Wrestling Bios Presents - The Story of The Revolution in WCW
While WCW had great some great success using superstars of WWE's past, the company had struggled to push new superstars to the forefront. Guys like Bill Goldberg got a break, but some of WCW's hardest workers never got a chance to shine in the main event spot. Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit and Perry Saturn, for example, felt overlooked within the company. When "The Franchise" Shane Douglas appeared on Nitro and announced he would stand side by side with his old ECW friends, "The Revolution" was born. The concept of the group was a bunch of guys who were tired of the same guys monopolizing the main events in WCW, and they would attempt to take back what was rightfully theirs.
The Revolution would turn out to be a precursor to "The Radicalz" in the WWF. This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios looks at The Revolution in WCW and we try to find out if the faction really did make a change, or if everything practically stayed the same.
Topic covered in this video include:
00:35 - The Revolution's history in ECW
03:05 - Shane Douglas makes his WCW Debut
04:15 - The Revolution is formed on WCW Thunder
06:22 - Chris Benoit becomes the singles star of The Revolution
09:15 - Benoit's famous promo calling out the old main eventers of WCW
11:27 - The Revolution at WCW Fall Brawl 1999
14:54 - The Revolution begins to fall apart after just 2 months
18:39 - Vince Russo takes over the booking, The Revolution become a trio
- Much More!

World falling down around us and everything shutting down BUT you can still rely on wrestling bios!! Thankyou.
He is keeping me entertained through the crisis. No sports to watch but wrestling bios is always here with his video a day.
FACTS
I realize Im pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch new series online ?
@Jabari Emilio Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google :)
@Fabian Terrence definitely, have been using Flixzone for since march myself :D
When you are in enforced isolation this man just keeps pumping the quality content out. This has made me dust down the n64 for some wcw nwo revenge.
All I Need To Know Is! Did You Blow Into Cartridge Before Putting It In The N64? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow I haven't played that since I got smackdown on the ps1
Regret selling the 64
@ZCS If you've played the 64 it's relatable
Great game.
Classic game, but these videos have made me buy the new 2k20 game, just so I can download all the late 90’s CAWs so I can recreate the Monday Night Wars and save WCW lol
I was a huge fan of all these talented guys individually and the faction. I paid $100 for the only Revolution shirt I could find off of eBay just to give it to Shane Douglas at one of the shows I worked with him. I spend hours talking with him at several shows - listening and learning to one of my idol's growing up. Shane explained he lost all his old gear and memorabilia over years through a divorce. And how he knows it's just stuff, but he wishes now he still had some for memories. When I brought him the Revolution shirt He said he would sign it and give it back to me, but I explained he's given me enough years as a fan and I hope this is giving back to you in a small way. He was very gracious and thanked me and told me some cool road stories with Perry, Chris, & Dean. Thanks for this video.
Joshua Charles Dude thats awesome!
Darth bowser Ruben Otsutsuki his story is actually believable, Shane likes to stay involved with the indies, so it definitely could be legit. I would expect someone who helps out in the indies (they hardly get paid) to be a fan of wrestling, and this is a channel and video for wrestling fans. But Josh, where abouts was this?
@@Thor-Orion Cross Lanes, West Virginia where I gave him the shirt. We have pictures together. I worked with him or on a show with him in Princeton, Beckley, Cross Lanes, and Guley Bridge all in WV.
@@rubenskywalkerredlanternda5620 wow dude. Proof? How old are you?I was trying to share a nice story. What's your goddamn email geek. I'll send you a picture
That was very cool of you to do, man. Shane seems like a great guy👍
I met Shane Douglas in 2016 and let me tell you he was one of the nicest guys I've met. Was very happy to chat, have some photos taken, was enthusiastic, good mood and very friendly.
So you approached a man in the street & asked for his photo? No respect for his private life, forcing him to be polite or tell you to f off. If you want photos, they do events, you should leave them alone in the street
@@stevelowe2647 Bro what? 😂
I just met the Franchise at a Fan Fest.I totally agree,he is a cool dude.
