 What's good Josh Bull Ross back again with another video. So we're gonna check out ten times WWE rewrote their own history. They tend to do this Frequently, you know at some point they'll just rewrite things and you'd be like wait a minute. What happened? I remember that that that didn't happen that way. Why is this happening? It's That's it's just WWE They'll implement something or say something and then years later they'll forget that they said something or something happened and then they'll just We'll just pretend it never happened or they'll rewrite it. You know, I'm saying like it is like this draft thing. I Don't know how long these draft Situations like certain stars saying on one show and other stars saying on one show I don't know how effective that's gonna be because we've tried this before and For a little bit if they stay true to it and then people just started going to different brands willy-nilly and we didn't know why So we'll see if that if that's the case this time around, but I appreciate all the love and support You guys have shown on the channel. We're gonna be checking out a video from coach a hollock wrestling We haven't checked subscribe to him go subscribe to him Give them a subscription check out some of that content Or a full-on rewrite world wrestling entertainment have not been shy about meddling with their own history There are various reasons for this from saving face and avoiding legal issues to exaggerating Accomplishments and progressing storylines, but it can be pretty maddening for long-time fans who witness something happen one way Just for it to be retold through WWE's own filter when looking for the WWE history book Perhaps you should check the fiction section first. I'm Adam Pacizzi from cult a hollock wrestling and these are 10 times WWE rewrote their own history They probably will number 10 guessing the f out on May 6th 2002 WWE officially changed its name from the world wrestling Federation to world wrestling Entertainment fans were well prepped for the switch of initials thanks to an effectively amusing ad campaign about the company getting the f out Now Vince McMahon would have you believe that the decision to switch from WWF to WWE was about emphasizing the entertainment aspect of his brand of sports entertainment Was moving further away from that disgust and pro wrestling nonsense in truth WWE fought the change Necessitated after WWE breached an agreement with UK based conservation group the world wildlife fund every single step of the way The panda people laid the smackdown on Vince's legal team in court resulting in WWE being unable to use the scratch logo that debuted in 1998 as well as the WWF letters in specified circumstances WWE attempted to spin the ruling in their favor with a frankly laughable press release But anyone who had actually followed the saga knew that WWE was simply in the wrong and paid for their mistakes number nine Cain's burns From the get-go it was stress crazy man. Some people say that's when WWE or WWE kind of died some people like once it turned into WWE That's when it died. I was like, I don't know about that people were still into it There was still some stuff that was worth watching and checking out around that time So I'm not gonna say that by WWE that Cain wore a mask to hide the burns He sustained to his face in a fire that the undertaker had set in an attempt to burn down the family funeral home And murder his younger sibling. Yeah brothers a this really added to the big red machines aura and also made fans want to see Just how disfigured the ugly freak was under the hood We got the occasional Inconclusive glimpse before Cain lost a world heavyweight title versus mask match against Triple H on the June 23rd 2003 episode of raw yeah, and then we got a load of smudged mascara and a skullet So what happened here then? Well, it's entirely possible that WWE didn't think ahead shocking I know and planned for the possibility of Cain taking his mask off when they penned his elaborate backstory And that was the thing. I'm pretty sure they didn't really think he was going to be taking his mask off at any point, but it's like If you're gonna go with that he got Burned like like he was disfigured He kind of got to stay with that But they didn't so Scrambling for an explanation of the absence of scarred flesh It was instead claimed that the burns the devil's favorite demon had suffered were merely Psychological Yeah, so was it also all in dx's head when they were visibly repulsed after our masking and backstage in 2000? