According to Big Show on the Stone Cold podcast, when DX invaded Bischoff was going around saying he wanted to challenge Vince a a fight. Hogan then apparently turned to Show and said “Vince is crazy he’ll tear his eye out”
I can believe it, if half of what was reported is true, Vince McMahon is absolute apeshit. Dude is probably some form of bipolar and likely has a history of some roid rage.
The best time for wrestling! I always was a WWE fan from way way in the late 80s but I remeber during this time switching back and forth from both companies. I miss these days!
I tend to believe that McMahon wouldn't want DX going into the Scope. Your own product is finally catching up and even beating the competition, and if they appear on Nitro, that just goes back to how the "anything can happen on Nitro" vibe Bischoff wanted to create.
Nah I don't think so. If the people know that DX, a stable from the rival's company, successfully made it inside and cause further chaos, it would've been a spat in the face for WCW. Eric Bischoff does the right thing at the time by closing the door on DX, as well as Vince and Triple H for capitalizing the both companies rivalry by invading them.
I remember winning Raw tickets 2-3 times on our local rock radio at the time. They had fun games to play to win and trivia. Got to see the Attitude era for free on some occasions. 90’s were great!
I got free tickets to RAW shows in Pennsylvania, they even gave us specific WWE tshirts as Seat Fillers so they can move us around in the crowd to make it look more filled out. It was a White T with a big pink WWF logo lol. This was just post Wrestlemania 10 so like 93-94 something like that.
Well business was down during that time yes it's pretty ridiculous but they weren't doing this in the height of the attitude era like WCW was. Big difference.
Can definitely see thing's are changing in the wwf after the survivor series 96 the HBK Bret Hart feud has already started to appear and it's going to be nasty plus the ecw invasion is what 12-16 episodes away, loving reliving the wars 👍
I would have opened the door and had Haku, Fit Finlay, Booker T and the Steiners waiting with cameras rolling. Lol DX couldn't mess with that. Would have been a great counter attack by WCW
The dX invasion, Montreal screwjob and a few other 90s topics are things that I'll watch videos on no matter how much I already knew. Glad you covered this on. Great video as always
Remember this vividly as I live in portsmouth, less than 15 mins from the Norfolk Scope. Fun fact, my brother's algebra teacher was the woman who said "of course" WCW sucks. I wonder if she is aware she is a big part of pro wrestling history to this day.
Way I heard it, WWF brought a troop of their respective toughs and big guys like Steve Blackman, Shamrock, the Harris’ and Bradshaw to bodyguard them in case any of the WCW roster wanted to brawl in the parking lot, but they were given explicit instruction that if WCW had Haku with them they shouldn’t even bother and just bolt for it hahaha.
Remember the Alamo!!! As many of you already know Road Dogg and Billy Gunn would try to recreate this stunt in TNA challenging Triple H and Shawn Michaels to fight at the Alamo…High Noon!!!
i remember that, and i thought maybe it would actually get some people talking but, not only did it not make news, anytime i've brought it up nobody seems to know it happened..
It would have been interesting to see how this would have played out on a WCW PPV. Perhaps they would have struck some kind of deal where we got to see a WCW VS WWF “war” on TV. With each invading each other’s company. I wonder what the impact would have been on the business if we got this and moving forward how it would have played out.
@@martynodonnell8467 i feel if this had gone through smooth enough and relations behind the scenes were maintained, WCW would probably still be around in some capacity today (either still a separate show or under the WWF/E banner as was initially planned post-buyout)
@@michaelsmith5769 well WWF were starting to get back on top so WCW weren’t completely killing them. However, yeah why would Vince show up on a WCW PPV, without some kind of pay off or return for his own company.
You know... with hindsight being 2020... If the WWF & WCW knew Vince was going to end up buying WCW; just imagine what kind of angles we could've had if they never closed those shutters. Of course Vince wouldn't want to see his guys lose because that'd result in wrestling fans viewing WCW as superior but this could've been something that laid the groundwork for the "WCW Invasion" in 2001. Granted this is all fantasy booking & definitely would've never seen the time of day but there were so many possibilities here. With the success of the DX Invasion, I'm SHOCKED Vince didn't book something similar for the WCW/ECW invasion in 2001. I guess it's just something that will live on in our minds in an array of "what ifs" from yesteryear.
Yeah Vince's pride would have got in the way and would have prevented WWF from looking weaker than WCW. I often hoped Vince would have purchased WCW but allowed Eric Bishoff to run it as separate show instead of absorbing it so we could have legit got invasions where it appeared wrestlers crossed over from one show to another. It was wasted potential.
