I was in grade 6 when WrestleMania 6 came to Toronto. I was watching wwf on Saturday morning like I did every Saturday morning when either Mean Gene or Jack Tunney announced that warrior and Hogan will be facing off and that it will be at the skydome in Toronto. 20 minutes from my house. I pretty much shit, pissed,and puked at the same time as I ran down the steps yelling at the top of my lungs for my mother to hear that WrestleMania 6 is coming to Toronto. I fell down the steps, and broke my arm..lol I've been to the C.N.E when Hogan vs Ordorff, basically to all the late 80s, and all of 90s house shows at Toronto Maple Leaf Gardens. WrestleMania 6 = Dream come true.. especially at that age. I was a HUGE Hulkamaniac, but I started becoming a warrior fan too..at that era, you never ever saw face vs face.. champion vs champion ...this was fucking huge..I was lucky enough to go..and I'll end my story here ..I can go on for ever about this card. From Andre the giant turning face, demolition winning the titles, Brutus the fucking barber beating Mr.Perfect..seeing Hulk Hogan lose to Warrior was something that can't be put into words. Hogan never ever lost. He was my hero. But, the Ultimate Warrior was awesome too . I got so emotional and started to cry lol I was sad because Hogan lost..it was like now what? But at the same time, if anyone was to beat Hogan, at least it wasnt a " bad guy " so, it was ok the Ultimate Warrior beat him because he was a "good guy " and beat him fare and square and it kinda just made sense...what a night
I was there too..Still have my ticket stub and piece's of the fireworks that Cascade it down when warrior won...I was in grade 9......also 20 min from my house...Peace brah
I was 10 years old for this and remember going to my local arena to watch on the big screen and crying when Hogan lost the belt 😂. I started watching in 1988 and stopped around 2004. This podcast has been an absolute revelation and cause of staying up way too late. Love it boys! Can’t wait for the new one with JR and hopefully Bruce has more lined up as well...can listen to his stories for days
Love these. Gonna listen to them all. It’s like the extras on a DVD. Great matchup with Bruce and Conrad. Love hearing about all this behind the scenes stuff.
I watched the event whilst listening to this and it made it even better. I love these shows anyway and this one is about my favourite wrestlemania ever and really is great too listen to along with the show itself!
Waaaaaiiit a minute Gorilla.... did Finkel say 465? So you're telling me Rhodes only weights 200 pounds??? 565 I would believe, not 465! Because I know damn well Sapphire weighs two and a half!
This was watched by A LOT more people than WrestleMania V thanks to pizza places recognizing the Warrior Hulk main event as the draw it was, and giving the event away for free to HORDES of people. You didn't even have to buy anything. Just come on in and watch the event for free. It was a big deal back then. No pizza places around me carried WrestleMania V or SummerSlam 89'. Believe me I tried them all. Almost all of the ones around me had WrestleMania VI packed in completely. So Warrior/Hulk WAS the bigger draw. Much BIGGER. They were like wall-to-wall packed with people into the entire event. I was there. Too bad you guys on the inside somehow missed that?
Toronto is the unheralded Mecca of 80s WWF. It’s not sexy to say because it’s a Canadian city, where most Americans, who desperately need to cling on to an identity , refused to purchase PPVs that weren’t Amurican but there’s no way Boston or New York could house 60,000 for Hogan Orndorff and return 9 days later and put 14,000 people in a Maple Leaf Gardens house show. And let’s not forget that Wrestlemania 3 was staged in Detroit because it was a border city when you didn’t need a passport to drive over the border. The icing on the cake was how loyal Toronto was at Wrestlemania 18 booing the The Rock out of the building and it could have been a stone Cold or Jesus Christ and it would have played out the same.
1:04:55 not that it matters, but Steve Allen was actually married to Jayne Meadows (Audrey's sister) Love listening to the show, only recently started binging it on the google machine.
I do remember watching an old WCW/NWA tape (Great American bash 1989) where of all people, Jim Ross was on commentary and he was talking about Sting (who was wrestling The Great Muta for their TV title) being in a former tag team and having done considerably better than his former partner since then. At that time (July 23, 1989), Sting's former partner was chasing Rick Rude for the WWF Intercontinental Championship having lost it to him at Wrestlemania V three months earlier and would win the title back just 5 weeks later at SummerSlam. He would also win the WWF World title 3 months before Sting won the NWA World title.
