Oh my god can you guys imagine being on that flight? I can't imagine seeing video of that, RIc Flair making all types of dirty comments to the flight attendents followed by WOOOOs lmao
Fire me? Can't fire me! Wooooo! Fire me? Ha. Can't fire me!! WOOOO! Proceeds to put jacket and pants on plane aisle floor, and elbow and knee drop them repeatedly. F'n LEGEND.
@@NoiseFetishist Why do you say that? You mean it didnt 'age' well? Grammar my friend. We all know what Ric Flair is about. Noone 'really' knows everything that happened on that flight but obviously we've heard things over the years, over and over and over. Yes Ric has said racist things, done sexist things that would get people thrown in prison today or simply get cancelled... but us younger peeps need to realize they lived in a different world. If you didn't act a certain way towards woman and gays back then, YOU would be the one attacked, YOU would be the one cancelled and have no friends and be outcasted. Don't cast stones into the past my friend.
that was the 'official' story for the public. fact is, dustin was a notorious harasser/abuser of female staff, his 'ribbbing' of others was extreme to the point of being dangerous, was accused of stealing from his fellow wrestlers, & tried to sabotage some careers with his lies. those were the real reasons (that, & dusty wanted him to leave for the wcw). also, i must re-iterate, flair=money, dustin=yawns. it's like firing hogan & holding on to the brooklyn brawler or bart starr, firing steve austin & re-hiring uncle elmer. illogical.
kingofbrawl3000 No kidding, I’ve wished I could have been on that plane ever since news broke about it. Apparently the plane door was almost opened as well.
I know this is 2 years old, but...I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to be there at all. Probably you wouldn't care if anything really bad would happen to the people who were sober, and doing drugs won't get you anywhere...pretty sure wasn't weed or anything like that. Y'all are sick 🙃
The contrast between the Snuka and Benoit case is upsetting. One man goes completely free, and the other man is written out of wrestling history forever.
Um no. Snuka as SO GUILTY that the case was re-opened right before his death. He "got off" b/c the Judge rules he was not mentally stable enough to complete trial. Snuka was, is, and always will be GUILTY --- he murdered that woman.
Because Jimmy Snuka is seen as an icon to most, and also he was never tried(due to him not being mentally fit to stand trial) while Benoit is known to have killed Nancy and Daniel, even though it's most likely that Snuka killed Nancy Argento
In reference to the Terry Garvin scandal on this video, From 2:37 on pictures of Eric Embry are used instead of actual pictures of the wrestler Terry Garvin. You guys might want to correct that. Eric had nothing to do with any of that.
What chris did was horrible but he wasnt himself. His brain was so damaged from years of concussion after concussion. He was not mentally well do to this. THAT is the real reason WWE doesnt want to talk about it. It would put some of the blame on what happened to chris on them. Years of going " Its just a stinger get back out there".
@@jaredgarcia8638 Absolve no but it doesn't make him a monster either. He was not in his right mind and likely was no longer capable of being in his right mind. Brain injuries truly can and do change a person.
The Benoit one shouldnt be covered up, as hard as it is it needs to be looked at, Benoit was not in his right mind and should have been getting help long before he lost his mind and became a killer, i feel just as sorry for him as i do his wife and kid but unlike snooker, chris probably didnt know what he was doing and sadly now he is seen as a monster.
Jun Lee when it comes to killers, one like Benoit who had a 100 things mixing to make him a ticking time bomb, it’s to find the lessons we can learn. Which in the WWE, were hundreds of reasons. He never truly addressed his emotional pain either, if he even had the capacity to do so. There were emotional and physical/scientific reasons to horror he committed. Ideally you stop the stuff killing your body, Benoit and thousands of wrestlers don’t. We didn’t know what worst case was until Benoit killed his family.
Sadly there’s a lot more to the story than this. You can find a much better detailed review on Wrestlelamia’s channel. As well as an old Phil Donahue episode with Vince, Bruno, Barry Orton, Dave Meltzer and a few more, it’s intriguing stuff.
Mr. Chaos Ghost Yes he was accused as well. Again check out Wrestlelamia’s in depth report on it. The accusations and people named are more extensive than just Garvin.
Theres no actual proof of that. Do you really think if there was any truth to that at all then Vince wouldve brought Savage back or that hed be in the Hall Of Fame?
Anyone could see that something was wrong with Chris in every match he participated in. Every top rope headbutt to a downed opponent left him writhing in pain at the impact. That should have pushed many for him to seek medical treatment, but these wrestlers are not people to the promoters. They are prized racing horses, and once they reach their limits, they are sent to the slaughterhouse. One only has to watch a "Where are they now?" on former wrestlers to see what those billionaires have done for them.
@@brenegadde1278 Your brain still moves falling from high places constantly. He did it for most of his life, plus the chair shots he never blocked, and him accidentally falling on his head multiple times.
Something that a lot of people take out of the whole story is Guerrero's death. They were VERY close friends and Eddie's death was probably the moment he started to snap.
Tony Atlas was actually warned by Dutch Mantel not to go back to his hotel that night. The Police were looking for him because he was running around the Hospital Emergency room talking about how that creep had stabbed Brody. The jerk must have had friends in the police department. If Atlas did go back to the hotel that night, we'd probably be talking about him in the past tense too.
can this please be the final time we have to see the bullshit at the end of the video? it's annoying enough on every other vid, but going from Benoit killing himself and his family to Jules laughing is... in poor taste at the least??
Benoit and Snuka, tragedies the WWE should answer for but still the fanboi's blame the poor bastards with brains the constancy of tapioca. If the NFL won't take responsibility what hope do we have for wrestling?
Philip Tucker Both require crowds to fill stadiums and/or arenas. One is a sport played at pre-teen levels while the other is the modern-day circus combined with mock combat. In the end, you stop drawing when something else becomes more popular, as with what happened to the circus.
