| 0:00.0 | Let us be honest, my friends. The word buried is lost in today's wrestling world. |
| 0:04.6 | Somebody can lose a simple match on Raw and all of a sudden they're buried. |
| 0:08.2 | What the flub we're talking about? Somebody has to lose. |
| 0:11.1 | Sometimes though a decision can really impact a character and yes, we do have to hit reset to get things going again. |
| 0:16.9 | That usually does mean it's an error. I mean the perfect match, he's both the winner and the |
| 0:20.9 | defeated person coming out the other side, and damn it, they smell good. What? So do you want to know |
| 0:26.0 | who some of these are, I imagine you would do? So hello, I am Simon Miller, I'm a bald idiot. |
| 0:30.4 | And always remember to debate this in the comments. Number 15, Baron Corbin when he took on John |
| 0:34.8 | Sina. Now, it wasn't actually the match itself that we are referring to |
| 0:37.9 | here. It was what WW he did with Baron Corbin in 2017 before he clashed with one John Sina. |
| 0:43.2 | The short version is he was Mr Money in the Bank, he cashed in his briefcase, and that Mother |
| 0:47.4 | Hubbard failed. He was about to clash with Jinda Mahal when Sina interfered and yet Baron got |
| 0:51.9 | pinned and it was just the wrong choice at the wrong time. It would have been fine if Corbin |
| 0:55.6 | had gone on and got his revenge against Sina, but well yet Baron got pinned and it was just the wrong choice at the wrong time. |
| 0:54.5 | It would have been fine if Corbyn had gone on and got his revenge against Sina, but well, I tell you that was never going to happen. It just treated Baron as somewhat of a comedy figure and he was way more than that. His LXT run had shown what was possible on the main roster, but as soon as he was called up, it always felt like we weren't getting behind him in the same way. It was still a match with John Cena at Somerslan, however, but when Baron lost both of these so close together, well, you could feel it, it left him in a worse position. Even as a heel, you do need your up moment. I would say he never got it. The man still went on to have a hell of run with WWE and really was a needed character for a good old while. I just think in hindsight this wasn't |
| 1:28.1 | the way to do it. Maybe there's more to the story. We may never know, but he's still smashing it out there on the independence. And I tell you, if somebody told you that the first time you took a bump, you would be happy Larry. Number 14, Owen Hart with Degeneration X. Owen Hart was most definitely in an awful position after the Montreal screw job, while |
| 1:44.7 | Davy Boy Smith and Jim Knighthart were able to go to WCW. With Brett, Owen was told, nope, |
| 1:49.9 | you'll be staying right here. Now at first, there was a positive caveat. Given what has just |
| 1:54.6 | happened, we can make you the Black Heart, and as the last remaining connection to the Hart family, |
| 1:58.8 | you can be the one to go after Shaw Michaels. It's a damn good spot to be in. He was the flipping WWF champion. The fans were also super into this as well because, of course, everybody knew the story about Vince McMahon screwing over his brother. But for whatever reason, we just never went through with this as much as the first it felt like we were going to. I mean, some people have said Degeneration X made sure I didn't go |
| 2:17.7 | anywhere, but also this was during a time when Stoke Cold Steve Austin was going to explode. And if you do know the history between Austin and Owen Hart, but let's just say after the net break at SummerSlam 1997, I don't really think they saw I-2-I. Even outside of all that, though, the next paperview after the Survivor series was Degeneration X in your house and the main of that was |
| 2:35.6 | Sean Michaels versus Ken Shamrock. What happened when we got to the end? Outside of all that, though, the next pay-per-view after the Survivor Series was Degeneration X in your house, |
