I'm kinda surprised nobody put Triple H, even at number 9 or 10. At the time, Triple H was THE bad guy, introducing many future stars into main event scene, being a de facto final boss for Daniel Bryan, elevating Batista and Randy in Evolution and serving as a reliable, consistent main event star across many years.

This is a cool format! Discussion side of things keeps things fresh, especially with different guests! Id be intrigued by a 10 favourite matches of all time episode!

I know Pete said he didn’t have much more to add about Stone Cold, but it’s interesting getting to hear stuff from his perspective considering he started watching wrestling later than the other two and this whole thing highlighted just how different everyone’s views on wrestling can be, and it was really cool. It also got me thinking that Steve Austin might be one of the few people who are simultaneously the best at the chase AND at being champion, and I think that’s what makes him the best.

Honestly, super happy to see Backlund make the list. The man was a legit powerhouse and should've been high on all your lists. And while I'm happy Bruno showed up, because obviously, I'm really sad to see Pédro Moráles wasn't here, easily in my top three with Austin and Bruno. I feel even more than Backlund that he gets lost to history. 10- Hulk Hogan 9- Edge 8- Kurt Angle 7- Daniel Bryan 6- Bob Backlund 5- The Rock 4- Brett Hart 3- Pédro Moráles 2- "Stone Cold" Steve Austin 1- Bruno Sammartino

Love the new series! Thanks for all the content, jam that jam!

Totally love this segment! Definitely want to see more of this as it’s so much fun and loving everyone’s in-depth explanation based around their lists. Also, Denise as a special guest is a nice touch and wonderful way to bring this segment into fruition!

Not to nitpick, but the main reason the fans didn't count the three when DB won the gold was because it was the first time he'd used his new finisher, and we didn't realize it was a finisher yet :D

Great twist on the usual list format. Only suggestion might be to have everyone’s full ordered list on screen at the end so viewers can see how close or far apart everyone was.

Very fun watching you reveal your lists together. More of this please. ❤

@@ajk depends on who you ask I guess. Watching wrestling in the late 80s through 2000s I never really made the connection of Flair with either WCW or WWE as world champion. NWA champion sure, as there were pictures and old videos of him carrying that thing around everywhere.

I loved this, it felt like friends just having a fun conversation. Mega plus that I agree with every choice because the pitches just made sense as a fan.

This was so cool, the idea for this video was awesome, I even loved how for one category all three chose Stone Cold Steve Austin and all three individually had different perspectives about why they chose him from their wrestling experiences.

seeing denise on WT again makes me happy

I have to argue that the undertaker was a top 10 world champion. He was the final boss on smackdown and when he held the world title, it made it feel more special and a prize truly worth going after for anyone brave enough to go one on one with the undertaker. Also talking about building their character around the world title, look at triple H during the mid 2000s. His entire character was based on holding the world title and being the top man. You can also throw in batista's name into the hat as well. Both him and taker went back and forth as the top guy on smackdown as the champ.

loved this, hope you make more!

Loving the new format! Great stuff!

Loved this format and video!

I can usually be objective and decide after the video is over whether you have or have not earned a like. But right when I saw Denise, I knew I didn't need to wait for the end, immediate thumbs up. Best personality in the wrestling world. Make her full time WT. Denuke watch along streams, please.

one of the problems with adding Michaels, as good of a wrestler as he is, is that he is forever known as the worst drawing champion in the companies history as a world champion. Surprisingly, that's actually true. For a period of time he was drawing worse numbers than Diesel and Sid.

@fromomelastocarcosa3575

6 ай бұрын

It's subjective and so can be justified as an inclusion as he's so great: but at the end of the day any objective measure (but mostly the single most important one of *being a draw*) says Michaels was a bad champion. It's why despite being basically the GOAT American in the ring he can never credibly be put on a Mt Rushmore of wrestling. Just had no mainstream cut through. They were even pushing it including Bret TBH.

