The whole Randy/Stephanie thing comes down to a promo Vampiro cut in WCW. He and The Misfits were building to a feud with Randy, and he called him out and implied that Randy's then manager and real life girl Gorgeous George was too young (she was 25 when she met Randy) and that Randy liked young girls. But Vampiro used her real name Stephanie as was his thing at the time. Over the years people got confused partly because that Stephanie ran off with Doyle from The Misfits and so the Savage Vampiro feud never happened.
Jim Cornette says Kerry Von Eric MIGHT have stood in for Warrior during some House shows etc. Leaving baffled fans to wonder how the Warrior got so good all of the sudden :/
@supes me,This is the problem, you never saw him wrestle or even know anything about the guy but because Cornette said so it must be true. Do yourself and the rest of us a favor and do some research before spouting some bull shit. Kerry Von Eric was a joke. If his father wasn't the owner of WCCW he would have spent his entire career as a jobber. just go watch the match that he won the belt from Flair, the junky could barely walk let alone wrestle
@@bobhollywood6292 Kerry was very good. He actually wrestled for a while on a prosthetic foot from 1986 untill he died in 1993. If it wasn't for his drug addiction, he could have been a much bigger star than he was.
Hey folks - I apologize for mispronouncing Verne Gagne's name. I got into wrestling in the late 80's when the AWA was on the decline and was a WWF fan. I've got no excuse for tryst though!
The "Two Warriors" story predates the internet. That crap started in 1989. I remember, because the first person I heard it from was in my high school freshman electronics class, and I explained to him that a different haircut and facepaint didn't mean the guy died and was replaced. God, people can be stupid.
Yeah, like all the people who supposedly know without an absolute doubt that the Montreal Screwjob was a work??!! LMFAO, these people actually see themselves as geniuses who are onto some top secret info that no one else can prove! Give me a fucking break! Lmao!
I have never believed the jet ski accident story. This is the same guy who claimed that he auditioned for and was asked to join Metallica but turned it down.
@@matrolmem3463 Yeah, I mean Brutus Beefcake got hit by a girls knees and his face was fucked up yet Hogan who got hit by a sky, which is much thicker didn't affect him as much.
When I was in high school this friend told me he read in the newspaper that Ultimate Warrior had died and replaced with a look alike.I really fell for it.
I heard that same exact story from a kid I went to school with. Lol wow weren't the late 80's early 90's great??!! Pre internet where we learned almost everything word of mouth. You never knew what was real or made up
The persistent urban legend I heard growing up was that Warrior's biceps exploded while trying to lift Yokozuna. His arms were replaced with wooden ones.
The Streak wasn't really 'the streak' until 2002/2003... IIRC Flair's Challenge to Taker for Mania 18 in '02 (eventually becoming #10) was the first time Taker was Challenged for 'The Streak... meaning that Matches 1-9 were booked as per the needs of the story, so it is wholly plausible that any one of those opponents, or potential opponents, would have been cited in conversation as possibly getting the win
There was a point when most wrestlers' nicknames came in between their first and last names. Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, etc. At some point, they changed that so that the nicknames came first. Not in all cases, but with quite a few of them.
You're not seeing this clearly the hulkaconda slithering through not only MT. Mrs. Hogan but MT. Saint Ms.Elizabeth at the same time. Triple threat not handicap
i BUY the "Savage gave Hogan a black eye" story because it makes sense that Randy would be upset over learning Hogan knew Elizabeth was cheating with a guy but didn't tell his supposed friend! And you're telling me Hogan's alleged jet skiing accident wouldn't have made the news or papers, complete with video or photos?
Diesel beating Taker was not only believable, but something that would've set up 2 towering monsters to battle it out for likely YEARS. Not to mention the whole KLIQ situation, some remarks from a lot of other people saying Undertaker and Diesel we're working on a huge angle etc.
The Kane rumor resonated because the Undertaker pulled him through the ring right before he went on vacation. When he came back months later, he had bulked up considerably and changed his costume - looking like a very different person.
Ultimate warrior is my fav wrestler. Raw was coming to town so i got tickets and bought me a new warrior shirt. I thought i was gonna stand out being the only one wearing one there that night but he died 2 weeks before raw came to town and several people had one. But they did the warrior tribute that night when i was there so that was cool. If you look up the youtube video ultimate warriir tribute i was on tv that night at the 4 minute mark in the video. I was holding the sign that says always believe.
the story between Savage and Steph...Savage was listening to Winger "...She's only seventeen.....:::seventeen:::....her daddy says she's too young but she's old enough...old enough for me"
Yeah, whatever the plan might have been for Diesel-Taker at WM12, one thing is for sure: The word "streak" would never have come up, considering it took nearly another 10 years for the company to even mention it. The streak might have existed on paper, but The Streak was not even close to being a thing at that time (which is probably why Diesel was even considered for the win... he'd already been pushed so hard that a "win for the ages" would have been a wasted booking.)
