Between this and his comment of “you know when I have a great dinner and I don’t fancy a sweet dessert, I go into Bri Mode” Sully just has unmatched comedic timing
I love every time Sullivan is on something Wrestletalk related, because I always end up laughing harder at him than I have to anything else that week. :) Fantastic vid guys, and yea - the reaction to the Monster's Ball match was incredible.
It's not going to be here, but one of my favourite stipulations atm is the Iron Survivor Challenge; only 4 matches with that stipulation and they're all bangers! Up the NXT! Edit: never mind, Luke had it and that's why he's the best
Coming from someone who was at the first one live... it SUCKED. You had no clue what to follow in the ring. A good portion of the audience, myself included, didn't even see Hogan get pulled UNDER the ropes so we thought we had missed the elimination and he was just a sore loser like in 92. That entire PPV was a tragedy to watch live. If people don't remember, this was during Hogan's tease of a darker character wearing all black and there was a promo segment where he was supposed to remove the black and go back to yellow and red.... problem was no one could hear a word he said because the audio wasn't going out to the crowd so we didn't cheer and it was just crickets.
I think my first iron man match was Angle/Lesnar, so I have a very positive association with them. I really love the psychology of using submissions in iron man matches. The choice between struggling to try to break the submission, but risk being injured throughout the rest of the match, versus immediately tapping, giving up a fall, but preserving yourself can create great storytelling.
One of my favorite shows of all time was Lucha Underground and they had so many awesome match stips. Most of them were riffs on classics but had so much flair. Grave Consequences is a casket match where the opponent actually "dies," Hell of War was 3 stages of hell on steroids, and Aztec Warfare is my favorite ever riff on the Royal Rumble. Also it had the funniest stipulation of all time: The Believers Backlash. A lumberjack match where the crowd was the lumberjacks with weapons, and everyone hated Hernandez so much that the whole crowd just kind of beat the hell out of him 😂
Yes! I was shocked at the lack of Lucha Underground stipulations. Grave Consequences is the best coffin match stipulation and had the absolute best coffin matches. Believer's Backlash was insanely entertaining and I loved old school lumber jack matches. Controversial but here's my take: Aztec Warfare>Royal Rumble
@MegaBroski12 explaining that to Sullivan might have broke the whole episode "See Sullivan there is a Panel of cage on one side and chains are hung with weapons"
Maaaan was number 8 hilarious. Sully was dying hearing the description of peak TNA EDIT: okay seeing as it kept going, I propose a series where Luke takes people through the various gimmick matches TNA invented throughout the years. Or just Sully, that would do wonders 😂 EDIT: Again…Sully is the best. THIS ONE HAS CUPBOARDS IN THE MATCH. I’m so dead 🤣
One of my favorite things about TLC is how it's invention felt so organic. Having the three teams, each with their specialty object, going head to head in a match meant to show off all of their strengths was such a good and cool idea (even if it is just essentially a ladder match with more weapons) and then it translated so well into a match others could do and put their own spins on it.
9:43 I can name every monster's ball match that had took place in tna in reverse chronological order. They are that good. I remember each and every one of them.
9:43 monster's ball matches are great. They should see trey miguel vs crazzy steve, bram vs abyss, matt hardy vs abyss or the most recent one pco vs kon to see how good monster's ball matches are. It's one of my favourite stipulation too.
My list, for those who might care. 10. Hell in a Cell 9. No DQ (and any other way to call it) 8. Barbed wire (of any kind) 7. Submission 6. Last Man Standing 5. Royal Rumble 4. Monsters Ball (I too am a 2000s TNA nerd) 3. Lethal Lockdown (see previous entry) 2. War Games (thanks to my talk with Paul Ellering) 1. TLC (TLC 2 got me into wrestling) Also, I think instead of I Quit it should be submit or surrender
My all-time favorite Iron Survivor moment was 2022 with Grayson Waller entering, immediately hitting his finish on both Axiom and JD McDonaugh and pinning them both, racing into the lead.
I suggested this back on the best finishers video, so I'm taking credit whether you saw my comment or not! Great video as always and fingers crossed for a worst match stipulations video to come!
The look of disbelief on Pete's face after Luke called him an e-drone was hilarious. A laugh out loud moment on my lunch break. People looked at me like I was crazy.
I did this myself as a thought exercise and wound up putting 2-out-of-3 falls in third place. maybe that paints me as boring, but I have a thing for stipulations that add more of a real sports feel instead of plunder and gimmicks, and while I also love iron man matches, I think 2-out-of-3 falls strikes a great balance between those and a regular match. plus, I mean. okada-omega IV. that's a pretty big point in their favor.
these TLC videos are legit the best. You guys look like youre having so much fun! These always get me laughing right along with you. Cant wait for the worst stips video