Jim Ross has held a grudge against Warrior since the UWF owing to the fact a young Warrior backed Bill Watts against a wall and made him a bitch in front of the locker room.
It was Suburban Commando that Hogan went to film roughly a month after dropping the title to Warrior; Mark Callaway worked on this film as well prior to making his debut as Undertaker
Yea I understand that. Watching Austin vs rock as a kid I thought their feud was real. Even now when I watch back at some of their segments I feel a tension between them, which made it special.
I thought Robert Goulet did one hell of a job and I'm not even Canadian. Especially when he crescendo's toward the end of that rendition. Was great to hear you guys talk about demolition so generously. Hell yes. Interesting factoid: Steve Allen narrated a pretty damn good documentary on the history of professional wrestling which I highly recommend looking up. Tony Shiavone got way too much heat way more than he deserved in my opinion. He would have fit like a glove as a voice of that era. Conrad, you are lucky i like you. How dare you rip one of the best quotes of Gorilla Monsoon 😊
Tyson vs Hogan would have been huge back then and we didn't have social media that's what makes the old days better if you didn't catch everything on tv or read the magazines you would hear it from your friends in school or people in the street I had my VCR recording everything everything was must see tv
Well sounds like a lot of boys were jealous of Warriors success. Hulk Hogan had dominated the 80s and wanted to take a break. A lot of guys in the locker room wanted the success that Ultimate Warrior had in the year 1990. At the time not many people had pay per view and plus it was on at 4PM in the afternoon which was pretty early. Ultimate Warrior went 9 months as WWE Champion. The front office loved Hulk as the man and once he took off for his childs birth (assuming Brooke), sounds like certain guys a la Ted Dibiase thought everything went to hell. Plus it didnt help that Ultimate Warrior went into mania as the WWF Interconential Champion. He needed to give up his belt for the story to make sense. I dont think Hogan would job twice to the Warrior hence no rematch in WWF. its always been a feeling that the only reason Ultimate Warrior went to WCW was to soothe Hogans damn ego. If you believe his POV, he didnt want to job to Warrior.
I'm so fucking sick of Warrior fanboys. Warrior sucked in the ring, was an asshole in real life, had no respect for wrestling and his gimmick had a short shelf-life. In a way it was lucky (for him) he was such a jerk and kept walking out of obligations b/c if he had tried to maintain that gimmick for a long period of time it would've gone completely stale and he wouldn't have been able to con various promotions into giving him lots of cash.
Joseph Boza I remember it being at 4pm and THANK GOD, cuz for some reason my step dad didn’t want us out after 7pm, but he relented and let us stay til 8 (we watched at a friends house).
@@MusicvidsetcThat's funny because I am sick of coming across triple chinned pudgy fuck internet marks trying to shit on Warrior. 1: According to over two dozen people who worked with Warrior he wasn't an asshole. 2: He was a massive draw, second biggest in history so clearly his skills and gimmick were top notch. 3: "Short shelf life." Funny considering he returned in 1996 and drew the biggest numbers out of both promotions and in 1998 his return outdrew both promotions. That's called staying power. 4: He never backed out of a single obligation. He did however stand up for himself against McMahon and McMahon's bullshit. Cry about it.
I loved Gorilla and Bobby but I personally prefer Gorilla and Jesse. Its probably because that's when I first started watching and nostalgia but Jesse was great with Monsoon. As a comedy duo, Gorilla and Bobby were better but I just have an affinity for Jesse's commentary.
@@kurtvanderbogarde8402 Huh? I never knew that but they did have a brief feud around that time so I wouldn't doubt it. Thanks for the info, I'll have to look that up!
Bruce claims the mixed tag wasn’t the first one in wwe history bc they had been doing the match on the house show circuit all summer . So they had been doing the match for six months already. Conrad either didn’t notice or let it slide, but summer house shows would be happening for the 6 months AFTER this show, not before
The ppv ended at about 10:30-11pm. Because as Philadelphia WPVI Ch.6 news ended at 11:30, they announced "and the ultimate warrior defeated hulk hogan" and chuckled.
It is a heel thing to do, it doesn't make you a heel. Austin getting cheered for beating the piss out of Cole, stunnering JR etc are heel moves, Austin fans don't see him as a heel however he is booked.
