I was gonna post the 'Irish People Watch Wrestlemania' video with a disclaimer, but you beat me to it so I'll explain now!

I was involved with making that, and am a massive fan of wrestling. I came up with the idea and edited it, but wasn't involved with the shoot because I booked Monday off so I could watch wrestlemania myself!

The disclaimer was originally going to be some sort of apology, and that unfortunately I had to do what was 'best for business' and appeal to our main audience, who unfortunately probably aren't wwe fans! The kind of videos we do basically slag off whatever's in front of us, sometimes it's american foods, or baseball, this time it's wrestling!

I did however try to make a few subtle edits - such as, whenever somebody said that it was fake or boring I showed something like dean ambrose jumping off the ladder or an exciting part of the match. The end 'subscribe' music is a royalty free version of Ride Of The Valkyries (I obviously couldn't use any official themes) And the video length is 3:16

Also, the other guy in work who directed it, knows I'm a fan and probably told them to be extra harsh as a rib to me, knowing that I love it so much!

tl;dr

I'm a fan and take responsibility for this, but wasn't allowed to make the video all that positive towards wwe because it wouldn't fit in with the style of the channel!

Awesome that you gave a reply. My main gripe wasn't that it was ribbing WWE. It's kind of to be expected and sure even wrestling fans rib on WWE. It was that it wasn't at all funny. You can look at Murph and Max and say it's funny because they get it but you kind of expect people who aren't into it to take the p1ss out of it. But it's usually funny.

The opening line "it's like porn without penetration" or something along those lines is just not funny and an extremely used and tired cliche. I didn't have a lol moment in the whole video and I've seen a lot of people not into wrestling who make a comment that made me burst out laughing. Not because they had no clue what they were talking about but it's just when you step back you can see it and how the line is delivered its quite funny.

This isn't a go at you, or the channel. I love a lot of the stuff on the channel. Hell, I'm even subscribed to it. Just this...wasn't good or funny.

Wade Barrett is the absolute best

Riddle101

Is Barrett actually retiring? Or was it for storyline purposes. Like when Mark Henry said he was retiring, but then attacked Cena and challenged him for the WWE Championship.

It was just Barrett acting like a heel. He went on to say after the bull hammer that it was all a lie and there was only room for one English Superstar in the WWE and that was him.

haha, really? I actually believed it. I even sent a few friends of mine a link saying that Wade is retiring.

If Wade was retiring I would post it in the news thread.

The Wade angle is essentially the same thing Sheamus did in Dublin last week.

Well i'm just happy Wade isn't retiring. I've been a fan of his ever since NXT, and think he's great.

Well this is fascinating

Regal mentions this on Y2J’s podcast, gas. Good match too for its time.
I presume it aired on ITV's World of Sport at the time, before it was obviously on ESPN at some point as per logo here.
WWE own the rights to Stampede stuff now of course

Totally forgot about Amy Zidian (Jimmy Wang Yang's valet)

On December 13th, WWE.com announced that Amy Zidian had been released from her contract. Amy, who played the role of Jimmy Wayne Yang's girlfriend on SmackDown, was previously a contestant in the 2006 Diva Search. Even though she didn't win the contest (she actually came in last place), WWE hired her a few weeks later and sent her down to OVW before being called up to WWE in November. Zidian was released because she rubbed too many people the wrong way.

Over the past few weeks, it all started when she made a comment to Layla El. Zidian asked Layla if she was upset that she was getting a push, whereas Layla, the winner of the same Diva Search contest in which Zidian was eliminated from, was "collecting dust." That was faux pas number one.

Number two occurred when Zidian made fun of Kristal Marshall's hair extensions, which made her so angry that she complained about it to management. Marshall relies heavily on hair extensions as her hair is actually really short.

Perhaps the biggest blow Amy made was when she insulted Vickie Guerrero. Apparently in a sarcastic tone, Amy asked Vickie as to why she was a WWE Diva, not to mention that she insinuated something about her looks and weight. Vickie responded by saying that since she wasn't pretty enough (referring to herself), she had better get out of "your" locker room ("Amy's locker room"). Although, Zidian honestly didn't know who Vickie Guerrero was and she couldn't understand as to why she was on the roster. Zidian was about to get fired for this, but John Laurinaitis came to her rescue and temporarily saved her job. Furthermore, there is probably nothing that can make you more universally despised in the locker room than to make Vickie Guerrero upset, especially considering that she's really nice in real life and she's been through a lot over the past few years.

The final blow came when Stephanie McMahon was producing a TV segment for her & Yang. Stephanie gave Amy some pointers on how to act. Reportedly, Amy responded with an attitude by asking Stephanie who she thought she was to give her advice. Apparently, this all transpired in front of several people backstage. Stephanie then informed Amy on who she was and that her family owns the WWE. Amy then rolled her eyes, either not believing it, because she didn't know who Amy was, or maybe because she knew she messed up big time. Well, that was it for Amy, and she was soon released from her contract. Also, Laurinaitis couldn't save her this time.

Additionally, Jimmy Wang Yang had been staying as far away from Amy as possible as of late because he didn't want any of the heat to rub off on him. Laurinaitis received the most heat for her actions, seeing as he brought her to TV and pushed for her use despite the creative team seeing little value in her.

That Amy Zidian woman has no pride in herself. Begging WWE to give her a job. Is that what getting a job in WWE comes to now?
