 What's good Josh Baross back again with another video. So we're going to check out revealing the secrets of WWE's most iconic moments. Oh, I do like these videos when you're able to see how they did some of these legendary iconic moments or segments where, you know, you don't know how they did it at the time, but you were just excited or shocked. And then you find out years later, oh, this was done into prepare for this to happen or whatnot. I love videos like this. For some people, they feel like, oh, it breaks the illusion of the wrestling world. Me personally, I don't think it does. I think it's even interesting to, you know, find a way to, you know, make certain situations look way more believable than they should be once you find out the truth on how they were done. So we're going to get right into this one. Man, I appreciate all the love and support you guys showing on channel. Let's get right into this bad boy, man. No WWE fan will ever forget this. Of course. Classic. Classic. Classic. This is all planned. Oh, I gotta get rid of this box. Don't know why I was doing that. There we go. Sorry about that, girl. How did WWE pull it off? Years after the stunt, Big Show came clean and revealed how it was done. WWE had airbags under the ring that were inflated once the next show got on the turnbuckle. You can even see a piece of the equipment used to inflate the bags on the floor earlier in the match. These airbags were only on one side of the ring, and they were inflated just enough to raise that part off the ground. You can notice the ring post shaking after Big Show and Brock Lesnar push off the top row. The impact of the suplex caused the ring post to flip, and then the production team had the airbags deflate, causing the ring to fall to the ground. That's why there's a slight delay from when the ring post flipped to the ring actually falling. Why? Oh, that's, that's interesting. I never knew how mechanically they did it. I just always thought the spot was fucking insanely cool. Now, once Brock and Show got on the turnbuckle, the airbags underneath the ring were actually holding it up, not the ring post. Okay. Edge was hosting his show, The Cutting Edge. The radar superstar was supposed to have Jeff Hardy as a guest, but things didn't go according to plan when Hardy was blasted by his own pyro. I remember this. It was a stage stud and part of the show. First, the sparks that hit Jeff Hardy weren't hot at all. A special kind of ring was used that doesn't hurt or burn when punch. Oh, wow. Technics, they were carefully placed so that Hardy was close enough that it looked like it hit him, but far enough away that it didn't do anything. Wow. Jeff Hardy also poured water on his head and body before coming out to keep his hair and clothes from burning. That's crazy. I didn't know how they did that either. I remember watching that. I was like, oh, whoa, this is, is he all right? They sold this too. One of the scariest WWE moments was when Jake Roberts started terrorizing Macho Man Randy Savage into life, Miss Elizabeth. With the snake. And during Savage and Elizabeth's wedding reception, where Roberts gifted the newlyweds a live cobra to keep everyone safe, WWE didn't use a real snake, at least when people were around. When you see the shot with the cobra and people in it, the snake is actually a rubber toy. WWE filmed some tight shots with a real cobra. Oh, okay. They ended them in later. That worked fine since there was no live audience. But what about when Roberts attacked Randy Savage with a live cobra in the ring? Yeah, definitely got to say that. One of the most venomous snakes in the entire world and a bite from it can kill someone in 30 minutes. Of course, Savage didn't die. So how did they do it? Well, that was a real king cobra and it did really bite the Macho Man. However, the Cobra's venom glands had been removed prior to the stunts. Oh, which is why Macho Man's arms started bleeding during the bite. Yeah, no, bro. Shout out to them actually. Just willingly doing that with a live animal. Having him actually get bit like, yeah, the venom glands was gone. But no, he legit got bit by a snake. That's wild, bro. That's it's a different time to wrestle in the whole league. Despite this, Macho Man's rush to the hospital five days later with a fever. In an ironic turn of events, the Cobra died 12 days after biting Savage. The snake may have been deventimized, but Macho Man was a backlash. Damn, he's still in of getting sick. Still a damn. No, bro. Oh, no, I'm good. I ended with a bang when the big show choked slam John Cena. Remember this one, too. What's the secret here? First, the glass that Cena hit wasn't actually glass. It was actually made out of sugar glass. It was created by heat water and sugar. It looks like, you know, speaking of glass, Jack Perry wanted to use real glass. No, man, you sugar glass, bro. You can tell the story that way. Using real glass could legitimately hurt you even more. And it's dangerous. You sugar glass. Real glass, but breaks much more easily and doesn't cut you. The sugar is also the reason the glass stuck to John Cena's body through it. As for the spotlight, the inside was fitted with padding and foam pushing the landing. You can see the differences in these two images. As for the explosion, pyrotechnic charges were set on the side and back of the spotlight. This allowed for a big blast while John Cena was shielded by the inside of the spotlight. In the lead up to his WrestleMania 21 match against Sumo wrestler Aki Bono, Big Show demonstrated his strength by flipping over a jeep. It was impressive, but there was a trick to pull off this stud. Smackdown did not air live. So when Big Show went to push the jeep, a production member came out with a car check to lift the vehicle. This raised the jeep to a level that Big Show could more easily push it over. You can see when the camera cuts away from Big Show, the vehicle is noticeably a few inches higher than in the last shot. Speaking of Big Show, this looks like it. I mean, it's still impressive to be able to still push it over. So I think they did the same thing with Braun Strowman with the I think it was the ambulance. Roman Reigns was in the ambulance and he had he had it on like they had it on like some stilts or whatever. Like so it's easier to tip over because they had something under it where once he lifted up, it can kind of fall over a little bit more easier. But it was similar to what they did there. But the visual still looked good. Her. Pink. How did they pull this off without Big Show suffering serious damage? Well, that's not a sledgehammer. The wood is real, but the head is made out of rubber. Pink. It didn't hurt at all. In his later years, Triple H start using a real sledgehammer. However, he always put his hand over the head to keep the person who's hitting. Yeah. So it is crazy to know in earlier years, it was just a rubber head, but the the the actual wood