"And if you don't do it, WhatCulture will"...
Well played.
well played indeed
the would do "How I would have booked the Brawl for All"
Except they have mentioned the brawl for all a few times already.
+Mrtfarruugia imagine him doing that, and when he's going for the ding, someone punches him in the face, knoking him out. then he get up, and does the ding with a bunch of broken teeth.
Haha they sure will!
"No son of mine is going to avoid talking about idiot Russo or any stupid idea that he's ever had!"
"Jim, I already told you, those texts came back negative."
"That's not important now either."
Divine One I was reading this comment as this was being said. 😂😂
That opening is fucking gold .. I love cornette
Cognitive Chaos yes
Tests
And now Jim has disowned our boy Zane.
The fact that Jim Cornette did a cameo for this is beyond awesome
"If you don't do it whatculture will"- Jim Cornette
Dated reference
The best part of the brawl for all was watching Nitro
lol I see what u did here...
Ha-ha!! So true.
Hey!!
+LuckyWheel123 The Brawl For All guaranteed that Nitro would win at least one segment each week.
Plus how many times did Nitro finish off with a great big old brawl to show them what fans actually wanted from a brawl.
Vince Russo came out with the BRO for all.
Thanks dude. You made my day Bro. Get it?
+Adrian Lemus Bro I Bro with my Bros
+Luis Arenas. Well Bro, I also bro with my bros and my bros' bro's and their bros' bro's. Got it, bro?
+Adrian Lemus Bro who is your favorite Female Bro to Bro with while she talks about her Bro?
Luis Arenas. Bro. It would have to be Chyna, bro. Not only was she a women's champion, bro. But also an IC champion, bro! Now that was some serious shit, bro. How bout you, bro?
Aww the simple times when Zane and Jim Cornette get along
It’s a typical Father and Son relationship, they’re not always going to get along
@@MovieEggman hoping they patch things up soon
What happened?
@@gabrielguimaraes6486 Jim can be such a p&ssy
@@BeeBumper I like Zane and I enjoy comedy wrestling, but I agree with Cornette about guys like Joey Ryan. Anyone who enjoyed watching him do the Dick suplex was an idiot. That shit makes wrestling a joke, and I find it hilarious that Joey Ryan has been exposed for being a creep as part of the Speaking Out movement.
Brian Zane and Jim Cornette actually talking and claiming family love... 😔 what a much happier time
What happened???
@@cornball0072 Brian said people can compare wrestling to the circus, then made some points. I guess Cornette was so offended that he blocked Brian from communication.
@@timmylong833 Is he wrong though?
@@timmylong833 truth hurts
@@timmylong833 modern Wrestling literally started life as strong men contests that were circus/fair attractions lmao
"And if you don't do it, WhatCulture will."
I haven't even finished the video and I already gave this video a thumbs up for that Cornette spot.
The most hilarious part of this video in hindsight is that Russo repeated basically the exact quote mentioned here in the Dark Side of The Ring episode.
Vince knows (how to steal) a good idea when he hears one
Brian is more influential than we realize
That's why he's the Influencer lol
I wish they had just made it full MMA rules. Dan Severn murdering four midcarders on Raw with knees to the head on the ground would have been some damn good TV.
Or what if you paid Ken Shamrock enough to build up the two of them against each other towards the end
@@EmmaBonn96
We got that already. & it was the most boring "fight" I've ever seen.
So the story goes, WWE originally considered the idea of implementing MMA-style rules for the Brawl for All, but they would have had state athletic commissions stepping in to enforce policies thus that was nixed. Then they thought they could do some sort of kickboxing variant of it. But realizing Steve Blackman was planning to milk knee kicks for the tournament (and could likely pull them off considering his martial arts training), WWE didn't want a good chunk of their roster being crippled by Steve and changed it to the boxing variant milked throughout Summer 1998.
@@allamericananti-christ666 there were two Shamrock vs Severn fights. The first one at UFC 6 was pretty good. John McCain ruined the second one at UFC 9.
Sin Sanity they were told just before the fight that if they struck with a closed fist they would be arrested. It was terrible though.
Butterbean actually believed he won a WWE contract by winning this.
