- What's up crew! We are back with WWF Hasbro wrestling figures series 5 review. get ready for some cartoon characters as we jump into one of the most interesting eras of the WWF
I just want to tell the reason I started my own Hasbro collection is because of your videos.
Keep up the great work
Thanks very much man. I love hearing that!!
Owen and Koko were High Energy. Owen teamed with Anvil as The New Foundation using the High Energy baggy clothes. Barbarian teamed with Haku at the time of Warlord's repackaging. He did join The Headshrinkers as Sionne
That is that Jim the anvil Neidhart from New Foundation who he teamed with Owen then Neidhart was fired then Owen started teaming with koko B Ware as .High Engry great video man loved it nice series 5 was one my favorites.
Thanks for the clarification. I knew it was some combination of the three! The New Foundation....that's it! Thanks for watching man!
Great Video my dude. I'm a wrestling historian so I love when you break down the careers of the wrestlers. I love that Rick Martel figure that pose is amazing. you're the best wrestling figure reviewer on You Tube no doubt about that.
Rotundo was actually Wallstreet before IRS. He did use Wallstreet again when he went back to WCW as you said.
just a small correction. The Skyscrapers were originally Sid Vicious and "Dangerous" Dan Spivey managed by HOFer Teddy Long.
You are correct as well. Mean Mark Callous did team with Dan Spivey as the Skyscrapers. Mark was brought in to replace an injured Sid.
Man I love corrections....means you are paying attention!! Thanks!!
some more really cool figures in this series, I have the Randy Savage coming this week, its just a shame about the legs! I always felt sorry for the Warlord, he had to carry that wand thing hahaha the Barbarian would have been cool
Ha!....yeah the Warlord staff with the big W on it!
Going back to revisit an older entry into the revolution archives before the revolution became new. I love this Hasbro series, it’s my go-to video series as a collector and longtime fan of wrestling and wrestling figures. Not a huge fan of the Savage figure just based on playability but it displays nicely, he was my favourite wrestler growing up and remains one of my favourites today looking back. I always loved the Rick Martel figure, and always liked him as a worker too. Man, I could shoot the breeze about wrestling with you for hours. Love hearing you talking about the history of the business. Wonderful video, I love being able to go back and watch these as well as enjoying the incredible new show. Happy Christmas sir.
I appreciate being able to read a new comment on an old video. You are one of a bunch of people who make this really fun for me!
Ahhh, The Mountie. Whenever I think of him, I remember the "Go to Jail" match between him and the Big Bossman. So cheesy, but I loved it!
Cheese-a-rific! Didn't they actually haul him off and put him in a cell?
Yeah they did... And I believe one of the "inmates" found him to be quite attractive lol
HAHAHAHAHA!! Can't wait to see that again
The 80's Revolution Seeing the Mountie's reaction is worth it lol
Whatcha gonna do brother!!? When the Revolution runs wild on you!!?!! Great vid man keep em coming!
brother....brother.....brother....dude....brother!
Great videos I love your videos you have a good collection you have the best man can grads God bless
Thanks man.....you are my OFFICIAL Information Corrector!
Signed up to RUclips just so I could give you a compliment. Nice work!
Wow man....thanks alot. That really means alot. You guys enjoying my stuff is the only reason I make these videos....well that and I get to enjoy my own crap too! Thanks again and enjoy the rest of the channel.
Thanks again..Well..you said it best,"Wrestling became unbearable during the early "90's ".I unfortunately couldn't agree more. I graduated in " 93 ,and was into wrestling about the same time as you. So I relate with your story telling. I was one of the biggest wrestling fans from about 1983-1989.I remember going to my first house show at the Baltimore Civic Center in September " 85.It was awesome. Hogan wasn't even on the card and it was almost sold out,about 16,000 fans. I can still to this day remember the entire card from the opening bout ,"Tiger Chung Lee defeating Sal Bellomo to the main event,"Intercontinental Title bout, Tito Santana vs. Rowdy Roddy Piper "with each result and what happened during the show. I loved how they would have interviews promoting each and every local house show. By doing that they built up hype and pumped up the story line. It worked! It was a special and unforgettable time. Fast forward to the last card I went to "93..They had every top star at the time on the card and there was maybe 1500 people. They would have the same card going from arena to arena. I remember a few bouts from that " 93 show. It had no wow factor.It was very boring and very hard to watch. It was cheap,I felt ripped off. It was also probably very boring for the wrestlers as well. I thought at the ripe ole age of 18 that perhaps I just grew out of it. But what happened is that they ruined something so special. Even though I always knew it was fake,I still loved it and literally couldn't wait to see what happened next. However once WWF was not even attempting to make it believable in the "90's with the cartoon characters and forgettable storylines. I felt like if they don't believe it,why should I. I certainly didn't want to feel that way,but they made me feel that way. Evidently, I was far from the only one .The drop in attendance from " 85 to "93 was no fluke. Anyway,I enjoy you taking us back into time to the glory days of wrestling. I find it very interesting. It seems like the wrestling videos that you do are your most popular. Or maybe just my favorites, lol. Ever consider recording some discussion shows/videos on some 1980's house shows that you attended?Or perhaps any 1980's wrestling topics. Just an idea..I would definitely be interested in hearing what you had to say about it. I don't think I would be alone. I bet you would get lots of views. Something about your pure, honest, and unbiased delivery of the history of wrestling is very captivating and a breath of fresh air. I don't believe wrestling will ever have that magic that it had in the " 80's. As Mean Gene and Gorilla would say," the electric is so thick you can cut it with a knife". It was true,watch some old matches on you tube and look how different the crowd reacts to matches. Not to mention the commentating/announcing is way better. A huge difference. Thanks for all your time you put in!!!Please seriously consider my suggestion,you would be great at it.
