And till this day, I still think about D-Von's face turn during the finals. It's been long since a storyline moved me THAT much. But it was really perfect. And to think it was all AI.
And yet most of his matches, including the final match, had interferences in favor for him. That was no face turn, it was karma that did D-Von in, and Henning was only giving him his just desserts.
It was such amazing storytelling. D-Von basically only makes it to the final tournament by interference, he's the biggest heel. Suddenly he starts to fight well on his own, cleanly beating opponents nobody would have expected him to beat, slowly becoming a babyface underdog everyone started to root for. But as he reaches the grand final and it looks like he might take home the crown, the demons of his past come back to haunt him and he loses by interference himself.
I’ll never forget the shock as he made it to the finals and starting to root for the Reverend. He went from being the dirtiest winner of the tournament to the fighting underdog. Then of course we witnessed the greatest double turn in wrestling history as Stone Cold used D-Von’s old methods to steal the Kingiest of the Ringiest and become the inaugural WGGP champion. Amazing storytelling🔥
The story and subsequent screwing of Dvon is legitimately some of the best storytelling I have ever seen, and im not joking. He cheated his way into the finals, proved himself in his match with Taker, overcame the odds by beating HHH who also cheated to get to the spot he was at, only for all his past sins to come back and cost him the whole tournament.
The finals is some of the weirdest and best AI I’ve ever seen. Kevin Nash WALKING OUT on a match is so on brand and is he funnier that he threw the match for HHH. D-Von kicking out of everything that was thrown at him, becoming the biggest babyface after he was the biggest heel after the first tournament. Mr. Perfect helping Austin only to lose his title shot via interference (I remember flair interfered but I don’t remembered who’s side he was on). It just goes to show how magical nL are
cm punk and Carito back and forth battle in the parking lot was funny and add on with jawnny’s wrestling speech which is funny yet at sametime very inspirational about wrestling being entertaining is what matters the most.
I love the storytelling of D-Von. Like legit it it can be used to make any stable heel into a face. Have a tournament, have in the beginning they constantly win because of their team. Then in the semi finals have the team separate, meaning the person needs to fight on their own. And they pull off a victory but only barley. Then in the finals have them do an amazing match where they might pull off the victory before interference, leading to them losing. Can make any wrestler into a baby face
Rather have him qualiffy as a heel using heel tactics and throughout the tournament win matches vs other heels to build momentum as a babyface and in the final vs another babyface who the fans are bored of sorta have him interract with the fans be more liked cheered and do a double turn in the end. Would be legit awesome.
Oh, I nearly forgot about CM Punk and Carlito....Good god, that was a long, long match. Slip's hysterical laughing, and of course the ending of the Kingiest. Good times!! Thanks Beefy for the recap!!
This was the event that brought me back to watching nL regularly…the perfect combination of unplanned video game glitches, legitimate drama and hilarious nL commentary. Punk/Carlito fight forever!
Watching that Tori v Austin match and being reminded it was possibly one of the best matches of the entire tournament had me realize we never had them face off again for the WGGP championship. Maybe ol Stone Cold can win it back and we can make that legendary rematch come true
They say the greatest heels in wrestling are the ones who are justified. And the greatest babyfaces in wrestling are the ones who are flawed. This is what makes the D-Von/Austin double turn at the end of this tournament so magical, because even those watching are divided. Wrestling truly is an art form
its wild how fantasically story driven the whole kingiest of the ringiest all throughout and then the finale came and it was like wow how could this have eneded up more perfectly. kingiest of the ringiest truly is a must watch.
Man I hope this is a foretelling of the return of the kingiest of the ringiest. I anticapate this more than anything else on youtube. This kingiest of the ringiest was fricken god tier it is insane how cray the matches were and lets not forgot how much story was involve naturally in every seperate king of the ring let along the finals. The thing has a special place in my heart. arguably my favorite newlegacy series dear gosh all the cray good moments from the kingiest of the ringiest.
I like how people are saying the ending is a double turn when in reality, it's D-Von's past sins finally coming back to haunt him at the moment he almost won it all. It’s karma at it's finest
I’ll never forget that cm punk vs Carlito match….I took a nap and woke up THEY WERE STILL FIGHTING💀🤦🏾♂️ and how appropriate for undertaker theme to fit for his crowning lol
I couldn’t stop laughing at Carlito vs Cm Punk!! It’s like a cool spot happens every 15 minutes, and it’s the longest 15 minutes in the fucking world 😂😂
Pretty sure all of his opponents were heels and one was even the despicable Vince McMahon! So by wrestling logic he had help to beat heels = babyface. I mean even during Hulkamania, Hogan could be a bit of a prick but most of us still cheered him, lol.
I came here because my grandpa told me about CM Punk vs. Carlito! Man was he right, that was wrestling. Can I get a shout out? Its my 35th birthday today.
Beefy turns God tier hilarity into Godlier tier hilarity with his amazing visual edits. It's awesome (can't forget the hilarious audio edits too like the dbz fall sound)

I can never look at Curt Hennig the same way again

13:32 the Hank Hill impersonation always get me

Mr. Perfect helping Austin only to lose his title shot via interference (I remember flair interfered but I don’t remembered who’s side he was on). It just goes to show how magical nL are
Add to that Austin overcoming interference in every match only to use interference to win in the final
cm punk and Carito back and forth battle in the parking lot was funny and add on with jawnny’s wrestling speech which is funny yet at sametime very inspirational about wrestling being entertaining is what matters the most.

