It seemed like forever that anything on wresting made me laugh. Then this aired & I couldn't stop laughing during the whole entire segment. It's right up there with The Rock talking smack & Golddust tourettes angle lol
I think these days, a star that could have really benifited from his own talk show was Tyler Breeze, the beauty parlor, or something like that to really get his character over, but like...they didn't even try anything with ol' Breezy.
Apparently, Jericho originally pitched the highlight reel as an improv segment to throw some up and comers in front of a live audience and see if they could hang. WWE could do with a segment like this in the modern day.
In my mind the dirt sheet is the best show of the last 10-15 years. Miz and Morrison were a perfect match and they both have great senses of humor. If johnny impact ever comes back these 2 will have to reunite.

Here are a few others: 1. The King's Court (Jerry Lawler) 2. Snake Pit (Jake Roberts) 3. Miz TV (The Miz) 4. A Flair for the Gold (Ric Flair) Yes that's WCW but they're owned by WWE and so I wanted to include it. Besides it gave us the memorable debut of the Shockmaster. LOL 😆
Don’t forget undertaker tombstoning Vickie Guerrero, the unveiling of the rated R title, Edge interviewing the anonymous GM laptop and of course the unforgettable live sex celebration which boosted the raw ratings and gave birth to the ‘rated R superstar’ character
ahhhhhhh, talking smack, the time the rest of the world finally saw what i saw in the miz, that he was awesome. To bad he never got a world title run out of his momentum he built up though.
I remember watching the coconut incident on one of those old WWE DVDs, and Santino Marella was being interviewed about it, and he mentioned a time where he saw the segment live and got in trouble for trying to smash a coconut on his brother’s head
The funeral parlor Flair/Hogan moment was my favorite as a kid without realizing how huge of a deal it was (I only started watching wrestling in Sept of 91 and didnt know Flairs legacy). Its still my favorite wrestling moment in history.
Before watching, if the Funeral Parlour isn't there, I riot. EDIT: Thankfully it was but should have been higher imo. Great list, btw. We all knew what was going to be number 1, and rightfully so.
Man, just hearing about "Piper's Pitts" gets me depressed! Roddy Piper was just one of those special, one of a kind, unduplicatable (No matter how hard or how many people have tried!) personalities that just stands out and is simply unforgettable. When I first heard about him passing, I honestly couldn't believe it...I always thought he'd be one of those wrestlers like Ric Flair (70) or Terry Funk (He's 75 now! I can't believe he still wrestles albeit rarely!!) that someway despite all the odds seem to survive everything and keep on ticking. I would've loved to met him and listen to some of his stories, he always seemed like a great guy to hang out with. . I swear, even if he just made debut now in today's wrestling scene he still would've been as big of star as he was back in the day! That's something not a lot of wrestlers could say, since a lot (not all) of them were just lucky to be in the right place, at the right time rather than being successful because of their talent or ability. He just had that special something that so many people have try so hard to obtain but always fall short of.
@@LukeLeonettiTH-cam And then the crazy son of a bitch outdoes himself and turns his leg into goddamn play-doh. And that's why he kicked his leg out of his leg.
Piper's Pit will ALWAYS be number one for me!, but the Miz has improved so much over the years! and wow does he ever have the crazy......... blue eyes!
No Cafe de Rene? Shameful! Joking aside, you mentioned Jericho throwing Michael's through the screen was a callback to when Michaels did a similar act to Jennety, but you forgot Jericho would be on the receiving end 9 years later when Kevin Owens ended JeriKO shortly before Fastlane 2017
I don't believe Talking Smack should be on this list bc in 10yrs, only a few ppl will remember it. They'll probably remember The Miz's promo but will have no clue what show it happened on.
Whenever I think of The Dirt Sheet, all I can think of is the segment when Miz and Morrison tore into Cryme Tyme; Morrison: And I've met your Dad Shad. He wears a sweater vest. Miz: Nerds!
When Warrior was on The Parlor, that was shot in Las Vegas Nevada and I was in the stands, later that night in between TV tapings we got a 3 on 2 handicap match with Warrior and Hogan vs Mustafa(Iron Shiek) Gen Adnan and Undertaker.
I remeber the ultimate warrior being trapped in the casket like it was yesterday. My brother remembers the barbershop in the same way. He loved the rockers when he was little and Shawn Michaels is still his fave wrestler.
I was going to riot if Piper's Pit wasn't #1. Everything you said, Brian, should be everyone's shared opinion, whether the Pit was #1 in their minds or not.
Talking Smack will always be special to me because my tweet and Twitter handle was featured on an episode of it! It's still on the network as it's part of Alexa Bliss' collection. It's pretty cool to know that it will be preserved forever in some small way.
It's such a damn shame that the only two Grand eras in the WWE that Piper's Pit had never made it's transition to were the New Generation Era the Attitude Era. I mean wouldn't it be grand if the late Great Roddy Piper had done this with all the others like Triple H, with DX, Stephanie, Chyna, and others, like The Undertaker, Mick Foley, Chris Jericho, The Rock, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Edge, William Regal, Christian, Lita, Trish Stratus, Kane, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall etc. I mean sure, he did one with one Attitude Era Vet in Stone Cold Steve Austin, but it would be that amazing though if only Piper had lived and brought back that segment in those days man.
Piper’s Pit = least surprising #1 entry reveal of all time on this channel lol. Seriously though, fantastic idea for a Top 8 list, and all solid choices. If it were a Top 10, I’d have to shoehorn Carlito’s Cabana in there at #9 or #10. As a fan who watched Smackdown exclusively for almost the entire Ruthless Aggression Era (we couldn’t afford cable), I’ll admit that it was no Highlight Reel, but it was cool to have our own equivalent. I’ll never forget MNM’s debut and Big Show’s death via poison apple.
Great video - I learned about a few talk show segments I hadn't known about! Still looking forward to the "X craziest Jerry Lawler ideas" video you teased a while back...
Best set designs were The Flower Shop with Adrian Adonis and The Snake Pit with Jake, best host with the most shit that went down has to be Piper, he even interviewed a jobber and it was gold. You can find Missy’s Manor on TH-cam, and it’s horrible, but it’s got Missy in her prime, in some very nice outfits, so it’s worth a watch.
I was so upset when the warrior was stuck in the coffin as a kid my mom had to smarten me up to calm me down, I think I was even more upset when she told me it was fake
Finally my dreams have been realized, Wrestling with Wregret, my favorite TH-cam talk show doing a video about wwe’s top 8 talk show. That’s talk showception right their.
@Monkeyman58: I honestly don't know, and it's bugging me. I always assumed that talk shows were called that because of the interviews; you know, the people talking. But I suppose by strictest definition, just one guy monologueing to a camera is technically a talk...show. This sort of thing is where my need to compartmentalize things in my head gets me in trouble. 😂
@Monkeyman58: So that would then make WWW your favorite TH-cam talkshow that's not a talkshow doing a video about WWE's top 8 talkshows. Somehow, that's better and worse at the same time.

