Stevie is super charismatic in every video I see him in. This mans passion is so admirable
Mick Foley told a great story about his match with Orton at Backlash 2004, and Mick said that for the Thumbtack spot with him countering the RKO and throwing Orton onto the Thumbtacks, that it was Orton’s idea.
And Foley said as soon as Orton hit his back on the Tumbtacks, Orton said to him “that was a bad idea”.
ESPECIALLY since he was shirtless! For all we know, Mick had multiple layers of clothing.
Stevie, I could listen to you talk about wrasslin' every day for the rest of my life and enjoy it
Factual.
You might be doing that now.
@G33kCulture God I hope so
Thank you for bringing up the possible chemicals found inside light bulb tubes. Dust and respiratory dangers are often overlooked in regards to worker safety.
Yeah that one looks to be arguably the most dangerous of them all because you can get cut up by the shots and all those chemicals can get into your body that way. Plus like you said you could accidentally breathe all that stuff in. I'm never taking a shot like that voluntarily.
So glad all these retired wrestlers are doing TH-cam/Podcasts.... Such cool stories and insights from different prospectives
Man I love listening to Stevie talk about the ins and outs of wrestling.
Stevie has the best wrestling podcast on TH-cam
Cornette still has my top but I'd say stevie is second, considering he's not done this for long that's a huge compliment
Undertaker by far
Agreed
Maven!
@@petebagwell6666you have to be kidding me.... he is as out of touch as vince
"Have you ever been hit with a TV camera?"
Only in wrestling can somebody be asked a question like that and nobody bursts out laughing.
The wrestling world didn't know it needed Maven and Stevie to have podcast.
“You gotta be careful with trash cans”
As legendary pro wrestler The Trashman found out the hard way
😂😂 rickety cricket got what was coming to him
@@d.52555 Did I get ya?
@@MichaelSmith-fq6hzit must’ve had an edge! 😂😂
I knew this shit wasn't fake.
You guys are crushing it!!! Fascinating and fun topics / discussions every week so far! 🙏
I just was watching that Raven/Rhyno match from Backlash 01 a few days ago. The gore into the shopping kart was crazy, I’m sure he was scraped but he could have knocked himself loopy going through the lifting part of the kart, then possibly again if he hit the front of the kart into the buckle. Crazy spot!
That's one hell of an underrated match. They must have gone over that particular spot a thousand times to make sure they got it right.
I always thought Mick Foley’s steel steps bump was gnarly. Dude would just haul ass at em and go flying.
Hip toss the legs onto the stairs was always sick
Not the subject of the video, but it doesn't get said enough. Stevie's performance as Steven Richards, Head of the Right-to-Censor, was so outstanding. By far, my favorite version of him. He displayed incredible charisma in that role while playing this character who despised charismatic things. I know the RTC was originally created to mock the Parents Television Council, but WWE should have continued the RTC story even after WWE-PTC settlement and evolved it beyond its original inspiration. Even after the rest of the group inevitably turned on SR & returned to their former lives, that character still had so much more potential to explore & expand upon, largely due to Richards' awesome portayal.
Absolutely agree.
I absolutely hated Stevie when he was in RTC, not him personally but the villain he played. When you get the majority of fans to hate you you know you've done well as a heel.
Right 2 Censor was absolute trash
@@Bert_Bertssonfans hated right to censor solely because they had the godfather playing the goodfather smh
The group sucked, yes, but He could've stayed out on his own as Mr. Steven Richards. Kept serving as the voice of fairness & decency that wrestling fans require. Constantly run down the fans and their endless desire for violence, foul language, and cheap tactics. Do a random attack on a face wrestler now-and-then, so he can have a powerpoint presentation video package the next show that cites the "unacceptable" things the face said or did to become his target and shame the fans for their role in encouraging his despicable actions. The endless barrage of trolling they could have done with him; he portrayed that kind of guy so well. The entrance, though. I doubt it would mix too well with my epilepsy.
Stevie no sold the finishers list but protected the weapons list
Haha 100% spot on
Lol
I'm sure JBL won't forget Stevie's infamous chair shot.
Or maybe that shot made him forget it
That shot is always in the top three - right up there with Undertaker's shots with Ken Kennedy and Kanyon!
