WCW Bash at the Beach took place in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on the 11th of July 1999. World Championship Wrestling presented a tag team main event on this show; Kevin Nash and Sting vs Randy Savage and Sid Vicious. It was announced on Thunder that the WCW Heavyweight Championship belt would be on the line in this tag team match, and Sting could also win the championship if he decided to turn on champion Kevin Nash.
Elsewhere on the card The Jersey Triad defended their Tag Team championships against Perry Saturn and Chris Benoit, David Flair defended his US championship against Dean Malenko, and WCW superstars were invited to a Junkyard to compete for the WCW Hardcore Championship trophy.

"leave the wrestling to your sister, David"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
More like... "Leave the wrestling to your sister, Dave Meltzer"
I sometimes forget that Charlotte, who is one of the best female wrestlers of all time, is related to David Flair, who is... well... David Flair.
@@christosanagn.9041 Lol at best female wrestlers of all time.
Lol she sucks too
David tut mir im Nachgang leid, er war jung und versuchte sich im Business.Dann bekommt er so einen Run ohne wirklich lernen zu können.
You can’t possibly get more heat on David Flair. His cheeks are so red already that I worry he may actually ignite the atmosphere.
Dominik Mysterio gets quite a bit of heat as well. It may be more heat than X-Pac go away heat from 2000-2001
Dominick heat is the biggest heat I've ever heard. When you can't say a word on a mic without getting boo'd that's heat you could never buy.
@@bigpoppajershand it's exactly what he wants/needs
He looks like he walks up to David Schultz and calls wrestling fake before going on TV every week
Macho Man Randy Savage: smiles for a bit.
Hulk Hogan: I'm about to end this man's whole career.
David Flair is the pre-alpha early access version of Dominik Mysterio.
it's wild how that junkyard match was the end of several WCW runs at the time: Hak got injured and was let go a couple months later, Ciclope had one more dark match before leaving, and Whipwreck and Public Enemy would be gone shortly after
The seeping Dread, knowing Hogan is going to take the title off Savage in 24 hours. 😢
Once again Hogan screws Randy Savage
“Now that works for me Brother!”
Hulk Hogan: I'm about to end this brother's whole career, dude!
Hogan should have used the Fingerpoke of Doom against Savage instead Hogan uses the WCW Clause of Doom
Spoiler alert next time, PAL!
I remember regal saying he hid in a car a lot during that match.
If i remember correctly there was many legit injuries n that match
@@chihollywood9379I don't remember the exact # but I want to say 7 or 8 injuries came out of it. It may have been more.
@@Rando1975 that was a piss poor stipulation 4 da match anyway injuries or not
Since Bash at the Beach 2000 happens on July 9, that means we have less than an entire year (364 days, to be specific, due to Leap Year) before we reach what may truly be the Point of No Return for WCW. The next year will be... interesting, to put it nicely.
2000 was far more interesting, this time period in wcw was completely forgettable
@@MikeG82interesting in the worst way possible
@@TheSubZero187 WCW was so much better in 99 than Keeping Up With The McMahons was. Raw has been the same show on repeat for months now. WWE is garbage.
@@namikstudios yeah i guess thats why the viewership was tilted in wcws favo- oh wait no. wwf had over double the ratings by this point
@@henry7696 like WWE, Britney Spears was also quite popular in 1999. Popular does not equal good quality. That said, WCW's ratings were still very good in 99 and indeed all the way until the end in 2001. WWE and AEW would give anything to have WCW's ratings these days.
The worst part is about this period of WCW is that Russo wasn't even involved. He doesn't come in for another 3 months or so. I don't envy WB when we get to the year 2000
Oh but it's gonna be epic to watch
@@Steven-le5oc OOOHH YEEEAAH! 💪😬

"...and then some random dude in a forklift comes over to kill him." This resonates with my experiences working in warehouses.
It is mind blowing to think that at bash At the beach 96 wcw created the nwo
It was unthinkable at the time imagine 3 years later
Scott hall downward spiral the apparent vanishing from the scene of hulk hogan(he will come back) and the incredible self destruction of once the most successful wrestling organization in the planet
Yet here we are with macho man in the main event scene that from his return has done the absolute minimum in the ring and great young talents constantly shoved back in the card with jericho ready to jump ship
Hard to think that both nash and macho were involved in the main event of 96 bash and 3 years later still are there
You think the '99 Bash at the Beach was the bottom of the spiral just wait until Bash at the Beach 2000 as they are basically circling the drain by then.
No realy if 2 amazing jst look rock Austin Shaun taker that jst 2 big ones
@@srichardf yeah just wait until BATB 2000 - Booker T's first World Title. You know, something different and actually entertaining unlike Keeping Up With The McMahons which is the same garbage week after week.