I'm not too familiar with emoji's but if I was, I was put one of someone bowing to you here. Thanks for your memories and your feedback on my stuff. It really is the ONLY reason I take time to do these. Maybe if I grow to be a you tube millionaire, I'll do it for the money but right now, I'm a you tube $35.00-aire. I absolutely love your ideas for some future stuff on the channel. I have a good idea but I'm waiting until I unveil my most prized possessions but it will have to do with reviewing house shows, TV shows, and PPV's of this era. I'll make that announcement this weekend and see what people think.
Again, thanks for the kind words. My videos are long and I talk alot but I like to tell the story and not just the memory but the emotion behind it.
I very much look forward to that. You will do great.I believe bro!!!
Hey brother, this is the same Gary from the other threads (using my non-work profile here). Fantastic review as always. I am super-psyched about the possibility of videos where you review house shows, tv shows, etc. I think that is a fantastic idea.
I gotta tell ya, when I watch your videos and you tell your stories, I can't believe how much our paths are similar. I too, lost interest in WWE programming in about mid '93, and switched to WCW. I honestly believe I followed those characters (who many times were the original LJN figures, then Hasbros) because I felt like I had a connection with those characters.
Another idea my friend: just throwing this out there, but have you ever thought about doing a video focused primarily on the Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling cartoon? I think you would knock that out of the park.
Keep up the good work!
Gary Furr hey same Gary as the other Gary! Great suggestion man. I will absolutely do a rock and wrestling cartoon review
What's up Revolution!! Series 5? LETS GO!! Big fan of that Hulk, still have my galoob Sid with bare ass cheeks 😂. Demolition broke many Strike Force fans hearts that night 🙌🏻. Poor Barry still remember his entrance 😔its burned in my skull. Lucky!! You have his shock stick...Nother great vid brother take care!
Thanks man!..Always appreciate the feedback
Awesome video!!
Thanks alot man!. Welcome to the channel
According to a wrestling collectables book i have, Repo and Neidhart were in Series 6. ???
Repo Man was series 6. Love your videos man
thanks for the info......keep loving the videos man...more to come!
Rick Martel did win the WCW television title in 1998. But it didn't last long.
I only want an IRS to stand next to my Bray Wyatt Mattel retro
yes Barbarian did team with Fatu as part of the headshrinkers
I remember he was headshrinker sione
It was at royal rumble 91 that VirGil turn on the million dollar man
The Powers of Pain history was a little different. Barb didnt leave right away. Fuji sold Warlord to Slick and Barb to Heenan. Barb and Haku would occasionally team. Later on down the road, Barb, under the name Sionne replaced one of the original Headshrinkers. (I knew he wasnt an original Headshrinker, had to look up to remember the history.)
Man, its been so long. I can't wait to finally re-watch all this stuff and put all the pieces together
Owen and Koko were High Energy. (Best way to remember-Anvil would never be in anything "High Energy". Lol) i always forget which is first so i looked it up-New Foundation, then High Energy. And yes, they had both teams wear those stupid taxi cab outfits.
yes, the silly checkered outfits. I love all these history lessons!
i love the videos... but cmon man.. what was more carrtoony, IRS or the Dungeon of doom? and what was goofier the repo man or mr hole in one darsow? lol i love all of your collections, boss!
The Neidhart figure I also didn't like because much like the series one bossman he had a small head compared to the others. And poor Barbarian really got the shaft, no Ljn, no Hasbro.
I know.....what did the Barbarian do so wrong lol
It’s called hulk python punch
"Atomizer" might be the word you are looking for when talking about the canister Martel used.
