 What's good jobs with Ross Beckett again with another video, so we're gonna check out 10 WWE stars whose egos ran wild now This it's gonna be a very interesting when we've heard the stories about wrestlers and their egos sometimes getting in the way of Storylines or progressions of younger talent or older talent It's happened it's it's it's damn. They're part of the business egos do get involved The question is being able to manage all these different egos and keep people in check The one person that I know for a fact needs to be on this list It's fucking Hulk Hogan if he's not on the list if he's damn. They're not number one on this list I don't know how valid this list is bro. Hulk Hogan has to be on this list If there's anybody that had an ego in wrestling just not only in WWE in WCW as well. It's fucking Hulk Hogan He needs to be on this list for this list to be valid. I stand on that So we're gonna see if he's on this list. Appreciate all love and support. Let's get right into this one man To be successful in WWE you're in the wrestling business in general for that matter a performer must have an ego Well to some extent anyway ego doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing But sometimes they can get out of control when a talent buys into their own hype thinks they're above someone or above doing Something Acting in the interest of self-preservation to maintain their top tier status. Yep I'm Adam Pacizi from Cultaholic Wrestling and these are 10 WWE stars whose egos ran wild Oh, no, Hulk Hogan in here. It's just too easy Ah This list ain't legit you still I know is that's the easy one to go with but you had to put he deserves to be in here You can't say They want to put me in here. I'm sure I mean, yeah, it's easy, but come on, bro Just because it's easy don't mean is wrong either Number ten triple H It's been over two decades the peak of triple H's infamous reign of terror where the cerebral assassin seemed to be Either the WWE or world heavyweight title belts and sledgehammered his way past everyone who got in his way You can put them in here Hunter is the son-in-law of Vince McMahon used his clout to ensure that he was always in the prime position Regardless of whether there was a hot new act catching fire or fans were, you know Just sick to bloody death of seeing the game in the main event Look at how strong he was booked and presented on WWE television despite many believing it wasn't in the best interests of the company including Pat Patterson who temporarily quit WWE in late 2004 largely in protest at the seemingly never-ending push of mr Helmsley it's hard not to see merit in those claims add in how he put an early kibosh on the love triangle with himself Stephanie and Kurt Angle because he didn't believe his badass character would get cheated on WWE making sure he didn't display weakness in video game still images and countless other stories of Politicking paints quite the picture doesn't it number nine? Oh, no, we've heard the rumors. He definitely he definitely did some Some politicking and ego definitely ran wild I mean, we all know the infamous story with him and Booker T and Booker T was supposed to The plans was to have him win at that WrestleMania and the day of it the day of the WrestleMania Triple H wins to Vince to change it up. That's the rumor. So Order reports. So take it with a grain of salt, but Triple H Definitely had that type of pool backstage to say it's not his time. Okay fine We can go ahead with it. Even though it may have been that person's time. So buff Bagwell The blink and you'll miss it WWE Career seems generous of buff Bagwell was a textbook case in how to lose friends alienate people and annoy the powers that be so badly that your chances of ever being rehired Explode like a dodgy car fin plant which we must never forget actually happened to Bagwell in 1995 one of WCW's biggest stars during the promotion Dying days buff came over to WWE for the ill-fated invasion very much believing that he was still the stuff That's in his mind meant that he shouldn't have to report to company mandated training sessions for the WCW crew to help them get Used to WWE rings and shake off any ring rust Bagwell started a fight with Shane Helms at one of the practices then continued to endear himself to his new Employers by turning up late for house shows Refusing to take any sort of blame for that disastrous raw main event with Booker T And the kicker of the whole thing having his mother and former WCW tag team champion Judy Calling sick on his behalf future endeavored after a whopping eight days Parole Bagwell to this day contends that the man in the mirror was not to blame for his own demise number eight son when you have your mom calling in to say hey He can't make brothers. What are you doing, bro? What are you doing? There were women wrestlers managers and valets before her but Tammy Sonny Sitch was WWE's first female in the diva mold Not bad for someone who was studying to be a plastic surgeon when she decided to follow her boyfriend Chris Candido into the business Sonny managed Candido in WWE as well as other acts like the smoking guns Farouk and the Legion of Doom But she was a star in her own right and often stole the attention away from the wrestlers She was seconding AOL's most downloaded celebrity of 1996 was popular All rights and didn't AOL's most downloaded celebrity who remembers a old let AOL Damn, they went back What year was that damn? AOL's most downloaded celebrity of 1996 was popular all rights and didn't she know it According to just about everyone who was around her at the time Sitch's opinion of herself got loftier and loftier with each passing week And she became something of a nightmare to deal with backstage This would have never happened if they didn't give her that best bun slammy I swear Her spiraling ego problem wasn't helped by substance abuse issues and a fierce jealousy of Sable The new shiny toy would herself