MIRROR IMAGES | Wrestling's Opposite Gimmicks!
There’s a saying that every action must have an equal and opposite reaction. And the world of wrestling is pretty similar in that respect too as it happens. Why is this? Well, if you look hard enough, you’re probably going to find a mirror version of any of the major gimmicks out there somewhere. But what are the biggest examples of such a phenomenon? Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to be looking at today. So, join us now as we take a deep dive into Mirror Images: Wrestling’s Opposite Gimmicks.

How could you guys miss a chance to include Jeff Hardy and CM Punk?? They were perfect inclusion to this list

thats fucked up lmao
I would add Ric Flair with two opposites. The first one is Dusty Rhodes. While Flair lived a lavish, luxurious lifestyle, Rhodes was a blue-collar, hard-working, common man. The second is Ricky Steamboat. While Flair was a playboy surrounded by beautiful women, Steamboat was a family man with a wife and son. And you could say that CM Punk is the opposite of The Sandman. While CM Punk lives a straight-edge lifestyle in which he abstains from alcohol, tobacco, and drugs, Sandman's gimmick involves smoking cigarettes and drinking beer.

Should have had Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns. Both come from wrestling families, but Reigns was brought to the top and given all the chances due to it, while Rhodes was dragged to the bottom because of it and got stuck with stardust until leaving for the indies to reinvent himself.

Mordecai Was An Intriguing Figure For The Deadman To Go Toe To Toe With In The Squared Circle Plus I Think Kane Being WWE's Version Michael Myers Was Pretty Iconic And I Personally Understand Why Bret Still Resents Goldberg After All These
I think this one needs a part 2!
How could you forget Team Hell No
How could you have missed out Big Boss Man and Nailz?, a prison guard vs an ex convict from that same prison. Or Big Boss Man vs The Mountie?. Deuce and Domino should have been put into a feud against a tag team that consisted of 2 Mods from the UK, perfect. A tag team of Rockers vs a tag team of Mods.

Riddle has also been released from WWE, meaning the Orton storyline will never end.
Corny and Russo burying each will always be gold lol.

Speaking of The Rock, Mick Foley, and Avatar the Last Airbender.... The Boulder is a character who is voiced by Mick Foley.
Undertaker vs Mordecai would had been great just for the entrances alone.
I loved the mordecai character..even tho undertaker is the deadman and hails from darkness he brings light the wicked ways of the early church father mercenary who killed all with opposing ideas..which would have been the best physical representation of the yin-yang ☯️ the dark mingling with the light and the light mingling with the dark..i really really wished they would have worked with him more n tried to stick it out with him.. they might have had an ungorgettable match like Taker n Mankind or at least pretty damn close
We will never see RK Bro go to blows.. If Orton does come back, Matt Riddle was actually released so he won't be coming back to tag with him.. Which really sucks
I thought in an interview Kevin Thorn said he was pulled from his match with Undertaker because of the bar fight he was involved in.
Great Video! Love the shout out to The Last Airbender and X-men.
Still waiting on more ‘year in review’ videos. I loved those!
Yo!!! I remember wanting Mordecai and Undertaker to be an amazing storyline. That could’ve been FIRE, but it never really went there.
RVD v JCVD would be a good mirror match
Ravashing Rick Rude and Bastion Booger, now there’s an opposition in lifestyle choices and wrestling gimmick if there ever was one !!!!
I miss RKBro! Damn shame Matt Riddle got himself fired!
Owen Hart & Yokozuna was the ultimate odd couple tag team back in 1995.
Kane and abyss
Im betting Riddle will end up in AEW. I could see them putting him and RVD together
There needs to be a part two. You forgot about Booker T and Goldust!
Das Mordecai Gimmick hatte eindeutig das Jahrzehnt verfehlt. Es hätte Anfang der 90er Jahre erscheinen müssen wo Gimmicks wie unter anderem Papa Shango, Kamala oder auch der Berzerker eben gerade Populär waren. Aber 2004 interessierte sich doch kaum noch jemand für so ein Gimmick.
8:00 "just a few weeks later" you forgot to mention that Bret also worked a bunch of matches during those weeks which for sure exacerbated his concussion symptoms. Was Goldberg sometimes reckless in the ring? Yeah. Should Bret have worked several matches after getting severely concussed? No.
i feel like glacier would have done much better if they actually used someone with a strong martial arts background. clearly 3 characters were based of the mortal combat series, but glacier ended up just looking slow and clumsy.
an honorable mention would be the patriotic all American, Hulk Hogan and the USSR communist sympathizer, Nikoli Volkoff. while Hogan supported the values of the American Dream, Volkoff was aligned to Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik ideology. one roots for D.C the other supports Moscow. a similar thing is said between Hulk Hogan and the Iron Shiek. while Hogan supports freedom, Iron Sheik is loyal to the Ayatollah of the Islamic Republic of Iran. i could go on but i think i said enough.
Punk and Cena still respect each other
You didn't mention the wrestler N.Y. Day saying "NOOOO, LET ME LISTEN TO YA"
Even though Punk and Hardy are both rockstar styles, but they have completely opposites in their liives. At least in one major way
we are definetly never going to see a pay off between randy orton and matt riddle now sadly
What's up with your Title Cards? A lot of mistakes and spelling errors lately :(

Yo,right to censure was an underrated act in the Attitude Era,I hope they can bring back that idea in this days.
I cant believe we are talking mirror images but we missed out Kane and Blue Kane (context: kzread.infoBynDSWPsb_Y?si=QWATHq9d50eSe9H3)
Goldberg: The worst there is, the worst there was, the worst there ever will be. I see your point.
Very sad Windham passed so young he had a great head for the business having he’s family everywhere in the business. Hopefully some day we will see the conclusion to RK bro.
To me, Cornette and Russo are both tools. Although, I've never seen hatred in someone's eyes like I see when Cornette talks about Russo; particularly in the Dark Side of the Ring episode about the Brawl for All.

