    Watching this episode really made me think about why so many wrestlers are so determined to break into acting.

    I want to see a Part 2. There's definitely enough that's happened over the last five years to warrant a sequel. Not to mention John Oliver disavowing his comments about Roman while fully acknowledging his Tribal Chief.

      Hahahah he should watch Supereyepatchwolfs video on the amazing arc Roman went on from absolutely hated tool to beloved heel legend finally allowed to grow without canned phrases and suffering succotash.
      And yeah, Vince finally getting sh*scanned and replaced by HHH.

    It's so crazy to see Roman getting booed and told fuck you, when literally just last friday an entire stadium was cheering OTC for him. Crazy what 6 years does for a person.

    And to think that jesse ventura tried to form a union in the WWF, back when it was both him and hogan. And he only found out years later that when hogan found out, by word of mouth backstage. That Hogan went directly to vince, thus getting ventura fired almost immediately. Supremely fucked up

      There's no way in hell the wrestlers would agree to a union then, anyway. Even Jesse has said that.

    I absolutely loved wrestling as a kid. I watched ECW and WWF/E Smackdown mainly, but would sometimes watch Raw. As an adult today (and with how awful wwe is now) I can't find any interest in it at all. Maybe after this I'll go hunting for classic moments from attitude era.

    I’d like to point out that all the info you have about the WWE more less also applies to the UFC. And I’d go as far to say that Dana white is an even bigger POS then Vince. And to paint The WWE with the brush and not mention how the ufc is essentially the exact same thing is kinda picking and choosing… did Dana sponsor this video or? Cuz… he dodged a bullet. And if it’s political… let’s remember that both Vince and Dana are trump buddies so…. Just seems weird to harp on one and not the other…. Atleast the WWE is still entertaining lol. UFC is total dog shiii at this point

    • @moogle68
      @moogle68 5 дней назад +3

      They only have so much time to work with, and with the main story typically only covering about ~20 minutes of the show, I'm sure it would be too confusing to keep alternating between the two companies. Even if they did 10 mins on each group, that wouldn't be nearly enough time to get across the points they would have probably wanted to about them, considering how much there is to talk about.
      It's fine for you to suggest a segment on UFC since it is similarly controversial, but don't literally accuse them of taking money from Dana White just because they didn't try to squeeze in another, equally controversial, fighting show to an already filled up episode.
