Good review as always. About the Bret Hart tap out; the reason it didn't count is that back in the early 90s they didn't do tap outs for submission moves. You ether told the ref you wanted it to stop or they did the three arm drops to show you passed out. Watch a lot of matches from that time and you see guys "tapping" as a way to express pain or, as you said, to fire the crowd up. Tapping out didn't become a thing till the late 90s, the attitude era and the rise of MMA.
Tazz is the one who made tapping out a real mainstay though. He’s generally regarded as the main influence behind tapping out becoming a modern rule in pro wrestling.
ikr? Same here. I couldn't believe Owen beat him when I was younger. Every match Owen & Bret had was pure gold though, that steel cage match at Summerslam is still one of my favorite Steel Cage matches ever. So good.
The live crowd was in shock (I was there). No one expected it to go down like that--- and it made Bret beating Yokozuna that much better... what a great show/memory :).
It was one of the greatest WrestleMania matches ever, a true 5 star classic in my view cause they're brothers and they're dad taught his sons everything he knew! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Vince called everything a "maneuver" on commentary. "DID YOU SEE THAT?" Actually not, Vince. I've been blind since birth. My parents ordered Wrestlemania for me as a birthday present. Could you please give me some idea of what just happened?
I agree. It is strange how he did not become a bigger star. Similar size and athletic skills to Vader, perhaps even superior skills, yet Vader became a superstar and Bigelow just and upper mid-carder. Bigelow also had that iconic look where you would instantly recognise him. He really should have become an icon like Hogan, Andre and The Ultimate Warrior.
@@mrhyde2937 I haven´t watched enough from them to have a strong opinion, but I think I remember watching Bam Bam do dropkicks and all sorts of moves a man his size shouldn´t be able to do and thinking he may even be better in the ring than Vader (who himself was outstanding for his size).
Best line in wrestling history. Owen is an absolute legend. The tragedy that took him from us all was awful. The hart family were in a league of their own
My two pence worth: 1.Rhonda Shear guest-starred in a lot of TV shows throughout the 70's and 80's, such as Happy Days, Cheers, and The A-Team (I got this info from the New Generation Project Podcast). 2.I've heard rumors that the Tag-Team Titles match was originally going to be the blow-off to the feud between the Quebecers and the Steiner Brothers, stemming from the September 13th 1993 episode of Raw when the Quebecers won the titles in a Province of Quebec Rules match. Obviously, it would be a no-brainer for the Steiners to win back the gold on the grandest stage of them all. But, Vince found out after the 1994 Royal Rumble that the Steiners also wanted to wrestle for New Japan while renewing their WWF contracts, so he took them off the card and replaced them with M.O.M. Because of this, the Steiners left the WWF before King of the Ring and would spend the rest of 1994 in Japan, with their contracts expiring in December. 3.The urban legend that Luger was scheduled to win the World Title here and spilled the beans about it the night before at an NY bar is completely false, because Luger was actually in Conneticut with his family, as they were visiting some friends the night before. Also, Vince was smart enough to listen to the mega-sized pop that Bret got from the Providence fans at the Royal Rumble, as well as the boo's Luger received from that same crowd. 4.Another reason for Perfect screwing Luger over was to get back at him for whacking him in the head with his steel-plated forearm at WrestleMania 9. 5.Bob Holly, who was scheduled to tag with Tatanka, The 1-2-3 Kid, and the Smoking Gunns against IRS, Martel, Jarrett, and the Headshrinkers, recalls in his book "The Hardcore Truth" how Macho berated Shawn and Razor backstage for allowing their match to go on *WAY* over their alloted time: "He ripped them a new asshole and called them selfish motherfuckers. He told them that they had disrespected the other boys by taking their TV time and their spot on WrestleMania in order to go over their time allowance. Randy felt it was a 'screw you' to everyone else, that Shawn and Scott thought that their match was going to be so good that they could screw 10 guys out of a WrestleMania appearance and a payday." On the plus side, the ten-man tag match was taped the next night, and was shown on the April 4th edition of Raw, with Team IRS getting the win when IRS pinned the Kid, who hit the corner. This match was included on the UK-exclusive WWF Mania VHS tape, which was hosted by Johnny Polo, who took every opportunity to bury Todd Pettengill.