Sad thing is, you mention the Rita Chatterton issue on any social media page, the fans ignore it because it 'never happened', although there are court documents, etc that show it.
So tired of seeing the Benoit story misrepresented. You guys are usually on point, but every time you bring that up you're only telling half the story. The only thing being hushed there is how much the head trauma contributed to his pyschotic episode. The amount of testosterone being present is being severely inflated. But what's worse is how the amount of brain damage is being downplayed. Autopsies confirmed that over 75% of Benoit's brain tissue showed either scarring or some kind of damage. Numerous experts in the field have agreed that the brain damage is far more likely to have contributed to Benoit's personality changes and actions than any steroid use. However the WWE will never admit that, because then they'd have to take some responsibility for Benoit's actions. You think they want anyone to think that this is a possible consequence of long term employment in their company? Is it any coincidence that their policies on head bumps changed dramatically almost immediately after this incident happened?
There are tons of wresters and football players with severe head damage that don't become killers. This video does underplay the role that had, but you are overplaying the role it had. Benoit is still responsible for his actions.
Eric Mattson benoit head was good enough to travel, cut promos, wrestle, memorize lines, work out, drive, etc. yea the murders were his fault, not wwe's.
Re: the Plane Ride from Hell: Michael Hayes fucked with JBL and got his hair cut off (likely by Sean Waltman). Nobody was disciplined over Hayes' hair because he had that coming for acting a fool. Vince McMahon doesn't like his road agents acting like that.
jose gonzalez with a knife? brody was gutted with a rusty machete by a murderer that was a lousy wrestler & booker. brody spent 90 minutes on the shower floor trying to put his intestines back into his body be cause the crowd was too large for the medics to get to him. gonzalez hid behind a wall & ambushed brody. never served one day, he walked.
I read once that according to neurologists who studied it, Benoit's brain was so badly damaged from concussions and whatnot, that it was the equivalent of a 70-year-old with dementia. He also apparently never got over Eddie Guerrero's death. The whole Benoit thing is a senseless tragedy.
I think there's many other factors that have killed wresting here in Puerto Rico, mostly WWC' s bad booking and non existent angles and Victor Jovica. You still have to mention the times IWA totally sold out Pepin Cestero in Bayamon. But unfortunately the Indy Wrestling scene it's on life support.
Nothing about the Von Erich curse? 5 sons of Fritz who killed themselves or died in shady ways? Criminal. Speaking of Criminal, The Chris Benoit story saddens me beyond all reason. Not entirely because I was such a fan of his in Stampede Wrestling that a friend of mine played a mean practical joke on his mother who was suffering Alzheimer's, and told her that I had moved to Calgary, went on a massive steroid program and had begun wrestling under the name of Chris Benoit. To this day, that poor old woman thinks I am a killer of women and children, as well as a suicide. :(
He had an illness. And the rest of your should do some research before downing the man. Same shit football players go through. Guess Yall forgot what his famous move was
EVE-Voni's World He's been erased from history, and not just wrestling, I mean people did their research on Jimmy Snuka and that's why everyone believes he murdered Nancy Argentino
Regarding Chris Benoit: How can someone be regarded as the "best wrestler ever", when the wrestling is completely scripted and fake? It's not a legitimate show of wrestling skill. It's not a legitimate competition. All winners and losers are predetermined. So, how can ANYONE be regarded as "good" or "best"? Is it in terms of entertainment? Like, Benoit had a great stage presence and put on a hell of a show?
That's exactly it. Wrestling may be scripted and predetermined but you still need a variety of talents to pull it off. If anything it can be tougher that real competitive sports because your job is to make a predetermined outcome look realistic and compelling. Not everyone can cut a promo like The Rock or Stone Cold, not everyone has the technical wrestling psychology of Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels. The best are considered the best for a combination of charisma to make fans invest in them, and ring-work that allowed them to put out a compelling show.
George Zahorian was employed by WWWF/WWF for a lot longer than 10 years. He first began working for them as ringside physician on "All Star Wrestling" back in 1973. So he was with them for nearly 17 years, and probably supplying the wrestlers with various steroids for the entire time.
What’s interesting is when WCW did their “reboot” angle and forced Sid to surrender the championship, Eric mentioned that scissor thing to him in an on screen promo but nobody had any clue what he was talking about besides the commentators.
When the Chris Benoit incident happened, I followed the story and even read up on what was going on behind the scenes before all of it happened. When Eddie died, that's when Chris began to truly breakdown. Immense grief coupled with his brain being that of a 70 year old man who may have dementia wasn't going to produce anything good. Then the whole thing with Kevin Sullivan and Nancy Benoit pops up more than once, and their history together. All in all, I firmly don't think Chris killed his family then himself. The evidence doesn't add up.
the buck zumhofe arrest in 1986 was while he was the then holder of the AWA's light heavyweight title and verne retired the title afterwards. how he got work after he got released is insane!
Imagine if all this happened today, all of these controversies are more than enough to force WWE to clean house employee wise or shut down indefinitely
Nuetralism, who actually subscribes to these things? I mean, yeah I see it says subscription numbers, but you really subscribe to a channel? ANY channel? Why? Just go there on your own. Why do you want them to bug you about something new going up? Subscribing to a channel? Give me a break.
I dont get these comments. I see these comments on all their videos now. Mind you I dont really watch wrestling anymore but I do like keeping up with it and the drama sometimes. What exactly have they changed about their videos that you guys dont like anymore? They seem just like their older videos

