I've just discovered your channel (for some reason) and it's slowly becoming my favorite, keep killing it dude

@Giovanni Trujillo I think for the "jaded" joke he made. Cuz jade is a green rock. Puns

Every video high quality. U won't be disappointed


14:05 you guys see why i love and miss Brian Pillman?
R.I.P. Brian


It doesn't matter if wrestling has decayed, McMahon got what he wanted before it happened: to completely crush the competition and have it all.


bro i remember not being allowed to watch raw and hearing at school mankind beat the rock i literally wasnt allowed to see it and i knew


Makes me think of reading plays back in high school n not really understanding why anyone would've care for them but then I went to a camp for the arts called blue lake to watch a performance of Tempest n that 👏 shit 👏was👏 amazing 👏


VIDEO IDEA!  There will NEVER EVER be another superman like Christopher Reeve!!!


12:20 I remember hearing this song on Dookieshed's videos back in like 2013. That takes me back... does anybody know the name of the song?


One of the best videos i have seen in a wile keep up the great work


I was never into wrestling as a kid because it was so cheesy... Then in middle school I saw a guy in a dress shirt and tights get kicked in the face off screen, fall off a roof of a concretr bungalo, smack a table, next to another table. with a guy next to it. it was Mick Foley, and he automsticslly was my favorite wrestler.


The crowd was loud when Mankind won, but when Austin returned in 2000 at Backlash, that has to be the loudest I’ve ever heard a crowd.


Mick was definitely talented, his psychology is was the best. He could wrestle his ass off!!


Well you can’t really do a lot of the stuff they did in the late 90’s it was a much different time


I already knew the Mick Filey clip was coming 😂


This was taken place at the Worcester Centrum (now DCU Center) in Worcester, Massachusetts and I live only live in Shrewsbury when I was one year and 8 months old. This episode is my all time favorite because it's not just close to home, it the time where Mick Foley won his WWF title for first time and before the Rock's twist from getting fired from the corporation and became a fan favorite.


Emp Ive always loved the wrestling references in your vids and have always secretly wanted You to make an in depth vid about it, great vid dude


This video makes me legit sad
I want my car crash tv back

9:43
"usually while high on cocain"
Yeah.... but lets be real... what would Randy Savage be without some coke fueled promos?
That vibe just transpired through the TV  and captavated you.

13:58
"80 year old woman"
Thats absolutely based.

15:03
Mick Foley is one of the most loveable and badass people this world has ever seen.
JR aint lying when he called "BAW GOD ALMIGHTY, BAW GOD ALMIGHTY, THAT KILLED HIM. AS GOD IS MY WITNESS, HE IS BROKEN IN HALF"

16:00
"Just go with it"
looool

16:23
"...take a corny gimmick an do it for 30 years"
well.... kinda... :D

19:18
And not the fancy Hollywood kinda thumbtacks made of rubber.
But the real deal you buy in a normal store.


dude this is the best video ever for wrestling nerds 😂😂😂


I got to wrestle/slam HBK for a fundraiser at my school for our wrestling team. Down-to-earth guy. Lots of fun.


“It’s still real to me dammit! “ will forever be my motto towards wrestling


How is it not real if people are actually getting really hurt?? Like I get that the “winner” is set already and stuff but they are actually beating the crap out of each other and throwing themselves off 2 story high fences, sooo


This man really included Slick Rick in his video
#epic


I was lucky to be growing up as a child I'm the attitude era,  wrestling back then was crazy good WCW WWF ECW man it was one amazing time,  I haven't watched wrestling since like 2009 it's so lame bad and watered down its fucking awful.


"Undertaker's Iconic Dong."

a thing that was said

"Undertaker's Iconic Dong."

*a thing that was said*


Your research and scripting is very admirable.


Way back in 1998
When the brother of Kane
Threw Mankind off of Hell In A Cell
Through the Spanish Announcer Table


This was pretty much only talking about the attitude era but I’m okay with it.


Great video, but u forgot to talk about ECW and how it helped WWE to win WCW


4:52 I was actually shaken to my core when I heard the background music and realized it's the melody the "Don't pee on the floor, use the commodore" fish sings


Came for monday night raw, stayed for a history lesson on theatre, word up


that homer to Simpsons wrestling Segway was brilliant


just realized this video came out 20 years exactly after Mankind won the title


14:34

Man just dumped another man, and then proceeded to remove his mask...to reveal another mask.

**Peak Drama**

Vince Jr. didn't inherit the WWWF...he BOUGHT it from his father. How much of a difference that makes will vary from person to person, but it's an important distinction.


There will never ever be another moment like when Trump clotheslined Vince McMahon

just some guy who does what he wants lol

You forget the moment where he clotheslined the government and sent it into a downward spiral

The only moment Trump was doing something right - entertain people. x)


WWE should bring back the War Zone for one night


I can tell EmpLemon didn't watch it live bc there's quite a few errors he made.


Now there’s AEW and ROH . But u can never duplicate The Rock, Stone cold , DX, Mankind and The brothers of destruction scratch tht the whole Additude era was amazing


Id still watch if the shows atmosphere was like the attitude era.  Can't get into it at all with its current status, which has nothing to do with "how the world is now days".


I didn't realize Mick Foley was such a goddam badass 😐


hahahahaha I remember watching that Mick Foley throw live when I was a kid, it happened to be my birthday too.


When a man has lost his hair, he has nothing else to lose... I cry in crowning


I remember watching the undertaker vs mankind hell in a cell match as a kid


2:18 still funny as fuck no matter how many times you see it


I always found it weird when Vince McMahon announced that God would be entering the ring with Shawn Michaels, it was just a spotlight and not Mick Foley.

For real though, if they just had Mick Foley come out in a robe and his beard badly spray painted white that would’ve been pretty funny

I thought Mick was gonna do a one night appearance and help Shawn out.


I think when RAW and Smackdown were fighting for the title of the better wrestling show within WWE, it was really at its prime, even if ECW and AEW joined the feud and we're pretty much as uneventful in the way of narratives as WCW. The times when there were Batista, The Undertaker, Kane, John Cena, Triple H. All these behemoths with titles that had other fighters fear them much more than other fighters; and they were fighting in big events and showing their recognition until the last few fighters, you really never knew which way it would go, even if most rooted for The Undertaker, just because kids found his actions just but relentless, and he had a big history of stunts that put him in a lot of danger, so he was like foley but instead of laughing at the foolish guy, people always asked themselves "is this the last we see of the undertaker"? to be quickly corrected by his surprise returns with that chilling theme. simply classic.

Ruthless Aggression is really underrated.


"the rock acts in high profile but ultimately forgettable action flicks... And Moana"


And now, Monday Night Raw is on a downward spiral. Pun intended.


Just thinking of The Undertakers DONG gives me chills!

So that's what he's Taking when he's down Under, eh?

Yea man his dont is loud and a big icon

You hear the song and sing and the ding dong

@Top Lobster If anyone would have balls tough enough to do that it would be The Undertaker after all

TrolledBy1337 Qi always imagined the ko’d came from his balls slamming into his opponents chin?

It's what really puts the "piledriver" into his tombstone.

Also known as the deadliest 69 in the world.


Basically wrestlers are gladiators but with slightly less extravagant sets? (I remember reading there were mock naval battles sometimes in gladiatorial games)


You should have specified WWF Raw not WWE Raw. Nowadays it's almost unwatchable most of the time


Holy shit the nostalgia right from the start. Donkey Kong music lol


Just like your NASCAR video, when we lost Dale Sr, NASCAR died in 2001, ironaclly, Wrestling also died in 2001 when WCW closed. Enough said!!.


EmpLemon: When i say names like Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, and Andre The Giant most of you can probably picture a vague figure in your heads but you cant specifically tell who im talking about.

Me a life long wrestling fan who knew exactly who he was talking about: Oh so this video isnt meant for me.

@JayInDS3NT same here, those guys are just burned THAT deeply into the cultural zeitgeist.

I'm 43 and I've never been a big fan of wrestling and I knew exactly who he was talking about and what they look like LOL


Omfgggg your a legend for 28:30 you just made my day. Thank me later everyone


Yeah, you lost me when you mention Donald Trump's and McMahon's "business acumen". Is that code for inheriting an empire from your father?


only high iq rick and morty fans can understand the true lore of wrestling


Too bad wwe going really downhill last decade. Aew showing some strong signs thats for sure. Great vid


maybe 20 years from now, need to make a newer one 👀


You forgot that Austin went to ECW first before going to WWF/E


Loving that Venom remix from Star Fox for The Rock.


This video is absolutely fantastic. I love it so much. Same with the last Never Ever. You are doing a wonderful job with these videos. As both a wrestling fan and a SpongeBob fan, these 2 Never Ever videos are some of my favorite videos. Keep up the amazing work, and oh my god if I ever hear Michael Cole say Boss Time ever again, I think I might just end it all.