I heard he was contracted for two appearances, and had yet to get his his second appearance since DeGeneration X In Your House back in 97. Ironically, that one was at least a work, rather than a shoot.
He also believed Butterbean was a name worth pushing soooo....
@@paulieswalnut i was wondering, why butterbean is hated? Honest question
@@carlosdcf8268 I don't know that he is. He was a lot of fun to watch in a boxing ring. Would knock out dudes who were in way better shape and had better technique, but he had such a sick right hand it didn't matter a lot of the time.
Unless the match went more than two rounds. Then ehhhh things could get a little slow.
But he gave hope to millions of overweight dudes.
He Did End Up with a Contract ... Years Later, with Pro Wrestling Syndicate and as a Contestant on "Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Championship Wrestling"
Vince: "We in the WWF think that YOU, the audience, are quite frankly tired of having your intelligence insulted"
Funny you should mention that, Vince, because decades later and your company is still insulting their intelligence.
Oh come on, you act as if he would have two guys show up in 2002, push the hell out of them with TONS of initial resistance at first, build up this big match between them 14 years later, and it's basically an extended squash by the guy who now shows up four times a year. Yeah, like THAT would happen...............
Don't worry, Kurt Angle is on an amazing run in the WWE and he is in a respectable storyline that doesn't involve accidental black sons and WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING WWE AND NOW THE GREAT KHALI RETURNED!!!!!
Tack on another 3 years, folks. The saga continues!
Could be worse!! Could be AEW!! eww
Aew least tries
Sadly Bart Gunn was a victim of WWE spiteful and stupid only wanting to push who they want creative.
That is the absolute best Vince Russo impersonation on CZcams.
+Sanctus19 Considering there are only 2 or 3 others out there to my knowledge, that's high praise!
It's the effort that counts. Cheers.
Sanctus19 I agree. And i don't even know what Vince Russo looks or sounds like. I just know that anyone named Vince in or around the WWE/WWF/WCW, is a bad guy and not to be trusted. Still, Brian is hilarious regardless.
5:18
"Today's midcarders"
Shows Becky Lynch
Oh how the times change.
still his a mid carder with a title
Tokeslokos she is objectively a Main Eventer. Like, it’s not even debatable.
@@roguestatusfms9 lol if shes a main eventer then why ratings are down attendance are down and the WWE stock is down , just because WWE pushed to the moon that doe not mean shes a main eventer,
A main eventer sells out arenas,attracts new viewers and gets mainstream media attention only Lesnar,Cena and maybe Punk for like 3 years have done that the last 10 years
Tokeslokos a Main Eventer by definition is someone who is at the top of the card. The word you’re defining is a draw. Plus, your logic is flawed when you talk about attendance and ratings being down and Brock Lesnar being a draw when he is literally the WWE Champion right now. How would you blame attendance and ratings on the Women’s Champion and not the WWE Champion? Please think more logically.
@@Tokeslokos Around wrestlemania time she was the biggest star the WWE had. How many other wwe wrestlers were being covered on ESPN, MMAfighting, USA Today, etc? None. Now the hype has died down. But you cannot name another wwe wrestler in the past few year who got the medias attention like Lynch did.
"No son of mine" I love Cornette.
Hell yeah
The best
And then a couple years later, Brian would essentially be disowned by his kayfabe father, when Jim Cornette blocked him on Twitter.
@@k1productions87 😥😥😥
Happier Times
Bob Holly has some great stories about the Brawl for All in his biography. He claims that after Dr. Death lost, he was overheard backstage saying "Dammit, they already paid me to win!" And he also supports the rumor that Bart Gunn was punished for beating Dr. Death by being put against Butterbean.
Well, it was pretty obvious Butterbean was the Hatchet man to punish Bart Gunn.