develop quite the ego as time went on More of a prima donna than a body donna Sonny's WWE exit was widely celebrated by colleagues Who at one point decided to poop in her food as a means of humbling her Yeah, CM Punk. I don't know about the pooping in the food, but you know We don't know how how unbearable she was backstage. That's the hell of discussing Of course, CM Punk gotta be on this list. What are we talking about? There is a school of thought that if a professional wrestler is to truly break into that elite upper tier They need to fully believe that they are the character they portray CM Punk confidently bellowed about being the best in the world It's very likely that he properly meant it Rob Van Damme Certainly got that impression from the straight-edge superstar anyway And also recalled how Punk would call locker room meetings during their time Together on the rebooted ECW Despite the fact that Phil Brooks had only been on the main roster for a cup of Pepsi at that point Punk has long been a man of principles and conviction and has rarely if ever been willing to compromise his values for the business Some see this as a virtue while others see it as the so-called second city saint Unjustly believing his own hype and taking himself too seriously Yeah, some people definitely his fair share of wrestlers in WW some people definitely feel that way Some people feel like he definitely buys into his own like question is do y'all feel that way? That's that's the real question. Let me know down below He we his list of enemies seems an awfully lot longer than his list of friends And most of that is down to an abrasive personality and an allegedly inflated opinion of himself And if you don't like that come fight me Phil. I'm also windless in the UFC Heart Taking cues from one of his idols Bret Hart didn't just boast about being the best in the world though Oh, no, according to the hitman He was the best there is best there was and the best there ever will be and you know something many would agree with him Mm-hmm perfectionist who was intensely protective of his character Brett rubbed some people the wrong way with how he in their opinion seemed to put his own interests above the interests of others Heart took great pride in portraying a hero, especially in his native Canada Which we shall we say a sticky situation at the 1997 survivor series credits critics point to his refusal to drop the title to Shawn Michaels and Montreal as the perfect example Of his selfishness and putting himself in front of the business There's more than one side to that story. Yeah But it's hard to deny that the excellence of execution is the president of his own fan club and knew just how special a talent He was and of course, we've talked about this This is one of the most infamous situations to ever happen in a wrestling business. He had agreed with Vince They had agreed that You know, he was gonna drop the title to Gonna drop the title the next night on raw. He didn't want to drop it then But for whatever reason Vince felt like he he was afraid he was gonna really jump ship on him and you know I don't know it It's one of those type of things where it's like Vince could have definitely trusted him because he didn't seem like a person to really just You know jump ship with actually taking a championship like they've had previously, you know issues with so Vince was trying to make sure He that didn't happen with the WWE Championship, but it's like I don't think that was necessary I don't think to this day I don't think Brad Hart would have just ran off to WCW without doing the job for Vince because they've done so much Great business with each other. So I don't know but that's how he felt. That's how Vince felt and he called an audible without Bread even knowing in the rest is history. So number five China Don't treat me like a woman. Don't treat me like a man Just treat me like I'm stone cold flipping Steve Austin complete with comparative main event positioning and pay Those were the demands of China Acrimonious WWE exit in 2001 The life wonder of the world had gone from degeneration X's silent bodyguard to a massive Individual star winning the intercontinental title and gracing the cover of Playboy magazine during a whirlwind year There's no doubting that Jony Law's alter ego was a draw with a large fan base But she was not quite at the level of the biggest star in the industry Even if she herself believed that to be the case According to then talent relations head Jim Ross China demanded a seven-figure downside guarantee to re-sign While also expressing her disinterest in wrestling the other women on the roster The preference for being in storylines with headline male talent the uncomfortable working environment stemming from Triple H Leaving her for Stephanie McMahon obviously didn't help matters Believe that China was asking much more than she was worth and ended negotiations Yeah respect to China, but Nah, that way gonna happen It wouldn't it just nah Yeah, you can have the one offs. Maybe the money they probably could have worked on that too, but Got a call of spades page on it was cool. She was great for the bitch, but she wasn't the one You know Like she wasn't the biggest draw. She wasn't like let's be honest women's wrestling Wasn't even really that much of a draw that much back then either It's more of a draw now people don't care to see it more now But back then no didn't matter if China was fighting men. She wasn't people weren't saying hey I'm going to the show to see China not that many not that I know of so correct me if I'm wrong If you were one of those people that felt like you know, you wanted to go to a restaurant show back Then to see China. That's cool. But she wasn't the headliner. You know, so for Sable I alluded to her earlier when talking about sunny, but so did let's take a look at the woman who basically took her place Shall we? Yeah Merrow was famously hired after dropping