It's in Corny's will... If Russo dies first, Corny's gonna whizz on his grave.
The narrator was right about one thing. Bray Wyatt was one of a kind. We may never see someone like that ever again. It's such a shame, too. I was starting to like his persona.
1:11 Nah Moredicai was a tall blue who worked at a park with a racoon who was he's best named rigby
7:52 Nitro? No that was Starrcade . That's a big detail to overlook.
Honestly Mordeci barely got over during his WWE run
Kevin Thorn's size was another reason Vince pulled the plug on a feud between Mordecai and Undertaker. At 6'4", Vince didn't view Thorn as credible to feud with the Deadman.
I love your content I do have a suggestion. You should do one on the greatest creative minds in Wrestling
I miss Bray Wyat
No Dusty and Flair??? Poor chunky everyman (son of a plumber) VS rich, good looking, silver spoon playboy (whos shoes cost more than your house) …come on you definitely should’ve added them
Rkbro showed how much of a real pro Randy is, he can make almost any role work
If orton wasn’t injured pretty sure he would’ve put riddle in check. Orton had Wild issues going on outside of wwe but he was basically untouchable.
2:42 bad image for fire and water nation battle, the guy on the right is from the air nation
It’s a good day when wrestle with Andy wrestling with Wregret and Markyd123 upload videos
I always thought WCW or NWA missed out when they couldve had Flair & HORSEMEN vs Buddy Landell and hia version of Horsemen couldve worked and couldve had great promos
John Cena/Randy Orton John Cena/The Miz
IMAGINE A CHOP FROM Paul White?! I’m “5’6” so I CAN understand the pain Rey Mysterio felt!! 🤕
Granted he's an indie wrestler, but if you are talking about opposite Kanes, what about Blue Kane? He's like the player 2 version of og Kane, except he has snow instead of pyro and an Emo version of the Eiffel 65 song "I'm Blue" as his theme.
Bret said Goldberg’s kick to the temple cost him millions of dollars
That is unbelievable to be that Rey is 5’6” I always thought he was way shorter
There's evidence that Bret was already concussed before the Goldberg kick, but lookin back on it I'd have liked to see the Hitman beat Goldberg with a Sharpshooter.
Mordecai and Undertaker storyline would've been incredible. And remember, sub-zero, I mean Glacier. Lol. Hey, I thought it was pretty cool.
Interesting video!!!
Also, with Bret Hart being my favorite wrestler of all time, this list helps explain why I never cared for Goldberg.
ooh but you know that Riddle was fired? so how should RKbro return? i dont think that will ever happen.
Bray wyatt ( Waylon Mercy, Raven, Undertaker, Jake the snake, Vampiro) Fiend (Doink, mankind, Abyss, Boogeyman) Abyss (Undertaker, Kane, Mankind)
Glacier!?!? Am i the only one who thought that Abyss was going to be the counterpart that was mentioned?
RTC was a genius act (lol).
I've never seen how Goldberg's kick hurt Bret so much. Used to see stiffer shots every ECW match.
@sonicslv6132
8 ай бұрын
Yeah I always think it just freak accident that somehow do critical damage to Bret. In many other instance, it would be just stiff kick. And to be fair, the opponent has more control on superkick, especially in this instance where Bret is the one that moving from the rope instead of Goldberg that moving to kick a standstill opponent.
@zemox2534

@sonicslv6132 Bret could have recovered if he just took time off, but he chose to continue to wrestle after The Bill bout, and that decision only exacerbated the concussion and made it worse.
You've got it all wrong with the Bret Hart and Goldberg one. Goldberg was always compared to Steve Austin as his mirror image
Jim Cornett is the type of guy to celebrate Vince Russo's death *if Jim outlives Russo, that is*
Rey Mysterio's counter part was literally Sin Cara and Kalisto
Wow.., never thought about it, but glacer did freeze the show
Cornette v. Russo: biggest shoot ever!!! #TeamCornetteForever

The hype for Glacier was crazy... and then it waa a dud
Modercai was underrated they was letting him lose to Rey Mysterio though lol he had a lot of potential
Gimmicks are crazy
5:01 Jim Russo looks so different now
Rey Mysterio is actually between 5'3"-5'4". I've met him, and I'm only 5'8" and he was a good 3-4" shorter than me. Also, in my opinion, CM Punk's mirror opposite was Jeff Hardy.
Like why Ron Reese (YETI) wasnt brought in to battle Taker or THE BIG SHOW a see how it goes

Mordecai was also a total rip off of a character my dad had in no mercy. Look, all he's saying is he played at a no mercy tournament, and not too long after.... his cac was on tv
2:35 You could’ve just stated the obvious one from kane’s opposite gimmick. Its clear as day they took the gimmick from mortal kombat’s Sub-zero. They even copied the costume and face scar. 😂
Is it a re-upload? Mentioning Orton’s absence due to injury but not mentioning Riddle’s firing…
Never heard of Gacier 😅
Is anyone going to acknowledge that this information is like 3 weeks late, punk was released from aew and Matt riddle was released from wwe. Like we are not going to see RKBro again.
Why didn't you mention Charles Wright in RTC either?
Nobody would believe the high amount of money I would pay to force Cornette and Russo to book a wrestling show together and see what happens
Should’ve did rkbro vs Rock and sock connection
Kane would have demolished glacier
How about Double J and the Roaddog. One was a world class performer and the other was a low down dirty fraud. Every heart in Nashville broke the day we all found out Jeff Jarrett wasn’t the voice serenading us.