I mean Breezy did get the Fashion Files...which is close but you’re right.

There is no doubt that Piper's Pit was the quintessential talk show format for the WWE. Often imitated, never duplicated.
Carlito’s Cabana, Miz TV and the Cutting Edge were worth the honorable mentions at least, but Piper’s Pit and Highlight Reel were damn too good.
I dunno about you guys, but I for one would gladly eat at "PASTA! IS! JERICHO!"
Would be a hell of a lot better than hulk Hogan's dribble.
I knew that Piper's Pit would be the number 1 talk show.
RIP Roddy. We'll miss you
Piper's pit #1 hands down

I'm kinda shocked MIZ TV isn't on here, but there's only so much room on the list.
MizTV has never done anything memorable. The Cabana was much better.
Next you'll be campaigning for A Moment Of Bliss
A Flair for the gold was awesome in WCW
It did give us the shockmaster after all.
I wonder if he will put it on "worst talk shows" solely because of the shockmaster incident
@David Rosales Only if I get to hear Danny boy and sid cracking up!
Apparently, Jericho originally pitched the highlight reel as an improv segment to throw some up and comers in front of a live audience and see if they could hang.
WWE could do with a segment like this in the modern day.
The new talent can barely even hold a mic...
Then we'd get another dana brooke moment
Mike Berkman Velveteen, Breeze, Wyatt, New Day, Joe, Owens. All very solid if not great mic workers
The King's Court as an honorable mention
Definitely yes
Cutting Edge Miz TV
5:25 correction. Jannetty tried to dive through the window to escape.
The Heartbreak Hotel by Shawn Micheals or the Snake Pit by Jake Roberts
Would Fashion Files be considered for talk show?
In my mind the dirt sheet is the best show of the last 10-15 years. Miz and Morrison were a perfect match and they both have great senses of humor. If johnny impact ever comes back these 2 will have to reunite.

Top 3
(3) 11:39, *The Brother Love Show*
(2) 14:06 _The Highlight Reel_
(1) 16:03 *_Piper’s Pit_*
As much as I love Jericho and enjoyed the Highlight Reel, there is no question in my mind that Brother Love belonged at #2 there.
The first thing I remembered was Roddy Piper smashing a coconut over Snuka's head.
Shoulda hit Jimmy harder. He deserved worse!
The original Legend Killer- Roddy Piper.
Here are a few others:
1. The King's Court (Jerry Lawler)
2. Snake Pit (Jake Roberts)
3. Miz TV (The Miz)
4. A Flair for the Gold (Ric Flair) Yes that's WCW but they're owned by WWE and so I wanted to include it. Besides it gave us the memorable debut of the Shockmaster. LOL 😆

Nothing major happend on it.

Michael Mearney the “I hate you” promo. Which was edges best promo of his career
No love for Miz TV either. :(
the energy alone that Miz brings to MizTV is worth a mention
Awesome work as always Zane. Long live Wrestling with Wregret.
The funeral parlour has my favourite moment of my wrestling childhood. "Who's side are you on?" "NOT. YOOOOOUUURRRRSSS.
The Peep show should have been on the list
And Cutting Edge
Brian should have included footage of Piper pouring Listerine down Jimmy Hart's throat. Classic.
Was there any doubt that Piper’s Pit is #1?
ahhhhhhh, talking smack, the time the rest of the world finally saw what i saw in the miz, that he was awesome. To bad he never got a world title run out of his momentum he built up though.