@@matthewgamble2387 and damn proud of it!
I thought it was cool how the year before the Bash at the Beach set was a beach on a sunny day. This year they made it look either night time or a stormy night at the beach.
I thought it was cool too!
I wonder if Curt was in heaven like "wtf" when Macho Man paid tribute to him with a *rap* song.
Macho Man's last ever title win....
Yikes.
Still cream of the crop
Oh yeah!
to lose it the next night rippp
@justin Rip is Hogans name is No Holds Barred lol
Crazy how except for holding the WWF title from WM4 to WM5 how Savage is an absolute megastar but never had a really memorable title reign. Just seemed to be there to hold it for Flair or Hogan for a few minutes if their arms got tired.
It's weird to think, but Public Enemy is a select few of wrestlers to work for ECW, WCW, and WWF in the same year.
I think they may be the wrestlers who worked in all three in the same year. Obviously we had guys compete in all three over several years and two in the same year, but for all three in one year, I honestly cant think of anyone else who did.
23:22 What a prophetic sign
Right!
+bathroomattendant WOW! Isn't that crazy when that happens?
Right on the cusp of WrestleMania XL with Cody Rhodes & this random sign in a 1999 WCW event shows us the truth of what's happening today. Some things are just destiny, man.
Somebody knew it all the way in 1999. *"CODY The Future of Wraslin".*
@@johnlucas1543How could a member of the Rhodes family NOT be the future?
Its reliving these WCW shows that remind me why, even at 9 years old, I started to just watch WWF more and more.
I know right. At this point I don't think my brother and I even bothered watching WCW anymore.
The Fingerpoke was the end for me.
It's wild that yanks liked wcw. It was not in any way popular especially compared to the WWF/E. To us it had an air of "market stall fake WWF toys" around it.
Rewriting the War has confirmed for me that I made the right choice sticking with WCW until the very end. Keeping Up With The McMahons was as boring as bat dung and still is.
Who on earth ever preferred 95 WWF to 1997 WCW?@@JohnKobaRuddy
I remember hearing that Savage won the title actually got me to tune into Nitro the next night. Sigh… yeahhhh.
David Flair was supposed to be WCW’s Shane McMahon. But Shane was used way better, and was more serviceable in the ring and on the mic.
Hardly. David Flair is the son of the greatest wrestler of all time. Shane McMahon is the son of one of the very worst wrestlers of all time. David has much more to live up to - truly impossible shoes to fill. I mean look at his sister Ashley (Charlotte), she's much better than David yet still doesn't have a hope in hell of reaching her father's level.
"It's a chin lock, you're missing the good stuff." lmao A+ quip right there
This is the reason why Wrestling Bios needs to release a special video about the chinlock.
And later release separate videos: one on the nerve pinch and one on the back rake.
Best thing to find in my Easter basket 🧺 this PPV Review! Thanks Wrestling Bios

I don’t understand how that hardcore match wasn’t filmed some nights before and special spots were shot/reshot to get the best take and stitched into a decent match. The guys could have had the night off and no one would have known it wasn’t live.
Ernest The Cat Miller was so funny 🤣🤣🤣
He was.
Wait until the arrival of 3 Count
@@roccojamison89gooker51 I remember the days of 3 count. Good ladder matches, though
anyone catch the sign "Cody the future of wrastlin" at 23:20 - someone must have time traveled
+aaronstone08 That is absolutely crazy! I missed that on first watch.
Saw the comments & had to backtrack. The timing of this video & what's going on in real life shows that everything happens for a reason. Something metaphysical about all of this.
Seems purely coincidental but most likely is not. We see these things for a reason.
Things happen for a reason.
1:15 The hardcore match isn't sanctioned by WCW
5:28 Whoever wins the match becomes the WCW hardcore champion
Well, which is it? ffs, WCW...
I like how DDP "accidentally" hits Kanyon with the Diamond Cutter. Kanyon is a good 5-6 inches taller than Saturn or Benoit and has long hair so I can see how DDP would have confused Kanyon for one of them.
23:34 "Why Kevin can't watch tapes of Nitro and Thunder to see it wasn't the real Sting who attacked him is beyond me" the way you described Nash, I think you broke his fourth wall.
Not gunna lie I was a fan of the West Texas Red Necks
doordashing and listening to wrestlingbios on easter is a great day
I can’t help but think of how most of the “mid-card” guys who wanted nothing more than for their hard work to pay off and they would be bumped up to getting maybe more tv time or title shots even if they loss the match but instead have to watch nepotism in its truest form with David Flair, fresh out of his job at Red Lobster to get an in ring title match at a PPV
Mind blowing.