He should have just did crossover shows with both rosters. He could have doubled his income and the wrestler's income if he didn't bury so much good talent over the years due to petty backstage issues or testing over things as small as Marijuana. We could have had some interesting stories over the years. Instead, we get a Roman reigns push or a Lesnar push over and over.
Not really since A there is no universe where they were real and B 100% chance it was planned and the police were told ahead of time. Nobody with a brain would just go trotting around in public with guns.
I remember this. The Norfolk Scope was like 10 miles from where I grew up. Love these trips down memory lane. I wish Bischoff had let DX into the building!!
This was so cool back in the day. Me and my friends watching the Monday night wars as they unfolded. Switching channels between wcw and WWF until wcw just became predictable while WWF was so entertaining and fresh.
Being born in 1988, I'm so glad I was able to watch the Monday Night War live every week. You can never, EVER repeat this piece of history. If you weren't born yet or not old enough to remember, you missed out and I'm so sorry.
14:38 It may be open to the public, but it is still private property. Stores don't let the public take pictures or film inside them without permission. It's mostly to prevent people from casing the joint for future robbery.
Yeah.. The Only time you can record is when you recording food you bought or if you or someone you know is getting a body modification like piercing to the body some stuff like that.. but yeah Malls in the states are very strict cause it's private property.. You can take Pictures as long as it is a picture of a Product..
Meng was crazy. Sheik said meng took on a horse from behind and one in the mouth and finished both off. He said meng looked like he had a black javeline through his mouth and out of his ass. Raised off the ground getting tuned up
Bischoff is a black belt karate man but Vince is pants crapping insane strong as an ox and was more than likely on the gas during this time might be an interesting fight
People may have been leaving WCW in droves, but I was loyal to the very end. I STILL bleed for WCW, and I always will until the day I die. 1988 - 2001. WCW FOR LIFE!!!!
In those days You could wear any wrestling shirt you wanted without getting kicked out. My cousin wore his NWO Wolf pack shirt to a WWF house show in 1999 and someone next to him started singing "Don't turn your back on the wolf pack". I started doing the Ric Flair yell and fans yelled back lol. It was all in good fun and many of us fans watched both promotions. WCW only did one Nitro in my area in the fall 2000 but by then all the top stars were gone and the Monday night Wars were over
Hey lad! Just wanted to take the time to thank you for all these videos, been watching WWF/WWE since 1998 and these videos bring back the good times of my youth - keep up the good work, Cheers!
I watched this for the first time on the DX's VHS, since I started watching WWE in the middle of the year 2000. That was my exposure to this moment, and I tough it was so cool despite the fact that I didn't understand a word of the english language back then. Good times.
My mom was a huge WCW fanatic, because of Lex Lugar, while I was a WWF fanatic because DX and Stone Cold. I remember talking trash to my mom when they closed the door. I live close to the Hampton Coliseum and every time i pass it, i remember DX standing outside of it. The monday night wars were such a fun time
I went to raw that night and had to pass the scope on my way from where I live. If I remember correctly it was a craft show that was giving away free tickets, but you are 100% accurate that it was clever editing on wwf’s part.
Simpatico my friend, I was just this morning looking at old videos from this groundbreaking moment in wrestling history on a whim! Keep up the lords work!
How cool would it have been to do some cross-promotional stuff during this era! It’s a shame that they hated each other so much because they could have seriously helped each other out so much during this time… and everybody would have won!
Everytime WWE comes to the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, they give out free tickets, at least over the last decade. They still struggle to fill up the venue even with the free tickets.
Having live in Virginia Beach at the time, I went to all the wrestling shows that came to the Scope around then (World War 3 was my favorite). I was there the day DX showed up. And I remember thinking to myself why they would be talking about "invading Nitro" long before the show even started. Still, it was fun to be a part of it all.
I was always a WWF guy. (Although Goldberg made me flip the channel to Nitro a bunch of times). But moments like this solidified why I was a WWF guy during the wars
I remember going to nitro in st. Louis in 2000 or 2001. We were walking up to the arena looking for a ticket window and a guy walked up to us and asked if we needed tickets. He handed them to us and I remember we all thought they were fake. But sure enough we walked right in and sat about 15 rows back from the ring. We were so excited!
I got free tickets when RAW came to Cleveland (during 98 I believe) so it's fair to say that both companies occasionally threw some freebies to the fans...which was nice to see, man wrestling was so much fun back then...then it quickly faded away
Ahh the DX theme...still get may adrenals rushing when the guiter riffs hit ...my body still automatically goes to suck it! mode :P man no sports entertainment can ever make me feel that again...DX was unstopable...wish it never broke up
I dare anyone to disagree with me that 1998 was the best year for WCW & WWF starting with WrestleMania 14 and ending all the way to SummerSlam & maybe Starcade.