@@CAMZAB and that was a very different time than a decade before that so not really sure what that has to do with anything. Like the entire change in attitude was why they called it....the attitude era.
That remark about Sean being normal, not deserving the breathe the same air Warrior and Hogan did, was just coherent with what WWF was promoting at the time: "the two biggest forces of the universe colliding"
There is an old Frank Sinatra Song called something gotta give where the lyrics say "When an irresistible force such as you Meets an old immovable object like me" I think monsoon had a gimmick where he would sing Italian songs before he wrestled. I would think that's where he got it from
John Tenta was an absolute beast. Theres been a lot of big guys that moved well....vader yokozuna bossman (he was close to 4 bills at one point) big show. But Earthquake seemed to move a bit quicker then all of them
The Raptors use to play in the SkyDome? I had no idea. I know they don't anymore and play where the Maple Leafs play but I thought that was always the case.
I just can’t believe this.... as grown middle aged man... I get “Warrior “ never drawed But my childhood was based around Hulk Hogan and warrior was the secondary crazy uncle taking over wrestling... that was super cool When pay per view came up my little mind was blow. I don’t care to hear it didn’t draw ... it’s gem of my childhood
I believe they made mention of that when goulet came out to sing and that he was singing Canada's anthem to their Ali v Spinks... Not 100% on that, but at very least if it wasn't said outright someone -most likely Vince himself- was definitely thinking that
Jesse the body comments about Tito Santana wasn’t racist but Roddy Piper doing Blackface was definitely racist which is why peacock streaming network won’t air that match on the network that match is removed from Wrestlemania 6
Utter bullshit on Bruce’s comments about UW on the Arsenio Hall show. Yeah UW was a dick, but Bruce has so much bitterness towards the man that he can’t bring himself to say when he did anything good. UW on AH was great.
I can see how Hogan would have thought dropping the title to Warrior to film a movie with Christopher Lloyd, who was hot after the Back to the Future trilogy was a good idea. Considering No Holds Barred grossed over 16 million, I can see how maybe they thought they could get about 30 million? Unfortunately, Warrior is unfairly buried in his victory over a miscalculated misadventure by Hogan.
Belzer never stated it was fake although his attitude and mannerisms were extremely disrespectful to Hulk and T. He asked to be put in a hold with a snicker
Announcement for the house...10,000 in attendance. Monsoon says I think its 12,000. Monsoon is saying that the show was so popular that people were sneaking in
AM.gaming and cards Abdul-muhyee he should have been. Ted was a world class wrestler and Warrior was a horrible wrestler who couldn’t draw flies to shit.
I've seen some interviews where Ted talked about Warrior and the problems I think he had with Warrior was with his behavior and disrespectful manner toward the business.
When it came out that it was "The Ultimate Challenge" ... you knew Warrior was winning it. It had his name in it. Obvious really. And as for the ring carts that were used at WM3 and WM6 ... there was a scissor lift cart in Detroit because Hulk's cart actually rose up above the crowd so everyone could see him posing as he was leaving after beating André.
Conrad, reading from Hogan's book; you says Hogan took the belt from referee Hebner to hand to Warrior spite the referee is supposed to. Because Im now going to get back what he is going to take from me.....Wait a minute. If thats his thought process; then he pushed jealousy with the WCW Halloween Havoc match. Because that was supposed to be getting the win back.
Short memories you guys have. "Octagon" (1980) was a top Martial Arts action movie. As always, you borrowed something "hot" from pop culture to make your product seem more "hip" and relevant. That's where the Octagon comes from. And you are quite welcome . . .now . . . where's my Wendy's with double meat, double cheese, double onions . . .
"Actually guys" guy has arrived! And just like actually guy does, he had to prove he knew more than everyone else about the SINGLE dumbest point of the entire video.
The dumbest part of every video is its comments section. "Oh-you didn't KNOW that?" And thanks for your contribution to the dumbest. Can you hear the chant from the crowd, man? "One of us! One of us!"