@3:50 that looks like Kerry Von Erich, maybe a one off appearance for one of the warriors eccentric demands and they just sent Kerry out in his place. I'm not saying the full run but maybe a one off from Kerry, who knows
Back during the Attitude and Ruthless Agression era, I couldn’t wait to tune in for their programs. Since the PG crap started, I have not even watch their programs anymore except checking out some highlights every now and then at youtube. They should also develop and groom a young talent and see if they can build another major star on the level like the likes of Austin, Rock or Triple H. When Cesaro was getting over with his Cesaro Swing move, they held him back and told him to stop using it. Pretty dumb as he was getting over geniunely with the crowd unlike some guys which the company pushes to the moon with no success.
When Bruno Samartino held the world title for so many years it seemed to mean something, but now you hear of these young wrestlers that have been world champion 5 times, or one I heard on YT, a wrestler who had been tag team champion 22 times. It seems to have lost any value when people hold a title for just a few days. But at least everyone gets to be champion.
The Underfaker who fulled in as Undertaker's imposter double is actually Undertaker's real-life cousin, Brian Lee Harris. Kane's imposter counterpart, for whatever reason, is current WWE superstar and one-third of Balor Club, Luke Gallows, who supposedly played the Kane's Double role as his first WWE gig for a time before being packaged as Festus.
I'm surprised they didn't go over the biggest rumor of them all on how/why Warrior was replaced, involving underage Latvians, a disgruntled crew of a Coast Guard cutter, an unpaid strip joint tab, an un-checked Faberge Egg addiction and the Gobbledy Gooker.
I stopped watching after the montreal screwjob bit. There's no doubt whatsoever that that was a work. All it takes is actually going back and watching the bret hart story arc leading up to that event (it's literally a year of "being screwed" and being mad at vince) to see how obvious it is that it was a work.
Not to mention the "documentary" that had unprecedented access, fed right into the story line and literally aired just before the PPV. If that's not enough, If it was a shoot, How is it the camera just happened to catch spitting in the bosses face. Also for the people saying things like Brett wouldn't lie and such. Brett is old school and has worked with some of the best including the "King" of a work people thought was a shoot, Jerry Lawler.
Vince took one hell of a martyr's shot in his office after the fact. If it was a work, HBK did his best acting in that moment after the match when Bret confronted him, that was the most intense "real" locker room tension I've ever seen, and then when Bret's wife called HBK and HHH out right there pointing her finger in their face? I hadn't seen anything that convincing in WWF/E up to that point, nor since. They threw Kayfabe to the wind if that was a work (ironic) at a time that Vince was still HUGE on keeping Kayfabe intact.
Mark(aka the undertaker) admitted he truly wanted Randy Orton to win over him at Wrestle Mania but apparently Vince wasn’t having that. Apparently he’d thought about retiring at around that time.
Hulk what happened to your eye? Hulk: Ever been to the Florida Keys brother? I’m on one of those expensive jet skies that Bret Hart could never afford and BAM...
have i ever seen a lazier video? usually an excellent channel, here is a video of stuff that has been discussed ad nauseum by anyone who would be clicking on this
The last one with undertaker streak was actually truth. Many WWF stars were suppose to beat undertaker. Undertaker himself wanted the streak to end before it got going. However Vince constantly change his mind to allow undertaker to win and creating the streak.
Bear in mind in the early 90s most fans were not smartened up and were unable to distinguish between the Megapowers' breakup and the real life private lives of the three artists involved - and real life imitating art didn't help.
I remember a Macho Man My Space page that had explicit details about what he did to Stephanie. Not sure if it was really his page or a crazed fan but that story has been out there for a long time.
when it comes to dead wrestlers if they aren't in the hall of fame, it's because they need content for every year not just the next induction ceremony. It's a sad though, but it is a business still.
I heard of those stories - Shawn Michaels getting up in Syracuse, New York, and also, not to disrespect Macho Man Randy Savage, as he is now deceased, but of his alleged affair with the boss's daughter
Even if Stephanie actually discusses the allegation, she’d never admit to the thing everyone wants to know about it (was the relationship actually consummated when Stephanie was underage) because it’d be a huge fiasco.
With Hogan and the black eye - Jim Ross had announced that Hogan had got mugged before his arrival to Wrestlemania meaning robbed in REAL life. He had said that on air and nobody thought it was part of any story.
We want to see the hitman Bret Hart come make some appearances on WWE Monday night Raw and so.e appearances on WWE Tuesday night Smack down Live : soon this year we all want to see the hitman
AWA was better than WWF/WWE can ever hope to be, The ludicrous gimmicks (wrestling Elvis impersonators, mounties Chippendale dancers, voo doo priests, etc. etc.) turned it from a sport to a goofy spectacle.
Yes but the macho Man wasn't inducted until after he was dead and after Steve Austin put Vince McMahon on the spot on his show on his podcast he put him on the spot about the macho Man being inducted
4:30 also he came back thinner due to stopped steriods, but he looks nothing like warrior, I still think that wasn't him, hes whole routine is off. I wonder this is why he took the name warrior so he could sue anyone in the future doing that again.
I don't know how much of it is true but once I heard a legend which said Mick Foley wasn't the real Mankind and instead there was a different guy of that mankind character but on a dark match with Kane he died for some reason with burns probably... and the Mankind gimmick was given to Mick Foley