Deep Ghoul Great information and I loved every minute of this comment line for line! Well for me who goes back further than most fans here I'm assuming born in (77') so I watched through the Golden era in my opinion 1984-89'. The New Generation wasn't the same character driven wrestlers as I grew up with in the mid to late 80's. Obviously barring a few great ones hence the Bret Harts, Macho Man although here Vince had him on such a uninteresting fued with Crush the 3rd demolition where they immediately lost interest to me and now a heel far from the Hawaiian feel good Crush who was more for kids much like the other gimmicks during this era. hence Doink and worse yet Dink , M.O.M. the failed rap group yet popular with.....you guessed it the kids! Now I know what you're thinking I was a kid in the 80's? How were my guys not... Because they weren't gimmicks they didn't change names like 123 Kid from a somewhat successful Raw match. We had Andre the Giant. Sure we had Koko B. Ware bird gimmick British Bulldogs Matilda but Rick Rude!? Jake the Snake a gimmick? Ricky The Dragon Steamboat gimmick? not until he was in the 90's era. none of these guys could be lowered to a gimmick. Dynamite Kid is referred to the most breakthrough wrestler for his time. Steamboat is referred to as having the best match in history. Jake had one of the best promos in history. etc. With that said I did get the jist of what and who during this era because of my Lil brother. I knew lex lugar but his gimmick's were forgettable even when he got the biggest push ever pre HBK.
There's a video on the WWE TH-cam page of HBK and Razor(last week i believe) watching their match and they said there was only 1 ladder and they didn't have any plans for what would happen if that ladder broke.
th-cam.com/video/YegEqMalt1Y/w-d-xo.html that one I assume :) thanks for alerting me to that, I didn't know they did it. Cool watch, hope they do more classic ones like that. Most have been more recent, though there's a few others that aren't.
@@Toast960 Well considering they really didn't do many ladder matches at this time, it kinda makes sense. I bet they didn't have a backup in 92 when Bret and Shawn had theirs either.
In late 1993, Shawn Michaels was legitimately suspended for Steroid usage. He denied it, but it was upheld. Michaels went nuts and took the belt with him. He agreed to come back in time for the Survivor Series, and the rivalry was on.
Always loved this WrestleMania, so many favorites from this HBK vs Razor, Owen vs Bret, Bret vs Yokozuna etc. I'm glad you're reviewing WMXX, I would love to see Brian review Judgment Day 2002 & Vengeance 2002. R.I.P. Randy Savage, Burt Reynolds, Yokozuna, Roddy Piper & Viscera :(
TheBraunMachine2011 who is Viscera? Also you forgot RIP to Moe and Mable of Men on a Mission, Perfect, Bam Bam, Luna, Crush, Little Richard, Mr Fuji...
So apparently while in Gorilla position Savage congratulated Scott and Shawn for a match well done and then chewed them out for being selfish by going into overtime and costing 10 guys their match.
Pillman is one of my faves. Man is one of the most underrated wrestlers especially amongst casual fans and the way he worked the crowd by playing to the smarks thus making them buy into the character even more is genius.
What a coincide in wrestlemania 10 Bret Hart a technical wrestler won the championship and the main event In wrestlermania 20 Chris Benoit a technical wrestler won the championship and the main event In wrestlemania 30 Daniel Bryan a technical wrestler won the championship and the main event
Once in a while, the belt goes to someone who can wrestle, and not just the big muscle guy, who may or may not be related to Vince, or is a movie star.
New Kids rebranded themselves in 1993 to try to get away from the Bubblegum Pop image. At that point they were officially known as NKOTB and they put out a more adult themed album called Face The Music. They broke up and stayed gone for nearly 15 years shortly thereafter. Not that you or anyone else really cares lol.
Raymond Frand it’s funny cause that was also the same year that Vanilla Ice tried to harden his image, ie when he had dreadlocks, and rapped about weed.
Thank you for doing this, Brian. You have no idea how many times I've watched this on VHS tape (God, I'm old!) over and over again. I loved this show! Easily, my top 10 all-time favorite Wrestlemania events. (P.S. Hopefully, WWE doesn't take this down.)
Al's Variety You're not old brother, I remember taping it and my family's collection of PPV tapes and tapes of Raw in later years. We aren't old, we are experienced and got to live through some of the greatest wrestling ever!
23:30 There's a video on WWE's Channel of Shawn and Scott rewatching the match and they said that there was no contingency plan, that was the only ladder in the building. If had been broke they'd been screwed.