WELL YOU KNOW THEY SAID IT WAS MY LAST RIDE MAN, YESTERDAY WHEN I FINISHED HANGIN AND BANGIN WHEN I JUMPED ON THE HARLEY MAN AS I WENT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AS I HEADED FOR THE MOUNTAINS SOME OF THE NONBELIEVERS IN THE GYM SAID SEE YA LATER HULKSTER MAN THIS IS YOUR LAST RIDE, IT ATE ME ALIVE BROTHERS WHEN I FELT THE FURY AS I RIPPED AS I TORE THE SHIRT AS I HEADED FOR THE SUNSET MAN I LOOKED DOWN BROTHERS AND AS THE SUN BEAMED OFF THE GOLD IN MY EYE I REALIZED YOU GOTTA LIVE AND DIE AND YOU GOTTA FACE THE TRUTH AND FOR YOU ANDRE THE GIANT IT'S TIME TO FACE THE TRUTH BROTHER, IN IT'S PUREST FORM MAN THE PUREST TRUTH THERE IS MAN THE TRAINING THE SAYING THE PRAYERS THE EATIN THE VITAMINS AND TO BEAT ME MAN YOU GOTTA BEAT EVERY HULKAMANIC EVERY LITTLE HULKSTER IN THE WORLD ALL THE ONES THAT PLAYS IT STRAIGHT ALL THE ONES THAT DON'T TAKE ANY SHORTCUTS BROTHER AND THEY USUALLY SAY IF THE DIRTY AIR DON'T GET YA THE POLITICIANS WILL BUT IN THIS CASE IT'S GONNA BE HULKAMANIA AND THE REASON IT'S GONNA GET YA MAN IT'S THE PUREST FORM OF THE TRUTH THERE IS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GO DOWN AT THE FEET OF HULKAMANIA IN FRONT OF 90'000 PLUS HERE IN THE SILVERDOME....WATCHA GONNA DO ANDRE THE GIANT WHEN THE REAL TRUTH THE 24 INCH PYTHONS AND HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU??
And hey, I'm sure it's not as dramatic as people will make this out to be (your comment) but you're pretty much right on the money about that in retrospect. Especially given the exit of Andre's tenure and Hulk going out with the loss which was unheard of at the time. And 1990 was infact a year of changes to be sure.
Robert Goulet is a crooner--a song stylist, interpreting song hits from his generation's youth. When he (like Judy Garland) strayed into more modern Top 40 he tanked so bad they started to call him "Sherman". Sherman . . . It's called a book, people. Read one.
There have been very few Manias with this kinda legendary Main Event, WM3, WM5&6, WM 8, then I can't think of anymore til Austin vs HBK, Rock vs Cena, Rock vs Hogan just to name a few more

I’m disappointed that they didn’t bring up Jesse going nuts when the Dusty/Sapphire total combined weight was announced. It was hilarious

The soap-box sign-off by Conrad about voting on the poll was the shit. Loved it! Great episode. G'day from Australia.
By far the best Wrestlemania
I think if they did WM5 savage hogan in a bigger stadium or arena even it would’ve been better because the buildup was better.
That warrior promo was spot on! Well done!
wm6 was my first viewing of wrestling,,,watched it from then til 2008
I watch these just to hear Bruce's impersonations.
It was Suburban Commando that Hogan went to film roughly a month after dropping the title to Warrior; Mark Callaway worked on this film as well prior to making his debut as Undertaker
There will never be another wrestlemania main event as big as this one !
Austin Ryan Rock vs Austin 17 was a big deal though
Brandon Lee very true , thats probably the next one as far as big names goes. Im a bit old school though so hulk v warrior blew my mind !
Yea I understand that. Watching Austin vs rock as a kid I thought their feud was real. Even now when I watch back at some of their segments I feel a tension between them, which made it special.
Brandon Lee loool the ones you thought were real were always the best !
It was big, but I still can’t place it about Hulk and Andre. Close though
Loved the Robert Goulet story at 25:43
He sort of had his own "Wrestlemania Moment."
1:09:29 Gotta be his best Dusty I've heard

Matt R sadly, now goulet and vader are gone. RIP
Jake Roberts vs. DiBiase - my #1 rank favorite match of all time - they use the crane for great camera shots. What a match, INCREDIBLE
Ultimate Warrior versus Hulk Hogan was a great match in wrestlemania 6....
