JUST SAW SOMEONE ON REDDIT TOLD ME THAT YOU GUYS ARE BACK I REALLY MISSED YOU GUYS..... I ALWAYS HAD A LITTLE FEELING THAT I MISSING SOMETHING ON TH-cam 🥺
The best thing out of WWE Thunderdome/No Fans era has to be the Hurt Business. Hurt Business vs all of Retribution is still so badass, seeing the Hurt Business line-up like Evolution, taking off the suits and meeting Retribution in the middle of the stage.
I was scrolling through TH-cam and then saw that u guys have a new channel and I was like what the hell so just now started watching u guys about an hour ago. You guys are in my top 3 favorite TH-camrs that I watch the most.
I'm so glad that the TH-cam algorithm put your video on my starting page. Otherwise I might have never even realized that you're back. I'm really happy that you found a way to keep your phenomenal content going and I wish you guys all the best for the new channel.
Fun fact about the Dimond Mine. Initial members were Strong, Rust, Hachiman & Bivens. The Creed brothers, Ivy Nile & Damon Kemp were added to the faction after Tyler Rust was released from WWE
Please do a SCW award show!! Give us what you guys think are the wrestler of the year, women’s wrestler of the year, tag team of the year, most improved wrestler, best champion, company of the year (I know you guys mostly are just AEW and WWE but still), match of the year, spot of the year, PPV/PLE of the year, etc. You guys can come up with more/different categories, whatever floats your boat, but it’d be cool to look back at everything this year. End of the day, I’m just glad you guys are back. I’m going through some mental shit rn but you guys always help me escape it for a bit. Keep killing it guys!
That last question I remembered everyone but Damon and Haichiman. I had Tatum Paxley in there as well because she’s been teaming with Ivy and Ivy mentions Diamond Mine whenever they have a segment
21:24 Funny you should mention that. In WCW in the early 90s before he became a wrestler, DDP was a manager and he had a stable he managed called the Diamond Mine. Some of the wrestlers in that stable? Vinnie Vegas and the Diamond Studd...aka Kevin Nash before he was Diesel and Scott Hall before he was Razor Ramon.
I was at the elimination chamber ppv before the world shut down. My brother and I went, and on the way to the arena we talked about covid and what could happen, and we both said lets enjoy this because who knows how long it'll be til we can do this again
OMG!!! So good to see you back John and Dante have been going insane without your quizzes. I hope that you are both well? I got 10 on this one, I had 18 going into the last question but only got Roderick strong right so I lost my 8 point wager. I can't wait to see more quizzes :)
You guys are in trouble with this one, so much decent but unremarkable stuff happened during that time period but also some underrated bangers. Especially Romans golden challenges/matches from Owens, Nakamura and Cesaro. Plus the IC title around the time of the interim champ and even Gulak teaming with Bryan. (Still wish they made a catchpoint faction with them two, Riddle and Alpha Academy).
I just watched this. I have a personal reason I'll never forget the shutdown. I know exactly when all the craziness started. Trying to remember all of the wrestling stuff from that year is tough.
Hey guys as always it’s good to have y’all back. I was wondering if you guys planned to either continue or restart your MYGM Mode playthrough? I really enjoyed those episodes and if you guys ever start live-streaming it could be a cool thing to stream. Keep up the good work guys!
lmao that's the final question from Hell. I'm not sure people that mainline NXT know the full answer to that one. I got Roderick and the two Creed brothers and counted myself lucky to get that many
1. Elimination Chamber +1 2. N/A 3. N/A 4. Austin Theory +1 5. Reckoning, Mace, Ali, Slapjack, Mercedes Martinez, T Bar +1 6. Smackdown hacker +1 7. Rey Mysterio and Aleister Black +1 8. Take Rey’s eye out +1 9. Randy Orton vs Edge +1 10. Summerslam +1 11. Goldberg and Braun replaced Roman. +2 12. Stadium Stampede. 13. Jade Cargill 14. N/A 15. Fight Pit/ Kurt Angle +1 Wager Double or Nothing: +11 16. Creed Bros, Ivy Nile, Damon Kemp, Roddy Strong, Malcom Bivens +11 (as long as all my answers here were right I counted it) Final: 22
Lowkey loved this era, I watched nearly every week because no crowd forced them to actually tell compelling storylines. Aced this test and it gave me real nostalgia ☺️
I got everything right except I knew Mercedes Martinez was in Retribution but I forgot her Retribution name. I knew it was a Re- name. Plus for the Diamond Mine I knew everyone but forgot Tyler Rust. I remembered the guys name had Hachi in it.
ThunderDome debuted on the SmackDown before Summerslam and they even had Vince McMahon in the ring before the Fiend, Braun Strowman and Retribution inturrupted
A lil late but honestly I laughed when John said, who gives a shit about Roderick Strong, APPARENTLY WWE DID, since they made him the leader of his own faction lolol
21 points before wagering (I didn't count Mercedes Martinez because I knew her but didn't get her "Retribution" name right, and only got half the TNT Title match) Final Score: 32 (got 5 of the 8 in the final question)
Ended on 36pts. Had 24 going into the wager, and bet 12, getting four members of the Diamond Mine. If I was made clear that it was all members of DM over time and not just those from the debut, then it would have been all nine.
begging you guys to put a poster or something up in the back where i think an old tv stand used to be, my adhd sees those black dots and think i have something on my phone for the whole video 😭
Aew had signed wrestlers at their events. Hell one of Billy guns kids was a superstar of the crowd as he was injured and trying to help the guys get hyped for the matches.
JUST SAW SOMEONE ON REDDIT TOLD ME THAT YOU GUYS ARE BACK I REALLY MISSED YOU GUYS..... I ALWAYS HAD A LITTLE FEELING THAT I MISSING SOMETHING ON TH-cam 🥺
I think we all are happy, I loved going through my week and seeing a Vid From the Best Duo Since Edge & Christian