Fun fact: new kids on the block we're actually called NKOTB around this time, when they came back with a new record and trying to be more hip and cool. P.s. didn't work!
He tried then Yokozuna from his back "tossed" him over the top rope to the ground lol. As a kid I was amazed. Looking at it now, u can't tell macho man pretty much jumped over the rope himself lolololol
Yet another solid review for your classic PPV list, Brian. IDK if it's coincidental or just perfect timing, but this vid was dropped one day after the 25th anniversary of this show, so it all makes sense why we should revisit it.
That was my idea lol. I wanted to do a 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania 10 live commentary but FB blocks WWE stuff so I figured to have Brian do it because hes better at this anyway.
My favorite part of that ladder match is a story from Hardcore Holly's book about how Randy Savage tore Michaels and Ramon new assholes the second they walked through the curtain for going over their time.
Their match was an all time classic that got over an entire match type which would have likely been scrapped otherwise. I'm glad they gave us what they did rather than cut things out for the sake of a "get everyone on the show" tag match. IMO the biggest show of the year should have a talent cutoff where only the best get to be there.
DrknssRules1 then Vince winks at Shawn and Razor and ups their payday. You really think Shawn and Razor did that on purpose. Bosses secret orders. Vince saved at least $100,000 in payoffs.
And they OPENED the show! At that point, everyone else had an uphill battle. Only Shawn and Razor came close, though they did it with a match made for big spots rather than technical ability.
Say what you want...but Bret Hart IS THE BEST WRESTLER OF ALL TIME. Watch his Matches, timeless Classics. His Matches versus Perfect, Bulldog, Owen, Austin, the list goes on and on...
@@tycalvert7322 Undertaker is a legend, no doubt about it, but he's had loads of terrible matches. Because of his gimmick a lot of Undertaker's matches in his early years were slow, plodding, boring matches. Mankind in 1996 revitalised Undertaker.
@Reds Fan sensitive much? probably thought of that because it was a LAME gimmick trying to put over an established star that failed miserably. Ironic seeing a presumably Trump supporter calling somebody else (who may also be a Trump supporter?) a Nazi.
@@gossamer1234 That was exactly the context I was going for. Overused gimmick for a legendary wrestler because, you know, P A T R I O T I S M... Nothing to do with the current political landscape whatsoever.
Owen the greatest wrestler to never hold the WWF Title. The guy had EVERYTHING...just not the greatest promo. Absolutely fantastic match, one of the greatest of all time
This was at a time not everybody got that title at least once. When i think back how good the midcard was and how many deserved to be champion but didn‘t get the chance.
@@Samuelfish2k Nah, he face fucked the shit out of Monica Lewinsky in affair form my dude. He never raped her at all, unless you're talking about someone else
Can't wait for my favorite Irish lads to do a WM X show lols... they are hilarious - - - I found Brian's channel about a month ago--- he is one of best! At such a young age to have amassed such a followings is quite impressive. He knows his stuff and has an obvious passion for the culture.
I always get very nostalgic whenever I rewatch this event, because it was not only the first Wrestlemania I ever watched, but it was also the first wrestling event I ever watched.
Vince called little Richard a wild man in the introduction, which of course would be the nickname given to Marc mero 2 years later. At this point, Marc is known as Johnny b badd, which was given to him because of how much he looked like little richard
This was actually the first "classic" PPV that I rented on VHS/watched when I first got into wrestling as a kid in the late 90s. Been looking forward to this review for numerous reasons. Great job as always!
Excellent review as always, but I’m surprised you didn’t mention anything about the coin toss Hart and Luger did to decide who wrestled Yoko first. If Bret had won, he would’ve faced Yoko first in the card, and the opening would’ve been Luger vs. Crush.
@@youtubeadmin1588 That sounds like there was only ever one belt around and that a new one was made if the older one got misplaced. In fact, there is always more than one belt around.
As the guy below pointed out, tap outs only started to happen in late 97 after Shamrock debuted. The Macho/Crush FCA match was pretty much the only FCA match in WWF, televised I can think of up to that point so they were definitely testing the water with that. As a kid, I thought it was one of the coolest looking matches I'd ever seen. You NEVER saw the back of the arena in PPV matches back then.