I have been a wrestling fan for over thirty years and I totally missed out on this storyline. Thank you for making this one .
You didn't miss much on wcw
WCW was awesome.
If wcw was awesome why did it lose the ratings war no wcw was jot awesome it was boring once Stone cold and the rock became popular wcw had no chance of winning the Monday night war
benzion888 😂 WCW Owned WWF in the Monday night WARS. Try again, Austin was a product of WCW before crossing over to WWF so therefore Austin had experience in the business. Rock couldn’t wrestling himself out a paper bag. The Rock’s gimmick saved his career in which was stolen in bit and pieces from some WCW characters. WCW lost because of poor management other than that WCW was killing the WWF.
They call me Starky Love-hun stop trying to downplay wwf. Wwf made austin not wcw. Also rock was talented asf and had classic matches stop it
Perry Saturn is highly underrated.
Drupiter Id buy it
Totally agree. I've been lucky to live in the Philly area and get to see him a lot. The best wrestler I've ever seen.
Both of The Eliminators were highly underrated
He was an ass for what he did to Mike Bell. He really went mental on him and threw Mike out of the ring and he landed on his head. Very unprofessional.
@@Makainternational he botched a move
Perry got hurt
He gave mike a receipt
They finished the match like professionals
Kind of a non issue
I mean if mike was chill enough to finish the match then why does it matter
Dean malenko is one of favorite wrestlers and was underrated. Chris Benoit was the best in the group.
If Malenko had been another foot taller he would've been a massive star
Old School even just another 4-6 inches and he could have been a very believable heavyweight.
Milenco was underrated because he was freaking 5'2. And his Mike skills sucked worse than David Flair's wrestling career.
This group should have gone further in my opinion. This to me was the original incarnation of the Radicals in the WWE but obviously we all know Shane Douglas’s distain for the WWE was never going to go away anytime soon so he was never getting hired.
So Insert Eddie Guerrero
“The Triad and *sigh* US Champion David Flair helped beat Benoit down”
Lmao!
@@kidz4p509 nah it's the absurdity of freaking David Flair ever holding anyone's belt. It was complete BS
@@kidz4p509 Oh i know I’ve seen all his videos
@@kidz4p509 I was saying that's why
Goddamn, man. I loved the Revolution. Such an underrated stable.
12% battery on my phone and I left my charger at work... Should I save my battery or watch wrestling bios? I'm watching wrestling bios. 👍👍👍
The most highly potential team maybe throughout wrestling, but the thing I didn’t get is that they were ‘Youngsters’ Dean Malenko was 39 at the time but great video, great channel and Great Stable🙏🏻
In pro wrestling, a competitor in their late 30s early 40s is still considered young especially if they’re an Indy wrestler going into a bigger promotion.
ShinRyojin My point still stands
Would have to say Dangerous Alliance had more potential
justin cole i’d give them a slight edge. Rude and Austin together.
I started watching wrestling at this time - second nitro I saw was Benoit winning the US title. I loved this stable, it's just such a pity that it was never used properly after a few weeks
Your Videos are always the first thing i watch when i wake up no matter if its a old one i have already watched or a new one im always excited
Shane Douglas is one of the most underrated workers in the history of pro wrestling. He could do it all and could have feuded with Austin, HBK or Bret very easily.
You “ Couldn’t make this stuff up” .... Russo : “ oh yes I can”.
Revolution consisted of a group of GREAT TALENTED wrestlers...
...and Shane Douglas!
Thank you!! Huge fan of your videos man. They give a lot of detail many people might not know and gives more information about lesser known parts of the business.
I never really watched WCW, I'm interested in this primarily as a prelude to the Radicals coming into WWF.
Also, the absurdly convoluted stipulations in WCW matches were always hilarious, and incidentally are one of the reasons I didn't watch very often. The Cones of Dunshire rules are more clear than some of those WCW stipulations.
