Regal’s pronunciation was nearer the correct one than anyone else’s. He was Samoan. In Samoan, a ‘g’ has a sound very similar to an ‘m’ before it. There used to be a rugby player called Joe Vagana. His name was pronounced ‘fangana’. So ‘umanga’ was as close to accurate as an English speaker could get!

JBL's first promo was incredible especially the realistic heelish way he turned his back on Farooq, arguing that he wasn't responsible for his former tag partners bad choice (kayfabe Farooq staked his career on the Acolytes re-winning the tag belts). Managed to go from a perennial babyface for most of the last decade to a hated heel in under 10 minutes.

I was nearing the end of my viewing of wrestling when Umaga hit the mat. I stuck around for awhile longer. I don't know why I liked his gimmick so much, but he just had his own way of doing things. When he was let go, I did the same as I had to really turn attention to a new career myself. Learning of his passing so soon after was a sad day.

This video also shows how Vince McMahon was very inconsistent with his choices of who to push and coming up with good gimmicks

I also have an issue with the fact that they didn't name the tag team of Fandango and Tyler Breeze as Fabreeze LOL!

Rikishi made a good heel, he was always temperamental and Too Cool were getting stale by then. The problem was whoever ran over Stone Cold would get buried in the matches. It's also questionable how much time Rikishi had because his knees were wrecked and he was forced to lose weight. He didn't mind the paycheck boost of doing it for the Rock at least.

Not to mention Rotanda's pair of masterful gimmick changes, first form his self named gimmick to the Wayland Mercy inspired Swamp Cult leader Bray Wyatt and his Wyatt Family entourage. Then when that one was burned out by a barrage of bad booking, he reinvented himself again as The Fiend.

Its crazy that wrestlers literally get told if they are going to face or heel by back office and have their characters outlined by the creatives and then have to deal with the outcome. So basically someone else gives them a character and says "go make it work" but then can come in and say "do this instead now". Then they tell you if you win or lose. If it doesn't go over with fans win or lose, face or heel they are like "oh well nothing we can do with you" or if it was WCW "we wish you best of luck with future endeavors"

I miss the Attitude era so much, it's crazy thinking about how many things would go viral in today's "sensitive times"

Kane and Bray Wyatt had the two best character reinventions ever in my opinion. Going from a jobber or many failed gimmicks to being one of THE top stars in WWE and having the two best gimmicks I've ever seen. Yes, even more than Undertaker (Taker is my third favorite). I'd also say Stone Cold is another top tier character reinvention.

I've heard you mention ten-gallon hats a few times. It's not the same as any cowboy hat, it's very tall. Look up the TV character Hoss Cartwright.

Andy, clearly you're a mark for Fandango, and I love it ❤️

Kane, jbl and ugama were great

of all the wrestlers name on this video rikishi and Umaga should have been world champions

5:26 I've always wondered if that creature from the goonies ever found more work

Great Video, you always have excellent content!

Johnny Nitro didn't become John Morrison till after Vengeance Day: Night of Champions 2007, so he won his first two I C belts and the ECW title as Nitro then changed it after winning the ECW Title

As you said a new coat of "paint" had helped many wrestlers to go on to greater things... Awesome video 👌🏻👌🏻

Kane easily the most popular rebrand of all time in the wwe 🤞🏽 she should be number one !

Bro ended the video like I used to end my essays in middle school. “In conclusion” type ending

Dewey Robertson to The Missing Link. Also, Bill Eadie from Bolo Mongol to Masked Superstar.

Bray Wyatt anybody?

can i requst a "full career documentary" vid about the briscoes? i think their career deserve more attention then it already has.

There’s finding out Santa Claus doesn’t exist, and then there is finding out that Undertaker and Kane were never brothers 😮