0:50 Brian, with or without Hogan, WM9 didn't have a good name to tarnish. :P Man, this PPV brings back memories...remember watching it live with my best friend (who sadly isn't a wrestling fan anymore), and just being so excited by the prospect of Bret Hart being World Champ again...and then the opening match just blew us both clean away. One of the best WMs ever for me, if only because I enjoyed it so damn much as a kid.
I had a main floor aisle seat at Summerslam '94 and was within a foot of Alundra/Madusa. Yes, she really was a babe. It's a shame there was no women's division other than whoever Vince brought in just long enough to feud with her.
With regards to the Macho Man/Crush match, I think the kayfabe reason he went to pin him outside as opposed to in the ring is because they thought that if they pinned him in the ring, then he'd immediately get back into the match rather than just lose under these conditions. Legitimately, it's so they can have a longer match
Wrestlemania 10 was almost perfect. That one tag match was bad. Everything else was either good or great. Instant classic. Made me take notice of WWF. I only watched NWA/WCW and Memphis prior to Mania X.
YEAH YOU BEING A MORON LOSER DUMBASS AND WORKING AT MCDONALD'S AND WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT TO WITH A WOMAN EVEN IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.EVRN YOUR RUBBER DOLL BUSTED ITSELF BECAUSE IT WAS TIRED OF YOU BUT HEY YOU HAVE YOUR WRASSLE MANIA 10, T-SHIRT ON THOUGH RIGHT ASSJACK 😁😁🖕🖕🖕😄
Man you sometimes forget how big Scott Hall was/is. Mostly because he was always standing next to Nash or The Giant, but when you see him with a guy with normal height like Shawn, he looks like a fookin' monster.
@mcgannahanskyellyeftti They did and it was a good match. @Joes Martz I guess you'd consider anything without extraneous objects and big spots or some shorts of crashboombang "lame".
The New Kids On The Block reunited and went by their initials for about two months. 'Mania 10 occurred during that reunion. Hence the announcers calling them NKOTB. Yes. I'm ashamed to know that.
Wrestlemania X is easily one of my favorites as I am a big Bret Hart fan. This one falls in my top 5 WM's of all time as you have 2 of the best matches in Wrestlemania history and the desired payoff for the WWE Title as fans made clear at the Royal Rumble that they wanted Bret to win and he did. 1994 may not have been one of the best years in wrestling history (1995 being the worst), but WWE had good matches at, for the time, the big 5 PPV's, and all of them featured Bret, Owen, Shawn, and Razor with really good matches. The other matches on this show at least didn't do any kind of reputable damage, unlike it's predecessor, or it's successor. This was also the period where WWE had a pattern of good Wrestlemania/bad Wrestlemania's. 8, 10, 12, and 14 were good, 9, 11, 13 (THE match aside), and 15 (excluding the last 2 matches).
I enjoyed your review. I totally disagree with your B-. To me, this is my all time favorite Wrestlemania. I remember all the story lines and build ups. I know you didn't watch wrestling back then, but man. This was a great time to be a fan. Just my opinion. I still loved your review.
Interesting point of note to the younger fans of wrestling, and an interesting point you brought up in this video. I've heard a lot of younger fans talking about Bret tapping out during that Sharpshooter spot and why the ref didn't call the match there. The answer is because this was before the time of tapping out. You had to tell the ref I quit, or if he asks you if you quit say yes. Tapping out really didn't come into play until the UFC really started becoming a hot thing
And they got the title shot against the Quebecers before the Steiners were in hot water with Vince for wanting to also wrestle for NJPW while renewing their WWF contracts.
I remember seeing razor vs Shawn at my high school 2 months before wrestle mania 10. They had the same ladder match spot for spot. When we watched wrestle mania 2 months later we were calling every spot before they happened.
I love how Yokozuna, despite being the heel, had to wrestle two matches, something that they usually have the baby faces do. I just find that really funny that they couldn't just have Bret face Luger to determine a true number one contender
Everyone was designed to wrestle twice. But I always feltl like Lugar should have won against Yoko and theb lost to Bret then leading to a Liger heel turn.
@@QTCutes Luger was not getting over with fans. Part of that was his momentum was really killed when he beat Yokozuna at SummerSlam the previous year by countout (and frankly, he looked like an idiot by celebrating despite not winning the title)
Sad thing was if the ten man tag happened, all ten guys (Billy and Bart Gunn, 123 Kid, Tatanka, Holly, Rikishi, Samu, Jarrett, Martel and IRS) are still with us

@@Sandovian
Ya I ment to say years earlier Taz started it
I think the arrival of Ken Shamrock in 1997 was what brought tapping out to mainstream wrestling.

