Hey, being Hogans mate has it's advantages!

Beefcake genuinely being known for a time as "The Man with No Name" despite having had more than a dozen of them is prime irony. Also, Adam missed one as he was also called at some point "The Man with No Face" despite clearly having a face.

Background on the OZ gimmick since it was not explained. At the time The parent company of WCW had just acquired the rights to some classic movies including Wizard of OZ. This was supposed to be synergy in advertising but ended up being terrible like many things in WCW at that time.

10:16 WHOA whoa whoa, Brute Force?! As in currently teaming with Mustafa Ali on Luke Owen's Monday Night Raw???

Trust Adam to worry bout the Bookkeeping and Taxing of Pimps. Best talent on YT hands down 👌

10:15 like brute force the guy who team with Ali in Luke gm mode

The Dragon gimmick did make one of the best looking Hasbro figures though

JBL was also given that gimmick of "Vampiro Americano" because the Canadian Vampiro had been known as "Vampiro Canadiense" while in Mexico. Also, can of coke to Adam for his OSW shout out. Check out their latest video on WCW's infamous Halloween Havoc 98.

A) Adam is at his comedic best when he fills list with sneaky stealth jokes that you don't always immediately register but the moment you do it's like"Gawddamn! Lord English Englishman is funny as hell!" B) I love Ron Simmons & I don't care if he's gladiator satanic acolyte, mercenary, black militant although Gladiator Ron was low-key one my favorite gimmicks like in general I loved it when I was a kid & I actually love it more now. Because when you're part of an under represented minority you give the ppl that look like you way more leeway (this also explains my ♥️ for Charles Papa FUCKIN Shango Robinson* C) Edward Harrison Leslie's entire career is just him playing around with the Create-A-Wrestler mode from Smackdown HCTP. *Gladiator Ron totally looked like one of He-man's allies that you didn't see that often cause he lived on the Westside of Eternian...... you the bad side🚔

A Klanvil reference! Adam does love his OSW…

Sunnyvale Trailer park has always had some funny people residing.

I remember a bloke who used to run a blog following the WWE Hall of Fame who was incensed that Brutus Beefcake was going in because, as he put it, what did he ever accomplish in wrestling other than hosting the breakup of the Rockers? Pretty much nothing. He was just _there._ Never won any championships, never had any good matches, never had any interesting stories, he was just riding Hogan's coattails all the way through the WWF and WCW. And this guy had a very dim view on people being inducted into the Hall of Fame who weren't really significant, notable, or at least _respectable_ players in the industry (you shouldn't even have gotten him started on the celebrity inductees like Drew Carey and Arnold Schwarznegger).

You should do a Top 10 best Hall of Fame Classes/Years.

Fun fact: most of these wrestlers with their bad gimmicks were in 1996 Royal Rumble.

@7:07 Okay Adam, what's worse. The Million Dollar Belt, or the Cena Spinner?

this is why I love Adam

In 1961, Bearcat Wright won the Atlantic Athletic Commission World Heavyweight Championship, giving him the distinction of being the first, unofficial, black world champion. It's unofficial because AAC was an outlaw promotion. Same thing happened when Bobo Brazil defeated Buddy Rogers for the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship in 1962. Bobo's title win went unrecognized because he was working for an outlaw promotion. There's been a lot of black world champions, they just weren't recognized until Ron Simmons. The NWA's first recognized black World's Champion is Ron "The Truth" Killings in 2002.

to in no way diminish Simmons but it loses a lot of luster when you look at the booking around that win -- Sting and Vader were trading the strap, and Sting injured something, so Simmons was randomly selected to get one of Sting's reigns so that A.

Fun watch, but does anyone else find the audio mixing a little off? Adam’s voice dominates the bass and treble, but the mids are all background music. The two are fighting for my attention, with the confusing result of Adam’s voice seeming to be both too loud and too quiet. A great script and list, but I’m wondering if this could be addressed in the future?

An idea for a top 20 Greatest Matches in NXT Takeover History. With 2 caveats. Only one match per takeover and only match per performer. So if the 2 out of 3 falls match between the revival and DIY is on the list, then none of the Gargano/Ciampa Trilogy or Gargano/Cole matches can appear.

Ok so one thing about this is Rikishi WAS from an area of San Francisco called Sunnydale. It’s a very rough area known for project housing. I only know this because my dad went to school with him and knew where he lived. Even when he was at the height of his fame, rikishi’s family still lived in this area. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them still live there

I thought Kish was from the easy bay not Sunnyvale.... "The more ya know," I guess. I live and work in the bay area and do lots of work in Sunnyvale

Not only am I the generation that is young enough that I was introduced to Ricky as "The Dragon"! But I absolutely love that gimmick amazing memories of him. His toy was even legitimately cool. He had an amazing wrestling entrance when he came to the ring when he blew fire into the air. Perhaps there was a bad reason for him to be attempted by wwe, to be labeled as something else! But the limit itself was super badass

Ridicule the barber gimmick all you want but trust me, Brutus was undeniably one of the top guys on WWF's mid-card. The only reason he didn't go higher was because of that parasailing accident. Guy's got to be one of the biggest "what-ifs" in pro wrestling history.
