Frankly I preferred "I don't care if your some suit fighter" a guy who fights suits! I know he said shoot or meant shoot but I had to rewind the video and check again
He's always in the last place you look, but I guess that goes for anything, I mean why would you keep looking for something if you had found it already
i remember watching all three episodes when they first aired in 2000. A decade later I could find no evidence this promotion ever existed online and was under the impression I had imagined the whole thing.
Haha. Yeah I saw and taped all 3 episodes and assumed it had gone under in week 4. I was 13 and this is when I was obsessed with wrestling then. I liked it because it was different for the time. I always wondered what happened to Stan lane
Maybe a kick ass serious stable would gave worked? Jim Cornette as manager/mouth peice... Dan Severn, Lance Storm... Idk who else would have fit that bill... Knowing Corny he probably would have tried to bring in the Bodies again...
Schiavone hasn't done commentary in decades, he is relearning the job. He is actually still quite good though, even though I will agree Tazz is better.
WXO is kinda like the wrestling show that you came across when you surf the tv channels after the commercial break, you watch it for 5 minutes and then go back to watch some game show. Weird but okay to watch.
Me too. Some of these he’s talked about I knew of and others (like this, the kids wrestling promotion, and that one with Dennis Rodman) 8m just hearing about for the first time.
Sad that he always become a joke in America, Both by his owndoing and his voice, role. Because he actually great as a wrestler in Japan. Why didn't he settle down at here after he retired as a wrestler and became some producer at Japan Wrestling ?
@@thehorrorhound6575 unlike Dan Savern, Brock Lesnar has a reason for sounding the way he does. He once said he accidentally ate a worm when he was a kid.
After WXO folded, Al Green returned to WCW as "The Dog". He was in a group with Fit Finlay and Brian Knobs. He was a last minute replacement for Sabu, who couldn't return to WCW due to contract issues.
Just a thought, I wouldn’t mind seeing a retrospective on Barry Darsow one day. The man has been around for years, and still to this day wrestles every now and then. He has memorable gimmicks for days (for better or worse). Demolition Smash, Repo Man, Stuart Payne, Big Black Bully Cock, etc... I just think it would make for an interesting video.
@@CharizardMaster69 well actually if you listen to some of cultaholic's podcast they do mention adam a couple of times , they still talk to him in real life and they're still in good terms
I literally got a recommendation for their first show on youtube last month. I found a playlist of their 3 shows shortly after. I made it through the first episode. Wouldn't recommend it.
@@AliSubhi-xs4rn Exalt this martyr in the highest of regards. I found the first show unshakably mediocre. There just wasn't enough bad to it to be entertaining for me.
Your 'dead promotions' videos are always my favorite and this was no exception. Looking forward to the day you cover the UWA (Urban Wrestling Alliance) from this same time period.
That abberivation sounds like it came out of an Japanese wrestling game with no promotion license. Talking of which, Riki Choshu's Fighting of World Japan Pro Wrestling could be a good Promotion Graveyard content.
@@elneco4654 Lol, they just reinterpreted two of the biggest Japanese Wrestlers ever, as if they could be bothered with such small details, makes the whole fiasco even funnier
The Bodies were Ace Steel and Danny Dominion, of Steel Dominion Wrestling out of Chicago I think? They did a bunch of local shows in StPaul/Minneapolis in the late nineties that I attended. A very young CM Punk came out of that promotion.
Darsow during that Priceline commercial reminded me of when the TV from the Brave Little Toaster was being over the top trying to get Master's attention about going to Ernie's Disposal.
Thank you for doing this video. I honestly thought I had imagined watching an episode of WXO many years ago. Thanks for the evidence that I didn't somehow make this promotion up in a fever dream or something.
ace steel is the guy in the tag team that helped train cm punk. he is a great talent that wrestled quite a bit in the midwest with his biggest matches being in iwa midsouth for ian rotten
Y'know it's promotions like WXO that make me realize how good AEW was when it was getting going. Not saying it's bad now btw, but they had to be really, really good to get the TV deal and keep themselves on air for longer than a few tapings.
I remember seeing this show around Sunday 6:00am on WB 20 when I lived in Oakland California in 2000 or something like that. I forgot about them because they weren't on the air for too long. And when I turned the TV on and the show was on the air, it was more for background noise, while I was making a cup of coffee.
Great video Brian, can't believe I'd never even heard of them. Surely it must finally be time for a retrospective on XPW! Between New Jack trying to kill Vic Grimes; The ECW Heatwave invasion and Rob Black "allegedly" paying people to cut off Messiah's thumb, you wouldn't be short of talking points!
Also, nice to see Billy Fives and Scoot Andrews have somewhat of a career resurgence several years ago when they were on Ring Warriors. I knew they were familiar from somewhere.
In my honest opinion, a family-friendly alternative to the big three promotions of the Monday Night Wars is exactly what Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett's United States Wrestling Association should have been.
Days before the 2011 Slammy Awards CM Punk: What can I ad to my montage in order to hummilliate John laurinaitis Whats this WXO, Hey johnny its there Laurinaitis:"If You Don't Got It, Get It! If You Don't Get It... Figure It Out!" Cm punk: this is gold
I remember watching this in college and being profoundly bored and yet fascinated. In that sense it was a little like the wrestling version of Book TV on CSPAN.
90s and early 2000s: “We’re here to provide a wholesome, family friendly alternative to the edgy Attitude Era.” Today: “We’re here to provide an edgy alternative to the family friendly WWE.”