Shawn vs Razor Ladder Match one of the best matches in WM history. Nothing of value was lost when that 10 man tag didn't make the card.
Not to those 10 men who missed a ppv payday.
There were some good workers in that ten-man, though. I think they would have been better off cutting some other matches, but hindsight is 20/20.
Tapouts in WWE didn't exist until Ken Shamrock came along
Which is kind of funny to think about since when he tapped in UFC 1 he tried to say that didn't mean he gave up lol
Always loved this WrestleMania, so many favorites from this HBK vs Razor, Owen vs Bret, Bret vs Yokozuna etc. I'm glad you're reviewing WMXX, I would love to see Brian review Judgment Day 2002 & Vengeance 2002.

New Kids rebranded themselves in 1993 to try to get away from the Bubblegum Pop image.
At that point they were officially known as NKOTB and they put out a more adult themed album called Face The Music.

That was a cool look for the time, look at vanilla ice or MC hammer.
@@fartinfrog7150 I was a MOM fan, has Brian reviewed the rap with Macoman, for Lex Lurger yet?
You were thinking creamy chocolate.
23:30 There's a video on WWE's Channel of Shawn and Scott rewatching the match and they said that there was no contingency plan, that was the only ladder in the building. If had been broke they'd been screwed.
There's a video, or DVD with CM Punk going through the WWE's warehouse and they still had the WMX ladder
To Be Fair... Men on a Mission were *the New Day* of their day.
Now I kinda wanna see The New Day do one of those homage recreations of Men on a Mission - Big E as Mabel, Kofi as Mo, and Xavier as Oscar

Arjay 82 lol yeah right.
As far as the tapping out by Bret is concerned submission by tap out wasn't a thing in the WWF until late 1997.
Yeah, I think that all started with Ken Shamrock...
@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti1663 yep
Wow.
I third that
Wow, I never knew that. But apparently, tapping out in WWF was introduced when Ken Shamrock joined. Before, submissions were verbal only.
Randy savage tried to pin yokozuna in the royal rumble.
He tried then Yokozuna from his back "tossed" him over the top rope to the ground lol. As a kid I was amazed. Looking at it now, u can't tell macho man pretty much jumped over the rope himself lolololol
Yet another solid review for your classic PPV list, Brian. IDK if it's coincidental or just perfect timing, but this vid was dropped one day after the 25th anniversary of this show, so it all makes sense why we should revisit it.
That was my idea lol. I wanted to do a 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania 10 live commentary but FB blocks WWE stuff so I figured to have Brian do it because hes better at this anyway.
1993 Doink: Pennywise
1994 Doink: Ronald McDonald
My favorite part of that ladder match is a story from Hardcore Holly's book about how Randy Savage tore Michaels and Ramon new assholes the second they walked through the curtain for going over their time.
Their match was an all time classic that got over an entire match type which would have likely been scrapped otherwise. I'm glad they gave us what they did rather than cut things out for the sake of a "get everyone on the show" tag match. IMO the biggest show of the year should have a talent cutoff where only the best get to be there.
@@palaceofwisdom9448 If Undertaker Were There He'd Chokeslam Them Both
DrknssRules1 then Vince winks at Shawn and Razor and ups their payday. You really think Shawn and Razor did that on purpose. Bosses secret orders. Vince saved at least $100,000 in payoffs.
Bret and Owen stole the show
They would also steal feud of the year in 1994
And they OPENED the show! At that point, everyone else had an uphill battle. Only Shawn and Razor came close, though they did it with a match made for big spots rather than technical ability.
Easily.
Flashback Attack don’t forget also that without Bret, ladder match never happens.
94 was a good year for Owen
Ah, mid 90s Rhonda Shear, my wrist is sore just thinking about it.
Say what you want...but Bret Hart IS THE BEST WRESTLER OF ALL TIME. Watch his Matches, timeless Classics. His Matches versus Perfect, Bulldog, Owen, Austin, the list goes on and on...
Agreed!
I tend to keep Undertaker, Shawn Michaeps, and Ric Flair in no certain order as my top wrestlers ever.
He delivers masterpieces nonstop.