Imagine complaining about getting paid to not get hurt further
Brain Zane = Jim Cornette
Adam Blampied = Eric Bischoff
Kevin Scampoli = Vince Russo
??? = Paul Heyman
Grim = Big Dick Johnson
Heyman may be Pacciti
Fun Fact: Big Dick Johnson is the head of creative at Lucha Underground
+Ace The Skylord
That's true
no no ross isnt at that level yet...i dont think heyman is anyones equal just quite yet. but the time will come
+MrMikehunt87 yess
Something to keep in mind is just how weird the rules were. It was basically a mix of Toughman-style boxing and amateur wrestling. There was no ground-fighting, but a grappler could still win by spamming takedowns on his opponent, provided the takedowns were "clean" (Whatever that meant). The gloves also had more padding than what they normally use in boxing, which I think made both punching and grappling a bit awkward for everyone. Just seems like weird conditions to try to fight under.
isnt it ironic how the one guy the tournament was made to spite was the only guy who went on to become a big success in the company. i bet russo feels greeeaat
cody adams No joke I was thinking the same
now i can imagine russo foaming at the mouth when jbl won the wwe title XD
*Rhyno will not be eating the spaghetti.
+DJ Maniak He'll be eating the cheese whiz instead.
It's actually related directly to this, and it's better than Chris Masters in a Sombrero: i6.photobucket.com/albums/y245/DJ_Maniak/Rhino.jpg
Haha that's right, I forgot about that picture! Well played!
Wrestling With Wregre
I love Rhyno and Heath Slater as a tag team
Bart Gunn won the tournament and was resoundingly buried for it. They or Jim Ross at least wanted Dr Death to win and when he didn't, they basically looked the other way as if none of it happened and jettisoned Bart right off TV. When WM15 rolled around they decided to throw him right under a bus by sticking him in there with a skilled boxer, hell I believe some of them even knew he'd get slaughtered. Brawl For All was a petri dish of backstage politics and bruised egos played out on weekly television.
J.R. had a MASSIVE hard on for Dr. Death.. And they had this Brawl for all and assumed he would win and have him fued with stone cold lololol bart gunn ruined that.
fjvideo u mean butterbean
I know butterbean looks like a joke, but he isn't. Dude retired from boxing at 77/10/4.
Bart Gunn wasn't given a match with Butterbean, he was fed to him.
It was a terrible idea. "Let's create heat and tension between our talent in real fights where we can't control the outcome and also risk injuries..."
@@The_Ragman he retired in 1977? He must have been very young to retire as he didn't seem that old in 98 or whenever the brawl for all was and that's like 20 years later! But yeah they wanted to Bury gunn as bean said he'd work the match but they said no knowing he'd knock him out on live TV. I bet JR was the one that was trying to get the go ahead for the match without working it
At least Mike Barton (Bart Gunn) had an ok career in Japan after all of this.
I always wondered what happened to him after the Brawl For All.
He's a freak of nature now. 300 pounds of pure muscle
Ehh kinda
The Brawl for All must be DELETED!!!! DELETE!!! DELETE!!
It will fade away and make its self OBSOLETE
it faded away and became absolete
obsolete*
BROTHER LAYFIELD MUST BE FORCED TO WATCH HIS SINS AGEEN! AND AGEEN! AND AGEEN!
Did anyone else watch this while enjoying green beans? They truly are a delicacy!
that would be funny if Cornette really did end all his phone conversations with thank you fuck you bye
I'm pretty saure he does.
Well he has to now
+Noobie2k7 Im saure to 😂😂😂😂
@The Truth maybe apply that special cream the doctor gave you?
+Lynchology101 well I hope corny has all the variations trademarked and can produce some merchandise
Anyone else come back to this before watching The Dark Side of The Ring version?
Jose Cortinas i just watched it Jim Cornette and Russo part was my favourite
To be honest, after the first round, the Brawl for All got pretty interesting. Bart Gunn saved it. Well, as much as he could.
When he knocked out Dr. Death I jumped out of my seat mainly because I was a huge Steve Williams mark since his WCW days
Would you consider reviewing the South Park episode where they parodied WWE?
Please do. Hate that episode
please do, I LOVE that episode
+CrutonTheLobster it's one of my favourites
He should do it.
They took his job!!
The Brawl for All: a clear cut example of how boxin and wrestlin don't mix.
The person the brawl for all was created to screw over : JBL.
Only person who benefits from brawl for all in long term: JBL
That idiot, Russo!
Oh the irony
Bart Gunn did manage to turn his knockout of Dr. Death into a nice career in Japan for about five years before retiring. Funny enough, it was Williams who got him into All Japan.
