I love this series can’t wait for us to go backwards from 1997-1989 anything from 1983-1988 only has Starrcade as PPV
Oh 1995 is gonna be a fucking TREAT
Honestly, I think that “tag team partners have a match and the winner keeps the titles and gets to pick a new partner because they’re having a falling out“ is a pretty good idea that could’ve worked somewhere besides WCW.
Would be a lot more interesting than the lose the title than immediately implode story that's the norm in wrestling. At least the first five times it's trotted out.
Y’all were already my favorite channel, but Pacitti nailing the frank Stallone bit is truly next level.
What was this in reference to?

RIP WCW
We miss you

F the haters
Lie on the internet to seem cool 😎
It sucked
@@cmpunk44901 Now in your opinion it sucked but it actually was good not all the time but when it was it ruled the wrestling world but hey your opinion is your opinion like what you like but don't be a di@#
@@Dr_1212 coming from you that's laughable
@@Deltrottersvan Stalking crap talking copying parody pu!@# aka bs wrestling novice 🤣😂😆
19:19 a funny gag merch idea would be selling that bag of beans, and when you open that bag, each bean will have the name "gullible" on it.
A lot of people like to dunk on him and it is deserved now based on his bad takes on Busted Open, but if you go back and watch Nitro's and PPV's from that time you'll see Disco Inferno was actually very over with the crowd and always got strong reactions for his matches. He was a solid midcard hand throughout the late 90's til the end for WCW.
Hot take, but Booker I think should have won the WCW title in 98, to see if it would give the company a much needed shot in the arm. He was putting on banger matches and made the TV title feel more important then the WCW Title
WCW didn't need a shot in the arm in 98. They did in 2000 though. And nobody thought that the TV title was more important than the WHC.
No not 1998
Hot take: Nash beating Goldberg is only seen as a bad move because the Fingerpoke happened 8 days later. It was the right move because they were booking Goldberg horribly during his title reign.
If it wasn’t DDP getting the belt, Nash was the next best thing.
Billy Kidman was so underrated! He deserves to be in the WWE HOF!
100% he does.
UnFun Fact: Karl Malone is/was the biggest real life heel in the main event.
Yep😐
What did he do?
@@camerondalton1495 you dont knw huh.
Ok: he had relationship with a 13 year old(is true)
@@thecodester6669
Most wrestling fans are southern hicks. They aspire to be Karl malone.
@@AT-il2eji just said the truth of that fact. But just like malone. Well. So that means, awesome at basketball, date a minor, win a championship and make tv. That sounds like him
We want every ppv of 2023 ranked from worst to best please
Wait until January
@cultaholic
Can you guys do this for every year wcw was around. I’d be your biggest fan 🤣
I swear, it's seriously like nobody involved with the company cared ANYTHING about giving fans a good show!!!
Wait a second....breaking news....THEY DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!
I was at this WW3…. It was fun when I was 9😂 but looking back now
It’s so bad
WCW is explained perfectly at this pay-per-view. There was two rings yet they were wrestling in the ring with the trap door
Goldberg’s title reign was a result of WCW not knowing what to do with him and WWE catching up and eventually passing them in the ratings. They only had him beat Hogan to pop a rating. It’s no coincidence that every PPV after that is ranked on the bottom half of this list
someones been watching reliving the war
And the content just keeps flowing, thanks lads 👍
Don't know how true this is, but I heard Vince only didn't show up at Slamboree because it was the same day as Stephanie's graduation from college.
Wow a “You guessed it, Frank Stallone” thrown in? Damned great writing, that
It's a shame nobody at Cultaholic has been watching Reliving the War and they still spout off WWE's revisionist history when it comes to Goldberg. Outside of the DDP match, his run with the belt was booked horribly and he started to essentially be a part time wrestler, while Nash was arguably as over as Goldberg at the same time. The pop when Kevin Nash beats Goldberg should be the nail in the coffin on the argument that it was a bad call
They make content by smarks for smarks.
@TheSkyatollah Well then, no need for you to see it, right?
Also, they weren't spouting any revisionist history. They did talk about how Goldberg was barely being booked at all despite being world champion and they've criticized the Nash victory many times. So I don't see what the criticism is for.