*somber final entry about Chris Benoit*
Cheerful Jules: HOHO WASN'T THAT SOMETHING!!
They really should take a moment while editing
He was one of my favorite wrestlers ever once that happened I kind of stopped watching
That outro was some horrible tonal whiplash. C'mon guys, you can do better than that.
This is what WC has become; a generic fast-turn-around video mill.
Agreed. Awful editing or just totally tasteless. Either way, it shouldn't happen.
The end card with Jules doesn't fit with the tone of the video at all
Cristian Juarez at least is wasn't the you'd amount to nothing outro.
(Edit: accidentally said intro instead of outro.)
The end card is annoying AF on all videos
Nothing with Jules makes sense.
Cristian Juarez Ohh noOoOoOo
Jules gets that wherever he goes.
The benoit shit was on mainstream news immediately, that wasnt hushed
captainrobocop wwe kept hushed about it. The media didn’t
bowl of korn no shit why would WWE want to talk about that shit
It's not just WWE that doesn't talk about it, pretty much every show that goes on the air tries to avoid talking about Chris Benoit in anyway
MegaBRD The Movie Nerd again why would anyone want to talk about it
rogregg29445 That's my point, no one wants to talk about or mention Benoit or the incident
I demand justice for Bruiser, now , not later, a legend was taken from us too early
The trial ended in acquittal. Double jeopardy attached. It’s over. Nothing can be done
I vividly remember someone fucking up the guy who killed Brody in the ring. I think he shoot knee dropped him off the top rope
not the best outro for this XD
I thought the exact same thing
Zippy2707 DUDE seriously!
Yeah I’m like dude no not a hard laugh lll
"Wasn't that something 😅"
Aye, bad taste like.
The contrast between the Snuka and Benoit case is upsetting. One man goes completely free, and the other man is written out of wrestling history forever.
I 100% agree.
BlueNoodle79 snuka was never found guilty. benoit was. there is a difference.