Myers 1978 Truth.
@@tycalvert7322 Undertaker is a legend, no doubt about it, but he's had loads of terrible matches. Because of his gimmick a lot of Undertaker's matches in his early years were slow, plodding, boring matches. Mankind in 1996 revitalised Undertaker.

I would love to see a 'Murica Lex Luger gimmick video.
I'm sure your insight would be priceless.

I always get very nostalgic whenever I rewatch this event, because it was not only the first Wrestlemania I ever watched, but it was also the first wrestling event I ever watched.
Vince called little Richard a wild man in the introduction, which of course would be the nickname given to Marc mero 2 years later. At this point, Marc is known as Johnny b badd, which was given to him because of how much he looked like little richard
This was actually the first "classic" PPV that I rented on VHS/watched when I first got into wrestling as a kid in the late 90s. Been looking forward to this review for numerous reasons. Great job as always!
AnthonyLayton90 exactly the same I did! Then I rented every WrestleMania Mammoth Video had to rent at the time.
Excellent review as always, but I’m surprised you didn’t mention anything about the coin toss Hart and Luger did to decide who wrestled Yoko first.
If Bret had won, he would’ve faced Yoko first in the card, and the opening would’ve been Luger vs. Crush.
Thank goodness that didn’t happened imagine not having Bret vs Owen

You're wrong Shawn got suspended cuz he failed a drug test and wouldn't send the belt back to Vince.....that's why 2 ppl have belts
Yep Shawn had the original belt still. I like that he explained all that when him and Razor watched that match together.
Jay Nol right except Shawn didnt “keep” the belt, Vince had another one made for the tournament.
@@youtubeadmin1588 That sounds like there was only ever one belt around and that a new one was made if the older one got misplaced. In fact, there is always more than one belt around.

Wasnt shawn stripped of the belt and suspended because of some steroid test
As the guy below pointed out, tap outs only started to happen in late 97 after Shamrock debuted. The Macho/Crush FCA match was pretty much the only FCA match in WWF, televised I can think of up to that point so they were definitely testing the water with that. As a kid, I thought it was one of the coolest looking matches I'd ever seen. You NEVER saw the back of the arena in PPV matches back then.
0:50 Brian, with or without Hogan, WM9 didn't have a good name to tarnish. :P
Man, this PPV brings back memories...remember watching it live with my best friend (who sadly isn't a wrestling fan anymore), and just being so excited by the prospect of Bret Hart being World Champ again...and then the opening match just blew us both clean away. One of the best WMs ever for me, if only because I enjoyed it so damn much as a kid.
I think piper counting fast is really smart ...that's is personality he isn't gonna pace it out
RIP To the bad guy.
Wrestlemania X: Beloved by all Fans of Adam Bomb :-)
gosh. alundra was so beautiful
She still looks pretty damn good
I had a main floor aisle seat at Summerslam '94 and was within a foot of Alundra/Madusa. Yes, she really was a babe. It's a shame there was no women's division other than whoever Vince brought in just long enough to feud with her.
The division was Alundra, Luna, and the special guest heel of the season.
I think Alundra/Madusa was really hot and then got even hotter when she got the enormous plastic tits in WCW, god she looked good 😍
Womens wrestling is always defined by the look as you can see here.
Bruce Pritchard said on a recent podcast that there was a spare ladder under the ring
“Of course we did - we are not WCW” 😂😂
With regards to the Macho Man/Crush match, I think the kayfabe reason he went to pin him outside as opposed to in the ring is because they thought that if they pinned him in the ring, then he'd immediately get back into the match rather than just lose under these conditions. Legitimately, it's so they can have a longer match
Wrestlemania 10 was almost perfect. That one tag match was bad. Everything else was either good or great. Instant classic. Made me take notice of WWF. I only watched NWA/WCW and Memphis prior to Mania X.
Luger vs Yoko also sucked. At least Earthquake vs Adam Bomb was short. Still a great PPV.

The New Kids On The Block reunited and went by their initials for about two months. 'Mania 10 occurred during that reunion. Hence the announcers calling them NKOTB.
Yes. I'm ashamed to know that.
I laugh every time Brian says someone “eats shit.” I find that phrase hilarious for some reason.