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder Number eight hogan slamming andre In the main event of wrestlemania WWE Force met the immovable object when hulk hogan defended his wwe title against andre the giants The hulkster won the match becoming the first person in history to both slam and pin the seven footer Well, at least that's how wwe tells it The hulkster himself will tell it that he slammed andre as a shoot brother tearing every muscle in his back in the process But that's another lie for another time In reality andre had been slammed multiple times by many different people Harley race kamala stan hansen and even hogan himself among others had slammed him in the past And you know what hogan previously did it on a major wwe show no less That's crazy Taking a slam wasn't exactly a regular occurrence and most of these happened in other territories or overseas in japan But they did happen Saiyan goes for the big man losing even if he did have a healthy win percentage Hulk's feet at mania 3 is impressive enough in itself Of course wwe feel the need to inflate it along with the show's highly disputed attendance figure number seven who's your papi Rey Mysterio and they stay doing that. They stay doing the old. Oh, we got a hundred thousand people When really it's like fucking maybe like 97 thousand there Guerrero's fuge took a personal turn in the summer of 2005 when latino heat revealed his big secret Hey, we just checked out that match on patreon for the patreon. Actually, we checked it out last night So i'm not sure when it's gonna drop, but if you part of the patreon on the inter clutch Uh page man, we definitely did just check out Dominic i'm not dominic uh ray versus eddie the custody Battle ladder match at summer slam So, uh, I believe in summer slam 05 So definitely be on the lookout for that for all the patreon subscribers that are subscribed to the inter clutch patreon I think you guys are gonna enjoy that But and confess that he was the biological father of rey's son dominic as the story went Guerrero sighed a child while he and wife Vicky were on the outs After ready proved unwilling to raise the boy himself Mysterio and his wife angie adopted him the soap opera twist led to a ladder match for the custody of dominic at summer slam 2005 Oh wrestling which was won by ray He may have won custody, but according to the storyline dominic was eddie's biological child Fast forward 15 years dom decides to get into the business himself and is paired with his actual biological father wwe dropped the pretense that dominic was a Guerrero by blood While carefully referencing and poking fun at his previous cave aid lineage wwe obviously couldn't perpetuate the falsehood following eddie's passing and weren't going to meddle with a proper father-son team when dominic stepped into the ring But it's funny how such a major plot points has been disregarded Of course, but they had to it's funny. They they They legit went with that route. That's the funny thing old Berg's run in Speaking of eddie. How about that time he beats Brock Lesnar in the main event of no way out 2004 to win the wwe title What a moment it was when Latino heat countered the f5 with a ddt onto the title belt and hit the frog splash for a feel Good three counts all that after battling the beast for 30 minutes with no help whatsoever Well, that is apart from the timely assist provided by Goldberg after the referee was bumped But let's not bring that little wrinkle up. Shall we? Yes, even though wwe sneakily omitted that part when celebrating Guerrero's title triumph. It did happen Deman had shown up earlier in the night and attacked the next big thing prior to being removed from the arena by security He must have managed to break free and sneak back in because he came back later to spear Lesnar while brian Hedner was taking a nap To be fair it was only a false finish and didn't lead directly to the finish itself But it's pretty amusing how wwe scrubs it from the match's recap I will say this the poppy got when he won was incredible, bro number five the monday night war I mean, where do we even start with this one? They say history is written by the victors and you don't have to convince me twice after seeing how wwe likes to Tell the tale of the monday night war If you listen to wwe's version of their mid to late 90s feud with wcw You will hear of how ted turner bought all of the mcman made stars due to his limitless checkbook How wcw played dirty by doing heinous things like revealing the results of wwe's pre-tape shows live on air And how degeneration x turned the tide by invading wcw with a tank Honestly, the picture wwe paints is so distorted and one-sided is beyond ridiculous They do try to paint themselves as the the good guys in bishawp and wcw They were the devils. They were the bad guys the enemies I don't think it was all the way like that bad But their version of the so-called war is considered legit by many fans who only really know of it because of wwe produced media To them the valiant mum and pop promotion managed to overcome the evil corporation due to their creativity Determination superior storytelling and homegrown stars The reality is of course far far difference. Yeah number four jamaican me crazy When kofi kingston burst onto the scene in 2008 much was made of his jamaican heritage Pre debut vignette showed him on the beaches of his homeland He had reggae inflected entrance music wore jamaican flag colors on his gear and oh, yeah He was called kofi kingston and spoke with a heavy jamaican accent At some point shortly before bragging rights 2009 kofi simply dropped the accent and