It's amazing how certain events in the history of pro wrestling change, depending on the perspective of the person viewing them. I was ten years old in 1991, and I didn't even know that pro wrestling existed. My grandmother had a descrambler (yes, I'm that old, lol), and so we would go over to her house every weekend and watch free PPV movies. There were always several commercials that came on before the movies, and one night a commercial came on for Starrcade Battlebowl '91. I knew nothing about pro wrestling or anyone involved in it, but the commercial just made it sound like the coolest thing ever. I begged my grandmother to tape it for me, and she told me there was no way in hell she would tape that crap for me. The next weekend, she handed me a tape with "Stupid Wrestling" written on the label. I watched it as soon as I got home, and I immediately fell in love with professional wrestling. A show that is universally regarded as one of WCW's worst PPVs is the show that sparked my love for the business. I have been a super fan since that day.
I am 2 decades younger than you, but it was the WWECW that ignited my love for Wrestling with guys like Punk, Christian, Big Show (who looked awful but was booked to be a dominant force even beating Flair). Along with the RVD vs Cena match that was despised by the crowd but that I loved every second of
This was the year that I first started watching WWF/E. Lots of great memories of 91 for me!
That's awesome! It’s the year I was born
I feel old now lol. I still remember when we 1st got Sky & watched Wrestling Challenge for the 1st time! Mr Perfect beat Tugboat@@WrestlePod
Great presentation. It was also interesting having more modern examples of the foreign heel trope for context and comparison.
Thanks! 😀
Awesome Video 💯 Some of my earliest wrestling memories are from the year 1991 keep up the amazing content and I love this series 🤘 #Wrestlepod
Glad you enjoyed
Glad this dropped n a sunday morning, lovely cup of tea and Wrestlepod.
Thanks Podmaster!
You reckon I should start posting more videos on a Sunday?
@@WrestlePod yea bro that would be sweet mate
I’ve moved them all to Saturdays for the next few months
Perfect viewing for a Sunday morning!
That WCW Japan Supershow led me into my love of Japanese wrestling . I hunted down every Puroresu show I could find be it AJPW or NJPW and it was WAY harder to find back then !!!!! But it was gold to me when I found it ! By 93 or 94 it became easier though still kinda expensive . Thank the wrestling God's for the internet and youtube now days .
That pink strap winged eagle belt looks mint tho
Bro! Its greatest series!!! Thanks for your work!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great Video! I am not very privvy to the early 90s, and I'm loving this series and the ability to learn about those years and the happenings!
Good video! However, and maybe I need to rewatch it because I missed something, but the final portion about USA versus the World seemed a bit off topic. Great content still, just maybe I missed the connection to the 1991 review.
Side rant...I was a huge UW fan as a kid. I was 9 going on 10 in 1991 and was devasted when the Sarge took the belt from him!
That was a blast thank you british fam
Glad you liked it! Do you think I should continue with the ‘year in review’ format?
Absolutely! That was a pleasure to watch! Loved the amount of research you put in to that must’ve taken ages!
Thanks
Yo man I really do enjoy your videos a lot. I just started going through your catalog by finding you randomly. Just to preface; I’m not trying to be a dick I promise, I like you and you for sure have potential to be great. My little criticism is that you copy and paste old things you’ve already made over and over. I’ve heard you talk about like ~10 different things a whole bunch of times. And that’s from just random videos of yours I’ve watched. Maybe you want the videos to be longer to run more ads? Idk the reason whatever, but it’s kind of idk disheartening to hear about the same thing across several different videos. Like bringing an event up again to reference something sure cool but just copying and pasting the same segments over and over is well, not good. Like I said not trying to be a dick but it’s something I’ve noticed is you using the same exact bits you recorded over like a couple years worth of videos it seems. I want to keep watching your videos and become a fan but it’s a little exhausting seeing the same bits redundantly. I really do love your content and I think you have a huge opportunity to become really awesome and get better and grow and hone this craft. Keep up mostly good work man. I just kept having these thoughts while watching your videos and I felt I finally had to leave a comment and say something. Sorry for all the words lol I’m not good at being short
Is this what it is?? I thought I was having deja vu 😆
Sorry should have been more clear. This Year in review series is a chronological version of all my content so far
That’s fair, maybe I’m wrong and maybe I was watching other videos from this series and not noticing it’s a part of a series. I didn’t like write down time codes or anything like some nut haha! It’s just something I’ve noticed over like maybe 10 of your videos I’ve seen now. Again not trying to be an ass or anything. I really hope you continue to grow and get better at making videos.
I swear I had the biggest crush on sensational sherry lol😍😍🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Me too
Suburban Commando is a classic. It's one of those movies that is so terrible that it is impossible not to like it. There is just something about that movie that I absolutely love, though I have no idea what it is.
Road Dogg's real name is Brian James, not James Brian.
Video on Bruiser Brody stabbing?
Great idea 💡
@@WrestlePod been watching all your vids great content excited for more
Thanks so much for the support
I understand your argument that some of the stereotypes and storytelling methods used in professional wrestling may not fit modern sensibilities, but there is a reason they have always worked, and continue to do so. Professional wrestling is like holding a mirror up to society, and sometimes that reflection is not something we want to see. As a trans person, I don't like the depiction of many LGBTQ characters within professional wrestling, but I also realize why we are depicted that way. Audiences continue to respond to those types of characters because that is what a large segment of society perceives us to be. Until that perception of us changes, those types of characters will continue to be used and will continue to be successful.As I understand this concept, I do not find it as offensive as I probably should. As we have seen with trans people in the US, you cannot force change before it's due time, or there will be unnecessary backlash that will cause that change to take even longer than it would have otherwise. These tropes will continue to work in professional wrestling as long as those stereotypes continue to exist in society as a whole, and as we have seen with AEW's failure to grow, you cannot force change until a large enough segment of people are ready to accept that change. Maybe one day stereotypes will cease to exist, but until they do, they are a necessary evil in professional wrestling.
🤘🏻🎱🤙🏻
Yeah let's solve all the world's problems with a wrestling match. 😂
17:21 I always thought if you were gonna bomb WrestleMania 7 at the Los Angeles Stadium then moving it to the arena didn’t make a difference. The Manchester Arena was bombed by a suicide terrorist and that building had a capacity of 18,000 far less than the 120,000+ capacity of the LA Memorial Stadium, so the bomb scare lie didn’t make any sense. Col. Mustafa aka the Iron Sheik was Iranian and Iranians hate Iraq even more than America did at that time with the Iran/Iraq war happening less than 20yrs earlier, with Iran winning that war until America put Saddam Hussain in charge of Iraq and giving them the weapons to win the war
I like you and thank you for giving me this timeline about the years in the wrestling in each video but you're really starting to make me sick with your anti American views are starting to show. Yes there are people who try to undermine the United States even our so-called friends in Europe and yes there is such thing as good and evil even when they are mixed in with. We needed that patriotism in the United States during the Gulf war because they were called to Serve their country and so what if we made it a storyline leading up to WrestleMania 7 it put a lot of smiles on people's face here in the states but unfortunately you don't know what it means to be an American.
"Chris [Von Erich] will always be remembered for his love of wrestling..."
I do like your videos but your reusing the same bits over and over in your videos is making them feel a bit stale.
This series is just a chronological version of everything I’ve made so far. Brand new content being made right as we speak