David Flair man, just wow. All that can be said really.
@@kardynalsyn9501 There is always David Arquette and Kevin Federline later on..
David “Annoying Assistant Manager At Red Lobster” Flair
@@roccojamison89gooker51 Ohh man lol 😆 those eps of RTW we’ll eventually get will be gold
Could be worse.. at least this is Flair son in TNA Bishoff would book his son
David Flair never wanted to be a wrestler but yes the amount of money he got was impossible to resist as a 19-20 y/o dude to pass up on vs his job he had at the time which was the golden arches
Forget the money! He got to walk out with Torrie Wilson on his arm!
I heard that time ceases it's marches at the golden arches.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate. Seeing this PPV though, I kinda wish I was at the beach
Same
How dare you!!!! It’s transgender day of visibility!!!!!!!!!!
I love how the hardcore match in "unsanctioned" yet there's a WCW ref there and it's for a WCW title.
If I remember correctly, it’s about here that WCW’s death spiral started.
AFAIC, it started on January 4th
The death spiral was well underway by this point
Per Eric Bischoff, the spiral started with the introduction of Thunder. Imo, the chinks in the armor were exposed at Starrcade 1997.
I think it started long before that
Yea.. The downward spiral started last year..
So, Tory is back with David Flair now? Okay, WCW.
was there any explanation on thunder or something? that would even be too stupid for wcw :D
Giving this video thumbs up - but ONLY for all of your hard work. It must've been hell to sit through this and to think, it's only going to get worse.
Oh please. WB is taking shots at WCW for the fun of it at this point. What started as a great series has quickly become a joke.
"Cody is the future of wrestling" lol, funny how that sign is in a video 6 days before WrestleMania 40
+IEMprod. Some things are destiny out here, man.
This seemingly random sign on this random ongoing CZcams show happening at this juncture may seem like a simple coincidence but there's something more at play when you dig through this history.
Virgil/Vincent (Mike Jones) dies recently & then we get to a part of Reliving the War where Vincent actually looks competent in the ring instead of the lackey & sidekick he is usually portrayed as.
So Vincent gets his moment in the sun to celebrate his life that has just left this Earth.
An unofficial unintended tribute to him basically.
Owen Hart's tragic accident occurs in Reliving the War as Vince McMahon has his public downfall in real life.
A low spot in pro wrestling is shown as pro wrestling is reaching a high spot.
The guy behind WrestlingBios is just doing his show but reviewing all of this history brings up ghosts of the past & a spirit is talking to us through these old shows. I don't think these things are coincidences.
There is something that guides everything. I have seen too many situations of these eerie coincidences.
It was probably some guy named Cody putting together a silly sign for kicks in 1999.
But in the grand scheme of life, it became prophecy for Cody Rhodes. Are coincidences REALLY coincendences?
As a child, the Junkyard invitational was one of my favorite matches of all time. As an adult, the Junkyard Invitational is pretty, pretty..... pretty good. I kinda liked it.
David Flair had to have a big effect on a lot of the TVs leaving Nitro in the spring of 1999 and never going back. I have a hard time not fast forwarding through them on this channel 25 years later. I'm glad I was playing baseball and riding bikes in the summer of 1999 and not watching much wrestling. The next thing I watched is when my dad took me to the Jericho debut Raw
Ladies and gentlemen, your winner... ANNNNDDDD NEEEEWWW Reliving The War Best Burn Heavyweight Champion Of The World... "Leave the wrestling to your sister, David. This isn't working out well, my friend". Thank you yet again good sir and a special and heartfelt thank you from someone who knows someone who has personally benefited from the efforts of the Owen Hart Foundation for the donations. You most definitely have more Jam than El Dandy and may be a close second to the great Bret himself.
Man I can’t wait till Wrestling Bios gets to September 99
HE TRIIIIIIED TO KILL HIM WITH A FORKLIIIFT
MUFUGGIN BIOS TIME.
I think i WOULD buy tickets to watch David Flair wrestle...SO FUNNY 🤣
David Flair WCW's biggest nepotism project. Why he hasn't become a hall of famer 🤷♂.
Now I am imagining after the show. Macho Man goes into Eric Bischoff's office.
Eric: Good job tonight Randy.
Macho Man: Thanks Eric. Now I am looking forward to having a nice long title reign. I think I want my first challenger to be..."
A cough of someone clearing their throat comes from the corner and then says: That don't work for me brother.
Given his ability beforehand, it’s sad that Macho Man came back roided up and limited. Would’ve liked that he came back with his usual physique to finish off his career properly.