the jaws of everyone with sway when she accompanied her husband Mark to his contract Negotiation meeting first acting as the valet of the Wildman Sable soon caught fire went solo and became one of the hottest acts in the Promotion during the burgeoning attitude era a merchandise machine and rating sensation Sable was made women's champions scored the cover of Playboy magazine and was one of the focal points of Wwe TV for a time and it all went to her head in spectacular fashion leading to instances where Sable refused to drop the women's title refused to take bumps in the few matches She would wrestle and end up dictating the way she did drop the title on her way out the company Sewing WWE for a hundred and ten million dollars as she walked through the door Rena Merrow thought she had become the next Pamela Anderson in Hollywood But soon realized that most of her mystique was created and preserved by the WWE machine. Yeah number three Shane McMahon Yeah, he got to be on this list You might easily miss your birthright to be able to do what you want when you want to do it's back stage Shane McMahon put that theory to the test When he showed up and used his influence to make himself look stronger than full-time talents by changing booking plans He's unprofessional and self-serving conduct infuriated the others involved with performing in and putting together the rumble match Including eventual match winner Brock Lesnar He's top of my list of people I would try to avoid annoying for what it's worth Shane ozantics got him exiled from WWE for over a year But it wasn't the first time he's shown that though his ego isn't quite as big as his father's It's still suitably McMahon sized Just look at the way the man who was once crowned the best wrestler in the world has been scripted to look competitive with Kurt Angle Gold medallist Kane terrifying horror movie villain Randy Orton Psychopath and a host of others not to mention his punch on for performing spotlight hogging stunts on major shows Like I appreciate the spots and the stuff that he you know, he's put his body through even though he's not a traditional wrestler but what he started doing with Entering himself in that best in the world tournament and crowned himself that Him as the Smackdown GM. It was cool at first, but then it just it became the Shane McMahon show I was just like, yeah this ain't it This is not it and he's been like that in certain situations and storylines where it's like I don't think I don't think he should be the main focal point here But you know, I still respect what he's done for the business for sure Shawn Michaels I mean, how can a guy who thinks he's cute? He has to be on this. He has to be on this for sure Shawn Michaels is undisputedly one of the absolute greatest in-ring performers of all time A hall of famer who even on his worst day could drag the most limited sports entertainer to their best match ever But he was also a self-admitted prick of the highest order Insisting he win titles He was never scheduled to telling the man who had just dropped the world title to him to get the flip out of the ring After a one-hour iron man match Deliberately overselling as a protest to losing a pay-per-view main events Seriously, do we even have a time limit on this video? We can happily sit here all day and fire off every instance of the heartbreak kid making it all about the heartbreak kid He may have mellowed a bit after his first retirement and finding jesus and all that good stuff But in his first run, michael's was every bit the tyrants. You've heard about he was an asshole, bro Number one the ultimate warrior. I know he didn't put the real number one is holocaust I don't get what nobody's saying, but it's it's cool bodybuilder who saw the professional wrestling He definitely had a huge go to nothing else the ultimate warrior was only ever in the business for himself Possessing an incredible look and a keen understanding of crafting and marketing his persona jim helwig's creation caught on during wwe's cartoon era and he became at one point the biggest star in the promotion not named hulk helwig Meanwhile believed he was at the level of the hulkster and was so sure of it that he demanded among other things That he got paid hogan money for all shows in a letter that he sent to vince mcman in 91 That was not long before vince mcman fired him the first of three times He would have let warrior go within a five-year period Outside of monetary demands helwig was also according to many who worked with him condescending short tempered and flat out Rude not just to the people who worked in the company, but ordinary civilians too Warrior was an attraction and made wwe a lot of money no doubt But he was never bigger than the company or the business that made him a star Even if he felt that he was better than the guys working lower than him on the card The list of people who speak glowingly of jim helwig as a person is sadly shorter than the majority of his matches Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's the truth harsh reality. He definitely belonged Belonged on the list on this list. No kogan still don't give a fuck. He definitely should have been one I don't care if it is that is an easy pick. No, he should have been number one on this list What? What it's fucking hulk hogan. What are we talking about, man? But comment down below Let me know some other people you feel like should have been on this list where you know for a fact You've heard stories seen the reports, you know, you know for a fact their egos were just ridiculously enormous and They let people know Who they were and they believed into their own hype sometimes a little bit too much Let me know if they weren't on this list or whatnot, but I appreciate all the love and support Guys shown on general road to 150k. I'm seeing this video to the rest of the world. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me See y'all next one. Peace