I love that Slip's maniacal Elmo laughing from Vince vs. D-Von was captured forever.
Edit: 2:36 for those who are curious or want to bookmark it.
Oh my god, Slip is Fondle-Me-Elmo from the DEADLOCK episode of the second Shotgun Saturday Night featuring Sunny?!
Hearing him do that Elmo laugh during the Grand Master Sexay promo was amazing too 😂😂.
@@Kaltagstar96 Wait... Slip isn't Sting... HE'S BEEN TODD PETTINGILL THIS WHOLE TIME!!!
@@Pensfan5919 How do we know that Todd hasn't been Slip, who's also been Sting??
@@Kaltagstar96 NANI?
the greatest nL match of all time finally gets its spotlight
Oh, I nearly forgot about CM Punk and Carlito....Good god, that was a long, long match. Slip's hysterical laughing, and of course the ending of the Kingiest. Good times!!
Thanks Beefy for the recap!!
Honestly ECW guys helping d-von was amazing
Oh man, Carlito vs CM punk is still the greatest match nL match in history. That was legendary
Up there with Seamstress v Goldberg easily hahah
@@jbc00per link?
@@BBoy4040If you still haven’t found it it’s from the 2K19 mods stream, there’s a highlight of it that should be easy to find.
THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO THESE TWO
THIS IS WRESTLING
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME
THESE TWO WARRIORS JUST WONT LET GO
This was the event that brought me back to watching nL regularly…the perfect combination of unplanned video game glitches, legitimate drama and hilarious nL commentary. Punk/Carlito fight forever!
39:45 In Shut Your Mouth every wrestler has is own animated moves. Loved that.
13:41 is still one of my all time favourite NL moments. Kills me every time 😂
Buh-Buh Ray running over Vince and D-Von in the jeep never fails to reduce me to tears of pure joy.
You guys laughing at the continuous reversals CM Punk and Carlito made my day. Keep up the great work guys.

Kevin Nash's performance against HHH in the quarter finals is truly what wrestling is all about

"'Can I go back to sim it?' NO YOU'RE FUCKING WATCHING THIS!"
That bit killed me
Man I hope this means we get another Kingiest in 2023. Watching the tournaments live was such a blast
43:28
The G.L.O.A.T ladies and gentlemen
The series that made me a lifelong nL fan, and by proxy, lifelong Deadlock fan.
Havent watched them in a couple years and this vid popped up haha but im probably missing so much lore now
I still cry over D-Von's legendary performance in the finals.
;_;7
58:17 "Wow...wrestling has PEAKED for me." LOL
I love these highlight vids of things that happened years ago. Really shows that you are committed to this channel. The Kingiest was such a blast.
That Grandmaster Sexay Cameo was amazing. Gone way too soon
The fact that they edited "This is Awesome" in the CM Punk v Carlito brawl... Is awesome 👍😎
That Brian Christopher video had me cracking. 😂 RIP Grandmaster ❤️
Beefy, your editing on all of these videos is top notch. We do not deserve someone as talented as you. Thank you for all you do for us.
I appreciate that, man, thanks for the comment!
Carlito vs Punk was such a legendary match.
1:16:45 this part aged like good ol wine
40:43 "chris jericho just drilled molly holly"
Only the newLEGACYinc crew could make the absolute ****show that is Punk/Carlito in SVR 08 actually watchable.
Man, I remember watching all of these as they went live, what a great way to start 2021.
1:16:47 long term story telling at its finest.
who's ready for the HELLiest of the CELLiest
Moneyiest in the Bankiest, it may be short as hell but maybe it can be the pre-show
@@GanzoHasashi1911 Just happen to see your comment, Boy were you off by a mile 😂
@@Wonderful_Productions Yup, I underestimated the hell out of the AI in SVR10 😂
22:40 now I really want the RTC series to come back
The greatest Xmas gift is New Legacy, making wrestling exciting for me again ♡
I like how people are saying the ending is a double turn when in reality, it's D-Von's past sins finally coming back to haunt him at the moment he almost won it all. It’s karma at it's finest
That’s how I viewed it as well.
I’ll never forget that cm punk vs Carlito match….I took a nap and woke up THEY WERE STILL FIGHTING💀🤦🏾♂️ and how appropriate for undertaker theme to fit for his crowning lol
FIGHT FOREVER 😭
I saw the thumbnail and then saw Carlito vs. CM Punk, and thought we got Christmas trolled with this entire video being the match.
The Perfect Interference
I’m so excited for the next tournament whenever it happens
Tanahashi; King of the Hills was marvellous.
I agree that Smackdown vs Raw 2008 is a bad game, however, the game having an animation for someone winning the King of the Ring is pretty neat.
It's regular, and it's that doesn't have a story mode as good as the previous game
I'll never forget just losing it during the Punk vs Carlito match. An all time nL match
I couldn’t stop laughing at Carlito vs Cm Punk!! It’s like a cool spot happens every 15 minutes, and it’s the longest 15 minutes in the fucking world 😂😂
That dvon storyline was fucking magnificent
The finals playing out in 2K19 was magical. One of my favorite streams of all time
That Kevin Owens Code of Honor impression was fucking hilarious
I still don't know why you guys aren't bigger on TH-cam. You guys are legends.
I will never forget this event. I will tell my children about it.
41:05
That might not age well anymore if rumors are to be believed lol
Damn I thought there was a new one, but I'd still gladly watch this. Some of my biggest laughs on TH-cam.
Devon countering the Tombstone into a Tombstone of his own got me emotional lmao
Maybe it's because I'm watching from the safety of the Highlights, but for some reason I didn't want Punk vs Carlito to end.
You know, Punk vs. Carlito doesn't seem so bad now.....
People say the D-Von had a face turn in the finals but to me D-Von has always been a face! He didn't break any rules in the first tournament!
wow youre right. didnt even think about it that way 😂
Pretty sure all of his opponents were heels and one was even the despicable Vince McMahon! So by wrestling logic he had help to beat heels = babyface.
I mean even during Hulkamania, Hogan could be a bit of a prick but most of us still cheered him, lol.