I thought Luke was joking when he was saying they were locked in cupboards without food or water. Then I just watched a review of the first Monster's ball match and that was literally the gimmick. Good thing they scrapped that concept of the gimmick for later iterations. I saw one at a TNA house show in 2006. There was a Monster's Ball match between Rhino and Abyss. I was sitting front row next to 2 guys. One was an avid TNA guy and the other hadn't even heard of TNA. I'm pretty sure he was asked "you wanna go see TNA" and thought his friend was taking him to a strip club. Anyhow the entire match is pretty much this one guy trying to explain a Monsters Ball match to the other. "It looks just like a Hardcore match. Are they going to be dancing at the ball?" Then cue midway through the match both men are on the floor not even 3 feet from us both looking under the ring in the same spot for some reason and we can audibly hear them talking to each other "ok, so you grab that cane and I'm gonna grab the table, don't forget to hit me soon as we stand up" and cue the non-TNA guy next to me "HEY GUYS, DON'T FORGET TO LOOK FOR YOUR DRESSES FOR THE BALL. YOU'LL BE SO PRETTY" and you can see Abyss and Rhino trying not to laugh.
Triple H winning the 3 stages of hell made sense in the storyline especially 2-0 as it brought up Austin's self doubt that would lead him to siding with the Devil himself at Mania and the "I need to beat you Rock" interview.
Texas Death has quickly rocketed up my list of things that make me excited for a feud. Casino gauntlet match has the potential to be a top 5 for me because we're 2 for 2 of being so much fun to watch.
now i just want a video where luke describes a seemingly random/weird stipulation, and the other guys need to guess whether this actually was a tna match or not (bonus points if they can come up with the correct name)
24:15 I was at the first AITA, and I vividly remember seeing a flashlight out of the corner of my eye during the following match, so I looked, and two arena workers were scrubbing blood off a wall. Plus Wild Thing playing the entire time was so much fun.
My fantasy match stip: 6-way elimination ladder match, where you have 5 contracts hanging above the ring, and the last one without the contract loses their job. I actually think this was already done, but I want it again with real stakes.
Hardcore match is just a falls count anywhere match which is different than no DQ/ Extreme Rules/ Street Fight/ No Holds Barred etc matches where the win has to happen in the ring.
Forget Worst Match Ever season 2… Give us a series with Luke and Sullivan where Luke shows him the “best” of TNA and Sully loses his mind with what he sees.
This might be a hot take, but the firefly fun house match was a top 10 match stipulation. I know it's arguably not a "wrestling match", but it was probably the most unique and insanely well choreographed match of all. It was one of the best ways to take advantage of the no audience pandemic era wrestling.
My personal list: 10. Hell in a Cell 9. Ultimate X 8. Falls Count Anywhere 7. 30 Minute Ultimate Submission Challenge 6. Three Stages of Hell 5. Submission Match 4. Steel Cage 3. No Disqualification 2. Ladder Match 1. Royal Rumble
I expect the worst stipulations soon, although certain match stipulation need some fine tuning. Take Hair vs Hair for example, they have a match then a chase to cut the losers hair who almost cuts the winners hair. What they should do is treat it like an ambulance match where they have to lock the person in the chair similar to the chair in the WM Holly v Victoria match.
1. Royal Rumble(always something to love) 2. MITB(The first handful were great additions to Mania, favorite storyline mechanic when used right) 3. Survivor Series(I love elimination matches and I love tag matches. Plus sole survivor storylines are always great) 4. Triple Threat(WWE does these so well, sometimes it’s 2 in the ring and one guy resting but when all 3 mix it up it’s great) 5. Champ vs Champ(Winner takes all champ vs champ matches always have hype behind them) 6. Elimination Chamber(not always great these days but so fire back in the day) 7. HIAC(so many iconic moments in real life and in the video games for me) 8. Extreme Rules(a lot of variations, can be great hard hitting matches) 9. Submission(Over submissions against each other is a fire concept) 10. Steel Cage(not as cool as a good HIAC match but love elevated diving spots.
TNA for some of the 00's was amazing! Ultimate X and just the X and even The Knockouts division was amazing back then! Some of my happiest wrestling memories are from back in TNA during the 00's
Every party needs a pooper and thats why sullivan was brought onto the episode where Luke talked alot about his love of mid 2000s TNA related things. 😂
I love how WCW had a Savage Vs DDP match that was billed as 'lights out' but it was announced by Michael Buffer. I also really like the idea of an empty arena match. The notion that the match is going to be so violent that they can't let the fans be in the building when they do it.
I feel like Cody be Seth was the last Hell in a Cell? And the one before that I remember was Seth vs Edge at Crown Jewell which was also great. Then Roman vs Jey wasn’t long before that which was also great.
I grew up watching TNA more often than WWE in the 2000s, so it’s always amusing to me when Luke picks some weird TNA stipulation and my reaction is like “oh yeah, sure” and I remember not everyone is acclimated to the TNA-ness of some of their stuff lol
Here I go:- 10. Street Fight (when the wrestlers are actually wearing street clothes) 9. Hell In A Cell 8. Unsanctioned/Lights Out Match 7. Elimination Chamber Match 6. Iron Man Match 5. Three Stages Of Hell 4. Grave Consequences Match (shoutout to Lucha Underground) 3. WOAH GAYMES!! 2. Ladder Match (includes MITB and TLC) 1. Royal Rumble 0. Aztec Warfare (yes it's just Royal Rumble with pins but still, if you wanna improve on a classic formula, this is how you do it)
"THIS ONE HAD CUPBOARDS IN THE MATCH!" Is possibly the greatest line is TLC history.
Oh that broke me so hard 😂
Agreed that was amazing.
My stomach hurts I’ve been laughing for an hour straight. I go into these with a try not to laugh mindset and fail every single time
Between this and his comment of “you know when I have a great dinner and I don’t fancy a sweet dessert, I go into Bri Mode” Sully just has unmatched comedic timing
The way that Pete laughed killed me