Rings of Saturn great submission
It stays alive thanks to Britt Baker. ^^
Three handled moss covered family credenza
Thank you so so much for putting this video together and putting Chris Benoit in it and talking about him ok even thou what he did at the end of his life he was always one of the best in my eyes
wcw gave way too much attention to the nwo storyline at the time. They wasted a lot of talent that wwf capitalized on when they arrived there
Your right about that
The NWO was red hot at the time, but as far as. Vince McMahon utilizing WCW STARS when they arrived to WWF/E, I would have to disagree. There wasn’t many that was successful.
@@justinsane6986 The NWO took up way too much TV time
Bobby Lawson again the NWO was red hot at the time, they was the main attraction. The NWO was sole purpose of why WCW was successful in the Monday night War. It’s funny how everyone said that NWO took so much TV time where as DX was doing the same thing.
They call me Starky Love-hun Except DX never took up over half the roster and was alongside guys like Undertaker, Rock, and Stone Cold who would get around as much screen-time as DX. Not to mention just cause one thing is hot doesn't mean it needs to be the main thing all the time.
The way he questioned US Champ David Flair? 🤣🤣 like wtf really?
Shane Douglad with Radicals in WWE would have made them a little better as the needed a mouthpiece to back up all of the incredible ring work amongst the four.
That and WWE should've given Malenko a better push than he had.
Jason Wohlers I heard that WWF didn’t even want Malenko at first and they sure as hell’s didn’t want Shane Douglas
That was obvious due to the way they booked him. He was "too small" for them. What they didn't realize is he had more talent than most of their active roster at the time
It's as if WCW knew they were dying. Once they changed their original logo to that confusing pointy "Batman" thing! At first glance it's hard to see that it spells out W-C-W. Sad that the WWE often uses this logo to represent the Monday Night Wars rather than the more fitting one.
Shane hated everyone in the Klig, especially Shawn and Triple H. This may be the reason he didn't sign back with WWE.
he mainly hated the Kliq for how they treated him, Candido, and Bigelow
Klig
I feel like as circus like as WCW's booking was...you'd kind of got used to feeling in every storyline "oh wait...there's gonna be something that makes no sense soon...to "shock" us" so taken within what fans were used to at that point I quite enjoyed the revolution. Definitely have fonder memories of them than of the radicals. But maybe you can remind me of something I missed at the time in a future video....;)
WCW was like that from the beginning in the 90s!
Great example at how disastrous the booking was at WCW. I honestly feel that it was the likes of Benoit, Melenko, Guerrero etc... were the real reason WCW did so well in the MNW. They always had the best matches and were just natural talent but the egos of NWO were only out for themselves.
Yeah, nothing to do with Sting, nWo, DDP and Goldberg. It was the piss break guys that were the REAL reason for WCW's success...............................
@@handsolo1209 piss break guys? Yeah, ok mate 🙄
Thank you so much for still putting these videos out. Times are worrying but these videos keep me happy. Good man yourself.
Awesome! I'm actually at this period right now while re-watching old episodes of Nitro on the network!
I love your videos. I hopes that means we will be getting a Story of the Radicalz in WWE soon!
Another great in-depth analysis! Thank you, WB! Most fans already know this, but if you get a chance to watch any Malenko/Mysterio match from WCW - do it. You won't be disappointed.
Great bios as always thank you!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thanks for covering this so well. While these guys were quite athletic, they honestly didn't have that much personality to be taken seriously as superior as who was in the main event at the time.
I think eddie or Douglas had the most personality
@@michaelmccoy4506 Yeah, I keep forgetting Eddie was in it. I never bought many of these younger WCW guys as main eventers. I understand why they werent pushed as hard. Even when WWE tried pushing the likes of Jericho and Benoit, it didnt work so well.
The wrestling bios theme sounds like something straight outta 1991/92. But I agree in this shiz time, these videos are cool. Macho man please
It’s the music from the song WWE brought out for the build up to WrestleMania 9, the song was called ‘WrestleMania’ and no doubt on CZcams somewhere.
1993 actually. If you were watching the WWF at the time. WrestleMania and Slam Jam were the main songs from the album.
