WCW !!! The Monday night Wars has a very special place in my heart...Turning the channels back and forth I was very hyped for those couple hours on Mondays..
So Russ Rollins is a radio host for the show Monsters in the Morning and would have wrestlers on his show from time to time. This was actually his second match with his first being back in 2004 for TNA, where he teamed with Johnny B Badd again to beat Frankie Kazarian, and The Amazing Red
I would say you're correct about David Flair, he had to literally learn on the job and he admitted later he really just wanted to be around his dad. Hearing him say that on the 30 for 30 really messed me up.
Something about the video quality makes it look like a video game for some reason. I keep thinking you're showing another game clip for a moment before noticing it's actually real.
I can explain Eddie "Primo" Colón. Son of Carlos Colón, he traveled NWA territories whil being a minority owner of World Wrestling Council (aka Capitol Sport Promotions) in Puerto Rico at the same time.
Of course cause WWE can get all the big name stars to appear. Mostly all the big names and the cruiserweights came after the invasion angle in 2002 and 2003
Couldn't see bret hart coming to a wcw reunion even if u paid him all the money in the world unless he just came there to bad mouth the company, bischoff and goldberg
Loved this video. Greg the Hammer Valentine was contracted to WCW. Superfly was in at least one episode of nitro or thunder as the old age outlaws. Russo and shiz 😂😂😂 Please do more WCW 🙏
Correct. Greg Valentin was early on WcW. He refused to put surfer Sting over and walked out. And I remember Snuka coming off the cage to squash Chosen One Jeff Jarrett in later day WcW.
@@brianbradley8631 You're correct, he dived onto Jarrett at the same time as Benoit did a diving headbutt to him. So Jarrett took two moves from guys diving off of a cage at the same time. One of those guys had murdered a woman named Nancy years earlier and gotten away with it. The other would go on to murder a woman named Nancy years later.
Obviously Kanyon and DDP had prepared that moment. If it was forced then he would not have done the speech after. Kanyon obviously wanted to admit to it in a ring after all the trouble he has had hiding his sexuality for years.
@@ChrisTombstone82 yes it is i was at the show dna is a local guy real name mike jarvi that am friends with lauchasaurus name is austin , this show was flimed before he even started wrestling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wrestling_Legends luchasurus started wrestling in 2009 this was in 2006
Agreed. Kamala I believe had even earlier years in UK wrestling, where he was one of the MOST mobile top guys! Our wrestling main event was not very mobile. At all. 😂 Search for the Big Daddy v Giant Haystacks blow off match after a ten year feud on RU-vid if you want to see why British wrestling came to an end 😂😂
@@arostwocents Yes I was always jealous of the USA with having such huge great wrestling shows like Wrestlemania and we were stuck with Big Daddy, Bouncing wrestlers off of his stomach. We had a lot of good talent here but for some reason Big Daddy dominated the whole thing.
Can u imagine Coco n ware disco inferno Rikishi The funksaurus Too cold Scorpio (who's an EXTREMELY underrated wrestler who was light years ahead of his time) And r truth In a 3 way tag team match ........ That match would be pretty awful
I would agree with you on the David Flair argument, if not for one thing. That one things name is Charlotte Flair. Charlotte Flair succeeded where David Flair failed.
That Mike Jones or Virgil or whoever, I've been watching wcw nitro every Friday for 14 month and have never seen him wrestle yet, i started streaming 1997, he just stands around in an nwo shirt.
Yeah Hacksaw became a Canadian sympathiser in WcW around 2000, joining Lance Storm's heel Team Canada faction. Not Duggans finest hour but it gave the aging grappler a storyline and tv time.
Very nice review of this show! I will definitely check it out! I wonder if Jim Cornette has a copy that isn’t missing the matches that you couldn’t find. He seems to have everything 😂
I love what you say about work application and Ric's kid but let's be honest the rest of others with Horseman connections shouldn't of been in this match either
Looks like a fun show. Obviously the big players couldn't attend but they still had some name value at least ( you gotta take what you can get sometimes)
Crazy!! Not known this show existed, yet seen Kanyon's outing. I lived for WCW, taped every Nitro & PPV regardless of safety to myself & others (racing home way over speed limits in all weather to hit that VHS record button). I remember how nuts it was when WCW came to our State, two shows sold out in under 60 minutes. Damn, I miss them times!
I just watched a wcw thunder episode from 2000 and it was sting vs Scott Steiner in the main event and for some reason Jeff Jarret interfered then booker t interfered wearing sting ring gear and face paint I’m like WTF is this and when did this bullshit happen 😂😂