Can I get a shout out? Its my 35th birthday today.
This was the event that introduced me to nL and the Royalist last year made me a lifelong fan
57:24 “real glass, cry me a river”
I WAS JUST REWATCHING SVR 2008 KOTR! Loved the intro (Would've been more appropriate to use the Fight Forever chants tho but still great intro).
Yes. I've been waiting for this headlights for so long.
I hope we gen another one of these. This was so much fun.
I watched all the matches for sure, I hope you guys do this again. Such a fun ride to see dvon get that far.
And the cherry on top: the Austin 3:16 promo would work here because of d-von's old gimmick.
Beefy turns God tier hilarity into Godlier tier hilarity with his amazing visual edits.
It's awesome (can't forget the hilarious audio edits too like the dbz fall sound)
Such a fun series. One of my fave NL series.
58:19 what a spot 😂
The promo package for the finals tournament was perfection
I’m waiting on this years
This is crazy, I just started rewatching the series!
Can I get a HELL YEAH to the best nL Tournament that has ever happened finally getting a Highlights Video?
That Chris Jericho spot with Molly Holly seems so sus in 2024 🤣
What a throwback that GMS promo was
Rest In Peace Grandmaster Sexy
I will never forget Bubba Ray Dudley running over Vince McMahon.
You guys are TOO darn funny with your commentary, I LOVE it! I like see some celebrity wrestling for men's and women's, if possible. Thanks.
That Hank Hill impersonation was spot on holy hell
“Dammit, Tanahashi. Do I look like a know what a Shin Nihon is? I just want a picture of a god dang choke.”
I cannot wait to see CM Punk vs. Carlito one more time in wwe 2k24.
Shoutout King of Colosseum 2 for having the best matches throughout the entire tournament
Every time Bubba Ray did the kick to the groin, D-Von went for the pin.
I'd kill for a NewLegacy Tag League where all the teams are randomized.
DVON Storyline was amazing , we need him again in 2023
I've watched the whole thing at least 3 times.
Carlito vs. CM Punk was my favorite moment 😄
I love NL and Deadlock so much. Better than Christmas
CM Punk vs Carlito is still the greatest wrestling match of all time. This truly is wrestling.
I can't wait for newlegacyinc to another kingest of the ringinest to marathon
Damn that D-Von and his Dudline!
That was a perfect ending to an amazing montage! What would have made it better? More Punk vs Carlito, but brilliant otherwise :D
"oh my brothah, Testi-drive!!" 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂
It's a Christmas miracle, god bless ya Beefy ❤️
Cm Punk vs Carlito was another legendary match in the nL history books
God.... D-Von.
What a story.
How was it? This is the first time I've heard of king of Colosseum 2. This looks fucking sweet
Austin had interferences against him in nearly every match he fought and he STILL won it all lol
