STW  

I wouldn’t say all around, it was a horrendous year for the WWF, one of their worst ever. It was also shitty for WCW until they caught lightning in a bottle with the nWo and Nitro became must see TV. ECW was starting to come into its own that year as well, but the following year was one of the best years ever for all 3 companies

@@johnselwitz5362 especially Eric bischoff joining the nwo too early.

You are the hero we need for saving 4.5 minutes of my life.

Ahhh yessir 👍

Interesting

Same First time I was able to stay up so late and I remember I had a headache and slept on the living room floor all day the next day 😂

Big dip is an understatement

@@michaelpitt57 I feel your pain hahaha

@SGgaming the joys of technology back in the day lol

@@alexteasdale4599 😂 headaches gone now haha

I don't know if Bruce was apart of that show. They only seem to do the ones he was involved with

@@Zanatos9 yeah fair enough. Man they should sit and watch it though, was just surprised to see alot of other ppvs around the time have been covered. Bret v Perfect a standout. Not hating here though, only love for the big man and bruce!

Bruce was fired in 91 after Mania VII a few weeks after the Warrior destroyed him on TV to write him out as a character, and he was gone until after Summerslam 92, September when he was rehired. He ended up being a top exec until his 2008 firing, AND THEN he's rehired in 2019 as the head writer of Raw AND Smackdown....

All 3x times I remember Taker had the WWF Championship in his hands till shit happens. Also it was how his mania stories were formed.

Now that you mention it, 1990s Royal Rumbles weren’t kind to Taker lol 1993: gets eliminated and attacked by Giant Gonzales who wasn’t even in the match 1994: gets screwed over by the majority of the heel roster while facing Yokozuna 1995: gets attacked by King Kong Bundy long enough for IRS and Dibiase to steal the urn 1996: gets screwed by Diesel seconds before winning the WWF championship from Bret Hart 1997: gets screwed by Paul Bearer during his match with Vader and then gets eliminated by an illegal Steve Austin during the Rumble 1998: gets screwed over by Kane during his Casket match against Shawn Michaels

"You want a finger?!!! Here's a finger!!!"

Lol

I just got to this part. 19:38

Close as Scott Hall has ever been to being in the Rumble match itself...

You could see Steve Austin do this during the PPV. He tries to get back in the ring but ref tells him otherwise and he slams his fist on the ring mat. Mr. Perfect seemed to be aware of this as you can hear him say "Wait, what happened to the Ring Master?" cutting Vince off to which Vince said "He must have been eliminated. We didn't see it. There's so much action here, at the Royal Rumble" Vince didn't seem to notice or know that Austin messed up.

Don’t contemplate it’s wrestling they set up that way has much never got ric flair vs hulk hogan wrestlemaina 8

They always called him that even before the Rumble. That was his nickname. Even other wrestlers referred to him as the Hog Farmer.

You nailed it with “tries to be funny.” The humor used to be effortless with Bruce’s upbeat attitude, his impressions and chemistry with Conrad. It’s forced now with lots of jokes only he and Conrad get. I don’t want to hear how tired Bruce is every week. I know he is and I understand he has a demanding job, but I don’t want to hear about it.

Why? The Horsemen never stayed together for long, and if they did anything comparable to the Kliq I've never heard about it.

His own podcast... The original podcast.. And about 10000 times.

Are you listening to an old one? Because this is the same rushed BS they've been putting out for months.

I was trying to be kind to them lol. But you’re right the show hasn’t been as good since bruce went back to wwe. At least this show is from a period of wrestling in interested in. I Hate the 2005 episodes

Hate the network messing with music it's why I actually cancelled my sub years ago, if you watched OG ECW the music dubs make actually unwatchable as everything is wrong Everybody in the arena dancing to here comes the hotstepper with some shitty music dubbed over, new jack run ins don't have natural born killa, no kid rock for kid kash,Dope Debonairs for Rhino,Enter Sandman,come out and play for Raven,Alice in chains for Tommy it's all just so wrong I had to download years worth of VHS rips.

@@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo I was never a fan of ECW but I can completely understand how it would ruin the experience as the music that used was an important and memorable aspect of the show. Vince needs to pay for royalties. It's not like he can't afford it.

Yep. It’s the little things like not being able to hear Voodoo Chile when Hogan comes out on Nitros from late 96 on. Just kinda kills the overall vibe and bothers anyone who knows better like myself.

2 babyfaces is usually, or at least used to be, a hard match to pull. If you notice Bret heeled it up a little in this match as it is what it needed.

@@basedelon the fans were 60/40 behind Bret at the start, mid match it became 50/50, and by the end it was like 80/20 in favor of Taker, and they switched up the face/heel dynamic from start to finish. Seemed like it was on the fly which was cool to watch

I seem to recall the next IYH PPV is what set him off with Bret Not wanting to take the powerbomb

The next ppv is when he let Vince know

@@Swoll826 Yeh, he's said numerous times that this was the tipping point. Shame how it all panned out with him leaving cos those few months of Nash tweening was sweet. Always wondered how far he'd have taken it if he'd stayed..... Especially as Austin's gimmick wouldn't have felt so fresh when it started evolving a few months later.

I think it did 🤔 lmao 🤣

Dude I know you're kidding but reality being Bruce both works for Vince AND has a sick family member lot of shit on his plate I'm just happy to get them at all regadless how long they take once it's gone it's gone.

@@WhatwouldRoddyPiperdo Yeah I know that. But I'm one of the shows biggest fans, and maybe i'm selfish and want the content we got used you in the early days.! I still love these guys.

I’m can’t wait for What Happen When someone hole got hurt

Amazing!

@@thejasons16 eliminates the ads

I agree.

Nope

its called adblocker and its free

Adblocker on your computer. Or RU-vid Vanced for mobile

I'm just SwAngaNn!!

Just drag the red dot on the time bar to skip it to the end of the video and then it'll show the next video it's about to play, but if you press the 'x' at the top right hand side of the screen. This will then show you weird circular arrow, press that to watch it from the beginning. Boom, no ads. Ps I know it sounds complicated, but honestly should take you about 5 seconds to do. Especially once you've done it once.

@@Bobby.2000 this is not working

@@FatLadyKiller works just fine for me and now (because I've told them) everyone I know who uses RU-vid. So not sure what to say. Try it again. Sometimes takes a couple of attempts.

@@Bobby.2000 didn’t work

@@TheTEAMBUTLER well it works for me and most people out there. I just did it again to test it and it worked straight away with no issues. So you must not be doing it right.