I love the Dirty Harry music when talking about Vince McMahon.


So, there's this show that comes out on Wednesday night...


I used to think wrestling was just really dumb.

I’m sorry. I was wrong and a fool


Don't let any of this distract you from the fact that in 1998 The Undertaker-<br>Oh, I see.

Don't let any of this distract you from the fact that in 1998 The Undertaker-
Oh, I see.

NEW ARTS NU ARTニューアーツニューアート


Man the pop for this was insane I was home and popped hard lmao


0:46 why you gotta roast my favorite sea animal (besides seals) like that


Shawn Michaels is the best wrestler ever, Bret is second. We all know wrestling isn’t real, but it’s so good. Vince McMahon is the greatest promoter ever!


I'm in my fourth watch if this video. You are a master.


I didn't understand how people could watch fake wrestling until... I forget the name. WWE 2k16 I think? Their little Stone Cold story told like an E! documentary actually got me really hyped over it. Now that I can think about it it's pretty impressive how they manage to make it feel real in front of a live audience. Honestly, that's pretty impressive.


I was born way after that era and I agree


If you guys like classic wrestling, and are sick of modern WWE. CHECK OUT AEW. Wrestling is truly great again!


That image of Vince screaming at Steve Austin has to be the most famous scene of WWF/E history


5:14 that sure is some great background music, I sure do hope that the lights do not turn off however.

Oh great heavens! My lantern has seemed to have blown away from a sudden gust, I am at the mercy of Frederick Fitzgerald Fazbear now!


Bro its crazy how non wrestling fans are genuinely enjoying wrestling in these comments very awesome video lol


25:06
I’m not entirely certain but, is that Mike Tyson


@33:25 .... WWE may not be able to replicate that moment but there is another promotion now.


90s kids may now be suffering from economic stagnation just as their professional careers were supposed to kick off, but my god did we have the best wrestling there will ever be.

There are fields of opportunity still open.


33:25 sorry to brake it to you but it did happen and funny enough it was a return as well
  Becuse on August 20 2021 CM Punk return in AEW of all places is now considered or if not rivals a huge crowd reaction and to add insult to injury it was in much bigger crowd inside a stadium, it was rumored beforehand but it didn't effect to the crowd reaction it was a very magical moment


In order to be lover, you gotta be the champion.
You gotta have some water if you wanna be the champion.

In order to be loved, you gotta have some water


Imagine if Twitter was a thing the night Mick pulled that shit...


I'll admit it right now, I never thought I'd see wrestling as anything but sweaty dudes groping each other on the ground. But At the end of the day, we all like something stupid. Even if we can't fathom that it's stupid to everyone else. I never liked Marvel or DC but as I grow older, I begin to appreciate things using a different view.

@Rustler V6 Golden & Attitude eras are cemented in pop culture. New Generation & Ruthless Aggression eras are also beloved by fans, but less iconic in general b/c ratings declined in both.

@ThrottleVinnieModo Golden era developed the formula, attitude and ruthless agression eras cemented it in pop culture

@logo809 Then also remember the New Generation.

@ThrottleVinnieModo this wasnt exactly a peak but dont forget ruthless aggression

@ThrottleVinnieModo i don't know about that number but agree a ton of adults loved wrestling from the beginning. Vince got more kids into it if anything starting in the 80s. The 80s through the early 2000s were the golden years of wrestling. It was so much fun.

@Majin Vegeta Arguable. Especially since Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, Roddy Piper, etc... broke into mainstream media. Meaning that many people around the world who didn't watch wrestling knew who they were.

@ThrottleVinnieModomaybe broski but the attitude era was mainstream & way more popular 👍

@Majin Vegeta There were two peaks: Golden Era & Attitude Era.

@ThrottleVinnieModo lol ill give you that one bro, but the attitude era is when wwe peaked. Its all been downhill from there  😞

Wrestling is also sweaty chicks groping each other on the ground. Any form of entertainment can be stupid, but that does not mean it always is. Just because there is Justin Bieber does not mean that there was no Beatles. Joel Schumacher's Batman & Robin existed, but so did Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight. While the WWE has featured many dumb ideas that even fans would shake their heads to, it has also provided many exciting moments that amazes people to this day such as the Mick Foley Hell in a Cell match in the video.

@Majin Vegeta Hence, nothing to do w/ growing up.

@ThrottleVinnieModoyeah bro because it used to be edgy ass hell & always pushed the envelope..

@Majin Vegeta The 80s & 90s crowd were 99% adults.

@PAPITOFLOW 6969 you cant deny the fact that the product has been straight trash for like the past 10-15 years 😞 wwe has been for babies & kids only


To be strictly fair to Vince, which is not something I make a habit of doing, he didn't inherit the company at all. He bought it from his father. And he somehow embodies the "I would never ask you to do something I wouldn't do myself" mantra. As he has...unfortunately proven. Many times.


Only now do I notice that NASCAR  held the number 2 spot for highest viewship during the late 90's and early 00's.


the best video on the wwe i've ever watched


Also backlash 2000 when rock won the title from hhh was the loudest pop ever. And guess what? Stone cold was part of both!


Gave the video a like for the mostly for reminding me of mr socko. A real nostalgia trip


I was too there when mankind win his first title


Wait...Is EmpLemon that Redditor who keeps bringing everything back to Undertaker throwing Mankind off of Hell In A Cell?

EmpLemon I was familiar with a lot of these wrestlers due to the old friend, but still I learned a lot from this.

@Qui-Gon Jinn It had worked in the past for them and it backfired. They knew for about one good week and I agree and the finger poke of doom would have been the beginning of the end for the WWF.  Russo was a genius for developing that but Bishoff just had to open his mouth to tell Tony to leak the results during the break. If they would have done the top of the show then it would have been less effective to their demise. Then WCW had better owners that actually cared then they would have recovered from that. WWE will fall under its own weight. They shot themselves in the foot at the right time about 6 days after the War was over. They need to survive one more week then the tides of war would have changed again with Austin shaking hands with Satan himself.

@JB Jr WCW would've won the the Monday night wars, if it wasnt for the commentators who couldn't know their role and shut their mouth.

Dude, WWE is dying and fading away and nobody cares about Raw anymore. WCW should have won and WWE should have died and fallen. Russo helped the WWE over WCW and he tried to put WCW back in competition.  WWE will not be around in 10 years and WCW had better talent. Enjoy the epic demise of WWE.  WCW is still technically alive with needing the WWE to die to raise from the grave. I will use The Crow reference, the Crow itself will be the connection between the moral world to the metaphysical world.  The finger poke of doom and WCW gave the results that turned the tide of war.

What's funny is that most people replying don't understand the reference.

Fun Fact: My first words as a child was WWE. Probably says something about the type of person I am.


"A literal tank" that isnt literally a tank lol


I always said that Professional Wrestling is theatrical dancing.
Its a cooperational sport (despite portraying the opposite) that includes acting and following a (more or less defined) cheoreography.

I piss off everyone with that. Both Pro Wrestling fans and people still not understanding that we know its a work.
The first are pissed of because "Theater" and "Dancing" are dIsReSpEcTfUl terms towards PW.
And the others are pissed because i dared to 1. disagree that fake = bad and 2. say its a real sport (by saying its dancing// nobody can deny that dancing is a sport), just not a competitive one.


In all honesty,  I thought The Rock was the hero not the villain.


You're amazing EmpLemon. Just 5 minutes in thinking about how much I appreciate your way of articulating your views.


You went too far saying Goku isn’t real. He’s real to me, dammit!


I always referred to it as male soap opera’s with all the ongoing story lines


The Steve Austin bald line would of been great for a keeps ad.


this is my favourite emplemon video hands down


You’re content gives me faith in YouTube, thank you for making 30 minutes feel like 5


Even though it’s not real and there not hitting each other,it is still a contact sport and they do get hurt when taking bumps like top rope spots or table and ladder spots

Yeah I’ve seen Walter he’s like German Brock lesnar


Uploaded on the 20th anniversary of Mick winning the title ;)


To be real tho. Wrestling will NEVER be like this again!! They lost their edge


1999 ratings sheet" WWE, NASCAR, Rugrats" Yeah that's pretty much the 90's. lol


Quick correction, Vince McMahon BOUGHT his father's business. He did not "inherit" it. Big difference.


Wrestling in the 80s and 90s even at the turn of the century it was entertaining but alas like so many things I am no longer entertained I guess I'm just tired.

That was on Nitro, but still an iconic moment nonetheless  ; )


Oh my God, Vince Sr looks so much like Jon Voight, I thought it was him until I looked it up.


AEW exist now. They'll be rivaling the WWE in the next few years


@6:48 Vince McMahon started out with nothing, except a small inheritance of a @7:58 booming wrestling empire.