started being built from his real home country of Ghana, west Africa Naturally that cheeky dx chappy triple h couldn't just let it slide and call kingston out about his disappearing accent Wait, weren't you jamaican? Oh I was like, wait a minute. He wants to make it. What the fuck during a promo And that was that to be honest no explanation or reasoning for the change Just a wink and a nod and a friendly crotch chop and time to move on Yep And that was to the best really since the new day member only did the jamaican thing on the indies Because prince nano was doing a ghanian prince gimmick in ring of honor and he didn't want to be accused of trying to copy him I mean the accent may be gone, but I wish those bumber klats would bring back that bang in sos theme Hey, yeah, I was funny. I was just thinking that his theme was actually pretty sos That she used to jam man. I ain't gonna lie to you Oh man young kofi man three benoit Right, so we go from something relatively light and playful to this Look, you cannot talk about wwe history without talking about chris benoit The rabid wolverine was a major part of it between 2000 and 2007 Though wwe have went to great lengths to erase him from their history ever since the benoit family tragedy Faced with an unprecedented situation the company decided to refrain from mentioning benoit's name going forward His name still appears in the history books But chris benoit isn't searchable on the network and his name and likeness doesn't appear on wwe programming wherever possible Yeah, so when the radicals jumping from wcw to wwe gets brought up It's eddie guerrero dean melenco and perry satin who are shown When wrestlemania 20 is discussed the big matches where eddie's wwe title victory over curt angle and the undertakers return against kane Not the canadian crippler's world heavyweight title win in the main event Some may argue that benoit's career shouldn't be overlooked, but given the circumstances wwe really had no choice but to take the position they have in distancing themselves from him I mean people Lost their lives You know i'm saying like I know some people want to make that argument. Oh, we got to separate the man from the wrestler Like the man from his in ring wrestling performance. No i'm sorry This is one of those things you can't I know some people do it some people pick and choose they separate The artist from you know the music from the actual person we see it all the time, but this is a situation where People innocent people Their lives were taken it it would be a disservice to them If they just sit up there and let's talk about benoit's championship runs and his amazing matches Yeah, we know about him, but it doesn't need to be brought up honestly and It's not something that you want to you know kind of just you know remember You know i'm saying like in the sense of like oh, yeah This guy was a fantastic wrestler about the end of the day It doesn't matter what he did in the ring Because what he did outside of ring impacted You know some people's lives and you know he took some people he took his own family Some of his family members lives they didn't have a say so in that So it's just one of those things where it's like it's a very tough line It dude was fantastic in the ring but What he did afterwards, you know what he did was inexcusable and You kind of have to throw away all the good that he did not throw away But in a sense you kind of don't want to bring it up and of course they have sponsors They what they sponsored by wait a minute You're you're showing clips from a guy that killed his family members Some of his family members and then killed himself. What are we you're showing that you're you're you're giving him some praise like no What are you doing? So I get it I understand both sides of the coin here about the end of the day, man It's You got to ask yourself if someone murdered your family members Even though they were a fantastic athlete or whatever would you want people to steal? You know, you know you want people to glorify what they did out You know outside of that situation or would you want people to just kind of like, you know Not show any glorification to all of it. You know what I'm saying? So you got to ask yourself those questions who are reeking of dishonesty And now back to levity with the curious case of edging christian Were they supposed to be best friends? Were they supposed to be brothers? Do you even think you know them? Certainly reeks here and it ain't of awesomeness From christian's wwe debut it was said that he and his fellow brood member were legit siblings Something that was continually parroted over the course of the next many years There were even some humorous skits where captain charisma was ghosted by their grandma edna Which was one of the reasons christian ended up turning on the rate at our superstar in 2001 Fast forward to the 2010 draft and christian is giving an emotional speech talking about how close The two were and how he remembers their first meeting in sixth grade and Ageing christian were no longer battling brothers, but yes buds