 What's good, Josh Boros back again with another video. So I'm gonna check out 15 times. WWE took shots at rival companies. WWE is not afraid to get paid. They have done this time and time again. I know people have the criticism that AEW sends a lot of shots at WWE, you know. And to be fair, you can say that criticism is justified. They will send some shots at WWE and their talent there. I mean, a lot of them are from WWE, so I get it. But at the same time, WWE has done it time and time and time again, like they have. Because they know they're the biggest wrestling company in the world. There's no wrestling company that's bigger than WWE, not AEW, not New Japan. No company right now is bigger than WWE, they know that. So they can push their weight and talk the trash every now and then, because they know who's gonna beat them. So we're gonna check out some of the moments where WWE said, fuck it, we them niggas and what y'all gonna do about it. Appreciate all of support, skip right into this one. Anything you could have asked me about AEW? I remember this. WWE is the king of professional wrestling, but many companies have tried to take the crowd. WWE isn't afraid to take shots at their competition. And sometimes, it's been very literal. E-generate it, now we got the rules! Some shots were so bad that WWE actually got sued. We'll get to that soon. First, I would not want to be this guy. In the 2000s, WWE's biggest rival was a company called Total Non-Stop Action, or TNA. TNA? For the first several years, WWE didn't even acknowledge TNA's existence. But that didn't stop fans. During WWE's fan calling show, the company got bombarded with TNA questions. The best part, though, is how the host, Todd Grisham, responded. Maybe you don't have to hold TNA's better than WWE. Well, then why are you calling our show retard? Because you're the bigger arm. You know what's crazy? He cannot say that word. No, you can't say that word, bro. Not say that word. Not publicly. Because boy, he would have got canceled. But he said, why are you calling the show? That's fucking great. You or Hollywood Hulk Hogan, and everybody check out TNAWrestling.com. Bob, are you there? Hi, Todd. Yes. What's up? What's up? Hi, I just want to say I love how you dodge TNA questions like you dodge the women. Women dodge me. I don't dodge women. And then he hangs up. He dodges me. As TNA grew and grew more and more of a crowd, WWE decided to take a few shots at the company. In the lead up to AJ Styles and The Undertaker's match in WrestleMania, both men got very personal. The dead man dug into AJ's past and won the victims with Styles former employer TNA. While addressing what AJ had said, Undertaker said this. You said maybe 10, 15 years ago, you probably wouldn't want to try me. You damn right you wouldn't want to. You were content being a big fish, you little punk. Even Crude Angle. That was a cool, I like that buildup they had. AJ and Undertaker, that was a cool buildup. Especially for the pandemic era too, that was a cool buildup. You was a big fish in a little pond, my boy. You didn't want that smoke, I like it. Good dick and his former employer. For Angle's time as the general manager of Raw, Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens can be listed on the medallist after they've been kicked off the SmackDown. Here's what Kurt said. My tag team division is full, but I hear that TNA is hiring. And it's crazy coming from, deep down there was Mr. TNA, Perk Angle himself. Peak Perk Angle was in TNA doing crazy. So the fact that he said that of all people, it's crazy. This though was the sickest shot WWE ever took at TNA. Before it became WWE's development system, NXT was sort of a reality show. Eight rookie wrestlers would compete in shows that would later become a member of the main WWE roster. During one week, the rookies were given an open mic and allowed to talk about anything they wanted. One rookie sought opportunity and took full advantage of it. What's your topic? Hey man, I'm just gonna have some fun tonight. The topic is gonna be NXT. So go ahead call me rookie, find out what I'm packing because I'm the only reason for some total nonstop action. Not surprising, that guy won the competition two weeks later. That was a pretty good dig, but TNA didn't sue. Another company did though, and it was hilarious. First though, WWE has taken a decent amount of shots as their current competitor, all week wrestling, or even WWE. One of the first was at the 2019 WWE Hall of Fame. Degeneration acts was being inducted, and of course, Billy Gunn was part of it. However, Gunn had signed with All Elite Wrestling a few months earlier. This was DX, so they had to bring it up. Shawn Michaels started talking about Gunn and made a reference to AEW. But you know what, we appreciate you being here and you know, being all in. All in was to be produced by the founders of All Elite Wrestling and a precursor to AEW. However, Triple H took a much harder shot at the outside company. Let's be honest, he will buy that piss-in company just to fire you again. This isn't even the worst WWE has done. One of the biggest failures in AEW history happened at the 2021 Revolution's cameo. In the main event, Kenny Omega took on Jon Moxley in an exploding barbed wire death match. Everything went well until the explosion was supposed to happen. It didn't look that impressive at all, with just some spark-foods going off and a few bursts of pyro. Fans were vocal about the failure, but WWE also made fun of AEW. On Raw, a week after the incident, Drew McIntyre was in the ring, responding to Bobby Lashley and MVP. Specifically, Drew is addressing guarantees that MVP had made, leading to McIntyre saying this. That's such a dangerous thing to do in this industry. If you make a guarantee and you don't deliver, fans get upset, sparks fly. And the WWE eventually got back at WWE by taking a shot of their own. In late November, 2021, Steve Hunk and MJF had an epic verbal battle in the ring. Classic promo battle. They left each other and both then made several