One good thing about Drew's 3MB run is that he accidentally did the Claymore Kick for the first time.
Yep😂😅
3MB basically gave them a chance into doing comedy
i mean drew kinda enjoy it
Just seeing their old gimmicks and personas is such a far cry to where they are now. What a difference just a few years can do.
Yeah
Apollo's Nigerian gimmick wasn't that bad, it was an improvement over before when all he did was smile
I'm really glad you mentioned Cole because man, his work in recent years ever since he's been allowed to let loose and actually call matches like, you know, a pro wrestling commentator, really shows just how much Vince McMahon cramped his style, which in turn caused him to be hated by large portions of the fans for most of his carreer for what it turns out wasn't his fault. I'm sure it must have paid well or else he would have left years ago but man, it must have been miserable at times to be puppetted by the wretched old pervert all the time.
He's also literally lost his hearing too, 65%!!! He has to wear these special hearing aids under his headset so he can hear
Honourable mention: Becky Lynch. From Highland Jig Dancer to The Irish Lass Kicker and Finally to The Man.
2/3 3MB members have been world champions.
Heath is a free agent getting jacked for his return.
Thus 3MB is actually an incredible gimmick.
Heath return with a new, serious gimmick is something I never thought I wanted so bad
Heath is 100% coming back and fulfilling the 3MB prophecy.
@@gu1tarh3ro13 he probably in 40s now so not going to happen in wwe
Those Shorty G shirts 😂
When I look at some of these gimmicks with fresh eyes, all clustered together around the same time in 2020/2021, it really does feel like some New Generation level stuff compared to what we have now
Drew came back looking like a different person in general 😮😳
Ah yes, paying £100+ to go see WWE in the front row and having the fucking Cole Mine set up in front of you so you could only see the screens and the occasional glimpse of a wrestler if they happened to climb the nearest cornerpost. What a fun night that was. Totally worth the money.
Shout out to Luke Gallows who went to one of my hometown’s highschools. Also to LA Knight who grew up about an hour away from my hometown, they’re both doing us crab people proud 🥲 🦀
Didn't kno that about Gallows
Just want to put something out there about Michael Cole. It's almost sad that a real-life event (that being Jerry Lawler's heart attack on-air) turned him face. While yes, a sad moment for Cole and WWE, what would've happened had Lawler not had the heart attack. Would he still be a heel today or not? Also, I absolutely love his commentary with Pat McAfee, those two are so great!
it's easy to forget just what an intense transformation Drew made until you see current day him and 3MB him side by side 😳
Yeah look like 2 different person completely
The Loan Wolf Baron Corbin
What about it?
Man if they didn't force Apollo to do that accent I think that gimmick could've worked.
All Drew needed was some thick beard 😂
It sounds daft but the only reason I cared much for Retribution was because it had Dio Maddin in the stable, loved watching him during his time in ROW especially when I first saw him in Two Best Friends Play.
"I hope he doesn't bring up that Corbin beat Angle wearing- Ah."
Giving someone a gimmick of "you're short, lol!" is especially dumb in pro wrestling of all things. THat's right! You have a low centre of gravity which is actually a great thing for wrestling! You must be so embarassed!
I gotta say I liked the Stardust gimmick and even if Cody hated it, he still gave it all he had. plus it gave us one of the best Celebrity matches with Stephen Amell
Renaissance Era > Paul Levesque Era
I dont care how many times they try to make it a trending copywright, its a terrible name and I prefer the original fan label.
Honorable mention: Alexa Bliss from pixie cheerleader to goddess to spooky.
Her mean girl personal was much better than her Supernatural gimmick tho.
i liked broke corbin
3MB was such fun! I do miss Heath Slater
Stardust wasn't terrible. Cody not being happy with a midcard act that would never see the main event scene isn't the same as it being terrible.
Stardust was a horrible character on purpose. Cody made the best of it but Stardust was a “Vince fucking hates me” gimmick
Stardust was fun, I liked it, can understand why it depressed him, 'Stardust' isn't going to sell out arenas one day
What they did to Natalia still pisses me off! Same with Baron Corbin! I LOVED the lone wolf!
5:11
Tag team brings out the Lone Wolf in him.
Kind of strange to say if he wasn't Lone
In case you don't know, at 9:04 one of these guards was Trick Williams before his superstardom.
Apollo Crews as a Nigerian Prince could actually work in NXT 2.0, especially if you pair him with Oba Femi. I also think Southern Bell Lacey Evans would've been better in NXT 2.0 as well, especially if she feuded with Fallon Henley like Tiffany Stratton did.
10:09 is 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Cosmic Wasteland
I miss Heath Slater 😢
great compilation !
I kinda disagree about Cody. I actually really liked his "Dashing" era, and he honestly did really well with the Stardust gimmick too.
I actually liked Apolo Crews' Nigerian gimmick. It wasnt that bad lol.
Lists like these remind us that Vince was a great promoter, but for booking and creative her really just threw any and every thing at the wall to see what would stick...
3mb Drew is a complete 180 from what he is now. It’s actually hard to believe that they are the same person. The look, size, character is completely different
Shorty G was a fucking crime
I honestly love that Michael Cole is finally being treated with respect. I honestly didnt like the way he announced, but since that was Vince, I feel bad for ever disliking him.
Natalya gets too much respect, there has never been a veteran on the roster who’s done less. Not one memorable gimmick, silent reactions heel or face, forgettable title reigns. When Bret returned in 2010 im convinced part of the deal was wwe could never fire natalya or she would’ve been released over 10 years ago. Her “putting over” talent doesn’t even have an impact as beating someone who’s done nothing for around 15 years doesn’t look like an achievement
Jesse and Festus were the original Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen 😂
do top 10 Wrestling alcoholics.
