Another Sad Legends Show - World Wrestling Legends -  

The problem with the Kanyon bit was they didn't use the only guy in the industry with the empathy and tact to handle such a segment....Scott Steiner

DDP asking Kanyon if he’s gay has to be the most hilarious and yet awkward question to ever ask and in a live show no less

5:10 after that you not only get to come to the cookout but you got a spot on the family reunion 😂👏🏾😂

Nailed that “Mr Jones” tone, my dude. Excellently done.

That Mr. Jones song break was incredible! You've got some pipes Brian!

"He's Bobby Heenan! He can do whatever he wants!" The truest words in the world of wrestling ever uttered.

DDP's promo was a little ham fisted, but it looked like Kanyon may have asked him shortly before the match to do it. DDP was helping his friend, and I admire him for that.

There's just something about a guy with a Jersey accent asking "Are you gay!?" That immediately triggers alarms in your head.

I always appreciate when you review these old random events they're always so obscure lol.

I'm just happy to see Big Hoss McGraw enjoying his muffin. Hopefully, he's finally gotten over The Mauve.

To the people who are surprised at Brian Zane’s singing ability, have you NOT seen his music videos?!

DNA did get a WWE developmental stint in FCW around 2008. Wrestled under the name “The Giant Titan”. Got released in about a year and the wrestled the indies until about 2014. Only reason I know that is because he was a mainstay in Traditional Championship Wrestling, my nearby indy promotion growing up.

Ok that Mr. Jones bit was pretty good you seriously have a good voice Brian. Also happy that you're gonna be apart of Starrcast!

DNA probably looked at all that and realized where he might end up in his twilight wrestling years and went, "Nope. I'm good." If they'd promoted it less as a wCw tribute and more a legends tribute, as the organization title implies, it might have gone over better. Plus, it did seem like there was enough there for Jimmy to attempt to follow up on, but it eventually fizzled out. Quite the gig for Starrcast. Congrats!

You belted that Mr. Jones so well. I’m telling you if you made a solo record, it would be a hit.

'Booted him in the taint' what an iconic line. Thanks for unearthing this gem, Bryan.

That poster with John Cena for "Han Fistedly and the Planet of Surprise Roll-ups" had me spitting out my drink. That was hilarious! This is why you are my favorite wrestling RU-vid channel. Keep up the great work BZ!

Good god almighty that DDP & Kanyon segment came out of nowhere

Sorry, you don't pull off a pretty good shot at Billy Paul's 'Me and Mrs. Jones' and not release a seperate video of you covering that song. Give it to me, Brian. GIVE ME WHAT I WANT!

Haha oh damn. I was just watching your Promotion Graveyard playlist and was not expecting a new entry! And uhhh what a mystifying episode. This isn't quite Herb Abrams level but definitely one of the stranger entries. Happy to see Kanyon coming out but you would wish it happened in TNA or Japan so that people would have seen it

Brian Knobbs was a TV judge on a show called Trailer Court Justice at the time this came out, hense the choice to call him Judge Knobbs.

5:10 legit had me in tears. Well done Mr. Zane. I didn't know you had those kind of chops in you.

How can you not make a "NEVER DREW A DIME" joke during a match featuring Mike Graham.

Also, To all those people that thought “Greg Valentine? Why did they let that 80 Year old into the Ring?” He was 55 when this show happened.

Damn, my dude - I was NOT expecting that Me And Mrs Jones break, that gave me goosebumps - which is not something I expect from wrestling content! Absolutely love it ❤️

5:09 Billy Paul must've been teary-eyed in his grave. I'm impressed, Zane. :) I was expecting a Counting Crows-impression but Brian Zane's Billy Paul-impression was top-notch.

"In the span of one minute DDP goes from wanting to kill this guy to are you gay, bro." Classic lol

18:20 HOLY SHIT! Ric Flairs Last Match ever! I remember still his fourth Last Match ever, that was grand

Well Brian you are officially the first person to reference Me and Mrs. Jones in a wrestling video. I'm proud of you.

Canyon coming out was done as tastefully as I could've expected from a wrestling show in the 2000s. It also confirms how cool of a dude DDP is in real life. This was also the biggest stage that would've let Canyon come out besides probably ROH It was only a year earlier that John Cena was calling people gay as an insult and years before that bullshit stigma around gay people subsided in wrestling. It was way out of left field, and they should've been a tag team and it should've happened after they won, but I doubt they cared about the booking on the show.

Well at least Cornette was on commentary. Say what you will about his thoughts on wrestling, the guy could talk a mile a minute while he was a manager and it was always entertaining.

Literally here after hearing of the passing of Virgil just to hear Mister Jones one more time. 😢

"I think he booted him in the taint!" is the greatest call in history.