I remember a lot of these pay per views....I watched a lot of them...I was always a wcw fan...for a long long time I couldn't watch WWE...I only was able to watch nwa and later wcw...so I was a stinger...not a hulkamaniac...I used to get so angry cause when Hogan first came to wcw...sting had to take a back seat to the hulkster and I didn't like it...slamboree was an interesting ppv...it shoulda been a lot better than it was...a lot like Halloween havoc...ddp v raven...Benoit v Finlay...Bret Hart v macho man was good but shoulda been so much better...it was over way too fast...and the main event was entertaining at the time...now days it seems stupid and it was...back then it wasn't so stupid to me...Nash was bringing hall back...to defend the tag titles against sting and the giant...giant then joins nwo Hollywood...so we had a wcw guy and a nwo Hollywood guy challenging the wolfpacks hall and Nash...then hall turned on Nash...and yeah it was a whole big deal back then...uncensored 98 shoulda been much better than it was... Hogan v savage....hall v sting...Nash v giant...lex luger v Scott Steiner...Bret hart v curt hennig...and the best match on that card...the triple threat no dq match for us title ddp v raven v Benoit was to this day one of the best matches I have ever watched in my life...but wcw had a lot of great ppv cards that just didn't do what they shoulda did....
DDP has to be WCWs MVP of 1998
Unfun fact , following somone else, war games was 5 v 5 so it was changed before the 3v3v3 also they were far more than 1 a year when it was introduced
Great video!!!!
My question is, they had 2 rings, one with a trap door, and they didnt make sure everyone else wrestled in the OTHER one?
It's wrestling bro 😉
Lol yea terrible decision all around
please do a TNA version of these lists
This was the last good year for WCW.
Bash at beach was an awesome ppv
Lol, "Never change WCW change." I don't believe you have anything to worry about then.
I’m not getting the Raven/Frank Stallone joke
Figures that the best PPVs were at the beginning of the year
The fact that WW3 had two advertised high profile PPV matches not happen is ridiculous.
At Least Every WWF PPV In 1998 Was Wayyy Better Except For Rockbottom And Judgment Day 1998.
Am I crazy or does this guy work a whatculuture too
Cultaholic, Luchas de Apuestas (mask/hair wager matches) are a huge part of Lucha Libre tradition. Countless wrestlers have lost their masks or had their heads shaven as a result of them. Claiming that Eric Bischoff was somehow disrespecting tradition by putting on matches with gimmicks steeped in tradition makes no sense whatsoever. Eric himself has even had his head shaved on multiple occasions!
If you really want an example of a promoter disrespecting Lucha traditions, see Vince McMahon forcing Rey Mysterio to start wearing masks again after he had lost it. In Lucha tradition, once you lose your mask you can never put it back on. Vince didn't care about that though, he just wanted to cash in on merch sales.
"“Prior to coming to WWE, I was in OVW training, which was a week prior to my debut and the office wanted to see the gear I wanted to use. When I showed it to them, I had no mask. They were like, ‘Where is the mask?’ ‘Well, I lost the mask.’ In Lucha Libre, if you lose the mask, you never put it back on. They were like, ‘No, Vince wants you to come back with the mask.’" - Óscar Gutiérrez Rubio (Rey)
I’m sleepy an read this as Every WCPW PPV Ranked. That’s not this. Maybe you can Forbidden Door some sh* with them for one in the future.
1998 was the year i gave up on WCW and stopped flipping back and forth from Raw to Nitro
WWE was garbage in 98.
@@namikstudiosSays barely anyone. Sure, stuff hasn't aged very well, but it was by no means garbage.
WCW is the cool federation
10:27 Generous to think that Disco Inferno ever had 2 fans…
Disco was far more over than most midcarders ever are.
The same Adam Pacitti years ago said that Disco was underrated and actually quite over. Then Disco decides the world needs his awful opinions, and all of a sudden nobody ever liked him ever.
I'm surprised they actually got the rights to name a ppv World War 3 especially since there was two actual wars fought under the name World War which most of these men's fathers or grandfathers had fought in
Rank 2023 ppvs worst from best
98 should have been the year the Hogans Flairs Savages and so on started bringing up the Pages Bookers Jerichos Benoits to the main events. Also Raven as a world champ would have done great businness. I sometime wonder where WCW would be if the top of the card were better team players.