The best ppv of all time 😅😅😅
"Leave the wrestling to your sister, David" Hell yeah lmao
Fun fact: next episode of nitro was the first to be aired in the UK (non cable ) i believe.
I remember what happened and yeah... All i can say is... Someone was saying not working and of brother's that day!!
Non cable sure, but I always watched it on TNT up till the end
@@troywright359 friday night 9pm right after spaceghost coast 2 coast finished!!
Obviously we know how it turned out, but this is why WCW fans were optimistic about Russo coming in- having someone, ~anyone~ with a long-term vision had to be preferable to this. Rick Steiner, David Flair, and Savage all being champions is just incredible. No Booker T or Kidman appearance, no cruiserweight match at all (Psychosis wrestling Juventud for 10 minutes would immediately be the second best match on this show), just a wretched show with no real light at the end of the tunnel as far as improvement- and as alluded to, things only get worse on Nitro the next day.
Why can't they make it a 4 way championship match
We shall never know why WCW did what they did. This one doesn't even crack my top 10 of batshit crazy stuff they did(Russo is coming to claim most slots)
Why didn't WCW have a McMahon appear in every segment? That would have been so much more entertaining.
You have to make a Edit of the bada-BANG intro with the Triad but with that BANG dude from previous videos. Been waiting for that!!
I like that N64 Revemge's sound track plays in the background for this video. Even today, that game is still the one that wins. So appropriately fitting
Judy Bagwell belongs in the WWE hall of fame
Judy Bagwell >>>>> Roman Reigns
@@carter3369 Mr. Bob Backlund >>>>>>>>>>>>>Roman Reigns
Putting her in the Hall of Fame and not Buff would be amazing
Why not? Donald Trump is in the WWE HOF after having a cup of coffee in wrestling and doing SFA. Forget about everything else (hard I know) and just asses his wrestling... career. Judy Bagwell - a WCW Tag Team Champion no less - has a much greater claim to being put in the HOF than Trump.
Ric and David Flair were the OG Bloodline. Woooo!
Kicking or be kicking
Owen Hart: I kicked your leg out of your leg
Sid said "Kick or be Kicken
@@troywright359 lol
enjoy your trip man... hope to see you with some of your shirts on!!
This was the last WCW PPV my friends and I watched live. We had stepped away for a while after the finger poke of doom. We gave WCW one more random chance with this one after not watching Nitro for a long time. The junkyard match was the final final straw.
The WWF/E and Vince Mcmahon back then had to be cackling at all this. It was pretty clear WCW hit the wrestling iceberg and sunk to the watery depths below.
21 mins. So close to a new record
If you watched the late February episodes of RTW that had references to "the 11th of July", we are officially here in the 1999 timeline. This review didn't seem off brand at all, so the date teasers must have been an omen about the poor quality of Bash At The Beach 1999 and/or WCW's even further collapse. For the record, the episode of Sunday Night Heat on July 11th, 1999 saw The Rock cut THAT promo on Billy Gunn
I really hope they put all of the past video library on Netflix, because SportsNet here in Canada is severely lacking in content. I used to have all of these Raw/Nitro episodes and all the PPVs taped on VHS. I had a blackbox for the PPVs... ssshhhhh......
8:28 A message approved by Steve Blackman.
+Insomniaaron Good catch!
23:20 nobody noticed cody rhodes was in the crowd on this night?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
+MarioRodriguez-hs5ls I didn't notice it until I saw your comment! That is CRAAAAAZY!!
I don't believe in coincidences. We are all guided by an invisible hand.
Something is speaking to us from these old shows. The guy behind Wrestling Bios is just producing his show on his own time but he too is guided & doesn't know it. Metaphysical stuff is going on here.
Remember recently when Virgil/Vincent (Mike Jones) died & right as his death is known we get to the part in Reliving the War where Vincent actually looks competent in the ring instead of lackey/sidekick he's usually portrayed as? It's almost like a spotlight for Vincent where he can have his moment in the sun.
The old footage becomes an unintended unofficial tribute to Vincent's/Mike Jones' life.
Owen Hart's tragic accident happens in Reliving the War in the midst of Vince McMahon's downfall.
One of the lowest spots in pro wrestling being shown as pro wrestling is reaching a high spot.
I have seen too many of these kinds of things in this show already. There are no coincidences.
The kid who made that sign in 1999 probably did for kicks while happy that he was at a WCW PPV.
But all things are guided so in 2024, 25 years later, his sign becomes Prophecy for Cody Rhodes.
This July 1999 show randomly showing that sign right on the cusp of April 2024's WrestleMania XL is no accident.