@@AskAdam28honourable mention for his chair shot to Maven
After seeing that shot I’m pretty sure JBL remembers nothing.
I should also mention Mankind's multiple chair shots from The Rock.
😂😂😂😂 Your Dreamer impersonations are always hilarious and spot on.
Stevie your wrestling podcast is awesome. You'll have many more viewers when people start figuring out how good it is
Stevie ur a really good person n down to earth ur attitude is AWESOME very nice n respectful Thank You for this video n all the other ones n the ones to come keep up the good work THANK YOU STEVIE
I have stepped barefoot on a single thumbtack and man was that unpleasant. It also gave me the utmost respect for anyone who will do a thumbtack spot. The worst part wasn't even stepping on it, it was pulling it out afterward...
Yeah, if you see those diagrams that show all the parts of the body with their size relative to nerves and pain receptors, your palms and bottom of your feet are up there with your tongue and lips.
The worst is when I've shattered a glass, and miss a tiny piece cleaning up. A tiny shard of glass that goes into the bottom of the foot is terrible.
Hey Stevie is talking about our local guys here in Southeast Louisiana! PJ Hawx and Luke Hawx. I've been to several Wildkat shows this year. Met Mick Foley at one of them. Really good indy promotion. Doesnt get enough credit
3-way-dance, I haven't heard that term for a triple threat in a loooong time! Yes!
Ive really enjoyed the new show! I loved the wrestling analysis but this is great too. Stevie just has such an amicable personality and a great wrestling IQ
Edge said he broke the back of his neck on the ladder spot with his match with Eddie on SmackDown, Edge said that he heard the back of his neck pop the moment he landed on the ladder, and could taste blood in his mouth which said tasted like copper, Edge was out for almost 18 months after that spot.
Hockey stick... Having lived most of my life in Detroit I still remember when Wilf Paiement broke Dennis Polonich's nose with a two handed swing with a hockey stick. Of course, that stick wasn't gimmicked, and was swung with full malice. Polonich was 5'6", Paiement was 6'1".
SR, my dude! I love these rankings! Keep it up!
Those flash-paper fireballs is what I always wondered about...
I'd imagine it's a lot like getting kissed by the flame when lighting a gas grill that's been bleeding gas a little too long. D.
@@brettkihlmire573 Yeah, I imagine there's some damage, but I just wonder if there's ever any real scorching. I was reading a book about The Sheik, who used to throw fire a lot, and they'd fake "burns" on his opponents by a little scrubbing with sandpaper... but I imagine it could legit leave a bit of a mark if it hit right.
Great one. I just wish gusset plates and lighttubes would had been on the list. :)
By the way, when it comes to thumbtacks i partially remember a funny story. An actual wrestler (Matthew Justice maybe or someone else) had put on different boots in one match, which had a thinner sole. So the match was running and at some point thumbtacks were used. Since his boots had a thinner sole the thumbtacks went all through the sole and so he had to work through the match with a lot of pain in his feet. :)
I love listening to these guys talk wrestling. Always insightful and interesting.
Stuff like this is why i get pissed when people say wrestling "doesn't hurt". Yes its scripted and protecting your opponent is essential, but its a wall of pain a lot of the time tbh.
Stevie's Jon Lovitz impression at about 60% intensity made me legitimately laugh out loud.
Hulkamania is the most powerful weapon in human history………. BROTHER!
“Finger Poke of Doom”, so dangerous!!!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers Jon Lovitz.
The critic was great in the 90s
Stevie is ageing like a fine wine. Goddamn 🔥🔥
When I was an idiot teenager doing backyard wrestling, I got hit with some of these and I specifically remember a cookie sheet to the head hurting like hell. Taking a bump on a ladder also sucks really bad. Taking a light tube across the back doesn't that hurt much, but there's also the potential for something to terribly wrong with that. One guy took a headshot with an ironing board that pretty much wrapped around his head and that looked like it hurt a lot.
