 What's good Josh boros back again with another video? So we're gonna check out WWE wrestlers became famous by stealing from smaller wrestlers. This is by tap out corner. Now, we've had this conversation before how Pretty much wrestlers have taken or gotten inspiration from other wrestlers Whether they were popular or whether they weren't as known it's happened and it's going to continue to happening Happen because you know wrestling is a revolving door. It's rare that you see something New and unique and when you do see something new and unique guess what? Someone's going to emulate it or potentially copy it. It's just part of not even just wrestling It's just part of life. How many times have we seen a movie or? Maybe a song be remade or redone or inspire other forms of media other songs other Movies, that's just how the human nature work when it comes to to art or you know creations people will be inspired by something and they may end up using it to further their own Product or in wrestling terms for further their own gimmick so we're gonna check out some of these moments appreciate all love and support you guys shown on the channel and Let's get right into this one should be a good one Imagine coming up with an idea only for someone to steal it and become famous and make millions from it That's exactly what happened to these wrestlers in 2011 our truth began feeding with John Cena and calling all the undebted B Fans little Jimmy's this is all in a truth having an imaginary friend named little Jimmy who has continued to be part true Character to this day. However, little Jimmy was plagiarized prior to little Jimmy fellow wrestler JTG had pitched the idea of having an imaginary Puppet character that only GTG and the WB fans Creative actually respond positively to the idea However, they and JTG were not exactly on the same page WB wanted to use a hand puppet while GTG wanted the imaginary friend to be a bit more elaborate like a puppet You would see in a Jim Henson production Eventually JTG stopped hearing from WB creative and appeared the idea had died However, not long after JTG pitched this idea our truth start having an imaginary Wow, it seems like WB creative took JTG's idea Tweets it a bit and gave it to our truth I guess WB that's quite I never knew that one definitely did not know that Damn, even though that little Jimmy stuff is fucking hilarious It would have been interesting to see if he could have pulled that off or something similar to that But I never knew that that's wild Be creative was on a role of plagiarism in 2011 because it happened to mark Henry too by 2011 The world's strongest man's career had become Harry Steader Henry wasn't used in May Big Storylines and took a backseat to a lot of other wrestlers That would change though when he introduced the Hall of Pain storyline Henry started not only beating made event wrestlers, but also injuring them and putting them into action Which is why it was called the Hall of Pain the story which was easily I mean, I don't even think anyone will repeat that it's his best best character persona best Title reign he had like this was the best version of Mark Henry and even then they they kind of really didn't utilize it as much as they should have They you know tested the waters a little bit It was something that made fans actually care about Mark Henry as a menacing dominant Force, but they didn't really expound upon it But easily the best version of Mark Henry in WWE at least storyline also led to Mark Henry winning the World Heavyweight Championship Which was a huge accomplishment. However, the Hall of Pain idea was actually stolen from another wrestler in the early 2010s Brotus Clay was absent from WWE to film a movie when Clay asked what creative plans WWE had for him when he returned He was told they had nothing and they suggested Brotus come up with something Brotus Clay suggested that he become a beast who beats up everyone and into his Hall of Pain Brotus was told it was a great idea However, WWE decided to steal the idea and give it to Mark Henry despite having his idea taken from him Brotus Clay was not bitter about it Now it's one thing to say that's wild because he Y'all remember I think he was like uh He I think he debuted as like a a dancing dinosaur or some shit. I could be wrong I think that's what it was and yet the funk the doctors and it was it was cringe It was weird and then they tried to portray him a little bit more seriously The damage had been done. Maybe that would have worked for him, but I think it it It's just crazy how I don't know if it would have got him over or made a much of an impact If that same gimmick was if that same gimmick wasn't on Mark Henry and they put it on him instead of Mark Henry I don't know if he would have got as much over. That's a very interesting question and To really think about to be honest with you steal an idea from an adult Imagine stealing an idea from a kid and not giving him anything in return Matt Hardy as well as his brother Jeff started wrestling when they were kids and scratching called their way of the ranks of professional wrestling Eventually Matt Hardy got the opportunity to send a tape to wcw to try and get a job with the company Matt Hardy had been wrestling under the name high voltage and used that in his tryout video You see it is time for a new donnie in the world of professional wrestling and that ascending force goes by The title of high voltage wcw ended up not hiring Matt Hardy However, they would steal his name in the mid 90s wcw debuted a new tape team consisting of the wrestlers robbie rage and kenny chaos Wcw needed a name for this team. So remembering Matt Hardy's tryout tape Wow It was confirmed by wrestlers in the company that yes the