Didn’t think the second episode could live up to the first, but here we are.


Why did the 12 year old in me get upset for 2 seconds when he said Luke Skywalker isn’t real 😂😂😂


thank you for giving me context for that one line in the 2nd "basically a tom scott video"


Why did you not show the final count and crowd reaction for the Mankind vs The Rock match? You literally stopped it at the two count.. I'm frustrated by all the little things like that that plague the video.


Commentary is to pro wrestling what scores are to movies. Sure, you can enjoy what you see without it, but with it, it just gets a whole lot better.


Exactly! The WWE championship is the top prize! NOT the universal championship


I’m going to have to do a lot of stuff to be loved!


That guy getting slammed into thumb tacks just…. <b>screams</b>

Wrong again.  He didnt "overhaul", he LITTERLY DESTROYED the teritories that didnt sell to him.  He blocked there tv access, and bought the buildings they ran in.  Thats not "overhaul" that is playing dirty and destroying the foundation of 100 years of wrestling!


This video got me into watching professional wrestling


fuck man, i choked up a few times.  those were the days man, wrestling was so tight n bad ass back then.  nostalgia's a bitch sometimes.


The two men who were involved in the finger-poke-of-doom, Hulk Hogan and Kevin Nash were once one of Vince McMahon's "Boyz", and Kevin Nash during this time (I think) was a booker 👀💀 that's all I'm saying, but you can read between the lines.


you're way to good at getting me into random shit


Daniel Bryan turning on Bray Wyatt was absolutely bonkers.


Dude I remember when I used to get so fucking into this shit every monday night


He was lowkey dissing tf outta mick foley while describing him


Just to clarify, Tony Schiavone was directed to make that "butts in the seats" line by Eric Bischoff


"Fake" and scripted are two different words, with two different definitions.


But there was another show very much like Raw that actually was more popular than raw for a cpl of years and that was Monday Nitro


My favorite match of all time is that mankind vs taker 98 Hell in a cell


Wonderful video! Love your editing :) have an excellent day friend


That Mumkey Jones reference made me realise how much I miss him :(

We should get Mumkey back. They took him from us and we need to take him back even by force.

He's coming back in a week. Tune into "Mumkey's Declassified Channel Ban Survival Guide" on MumkeyJones.tv


Raw was the shit back in the day, now its Smackdown and NXT carrying WWE, Raw is a ghost of its former self


I'm only 30 seconds in and I really want to comment about how I only know "Macho Man" Randy Savage because of a certain gamer who likes a rocket weapon too much...

(That being Cosolix, who is most seen playing Brawlhalla as Macho Man)


I'm out after he compared WWF to theater 😂😂


"Not brought on from what was in the ring" I disagree hard here lol, WWE has dropped tremendously in quality, things like AEW and NJPW will overtake WWE i popularity im sure

AEW and NJPW overtake WWE in terms of quality, but not popularity. The WWE is a monopoly, that people would pursue a career in the land of the Giants. The ones who would head to NJPW or AEW are either Natives of Japan or try to escape the harsh conditions of WWE. Those two promotions are only known for the hardcore fans


What IS real is the punishing schedule that pro wrestlers keep.  Also, what is real are the injuries these people accumulate.  That alone deserves respect.  Trump was born rich...


Hogan in his 30s looks like my dad now in his late 50s


New WWE just doesnt hit the same as old school WWF. They still did fucked up shit in WWE like Kane killing paul bearer or randy ortan going on a murderous rampage but when triple H went to randy ortans house and threw him through a window, it was unmatched


I'm watching this again so that papa Emp gets good algorithms.

I'm replying to your awesome comment with amazing positive language for good algorithms. Have a nice day!


for people who dosent even watch wrestling they only know 1 or 2 names it will be commonly john cena or the rock


*clap* *clap* that was well told good sir.


you said that every character in smash is fake, which is in fact not true as one of the characters, R.O.B., is a real life accessory for the nes. i get your point still and having that mistake corrected in the video would take away from what you were saying, but still.

LOL “oldest ever manatee in captivity died by accidentally swimming into an off limits drainage area”

Manatees really are just the most goofy, mr magoo animals on the face of the planet

EDIT: the fact that you have to break down suspension of disbelief when it comes to wrestling in the 21st century is fucking shocking to me, man. Anyone who tacitly claims intellectual superiority for “knowing that wrestling is fake” is the butt of a hilariously ironic joke.


today is Jan 11 (the day this comment was written).

Monday Night Raw turned 29. And it'll turn 30 the next year.

I didnt live those moments, but, still, its impressive how McMahon rose his own empire from scratch.


Damn I always thought wrestling was like a even gayer opera. Mcfole was a legend for taking that beating, props or not that's impressive


This should be one of the classic videos of you tube


finally i can show a video about wrestling to my girlfriend!!


18:40 Medical personal, cuts to a shot of Terry Funk lmao Idk why that made me laugh lol


At 24:30.  Love the Mudasir reference. Feels like an easter egg. Love it


Modern RAW has none of this magic though

So we are going to pretend that Becky Lynch doesn't exist? Alright then

@Ash Ketchum That circus act and shit story and no consistent story

@Ash Ketchum NXT is ran by Triple H so I consider that different

CrushedBig D Do you even watch NXT? Or any of the 2018 episodes of Smackdown?

He's more or less talking about the 80s, attitude era and ruthless aggression era. WWE in it's current state has been garbage and the only noteworthy things to happen in the last decade are The Summer of Punk (CM Punk 2011) and Daniel Bryans yes movement. other than that, absolute garbage scripts, watered down matches, and it literally feels like a show for kids to watch to make them fall asleep easier.


if you want to get anyone into wrestling just show them the scott steiner math video


I love the background music in the intro, donkey Kong is my favorite game and I forgot what game that music is from but I remember spending hours of my day on my 3DS playing that game

Dope video. I feel that those born after 2000 just don't "get" hope popular WWF was and how it was truly a cultural phenomenon and a representative of the zeitgeist of the time - especially the 90's counter-culture and "attitude" of the time. I think it's something that just could never occur after the introduction of the internet and social media and the "fall" of cable TV.


Damn AEW is the same as WCW but could end up being more successful


It's not just that they replaced it with something new and arguably better, but they got rid of the iconic Coca Cola script logo and I swear that had to have made a huge difference in how people reacted. That logo is so iconic, it would be like McDonald's getting rid of the Golden Arches "M" logo. I can't even think of a logo that's on the same level as that, but having that kind of brand recognition is really important and they almost threw it away.


Imagine if the video just ended at 2:24. That would be fucking hilarious


Been a wrestling fan since I was 5 years old when people find out they exactly say that and that's when I turn around and tellthem but you love The avengers and not really either 😂


Wrestling companies make better live action anime on accident than Netflix makes on purpose


Only emp can compare william shakespeare to pro wrestling


I stopped watching after CM punk and cena feud. It was the best match and punk won in Chicago and then he left and so did I. Now there are no names like the old and also no stories that I can care enough.


Both got their companies from their fathers. Vince bought WWE from Vince Sr after working for him and Fred Trump gave the Trump Organization to Donald. Both changed the names of the companies after getting the companies from their dads.


Pro Wrestling is such a quintessential American thing thats actually freaking awesome. Like fried chicken, Hip Hop and Chuck Norris.


I still dc for wrestling but I luv ur content and this video so I watched anyways :)


But hey wait a minute..... Isn't R.O.B. the robot...a REAL robot?


It’s really interesting to view professional wrestling as theater. Completely changes my mindset about ha ha wrestling fake entertainment not real wrestling ha ha


This is honestly the best thing I have watched on yt in a while


I bet that was some shit to know you said it's the only game in town(which it was) only to find out a few days later AEW was a thing lol


Literally got a VISA card ad that was styled for WWE as I watch this video lmao


EmpLemon can make a video about septic tanks and make it sound philosophical


I hate Vince McMahon as an actual human and think wrestling is trash but I can't deny that my friends and I had a lot of fun in the mid to late 90's watching Nitro and Raw


There will never be another Monday night raw... AEW says "Hi"


if ur a real one u remember when the WWE video games had a mode about the war with WCW


Noooo!!! Its not "theatre"!! It IS an anthletic competition! Theatre doesnt actually hit one another!


There will Never Ever be another movie like Star Wars


small edit: WWE killed professional wrestling


>Drove a literal tank to the front door

>Cut to video of them riding in a jeep that has been turned into a technical truck

Classic.

WWE famously (infamously) always refer to it as a tank. insisting

It might've been part of the joke. :P

@Random man It's more their attitudes. When you put something up online you're accepting the fact that people can reply to it for as long as it's up.

@Spilt Ice Tea yeah why are they replying so late?

Everyone in this comment chain is somehow annoying.

