    Wrestlemania 8 also had that fantastic Piper vs Hart IC title match

    Steve and Larson y'all are my favorite podcast on YT but you should mix the audio in your videos cause Larson's voice is much softer in the mix than Steve's and it's startling sometimes. With that said, great RAWview, keep the amazing work.

    And people give flack for how WWE is now, I now have the argument of WM 9 to defend this time period lol

  • @thechosenones4375
    @thechosenones4375 Před 5 lety +2

    Good review. I've watched damn near every review on WM9 and not one, so far, has mentioned that cool camera zoom out when Hogan gets the 3 count. Did ya'll notice that?

  • @robbiesilverwolf
    @robbiesilverwolf Před 4 lety +4

    Steiners vs headshrinkers is definitely a hidden gem people should go watch it

    • @thenateyshow8900
      @thenateyshow8900 Před 3 lety +1

      Honestly, the first half of WM IX is pretty good! HBK vs. Tatanka was solid, Crush vs Doink was silly old-school goodness, Steiners vs Headshrinkers was great.

  • @robbyburns
    @robbyburns Před 5 lety +2

    On the Something to Wrestle podcast Conrad asked Pritchard if there was any heat ever between him and Taker and Bruce said takers response was "You had me work with Giant Gonzalez".

    Macho man did wrestle @ Wrestlemania X. He faced heel Crush in a falls count anywhere match.

    • @mgunter
      @mgunter Před 5 lety

      Then they had to be counted out after that.

    • @Ellthom
      @Ellthom Před 5 lety +1

      underrated match too, the rules are far different to how falls count anywhere matches are today. Their match was more like a cross between a 'falls count anywhere match' mixed with a 'last man standing match', but I enjoyed it, plus the Savage/Crush feud, a very good feud in itself, one of the under rated feuds of that year.

    • @micahhill4786
      @micahhill4786 Před 5 lety

      It was pretty good match

    I was at this Wrestlemania and in hindsight everyone bashes it but at the time if you were there live it was a lot of fun. The venue was tiny, I sat all the way at the top of the bleachers (up against the building, the other side was up against Flamingo blvd) and my view was still great. Everyone in the section I was in had a great time. We cheered when Yokozuna won and boo'd so loudly when Hogan came out. This card was one of my favorite live shows I'd been to.

    Bruce Prichard always gives company approved answers. It's why its hard to take his version of events seriously.

  • @JSchaffer214
    @JSchaffer214 Před 5 lety +1

    WM8 also had Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper IC Championship match. 8 wasn't good but it had a couple matches that keep it from being at the bottom.

  • @mgunter
    @mgunter Před 5 lety +1

    Beginning of the end for Hulkamania was at the '90 and '91 rumbles where people were filing out of the arena right after the match. Then in '92 they sheered when he got eliminated.

    • @andu1854
      @andu1854 Před rokem

      And then the WWF had to dub the audience booing…

  • @StraightEdgeHeathen
    @StraightEdgeHeathen Před 5 lety +2

    JR didn't incorrectly call Tatanka's samoan drop "fallaway slam". If i remember correctly, that's what Tatanka used to call his finisher, which was a samoan drop.

    • @ChristopherJames1993
      @ChristopherJames1993 Před 3 lety +1

      Tatanka called it The End Of The Trail.

    • @PontFlair

    @HITMANPegas Před 5 lety +1

    Now you know why Bret wanted creative control the last month of his contract. Because Vince fucks him over and over. Why would someone be bitter if someone they looked up to like a father kept shitting on them?

  • @marcsaad3454
    @marcsaad3454 Před 5 lety +1

    First WrestleMania that I watched as a Kid, so I'll always remember it fondly

  • @adu1991
    @adu1991 Před 4 lety +1

    I will say this about Wrestlemania 9....
    Hulk Hogan looked weird in this one. Wasn't as big as he once was, and he looked a bit older.
    Also(fun fact), "Super Mario Bros", the movie that came out the same year, actually alluded to this PPV.
    Mario said that he was going to take his girlfriend to this show, lol.

    • @andu1854
      @andu1854 Před rokem

      Hogan stopped using roids and deflated

    Mania 11 is also really bad. Held at the Hartford Civic Center (the home of the Hartford Whalers)

  • @malcolmrichards7754
    @malcolmrichards7754 Před 5 lety

    😮😮😮😮 when Larson dropped the strange brew reference didn’t think anyone outside of canada has seen that.

