Wrestling With Wregret is a Video Review Show on YouTube that is hosted by former independent wrestler and current independent manager Brian Schiedel, a.k.a. Brian Zane. Zane takes a look at some of the strangest, silliest, and stupidest things in Professional Wrestling, and explains in depth why certain angles, gimmicks, and moments were terrible, while adding plenty of jokes to keep the reviews entertaining. He's also covered wrestling themed movies, such as Ready to Rumble, No Holds Barred, Sting: Moment of Truth, and Body Slam.He also does shorter, vlog reviews on documentaries and pay-per-views on the channels, as well as vlogs giving his thoughts on recent wrestling news. Zane has also produced three spinoff series; Kayfabe Kitchen, offering recipes given by wrestlers; Getting Into the BiZ, where he gives advice to aspiring wrestlers; and Who War It Better, where he compares and contrasts each week's episode of Raw and SmackDown and determines which one was the better show. Who War It Better was largely retooled in October 2019 to cover the weekly episodes of WWE's third brand NXT and All Elite Wrestling's own TV series Dynamite called Wednesday Warfare, before the Warfare branding was eventually dropped altogether when NXT moved to Tuesdays. Reviews for episodes of Raw and SmackDown still went on in separate videos, sometimes by Zane and sometimes by a contributor, until Zane announced in 2022 that Raw and SmackDown reviews would go on indefinite hiatus due to the workload involved.You can find him here. | |

Broke the Rating Scale | |
| Wrestling With Wregret (Web Video) / int_24fbee90 | comment |
Broke the Rating Scale: During his pay-per-view reviews, he gives each match in the PPV a rating between 0 and 5 stars (originally 4), and mentions how he doesn't like giving out negative stars, with 0 being the lowest he likes to go. However, on rare occasions there is a match so terrible that he goes into the negative stars, with the first being during the WCW Halloween Havoc 1991 PPV with Doug Somers vs. Van Hammer.ReasoningIt was due to the amount of poorly-performed moves during the match. He couldn't decide who was the reason behind the poor quality of the match until the finish, where Van Hammer botches a slingshot suplex and nearly drops Somers directly on the top of his head. Zane decides it was because of Van Hammer, gives the match -3 out of 5 stars, and has one of the Cons for the pay-per-view as a whole be "F&*% Van Hammer". Even him giving 0 stars began as this. Originally the lowest rating he would give was ½ a star, but he found the Daffney vs. Ms. Hancock Wedding Gown match at the WCW Bash at the Beach 2000 PPV so bad that it became the first one to receive 0 stars. The second, coincidentally, was on the same show: The infamous Hulk Hogan vs. Jeff Jarrett match where Jarrett laid down for Hogan under Vince Russo's orders. On the other end of the scale, he gave 6 stars to the Stadium Stampede Match at AEW Double or Nothing 2020. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| Wrestling With Wregret (Web Video) / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Discussed; Zane points this out when movies suffer from this problem. Sting: Moment of Truth and The Jesse Ventura Story are prime examples of this: Moment of Truth is about Sting in the 1990s, yet he is shown wrestling in a TNA ring and instead of any of WCW's ring announcers, the movie uses TNA's ring announcer Jeremy Borash.note Borash did work for WCW in 2001 as a commentator. The Jesse Ventura Story covers Jesse Ventura's career, but for whatever reason has him wrestling in the 1999 WCW Monday Nitro arena in the 1980s and has him performing commentary with Gorilla Monsoon, which did happen in the 1980s, when they were still in the World Wrestling Federation. | |

Creator Backlash | |
| Wrestling With Wregret (Web Video) / int_48d94bb8 | comment |
Creator Backlash: invoked In the review for Nacho Libre, Zane instantly regretted coming up with Donny Base, refusing to bother with the banter and demanded him to Get Out!. Donny's appearance in The Masked Saint merely involved him being told to get out before he even said a line ("DUDE, FUCK RIGHT OFF!"), and in the "Side Character Rap" at the end of the WrestleRock Rumble video, Donny Base doesn't even get to finish his line before it jump cuts to Big Hoss McGraw. Implied, but similar to Donny Base, is how Zane reacts with regards of the "It's the Magic of Rape! *ding*" jingle from the "Top 8 Worst Kane Storylines" when it reappears on the "Top 8 Worst Babyface Turns", where it only gets as far as "It's the magic of—" before Zane shoos it off. Even though he made just his second appearance in eight years, the Annihilator is pushed aside by Zane in his review of Ultimate Death Match 3, who considered The Annihilator "boring". The kicker here is that the Annihilator lamented that Donny Base made more appearances despite the fact Zane regretted coming up with him, which is compounded with Donny getting a cameo appearance. | |

After mentioning The Miz's WWE Championship win, he realizes that The Miz is the only Tough Enough alum to win the title, making it the most successful season by default. | |

