I remember Unbreakable and Drakedog... Also there was this Undead Female Warlock that did pretty cool videos. I can remember gender, race, class, even that he/she was a goblin engineer that was really good using eng bombs in PvP, ut I just can't remember the name . Most of the videos from this last person were world pvp, specially around my favorite gankspot : Tyr's hand. Plus a couple ones in battlegrounds.
Vurtne is probably the most known. I remember on Sylvanas there was a guy so fanatical about him he leveled to 60 with a "vurtnefan" type of name
Laintime best warrior to play vanilla in my opinion. Quit the game for like 2-3 years(cause of military service and got glad).
Pat's movie was pretty good what made me play a warrior at the time like must 1 shot them newbz.
Many vanilla PvP videos had one thing in common: hopelessly outgearing your victims.
If someone would make such videos today, they would get comments like: "lol bashing noobs in blues and greens and calling it skill? GTFO noob."
Also, in vanilla there was no tool to measure skill. Now you have arenas, and if your PvP hero has an arena rating of not more than 1673, you know what's going on... Many of the classic heroes magically disappeared as soon as arenas were introduced.
I remember Vurtne said he quit because world PvP disappeared, and that was all he was interested in. I don't think that the disappearance of classic "heroes" and introduction of arenas have too much relation at all, maybe they just disliked the new forms of pvp being introduced.
I loved Vurtne in vanilla, he showed that his skill got him there by equiping worse gear then he had and even then 3 vs 1ing
Also love Vurtne, would like him to come back

I don't know his videos, but I guess his oponents still were only some random open world guys roaming around, like it was in all classic videos.
Classic videos were entertaining, but you could never tell if they had anything to do with skill. If someone knew his class, had good gear, and bashed some random guys you never knew ANYTHING about, he was a hero.

Still makes videos today. Posted another a few weeks ago, actually.
Otherguy, Kishkumen(World of roguecraft) and Zalgradis, absolutely MVPs of all time.
I preferred EoS videos to drakedog. Though arguably (probably rightfully so) drakedog was better.

Can't seem the find any vids elsewhere...
Athene at least deserves an honorable mention.