name high voltage was taken from matt hardy Since wcw correctly assumed matt had a trademark debt red heart was not just a genius. Yep. He didn't trademark it He was just trying to you know get his name out there and they took it The power of a trademark bro. I mean, of course, he's not thinking about trademarking and anything He's just trying to get his you know get his foot in the door We'll take this kid's eye. His name sounds nice. We'll take that. We'll use that That's wild It's in the ring, but outside of it too back in the early 90s Bret Hart pitched a match idea to vincekman They had come up with before he signed with wb It was called a ladder match where the goal of the fight was it to pin or submit your opponent Instead wrestlers had to climb a ladder and gain custody of the prize painting above the ring Now to vincekman's credit He saw the potential of brett hart's idea and turned it into a reality The first div to be ladder match was held in july 1992 and featured brett hart defending the intercontinental championship against shon michael's brett one But the match wasn't shown on tv or kink review. So most fans didn't know it existed Instead the first ladder match broadcast on tv was razor moe versus shon michael's a wrestle mania 10 So to most people razor and shon were the innovators of the ladder match This upset brett hart since he wanted to be part of wrestle mania ladder match This started to build animosity between hart and mic man, which would come to a breaking point about three years later Any fan of the that would make sense. I never knew that he was the one that came up with that idea. Didn't know that I knew that wasn't the first match between uh razor remonen and uh hbk That wasn't the first ladder match. That was the first one like televised, but the other one wasn't televised That's wild, bro. I could I can understand where the frustrations start to build The attitude will remember jerry the king lullar's iconic line and every time a beautiful diva would come up walking out I say hey jr. Look puppies. Oh look at leader. She's got the puppies in the net However, it was not the king who came up with the term puppies living up to his name The road dog was actually the one that came up with the juvenile dog nick name Surprisingly road dog was not upset by lullar's thievery and actually took it as an honor that king used his line and made it famous So I think it was actually the road dog who came up with the term puppies. We want to see her puppies Now I must admit I would have been pretty mad at what happened to dean ambrose had happened to me It was 14 seth rollins betrayed his shield teammates dean ambrose and roman reigns Dean ended up feuding his rollins for several months with them ending their rivalry in a hell in a cell match To end the feud on a high note dean pitched the idea that they'd rip off the canvas of the ring Exposing the boards underneath it. This would make the match extremely brutal But it was met with hostility vitzig man didn't think fans would understand it and triple h Actually rolled his eyes at ambrose's idea dean and seth ended up not exposing the ring boards during their match But a different match would one year later rock lezner and the undertaker were facing off inside hell in a cell During the match lezner ripped off the canvas and exposed the ring boards The reaction this got from the crowd just proves the thought that fans wouldn't understand it The hell is he doing? I remember this On top of that less than four years after dean pitched the idea Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa would do the same spot during their match at an xc takeover chicago two Which was overseen by triple h even hardcore wdb fans might not remember and that's that's crazy because I think if dean would have did that in that match it would have definitely added the The the dangerousness to the hell in the cell because at that time then the hell in the cells had just been honestly tamed So it would have definitely been something they could have did did because guess what they did it afterwards They did it afterwards So it's it's kind of kind of messed up that they didn't want to take his idea because they didn't think people would care Or it would add anything to the match it does because if you're doing that you're trying to legitimately end someone And if you're in the hell in a cell you can't really use blood as much even though I think it should be allowed in that particular match The best way you can do is really show I'm trying to put this person in the hospital for a very long time So that's wild that he came up with the idea, but they didn't want to do it But then they end up doing it anyway. That's It's messed up. Remember just Joe. He never wrestled on raw just Joe It was relegated to shows like jacked and sunday night heat However, Joe did pitch ideas to deputy creative to try and get a spot on the bigger shows One of his ideas may sound familiar And then I pitched um, I said I'd like to do a thing where I cut my hair real short We're a suit and tie because it's right at the tail end of the of the grunge era saying that you know The american kids are just a bunch of bums now They need to cut their hair and get a real job and straighten up and fly right and call our group the moral majority And he says, hi, I don't I don't really see a lot of a lot of motion in that I'm like your whole audience are kids with you know, crazy hair and piercings. It's ideal But he wouldn't go for it. This is almost the exact same idea as the right to censor Which is a group of wrestlers who cut their hair were a suit and tie and complained that wb And its fans were too vulgar as for just Joe He was fired a few weeks before right to censor competed