Martel belongs in the Hall.
He had some good matches with Booker in WCW.
Macho man did not show up on nitro for his WCW debut it was WCW Saturday night December 4, 1994
Thank you sir!
Hi 80s revolution I still haven't got my hammer yet
Should be there Monday
Ok thanks
It was Summerslam 91
80's Revolution after you stopped watching WWF in 94 did you pick it back up again later in the 90's during the attitude era?
I pretty much switched over to wcw....I watched very sporadically in the attitude era. Kind of followed from a distance
Those were great years. Nitro was great through 95-98. I would watch Raw and then the Nitro replay right after. But I felt 99-01 WCW was really bad, almost unwatchable especially the last year before they went under.
yes....I just completed watching NWA/WCW from 84 to close the the last couple years were very bad. I hate to say I fast forwarded through alot of it
New foundation that's what it was
Sid Justice. So as I recall he got that name due to how he came into the WWF. I think he came in 1st as a special guest referee for SummerSlam's match made in hell. And you know, with a last name like Justice, he must be a fair, down the middle guy. Perfect for a referee pal.
I always had mixed feelings about this Macho. Although I loved that look of Savage in that era, the frills on the arms looked like wings and the action was awful. I did not use this for play that much. But It's good as an entrance look. What really annoys me is that this is the first Macho in full ring gear but he has no sun glasses. They left the glasses off the only non ring gear savage.
Okay now it's time for the sentimental story portion of my comment. So a great athlete is a descriptor that never applied to me, but damn did I ever try hard. These figures came out in my area in the summer and I was struggling in little league baseball. My mom bought the series but didn't tell me as she wanted to use them as rewards. She wanted to reward me with my efforts on the field but unfortunately the only hit that ever got me on base was when the ball hit me. So she had to stretch to find a reason to reward me. I remember her telling me on the way how how proud she was of me and although I couldn't get a hit, I looked very processional in my uniform. She then rewarded me with the Model figure.
Barbarian actually did join the Headshrinkers. He was called (pardon the spelling) Siony? I think he replaced Samu. But you're aloud to mess that up cause it happened in the 90's. Loved that warlord as a kid. Got a lot of miles on him.
Great stuff man. I'm sure you ran out on the field and took your position like a champ! I remembered after Barbarian was indeed Sionne or Sione. I remember he had weird slicked back hair with tiny little curls in the back. Why do I remember that? Not sure.
Hey man, you look good so I hope you're feeling better. A question for you. Who do you think was Ted DiBiase's best tag team partner, Mike Rotunda or Dr. Death Steve Williams?
I feel great man....thanks alot for asking. Good question.....While I am partial to Mike Rotundo, I'm partial to 1985 Rotundo. I think Steve Williams takes it only because Dibiase teamed with 1992/93 Rotundo. I also think Steve Williams was best as a nasty, aggressive heal.
Yeah man, Dr. Death & DiBiase were my all time favorite tag team! I was so happy when Williams got to WWF, then he lost to Bart Gunn in that boxing match! Glad you're feeling better!
O' Blivion the worst thing that could have ever happened to Steve Williams was the kayfabe destroying brawl for all
I wonder how well Virgil's figure sold. #lonelyvirgil
I think the final count was right around 9 total sales
It was 1991 that virgil turn on dibiase by hitting him with the million dollar belt after a match against dusty rhodes and dustin rhodes.
yes...he got tired of being bossed around by MDM and finally stood up for himself! And for that, he got to wear weird red striped tights!
Summer slam 91
Owen Hart team with both.
*Soul TRAIN Jones
Skinner wrestled at wrestlemania 8 against or one heart the rocket and he lost to Owen
* sorry my voice recognition messes up *Owen Hart
Barbarian was a part of Head shrinkers towards the end but they didn't last and he went to WCW
Have you ever checked out the wrestling memorabilia blog? I think you'd dig it. wrestlingmemorabilia.blogspot.ca/
Hey! Actually, I have checked out that blog in the past. I think I always saw the link on various wrestling forums. Cool collection of stuff!
Let me help with your questions regarding The Mountie. As a Canadian, and someone who actually works for the RCMP (I am not a Mountie but work with them), they do carry guns but do not carry shock sticks. The red outfit is strictly a ceremonial one that is only worn on special occasions. It is how the rest of the world recognizes the Mounties though. So there you have it. I liked that character as a kid, probably because he was Canadian and always made me laugh when he said "I'm the Mountie". Too funny!
What? No shock sticks? You mean to tell me the wwf mislead us? Damn you OG for destroying kayfabe
Maybe behind closed doors they whip out the shock sticks, "You better talk eh".
Phunkimunk yeah and those over exaggerated shock sounds fill the station