@LordOfTheBees >replying to months old comments

>implying you were even around when greentext began


"He started with nothing" Yeah because his rich dad is nothing right.

His rich dad never raised him. Matter fact, Vince had to come to him for work because his life of poverty was getting to him. The two were not close at all.


The reason why they teach Shakespeare during high school is because they know alot of people aren't gonna learn anymore about anything after that. They at least give us a chance. Not EVERYONE  hates school......I loved learning.


It seems like you either hate or love pro wrestling


I think he means Monday Night Raw, when it was Raw Is War.


Dont be a fool and please understand that if things can slide one way, they can slide the other way. NEVER EVER is a clickbait term, not a wise one...


The Highlander reference was quite witty.


Where can I watch old wrestling shows all the way through? I feel like quarentine is a great time to get shitfaced with the boys on discord and go through an entire year of wrestling, in order

thanks!

@Skoop perrffffff. you just made a random group of fellas very happy. thanks!

@Jesus Christ Tha O.G. no problem man. You were just in time too. Wrestlemania week is going on rn

WWE recently moved thair library to Peacock if you want to try there. There's also the WWE Network if you're not in the United States.


Fantastic editing. My partner found the thesis easy to follow even as a recent wrestling fan. Extremely intelligent.


"Literal Tank"
- is actually just a car with a fake cannon glued on it -

The Video is pretty good for people completely new to Wrestling but there are some things that bother me a bit. Like:
Stunning Steve an AVERAGE Wrestler? Wow. Talk about forgetting all about the Hollywood Blondes, eh? Austin always was a freakishly good Wrestler. Both in terms of Promos as well as in work rate. He was just given rubbish material to work with more then once. But when he got the right thing (see Hollywood Blondes) he absolutely nailed it.
No mention at all of the Montreal Screwjob? That was the very event that outed McMahon as the de facto owner of the company and the moment when he took up an on-screen heel role as that. With a large reason why people hating him was because he screwed over Bret Hart.
It's a decline not from what's happening in the Ring? Sorry but that could not be further from the truth. If that was the case then AEW sure as hell wouldn't exist and starting to match the WWE Main-Shows in ratings.
WWE had MULTIPLE chances to replicate Stone-Cold-Moments from the Attitude Era even once they turned PC. By now the list of Talent they alienated with their terrible decisions who could've been on the top is a lot longer then actually successful projects. And people like CM Punk or Daniel Bryan are just the tip of the iceberg there. Just look how much time they wasted on trying to get Roman over as the generic Face. Look how the butchered Broken-Matt. How they wasted so many promising NXT-Talents because Vince at some point looses interest in them like they are some kind of toys and like crowd reaction just ain't a thing. Look how they constantly bring back old, often washed out, Wrestlers to walk over new Talent. How they waste genius Tag-Teams and Staples because Vince doesn't like Tag-Team Wrestling or wants Cena to walk all over the Nexus, killing their momentum in the process. And do we REALLY have to talk about poor Bray Wyatt? When they started with the Fun-House and The Fiend I though "Well shit. This is gonna be the next Undertaker". Yeah... nope. In every other company creative people like Bray would already be at the top of the Main Card. I wonder how many Wrestle-Mania Main-Events he got under his belt. Oh look. It's the same as CM Punk. None.
Not putting Punk into the Main even with Rock and Cena AT THE VERY LEAST was as much of a mistake as ousting people like Cody Rhodes with their terrible creative choices. And look what that particular thing got them? I get that you made this before the AEW announcement but you did already saw All In happening. That must've been a indicator.

But finally: I am VERY happy, that there will never be another show like Attitude-Era Raw. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of things I really wish they would lean into again. But on a whole we always tend to forget the absolute worst about that time through the filter of nostalgia. Like the fact that there was just no Womens Wrestling for years and even then we barely got beyond shit like "Bra and Panties Matches" for a long time. Or the ever so slightly present Racism and Homophobia. Or Incest angles. Or countless disappointing Match-Finishes (I swear half the RAW matches ended in DQ's). If you go back to it on the Network (well or Peacock now I guess) and rewatch those Episodes, you'll notice that a lot of it just becomes extremely unwatchable. I often see that many fans think going back to how or what the attitude era was will fix something. Like blaming it all on PG that WWE got so stale. I promise you it has nothing to do with that.

WWE only called the jeep a tank because they took "The Monday Night Wars" name too literally and convinced themselves that 2 wrestling companies competing to be the better one was an actual, literal war.


I always thought of wrestling like a very aggressive and dangerous form of theater which was actually enjoyable


Oh fuck yeah Monday Night Raw was so entertaining


Pro wrestling is just anime irl, there, it's that easy


Wrong also about the Tv ratings.  Wrestling was ALWAYS top of ratings UNTIL the early 90s.


>YouTube takes down Emplemon and terminates Siivagunner

Not starting 2019 off to well, eh YouTube?

@Pferd Schild Do you know 4chan greentexts?

@⁓ fanimations. ⁓ you may notice I also used an uppercase i in my comment, as it should be

@aceman0000099 SiivaGunner is the actual name of Silva's [latest (at the time of this comment)] channel, because his last channel (which was SilvaGunner) got terminated

what the fuck? when<br>did siIva got taken down?

"None of the characters in Super Smash Bros are real"

This noob's never heard of ROB the Robot I guess....

@XkidXuglyX I think because his parents were divorced, his dad owned a company and was rich while his mom was poor and didn't have much.

Also how do you grow up dirt poor and inherit ownership of a booming wrestling organization


I feel sorry for people that didn’t grow up with this


Only somebody like you would make me appreciate WWE, jesus.

Really great video man!


6:33 sad that a NASCAR race at Rockingham was oh so close beating out the WWF.... OH WAIT, it was a just boring predictable race that day


I NEVER KNEW SOMEONE PULLED A GUN OUT FOR A PROMO

There will never be another man like Gaston.

No one replies to his own comment like Gaston

@James Cannon K, imma wait another 8 months to reply.


I wonder how many "Wrestling" fans believed it was real at some point?

Doubt many. It was like a magic show more than reality.mqe KNEW something was up, but not exactly what.
We know someone couldn't take certain beatings and come right back, BUT they ARE jacked up and in a lot better shape. But chairs and such too? Ok...now we KNOW it's notright, but we see them hit, he fell, he got angry or hurt....ok..real enjfh for me to enjoy this.
Shit as kids we did the same and we knew just how much to joke back to make it entertaining and yet bot kill each other.
For me, the only thing I didn't know was that the moves were communicated.
I thiught they just acted and reacted on the spot. That's how we did it as kids. And whomever was too tired to go on, lost. Tapped or pinned. I didn't know they planned who won.
I mean, for us, we planned sometimes. On our own pay per view or big matches for the story progression, but the story reacted to whomever was on top, based on real.."real" bouts. Whomever won by more stamina and toughness to get to top. Then there were only a few planned hits for rivals. Letting someone win just to fight the other guy. Or lose to drop down in ranks just to have a rematch with someone else. Other than that, real fights lol.
Bo one got really dazed but you didn't know what move you were going to be put in till they tried and THEN you go along with it to make it look good.
So...wrestling was..REAL ENOUGH.
Drop kicks DID hit. Punches hit, but just enough. Chairs,  however, touched just enough for noise, bit with slow aimed hits that the other person can react to for the show.
So SEEING hits commect and.not in a soft.pussy way..more like Asian actors who do real contexts to look as real as possible, made it more believable
No, itwasnt real, wemknew it...but it had enough in there to believe the magic


Saying triple H got his rise from Stephanie is trash. He worked his ass off for 15 years before he married her. Triple H is on my personal Rushmore with Austin, The Rock, and the Undertaker. The attitude era will always reighn supreme. Shawn, Bret, Terry, Dusty, and sting are up their also. The attitude era will never be beaten.


2:40 The money we spend on them is. FACTS!

A jeep with a 30mm and a tank are 2 totally different things lol


AEW has the Cobra Kai effect on the WWE.....  AEW would beat WWE Smackdown or Raw by April 2022 if AEW's ratings start to improve and increase depends how low rated the brand is, most likely to Raw. by 2037 to 2039, if AEW is still alive, would be really boring and crap and another wrestling organization would be formed by disgruntled, mistreated AEW wrestlers.


I don’t know TNA IMPACT every Thursday on SpikeTV was pretty legit


Monday night would have Walker texas ranger at 8 than RAW at 9-11... Monday were lit 🤣🤣 plus MNF 🤷♂


I for one, don’t like sponge bob and liked wrestling a lot when I was in middle school


Jan 4th 1999, Austin helped Mankind (Triple H, Xpac, Chyna, and Billy Gunn) which his entry was the loudest, defeated the rock and Corporate team (with Kane, Ken Shamrock )


mankind finally beating their overlords with a little help from yeehaw land.