In the eyes of the law, they are both innocent. Neither were convicted.
That Plane ride from hell sounds like an amazing place to be
Honestly sounds like a jolly good time
"Ho ho! Wasn't that something!?"
eddies death was also likely the nail in the coffin for benoit it hurt him bad his best friend's death
Benoit/HBK/HHH match is still on the network. Hometown show for Chris. Keeps the belt after a wild match.

Abhishek Mukherjee that's true BAY BAY
Brock was lucky Hennig let go of his guillotine on Lesnar. Scott Hall was lucky they flushed the rest of the quaaludes, or he would of keeled over.

If you do a little research there’s quite a lot to suggest that he wasn’t the killer and that all 3 were killed by someone else,

I was more shocked about Buck Zumoff. I remember how popular he was when he was in WCCW back when I watched there shows on TV there in Dallas.

How can someone be regarded as the "best wrestler ever", when the wrestling is completely scripted and fake? It's not a legitimate show of wrestling skill. It's not a legitimate competition. All winners and losers are predetermined. So, how can ANYONE be regarded as "good" or "best"?
Is it in terms of entertainment? Like, Benoit had a great stage presence and put on a hell of a show?
That's exactly it. Wrestling may be scripted and predetermined but you still need a variety of talents to pull it off. If anything it can be tougher that real competitive sports because your job is to make a predetermined outcome look realistic and compelling. Not everyone can cut a promo like The Rock or Stone Cold, not everyone has the technical wrestling psychology of Bret Hart or Shawn Michaels. The best are considered the best for a combination of charisma to make fans invest in them, and ring-work that allowed them to put out a compelling show.

George Zahorian was employed by WWWF/WWF for a lot longer than 10 years. He first began working for them as ringside physician on "All Star Wrestling" back in 1973. So he was with them for nearly 17 years, and probably supplying the wrestlers with various steroids for the entire time.
RIP in peace kayfabe.... rest in peace in peace kayfabe 🙄
time to go to the atm machine.
It's an old joke from a basket weaving forum
Andrew B well how the fuck am I supposed to know that I’m not an 80 year old woman 😂
Liam Geary, it's a pretty well known meme... RUclipsrs have been using it for years, especially channels like The Yogscast
RIP in peace
Volrath I’ve never watched yogscast before so I’ve never actually heard of it lol.
What’s interesting is when WCW did their “reboot” angle and forced Sid to surrender the championship, Eric mentioned that scissor thing to him in an on screen promo but nobody had any clue what he was talking about besides the commentators.
When the Chris Benoit incident happened, I followed the story and even read up on what was going on behind the scenes before all of it happened. When Eddie died, that's when Chris began to truly breakdown. Immense grief coupled with his brain being that of a 70 year old man who may have dementia wasn't going to produce anything good. Then the whole thing with Kevin Sullivan and Nancy Benoit pops up more than once, and their history together.
All in all, I firmly don't think Chris killed his family then himself. The evidence doesn't add up.
the buck zumhofe arrest in 1986 was while he was the then holder of the AWA's light heavyweight title and verne retired the title afterwards. how he got work after he got released is insane!
Exactly 🤮
Lmao Amy Schumer as a flight attendant. Good lord that pat Patterson one
Great, another Adam in What Culture.
0:25 amazing Caitlyn Jenner impression
Imagine if all this happened today, all of these controversies are more than enough to force WWE to clean house employee wise or shut down indefinitely

Did you leave your mobile phone on during the recording of this video?
Everytime I'm refreshing new comments arrives!!
That happens on new videos.
A Wilborn video I'm able to tolerate? I'm impressed. Perhaps there's hope for a 3rd decent member of WhatCulture
*Sid Scissors vs Arn Match*
That laughing then "wasn't that something?" right after a list like that was probably ill advised. Just sayin'
It made it better, honestly.
GtFO im so happy its not the meek one who sometimes has a dog so be thankful its the bearded guy
Except not really
Whatever then theres no getting through to you
I wasnt replying to you
U guys are great. Hey It's Michael from Canada. Can you dig up anything on Good Night Irene Adrian Adonis and Quick Draw McGraw. How did they die?
Why wasn't Pat Patterson fired a long time ago?
Because he is openly gay. Lawsuits, ya know?
You missed 1. Hawk from LOD. His death was kept hush. That story never really went too far
Also thank you for acknowledging that Benoit wasn’t just a psychopath but was very very ill
Erasing Chris Benoit was stupid they should remember him so they can remember to check each other for mentally.
What about Stephanie's exploits?
OOOOOH YEAHHHHHH!
Wow
"Snap into a Slim Jim, Steph! OH YEAAAHHHH!!!"
I'm dead OMG
It’s complete bollox
....and there were no survivors....... In other news, Chef Bobby will show you how to make dynamite chimichangas!

i remember seeing a poster on raw that said Patterson's favorite ringboy
Its crazy how far What Culture has fallin. smh
Fallen Half God Thats crazy. You like the way they taste huh?
Joke, right? You have to be an idiot to have any problems with this video.
Nuetralism, who actually subscribes to these things? I mean, yeah I see it says subscription numbers, but you really subscribe to a channel? ANY channel? Why? Just go there on your own. Why do you want them to bug you about something new going up?
Subscribing to a channel? Give me a break.
I dont get these comments. I see these comments on all their videos now. Mind you I dont really watch wrestling anymore but I do like keeping up with it and the drama sometimes. What exactly have they changed about their videos that you guys dont like anymore? They seem just like their older videos
jdslugger99 people just like to bitch about things no matter what. I’m glad WhatCulture ignores these fucking bitches and just keeps making videos
The sheik and duggan scandal...my friends uncle knew cops that were in on arresting them. Like state troopers.
I don't know but I still think Benoit's death is suspicious to me. Of course we'll never know for sure now.
Jules actually made the video better this time. I'm loving it