Sullivan would probably love World War Three. Three rings!

Watching Royal Rumble matches on TH-cam was what got me interested in watching wrestling a few years back.
the casino gauntlet match is creeping its way into being one of my favorite match types, and we’ve only had two
hoping it always includes Osprey everytime & he wins as he’s been the best thing & won both so far
Yeah, Luke was saying that if they filmed this vid after the match a couple weeks ago it probably would have been added.
Those matches have quickly become one of my favorite stips!!!

If the Royal Rumble isn’t 1 on Pete and Sullivan’s list then this whole video is rigged.
Luke is obviously picking king of the mountain 😂
Nah steel asylum all the way 😂

Reverse Battle Royal. So much easier to create a famous iron man run. "Dude, Consequences Creed spent a whole 3.8475 minutes outside the ring!"
Videos like this are great bc so much about wrestling has been discussed already, so refreshing hearing some topics that are off the beaten path

Writing this a few days after Bad Blood 2024. If Punks vs Drew is how Triple H is going to be doing Hell in a Cell then Sullivan was correct.
Pete's quote about the Rumble and how it's a time capsule is so true. When I watch them back that's exactly how I feel.
Triple H winning the 3 stages of hell made sense in the storyline especially 2-0 as it brought up Austin's self doubt that would lead him to siding with the Devil himself at Mania and the "I need to beat you Rock" interview.

5. Champ vs Champ(Winner takes all champ vs champ matches always have hype behind them)
6. Elimination Chamber(not always great these days but so fire back in the day)
7. HIAC(so many iconic moments in real life and in the video games for me)
8. Extreme Rules(a lot of variations, can be great hard hitting matches)

Disappointed that Luke didn’t have the clockwork house of fun in his list as it was raven’s signature match in tna
Every party needs a pooper and thats why sullivan was brought onto the episode where Luke talked alot about his love of mid 2000s TNA related things. 😂
Would love to see best promo/video packages as a future topic. Personally I love the mania 26 shawn vs taker one.
Except for that one Ultimate X where the X fell down, and nobody knew what to do.
I love how WCW had a Savage Vs DDP match that was billed as 'lights out' but it was announced by Michael Buffer.
I also really like the idea of an empty arena match. The notion that the match is going to be so violent that they can't let the fans be in the building when they do it.
I feel like Cody be Seth was the last Hell in a Cell? And the one before that I remember was Seth vs Edge at Crown Jewell which was also great. Then Roman vs Jey wasn’t long before that which was also great.
Easiest number one pick ever. Nothing beats the Rumble stipulation, and even when it is below expectations it's still pretty enjoyable.
Surprised Pete didn’t bring up in his ‘guy with submission vs guy without submission’ is how we got John Cena’s Shut The F*** Up finisher 🤣