*"CODY The Future Of Wraslin".* So it was spoken, so it shall come to pass.
Nothing will ever be worse than Bash at the Beach 2000, and I'm sure that you all know why I would think that.
BATB 2000 was great - Booker T's first World Title.
@@namikstudios Booker T deserved it as well.
My problem with the PPV was Hogan and Bischoff trying to end it with Jeff Jarrett losing on purpose to Hogan.
"I'd like a country soulmate,
I'd like a country girl.
No more lone-li-ness for
Homer and Earl!"
David Flair vs Dean Malenko - one of the best wrestlers in the world. Jesus. Enough said.
Wait, so disco hits the cat with his shoe and the cat kicks out. The cat hits disco with the shoe, well kicks him and it knocks disco out. One of the many reasons I stopped watching WCW (we can’t wrestle). Great video man! Enjoy your two weeks off.
Jesus a hardcore match where you don't actually have to beat anyone you just have to climb over a fence? A fake boxing match which ends with a three count? A tag team main event? The state of WCW during this.. just shocking.
And Russo isn't there yet.
This is poor, but nowhere near the worst of wrestling on TV. Still watchable
The asbury park cutter lol it’s kinda like 3D but different
This main event-title thing is what WCW never did pre'94. I loved it because WWF was cartoon, while WCW was more realistic
The sign in 23:20😂
I would call DDP's elbow drop the diamond chipper myself. Happy Easter Ryan!!!!
I like how the Jersey Triad is basically the SHEILD of WCW.
Savage is Champion for a day.
The narration on the junkyard match I'm in tears lol your awesome. Top 1 with all your Blackman narrative
Savage was doing a lot of ecstacy in 1999 according to Darkside of the ring
Who was the fake Sting during this storyline? Jeff Farmer seemed to have left WCW by then.
Hell, yeah, love this channel, keep it up.
You mention David Flair WANTING to be a wrestler. It's not something I've given much thought to, but I guess I assumed Ric had pushed him into the business. I wonder if he would have been received better if he had not accepted, inside and outside of kayfabe, the treatment that being Ric's son afforded him. A VERY green daddy's boy being pushed into a title scene is easy to hate, while someone like Brian Christopher didn't have to rely on dad's reputation to get himself over.
Honestly they should've put him in the PowerPlant he had no business being on tv in such high profile stuff at this point and I'm not even going to blame David Ric said in his book that people in wcw just thought "well he's Ric's kid he'll get it" and before anyone brings up Charlotte she was in the PC for about 2-3 years before being on tv so she had time to develop
This gets me through my hard current times in life
More Human than Hugh Man
That's pretty Hugh Morris
Absolutely wild that around this time was when I was just starting to get into wrestling when I was 8. I don't know what exactly drew me to WCW except maybe being southern and it's just what my family had been into before. But holy hell did I watch through the absolute worst of it.
You were lucky to watch WCW. While it might not have been as good as it was from 96 to the start of 99, WCW was certainly much better than the alternative or anything that has been offered up since. Keeping Up With The McMahons was so boring.
Ernest Miller was an enigma. He SUCKED and BLOWED at the same time.
I was 11 or maybe I'd turned 12 when this happened and I loved the Junkyard match
Ernest's dancing is cool and all but can he beat the "Big wiggle"?👀
THE GUY AT 23:20 IS A TIME TRAVELLER😂😂😂
+fredos I can't get over that sign ESPECIALLY this close to WrestleMania XL with Cody Rhodes!
That is CRAZY!
In the Dark Knight, when Joker talks about the dog finally catching the car, he had to be talking about WCW 98-2001.
In 1999 I was buying WWF ppvs and Wrestling Bios is my first time seeing these WCW ppvs in 1999
Thank you, Wresting Bios, for putting up with this awfulness for our enjoyment.
Poor WB having to sit through something different and entertaining instead of watching the McMahons hog the spotlight.
The Cat’s dancing skills are easily the best thing from this iteration of WCW
06:42 😂 "Tells him he is a f**kin' moron before the match begins."
I remember always picking Kanyon in WCW/NWO Revenge because he had the best moves. He was so ahead of his time in the ring. He really should have been pushed better in both the WCW and WWE. The guy clearly had the "it" factor WWE always talks about.
Happy Easter and have fun at Wrestlemania! Please be safe.
This PPV has got to be the most WCW thing that WCW has ever WCW'ed. I already knew it was doomed from the first match when the damn ref could CLEARLY (2:42) see the low blow and yet need to be distracted for the loaded dance shoe and not the low blow. WHAT?!? Do DQ's not exist in WCW?