@@My19812011 I remember that song from back then. The old Royal Rumble theme circa 1992 is another one that stands out to me. czcams.com/video/kXnC0sXVpek/video.html
Shang Tsung I always LOVED that Royal Rumble theme song, I’d like WWE to go back to certain themes for certain PPV’s so they stand out more
Just want to say thank you for all this great videos you make.being a lonely and isolated person it nice to watch and listen to all the information and stories you bring us all.
Thanks for another Fantastic Video! Any chance you could go Old School and make on on Classy Freddie Blassie?
You make some of the best wrestling bio videos I have seen in a huge while! Please keep up the great work! I always look forward to your content!!!!
I love the inflection when you introduce the concept of “US Champion.. David Flair?” That’s all you had to say lol
“dubble yew cee dubble yew” I like the way he says it 😁
Benoit trying to get the crowd to chant revolution lol
The eliminators finish is one of my favorites and they always timed the kicks so well
Great video as always. Gotta make one on Vince McMahon both the wrestler and the owner
All that's going on and you continue to come through. Favorite channel on CZcams for a reason. Fantastic work!
PS I hope everybody is safe!
You all forgot something...The Revolution started out as a bunch of guys who never got a fair shake..but then they became an anti-American stable...Russo's amazing thinking...
Which gimmick was better
@@lilmanmullins9193 Which was better? In my opinion what they originally were going for, a group of young midcarders held back by the washed up old has beens who should've retired a LONG time ago standing up and rebelling against the machine.. It felt more like making them an evil foreign stable that Russo was trying to create another Hart Foundation.
Yes, I remember them cutting a vignette at the Library of Congress and Shane Douglas ranting on about how you would learn about all of the evils that your American government has committed within this building and then Perry Saturn going on about how there he also learned about that "mean old Grinch who stole Christmas". God damn you, Russo.
Russo's amazing thinking😂
This is the same man who gave us Sammy, Mike Awesome turning into the Fat Chick Thrilla, and many more boneheaded moves😂
I Remember this time well WCW was pretty much unwatchable at this time. It was cool when chris one the belt. Then the next night quitting. Couldn't hold it against him WCW sucked.
Velvet Dogg the man himself said that Saturn, Dean and Eddie had enough of the out of workings of WCW and said weren’t main event talent hence why they went to WWF
@@Kas58223 They were not main event talent though. Eddie is the worst drawing WWE champion of all time and Murder Midget was not much better. Saturn is just Bart Gunn with wonky eyes.
Hand Solo they weren’t thinking of being main event talent they wanted to go somewhere else giving them a better opportunity than WCW was giving them
Kas58223 a better opportunity? WWE/F made Saturn, Dean, Eddie and many WCW STARS looked like jokes.
@@Kas58223 No, they DEMANDED main event spots and money. JJ Dillon & Mike Graham rightly told them that they are not top level talent and they tried to get JJ and Mike fired, then quit WCW when WCW backed Dillon and Graham.
Should do the filthy animals next, but loved this video
Fall Brawl '99 sounds like it was punishment for Benoit's pipe bomb...
This was awesome best wrestling channel on CZcams bar none. Thanks for the content
I love your videos, I didn't have the right pay tv company as a kid and so I watched WWF happily. I had no exposure to WCW except the toy aisle. Your videos always hold so much I never knew went on on WCW
Regardless of situations, I still love Benoit
Professional wrestling in general is not the same without Chris Benoit. He was one of the all time greats. I wish that the 2007 Benoit Family Tragedy never happened.
I wish we had a proper inquiry as to how much the damage caused by untreated concussions and steroid abuse, both tolerated in the industry, contributed to his murderous state of mind.
@@kommissar.murphy Are you familiar with a CZcams channel called WrestleLamia? According to WrestleLamia, the 2007 Benoit Family Tragedy case was poorly handled.
Love these VIDEOS.
Do an Eric Young video! :)
Asia just looks like Medusa after spending a summer on Lesnar's farm.
The way you said David Flairs name 😂😂😂
wrestling bios, can you do one on origins of the hardcore title, like what belt was actually used to create it? Thanks.
Great as always my man. Thank you.