Loved this episode! For all the surprise of how different your answers were, it's worth noting that between the 30 answers given there were only 14 wrestlers mentioned... which means you were all incredibly aligned on who's in the Top 10 even if the order you put them in were different. *Five* of the wrestlers were mentioned by *all 3 of you.* *Six* of the wrestlers were mentioned by *2 of you.* And only _three wrestlers_ were mentioned by only one of you. (Shoutout to Bob Backlund!) You all know your stuff!

I'm surprised not even one of you had HHH on their list. But I do agree with #1. Personal favorite and also a big deal for the business. If he hadn't got injured he would have made the WWE even bigger possibly.

I liked this. Fun to think of all the list ideas I the future.

My personal pick is HBK. The first Raw I ever watched was the one with Owen Hart “injuring” him. Totally bought it.

Great idea. Love this show. Bring more. Best tag team champions

Great vid. Love this 😆

I agree with Denise's placement of the Rock. Remember, this is a WWE Champion list. He didn't need the belt to be supremely over. Typically, he had the belt to get his opponent to the next level or further some story (Austin, HHH, Brock, Cena). He just didn't need it to feel important.

@fromomelastocarcosa3575

6 ай бұрын

Only Denise seemed to understand this. The other two seemed to treat it as a "My favourite wrestlers that were Champion" list outside of perhaps realising HBK and Taker couldn't really be included. The inclusion of Edge considering most of his title reigns were forgettable ones with La Famiglia is just cray-cray. Rock is a borderline Top 10 inclusion, and Punk and Bryan have no business being there either. Putting Sammartino at 9 or 10 is as Denise says, like putting Babe Ruth as 10 on Top 10 Baseball players or Gretzky 10 on NHL players...it would actually have been less insulting to leave him off the list than have him at 9 or 10.

I'm sooo pleased to see Denise back! I miss ur Friday 'magazines' featuring her. I hope this video does well.

That was fun. Good job.

Love Denise’s insight and clear love of the history of the business.

Crazy how you can argue for certain names that aren't on these least as much: Triple H - 2000 Hunter is what I think of when you show me the Attitude Era belt HBK - maybe one of the best babyface wins and heel losses in the title's history Pedro Morales - Next to Bruno, his run is ridiculous Orton - I think of him with the spinner belt as much as Cena Jeff Hardy - Selfish pick. The 2007-2008 chase for the belt and rivalry with Triple H is how you make a star. It was a FINALLY moment in an age of Cena and Orton domination.

This got so much potential love this episode

Jeez, did Luke forget about Cena's best reign from 2006-2007?

Daniel Bryan's run as Planet's Champion >

Love this channel. Love the different shows and this is a great one. But no Triple H or HBK on these lists? That's crazy! Lovely to see Randy Savage get a shout out!

I’m glad Bob Backland got a shout in here.

This was great! Denise was a great welcome to the channel, keep it up fellas!!

Maybe I’m biased since he’s my all time favourite but Shawn Michaels not making any list is crazy. The guy brought a different style to the championship not really seen before. He was a “high flyer” at the time and gave his all in every match. He made every defence dramatic and was always an entertaining watch. Again, just my opinion of course, just shocked he wasn’t mentioned at all.

Yeah dude I was baffled at a few not making any lists like no Undertaker, no Randy Orton, Triple H? I was like mannn lol although when Shawn’s name came to mind, I kinda more so thought about memorable moments and matches and like him as an all time performer. No one title reign really came up at first but I guess the same can be said for a few of the names they did select. Can’t go wrong with any name really tho🤷‍♂️

Denise seems to always be having fun when she’s around the WrestleTalk crew… love to see it

Hell Yeah! He's the reason I've gone back and started watching the attitude era of WWE.