Bruce claims the mixed tag wasn’t the first one in wwe history bc they had been doing the match on the house show circuit all summer . So they had been doing the match for six months already. Conrad either didn’t notice or let it slide, but summer house shows would be happening for the 6 months AFTER this show, not before

I was there! We had nose bleed tickets but when we got there, we were instantly upgraded to lower seats (1st bowl)
what are nose bleed tickets yo
Tickets that are way up in the back of a venue where the performers look like ants.
We have many happy listers. After Bruce's Impression of Vince intro. Me and the homies. Yes you do. That was great

Lol my god , bruce and schiavone both hate meltzer with a passion
fish stix4u, Bischoff too.
fish stix4u - - - Eric hates him too.. Lols
@@JoeyMartz Prichard and ATM Eric are proven liars, conman and frauds, Dave has exposed them numerous times.
@@MattSingh1Eric Bischoff is none of the above and the only thing Meltzer has exposed is himself to his boyfriend Bryan Alvarez.
1:34:38 What you came here for.
Warrior all time best
Damn I hope you're trolling
Richard Belzer also played Det Munch in Law & Order for like 20 years lol
Sorry Bruce, Steve Allen was married to Audrey Meadows’ sister Jayne, not Audrey herself....
John Tenta was an absolute beast. Theres been a lot of big guys that moved well....vader yokozuna bossman (he was close to 4 bills at one point) big show. But Earthquake seemed to move a bit quicker then all of them
Bundy and Bigelow come to mind as well
@@davidmcconnell683 Bam Bam for sure
35:38 you're welcome
The Raptors use to play in the SkyDome? I had no idea. I know they don't anymore and play where the Maple Leafs play but I thought that was always the case.
20:44
I get so tired of everyone saying Warrior had no wrestling game. Watch WrestleMania 7. Schooled!
That match was what it was because of macho man.
Macho had a bad back during that match carrying Jim everywhere!
I just can’t believe this.... as grown middle aged man...
I get “Warrior “ never drawed
But my childhood was based around Hulk Hogan and warrior was the secondary crazy uncle taking over wrestling... that was super cool
When pay per view came up my little mind was blow. I don’t care to hear it didn’t draw ... it’s gem of my childhood
Don't believe everything you hear regarding Warrior, especially from Prichard. Warrior is the second biggest draw in the history of the business.
I prefer to call him by meng....it fit him so much better then haku legit bad ass also.
Haku or Meng, the dude is legend and loved forever
Goulet was a crooner. Goulet sang the national anthem at the Ali vs Spinks fight
I believe they made mention of that when goulet came out to sing and that he was singing Canada's anthem to their Ali v Spinks... Not 100% on that, but at very least if it wasn't said outright someone -most likely Vince himself- was definitely thinking that
Dave Meltzer was the janitor 🪠🚽🪣🧹
Jesse the body comments about Tito Santana wasn’t racist but Roddy Piper doing Blackface was definitely racist which is why peacock streaming network won’t air that match on the network that match is removed from Wrestlemania 6
Utter bullshit on Bruce’s comments about UW on the Arsenio Hall show. Yeah UW was a dick, but Bruce has so much bitterness towards the man that he can’t bring himself to say when he did anything good. UW on AH was great.
I can see how Hogan would have thought dropping the title to Warrior to film a movie with Christopher Lloyd, who was hot after the Back to the Future trilogy was a good idea. Considering No Holds Barred grossed over 16 million, I can see how maybe they thought they could get about 30 million? Unfortunately, Warrior is unfairly buried in his victory over a miscalculated misadventure by Hogan.
That Smash impression tho
Warrior vs Bravo sounds terrible. No wonder it didnt draw
Belzer never stated it was fake although his attitude and mannerisms were extremely disrespectful to Hulk and T. He asked to be put in a hold with a snicker
Announcement for the house...10,000 in attendance. Monsoon says I think its 12,000. Monsoon is saying that the show was so popular that people were sneaking in
Does anyone else have a feeling ted dibiase a jealous hater when comes to warrior
AM.gaming and cards Abdul-muhyee he should have been. Ted was a world class wrestler and Warrior was a horrible wrestler who couldn’t draw flies to shit.
Steve A yea it’s a show warrior was better showman Iam a fan of ted but come on reverse the roles no way
I've seen some interviews where Ted talked about Warrior and the problems I think he had with Warrior was with his behavior and disrespectful manner toward the business.
