I think Inferno was really underutilized. I mean, the truck was around for 5 years, had one TV appearance, and then was pretty much banished to Europe after the first ever Paris show. Great video man your Top 10s are fantastic!!!!!!!

@@lightningracing19 it only got one official diecast release because the original one from 2003 was canceled and was turned into Flash Fire. The trucks name didn’t change except for the 2003 toy.

Radical Rescue was in the ROBLOX Game, Car Dealership Tycoon (and still is but isn't unlockable), it was the most hated truck because it was the only truck in Racing that had a hitbox, and u could sabotage other racers if u stayed in the corner where u go out at before the start of the race, wait for it to start, and then go to the end and hide to where they cant see u, then jump out and make them roll over or something, it and Swine N Dash r pretty random trucks, i dont see y they were even added in the 1st place, i also never even heard of Radical Rescue or Swine N Dash until i played this game, Tanman also made a video on it called "this truck is literally broken" with Radical Rescue in the thumbnail, spoiler: im the one using Radical Rescue to sabotage everyone >:)

They should bring Backwards Bob, it's an artistic monster truck with a simple twist, it combines the vanguards with modern art and simply putting the truck body backwards in a four-wheeled monster chassis, THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I LOVE BACKWARDS BOB

Feld: robotic dinosaur? Fine. Adding spikes to maximum destruction? Fine. A shark monster truck? Fine. Also Feld: a truck with its body facing backwards? Now we’re crossing the line.

You should do a list of time when monster jam trucks and drivers were featured on other tv programs. Like Dennis Anderson in “Around the world in 80 ways”, Chad Tingler and Becky McDonogh in “Penn and Teller: Tell a Lie”, a handful in “Americas toughest jobs”, and wherever else something from monster jam has appeared.

Honestly, Monster Jam could bring back many of these identities and have less of so many of the same trucks out. For example, they could bring back Monster Mutt Junkyard Dog on the new custom body style, even though we would all rather see the Mercury body. Dragon's Breath would be cool back against the current Dragon. Give a Megalodon or El Toro Loco driver in some of these to eliminate so many of them out. Fans would absolutely EAT UP backwards Bob live. Everybody loved and still loves Backwards Bob, it wouldn't be an expensive body considering it's just a pickup body style. I'm happy I got to see a fee of these in some Detroit shows when they were still competing

Backwards bob is a funny one, but also monster mutt junkyard dog I like the look and for sure new custom style would be cool, but either way I’m kinda fine with it I never was a fan of the mercury bodies of monster mutt, they all looked ugly to me

Backwards Bob not being ran was the biggest disappointment to me as a kid. Something about the color scheme and decals made me fall in love with it as a kid. I made my dad drive 4 hours to a show just to see it one year and loved it.

Feld Entertainment and Monster Jam could bring back a lot of the trucks when I first started watching Monster Jam I would like to see my top favourite monster Patrol make a comeback and all the other trucks that ran in the 2000 era shows like little tiger Inferno and Wild Thing American Ranger and Joe cyber with the driver of it I would love to see Hulk back the new Marvel trucks that were recently debuted and somebody said Monster Jam is just like WWE there's so many Talent flash body styles that get debuted underutilized and then never be used again

I'd hoped Spike would be in here. It was a decent truck, just perhaps not particularly memorable to most people. I think it only ever ran in an event 2 or 3 times. Edit: Just looked it up from the wiki and apparently I've been living under a rock. It was actually used fairly recently.

In some ways, I think Feld just doesn't know how to manage their shit. Other people in this comment section have already said it, and I'll say it too, FELD could bring all if not most of these back and use them so that you aren't getting all the same trucks and teams at shows. I love Grave Digger, don't get me wrong, but jesus christ you don't need a Grave Digger at every damn show lol. With some of these trucks, I think FELD just didn't know who to put in the truck full-time, or couldn't get someone in it full time, who really knows.

I have it on fantastic authority that the reason Wonder Woman went from heavily promoted to just a field filler was due to office drama. When not running MJ events, Nicole Johnson would run non-monster truck off road events, notably hill climb events, and hill climb off roading’s WF, King of the Hammers. This was completely legal in her MJ contract because while she could not work alternative monster truck events- obviously- non-monster truck motorsports events like rock climbing on weekends where she wasn’t booked, was A-OK. This didn’t sit well with the powers that be, who insisted that she choose the off road ventures or choose them. We all know what happened.

It’s OK to be wrong about something every once in awhile Jackson. I don’t usually agree with Kenneth Feld a lot on what constitutes “too much” or is a bad gimmick but I will agree with him that Backwards Bob is a dumb, ridiculous gimmick that doesn’t serve to move the sport forward or make a good presentation. I’m glad it’s gone and evidently it’s not well liked behind the scenes. I can see why.