Number 2 would be JBL and 1 would be Jeff Hardy
@@LandontheHedgehog 🤣
@@LandontheHedgehog Let's not forget Hawk and Razor RIP
From Wrestlemania 34 tag team champion - Piesanos manager: Nicholas Dickhead.
Drew in the thumbnail looking like a third Young Buck lol.
The fact that LA Knight got stuck on smackdown with Cody as the De Facto Babyface WWE Champ sucks… he’s literally stuck in the mid card now….
I'm surprised the Festus gimmick lasted so long because as Luke Gallows.. he's really taken off.
The Stardust gimmick was naff definitely but the thing song Cody used during that gimmick was awesome
It takes a small and ridiculous part to go big one day.
I've always felt bad for Natty because i always remember her for that gimmick first and she dererves to be remembered for alot more
To be honest the Nigerian gimmick was the reason i cared about apollo crews
3mb should be the ones that finally take down the blood line
Remember when Drew broke Charlie Haas his neck
I'm surprised that Becky Lynch's Lass Kicker gimmick wasn't included.
Becky was an awesome underdog babyface as the Lass kicker. She had that gimmick when she won the first Smackdown title and was super over. Are you thinking of the river dance gimmick on NXT?
@@southnewton1 I believe so. I kind of thought those were the same.
9:04 WTF? Trick Williams?
thanks!
Wow, Shorty G
Vince was, and is, truly loco.
2012 Drew McIntyre is Bondage McIntyre
Thumbnail reminds me of Paul Burchill. Wasted talent. As well as Katie Lea Burchill. So fine. Wasted talent for both.
Ive got deja vu sure i seen this a few weeks ago
Festus was actually good lol
I don't get the hatred for Stardust. I honestly feel people only say it was bad because Cody himself has repeatedly made fun of it. It sure as shit was way better than "Dashing" Cody Rhodes or "Our dads are famous" with Ted DiBiase Jr, that's for sure.
Hankinson is awesome!
2014 drew McIntyre released by WWE
2024 the rock him self told the fans that he resigned and got him a gift
The man worked so hard to be where he is today and somehow his doing his Best work now and one of the best heels in Long time
This really highlights what a talentless hack Vince McMahon was for pretty much his entire career.
Apollo Crews should just get released by now if they haven't already ngl. They don't use him no more and he could be beneficial somewhere else
Honestly, Natalya is criminally underrated.
I actually liked Festus
It took Vince McMahon a decade to finally let the World's strongest man use it as his gimmick instead of being a sex fiend or black panther. If that doesnt prove his racism, nothing will.
The Rock could have been in this as well.
I wish Jesse and Festus won tag titles
It's a shame those gimmick changes haven't advanced any of their careers in terms of being champions at all. Also Michael Cole will always be a hack that gets way more credit than he deserves.
What? Drew became 3 time world champion and is feuding with cm punk, Cody beat roman reigns in the main event of WrestleMania. Chad gable will probably get the ic title soon before pursuing the world title. I can go on.
Also Michael Cole is great now. He earned the credit he gets. Also one of the hardest working people in this company. Hardly any off days
@@shachardahan1081 Drew isn't champion now and he's only feuding with Punk to keep him away from the title. I missed where Cody was listed. The rest still haven't won anything. Cole still botches half of his calls. Vince never caused him to do that.
@@shachardahan1081People don't just win a secondary title for the first time and then follow it up with a world title unless they're stone cold Steve Austin. You people massively overpraise your favourites.
I will not have this Festus slander. It was an amazing gimmick. I love it, I miss it and I hope they do something similar with someone else. Hell, I remember the WWE game he appeared in even had the detail of having him wake up as the bell rang at the start of the match.
Natty is awesome. Shes a really nice person to.
Stardust is the best version of Cody.
Roman Reigns should be on this tbh
Nah even though his gimmick wasn't good he was main eventer as face while all those guys mentioned here are potentially jobber in their old gimmick
I liked Corbins gimmicks.
Thank god for Cultaholic. After Simon Millers mistimed rant about antisemitism, and showing himself to be a genocide supporter, I could no longer watch that other channel without being left with a bad taste in my mouth. THANK YOU Cultaholic for the amazing content.
Whatcha on about
What has politics have to do with that
I've tried to find this and all I can find is Simon calling out antisemitism, and the experiences he's had. Nothing about Israel, nothing about Palestine.
Can you direct me to where this was?
You do know that Simon is Jewish, right?
Only 10?
I was the 700th up 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Becky Lynch didnt even start out with a gimmick. She was just a girl from Ireland that dressed weird.
Natalya is the definition of a nepo baby
That accent had me thinking you said "Cuntstable Corbin"
Wow Dijak
Ohhh, I just KNOW Cody's gonna be no.1.
Go WWE!
I loved the Bum Corbin. They could have done so much funny stuff with that
❤ I love it
🥸🤌🏻
Dijak is the goat
That Nattie gimmick sure seems like a hazing thing. That or sure turned someone down 🤷♂️
Yea this has never been talked about in detail but it was revealed that Vince came up with this idk if it was a punishment but for what she and Beth were on top of the division at the time and she and Tj were together before she even came to wwe so they knew she was taken idk what his motivation was
Settle down, angle is in every way better than gable!
How dare you slander 3MB? They were great and its the only credible thing Jinder did.
Thank For the Top 10 Video 🧾🙊🤯🤼♂️💐🌟🥇🏆😇🙏🏿🕊️✝️💟☮️🤗👍🤍🌟🥇🏆