  • @tjjordan4207
    @tjjordan4207 Před 4 lety

    Vince is definitely somebody who doesn’t like change but you gotta admit that he ‘eventually’ does make the right choices when forced to. He ushered in the Golden Age, the Attitude Era and now the “Practically G” era. Maybe he won’t be able to do it again this time around but he has listened.

    Unpopular opinion. The Mega Maniacs vs. Money Inc was a fun match.

    Very interesting you guys did this watch party around the same time the news of Chris Hemsworth is portraying Hogan on the biopic. 😂

    "How much further can you debase yourself, if you're Beefcake?"
    Tell you what - shout that question down the hole, wait a few seconds for the sound to reach Ed Leslie, then wait a few more for a response.

  • @mgunter
    @mgunter Před 5 lety +2

    First outdoor Mania. WM7 was planned to be at the Rose Bowl but got moved. And yet another Mania where it was on a Trump property, showing that this relationship went back far before 27.

    • @keepmovingforward1722
      @keepmovingforward1722 Před 5 lety

      And thank god. Trump shaving Vince's hair was a moment for sure.

    • @blakeanderson7839

    • @AnArchyRulzz
      @AnArchyRulzz Před 5 lety +1

      Trump didn't own Caesar's palace. Wtf you talking about? Trump owned casinos in Atlantic City, never Las Vegas. And they did it at Caesar's Palace because they got paid to do it there.

  • @ImCeeJay
    @ImCeeJay Před rokem

    I loved Mania 9. It's top 10 best for me.

  • @bubba200874426
    @bubba200874426 Před 5 lety

    $6000 per hour for an infomercial is really not that much when you consider that running a TV ad can cost hundreds of dollars for one 30 second spot.

  • @AnArchyRulzz
    @AnArchyRulzz Před 5 lety

    Macho was in WrestleMania 10, how could you forget that falls count anywhere with Kona Crush?

  • @Moonijuana
    @Moonijuana Před 3 lety

    WrestleMania IX has always been a personal favorite. The esthetics for the event were some of the best yet. This 'Mania definitely had its faults...... large tone deaf faults, brother. But the the few highlights, and general presentation make it stand out as something special. It would be great if they brought back the "Roman Coliseum" look for a modern PPV......Royal Rumble or Night of Champions(?)

  • @Fizzy167
    @Fizzy167 Před 5 lety

    22 was my favorite

  • @tinotica
    @tinotica Před 5 lety +1

    Bad Wrestlemania but no not the worst. Easy to sit through and I’d say it’s the 6th worst...
    5) 29
    4) 15
    3) 32
    2) 27
    1) 11

    • @tinotica
      @tinotica Před 5 lety

      Mr. Geo Give me a break.
      29 was the most frustrating mania ever. The entire premise of the show was for Cena to get his win back in one of the worst title matches I’ve ever seen that somehow got Match of the Year. Besides Punk/Taker and a decent opening, this ppv was trash.
      15 is clouded by the attitude era stigma. Besides the last match, there were no matches here with a satisfying conclusion.
      32 is just 15 but a lot longer and even more boring. How many crowd favorites went over that night?
      27 is trash as we established. Next
      11. The perfect combination of bad and boring. I’ll argue that WM 9 had 3 matches I can go back and watch (the first 2 and the Hart/Yoko match minus Hogan), 29 (opening and Taker), 15 (main event), 32 (ladder match and women’s triple threat), 27 (Taker/Triple h), but 11 has nothing I want to see again. Hart’s match was awful, Takers match was awful, putting the title match under a celeb in the main event was awful, the ending of the title match was awful, and the main event with LT going over Bam Bam was terrible.

    • @tinotica
      @tinotica Před 5 lety

      Mr. Geo I get where you’re coming from. I guess I look at it as all 5 of the aforementioned Wrestlemanias as events so bland that they legit put me to sleep.
      I choose not to include the first 2 manias (even though they were both bad) because it was still in its infancy

    • @coryfowler7059

    @speedy932key4 Před 5 lety

    This wrestlemania was awful, but it started off pretty well,but then it ended really shitty. I'm really hoping this years mania won't be as bad as this one, in terms of bad match finishes at least

  • @FlyBoyEnterprises
    @FlyBoyEnterprises Před 5 lety

    It was AWESOME PPV. Awesome atmosphere. The arena, was built custom in the parking lot of the casino. The ONLY blemish was Taker v Gonzalez. Definitely when Hulkamania was at its peak & winding down.