Wrestlemania X is easily one of my favorites as I am a big Bret Hart fan. This one falls in my top 5 WM's of all time as you have 2 of the best matches in Wrestlemania history and the desired payoff for the WWE Title as fans made clear at the Royal Rumble that they wanted Bret to win and he did. 1994 may not have been one of the best years in wrestling history (1995 being the worst), but WWE had good matches at, for the time, the big 5 PPV's, and all of them featured Bret, Owen, Shawn, and Razor with really good matches. The other matches on this show at least didn't do any kind of reputable damage, unlike it's predecessor, or it's successor. This was also the period where WWE had a pattern of good Wrestlemania/bad Wrestlemania's. 8, 10, 12, and 14 were good, 9, 11, 13 (THE match aside), and 15 (excluding the last 2 matches).
I enjoyed your review. I totally disagree with your B-. To me, this is my all time favorite Wrestlemania. I remember all the story lines and build ups. I know you didn't watch wrestling back then, but man. This was a great time to be a fan. Just my opinion. I still loved your review.
Bret winning the title is my favourite wrestling moment
I was only 8 lol
JR SmithDrums81 hes way to over analytical and low with scores
I pretty much just watched all of raw 1993 and I can definitely say heel doink was way better
4y later and that lex video finally comes out 😂. Love the videos.
Great review; do more WcW Brian’ thanks
That outfit.... James E had a wrestlemania moment for sure!!!
Interesting point of note to the younger fans of wrestling, and an interesting point you brought up in this video. I've heard a lot of younger fans talking about Bret tapping out during that Sharpshooter spot and why the ref didn't call the match there. The answer is because this was before the time of tapping out. You had to tell the ref I quit, or if he asks you if you quit say yes. Tapping out really didn't come into play until the UFC really started becoming a hot thing
It didnt become a thing until Ken Shamrock started in the WWF
Because wrestling was still wrestling back in 1994.
The Men on a Mission Attire was probably a Rib.... The California Raisins were hot then right?
Define hot.
And they got the title shot against the Quebecers before the Steiners were in hot water with Vince for wanting to also wrestle for NJPW while renewing their WWF contracts.
15:20 : Zane's version of WHAT BBAARRR??!??
This was a great Mania, perfect storytelling and the matches were on point
It’s not that evil Doink was so much better than good guy Doink, it’s that Matt Bourne was so much better than anyone else doing the Doink gimmick.
True.
I remember seeing razor vs Shawn at my high school 2 months before wrestle mania 10. They had the same ladder match spot for spot. When we watched wrestle mania 2 months later we were calling every spot before they happened.
I was there and now I work in that very arena! Life has an awesome way of working
HBK and Hall recently did a video on WWE’s TH-cam channel where they watched this match and they said that there was no plan for if the ladder broke.
"Perfect's injuries flared back up"... Don't you mean FLAIR-ed back up? ;0p #illseemyselfout
Love cornette selling the punch at 26:28 what a way to sell it
I still loved that spot that Mo did when he tossed Mabel on top of the guy on the outside, why couldn’t Mo do the same thing for a pin attempt.
Let me guess. Ladder Match 4 stars...
Man, Owen vs Bret at Wrestlemania X, my favorite match EVER! Amazing and Masterful!
If 80's michael jackson played tennis he would wear what jim cornete wore
I like the new background, Brian 👍
I love how Yokozuna, despite being the heel, had to wrestle two matches, something that they usually have the baby faces do. I just find that really funny that they couldn't just have Bret face Luger to determine a true number one contender
Everyone was designed to wrestle twice. But I always feltl like Lugar should have won against Yoko and theb lost to Bret then leading to a Liger heel turn.
Or easier make it a Triple Threat.
Shawn Harrington a triple threat makes much more sense, actually
@@QTCutes Luger was not getting over with fans. Part of that was his momentum was really killed when he beat Yokozuna at SummerSlam the previous year by countout (and frankly, he looked like an idiot by celebrating despite not winning the title)
RetroAlchemist18 2000 at that time they rarely did triple threat matches, especially for WM main events.
Howard Finkle in a hair piece is probably the funniest sight ever!
For some reason that "Go save America, Hogan" line got me
The sad/crazy fact: The only match where all wrestlers in the match are alive is the ladder match between hbk n hall
Sad thing was if the ten man tag happened, all ten guys (Billy and Bart Gunn, 123 Kid, Tatanka, Holly, Rikishi, Samu, Jarrett, Martel and IRS) are still with us