references and digs at WWE, including one made about the Miz. Yep. He thinks what he does is revolutionary to the wrestling business when in reality, he's just a less famous Miz. I'm sorry. And MJF was holding his own. He was really going back and forth, but this one, that was food. That was a haymaker line, bro. Calling him a less known Miz was wild. But look at MJF now. He's on top of AEW as he deserves. He's not gonna stand by quietly and took their own shot of AEW a week later. Which is crazy, this whole segment. CM Punk's not even in AEW no more. May even end up in WWE again. And Edge is in AEW now. This is fucking crazy. By the Miz, this led to the radar superstar saying this. You have people on other shows saying your name just to get a cheap reaction. You live rent free in a lot of heads. Once Cody Rhodes was crazy, it was only a matter of time before people brought up his career with AEW. Every single day that you were gone, you and your little friends, you tried to tear down what I was building here. And when that didn't work out so well for you, you came running back. You don't get to take a sledgehammer to the throne and then come back and throw it. We all remember that. That was a moment he took the sledgehammer to the throne, you know, the symbolism with Triple H. And then he came back and I love that Seth Rollins brought this up. This was a very good feud when Cody came back to WWE for, man, really good feud. Try to take it. Funny enough, another member of the shield would use Cody Rhodes to take a shot at AEW. Before wrestling in 39, Cody came face to face with his opponent, Ron Reigns. The treble chief then needed this comment. You didn't want to do the Stardust thing, so what happened? You ran away. And what happened? You ran away, you started a company and a promotion that you couldn't get over in. And then you ran away. This is so good, bro. Roman was cooking right there, bro. You couldn't get over it, so guess what? You ran away. It might be surprising, but WWE actually did something worse than this. In early 2020, WWE debuted a manager called Robert Stone. The character was a parody of AEW owner, Tony Khan, just like the resemblance. Wow. Robert Stone appeared on NXT, where he had tried to recruit wrestlers to join his brand and would be presented as the biggest wuss. This train is picking up steam and do you wanna come on out? I didn't even know this was a thing, but he definitely got the Tony Khan coked up vibes. Damn. Tony Khan did not sue WWE, but this next company did. From the middle to late 90s, WWE was battling with Ted Turner's wrestling company, WCW. WWE's first attempt at taking down WCW was a series of skits called Billionaire Ted's wrestling war room that aged pretty poorly. What if all our stars have to take a legitimate drug test for steroids? You don't have to worry about that, brother, because we're not in the WWF anymore. Wow. Surprisingly, that is not what WCW sued WWE for. WWE eventually got better and started taking some really dirty shots at their competition. One of the best was when they mocked WCW's biggest star, Goldberg, by making an entirely new wrestler. Yep. Look out, look out, look out. Goldberg. Being the best talker on the mic, you know The Rock took some shots at WCW. After leaving world championship wrestling, Chris Jericho made his WWE debut by confronting the Brahma Bull. The Rock and YGJ continued to butt heads, leading Rocky to take a shot at Jericho's former employer. You think you impressed The Rock? Why? Because a couple of months ago, you were down south, beating some jabroni named Huventude? I guess The Rock was being paid back for Huventude Guerrera, mocking him a few months earlier. WWE eventually went too far though and found themselves in court. In 1998, X-Poc was fired from WCW and just a few days later, joined WWE. Of course, X-Poc took some shots at his former employer. I earned Hulk Hogan. Come out on television. It's not my fault that he can't cut the mustard and run with the rest of the NWO. However, the comment that got WWE sued was this. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall would be standing right here with us and see that's a fact. X-Poc got the blows for that, which led to a bigger lawsuit from WCW, who claimed WWE was engaging in unfair trade. It's just amazing to me that they'd be going through a wrestling promo like, okay, and then you said this and this. The final thing you said here, sir, is suck it. They asked me that. Wow. What do you mean suck it? Like, what does that have to do with anything? Wow. Several WWE fans also found themselves in court after they destroyed a WWE. That's crazy, bro. Damn, man. Hey, it's part of the friendly. It's not friendly, but it's part of competition. I personally don't get up in arms about them mentioning other companies. As long as it's not a constant thing, we get why it's done. But at this point, WWE doesn't really have to because we all know they're still the bigger company. They are. They are the bigger company. They will for, I don't know, maybe forever be the bigger company because AEW had multiple chances to really capitalize. But I think WWE has been in such a good run, especially with the PLEs as of late. And the product has gotten better than what it was, especially when Vince McMahon was in full, total creative control that they're losing out. They're losing out for sure. So, you know, these companies are gonna take their digs. But I think in WWE's case, they don't have to anymore because they know no one's beating them. It's true as of right now. So comment down below. Let me know what's your favorite. I guess you can say shots that WWE is taking at other companies. And also let me know what's your favorite like shots that AEW and WCW and all these other companies have taken at WWE. Let me know down below. But I appreciate all of this and I'll support you guys on the channel. Welcome to 152K. And I'm still here. This is me, the YouTube wrestling champion of the world. Appreciate you all kicking me. See you in the next one. Peace.