handle was real. And then they start using a real sledgehammer. It's just they put he would put his hand over the sledgehammer. To win an inferno match, you have to set your opponent on fire. This is an classic match because the fire is real. Yeah. And yet no one has been seriously injured. So how is it done? Kane spilled the beans in his 2019 autobiography during the first inferno match in 1988, the Undertaker fought Kane. The first trick is that both were recoded in flame retarded chemicals before going to the ring. But there was much more to it. As the match went on, Kane and Taker ended up on the outside of the squared circle where Kane was knocked down. The dead man then walked to the entrance stage and started fighting Kane's manager, Paul Gerr. While this is going on, Kane crawled under the ring where a few WWE production members were hiding. The bigger machine was wearing a special costume where the right sleeve could be taken off. After this was removed, Kane replaced it with a sleeve made out of flame retarded material. The crew members then applied cooling gel with an accelerant on his right arm. You can see the outline once the Undertaker returns to the ring. After that, the big red machine was pushed into the flames and his sleeve was on fire. Kane quickly walked backstage and once the camera was off of him, the fire was put out. WWE used the same trick and went later when Kane fought MVP in an inferno match. I remember watching this too. I was like, yo, this is fucking insanity, bruh. This was so insane. And I enjoyed every second of it. Even the match wasn't that really good. It's just the fact that this was actually happening and someone was getting set on fire and MVP ended up getting set on fire. Once the two were out of the ring, MVP crawled under the ring skirt. During that time, a production member quickly applied cooling gel to MVP's back. This is why Kane randomly stalled for a moment before the opponent back out. Then almost immediately after, MVP was pushed towards the fire and set ablaze. That shit was crazy. To demonstrate his strength, he crushed a cantaloupe and watermelon with just his bare hands. While Kali was strong, WWE used some tricks to help him out. The watermelon was cut on the back, which is like this when you point out the moment Kali applies pressure. That's also why the watermelon splits in the back since that's where it was weaker. And WWE used a similar trick years later when Braun Sturman crushed an apple with one hand. You can faintly see a cut on the apple, which made it easier for Strowman to smash. Jan Cena and Batista's 2010 rivalry saw them face off in an I quit match, one of the most extreme moments was when Batista placed Cena near the entrance stage and backed into him with a car. How did Cena stay safe? Well, there was a solid black box conveniently next to the car. Once the camera crew switched to an angle where you couldn't see behind the vehicle, Cena crawled out of the way. He didn't even move. Boy, John, you not about to hit me. Well too, head fans that have been able to see Cena poke out from behind the black box. One of the classic WWE moments is when a wrestler goes to the barricade. Now, what are the tricks? First, WWE barricades are padded from top to bottom to make them as safe as possible. Second, the barricades are all small individual sections that are linked together. Before the big spot, WWE's production crew loosens the links on the section of the barricade the wrestlers are gonna hit. This not only causes that part of the barricade to go down with ease, but also keeps the rest of the barricades standing upright. Yeah, I kind of figured it's one section that they loosen up and obviously they know where to hit it because if you hit the other one, you may concuss yourself or hurt yourself. So that one's loosened up to give away, so that way it gives the illusion like look how much force they use to break through it. There's more to it though. More often than not, wrestlers will break through the piece of the barricade that's in the timekeepers area. This is so fans don't get in the way or accidentally knock the barricade over. However, when WWE wants to have wrestlers break through a side of the barricade where fans are, they won't allow real paying fans to sit in that area. Instead, the company uses extras, typically local independent wrestlers, not signed with WWE. They know what's gonna happen and not only keep the real fans safe, but also give the exact reaction WWE wants. When Mark Henry slammed Sheamus through the barricade, you can actually see a young LA Knight in the crowd. Wow, I think we did see that clip. Oh, that's crazy. Look at him now. The classic WWE spot is breaking through the steel cage. He's just like the barricades. WWE keeps one part of the cage very loose, looking out for an easily breakable piece. The wrestlers also purposely avoid interacting with that part of the cage until it's time for the spot. The wrestling are so easy to break that the cage can start to fall before the wrestlers touch it, as sitting in this legendary spot between Bobby Lashley and Umaga. On the topic of breaking things, a wrestler going through the ring is always... And that's always, that was one of my favorite spots when Bobby Lashley jumped through the cage to attack Umaga. That was such a cool spot. I remember watching that. Awesome spot, but how is it done? Former WWE wrestler, Dean Ambrose, AKA John Moxley, revealed in his autobiography that at every televised WWE show, there's always someone under the ring. This person tightens cables, makes your weapons on your right spot, pushes in cars trampoline out for his entrance, and you are. But before a wrestler is gonna be slammed through the ring, this crew member will remove the wooden boards and support where the wrestler is gonna land. The foam padding is kept in place so the ring retains its shape. Like with the steel cage, wrestlers are careful to avoid the loose section of the ring until it's time for the spot. He's moving that finish, Jeff! The running power's so huge! And it does look, it is a cool visual all of a sudden. You see them fall through the ring, or whatnot. And I've always wanted to know, how are they able to do that? Well, it makes sense having somebody under the ring, loosening things up. I always thought that was a cool visual to see when it's done correctly. OMG Moments was seen 77-year-old Mayeon Yeah, this is wild. Ah. Uh-huh. Oh, okay. Yep. I think we've seen this one before. But yeah, nah, that's, that's, I never knew, I thought she just went through it. I thought she, Mayeon was like, you know what? I'm cool with it. Put me through a table, I don't care. But obviously it was a crash pad and Bubba did make sure that she was as safe as possible. And yeah man, that was pretty dope. That was pretty damn dope. I love videos like this inform you on how certain things happen, man. That was pretty interesting, man.