The "recent" wrestling footage from Memphis (mentioned around 6:30 minutes in) was actually from an early to mid 2000s Memphis wrestling promotion called... Memphis Wrestling. Promoted by Corey Maclin (with Jerry Lawler's fingerprints all over it) the promotion aired in the classic 10AM Memphis timeslot and was partly responsible for the Clash of Legends show from about a year after this event. A show mostly remembered for the Hogan/Paul Wight match. Memphis Wrestling also had a weird storyline where the promotion feuded with... XWF. In 2004.

Im so Happy Promotion graveyard segment returns

Woah nice timing you added the ric Flair last match card at the right time Also Jeff Jarrett is having a great time Flair last oponent and the summerslam role

I've been subbed for idk how long, but that Mr(s) Jones rendition deserves a second sub

"Wow, what a party animal!" had me laughing quite hard. 😂🤘

Jake Roberts in the thumbnail looks like Carl from ATHF w/ a wig on

12:52 Talk about whiplash....holy crap I was *NOT* ready for that!

Wrestling With Wregret- I haven't seen this episode in a long time & I complete forgot about what was said around 2:32-2:40/2:40-2:44. I'm gonna harbor a wild guess & say Mirabalis Ventures merged with another company & got bought out, merged with another company & are still in business, or, they folded & went out of business. No, I didn't skip ahead to the end of the video, before anybody says anything...

I remember all these nostalgia shows in the early and mid 00s and other than the first one night stand, which was amazing, they all were varying degrees of not good. But it was nice to see some of the guys get another payday.

The Graham Funk Railroad is an AMAZING name for a tag team.

Every time I see Vamp I always think of the way ICP pronounced his name when they did commentary for his matches. Vampeeerooo. I see I'm not the only one, Brian seems to remember it too.

Thanks for giving me excelent Question for Drive Thru have to ask Jim if he remembers this sht 🤣

This pay-per-view had nothing to do with WCW Saturday Night! It was more of an NWA tribute show. But this review made it perfect. You are awesome Brian!

"Disco Inferno, one of wrestlings greatest barnacles" is right up there with the Cody roast

Announcing Flair's last match after doing a review of "another sad legends show"? In hindsight, this is absolutely hilarious XD

The Graham Funk Railroad 10/10

Mirabillis ended up going through some type of controversy that ended in them closing down as a result or better yet this wrestling show was it’s final chance to get some money in but it failed so it closed down anyway

I worked with the show Rollins owned down in Orlando, Russ was trained by John Tenta and Hacksaw for his (three?) matches he had with FCW's top heel - can't remember his name. I didn't know about this before watching this episode, so thanks Brian!

Boy was Brian right about everyone talking about Flair's last match XDXD

Ok I love DDP again. I never disliked him and the diamond cutter was always my favorite finisher thanks to him and I was on edge involving his cult leader persona he's been cultivating lately. He had good intentions but having seen enough of that stuff I recognize the red flags and was very leery of him. But I love DDP again, that had major "cool uncle from a different generation still loving his gay nephew and telling his old school family to back off of him" energy. And I absolutely am here for it.

bagwells bad attitude was the reason he was wrestling in nostalgia matches at only 34 years old.

It's so AWESOME that you get to host Saraya's show at Starrcast! Good for you man!

2006, back when everyone had an Energy Drink

The song break alone is worth a 1000 likes! ❤️👍 Stay you Zane!!!

Kanyon: I'll have the tuna and bacon club sandwich. Toasted wheat for the bread. Pickle on the side. Potato salad instead of fries. DDP: Bro! Are you gay, bro?!

R.I.P Virgil 😢😢

DNA looks like mix between Rhino and white Shanky with all the motivation of Kevin Nash pre quad tare, post come down.

DNA looks like the created wrestler I made in wrestling revolution

omg the f'n DDP Smells like team spirit immediately after the it's cool that you are gay hug is iconic.

12:15 I was actually wondering if he was related to Burt Macklin, FBI.

Lmao now every time you mention Virgil in a video, you have to hit the "Mr. Jones" jingle

Frank Amodeo’s story is certifiably insane. The Absolute Madlads video on him is great.

DNA was Titan in TCW and had a brief run in WWE developmental.

Have fun at Starrcast! Hosting Saraya’s piece sounds awesome. You’re gonna do great!

This was certainly not the place where I would wait to hear that sweet DIAMONNNNNNNNND CUTTTTTTTEEEERRRRRR so big thumbs up BZ. Mr.Jones almost topped that but only almost...

Wait, is that DNA fellow Mike Jarvi? Was in FCW for a cup of coffee but stuck around the Florida indies for some time.

