Henry almost everyone who knows who he is can't stand Vince Russo! Glad you are doing well, I miss those days when I cared about wrestling and it was good!
Me and my pals got together for it every week and were having a blast watching it as fans. Yeah on the business side yeah no good. Lets be honest they could of said no the wanted bragging rights and a pay day.
This may have been all things considered the worst idea that got done in the history of wrestling. No one got over from it, and a lot of guys got badly hurt out of it. And the fights were just lousy cause wrestlers couldn't have good MMA fights.
A bit over the top considering Bart Gunn got over from it and suddenly had a new platform to elevate himself. The opportunity was there, but unfortunately for Bart he couldn't cut a promo. To call it the worst idea in the history of wrestling when we saw the likes of Robocop ripping cage doors open, fake Trump vs fake Rosey and Chucky arguing with Rick Steiner, I think it's far from the worst idea. It was actually entertaining to watch and it won the fans over before Cornette piped up. Droz taking down Savio Vega in their fight got one of the biggest pops of that entire night.
@@fingersTitan From a business POV you can say it was risky, I'll not argue that. However from a wrestling POV I'm sure they likely considered it a night off. No bumps and 5K for choosing to take part?
I wonder how the brawl for all would have gone if you included Hulk Hogan, Iron Sheik, Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, even throw Bob Backlund into the mix.
Bragging rights and a payday got the boys hurt. They could of said no. You wernt going in the ring to play Tiddley Winks.They weren't forced to. Now its yeah it was stupid Russo. They should of worked the shoot. No hate but both sides need to take half the blame. On a side note this dude is cool as fuck. One of the best so far.
To the Brawl for All referee’s defense, Vince would have fired him on the spot for stopping a fight. I agree he should’ve stopped it, but he would’ve been absolutely sacked that night if he would have.
I’d take Bart against haku at that time. Bart was a beast with major power in his hands. It’s crazy how much fans mark out over haku when all they are going off are wrestler stories that happened 30-40 years ago when everyone was drunk & on drugs
@SmallBallPoker police logs don't lie ! There's a reason Haku wasn't allowed in . Wasn't there a title at the end of it ? Haku didn't achieve great heights in wrestling because he couldn't be counted on to tow the company line . Imagine let's this guy loose in a honest to God real type of fight . They took kicking out because Blackman wouldn't win !
Great interview and wow henry o Godwinns got surgery once he enter the brawl for all tournament and wow, Vince Russo wasn't a fan of the farmer gimmick that the Godwinns portray.
James, I know this is for wrestling but you've GOT to interview butterbean. I'd love to hear about this and his DDP stuff as well as his boxing/mma stories. I think it's close enough to where people will forgive you for it not being a wrestler haha
@decollector95 the ones who were really proven to be badasses were bart gunn and bob holly,bart because he knocked everyone else out and bob because he was the only one to make it to the decision, he showed he has a granite chin and even though he was a bully and a douchebag,he could take an asswhooping,it's not about having experience, bart gunn and bob holly didn't have experience but they proved they were tough for guys who weren't pro fighters,dr death was proven to be a fraud,he was hyped up and then got destroyed by a guy the wwf wasn't interested in pushing
@garethcullen9604 people say the road warriors were tough because they were big and booked to destroy dudes,it's like vader, he was booked the same way and then paul orndorff with 1 good arm and wearing flip flops and retired beat the shit out of him,hawk was battered by droz in the brawl for all and droz was way smaller than him,the brawl for all really did expose the business,wrestlers get mad when people say wrestling is fake but then when they get put in a real fight,they show most of them can't fight,even against other wrestlers
@decollector95 I just gave bart gunn and bob holly credit because of gunn's power and holly's chin,but we saw cm punk in the ufc and he lost to mike jackson,who is the absolute worst fighter in the world,and of course being a navy seal and being a ufc champion is 2 different types of toughness but being a navy seal and being a ufc fighter is real,the wwe guys are scripted to be tough,alot of them back in the day I'm sure were but some dudes would probably get destroyed easily in a fight against a guy with amateur skills,we even saw daniel puder almost snap kurt angle's arm,when these wrestlers go up against anyone with any little bit of skill,they don't stand a chance
This has been one of my favorite interviews. Great job!
I'd like to see Henry give Russo some ....... Southern Justice
Jim Cornett challenged Russo to a duel no guns no knives and shit stain chickened out he would do the same for Henry
@@adamirishconundrum851 and got a restraining order on him.
Bro.
@@fingersTitanBro…..listen……bro…..what you don’t undahstaaaand……about ress-a-ling…….
Was a stupid idea but for some reason its still intriguing.
Great show . Very cool fella. Enjoying it . Thanks
These Godwin vids have been good. Keep up the good work
Henry almost everyone who knows who he is can't stand Vince Russo! Glad you are doing well, I miss those days when I cared about wrestling and it was good!
I'm so glad James is as obsessed with the B4A as i am.
I loved the Brawl For All.
It was horrible. Unnecessary injuries for no increase in business.
Me and my pals got together for it every week and were having a blast watching it as fans. Yeah on the business side yeah no good. Lets be honest they could of said no the wanted bragging rights and a pay day.
@@bullettoothjosh why is "could have" so difficult for muricans? "could of" doesn't even exist or make sense....
The eye roll at the beginning says it all. 😂
I think Jim Cornette would really like this guy.
I hope you asked him about southern discomfort documentary! Everyone should go out of their way to watch it

@@TheNextStep851 Cornette was right from the business and wrestling POV.

Nice to learn another person thinks Russo is a dick.
There are people that don’t think he’s an idiot?
I wonder how the brawl for all would have gone if you included Hulk Hogan, Iron Sheik, Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, even throw Bob Backlund into the mix.
My question! Bradshaw did beat him up quite a bit in the first two rounds and rocked him badly.
The brawl for it all
Did not have Henry mentioning Bill Laimbeer on my BINGO card.
Was a huge fan of southern justice fan
Another great idea. By russo 👋🤣

Lucky for all of them that Haku wasn’t in that brawl for all

Shamrock or Blackman would have ko'd Haku quickly
I think Haku would have won, or Blackman if he had not hurt himself in training (and got his cardio right.)
@@SmallBallPokerthe Internet is full of morons who think haku would take prime Lesnar

Southern Justice titbits are the best, they had such a bad ass look.
Bro da brawwwl for awwwwwwl bro
Bro…..listen……bro…….what you don’t undahstaaaand……about ress-a-ling…….
Why didn't they just wrestle Bart Gunn? Why did they box him when he was a boxer?
Hi
James, I know this is for wrestling but you've GOT to interview butterbean. I'd love to hear about this and his DDP stuff as well as his boxing/mma stories. I think it's close enough to where people will forgive you for it not being a wrestler haha
I'll never forgive Southern Justice and Jeff Jarrett for attacking that camera man on Raw in 1998 and shaving the man's head.
I'm guessing you're the camera man
Holy hell, just post the full interview you bloody w⚓️
this differentiated the real tough guys from the fake tough guys
Road Warrior Hawk got badly exposed. Still people to this day make excuses for him
For what business purpose? Unnecessary injuries and it was bad for business. No money was ever made with the planned Austin v Steve Williams feud.