and that's the actual truth of the matter Of course as j rezzo and adam copeland are not related by blood But bonded by friendship and spandex and baby oil and all that good stuff number one revising the warrior In 2005 wwe released a hatchet job dvd called the self-destruction of the ultimate warrior In it the former wwe champion was roundly criticized and mocked by his former colleagues then current stars And even vince mcman himself Jim helwig was on the outs with the company at the time and wasn't exactly making any friends with his outrageous hate filled actions and statements like cheering on bobby heenan's cancer diagnosis Warrior would continue to be at odds with wwe until fences were finally mended in 2014 When helwig died just days after being inducted into the wwe hall of fame The company quickly went to work in lionizing the face painted superstar including green lighting a new much more flattering Documentary and establishing the warrior award in his honor In this new documentary released just nine days after his passing the ultimate warrior was portrayed as being a Transcendent icon of the industry would be perhaps misunderstood by his peers The self-destruction dvd as well as the resultant litigation was briefly covered in the piece But wwe swiftly buried the animosity and returned to a more positive tone I mean i'm all for letting bygones be bygones, but the total 180 performed Yeah Was as jarring as an ultimate warrior promo And that's just one of those things where it's like now before he died They were going much better terms So then when he died now it's all all he was this he was this he was this they were literally released a documentary Clowning him, you know i'm saying and some may say it's justifiable at the time You know for what his action was But then when he dies all he was this he was this he was so amazing You know and that's just how it goes a lot of times people will sit up there You know you may have beasts with someone if you're able to rectify those beasts People will overlook the bad things and really glorify just the positive things and Since we're talking about this, I know we just got off the binwan situation I want to expound on that just a little bit more and I may make a video about that Give my whole thoughts and opinions on that. So if y'all want me to let me know down below But just to that point How they made amends, you know i'm saying WWE and ultimate warrior they made amends. So now everything is you know, all right, you know, wasn't that bad of a guy Crispin wall, he wasn't able to make amends many. This is a way different story on killing someone You know, that's or you know taking someone's life. That's way heavier. You know, I'm saying about the same time It's it's one of those things where at the end of the day We're supposed to forgive and they're not saying people can't forgive Crispin wall for what he did But you can't forget and that's what tarnishes his legacy That goes for anybody, you know, I'm a big fan of Michael Jordan. You see the Jordan's behind me He he's my greatest player to ever play basketball of all time. He's my goal You know, I put him at number one above everybody else but If it came out and he murdered a few people or murdered just one person That would change his legacy forever You know I'm saying that would change his legacy forever for sure and no one's perfect So I'm not gonna sit up here and say oh, you know, I'm saying you can't support someone if they do one bad thing Because we're all human beings But then you have to start questioning yourself if they murdered someone or took someone's life For no apparent reason or you know, they're you know, just someone didn't have a choice in the matter Now I was like, I don't know if I can just be walking around wearing Jordans like that I don't know if I can consider them to go no matter what he's done. He took an innocent person life. I don't Yeah, you can say separate that but it's like nah His legacy will forever be tarnished about that just like if I did something very heinous I wouldn't expect y'all to be like, oh Well, Ross was really a good person before then we should still support his videos No, if I did something evil in heinous and I know I did something evil in heinous I would expect y'all to be like, no, I'm good on watching his content anymore. I'm good on checking out his old videos I'm good on supporting whatever he had going on because what he did at the end was very messed up. He can be forgiven But you're not gonna forget certain things So if y'all want me to talk about that crisp and wall situation give my real deep dive opinion on that I definitely will because I think it's an interesting conversation to have separating the wrestler from His ending his actions and what he's done. So comment down below. Let me know if there's any other Moments that wwe has conveniently rewrote Um re rewriting their history, but I appreciate all of the support you guys shown on the channel wrote 250k I'm still the end speedy youtube wrestling champion the world. Appreciate y'all kicking me see our next one