I was a backyard wrestler too😂 we thought we were so over 😂😂
Cookie sheets suck if you use the regular ones but what I used to do was buy sure sure thing sheets or just use a turkey pan and cut it
@@newbritainpauly4841I'm Glad y'all are still here to Cognitively remember and tell those Stories like For Real #Salute
Bruh you should've been in CZW Wrestling Jon Moxley
Triple Threat Match: Ja vs Mox vs Janela
White shirt into the thumbtacks is unforgettable. The shot of blood seeping thru was crazy
0:34 "We're going to go A, B, D, C."
😅
Who doesn't like Stevie Richards? He's so underrated
Always amazed me with how much Physical punishment with the sport itself exerts on the body they still use real props at all.
I LOVE your Dreamer impression.
James and stevie!! You guys rock love the podcast!! ✌️✌️
Just love the content, thank you Stevie.
A Hulk Hogan chair shot wouldn't even be a D for a toddler
Lmao Stevie’s Lovitz impression is something I had no idea I needed
I was hoping stevie would bring up the Ludwig Kaiser/Kofi Kingston spot when they were talking about stairs. That looked so brutal
Love how the image to represent a microphone is Punk Lmaoo
I can hear this man talk all day he should be in the Hall of Fame.
It's always good to see James on a podcast other than that goof Conrad Thompson
Conrad needs to go. He sucks and co-hosts too many people who I would love to listen to.
It's esp nice not having to hear Conrad shilling boner pills and his stupid mortgage company the whole show.
@@NicTubeVids Conrad is the reason why I can't watch so many podcasts
The guy undertaker uses sounds exactly like Conrad it’s weird
@@krisbritwres394I'd at least argue Matt is infinitely more likeable than Conrad.
I think. Joey Mercury might rank the ladder as a A+++++ x Infinity..
I was there live for that Rhyno shopping cart spot! It was Wild!
Stevie Negan! Love the podcast guys!
Stevie with the greatest chair shot in the history of chair shots
Nice topic! BTW, do wrestling fans in other countries really think all trash cans are made of aluminum in the US? That's pretty funny. I have never seen one in the wild. My parents had a can in that style for decades that probably weighed 40 pounds with the lid.
Your ring psychology is great and your mind along with your athleticism would have gotten you a harder push anywhere but wwe, I personally think if aew came along sooner we could have got you maybe a bigger push. Love u man
Stevie along with al snow just great to listen to and smart
If a trash can is really a B they should just stop doing that all together because it always looks weak as fuck. I legit expected it to be D.
One of the best weapons in an actual fight is a lighter in your fist and yet I never see people do it. Try it! Anyone can do with their hands to sell it too. Instead we gotta have a cookie sheet and a stop sign. 😩
This guy has to be up there with Corny this is awesome ,
Something ive noticed about wrestling, usually the guy bringing the tacks to the ring, is the guy going through them.
In your thumbnail, at a quick glance, you look like a cross between Jeffrey Dean from Walking Dead & CM Punk. Nice🤙
The most busted-open I ever got was somebody else being hit with a stop-sign. The stop sign accidentally grazed my cheek.
This is a good question
It would ve awesome if you got Sandman on here to rank the same weapons because on his Podcast he acts like chair shots to the head don't hurt that much😂 The man is just built different lmao
Don't know about landing on Legos, but stepping on them is very painful.
one thing people seem to forget when asking about which weapon hurts that Stevie Richards is one of the last ECW guys he has taken most or wrestled who has taken them
Great stuff
I remember in another video Stevie said he was luck that Abyss was there to force him to take the bump on the thumbtacks because his survival instinct would not let him do it himself.
This is awesome 🔥
Stevie Negan lookin' bad ass in the thumbnail
Very interesting!
lol not sure anybody in the U.S. still uses that type of trash can in real life. It’s really more of a relic from the mid 20th century.
Ken Shamrock said a chair shot on the crown of the head didn’t hurt him much and had no problem with it.
He was already retarded so it probably didn't do much damage.
Kendo sticks are such a pet peeve of mine. I get having them when there's a match on the card that is sold as a weapons match, because I can buy that the company is putting actual weapons under the ring for maximum damage, but when the only extreme match is, say, a ladder match, what are kendo sticks doing under a wrestling ring? Why no golf clubs and tennis rackets too? I get that they're great to look at, but after a while they become immersion breaking to me.
I refuse to believe that those trash cans, and ESPECIALLY the lid, are a B. They looked like such flimsy crap.
