10 Funniest Wrestling YouTube Videos
In which it's only sometimes funny to compare somebody to a horse.
There is such a thing as too much wrestling.
WWE's television output is excruciatingly longwinded, and with so much awesome content on demand, even trawling the WWE Network can be an overwhelming experience. There are times when you want a wrestling fix, but the idea of watching all 39:37 of Steve Austin and Triple H's Three Stages of Hell match is even less bearable than a guest commentary slot in which the match itself is ignored to an even more infuriating degree than normal.
That's where YouTube comes in. Home to all sorts of wrestling-related wonders, it can nevertheless send you into some really bizarre and unpleasant recesses of the internet - so much so that they've finally dropped the 'Related Videos' pretence.
This is where we come in.
Obviously, WhatCulture's own YouTube channel should be your first port of call. Stuffed with hilarious original content, there's a reason why we have more subscribers than the supposed second biggest wrestling promotion in North America.
That said, once you've exhausted the likes of BX Vs. Pacitti Club and How WWE Should Have Booked..., you could do worse than while away an afternoon with these gems...
10. The Scott Steiner Megamix
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/YD9SXH4T4Fc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>Steiner is a veritable melting pot of all which makes wrestling great. Legendary in-ring performer, originator of one of its coolest-looking moves, and a certifiably uproarious lunatic, he is as wonderful a distillation of our hobby as there has ever been.
This megamix is evidence of that. A little homophobic and misogynistic in places, if you can tiptoe past his ugly side, you're in for a thrill ride of intentional and unintentional hilarity. There are several highlights across its 22:33 duration, but of particular interest is his unapologetic use of the F-bomb.
Telling megastars like Goldberg and Hulk Hogan to 'f*ck off' was no sweat to Steiner. Betraying the one tenet of the anything-goes era at the turn of the century, Steiner knew he was untouchable enough to pretty which do whatever he wanted. With a fuse as short as his tough man reputation was large, nobody was going to tell him otherwise.
Steiner didn't necessarily need to use profanity to get his promos over - his telling Christian to 'go eat a steak, stick man' is wonderfully emblematic of his Ali-like way with assonance and rhyme, which of course becomes even funnier when his brain can't keep up with his mouth.