The under taker match went 15 mins to far


this and super eyepatch wolf's video are the reason why I respect wrestlers


4:49
Guy in basement watching turns around to said stick:
"For now my precious"🥴


Emplemon can you do a video on there will never ever be another bad guy team like the NWO


The moment Nick got slammed onto the thumbtacks, i got an ad that started with “M +17, voilence and gore“ LOL


wow this video was very good. thank you lemon


Monday Night Raw has influenced a whole gen to the point i can't even read the phrase "NEVER EVER" without hearing the only & only "Chris Jericho Y2J" Say it. EPIC


& Now AEW exists & they're helping build back up existing US companies like Impact (once TNA) NWA, soon probably ROH, and advancing NJPW 's status in the the US as well as reminding/introducing these companies to audiences around the world.

12:49 quietly wispers Katie Vick

As someone who has never watched wrestling idk why but this whole thing is a level of ridiculous that keeps me from not smiling


I dunno the wrestling itself is awesome its just everything else that makes it lame.


Vince screwed Brett Heart. That made him a villan, and he leaned into it.


I’m Not into wrestling at all but this is actually really interesting

kai crenshaw you should give a show called AEW Dynamite on Wednesdays at 8pm, it’s more sports based and catered towards adults.


But Smackdown is kinda like Raw and that’s another show


ok idk if its staged them being hurt is enough realism for me to consider it real and not theater <br>the shit mick foley went through for that is insane

ok idk if its staged them being hurt is enough realism for me to consider it real and not theater
the shit mick foley went through for that is insane

The wrestling is real. The story/outcome isn't. That's how I see it.


I swear to god, Emp said something about Vince and Shane McMahon vs Randy Orton and Jesus Christ but I can't find anything about it anywhere? Can someone please fact check this


Aew is much better than current WWE programming, back in the day? I dunno, I'd probably watch both since they're on on different days


Mick Foley is one of the most inspirational people ever imo


5:36 POV: You are the protagonist of a Kikuo song


I like your documentaries for whatever reason. I don't even care about the topics. Are you a wizard?


Bad guy Vince is the best ever. Best music. Best swagger. So funny.


Wait, is that the "Respect Your Elders" beat at 23:25? LMAO.

The Rock: Fuck you, you pieces of crap.
The Audience: My B.


there will Never Ever be another channel like EmpLemon


"stoic adults". I think you meant to say "closeted man babies"


Dude is pretty much talking about the Attitude Era LOL.


In the grand scheme of pro wrestling, everyone watches to see the baby face get hurt.


Got a kind of Jon Bois vibe from this. Especially in the editing and music. If you haven’t watched Fighting in the Age of Loneliness, you have to. Achieves the same feat as this video, being that it’s watchable even if you don’t like the sport

Holy shit in not the only one who realizes this. That's how I feel his vids have been like, it's very enjoyable.


calls a jeep with a recoiless rifle a tank. I have lost faith.


These days though Raw makes people fall asleep in their seats rather than jump out of them.


i cannot get the the thought that feddy fadbear music has been playing throughout an entire segment of this video


Remember when Monday Night Raw used to be awesome and worth your night?

Pepperidge Farms Remembers.

Remember when half the crowd looked like it was 3 quarters filled with signs and didnt just have 'smart phones' in their hands

Remember Nitro beats Raw's ass for an entire year. Pepperidge Farms remembers. #WCW4Life; #nWo4Life

I'm so gutted I JUST MISSED the best era of WWF. I was getting into it in 2000, when Heat was shown on Channel 4 in the UK. We did get satellite TV not long after, and always watched Raw and Smackdown until I went to uni in 2003 and no longer had any TV, but it was all downhill. The peak was clearly 1998-2000. I have enjoyed watching TNA for a couple of periods more recently, love AJ Styles, and WCPW was good (now Defiant which I should check out but haven't much yet). Luckily I came back to TNA just as the Broken Matt Hardy thing was taking off, found it hilarious, showed my brother some clips, and then the two of us ended up going to our first live wrestling show when WCPW did a show in town featuring Matt Hardy vs Bully Ray (I think the event was even called "Delete"). I really appreciate pro wrestling but I always end up getting bored after a few months. Currently in an off-period. I'll probably get back into it again at some point.

It still is when you stop hearing those rumors...

Remember when WWE stands for Walk With Elias?


What was the song during the explanation of mankind? Sounded like a video game I loved it!


The second fall foley took wasn’t going to be that bad.  Cheap ass wwf used zip ties and they all broke.  Foley said the first one didn’t hurt at all compared to that fall.  He could of died that day.


I know I'm a couple of years late just seeing this, but good grief this is like the worst of USA Today - a somewhat inaccurate summarization of what happened.  At least this one seems to have good intentions, but just ends up misleading the people watching it.  Take my nothing criticism for what it's worth - that 1.5+m view count seems to indicate Imma be in the minority on this one.


Uhm. Sounds like pro wrestling is a good show


You should do an Episode of either YT Geography or Never Ever of Filthy Frank, or hell just do both.


its just live action anime battles with a live audience


Love the Donkey Kong DK back music at the beginning


I’ve watched this and your Dale video too many times to tell now. You deserve so many more subs. I cannot wait to see what else you’re working on


Open solution is much worse than a cubicle, at least with a cubicle you get a semblance of privacy, with open solution the job is the same but worse because you coworkers and boss are breathing down your neck and vice versa


@24:46 lol well played! But BUT! Shawn is and always will be the true leader and founder of DX. Jussayin. (not the Shawn of today, but tha Shawn of yesteryear)


As I recall, those chants of "Die Rocky Die" were German fans, chanting "The Rocky The"


there will never be another Monstertruck like Big Foot/Grave Digger! When?


"'but emppppp" a lot of you are probably thinking 'professional wrestling isn't real'"

I know. I'm watching this so I understand the thing my best friend cares about so much.


This is the longest mankind-undertaker meme ever


Soap Operas for guys. Easiest way to explain pro wresting.<br>As real as boxing/MMA is, GOOD GRIEF does it try to emulate Pro Wrestling in every way before a match happens to hype it up.

monday night raw nowadays gathers a TV rating of 0.43 maybe try another show like AEW Dynamite or Rampage. You picked the wrong wrestling show. Maybe make reference that WWE not WWF is not doing as good as they did 20 years ago. just wanted to point that out to your audience so they arent confused.<br>EDIT: ok i apologize. i missed the whole point of this video after watching. Well done my dude!!!!!!

@EmpLemon I went to a 2008 Friday Night Smackdown, when Undertaker came into with that gong and I felt chilled & awesome. And I heard about his career and I was ecstatic to see him


5:05 i just realised that the lyrics are from slick rick's children's story


trump actually wasnt a founder of the USFL but rather a team-owner of the New Jersey Generals (same team that drafted Hershel Walker) and was a huge supporter for the USFL to challenge the NFL to try to merge with them, resulting in a lawsuit that the USFL actually won however; the lawsuit did not get them the merger they wanted or a large amount of settlement money like trump thought it would, ending with the USFL getting a check for around $3. all because trump wanted to compete against the NFL in hopes of a merger, the USFL actually had a good thing going since its seasons originally took place during the spring and summer leaving the fall for the already established NFL (also kind of working as a makeshift developmental league for the NFL in the process).


Trade Kramer for Ross any time and Friends is the indisputable winner.


This was so well put together. Loved it. I would be flipping back and forth watching both shows on Monday nights .. Hope when fans return they can be more exited to be there.

My great grandmother and I did the same thing.


That stepdad is kicking himself right now


I think Emp has a deep hatred for manatees


A Literal Tank you say?!😱🤯...shows the literal Jeep used 😒🙄


I love professional wrestling. It’s such an odd art.


and that's the bottom line cuz emplemon said so!


Next do "there will never be another youtube channel like emplemon"


dude i love this, every single second something exciting happens then something else happens and it keeps going on and on!

Idk who you are but I’m 8 minutes in and already you’ve told 2 lies Vince actually bought the company from his dad and it was not a booming empire


Mankind vs...

The Undertaker (cue 8-bit version of Thriller) lol That made me laugh a lot more than it probably should have.


Not a tank! But a jeep with what looks like a anti tank boozka or at cannon.


Just wait until Jon Moxley vs Darby Allin have a feud in dynamite or Andrade and Black getting some well done rivalry

This comment actually aged super well considering now CM Punk and Danielson are probably AEW bound


Damn you didn't say one word about Smackdown lol


Michael cole is the guy who couldn’t do it


Vince didn't inherit his father's business, he bought it from him.


MNR will also be added to the world  Of legends Shows shelf


No one notice the fact that the oldest captive manatee in history dying at 69?


How can Vince McMahon be from a dirt poor household if he inhered the World Wrestling Federation from his father?