If wcw invaded the week later after DX invaded,Vince would have let them in then and he would've won the Monday night war right there. His logic was "what show would you watch? The one everyone on it or the one with nobody on it?"
Unless the DX guys started calling out specific WCW talent or trying to make them look weak/stupid on TV, you're spot on with your take on what would've happened (or not happened I suppose) if they opened the doors and let them in. It's not like Bischoff was a Paul Heyman type figure that had this group of guys that were fiercely loyal to him - hell, from what I've seen in interviews and documentaries, etc., a lot of guys didn't even like Bischoff all that much. He was useful for getting them those fat guaranteed contracts, but not exactly the type of guy you're going to go to war for.
According to Big Show on the Stone Cold podcast, when DX invaded Bischoff was going around saying he wanted to challenge Vince a a fight. Hogan then apparently turned to Show and said “Vince is crazy he’ll tear his eye out”

Road Dogg should have called out Jeff Jarrett and made him admit that it was Road Dogg singing "With My Baby Tonight!"
They covered that on Raw a couple of years earlier. ;-)
I remember going to nitro in st. Louis in 2000 or 2001. We were walking up to the arena looking for a ticket window and a guy walked up to us and asked if we needed tickets. He handed them to us and I remember we all thought they were fake. But sure enough we walked right in and sat about 15 rows back from the ring. We were so excited!
That may have been good for your childhood right there but at the same time looking at it realistically that tells you that wcw was on some down times
"Did you pay for these tickets?"
"Hell no"
Sure I butchered it but that is classic
Hell nah I got em fah free!
😉
DX invasion helped both shows imo.. I remember checking into nitro to see if they acknowledged DX out there
I remember that happening.. we was like *"Damn, We can't believe they did that.."*
I got free tickets when RAW came to Cleveland (during 98 I believe) so it's fair to say that both companies occasionally threw some freebies to the fans...which was nice to see, man wrestling was so much fun back then...then it quickly faded away
Ahh the DX theme...still get may adrenals rushing when the guiter riffs hit ...my body still automatically goes to suck it! mode :P man no sports entertainment can ever make me feel that again...DX was unstopable...wish it never broke up
Now, I woulda laughed my ass off if they'd opened the door and all we got was a second Curtain Call.
What the hell Vince was going to do fire everyone when they enter that door? Hell no
I dare anyone to disagree with me that 1998 was the best year for WCW & WWF starting with WrestleMania 14 and ending all the way to SummerSlam & maybe Starcade.
WCW prob peaked in 97 in the events leading up to Starrcade. That was the year WWF & WCW were closer in ratings. In 1998 the WWF took over
@@GoGetYourShinebox I got to say even though when wcw had some good spots, overall in 1997 professional wrestling it was kind of oddly depressing.
Jim Cornette has always called Pritchard the Artful Dodger because he is good at dodging questions & facts
If wcw invaded the week later after DX invaded,Vince would have let them in then and he would've won the Monday night war right there. His logic was "what show would you watch? The one everyone on it or the one with nobody on it?"
Couldn’t of timed this any better with Kevin nash airing on stone cold podcast today 👍
The memories are priceless.
As a 15 year old wresting fan, this was the coolest thing ever.
Can you make a video on Eric Bischoff’s WWE debut with how people in the back reacted?
Unless the DX guys started calling out specific WCW talent or trying to make them look weak/stupid on TV, you're spot on with your take on what would've happened (or not happened I suppose) if they opened the doors and let them in. It's not like Bischoff was a Paul Heyman type figure that had this group of guys that were fiercely loyal to him - hell, from what I've seen in interviews and documentaries, etc., a lot of guys didn't even like Bischoff all that much. He was useful for getting them those fat guaranteed contracts, but not exactly the type of guy you're going to go to war for.
I was in the Norfolk Scope that night & had no idea what had happened outside until afterwards
Well done. I enjoy your work; however, this one definitely was among the best.
“LET MY PEOPLE GO!”😂
Iconic moment during the Monday Night Wars, but I remember watching and thinking WWF was desperate to be doing this.
YEEEESSSSS!! One of my favourite angles of the Attitude Era!!
That Run DMC DX remix is 🔥!
20:10 Don't forget the TNA "Cookiegate" incident.
Nice work as always brother! Triple H living out his Lemmy fantasy on his "tank" hahaha.
