PCO is one of those guys who just kind of never stopped and everyone suddenly started questioning "Why is this former French Canadian now a Frankenstein Monster?"
So glad that Sting is getting his flowers in AEW because when he was in WWE he was treated so badly. I will forever live on this, Sting should of never lost to Triple H at Wrestlemania 31
Nah thats just differences in eras you could say the same for HHH and undertaker. Shawn was a superstar worthy of the WWF title. Then he just became HHHs bitch lol
Awesome ❤it is such a good channel ty Andy for quality videos 🎉 keep up the great work and that's the bottom line cause Stone cold Andy said so YEEEAAAAHHHHHHH😮😮
Probably the best example of career resurgences is the man who made The List on it, and was The Best In The World at doing it, an Ayatollah of revamping his career, with a Judah on his mind. Chris Jericho. You could make a whole episode of career resurgences on JUST all the times Chris Jericho along did it. From his rookie days in WCW, to his temper tantrum days and heel turn, to his early WWE days to Y2J to Ayatollah of Rock'n'Rolla, to headmaning Fozzy, to being The Highlight of the Night to being the Best In The World At What He Does to Drinking In Man, to The List of Jericho to the Judas Effect, he's always got a new gimmick to resurge his career whenever a session with his band or a stake character necessitated a reinvention, he gets it done.
Google ringmaster, then we can talk about resurgences 😂 no disrespect to Chris, I'm a big fan. I think he would agree with ringmaster being next level resurgence.
This video is more about resurgence, not gimmick changes. Both HHH and Austin continued to rise in popularity. Their popularity never died off and then reemerged.
@@AceGoodheart Austin was fired from WCW, after being a part of the Hollywood Blonds, as they didn't believe him to be a marketable star, and then went on to be one of the biggest stars in WWE history. That sounds like a resurgence to me.
@@jeffdavis8590 - Naa man I think you’re missing the point. The Hollywood blondes were never huge superstars. Once Austin was on top, he stayed there. This is about wrestlers who were really popular, then lost popularity, then regain it again later in their career.
Shawn Michaels in his second stint in the WWE during the ruthless aggression era was better than his mid 90s title runs during the new generation era and attitude era
@@kevinjackson4420 you sound like a mark last time I checked the work a wrestler put in on the indies is the reason WWE or aew or njpw wanted them in the first place
Sting (Surfer Sting slowly dying but rejuvenated career w/ Crow gimmick) Macho Man (benched by McMahon to commentary then went to WCW to become champion again). Lex Luger (failed WWE run w/ Lex Express and then went to WCW to become champion). Shawn Michaels (left WWE due to back injury and came back with better matches). Matt Hardy (popular as the Hardy Boys but his solo career was kinda bland until Broken Matt Hardy). Lol, some people in the comments don't quite understand what this video is about. It's not about gimmick changes, it's about wrestlers losing their popularity and then gaining it back.
why does everyone on youtube skip cardonas multiple titles is it a legal thing? they only mention the former titles and not the 9+ titles he legit has plus the on half of the one half of the womens tag champion.
Let's be completely honest here !!!! If sting never Stole !!!! ( Brandon Lee Crow) he would be nothing!!!! Absolutely Totally Disrespectful!!!! TRUTH HURTS
Sheamus deserves more credit for all his hard work. The same with Steve Maclin as well. Steve went from a forgotten son in nxt, to Impact wrestling world champion.
No. What is embarrassing is an ungrateful smark like you who does not respect the hard work Kofi put into his career to be given an opportunity at the wwe title. Kofi earned that run
Agreed sorta. I thought it was cool how he almost won it at Elimination Chamber. I think it would have been a cool moment if he had won it then. Sadly they had him predictably win it a few PPVs later. At no point was he a deserving World Champion, but having him win at Elimination Chamber would have been greatly unexpected and possibly a feel good moment.
Prediction: Kenny Omegas cleaner transformation WILLNOT be on here, even though it was revolutionary and yeeted him up the NJPW totem pole and brought global eyes to bullet club
Terry funk was a technical wrestler In the 80 and in the 90 he became a hardcore legend
R Truth had a first run as NWA world heavyweight champion and a second run as WWE 24/7 champion who's also a rapper. Very good runs for him indeed.
Eric Young In TNA For Me He Went From Goofball to main eventer
Ngl I like his work with odb😂
and then in NXT he became insane, then on Raw he became a 24/7 title contender 💀