I’m still not too interested in live action stuff, but this was really interesting and entertaining. I can see now why my friend, her sister, and so many people love WWE


I felt the late 90s stroke my senses the minute I saw a pic of DX accompanied by the menu theme from “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater”.

Perfect pairing, bro.


Hey buddy

Or tna when it was on mondays

Could u make a episode about the undertaker


Me and my girlfriend have something called "Monday night raw" too.

Nicely done,  this cracked me up.  That's why comments are great

I also have a girlfriend but she goes to a different school that's why you guys don't know her

I hope you didn't just assume "her" gender

Me too we play minecraft and only eat raw meat


I was a bit Smackdown! guy growing up. Didn't really have cable bro.


>goku isn't real
Immediately unsubbed, reported, blocked, ratioed, in the process of burning your house down.

Jokes aside, this video series rocks!!


I was born on the 10th anniversary of Monday night raw no joke


These memes are really spicey, especially if you get them. Great video, you actually made me go back and watch some late '90's RAW. I'd just like to point out that you should've mentioned ECW, since it was an embodiment of 90s counter-culture in wrestling - dirty, brutal, DIY, essential.

I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: The Dudley Boyz are the greatest tag team of all time.

That whole Tommy Dreamer, RVD era was amazing


@10:35 Today WWE is, and has been for the past more than a decade now, trash. Thank god for AEW, since TNA, now Impact, also became trash not long after WWE did.


23:17
Thats clearly cut from a german house show. It actually says Thee Rocky, Thee. Very deceptive editing. 😜


Pedants digression : In ancient Greece they didn't recite the works if homer, they played the role of homer.  As in the aurator walked out and recited these tales from memory. It was an Oral tradition.


The only reason why I stopped watching wrestling was due to it changing in the 2010s. I still watch the older shows but the newer shows just don't feel the same

I stopped watching when they stopped listening to the fans, they used to, the fans started cheering Austin so they pushed him to the moon

Fans today: we hate Cena

WWE today: cool here's another ten title reigns


Aww mate you didn’t actually live through it???? You missed out BIG TIME buddy


Professional wrestling is fake to a extend. Meaning when you see this guy's being thrown.... They are actually being thrown. Most people forget wrestlers end up having a short lifespan in the ring majority of the time just imagine being thrown to sell a move. Also people forget those kick moves to the head are dangerous. Half the time wrestlers end up getting accidentally kicked in the head and have to continue. Also bro no one talks about the pay per view with Kurt angle vs Shane McMahon. That was fucking brutal especially back in the day. It questioned people whether it was fake or actually real.


Lots of people know Andre the Giant tbh, at least if you've watched The Princess Bride


Stone Cold's feud with Vince McMahon and the rise of The Rock is the best thing that ever happened in T.V


Why would there be rape in wrestling?.......

It’s wrestling.........

Not rape........


I don't know if I can take all this nostalgia.


It’s closer to cirque du soleil than Shakespeare.

The story line matters nothing compared to how well the wrestlers can work.


@33:12 Too bad it's nothing but a sad joke of what it used to be. @33:14 And in quality, so makes sense, until AEW came to save Pro wrestling.
@33:20 I disagree, that's exactly the reason.
@33:31 Again I disagree, AEW did it, has done it, does it. But I too thought it wasn't possible before AEW proved me it was, I had lost hope on true great Pro wrestling ever coming back because I thought "they really just can't deliver that anymore", since TNA that once used to be great too now delivers (and again, too has for more than a decade now) the same cringy garbage quality of a show WWE does, well, clearly WWE and TNA completely lost the formula, they just really don't know how to do it anymore. Again, thank god for AEW.


Thanks, now I have ADHD from all the cuts.


Wrestling today feels like a cheap children's show... unlike the attitude  era of wrestling which was and still is badass


Okay, so what I’ve got from this is...

Pro wrestling is just a live action shonen anime

Yeah, pretty much. There's even A more adult oriented version of wrestling (AEW) and there was once even a hardcore version of wrestling (ECW)


The biggest joke about the WWE is the first W


That episode of raw/nitro happened on my 21st birthday


They drove a literal jeep to nitros location


Actually I met someone who didn't like SpongeBob. I put it on at work for the customers kids one time and the women had A FIT! Screaming to turn it off because it's "inappropriate" for children!


If they wanna fix raw now, they should make stone cold gm of raw, and anytime someone pisses him off, he stuns them. Undertaker should be the overseer/grim reaper of SmackDown, and anytime someone pisses him off, the lights cut off, he appears, chokeslam/tombstone to opp, then vanishes. Same for Kane but for raw. And make the rock gm for SmackDown.


I got a weird feeling of deja vu for some reason


It’s Greek theater, soap opera’s, the follies of self.


What would I watch if I wanted to get into modern pro wrestling?

Just get a wwe network trial and watch some old school matches from the 90s and 00s.

@Skoop I appreciate your suggestions and thanks all for the input

@That one time Drake was on SNL I do agree with most of your points, but aew is a young promotion, and pretty soon they're gonna be relying on the same faces for years, with many new prospects lingering in the mid card. Also, you have only been highlighting wwe bad spots, you have not mentioned any of the great storylines that wwe have pumped out in the past year, and I understand that some people like the more fast pace style, but if it goes on, then many fans will leave, because the majority of fans like the slower pace, which explains the dying viewership for wrestling.

AnonymousNebula WWE is slow paced because Vince barely allows the “superstars” to do anything. Calling AEW a spotfest is such a common false insult used by WWE shills all the time. AEW brings action in the ring that keeps you entertained, along with storytelling that uses weekly continuity and builds to a grand culmination, such as with Darby Allin winning the TNT Title from Cody and Kenny Omega becoming the cleaner, destroying everyone, and winning the AEW World Title. WWE uses storytelling that doesn’t lead anywhere with tons of continuity errors. WWE limits those grand stories to only the top of the card or old legends that return magically whenever ratings are down. Also, AEW uses their already established stars to push their younger talent and make them into stars themselves, such as with Darby winning the TNT Title, Jake Roberts managering Lance Archer, Taz building up all of Team Taz, Cody putting over MJF, Sting pairing with Darby, and Brodie Lee winning the TNT Title. WWE does almost nothing to build new stars and have been relying on the same faces for the past 5 years or so. Examples include Goldberg squashing The Fiend and Kevin Owens for the Universal Title for no reason, Triple H going over Booker T at WM 19 in some racist storyline, Drew Gulak going from nearly winning the IC Title to not being used at all, and John Cena burying Wade Barrett in 2010 instead of giving him the WWE title.

@That one time Drake was on SNL Are you sure? Because while raw might me overproduced, there matches are much slower paced, accommodating for much more in ring storytelling, whilst aew's matches are mostly spotfests.

AnonymousNebula ...and AEW has much higher quality than WWE.

@That one time Drake was on SNL you can't take that as a variable though, it's all about the quality of a promotion

You'd watch AEW. WWE is the worst place to start right now. AEW is the one that's gaining people's attention and drawing bigger numbers than WWE at many points, and they've only existed for a year!


Or better yet it's saying hold my whiskey


19:49
Can someone please explain this to me. I am not very well versed.


God damn it I should have seen the copypasta coming


Do one for Kirby: Right Back At Ya. It was one of my most different animes of it's time. Better than Mario's or Sonic's.


Basically pro wrestling is the real life equivalent of anime tournament arcs.


Monday Night Raw these days: Zzzzzzzzzzz


"nitro" is almost the same as "night raw" and you can't copyright "monday"

i mean you can't trademark just "monday", also monday night raw should have sued monday nitro


No I can vary vary visualize those folks and you ain't got to explain nothing to me iam 47 and been hooked from somewhere around 5 years old my dad was a high school wrestling coach for like 50 + any way because of that he hated tv wrestling and pro wrestling is real the out comes are pre determined sometimes sometimes its called on the fly either way the athleticism the bumps the dangers all real nit to mention the world series has been proven to be riged before shows in boxing have been allegedly  riged for a century pretty sure just cause it ain't proven don't mean shit but pretty sure the super bowel and football has had everything from bribed reefs to possibly whole freaking teams so that being said whats so fake about wrestling any way you got you're opinions and I respect that and so far this is entertaining but no need to explain why you like wrestling


No stone cold can hold an audience better


My former Governor can beat up your former Governor.

 Side note if you start talking to Jesse V get comfy you'll be there for a minute.


Was that Gran Turismo 4 Music i'm hearing at 9:24?  Gooood taste


true wrestling fans know that the attitude era of wwe,   was the worst time of proffesional wrestling.
lots of people watched the show,   but  they did it for gimmick matches,   stupid storylines and violence television.    and the crowd ?  'a bunch of drunk perverts.   just a soft version of ECW-the ultimate garbage bingo hall "wrestling"
nitro was beating wwf because people didnt want to watch garbage wrestling.      they wanted to see the stars of the NWA like ric flair  on live television fight a badass faction- NWO.     on wwf mankind was crying...