Thunderdome was Smackdown before Summerslam. They used it to show off the Fiends entrance. Great to have you guys back
it said "what event did it debut"
I knew I wasn't going crazy
@@patricianogle8463SmackDown is an event....
@@GameTesterDev Oh-
I said SmackDown too
The confidence from John about Retribution until he heard what the question was was hilarious 😂

Yh same here
So glad you guys are back, always great watching you guys
WOW Almost 12K subs already....looks like the old fans are starting to rediscover you guys with these Quizzes
Fun fact about the Dimond Mine. Initial members were Strong, Rust, Hachiman & Bivens.
The Creed brothers, Ivy Nile & Damon Kemp were added to the faction after Tyler Rust was released from WWE
Just rediscovered you guys the other day. Missed your videos and glad you have returned with quizzes and such.
I just found this Channel today I can’t believe you guys are backkkk!!!
First time the Thunderdome was used was the SmackDown before Summerslam
Facts
was gonna comment this W for knowing ball
What even did it debut is the question (smack down really isn’t event cause it’s every Friday)
Yeah... The entirely empty arena was way better than the Thunderdome tbh...
@@TKOBOXING-YTthat's right, smackdown is not an event

Oh hell yeah you guys did my quiz let's goooooooo
Will! Thanks for sending it in!
That last question I remembered everyone but Damon and Haichiman. I had Tatum Paxley in there as well because she’s been teaming with Ivy and Ivy mentions Diamond Mine whenever they have a segment
Tatum paxley was a member until she turned on ivy but she only joined in like September of 2022 I think
Just saw ya on tiktok glad to see ya back very excited
HOLY S**T IM SO GAPPY YALL ARE BACK BEST BELIEVE I SUBSCRIBED RIGHT AWAY GONNA SEND YOU GUYS A QUIZ
21:24 Funny you should mention that. In WCW in the early 90s before he became a wrestler, DDP was a manager and he had a stable he managed called the Diamond Mine.

Love having these quizzes to watch again. Welcome back!

They said MyGM isn’t a guarantee
Good to see you guys back man...
I feel like this quiz is gonna be the hardest yet
Spoiler: It was.
Y’all vids are fire bruh
I love these awesome quiz videos John and Dante!
Man some of these were hard and that's gotta mean something, with this era not being that long ago.
Love having these too look forward to again.
Hey John. Surfs up cowabunga cage match is the best answer ever. Great show!
Absolutely needed this
Wow been awhile I watched y'all video good content keep it up stay blessed this a great video
I would have got almost all of these. Clear sign that I had too much time on my hands during this era
Im with John. I have NO CLUE about NXT
I gotta subscribe for that too sweet intro 😂
The thunderdome debut on SmackDown before simmerslam
It was actually the SD before summer slam for the thunder dome!
"who cares about roderick strong?"
-Dax Harwood fan
This man did not just ask"Who gives a fuck about rodrick strong"
This about to be 🔥
lmao that's the final question from Hell. I'm not sure people that mainline NXT know the full answer to that one. I got Roderick and the two Creed brothers and counted myself lucky to get that many
Really fun quiz!!! Oh btw Malcom Bivens in NXT is now Mr Stokley Hathaway
Just finding you guys for the first time… very excited about this channel! 🖤🖤
Thanks for finding us!
Outside of the Diamond Mine question I knew all the WWE questions right away
Only one I didn’t get was Mercedes Martinez‘s retribution character she left the Group almost immediately and went back to NXT
Ahhh yes a quiz on “the dark era of pro wrestling “
The thunderdome actually debuted the smackdown prior to summerslam my boys
The Thunderdome debuted on the Smackdown Before SummerSlam
Crazy enough, the Diamond Mine question is one that i got immediately. I was all over that stable when it first came about
1. Elimination Chamber +1
2. N/A
3. N/A
4. Austin Theory +1
5. Reckoning, Mace, Ali, Slapjack, Mercedes Martinez, T Bar +1