It's all kayfabe. The trashcans were flimsy asf. They have to say this to protect the business.
I don’t know, I think I thought the same thing and I had an opportunity to kinda test one and there wasn’t as much give as I thought there would be, however I didn’t have someone swinging it at me.
Just trying to dent it myself took more of an effort than I thought.
Once damaged it crumbles easier
@@sirianfelixbrightonesquire3247 I'm sure it varies between the promotions. For example, mid-90s ECW probably had sturdier trash cans. But the stuff WWE was using during the Attitude Era looked like tinfoil.
Why did the thumbnail make me think CM Punk was gonna beat me up for a tier list
Mentioning lightbulbs, that is INSANE that people do that, and I have seen documentaries where wrestlers have been hospitalized and nearly DIED due to a spot with lightbulbs going wrong. This was on the independent circuit of course.
Some of these guys had just too much love for ECW and did honestly suicidal things. Much as I love ECW and Mick Foley, I can't help but think people took the wrong lessons from his putting himself through all that.
I always wanted to be a wrestler, I wanted to die in the ring for the people I was entertaining.
A short, exciting life of that was meaningful.
I would have sacrificed it all for your guys just to feel the love.
Someone really needs to give Stevie a job in creative! He is a damn national treasure
one of my friends who use to wrestle said the worse was gusset plates.
Yes, Roddy did lose hearing in that ear because of the chain match.
Never thought I would hear Rome, GA mentioned on here! I live in Rome
Honkey Tonk was lying, bigtime. You watch that shot to the head... he WENT for it with that swing and barely put a dent in that guitar. Not a chance in the world it was a prop.
I was in a match with someone who was green and decided to try some "crowd interaction." They got a solid oak walking stick from a fan in the crowd... and they didn't know how to work a chair, let alone a walking stick, and went to hit me with it and... i lost feeling in my legs for minutes... The most painful damn weapon I was hit with in my very short indy career. Second place is being slammed on a ladder that was lying on the side.
Belt shots have always looked unconvincing to me. I figured - it's just a belt with some thin metal decorations, how dangerous can it be? I guess I was wrong.
If I had watched this as a little boy, I would have cried my eyes out for days. 🤫
Multiple majors and minors in my view!!! You will ALWAYS be a wrestling Hall of Famer to me!!!
Thumbnail A.I. CM Punk 😂
I heard a story about a kendo stick shot from Sandman.
Sandman had a match with Perry Saturn, and before the match, Saturn told him, "You can hit me here, here, here, across the back. Do not hit me in the face, in the arms, or here, here, here." Well, during the match, Sandman hits Saturn right in the face. Saturn no sells it and gives Sandman a look. Saturn then takes down Sandman and starts pounding him in the face while shouting "RECEIPT! RECEIPT! RECEIPT!"
I’m playing smackdown here comes the pain season mode as Sean O haire and you were the first match .😂😂😂😂😂 Ironic
Fluorescent light tube: I'd say D. I once had one fall on my forehead, and I barely felt it. Still, you definitely want to clean up a there's glass and some kind of powder in there.
Very cool video
wait a sec...
the kid from that video who said "it's still real to me dammit" was on commentary for a show? how did that happen?
A few wrestlers befriended him after that short speech he gave and gave him opportunities. Something I’ll always find funny about that clip is that Cornette said he thought the dude was going to 🔫 up the place from how passionate he was.
I used to follow him on twitter, he manages at some shows too
Need your MOST underrated promo list .... Monty Brown Pooounce
I swear the the thumbnail had me thinking it was Neagan from TWD lol!
I heard that the pay cheque hurts more than the weapons!!
Story time with Dutch featuring Steven Richards?👀😮
Thumbtacks being that bad surprises me for some reason…
Yeah I'd have thought a ladder is an A even if it's gimmicked... Sometimes they break so easily but then you're landing on one of the rungs at a horrible angle. I remember Moxley taking a ladder bump at Mania and the thing immediately snapped in half but if anything, that meant it didn't cushion his fall and then he crashed down on a broken ladder. Looked incredibly brutal...
The Sandman Splash is by far the best in wrestling. RVD's 5 star is a distant second. 😎
Stevie got his diploma from the school of hard knocks
