I loved this one, and reading the comments from a lot of fans that talked about coming into wrestling fandom with this PPV. I was the exact same way. I discovered wrestling shortly before this PPV, and became heavily invested in the likes of Diesel, HBK, and Bret, and the Undertaker vs Undertaker match. There have been some posts about long term booking and storylines, and one storyline that has never been recognized is the Undertaker vs Yokozuna storyline. It started at what, the Royal Rumble casket match, wove its way through the Undertaker vs Undertaker match at Summer Slam, and concluded with another casket match at Survivor Series.

Actually, you can trace the beginning of Undertaker/Yokozuna back to Survivor Series 1993. The interaction between the two in that match was what set up the original casket match. That feud was actually my introduction to wrestling. On Halloween night 1994, my uncle was playing the WWF Royal Rumble game, as The Undertaker against Yokozuna. On Thanksgiving, when we went over to my Nana's house, he showed me part of the Survivor Series casket match, which he taped the night before. And eventually, he got the Undertaker: He Buries Them Alive VHS, which included Undertaker vs. Undertaker and the Casket Match on it, along with Taker matches against Kwang, Jim Neidhart and Jerry Lawler. That was my most watched wrestling tape as a kid lol

Could thet be traced to Dibiase's involvement with the fake Undertaker?

His viewer totals for this season are a fraction of what they were just even 2 seasons ago. Victim of Youtube algorhythm nonsense?

Could thet be traced to Dibiase's involvement with the fake Undertaker? I would think so. Even though the feud ended up being over possession of the urn, you could say that Ted wanted the urn as revenge for Paul Bearer and Undertaker foiling his plans. The Mabel feud also started during that feud. And if you go back further, his feud with Giant Gonzales was directly spun off from his feud with Kamala. So from summer 1992 until December 1995, every Undertaker feud essentially spun off from the previous one, save for a slight gap between Gonzales and Yokozuna.

Makes sense even though I can't recall neither DiBiase nor the commentators really mentioning the events of the Summer of 94 during that feud. I do recall that the IRS portion of the program kicked off due to Irwin going to the local cemetery and repossessing flowers and head stones from the grave sites because "being dead doesn't excuse anyone from paying their fair share of taxes." 1995 WWF everybody.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmFHEplf6lIHis Clash at the Castle review. I know it's wrong to judge people on looks and people you've never met, but Mister Ohlala screams future issue. BZ has had enough issues with people on his channel.

I watch the ppvs before he releases the videos. Vengeance 2003 is a banger.

Vengeance 03 was the first PPV that happened after I started watching—well I started late May 03 but I didn't watch Raw until August so Vengeance was the first PPV I paid attention to—so I'm really nostalgic for this one.

Watched his most recent countdown on unlikely world champions and I gotta say, very rare miss by Zane to not have Rey on there.
I mean, regardless of circumstances…come on!!! Literally the opposite of what Vince seeks in top champions (and was booked accordingly during his first reign, lol)

BZ has had enough issues with people on his channel. I can't watch any of the videos with that dude on there. He looks so f***ing bored and disinterested, and looks like he'd rather be anywhere else. Like you could cut to a wide shot and off camera there someone holding a gun on him making him do the video and I wouldn't be surprised. He's like walking Ambien, and for me ruins the videos he's in, which sucks b/c I wanted to hear what BZ thought of All Out, but I can't sit through it. People in the comments seem to love him though.

Wregret has had a couple guests on there that I thought have been horrible. This was where I first encountered Phelous, and couldn't get past his awful voice. I was surprised to find out later on he is a moderately successful youtuber.

He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Man, that Kaufman video was somethin' else. Also, some of the stuff they would say to each other in Memphis was wild, not to mention a crowd booing when a (heel) manager asks for sympathy because his charge is actually dead.

Zane dropped a 2-for-1 this week! Both a Best of AND Worst of for AEW since their inception.
For the worst of list, #1 is exactly what you'd expect but realistically, it kinda had to be that, lol.

No real surprises in the list of worst. But really... was totally accurate.
