The alarm that wakes me up every day is the sound of Adam Pacitti singing “What happened to that wrestler” and I have never been more energetic waking up in the morning 🙌🏼

@@vivekshrestha6014 Jeff Hardy was treated pretty well too. If he was in a better place in 2003 and kept around in WWE he probably would of been champion by 2005/2006 like Edge. Also don't forget he was pushed very well by WWE in 2008/2009. But because of his drug problems he left for TNA. That's not on WWE

Captivating career of R-Truth, please.
I watched a Gangrel match at my local promotion in Virginia some months ago. My friend and I were very amused that Gangrel kept trying to get the crowd to do the We Will Rock You stomp stomp clap thing for the entirety of the match.
Rick Steiner just wrestled a month or two ago in Cape Girardeau, Mo for CCW
That intro song just stays in my head.
I was at TNA’s first PPV The crowd was very sparse but I loved seeing Samoa Joe
This video makes me sad, most of the names here mentioned went from World Champions in TNA to expendable cannon fodder in the WWE (the fact that Ron Killings never got a world championship run in WWE despite being over as hell still bothers me)

That must explain where R-Truth got his eternal youth from
Mitchell was so amazing manager and character
Shamrock should have stayed with wrestling. He was a joke when we went back to MMA. Ortiz shamed him 3 times and he was never "dangerous" in his second run. Funny thing that with being the "worlds most dangerous". Both male and female were utterly disgraced in the Octagon. Shamrock by Ortiz and everyone else he went up against and Rousey against Holm and Nunes.
Cool video idea. Plot is as strong as a brazzers video
Forgot to mention that Ken Shamrock is a regular on the Australian indy scene.
Does my heart good to see one of these videos and the list of dead people can only be counted on one hand
All i got out of the video is that R-truth doesnt age.
Gangrel's also wrestled for All Star Wrestling in Surrey, BC Canada quite a bit over the last three years. I saw Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Tommy Dreamer in the promotion a few times.
Technically, Rick Steiner "wrestled" alongside his brother Scott this year in a short match against Jerry Lawler and Rikishi during one of the "wrestling nights" organized by the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies during halftime of a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on March 30th

I've been getting into it the past few months and even though it's obvious they're smaller and have not much financial muscle (I've read that a lot of their talent have 2nd "normal" jobs just to survive) but they're putting on a good show with what they got. I really hope Impact! and these smaller promotions either band together somehow or just plain survive when AEW takes over and WWE maybe makes a comeback if Vince gets the fuck out of the way and let's Bischoff and Heyman do their thing. Tbh, Willie Mack and Moose are my favorite wrestlers at the moment.

Storm without the Van Dyke is odd. There was a NC organization with a TV deal, which Buff appeared on years ago. I was surprised, mainly because I thought WWE was the only company on TV. I barely remember who was in it, but I recall Lodi, who I think either tagged or rivaled with Storm. Abyss needs to make at least one appearance on WWE. Hoyce is the proper pronunciation. I learned that over the years watching MMA.

Leaving the Low Ki story by simply stated that he's been working in the indies was kind of a disrespectful thing to do. He's a top carder in MLW primarily nowdays. Although it may not be a major player, MLW is still a bit more than just one of the indies.

Bo Dupp or Mr. Happer As I knew him was my high school Civics Teacher in 07. He was also the Captain of the Wrestling Team and was a great guy really funny. He never had the best gimmicks though.
Sad Abyss never held the TNA chip despite being in its HOF. I guess there's still time, but it's fading fast
Everytime I hear that song I jus find myself replaying it 😂
Pacitti's face in the intro should really be a meme, but I'm not sure what for.
I need a full length Norman Smiley video one day.
Hollywood was a wrestler in the Memphis area in the late 90's and early 2000's
Very interesting video concept good job.
not sure if it was mentioned here yet but Trevor Murdoch about a year ago came out of retirement
Good to see Matt Murdoc now a babyface in NEA and quite popular to boot.
How can I get the song at the start
6 of those wrestlers in the theme song are dead. There that answers that question.
That intro was amazing.
It’s “The Vampire Experiencerior”
Believe it or not but my friends and I ordered their first PPV. We were high as shit, mad at WWE, and were just curious. Surprisingly enough.... the PPV was a lot of fun! TNA was so incredibly psychotic, so off the rails at first, that it made it a lot of fun! Amazing Red was my favorite guy at first, I had never seen anyone do the kind of things he did before, in WWE.