They should have at least pushed Bart Gunn to an Intercontinental Championship Match at WrestleMania XV, and considering Billy Gunn was meant to head into Mania XV as IC Champ, this could have been a very interesting story in the form of Brother Vs. Brother for the company's second top belt.
And Russo has the fucking nerve to slate the current state of wrestling and say Kevin Owens ain't a worthy champion. He came up with this stupid brawl for all, not to mention viagra on a pole, and David Arquette winning the WCW title. Hell even David knew it was a bad idea!
I love how Jim Cornette has become a recurring character on this show. Also, fingers crossed for more Captain Lou in future episodes!
and now Brian is blocked by Jim Cornette,... my oh my how things have changed
@@k1productions87 Swerve bro
We all know the REAL winner of the Brawl For All. Joey Styles! ;)
I see what you did their
SaviorGabriel You sir, earned my respect
*knocks out JBL* OH MY GOD!!!!
@Dr. Goji Joey Styles punched JBL in real life
@Snoop Dawg Wait a minute: where's your original comment?
“If you don’t do it, Viceland will”
0:44 is a scene we’ll probably never see again
Back during The Brawl 4 All, my brother, sister-in-law, and I would sit in the Living Room of the downstairs apartment and switch back & forth between Nitro & Raw. When we switched to Raw and saw the Brawl 4 All, after the confusion wore off, we all just went "Guess we're watching Nitro tonight..."
Marc Mero was a trained boxer, which makes it all the worse that he lost TWICE
He would’ve done much better if the rules were more boxing based
If you don't do it WhatCulture will
They probably still will talk about it.
+jason thayer they did talk about it but they didn't give it its one video
GSmith

Reason they never did much after Brawl for All for Bart Gunn is because Jim Ross HATED him for knocking out Dr.Death Steve Williams. That's why Dr.Death buried Bart Gunn after the Brawl for All and Bart Gunn didn't do anything afterwards... except for that fight with Butterbean. Ross wanted to bury Bart Gunn and kill his career, so he contributed to the idea of Gunn going against Butterbean with very little prep time. Also, Severn was taken out since they didn't want him beating Dr.Death.
John Penguin the 3rd No.. the reason why Bart Gunn didn't do anything was because.. well, he was Bart Gunn. I have more charisma in my backne.
So, JR is the one to blame? If not for him, maybe Gunn would be on a better position in the attitude era...
And you base this random comment on what, exactly?
Whose?
what are your sources penguin john, because right now all i see is slander to the smarkest degree
*Who's here after Vice's Dark Side of the Ring episode?*
Me. I love how this was designed to embarrass Bradshaw...and he's the one who ended up with the most successful career on and off screen. Russo can't even do petty revenge right
@@Courageous91
Yep.
That intro was gold😂😂
The whole Cornette thing was gold
If there was a Brawl For All right now in WWE.....
John Cena would win because no one can see him
Leave
No, he would win because.. well, yeah.. Cena wins, lol.
+Mattheuw1154 that's changed its now Brock Wins Lol
It would be MMA/UFC more then boxing now anyway, so pretty much Brock will win... even before they come up with the logo for it.
I'll be honest, I didn't SEE that coming...
I'll walk myself out now.
I've said for years that after Steve William's lost; they should have done a backstage segment with him accepting a bribe from Vince McMahon or Shane to take a fall and becoming one of the first members of the Corporation
I mean it isnt perfect, but it's better than what happened

Bakorafanboy13 what happened?
SkyRu1e This. czcams.com/video/d-7mpZkmd8w/video.html
It's funny how Bradshaw and Godfather get knocked out identically.
Neither Steve Williams' nor Bart Gunn's careers ended at these points. Williams would remain in the WWF for another year feuding with Hardcore Holly and Tiger Ali Singh, he feuded with Vampiro in WCW from late 1999 into 2000 and would wrestle in NJPW for another 3 years. Bart Gunn would also have a fairly successful run in NJPW for 3 years after the infamous Butterbean boxing match.
No...
I sure he meant only their time in wwe. Not their entire career.
I am addicted to this show! just found this channel about a week ago. so much content!
