over by pinning him clean. 😊
Meanie didn’t win clean. Stevie bashed JBL with a chair then Batista hit him with a spine buster
JBL bullies all the new people .
now umaga was mention during john cena and solo sikoa by michael cole at crown jewel 2023
When vince mcmahon appeared on raw and smackdown before he steps down from wwe, i think he was there to flex on what was going on and was acting like nothing was going to happen to him
3:26 BRO DID YALL REALLY PUT UMAGAS FUNERAL (Him in The Casket) PIC IN THE VIDEO!!!!!?????🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
WrestleLamia been a subscriber for a little while and I was one of the kids in that picture.😂 He came to my school in Bermuda and the other kids made fun outta him losing to Rey Mysterio. But he was a very cool person to talk to and was an interesting Rugby coach
I remember when Ventura mentioned Hogan/Belzner at WM when someone used a front face lock, Monsoon just let it slide by. They probably edited that out since then. 🤣
U skipped smackdown coverage once again @wrestlelamia 😢
Umaga's death came at a time where they stopped acknowledging premature deaths on air as a way to try and clean up their image. Pretty shallow really. That's why Lance Cade wasn't acknowledged either and shortly after they did that whole cringe Stand Up for WWE campaign.
JBL gave those vibes through the television even before the ABA
Nobody noticed the race of Eddie Guerrero was white😂😂
They acknowledged the Usos when Roman looked at Jimmy and went "don't get me started on you."
No one should be automatically fired or canceled because of an accusation. Wait to see the facts and the evidence then act accordingly. The fact that guilty until proven innocent is a thing now is alarming.
WWE should have handled the Covid situation better. They could have aired repeats of old episodes until things started to calm down. This here is proof why WWE needs to have an off-season like other sports companies.
Wwe could have just said that roman reigns left because he became the tribal chief
No news video?
News videos aren't always daily, all depends on what happens.
Glad Vince's chaotic era is over
No smackdown recap episode?
I've been out of watching WWE for quite a few years now, and I could be totally wrong here - but I swear I've seen in your other videos that Cena has mentioned Uso's mugshot in the ring before?
Haven’t watched wrestling since 2013
This is why I’m a solo sikoa fan. He pays respect to umaga every chance he gets. He had a sad exit to this world but what he did in the ring should never be forgotten. He’s as big a factor in the build up of John cena and Bobby Lashkey as anyone. The Samoan bulldozer is a legend