The "Judge Knobbs" thing is almost definitely because he had shot a pilot for a show called "Trailer court justice" around this time. It was a court show with Knobbs as judge. THIS IS NOT A JOKE.

As soon as I saw Jake Roberts in the thumbnail, I knew that we were going to be in for a ride. This was Jake when he was still in the middle of his post-2nd WWE run (i.e. Heroes of Wrestling and Beyond the Mat)/pre-DDP Yoga/Resurrection of Jake "The Snake" trainwreck phase.

I say the same thing about my friends when Im their wingman, "He's very fresh and healthy"

Oh I love how vacant and his brother became regular characters

Is there a better opening for any RU-vid channel than the Wrestling with Wregret Rap open? I think not. Your cut scenes and reactions to the DDP / Kanyon stuff was LEGENDARY.....

Damn Brian, you waited a while to bust out the singing voice, and likely surprised most of us in the process! Well done!

this may be the only time anyone has ever compared Virgil with the Steiner Brothers. You earned that upthumb, sir.

Perfect timing just finished a movie and then I get notified of a new WWW video!

12:37 I've seen worse, more violent falls in wrestling, but something about the way he bounces off the table and lands on the ground just made me go "Youch."

I’m currently watching this on my PS4 but I had to comment on my phone after I heard “Thunder Quality Match”. (Fuckin’ Hilarious) Just another reason why this is the BEST wrestling channel on YT.

The way my fucking face contorted at 12:55. Even with Brian setting up that a left turn was coming I wasn't expecting things to go flying off the cliff like that

When people online used to say “Why didn’t WWE do a WCW One Night Stand?” Now I know why

I was at this show. I was working mainly the Florida indies at the time and can add some perspective. A friend and I were guests of some friends of Dory and Marti that night and sat on the bleachers next to the stage. The show was so disjointed. I asked for and got one of Jimmy's energy drinks sitting on the announce desk. The main event with the radio guy was putrid. Bobby was so happy to be there and the "I hear you're gay" mention, you could legit hear somebody say "HUH, well SHIT" in the crowd. I got to hang around and take the ring down since we realized we knew the guys who rented the ring. I hung out next to the elevator (Talent/legends were upstairs) and just shook hands, waiting for the Midnights, Tully, JJ and Bobby. Just to see that talent was the gimmick. I can't say I wouldn't do it again lol

fun fact. as if 2020 wasnt a weird enough year i saw the steiner brothers and dory funk in a 6 man tag against 3 local guys at a local show at my high school put on by dory and his wrestling school here in my hometown. dory didn't take any bumps needless to say. fever dream and the first ever wrestling event i ever went to

Midnight Express having the match of the night, shocker

5:14 Woah, i certainly was t expecting that, holy shit. I didn’t expect him to have such great pipes.

Quick: Make a "He booted him in the Taint" T-shirt before Cornette sends a cease and desist then publishing the shirt himself.

Orange Cassidy is the only guy who could pull off that Virgil ring entrance

I would of never thought a white boy singing a Me and Mrs Jones song. This made my day! Lmao!

I appreciate it when creators actually make their ads interesting. I don't just immediately skip one minute ahead. Also the David Crosby comparison got me😂

That Mr Jones ring entrance was something else. Honestly, these sort of events just makes me sad. Wrestlers passed their prime, desperate for a paycheck.

THAT WAS THE SMOOTHEST TRANSITION TO A PROMO IVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME

What better way to start the mourning with a new episode of wrestling with wregret

Am I the only one who would buy an album of *Brian Sings the Hits?*

Awesome Video Brian You're the best and lol everytime I hear 6:05 I think of Brian last screaming the Mothership 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That Page outing Kanyon thing was awkward as fuck lol

I popped for Graham Funk Railroad lol

Yo Brian Zane, I heard the rumors, and I need to know if it's true: are you a RU-vidr?!

The videos on this channel are great anyway but they're even better when Big Hoss McGraw makes an appearance!! As for the ' Mr Jones ' interlude, that was some seriously impressive singing. It's a lot better than some of the singing by people who have had big chart hits. I'm definitely not blowing smoke either.

5:10 As a fan of Billy Paul and the Philly Soul Sound all I have to say is Thank you Brian, that would make Billy Paul Proud. Also will there be a video of your experience at Starrcast? 🤞

lets be honest I seen the full episode several times of the dark side of the ring about kanyon, but I keep thinking to myself, did kanyon and DDP had to over do this? like I know kanyon wanted it to like he just wanted to come clean or be honest, but I feel like this was over booked, even doing this in a 1 off promotion like WWL 6:05 the reunion, like does anyone agree with me on this? or am I missing something here?