Having female personalities around the WT gang is just better, always. The voice timbres, the modulation, the dynamics, everything feels more appealing and that's great for this kind of content. Also, Denise in particular has an aura that maybe some people don't understand, but she's just great at this, at being in front of a camera. Excellent reboot of this series

i agree with #1 100%. i rarely watched wrestling before 1998. But March 29, 1998 I was at my grandmas house and she had a cable box that got free PPV channels. Watched Wrestlemania 14 and then I was a fan for life

The fact HBK wasn’t on anyone’s list is baffling to me

Love this series. My suggestion is to define the criteria for the list before you name everyone. Because criteria end up being important. Huge fan. I've been listening for years and my first actual comment. Also any list without the man Chris Jericho who made the list is incomplete

To be honest, I don't really like the format but I LOVED seeing Denise with you! I hope you can record something together every now and then

This was fun, could you do a segment at the end where you debate who goes highest in a final list where you take the entrants from all 3 lists. Would be fun to see where people go to bat or dig their heels for their chosen candidates and who doesn't make it to the final 10

1.Bruno Sammartino 2.Hulk Hogan 3.John Cena 4.Stone Cold Steve Austin 5.Bret Hart

Denise was SO on point, totally agreed with pretty much all of her list.

Very enjoyable....

Im sorry but can we please bring back denise. I just found this playlist of videos and denise is hands down one of the best parts of it. She brings so much to the table

I love this new format

Great episode. I genuinely believe if you do this again in 5 years' time, with the right booking, Gunther will be there. What he's done for the intercontinental title, he could do that for the WHC next

As someone who endured through the Reign of Terror it warms my heart that Trips was nowhere to be seen anywhere. Phenomenal heel though.

Very surprised that none of y'all put Triple H in your top 10!

When I started watching wrestling, Bob Backlund was getting beaten by Razor Ramon at Wrestlemania with a Small Package. Weird to find out he was the wrestling machine of his time. That being said, Bret was my champion.

Triple H. I hated him SO MUCH as a kid. But that's why he was so great at his job. And he had banger after banger. HBK and Y2J should probably be on there too. Just for the work rate and Jericho's first world title win over Triple H when the crowd came unglued, just for it to be taken away. Great stuff.

very fun video and series! Can't wait for more episodes :D My (very subjective) list would probably be something like: 1) Bret Hart (to me, THE wwe champion) 2) Stone Cold Steve Austin (probably the coolest champion ever; more like a 1.5 ) 3) Kurt Angle (my personal favourite of all time...he just needed longer reigns. Imagine a full year of unstoppable wrestling machine champion!) 4) Daniel Bryan (the ultimate babyface champion; also, his heel run was great as well!) 5) Eddie Guerrero (kinda forgotten due to his reign being unfortunately short, but such a great and beloved champion) 6) Brock Lesner (the ultimate "final boss" champion...similar to Triple H, but better) 7) Triple H (the original "final boss" character/champion. Some of his runs were definitely not good - coff reign of terror coff - but to me he's one of the definitive heel champions) 8) The Rock (one of the most iconic champions ever. Giving him the belt in 2013 for the stupid "twice in a lifetime" gimmick, however, was a really bad idea) 9) Chris Jericho (one of my all-time favourites...his wwe championship run was terrible, but his whc, especially the 2008 one, was one of the greatest ever. He deserved much more as champion) 10) Macho Man Randy Savage (to me, the champion of the 80s. OOH YEAH)

I agree with most people on this list but I would have added Triple H and The Undertaker

Nice production! Only been a couple of months since Denise was actually in England, lol

Happy to see Denise return.

This is a really fun series idea

I'm looking forward to who else might guest star! SRS for sure, also Dave Bradshaw and perhaps Steve from Going in Raw, complete with his hilarious impersonations?🤣👍

The fact that Shawn Michaels wasn’t on anybody’s list is crazy to me

Edge for me is the best World Heavyweight Champions of all time. He made the World Heavyweight Championship feel important.

Brian being announced as Cena’s opponent, Brooklyn “yes”’d into the night. We were elated, like he already won!

I could never put Roman in the top 10, even with the Bloodline factor. His matches play out the same way every single time and the only time he wins without help is when they actively point out that he can't. To me, a champ also needs to have a locker room presence and Roman's part-timing doesn't provide that, either. Also, it shouldn't be called the Superman Punch when he does it; Supes is a hero and Roman's a villain, call it the Zod Punch or the Doomsday Punch or something.

New produced, edited, and well performed series!!! It’s a good day!!! 🎉

I like this show! Mick Foley Mankind would be my #1 he is my favorite prowrestler of all time so I had to...But your lists are great too.