Fandom Rivalry: Discussed In-Universe. Zane has no time for this as it applies to pro wrestling, regardless of what form it takes. He placed Wrestling Twitter as #6 on his list of Worst Things in Wrestling in 2019, and opens his videos reviewing NXT and AEW by telling viewers "Like what you like, don't be a dick." | |

Not Me This Time: Zane immediately assumed Triple H was the one who sent him the movie Ultimate Death Match, even though Triple H proclaims that he had nothing to do with the "Ultimate Def Jam Vendetta". There is a brief callback in the cold open to Ultimate Death Match 2, when Triple H immediately denied any involvement over sending the sequels of Ultimate Death Match to Zane. | |

According to Zane himself, his own parents were less than thrilled about his passion for wrestling and it's been implied that he may have a strained relationship with them (not necessarily because of that, though). | |

This is averted, however, in the episode where he reviews Just Another Romantic Wrestling Comedy, as he doesn't have anything positive to say about the film. | |

Berserk Button: The InVasion Angle. While the show usually doesn't use the F-word for the titles of the videos (censored or uncensored), the video about it is titled "The F*&%ing Invasion." The McMahon family, especially their role in the above angle. Triple H's "Reign of Terror" (the near-untouchable dominance of Triple H during his period of various reigns as World Heavyweight Champion between 2002 and 2005) is a touchy subject for him. The video's thumbnail showing Triple H photoshopped as a turkey (with a lot of stuffing) speaks for itself. Zane got very riled up while discussing Paul Burchill's pirate gimmick from 2006, and has mentioned it several times in his other videos. "Trashbaggers," a.k.a. wannabes who do not wear proper wrestling gear since, according to Zane, wrestling in street clothes is a big fat no unless you're either in a street fight or are an established star that has earned that right. People who pretend to be wrestlers. He refers to them as BFFs.note Big fucking frauds. Intentionally disregarding kayfabe. One notable (and hilarious) moment of his NWF Kids Pro Wrestling review was his exasperated reaction to a clip of the promoter of NWF telling two of the wrestlers what's going to happen in an upcoming match while being filmed by a local news station. This is also implied to be the reason why he doesn't like Paul Burchill's pirate gimmick mentioned above; Zane always notes that when the gimmick debuted, Burchill outright stated that he didn't think of himself as a real pirate, but was doing so as a homage to his pirate ancestors (as opposed to Wrestling Doesn't Pay). During the "WWE Unathorized" episode, Zane goes on a rant about how the documentary misidentifies The Pegasus Kid (Chris Benoit) for The Blue Blazer (Owen Hart). During the "American Wrestling Federation" episode, Zane goes on a rant about how pointless it is when promotions say that they want to "bring wrestling back to its roots". His reason being is that wrestling constantly evolves. He puts as an example that Karl Gotch thought lowly of Harley Race (to put it in perspective, a wrestler whose heyday predates Ric Flair's), basically considering him the equivalent of what in later years would be called a "flippy wrestler" (mostly because Race innovated the diving headbutt). Invoked throughout the show's history by a "Rage-o-Meter", which fills during moments such as: His review of the made-for-TV film The Jesse Ventura Story, where the meter slowly fills throughout the film, as Zane takes note of pretty much every inaccuracy. He reaches his limit when the film depicts Ventura as commentator during the Montreal Screwjob, which according to the film, involved then-WCW star Raven versus an unnamed wrestler. He storms out of his house, repeatedly saying "No" as he gets in his car, boards a space shuttle and flies directly into the sun. His review of the 2000 film Backyard Dogs has him immediately breaking his "Rage-o-Meter" after one of the main characters claims to a wrestling executive that Mick Foley was the first backyard wrestler to get signed to a major promotion after his famous "roof jump" in the 1980s, which is barely true. Foley did work for the WWF after the video being made, but he was not a backyard wrestler, and Foley's work was not only as a jobber, but he was not under contract. And cue the space shuttle flying into the sun. | |

Cool and Unusual Punishment | |
| Wrestling With Wregret (Web Video) / int_c007c53 | comment |
Cool and Unusual Punishment: There's a Running Gag in Zane's videos where Triple H (in reference to his kayfabe tenure as WWE's COO in the early 2010s) is furious with Zane's constant badmouthing of the WWE, and attempts to break his spirit by forcing him to review the company's worst angles (usually done in season finale videos, with the resulting video being the season premiere). It never works. By the time Triple H drives by Zane's house and tosses him a VHS copy of Brawl for All, Zane can only roll his eyes and say chidingly, "Wow, what a dick." This culminates with Triple H forcing Zane to fully review The Authority angle which his portrayal is based off of. | |

Self-Deprecation: If Zane mentions his career as a wrestler in a video, expect him to not put his skills in flattering terms. He featured his own first match in the video for "Trashbaggers (Are Out of Style)", called himself a "crappy wrestler" in the video for "The 'Legend' of Supertramp", and, when showing a video of Erik Watts doing a bad dropkick in his "Worst Second and Third-Generation Wrestlers" video, he also showed a video of himself doing a bad dropkick. And then in his celebration of ten years in the wrestling biz, in an actual fed, no clip showed him successfully attacking anyone. He's no nicer to his appearance as an extra (playing a security guard) than to anything else in Ultimate Death Match 3, pointing out that he's not only not actually doing anything to break up the fight, but he's in street clothes instead of a security guard outfit. | |

He hasn't spoken highly of The Fabulous Moolah.

Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In his review of The Jesse Ventura Story, he bails after they reenact the Montreal Screwjob... despite the fact that Ventura was not part of it in any way (or for that matter, employed by the company that did it), and that the movie is set in the 1980s, when the Montreal Screwjob happened in 1997.note And placed in WCW Monday Nitro for some reason, creating another problem since the Screwjob was a WWF incident, thus making changes such as having Raven, of all people, be the wrestler in Shawn Michaels' place. Zane leaves instead of watching the final match of the second Grand Masters of Wrestling DVD, refusing outright to sit through another awful Mighty Macabee match. It doesn't work as after everything that he did, they only actually started the match as he comes back.

Expy: Zane mentioned in his Getting Into the BiZ series that he has trouble getting bookings because of his resemblance to Jim Cornette,note Who in addition to being his favorite manager, has made a few appearances on his show. even though it really isn't his fault. They both just happen to be pale white guys with brown hair and glasses. Cornette himself jokingly said that Zane was his illegitimate son. He might remind one of The Nostalgia Critic in pro wrestling form. The shows are very similar in style and delivery. Zane even admitted that The Nostalgia Critic was one of his influences, so it may be somewhat intentional. He might remind people of a couple of James Rolfe's characters. He can be very harsh and sometimes foul mouthed like Rolfe's most famous character, The Angry Video Game Nerd, but is generally more laid back like Rolfe's other character, Board James. Zane has mentioned that The Angry Video Game Nerd, like the above example, was one of his influences. They have a similar appearance as well.◊ | |

Brain Bleach: The sight of Big Dick Johnson dancing during his Top 8 Worst Dancing Wrestlers video made him rub sandpaper over his eyes. He mentioned having to go to the hospital in a minute: | |

Song Parody | |
| Wrestling With Wregret (Web Video) / int_eca7a21d | comment |
Song Parody: Has done quite a few of these: Parodied Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" with his song "Wrestling With Wregret", a song about the show. Parodied Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything For Love" with "Heel's Lament" (I'd do anything for heat, but I won't do that.) Parodied "Do You Want to Build a Snowman" from ''Frozen (2013) with "Do You Want to Watch Some Wrestling?" Parodied Taylor Swift's "Style" with "Trashbaggers (Are Out of Style)". Parodied Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" with "No Mercy", about the game. Parodied They Might Be Giants' "Particle Man" with "Braun Strowman", about...guess. Parodied "Weird Al" Yankovic's "The Night Santa Went Crazy" as "The Night Daniel Went Crazy" to be about Daniel Bryan. | |

Vomit Discretion Shot: Vomits into a trashcan upon hearing about how an old lady's "pie" The Rock ate "had a strange taste of mold" during his review of The Rock's single "Pie". He also vomits into a trashcan at the start of his video on Trashbag wrestlers. | |

Running Gag | |
| Wrestling With Wregret (Web Video) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: invoked In the "NWF" episode, Zane repeatedly calls one of the public access TV executives "Old Man Tronson" and says he's trying to ruin the kids' fun. Captain Lou Albano has interrupted Zane a few times in his usual cloudcuckoolander manner, such as in the "Body Slam" episode. In the "WWECW" episode, the clip of the Zombie from the first episode of ECW on Sci-Fi comes up a lot. It also comes up practically every time WWECW is mentioned in one of his videos. Zane's apparent inability to escape wrestling referee Jesse Hernandez, who has popped up in no less than five videos so far: "Number of explosions survived by [protagonist]", whenever reviewing The Marine movies. After Brock Lesnar coined his "Suplex City" Catchphrase and began to be used afterwards to describe Lesnar applying several German suplexes in a row to his opponents as them "being sent to Suplex City" afterwards, Zane would appropiate the phrase with a twist, instead describing any wrestler being given a low blow as them "being sent to Dick Kick City." Thanks to Tantric vocalist Hugo Ferreira's over-the-top Yarling of the word "revolution" at the World Wrestling All-Stars event of the same name, Zane has taken to yarling rhyming words (or the same word) in a similar fashion, e.g. the WWE faction RETRIBUTION, or as he says it, "REAAAAAATRIBYOOOUUUSHAAAAAWN!" In his WCW PPV reviews, every time Meng shows up, Zane will call him "the man called Meng", sung to the tune of the Sting Image Song "The Man Called Sting". | |