What when down in June of 96 and 97 when RAW spiked over Nitro?


25:25 “A literal tank” Actually it’s a Jeep.

@JoJo Enjoyer Nope, it's either a Technical or a Gun Carriage.


4:48, Five nights at Freddys fans be shivering thy timbers at this very moment.


I honestly believe they had a second shot at one of those moments in time but they ran CM Punk out of the business.  I think he was the last vestige of that kind of performer.  Dude never should have gone into MMA.  He was a brilliant entertainer.

@Ghostface01  Well here's what Punk said "There's no way you didn't do that on purpose. You either say you did it on purpose or say you're dumb as fuck" and ryback said "I'm dumb as fuck I'm sorry" So he didn't really say it was on purpose he just talked about questioning Ryback about it. Either way it still isn't good to really punch someone especially if you have broken ribs I'm sure it would be hard to throw a proper punch if you can barely even stand so what's the point it wouldn't be full force anyway

@Ghostface01 Two wrongs don't make a right. It isn't ok to hurt someone. Do you think it shows toughness to assault people? Punk realized that accidents happen he's not some roid rage meathead. Did Steve Austin attack Owen Hart after he broke his neck? No because Steve realized that accidents happen and pro wrestling is dangerous. Did The Rock attack Mick Foley after he beat his face in with a chair? No because once again he understood it happens in pro wrestling and it's ok to be mad about it but don't assault someone because you're afraid of not being some tough guy

@Ghostface01 it's not that Ryback was just stiff he was absolute shit at everything and legitimately hurt people

Ghostface01 - I hate CM punk and love talking shit about him any chance I get. But to say"he was never a draw" is wrong.

Punk is too much of an egoist to return anyways...

Man, really hurt bad hearing that Colt Cabana podcast... really can’t blame him losing his heart for something, whether it was as one-sided as Punk said or not... Pour one out for the guy

Christian Williamson well the managed to do it once more afterwards with daniel brayans wrestlemania win but cm punk definitely couldve pulled that off


Comparing Harry Potter to Drone Strikes on Google Trends is hilarious.


What’s the song at 18:05? I can’t tell which one from the pastebin link


there will Never Ever be another show like WCW<br>Cause it's dead. R.I.P

there will Never Ever be another show like WCW
Cause it's dead. R.I.P

People shit on WCW too much, they had some pretty good stuff going for them. I hope AEW (or ROH and NJPW) shoots up in popularity enough to be considered possible competition to the WWE so we can finally have competition again.


Idk Daniel Bryan winning at Wrestlemania 30 looked like the best replication to Mick Foley winning the title

Ehh kinda. The guy was able to wrestle, especially how he resembled Benoit in terms of the ring. Bryan was successful in the indipendent circuit. He was written to be an underdog. Foley was the underdog because he was only used to get beat up and that's it.


Santa and professional Wrestling are real, cope


Finding out that wrestling is fake is worse than finding out you're adopted


So you're ashamed you like wrestling?
Well that saves me some time.
Shoe Shoe.


But who took down the video before?

"IT WAS ME AUSTIN, IT WAS ME ALL ALONG AUSTIN!"

Right before he came out and was awarded control of the company. That's how unpredictable it used to be.

BAH GAWD, BAH GAWD HE MUST BE BROKEN IN HALF!


came for the wrestling vibin off the Dirty Hairy song in the background


7:00 Donald trumps networth fluctuates with his feelings bro


"There will Never Ever be another Sport like NASCAR..."<br>(Simply for the facsination of how polarized it's fanbase is...)

"There will Never Ever be another Sport like NASCAR..."
(Simply for the facsination of how polarized it's fanbase is...)

EXPLODYZ Most people don’t even watch NASCAR. More people are into watching the NFL.

@Cassandra Pantaristi Well to be fair that reference is kind of obscure, plus the fact that sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet.

@Spoiled milk GUYS!!! IT'S A REFERENCE TO SOUTH PARK! I DON'T REALLY THINK PEOPLE WHO WATCH NASCAR ARE POOR AND STUPID!

I was hoping people would know it was a joke and reference with the emoticon. But no, people have to think everything is literal these days.

@Mentally Will either that or Emp liked his idea

Especially in the late 90's and early 2000's. Rivalries like Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt elevated the sport to a whole new level and with the arrival of guys like Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR was on a whole new level of popularity and excitement back then. I still watch it today but man do I wish we could go back to those times. Definitely will never be another sport like it.

@irregulargamer13 there is a game it's called Nascar heat. The third one is on ps4 xbox one and pc

I find it weird that I don't find NASCAR enjoyable to watch but id love to play a video game of it, especially if it was online multiplayer.


please tell me that someone has a video of 14:36. That is just awesome.


i picture andre from the princess bride, since he is the brute squad.


The harts are Canadian that was the reason


Never cared for SpongeBob... They should've named him fruit cake


The night when Monday Night Raw was having its most glorious moments, WCW was having one of its infamous ones. And now, AEW and HIAC 2019 happened...


28:08 is there a reason this still of credits just appears randomly in the middle of the video? I haven’t finished all of it but if I get to the end and there IS a reason it’s there I’m still gonna leave this comment. BECAUSE I’M laz


Man, not even a few months into the Biden Residency, and I already miss Trump.


ok I stopped at "one of the most innovative and unique television programs in the world"...


Man, this guy really likes pro-wrestling.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks manatees look dumb


why don't you talk about the attitude era ripping off some of ECW's ideas and characters?

Because it wasn't relevant, and Paul Heyman didn't care at all that they took his ideas because the two would work together before ECW's downfall.


10:49 As a certified southerner, I can confirm that this is what every square mile of the south looks like.


Holy shit
Monday Night Raw
Monday Nit Ro


Fr it was “Monday night raw” vs “Monday night-ro” 😐😐


14:50 My favorite moment ever.

Wrestlings greatest Underdog, Mick Foley....winning the Big Belt!


Now not even the monday night raw is not Monday night raw


Benefits of watching morbius daily:
Day 1 - You watch morbius. Instantly love it.
Day 5 - Improved motivation and productivity. You feel as a whole a stronger human being
Day 10 - you have energy whenever you want and can sleep as long or short as you need to, people start getting jealous
Day 30 - Greater confidence and self-esteem. Mental clarity. Youre able to perfectly recite the script
Day 60 - Increased muscle mass, bone density, and cardiovascular capacity. Testosterone through the roof. Women start talking
Day 120 - Higher sperm count. Increased erection strength and duration. You’ve now memorised the choreography of the entire movie, you can execute the stunts and movements performed to a tee
Day 365 - Your voice deepens, and your skull becomes more chad-like. Increased erection girth and length.
Day 730 - Faster reaction time. 10 additional IQ points.
Day 1500 - Starbucks baristas start writing their numbers on your receipts. Your ex wants to get back together. You feel tempted but ultimately turn her down. You need more time to watch morbius.
Day 3000 - You can't keep up with all your tinder matches. Strange women begin hitting on you in public. You worry about your female boss. Fortunately, she keeps it professional.
Day 6000 - Ex shows up at your door crying and begging you to take her back. You don't even make eye contact—just call the police right away. Your female boss quits. She can't take it anymore and fears what she might do to you if she stays.
Day 12000 - Every swipe on tinder is a match. Even girls you swipe left get matched with you somehow. Romantic messages fill up your inbox every day—all 15gb of it—you upgrade your Gmail account to premium.
Day 30000 - You don't have to work anymore. Matt Sazama Burk Sharpless signs over half of his morbius royalties to you in a grand gesture of love. You tell him you love and appreciate all the good change hes bought to your life. He weeps quietly, but with a smile.
Day 60000 - Scientists propose that attraction to you be classified as its own sexual orientation, which will account for 97.5 percent of the world's population. Paradoxically, you no longer feel any sexual desire. You have achieved a higher consciousness and now love every human-being equally.
Day 100,000 – Your IQ increases by several morbillion. You come up with a workable model of quantum gravity in a rainy Sunday afternoon. Elon Musk steps down from SpaceX to work for you. You decide to put space exploration on hold to focus on achieving clean energy through nuclear fusion.
Day 200,000 - You've solved the problem of nuclear fusion. You also solved the problems of climate change, poverty, crime, and racism. You have been elected the very first President of the World.
Day 500,000 - you’ve watched morbius half a million times. You can psychically project the entire movie into whoever's mind you please. You have achieved everything, understood everything, and solved every problem faced by humanity. All that needs to be done has been done. There's nothing left to do.
You give your fellow humans one last look—they're still not watching morbius, trapped in their primitive way—but you don't judge. The path of Morbius was never meant for the ordinary men.
"Watch morbius. But if you must, use lube." Those were your parting words.
Now, released from all shackles of the mundane, and purified of all imperfections, your body ephemeralizes, as your ever-illuminated consciousness ascends into another dimension. It's morbin' time.