Great video . Really had high hopes for revolution when they joined together
Kinda shock to see a video on this faction mainly cause nobody talk about any other faction in wcw without mentioning nwo
Shane joining the Radicles would have been nice, but it was cooler with them just showing up and not saying anything.
Bam bam bigalow was also former ECW triple threat
Yup. Former ECW World Champion and TV champion.
Can you do chris benoit wcw run cover others in future
I've always thought that Shane Douglass was a much bigger star in his own mind than he was in reality. He seems to come across as thinkin the reason he didn't become a legend was cause others held him back. Maybe that's true to a small extent, but a very, very small extent. I've always believed he was the main reason he didn't make it to the top.
WWF was also interested in signing Konan but unfortunately he was referring to himself as k-dog and the WWF didn’t know who that was
Thats wha prichard says but we all know you can't believe him if his tongue was notarized
Wrestling Bios tells the absolute truth about wrestling nowadays . . . THANK GOD
To quote Brian Zane on his review of WWA
Reh-vah-loo-shun!
lets hope there will be a vid of "The King Of Old School" Steve Corino, I always liked the guy ^^
I also remember WCW was taking a lot of the talent not just The Revolution but Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero was in ECW.
It's like WCW didnt know how to book factions when they had tapes of the nWo and Four Horsemen just sitting on shelves.
You could have just stopped at “It’s like WCW didn’t know how to book.”
Gotta love WCW booking...take fantastic workers and build them up for weeks (if not months) so Goldberg, Sting, Hogan, or Flair can knock them down
Another great bio 👍😎👍
Great video always bro
Shane returning to wwe a 2nd time after leaving ECW a 2nd time was a slim chance in & of itself. It's surprising to hear they allegedly gave him another shot. It would have been his 3rd with wwe & 2nd with wcw. Only Warrior probably burned more bridges at that time with the co. than Shane did. The issues between him & Vince, paired with Paul & Shawn probably saying no to Shane's return would have ended that stint quickly. The "Radicalz" faired better in the wwe than wcw, but they were still under used. Only Chris & Eddie ascended, but all 4 deserved to be revered. If you're painted with wcw colors.....
I always wished the Radikalz did more in WWF
I love The Original Triple Threat back in ECW.
It's sad Benoit, Bigelow and Kanyon are no longer alive.
2 of the 3 yes, murder midget can rot in hell.
Saturn, Malenko, Douglas and Medusa doing that weird snake promo didn't help matters
I'd love to see a Luger in wcw video
Love you videos man keep it up ive been binge watching them
Chris Benoit y Eddie Guerrero eran los únicos que se tenían que ir de WCW para luego aparecer en la WWF ahora conocido como la wwe
As big of a WCW fan as I was, I don't remember this at all lol
The revolution would evolve into the radicals!! Minus franchise🤙😎plus Eddie Guerrero!
Shane in the Radicalz been pretty kool.
Awesome video but I’m just curious would you ever make a video on the story of the filthy animals in wcw?
Time for a Major E Rection video brother
Fantastic vid keep up the good work
This channel is greatness
Are you going to do their radicalz debut ?
You’ve GOT to do one on the Filthy Animals!!
Lets get a video on Dustin Rhodes
I remember the revolution for their dress sense alone
And they kept that style going for their WWE debuts.
Really enjoyed this vid....we tend to forget bout how these wrestlers came about.
Poor big mouth Shane. All his friends left him.
All his friends died, Benoit, Candido, and Bigelow were some of his best friends in the business
Always been a fan of Saturn but what was up with those damn hats?!
How about the Natural Born Thrillers
Im a huge Shane Douglas mark so i would've loved so see Shane get another run in the early 2000's with WWE
!EM PLEH !EM PLEH You gotta do a story of Al Snow!!!
the thing is wcw needed a faction like this at that time , this idea could've gone farther, the members worked together before and wcw older talent especially hogan, flair etc held down younger talent, the filthy animals etc, however only benoit got a main event push soon after. If malenko etc got main event pushes it would've worked better.
any chance of a video of dusty rhodes and switching to WCW? idk if its very eventful but i feel it odd that he went over to them with such deep roots in wwf
Story on crash holly please
