** Also, one of the wrestlers who made a cameo appearance promoting his channel was subject to many fans mocking him, saying that they never heard of him and mocking his promise of them hearing of him eventually. Those same fans were proven wrong as Wrestling/SammyGuevara became one of the biggest stars in AEW.

* CriticalResearchFailure: In his ''Heroes of Wrestling'' review, he claims that "Mini Bundy" (a man seen at ringside through the show that resembled Wrestling/KingKongBundy, albeit much smaller than him) is the promoter of the show, Bill Stone. While it is a popular misconception,[[note]]Another theory at the time was that he was King Kong Bundy's manager[[/note]] "Mini Bundy"'s real name is Michael Henry. Bill Stone was slimmer and has more hair for starters. Also, we saw Michael Henry before the main event; he was the valet in the pre-match promos between Tully Blanchard and Stan Lane.

** Wrestling/JimCornette's appearances on the channel can be hard to watch after [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-7mpZkmd8w Cornette blocked Zane on Twitter]] after Zane gave his two cents on a discussion about comedy wrestling (Cornette being fervently against it, while Zane does enjoy it),[[note]]After a Cornette follower tweeted that people who enjoy comedy wrestlers must want all wrestling to be like that, Zane chimed in and said that people who enjoy comedy wrestling do not want all of wrestling to be like that, and that in any case comedy wrestling wasn't necessarily a bad thing. After the discussion continued, someone tagged Cornette in, who blocked Zane. (Zane speculated that his comment including the phrase "old man" could have been understood as aiming at Cornette, but he clarified that he was referring to the "old man mentality" that rejects comedy wrestling, not at Cornette in particular.)[[/note]] especially considering that Jim's first appearance on the channel consisted of him punching Zane dressed as Wrestling/VinceRusso.

This really feels like a stretch here.


** In his Top 8 Worst Gimmick Matches, Zane shows a video of a scaffold match in XPW to say why they never do this type of match, with him saying at the end, "Well, if he's not dead, wrestling sure is." The problem is that this particular video can bring back memories of the infamous New Jack vs. Vic Grimes match, which it is well known for New Jack deliberately overthrowing Grimes as payback for blinding him in one eye, almost killing him. Luckily, Grimes only sustained a broken ankle.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: In the Top 8 Worst Wrestling Themes video, Zane asked in regards to Wrestling/TheRock "What's not to love," as he had an amazing career in both Wrestling and movies. In "People" magazine, he would be listed as the number one reason to love the United States of America in June 2021.
* HilariousInHindsight: Brian's "Braysanity" skit (in which Wrestling/BrayWyatt, played by Zane, advocates exercising) seems a whole lot funnier, given Wyatt's later ''Firefly Fun House'' segments, one of which included the "Muscle Man Dance", in which Wyatt... advocates exercising. And no, the similarities were not lost on Zane when he reported on the latter skit.

** The cameo appearance by The Whole F'n Show in the "Donald Trump in WWE" episode is hard to watch for some due to the bad blood between Kevin Scampoli of TWFS and Brian Zane and the backlash it gained.[[note]]Zane, TWFS, and Adam Blampied from were supposed to have a panel together for [=WrestleCon=] 2017. However, due to several incidents that Scampoli was involved in, Zane decided to removed TWFS from the panel. Things got worse from there.[[/note]]

* BrokenBase: His video on the ''Rodman Down Under'' event was a guest review with WebVideo/{{Phelous}}, and while fans of Phelous found the video pretty amusing, people who are only fans of Zane and unfamiliar with Phelous' style of comedy took to the comments to complain.

* OlderThanTheyThink: In Top 8 Worst Debuts, he mentions that Wrestling/TheGobbledyGooker debuted in ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries'' 1990, the same event as Wrestling/TheUndertaker, and says, "What if The Undertaker was supposed to come out of that egg?". This joke becomes funnier when you find out that there used to be a rumor that Mark Calaway, the man who portrays The Undertaker, was supposed to be the guy coming out of that egg. In an interview with Wrestling/StoneColdSteveAustin in 2019, The Untertaker revealed that even ''he himself'' thought that he would debut by coming out of the egg.
