The Craziest Time To Be A Pro Wrestling Fan

- World Championship Wrestling broke away from the National Wrestling Alliance in the early 1990s and under Eric Bischoff completely changed the pro wrestling landscape. From poaching it's rival WWE's top stars in Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Mr. Perfect and so many more. Ric Flair became the face of the company and through his rivalries with the likes of Sting, Big Van Vader and the N.W.O took WCW to new heights. We look at the company's relationship with Japanese wrestling brands in New Japan and the collision in Korea event which was the biggest attended wrestling show of all time. Through Vince Russo and his terrible creative decisions, such as David Arquette, On A Pole Matches, the finger poke of doom and the incident at Bash at the Beach involving Jeff Jarrett and Booker T.

As a MF that grew up watching in the 90s, what a treat that was. We would get every pvp from both wwe/wcw and just enjoy. I miss you aunt and uncle, good ol days
Absolutely from one MFer to another 🤜🏻
Preach brother!! Born in 84 so glad I grew up on this shit it makes me the man I am today
Lol stfu
Rose tinted glasses, you're bragging about growing up during a horrible time for wrestling
@@DigitalConceptzso the man who beats his wife and smokes 5 packs a day?
My mom hated us watching wrestling as kids. We all came to an agreement that Monday and Thursday were Opposite Day so when she would yell to ask us if we were watching we didn’t feels as guilty saying no
WCW official bylaws from 1994-2000:
"That doesn't work for me, Brother".
Lol
i remember working at Pizza Hut, getting off those Monday Nights, grabbing me a Pizza and get home to watch those Monday Night RAW and NITRO shows. Man THAT WAS THE BEST TIME!! i miss it too, it was when everything was simple....
Over the last year, I have re-engaged in two hobbies that I haven't been into for years, wrestling and 40k, and lo and behold, I found a content creator that has channels for both. Love your stuff, keep up the good work.
What is 40k?
You think i won't spend 2.5 hours watching this just because it's 12:36 am on a thursday morning...pfffftttt..On it. Thanks Man.
I hope it was worth it
My last name is Crockett. I worked behind the scenes at WCW. Towards the end Vince Russo really brought us down besides the merger deal.
Another 🔥 Video 💪 You make my work day better.
Hope you like it
This going to be great to see can't wait 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hope it worth the wait 😅
Born in 87, Raised in wwf, never liked WCW, couldn't help but have an interest in dubya see dubyas product at the height of nwo. It was a weird time. Everything after the Monday night wars and attitude Era just felt watered down n more like a product than a badass natural thing
16:43 surely WCW dosent fumble Steve Austin right…..
Your a machine brodahh!!!
I think the red rooster is worse than tugboat
Wcw held its own
Loved it back in the day
I watched both. Only because it had older top WWF talent. Nitro would start at 7 pm Raw at 8. We would watch all of Raw then watch the re run of Nitro. Imo WWF was always been better than the rest. 😮
"Wcw in the 90s"
Uses a pic of sting from the early 2010s
All about that high resolution brother
For me this is the true golden era of wrestling🎉
There was often some great American wrestlers coming to quebec to face Ricky Martel, Dino Bravo and Abdullah. The Road Warriors vs Bravo-Martel was a classic.
that north korean segment is crazy i can’t imagine how tense things were
You were 7 when the finger poke of doom geez I feel old I was 16
4:38 "the debut of the Benchwarmer Bob Lurtsema"😂🤣
To me, the difference between the two was that it felt like WCW was run by Nash and Hogan. Whereas WWF still felt like a product controlled by Vince. Whether it's true or not it still felt that way. WWF had plenty of over the top stupid moments. Milk trucks, granny s**, socks over the hand. But it all felt like a part of the creative process, not the whim of part timers.
And maybe my memory is completely wrong but during the wars WCW seemed like an interference or cheating EVERY SINGLE TIME. No stakes felt real. The belt changed hands every week and it was always by bs. Goldberg was a bright spot for clean finishes but even that had to end.
Yessir!
I was a kid in this era also. I received the game Revenge on the 64 for Xmas without knowing anything about WCW bc we diidnt have cable! I knew kids preferred WWF to WCW, but didnt know why, and I didnt know Revenge was actually the best wrestling game available. And I had no idea why Hogan's finisher was this finger poke that did no damage. It made me hate Hogan and forced me to learn what his "real" finisher was...and I was even more incredulous to learn he did a leg drop off the corner when his spirit was full? I never caught on that Sting was a Taker ripoff, or even that some of the characters were fictional. I couldn't put it past WCW to sign a Frankenstein monster among others 😅
Man youre extremely good at this. Any xha😢 you'll ever do a AWA video? They used to be the biggest territory, half the wwf 80s roster came from there. Bischoff, Alundra Blaze, Rick Rude. Had the best tag eister and women's roster.
I grew up on the last good years before WCW ate em.
How different would Hogan's Legacy be if he woulda just took the loss against Jarrett & Sting clean. He should have lost 1,2,3 after a knock down drag out fight for your life type battle..I think that would have went a long way in not throwing a lot of other people under the bus, Heck WCW might still be around.
I’d love to have seen that
I think it's hilarious that Russo thinks that if he would have had more time to write and produce that the show would have been better lmao he loved being out there in front of that camera and always reassuring everyone wrestling is fake so people shouldn't take it seriously but all he did was played out his boy hood dream and won the belt but it doesn't mean anything lmao
Good lord, Hogan claims he came up with the NWO.....but for him, Beefcake the Nasty Boys. First of all, he didnt come up with the NWO. Second of all, his NWO would have been a friggin joke. Third of all, Hogan looked like a complete tool the entire NWO run and it only got worse with the outfits he wore. He owes the entire thing to Hall and Nash's coolness...cause he was the total opposite of cool.....then there's early 99 Hogan, when his looking like a complete wanna-be tool hit its peak.
You had to be there. Great time to be a wrestling fan.
No doubt!
The WCW crowd were crazy. They would throw a bunch of shit into the ring.
That classic clip of Scott Hall getting drenched
Russo killed wcw
Partly
best era of wrestling
1:48:40 wait til the wrestling universe learns that the word kayfabe=keyface and that vince MCmahon is MICkey mouse and MCdonalds and MCclaren and MCcormick and MCafee and MCarthur for the ART....old MCDONALD HAD A FARM....and TAYLOR FARM
this is FUCKING amazing!!!
Goldberg and the N.W.O. got old after awhile, too much exposure and over played out fast.
I agree