FACTS
Cuz home e died and the came back to life like his wrestling career
So glad that Sting is getting his flowers in AEW because when he was in WWE he was treated so badly. I will forever live on this, Sting should of never lost to Triple H at Wrestlemania 31
Wrestlemania 31 I’m pretty sure but yea sting should of won , triple h didn’t need that win but that’s Vince’s fault
@@johnrouille5428 I meant Wrestlemania 31
@@kadharefinley224 I’ve always been a sting fan since his crow gimmick and I was pissed triple h won that match
the match was great up til DX and Nwo, and the ending, terrible.@@johnrouille5428
FACTS
Shawn Michaels is a prime example. He actually was better when he returned in 2002.
If 90’s Shawn had the same opponent’s his second run had.. there would be no question
Nah thats just differences in eras you could say the same for HHH and undertaker. Shawn was a superstar worthy of the WWF title. Then he just became HHHs bitch lol
You could definitely make that argument Shawn is my goat and I gotta say 2000s hbk was peak Shawn
Was he though?
Idk about that... 90s Shawn could wrestle his ass off. With the roster WWE had back then Shawn often made chicken salad out of chicken shit
Bob Backlund was the first straight edge superstar
Thanks for the fun fact.

you forgot HBK who had a Career Resurgences in 2002 when he returned

1st career of sting was for kids the 2nd career was for adults & he nailed both
I hope Cardona appears as a one night surprise on battle royal just to be able to hear the pop when Radio start to play
Nah he needs to return as a surprise entrant in the royal rumble.
@@cliffordjackson3 imagine him having a heel turn
@@cliffordjackson3 then being an absolute menace
@@cliffordjackson3Facts.... Haha so glad to see you are human that can comment more than facts
Sting is a pro wrestling legend in WCW and TNA wrestling
Scissor me daddy ass is one of the greatest wrestling phrases to ever be pitched
I was just looking to see what video from this channel I was gonna watch.. now I got a new one to see..👍👌💙
Awesome ❤it is such a good channel ty Andy for quality videos 🎉 keep up the great work and that's the bottom line cause Stone cold Andy said so YEEEAAAAHHHHHHH😮😮

You really should've put Mark Henry on the list of best super heavyweights. Can't deny that he's been one of the best big men ever.
Danhausen helped elevate Daddy Ass along with Castor
Matt Cardona looks like Zack Ryder.
That's because they are the same person
@@PurpleCinnamon-Land-Of-Misfits Adam Copeland looks like Edge. Really weird
@@paulcowlishaw 🙄 nice sarcasm
@@PurpleCinnamon-Land-Of-Misfits what sarcasm I'm being serious
@@paulcowlishaw Ok my bad
I was watching WWE at the perfect time to be a sheamus fan back in 2010-2011, i always liked him
The Man Called Sting 🦂👍
Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Triple H & Austin were the perfect examples of this
And The Rock of course
Kurt Angle to Perc Angle was probably the best reinvention ever.
And you can thank Scott hall for sting turning crow. Rest In Peace bad guy
Cardona best dub was baging Chelsea Green.
Sting is a living legend from the golden era, through WCW to modern present day.
Yea, but he needs to do something with that hair. He looks like crusty the clown when it gets messy.
I'm surprised that HHH and Stone Cold weren't mentioned as the both started out with very different personas.
This video is more about resurgence, not gimmick changes. Both HHH and Austin continued to rise in popularity. Their popularity never died off and then reemerged.