You're talking about Hogan.
I hear you though for me those gentlemen should have rained in the 2000s ideally. 98 should have been about sting and Goldberg and then killing the nwo ✌️🕊️
@@michaeldennistooley4271 I wasn't even talking about giving them reigns in 98 more so start to prepare them for main events let Jericho beat Nash (as one example) so we'd see the older generation moving aside so the younger generation so to speak can really get that shine Even if there was Nitro or two where the established guys didn't show or do mostly backstage skits/interviews and let the upper mid carders do most of the wrestling so we could glimpse the future
How much for those beans?
1998 in WCW was the last good year in wrestling.
Didn't get the raven joke🤦🏿♂️🤣
A vast majority of the matches on all these PPVs really belonged on Nitro not on a PPV. WCW really did have awful booking all-around.
Youve actually never did a royal rumble ppv ranked?
I don’t get it, this portrays 98 as being an awful year for WCW when it was its greatest year for viewership. Every episode of Nitro was like a ppv 😝 I can’t be the only one who thought this.
It was a “great” year because they were still beating the WWF the year started. The 83 Week streak ended this year for many reasons
Easy Pacitti, Buffer is very lawsuit happy....
lol Kevin Greene and Dennis Rodman are better wrestlers than Kevin Nash.
Nash was just popular but wasn't that much of a better wrestler than Goldberg, none of his title reigns was memorable
@@shady3legend I think Goldberg was better. He had a more varied moveset
Watching this list makes me sad to be reminded of the completely forgettable and underwhelming WCW run of Bret Hart
I always say and I'm not wrong that late WCW was the worst thing ever and WCW in the 2000s didn't help either
Come back wcw
22:46
It's demolition dErby, not demolition darby. Leave the wish version of Mankind out of this. Nobody gives a fuck about the jobbers working for Dixie Khan in jobberville anyway.
Why does everyone hate Disco Inferno
Because he has trash opinions and it's easy to pretend someone you hate for reasons unrelated to his talents is less talented than he is.
Vince = clown. Credit WCW till the end for keeping poise.
My ex husband was at the wcw invasion of Raw.
Dang bro got divorced just for being close to the invasion.
Looks like it time to 💩 on the past again!
Because jealousy!
(As people actually watched wrestling back then, during a ACTUAL boom period; not this fictional one where nobody's watching).
Was watching at this time, a lit of these shows were shit my dude.
Are you doing ok my guy. Seem a bit upset
Cultaholic, please do some research and learn a bit about the industry before pumping out yet another WCW bashing effort like this. Stick to marking out over whatever garbage WWE is serving up these days and leave the peak of the industry alone. Wrestling has never been as good as it was in WCW from 96-99. Even the worst WCW PPV in 98 is better than anything WWE has ever produced.
Every time you guys make a WCW video, you prove none of you actually watched WCW and just go by whatever popular internet opinion is.
Yeah. WCW Is The Most Overly-Criticized Company In History. WWE Both During Their Peak & At Their Worst Made Far Far Far More Mistakes Than WCW. WCW's Peak Year Criticisms Are Mostly Wrongfully And Are Dumb Opinions. WCW Peak Spring Of 1996-Spring Of 1999. The WWE Attitude Era Flaws In Each Year And There Are Worst Ranked Wrestlemanias, Summerslams, Royal Rumbles, Survivor Series & King Of The Rings. There's Not One Article/Video In The Worst Rated Starrcade, SuperBrawl, Halloween Havoc, Great American Bash Nor Any Of WCW Pay Per Views, Just The 10 Worst WCW Pay Per Views. As For The WWE Worst Pay Per Views In History, It Coukd Be 200 On The List. There's A WWE Top 10 Worst Pay Per Views Of The Attitude Era. I Know There Are More Than 10. There's Not One 10 Worst WCW Pay Per Views Of The NWO Era And It's Even Not A Top 10 Worst WCW Pay Per Views Of The Monday Night Wars.
True words. Brain washed