The Brawl for All...the reason why we are robbed of a Dr Death Steve Williams/ Stone Cold Steve Austin feud and the Butterbean squash match at Wrestlemania.
Dark Side of The Ring is going to do an episode on this
When cornette actually talked to his son
At least the XFL and Ezekiel Jackson got some cool theme music out of it.
If you don't feel bad for Bart Gunn, idk what kinda wrestling fan you are

Did you know this one time he beat up the blue meanie for real?
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
Its fitting in a way that the guy Brawl for All was made to stick it to (Bradshaw) ended up having the most successful career.
Yep, he got a long term reign as WWE champ and he won some titles along the way, making him somehow successful
@@michaelbandada9887 compared to most he is the only one to become world champ in WWE out of the competitors
That was a bad Russo impression. He never said enough bros
R.I.P Brian's Kayfabe dad.
EYY MISTER SINISTER!!! Can't wait for his debut on the show.
+Codyman He already appeared in my Heroes of Wrestling review! :)
+Wrestling With Wregret Ah, okay. I haven't watched some of your old videos, but I'll definitely watch the video soon.
Man this Cornette and Zane crossover hasn't aged well lol
I like how Jim Cornette is making cameo appearances in your videos Zane, keep it up
Zane And Jim Give Me Stepson And StepDad Vibes 😂
I've been looking forward to this video all summer long! Now to snack up and enjoy.
thumbs up as soon as I heard Jim's voice. I love your videos man. They just keep getting better.
You should review The Divas Search now that they are no longer Divas. Also Alberto Del Rio got fired during his suspension.
Del rio actually has an 'out' clause in his contract that he used.
It's been known for a while now Alberto was done with wwe
Oh God, the 2004 version. What in the world were they thinking? (Especially Kevin 'I Hate Wrestling' Dunn, the brain child behind this disaster.)
Oh yes, perfectly summarized by Christy Hemme's entrance theme being "Walk Idiot Walk"
well it's about time,del rio sucked ass glad he's finally gone
Brian, does this mark the start of season 6 of Wrestling With Wregret?
No yes.
Thank you,Fuck you,Bye 😂
Hate to break the news to you, but this ain't television. It's CZcams. There aren't any "seasons" on CZcams, dumbass :)
+David Hues Certain channel's or episode's of stuff do season's on CZcams for example Sonic for Hire.
+David Hues why then AVGN has seasons and any other guy who uses AVGN style in his/her reviews
9:44 I'm pretty sure the "Career Died" caption is there mainly to censor Bart Gunn's head getting knocked off his shoulders.
I've been waiting months for you to review this and it was everything I expected, and then some. Great start to season 6 Zane!
Thanks!
Bro, let me tell you, this was a good review, bro. Can't wait for more content, bro. Oh and by the way, I hate JBL.
I wasn't sure whether or not it actually was Cornette calling or Zane doing his Cornette impression. But then we got to the point where JC started running down Vince Russo, and I was like "yeah, that's him". Cornette's vocal delivery while talking smack about Vinny Ru is more unique to him than his finger prints or his genetic code.
So the Brawl For All was made in an attempt to spite JBL, but Bradshaw did make to the finals against Gunn finally being upset. JBL did prove that he could hold his own in a real fight against many of his peers
8:19
“Bro, did I try you I don’t like JBL and I want to see him get his clock cleaned? I just wanna make that perfectly clear.”
I love that line.
That opening segment... hasn't aged well
"Thank you, fuck you, bye"
Brilliant
"Just pretend please!" *clap clap Clapclapclap* "Just pretend please!" *clap clap clapclapclap*
I've been waiting for this since you hinted at it :) I've only ever heard bits and pieces of this event and am glad to finally see the full story.
What’s crazy is, the fact that Brian predicted Vince Russo, actually talking about this six years later on an episode of dark side of the Ring and saying the same thing, Word for Word is still crazy to me 2:53
He should talk about Celebrity Championship Wrestling.
So technically Blackman and Severn are still in this?
No Severn left and Blackman got injured
5:09 : And in 2019, they did create a bonus angle for mid/lowcarders. It's called the 24/7 championship
MastaMS21 and it’s amazing. R-Truth is a genius.