Anybody else notice @Cliffordjackson commemting facts dosenz of times in every video...
matt cardona better than zack Ryder matt cardona win all title belt
he is
Learn how to spell
Cardona is the Indy god
All the Indy belts that mean nothing compared to the titles in WWE AEW or NJPW which those Indy Promotions only put on him bc he was in WWE
@@kevinjackson4420 you sound like a mark last time I checked the work a wrestler put in on the indies is the reason WWE or aew or njpw wanted them in the first place
Evolution was like the mob
Sting (Surfer Sting slowly dying but rejuvenated career w/ Crow gimmick)
Macho Man (benched by McMahon to commentary then went to WCW to become champion again).
Lex Luger (failed WWE run w/ Lex Express and then went to WCW to become champion).
Shawn Michaels (left WWE due to back injury and came back with better matches).
Matt Hardy (popular as the Hardy Boys but his solo career was kinda bland until Broken Matt Hardy).
Lol, some people in the comments don't quite understand what this video is about. It's not about gimmick changes, it's about wrestlers losing their popularity and then gaining it back.
How you miss Bubba turning into Bully Ray
Triple H changed a lot as well
Isnt Sting still running around claiming he never watched The Crow?
Sting was signed up to be the third NWO member, when Hulk Hogan stole it from him at the last minute after turning it down.
Sheamus and kofi weren't away tough
Undertaker as the American Badass was just great.
Thought drew would be on this
"Hell..."
Billy Gunn's run in AEW is better than some in WWE (when he was Rockabilly, for example).
Wrestle With Andy Absolutely Never Disappoints
Undertaker to Biker
Chris Jericho should be included in this one
Pco is fucking awesome bro!! Matt cordona really has come a long way and I’m happy for him as someone who was a big fan of Zack Ryder! 💯💯💯💯
why does everyone on youtube skip cardonas multiple titles is it a legal thing? they only mention the former titles and not the 9+ titles he legit has plus the on half of the one half of the womens tag champion.
Bradshaw JBL
🤘
GCW Matt Cardona is my favorite
Woo woo woo
I hated they changed Sting from surfer to The Crow! Surfer Sting was the man!
Let's be completely honest here !!!! If sting never Stole !!!! ( Brandon Lee Crow) he would be nothing!!!!
Absolutely Totally Disrespectful!!!!
TRUTH HURTS
Wouldn't it be second for sting. Wcw, he started in uwf for the legendary Bill watts.
PCO is one of the many in the 90s WWF who had problems with HBK and the kliq.
Sheamus deserves more credit for all his hard work. The same with Steve Maclin as well. Steve went from a forgotten son in nxt, to Impact wrestling world champion.
FACTS
Sheamus is the most mid wrestler ever
@@HeelTJSheamus is the hardest working wrestler in the bloody world and deserves respect you pathetic smark!
I had no idea about PCO's past.
Why does Cardona look like a fake LA Knight
Sting was more like the singer sting before he became the crow.
King Booker was an embarrassing comedy gimmick
LA Knight shouldnhave been in here as well as Shawn Michaels and Hogan.
Steve Austin.
Talk about CM Punk coming back. Don't be scared, Andy.
My comment will go viral today
Them giving Kofi the title was just plain embarrassing
No. What is embarrassing is an ungrateful smark like you who does not respect the hard work Kofi put into his career to be given an opportunity at the wwe title. Kofi earned that run

Hall of Pain Mark Henry was a beast
Pco has never had a body comparible to scott steiner lol
I always point to the interview with Stone Cold talking about the N word incident is almost better than the incident itself.
The undertaker as well
Crow Sting really should've debuted in WWE and maybe we would've got Taker vs Sting
💪💪💪
Every time you speak about Ric Flair, you always state that his time in Evolution was the peak of his career.
Jerk.
No one was a fan of Bob Backlund. He must have had dirt on someone to be brought back a second time. Totally lame.
No Fit Finley the man returned as a full timer at the age of 48
Second time around
Surfer Sting > Crow Sting.
I think for a bit of constructive Criticism. Maybe try expanding on saying just “town name native” for every person. Feels very repetitive
Hulk Hogan to Hollywood Hogan.
Absolutely nothing can be considered a "resurgence" from teaming with cringe ass diet Street Profits and trying to get "scissor me daddy" over.
If Matt Cardona comes back….the wwe is gonna full of top guys like back in 90-91
*be full
How's Your Evening Going Wrestle With Andy
Ric Flair isn't the greatest of anything and Sting has never and could never be the face of all of professional wrestling.
What no HBK?
Bob's second run what a joke 😂
Stop saying hell
Roman didn't make the cut?
I am lucky enough to have a signed wcw big golden belt, signed by the nature boy himself!!
I hated the King Booker gimmick, Always felt like it was a punishment to Booker T