Final: 22
Not knowing fight pit is wild it literally just happened
Did you guys get to keep the title? Glad to see you are back!
5:55 Can't believe I knew all 5 members off the top of my head. 😂 EDIT: DAMMIT THERE WAS 6?!😭
Lowkey loved this era, I watched nearly every week because no crowd forced them to actually tell compelling storylines. Aced this test and it gave me real nostalgia ☺️
I got everything right except I knew Mercedes Martinez was in Retribution but I forgot her Retribution name. I knew it was a Re- name. Plus for the Diamond Mine I knew everyone but forgot Tyler Rust. I remembered the guys name had Hachi in it.
Damn I knew all the answers!!!! All!!! I mean from Thunderhome era? Really?? I'm honestly surprised 😂
“Who gives a $hit about Roderick Strong?” I Do 😂
I've missed you guys.
i gotta say, i don't watch NXT either, but i got a good laugh at John's guesses for Diamond Mine members lol.
John lost some love for me for saying "Who gives a shit about Roderick Strong?" Favorite member of the UE
When the question sad the two main events he said askua vs charlotte but it was rhea vs Charlottle
Yep
"Who gives a shit about Roderick Strong" someone is angling for a backbreaker from the Master of it!
22:11 Diamond mine also has Tatum Paxley? she joined the group this September
10:32 Nice 😉
love seeing my boy john rocking a baker sweatshirt
ThunderDome debuted on the SmackDown before Summerslam and they even had Vince McMahon in the ring before the Fiend, Braun Strowman and Retribution inturrupted
I AM SO MAD AT MYSELF FOR FORGETTING THE FIGHT PIT MATCH
A lil late but honestly I laughed when John said, who gives a shit about Roderick Strong, APPARENTLY WWE DID, since they made him the leader of his own faction lolol
I literally watched no wrestling during this era. WrestleMania 36 is the only one that I have still never watched in any capacity.
the fight pit is like the good version of the lions den from the attitude era that steve blackman and ken shamrock used to to fight in occasionally
21 points before wagering (I didn't count Mercedes Martinez because I knew her but didn't get her "Retribution" name right, and only got half the TNT Title match)
Final Score: 32 (got 5 of the 8 in the final question)
Vince McMahon introduced "Thunderdome" on Smackdown..
The hacking story line could've been amazing if Vince didn't mess up on the booking of Retribution. That group had such potential.
Cool Quiz, remembered every diamond mine member except Tyler Rust
Ended on 36pts.
Had 24 going into the wager, and bet 12, getting four members of the Diamond Mine. If I was made clear that it was all members of DM over time and not just those from the debut, then it would have been all nine.
Stephen Amell is in Heels too. You guys should definitely check it out
As Sheamus would say, banger after banger after banger after banger!
Quick question will there be any WWE GM Mode returning?
I got 15. And truthfully I'm surprised I got that many. 2020 was the year I kind of checked out on wrestling all together.
begging you guys to put a poster or something up in the back where i think an old tv stand used to be, my adhd sees those black dots and think i have something on my phone for the whole video 😭
18 + 5 of the Diamond Mine members. Didn't remember: Hachiman, Malcolm Bivens or Tyler Rust. I also said Tatum Paxley.
Tna...tna tna tna tna tna tna tna ! Shout out
Great vid
Roddy Strong disrespect is criminal.
Aew had signed wrestlers at their events. Hell one of Billy guns kids was a superstar of the crowd as he was injured and trying to help the guys get hyped for the matches.
can we talk about that you guys already have 12K subs?! 😯😯
Mercedes Martinez was the smartest member of Retribution, she saw the train wreck that was about to happen and said "Fuck that, I'm going to NXT"
Happy Saturday. I kinda liked the Thunderdome era 😊
Stadium Stampede was insane lol
The You Tube friendly phrase you are looking for is "The Spicy Cough"
How many fans were there in thunderdome era?that qquestion should be asked😂😂 0:49
I watched like 10 hours of wrestling a week just to remember nothing 😂
I had 15 there but then had 7 members correct of Diamond Mine for the last question, I've totally forgotten Tyler Rust.
I grew up with the No Fans Era it was part of my childhood I kinda miss it
I got 32 points too, but I named 7/8 of the Diamond Mine Members I forgot about Hachiman) so I'm claiming the win there 😂
The funny thing about Corbin throwing them off the building is that they were on Raw the next night.
Wow. Where did two years went........ iss the in my head. But gez times flies
the thunderdome debuted on smackdown before summerslam
Technically, the ThunderDome debuted the SmackDown before SummerSlam, but hey.
snoop dogg did a "huge" drop from the top rope....it was epic
Oh man how did I forget that "frog splash"