10:51 I know the guy who painted that lol


Rest in Peace Andre, rest in peace big guy


I got 3 words for ya' "ALL ELITE WRESTLING".


Well Smackdown wasn't a thing back then so...


Can you post the original video before all the edits for copyright reasons


the internet killed Tv shows...because when i used to watch Raw no one would ever know what's coming next week....with anticipation i would wait for Monday night raw not knowing what was gonna happen


30:40 this is just sad. They really wouldn't let you play this clip? Is there somewhere I could find it?


The intrajections are sigma male grindset before it was a thing.


there will never ever be another game like team fortress 2

There will never ever be another game like Unreal Tournament

this is true even if people think that overwatch is better than it there still wont be another game like tf2

@Smokestack  Sounds like you just want every shooter to be CoD

There will never be another game like jet set radio future

<b>Lego Star Wars II has entered the chat</b>

*Lego Star Wars II has entered the chat*

Y’all never heard of <br>F O R T N I T E ?

There will never ever be another game like quake.

Yes, brother. The fact is TF2 will never die.

@z #37549 I persisted as well because of tenacious irl friends who were convinced it was the best game ever. I played it for a good 3-4 years my steam only says 75 hours, but that was about 3 computers ago and the time reset on a lot of my games. I almost certainly have over 300 hours in a game I eventually figured out that I could just barely tolerate for the sake of my friends, to the point of most of my hours playing being on my own, thinking that if I could just get better at the game it would be fun. It never was, and what little fun there was, was drained by valve over the course of the game's lifespan. I have almost all the vintage items for all the classes. I did enjoy fucking over both teams as spy just for the fun I could get out of trolling.

Rocket jumping is quite simply the dumbest fucking shit I ever heard of period. Shooting your own feet to propel you is not ingenius its downright moronic to even think about even in the power armor future of quake and unreal tournament. Just because that accident created a gameplay mechanic doesn't mean that the mechanic couldn't have been implement ina manner that took as much skill but was, iunno more sensical. Keep in mind I am the guy that refuses to use the rocket launcher in the first place because I think of it as a scrub weapon. Also keep in mind I main Pharah just to shit on people's parades in Overwatch because creaming entire teams while my group wanks in a corner is the only thing that gives me pleasure in that game now. Its not that I am not good with rockets as at least a dozen couch coop buds learned not to say. The idea of conserving ammo in a rocket launcher is stupid. Use it to destroy vehicles. If there are no vehicles, pick it up so no scrub can and dump its ammo if you find a real gun. I mean what kind of fucking maniac shoots a rocket launch at a man sized target anyway. What a waste of ordinance. Just put three rounds in him.

@Smokestack That makes sense. Getting put into really bad matches while starting out can make people quit easily, especially with the games incredibly steep learning curve. I remember also having pretty bad matches at the beginning. My team isn't doing anything and I'm just getting destroyed by every player on the enemy team, only getting kills from idle players. Yet unlike you I persisted, even to this day I don't know why since I wasn't really getting that much enjoyment from it. I guess the personality and uniqueness of the game kept pulling me back to a few more rounds. The fact that a regular match could turn into a 24 people conga line in a split second was hilarious to me and eventually I got good and the game has been a blast all the way through after that.

While it is true with the medic, I don't think the scout suffers from a bad team. He's a really strong class in the right hands being able to dish out a huge amount of damage up close while still being really fast. It's just not really inviting to newer players with his high skill ceiling but most new players still gravitate to him for his fun concept (kind of like the spy)

Also I'd just like to say rocket jumping is a genius movement system. It's a simple risk reward system of wasting ammo and health for movement. It seems like a bad deal until you realize that soldier is the second slowest class in the game. The soldier is easily the simplest class in the game but rocket jumping adds so much layers to the class with all the intricacies of the mechanic

@z #37549 Its just a matter of having never played a single good game of it. Granted I was a lot younger despite the insinuations of Doll Doctor (Aka probably that guy that sexually molests baby dolls with syringes). No matter what I tried personally including relegating myself to medic and mvping (For my team anyway) most games for weeks on end. Nothing could get me a game that wasn't a steamroll one direction or and any time a close match showed up for some reason that'd be the moment the team balance would be on the server and would turn it into a landslide for one side. I didnt like the playstyle of any of the characters, save the scout and medic both of which are horribly underpowered without the help of a competent team. I've always thought rocket jumping was a fucking stupid concept since Quake and shit. I really don't like explosive weapons as I tend to think they take lot less skill. A myriad of reasons I didn't like the game.

@Smokestack I guess I can kinda see where you're coming from. Everyone has they're own tastes after all!

If you're really interested in why people like the game so much there are tons of analysis videos of it on the internet. Though I strongly suggest Lazy Purple's "TF2 is a timeless masterpiece" and FUNKe's "TF2's diverse complexities" but those more talk about the gameplay side of things and why it holds up so well.

I think Lazy Purples "TF2 is a Timeless Masterpiece" is practically like the concept of this series.

That's because, for the most part, people have stopped making bad games.

Ethan Bean yeah, even the obvious ripoffs like overwatch pale in comparison to tf2

@MetalTrombone What if it's a stupid opinion?

Now that's something that Emplemon has to make a fucking video about my dude.

@Smokestack that is completely okay and im glad you found enjoyment in overwatch, which i also enjoy

U mean hat simulator? The first thing u get is a hat called the gibus. I have 1000 hrs in it. I still suck at it.

@Doll Doctor
>has different opinion on the internet
>is immediately called a small child
Okay

Smokestack You’re probably like 11 years old if you think Overwatch is better than TF2. Go do your homework kid

I'll be honest I'll never understand why people liked Team Fortress 2.TF2 is the reason I almost refused to play Overwatch at all. It took over a year of coaxing and in my OPINION, Overwatch is a far superior game or was before they fiddled with it until it collapsed just like they did with what little fun there was in TF2 for me.

@O D Oh, okay good. Lmao. Overwatch really doesn't compare.

I'm betting this will be chapter 4. Emplemon is/was a huge TF2 fan.

Actually, one could argue Team Fortress 2 is a response to Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. It's essentially the same idea, but it traded open source with source engine.

Right, Overwatch is a very balanced game, if you die, it's obviously your fault👌👌👌👌


The World Wrestling Federation is so much better than the wwe


Did this man really use the leffen disstrack instrumental

23:44


WHAT????? There wasnt ppv bavk in the 80s and 50s🤦.  Promos were to hype up guys for the next match, but it was to sell tickets to go SEE the match or watch it on TV for FREE!!!!!!🤦🤦🤦. Please go watch some Mid South or one of the other big teritories so you can see how it REALLY was and not just how a couple goofs on the internet typed that it was.  Including me!! Go see for yourself!!!! Please!!!!

You reupload this on the 20th anniversary of Mankind winning the WWF Title


27:42 is that Sgt Slaughter in the back left?  And Ben Shapiro up front? Lol


Wrestling is just live-action american anime

@Davis O'Brien Because anime and wrestling are real


My mom could convince me easy that santa isn't real.
Like sure whatever, ofc Santa ain't real.

But if you tell me WWE isn't real. Now that shit is heresy.
Hulk Hogan is a champ and he tells me I can do anything, so hell yeah brother, that champ title is real to me

Hes a champ, and thats enough for me


I remember begging my dad to buy the pay per view events. I remember getting into arguments with my mom that didn't want me to watch this and subsequently sneaking around to watch episodes of raw when she was asleep. I remember getting into arguments in elementary school over who was cooler, Brett Hart or The Heartbreak Kid. You zoomers missed out... Kind of.


Your reduction of theater is so wrong for so many reasons.


Oi That 266lbs fat guy is Kevin Owens! Ya best stay in your lane!

So if you’d like to go over that list I’ll be in my dressing room.”

I have never understood the appeal of wrestling...maybe this video will help me understand. I always thought it was dumb trailer trash entertainment.

Wrestling is like anime for older men. You watch it for the main stars and for the plot. And yeah there's fanservice involving ladies (dat's a fact)

General wrestling fans know it's not real (it's scripted but the moves hurt like hell), but wrestling can storytell a betrayal plot better than Hollywood or live-action anime adaptations at times tbh.


I like the donkey Kong 3 music in background at the start


@34:04 Not counting, it's not like that anymore, stopped counting in around mid-2008. @34:15 I do not appreciate their current bad quality cringe inducing garbage product, and I don't get the people that does. I'm not saying they haven't produced anything good at all since, but mostly.


There will never ever be another EmpLemon
