Guys, when you got to Pedro Morales, you didn't show a picture of Pedro, That's Don Muraco.....

When did Pedro turn into The Magnificent Muraco?

You two absolutely make my day

Why did they have a pic of Don Muraco for when they were talking about Pedro Morales????

Big show was a two time champion. You can’t say he just won it because Austin was injured. He also beat Brock for the belt in 2002.

JBL is just Chuck Taylor with a cowboy hat

19:05 In Khali's defense, so did Diamond Dallas Page. 19:17 "Gave it prestige"

I love these In 3 words! I never learn soo much and laugh soo much in the same videos 😂

Rey Mysterio winning the world heavyweight championship at wrestlemania 22 is genuinely one of my fondness childhood memories. I stopped watching WWE for a long time after that, didn’t even watch until he dropped the belt but I think even 13 year old me knew the initial win was as good as it was going to get, to me the story ended there

Randy Savage: Hogan Hindered Push JBL: Original Jinder Run (I hated him so much for ending Eddie's reign!)

I love how you guys put a pic of Don Muraco when talking about Pedro Morales 😅😅😅

Man, you guys make some of the best content on YT. Keep up the good work, you legends are the GOATs of Wrestling YT!

I always love these types of videos!! I really enjoy JBL title reign as champion he really had so good storylines with his challenger.

What about going back further with the World Heavyweight Championship and doing it in the NWA/WCW days in 3 words or less?

Just a note: i grew up to jbl being champion. I hated how he always won. He played his heel gimmick perfectly. He came to my city where wwe hadny come for 19 years, jbl was the absolute man. Met mysterio, rvd cena, guererro, dvon and jbl. Jbl and guererro were my favorites to meet!

Huge missed opportunity to say "butts in seats" for Foley

Glad Luke mentioned the Hall of Pain run. That period of time Mark was an actual menace that I still remember till this day.

This is a nice review and future way to understand the actual state of championships in WWE. You have 2 big stars in each brand, they both can or will begin a new narrative championship-wise. So, brand split is not really a thing, but it is, and what makes different every championship/brand, the newest belt if for what, this new undisputed is then the most coveted? WWE can have an actual gold mine in narrative terms to build awesome stories for a while.

Vince's favourite wrestler was Dr Jerry Graham, who was Superstar Billy's kayfabe brother.

The JBL era was an odd one. The matches during the course of his run were mostly poor, but his character work was excellent. Genuinely carried himself with the presence of a main event heel, and he was extremely easy to hate (from a kayfabe POV).

Where does the "enjoys good catering" bit come from?

Looking back, i actually enjoyed JBL as the wwe champion. Was a decent heel and set it up perfectly for cena to take at wrestlemania. Was it as good as brock vs angle for the previous year or brovks fueds with badass taker, no. Jbl still did good though, in my opinion.

You guys have a photo of Don Muroco when talking about Pedro Morales

Big show: my first champion. Of all the times to watch wrestling for the first time it happened during the 5 minutes when Big Show was champion.

In regards to your 3 words on Billy graham, Dr Jerry Graham is actually Vince Jrs favourite wrestler but he did like Billy Graham and wanted to turn him face. Vince Sr on the other hand did not like Billy Graham as a face and only put the belt on him because Vince Jr suggested it as a way to transition to Backlund.

Anyone else notice Don Muraco as the picture for Pedro Morales?? 😂

Personally my favorite money in the bank cashin, is Batista in the bank on John Cena after elimination chamber. Nothing beat that, that's forever be #1

Man Sid should have gotten the ball and belt in 1992, beat Hogan, Flair or Macho Man for the belt instead of the 97 run. All those big names in 92 he could have steamrolled through to show him as a dominant champ.

I was expecting Sugar Shane, Shannon Moore, and Evan Karrigas when I heard 3 count.

@5:14 "First Bank Cash In" is four words, Oli.

10:36 Stone Cold was actually active in WWF/WWE from 1995-2003. Meant to be wrestling fans.

Would love to see this for WCW.

15:03 Punk and Hardy main-evented Summerslam over Cena and Orton so I do think they saw them as legit main-eventers. Although they have only given that spot to them because Taker was coming back and it was a TLC match.

Please do the ECW title next. Would love to hear your take on Big Shows reign

I know this is off topic, but I've been watching this channel for a long time now and somehow only just realised the logo I see people wearing on merch is the Wrestletalk logo and not the Etnies logo, do you guys know how similar they are?

The world heavyweight belt is my favorite belt because it genuinely looks like a WORLD CHAMPION. It just looks distinguished and respectable.

MITB cash-ins…how can you forget Punk’s cash-in on Edge, when he charged down after Edge was blasted in the ring during the opening promo despite not actually BEING on RAW yet Of course, Edge’s original is 100% the greatest Oh, and LOVE the Clerks/Kevin Smith reference

Still rates as one of my greatest heel wrestlers of all time. People are down on him sure, I remember the long run, but for the people who hate it most they are just annoyed at Triple H's reign of terror. It launched Cena (even if we soured on him), but the only thing I wanted from his faction to launch a break out star like Evolution did.