at wrestlemania 17 when hulk hogan was in That's messed up, bro That's messed up that literally went as he started explaining like that sounds like right to censor and it worked because You're telling fans that's Used to the attitude era and the wildness and the craziness and the uncensored unfilterness. You're telling them to behave and And don't curse and and don't swear and and women got to cover up and stuff like that Like as a kid seeing them anytime you hurt the siren you just oh no not these losers Like but it worked And the fact that he came up with it essentially and then they fired him before they really started to move with that idea That's Sounds like wwe for sure ducted into the wb hall of fame. He said that uh-oh and one day I went to ford homer hesterly armory and this guy named superstar billy grand I'm telling you this guy climbed the second ropes. He hit a double bicep and I looked at my father and said dad I want to be just like that guy right there. It turned out hulk hogan was very literal about that Yeah, hulk hogan became a wrestler starting the 1980s Superstar billy grand was tearing it up in the 70s Billy grand looked like a million bucks with beach blonde hair and an unbelievable physique grand's arms were so big He started calling them pythons and he began ripping off his shirt That doesn't sound familiar at all. Does it mean this is an insult to hulk homing, but he said there was a cheap superstar billy grand knockoff I think he did that now to be fair to hogan other wrestlers like jessie ventura copied billy grand too However, hulk hogan was the one who got the most mileage out of using someone else's gimmick What's surprising is that billy grand wasn't met at hulk hogan or anyone who stole his character In fact, he actually took it as a compliment that someone wanted to be like him Now this next one and that's awesome, man That uh, that's that's truly awesome that he didn't like take offense to that And once again, you know, he could have but he didn't and The wrestling is all about like when you're in your prime you do what you do and you you end up inspiring people And if someone ends up becoming a wrestler and then they take what you've done and they Make it 10 times even bigger It's no point in getting mad at them because they're keeping the business that you love that you made money in They're keeping it going and inspiring new individuals. So as long as people give credit like hey, you got that from him That's all that matters. You know I'm saying so it's it's It's one of those type of things where you know, I'm glad that he he didn't really Uh, get too upset about it. So that was that was pretty cool though. That was tough Feeling but chose the kind of person Bray Wyatt was so we need to highlight it in 2012 fans are introduced to the eater of worlds Bray Wyatt rather than your usual energized wrestling character Bray was a lot quieter speaking softly while wearing a floral shirt and sitting in a rocking chair However, there was something unsettling about Bray Wyatt that made him one of the most intriguing and creepy wrestlers on the roster What they're gonna do what you're gonna do to something like me However, almost two decades earlier. There was another WB wrestler with an I don't like wrestlers touching me Damn Damn crawling on me This character's name was Waylon mercy a saw-spoken yet kind of scary character Come here to a lot of wrestlers at the time Waylon mercy really stood out Unfortunately, mercy's career was cut short due to injuries The good news was that Waylon mercy's persona was able to be reborn over 15 years later while at the WB performance That's tough Approached by a young wrestler named windham rotunda. Here's how the story goes When them came to me and asked me if I mind him, you know doing something like the way on mercy character I told him no I think that you know, we kicked around some ideas and uh, I talked to him for a while But I think he's doing a great job with him from here the Bray Wyatt character was born Wow A successor to Waylon mercy's character. I never knew that that's tough heartwarming part. That's tough, bro That's super cool. And he was like I said He was cool about it. He didn't trip. All right, cool You know, we could spit spit balls some ideas and try to make it You know make it into something and that that was a dope character for Bray Wyatt to get out of that husky hair Harris You know persona he had Before he went to that like to get out for people to Move past the husky hairs and that transition that was perfect, man In fact that he was cool about it. That's awesome, bro Even though Bray Wyatt had more success in WWE than Waylon mercy Bray never forgot who helped him get there until 2019 Bray Wyatt introduced the firefight fund house which featured a number of creepy children's characters One of them was named mercy the buzzard and of course was based on Waylon mercy Didn't know that but Waylon himself voiced the character. Yeah, let's hurry it up I got stuff to do what to see what I even know that Watch that's cool. That's fucking cool. Rest in peace Bray. That's awesome. This is why It's okay When wrestlers are inspired by other wrestlers and they they come up, you know use similar gimmicks, but like more of a a Paying uh homage But paying homage to uh A wrestler and and what they did but not necessarily taking the whole gimmick with switching in and making their their own Like I think that's cool. I'm all for that. That's what keeps the wrestling business going You know if you can come up with something new and creative, that's awesome If you can get something from somewhere else And put your little spin on it put your little twist on it and it works There's nothing wrong with that too.