When it came out that it was "The Ultimate Challenge" ... you knew Warrior was winning it. It had his name in it. Obvious really.
And as for the ring carts that were used at WM3 and WM6 ... there was a scissor lift cart in Detroit because Hulk's cart actually rose up above the crowd so everyone could see him posing as he was leaving after beating André.
I was there!
Lmao that warrior impersonation where you can't understand wtf is being said for the first few seconds... yup thats spot on
Does Conrad think everything is a rib?
Conrad, reading from Hogan's book; you says Hogan took the belt from referee Hebner to hand to Warrior spite the referee is supposed to. Because Im now going to get back what he is going to take from me.....Wait a minute. If thats his thought process; then he pushed jealousy with the WCW Halloween Havoc match. Because that was supposed to be getting the win back.
Short memories you guys have. "Octagon" (1980) was a top Martial Arts action movie. As always, you borrowed something "hot" from pop culture to make your product seem more "hip" and relevant. That's where the Octagon comes from. And you are quite welcome . . .now . . . where's my Wendy's with double meat, double cheese, double onions . . .

"Actually guys" guy has arrived! And just like actually guy does, he had to prove he knew more than everyone else about the SINGLE dumbest point of the entire video.
The dumbest part of every video is its comments section. "Oh-you didn't KNOW that?" And thanks for your contribution to the dumbest. Can you hear the chant from the crowd, man? "One of us! One of us!"
"double meat, double cheese, double onion MOTHERFUCKER!"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
EXTRA MAYO...Motherfuckerssss!!
The Hogan match on Superstars was against Bravo, not Quake... jeez conrad.... jeez
stfu smark!
Back to the dungeon, kiddo
Scott Hall kicks like Perfect and Rock too
Many wrestlers use Hennig ingredients, but nobody as Perfect as him tho
No, pretty sure bobby said the F word 3 or 4 times. He also said it on WCW with Brian Pillman.
I love Bruce but come on. The Hitmen, as in "Hitman Hart", & their colors are pink & black. Who are you trying to fool lol?
I wonder if prichard watched warrior on regis and kathy lee. he actually acted like himself and not the warrior character
You sure that wasnt Kerry von Erich?
The easiest way to upset Conrad is to not agree with what his dirt rag god Meltzer says.
WELL YOU KNOW THEY SAID IT WAS MY LAST RIDE MAN, YESTERDAY WHEN I FINISHED HANGIN AND BANGIN WHEN I JUMPED ON THE HARLEY MAN AS I WENT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AS I HEADED FOR THE MOUNTAINS SOME OF THE NONBELIEVERS IN THE GYM SAID SEE YA LATER HULKSTER MAN THIS IS YOUR LAST RIDE, IT ATE ME ALIVE BROTHERS WHEN I FELT THE FURY AS I RIPPED AS I TORE THE SHIRT AS I HEADED FOR THE SUNSET MAN I LOOKED DOWN BROTHERS AND AS THE SUN BEAMED OFF THE GOLD IN MY EYE I REALIZED YOU GOTTA LIVE AND DIE AND YOU GOTTA FACE THE TRUTH AND FOR YOU ANDRE THE GIANT IT'S TIME TO FACE THE TRUTH BROTHER, IN IT'S PUREST FORM MAN THE PUREST TRUTH THERE IS MAN THE TRAINING THE SAYING THE PRAYERS THE EATIN THE VITAMINS AND TO BEAT ME MAN YOU GOTTA BEAT EVERY HULKAMANIC EVERY LITTLE HULKSTER IN THE WORLD ALL THE ONES THAT PLAYS IT STRAIGHT ALL THE ONES THAT DON'T TAKE ANY SHORTCUTS BROTHER AND THEY USUALLY SAY IF THE DIRTY AIR DON'T GET YA THE POLITICIANS WILL BUT IN THIS CASE IT'S GONNA BE HULKAMANIA AND THE REASON IT'S GONNA GET YA MAN IT'S THE PUREST FORM OF THE TRUTH THERE IS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU GO DOWN AT THE FEET OF HULKAMANIA IN FRONT OF 90'000 PLUS HERE IN THE SILVERDOME....WATCHA GONNA DO ANDRE THE GIANT WHEN THE REAL TRUTH THE 24 INCH PYTHONS AND
HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOU??
Wrestlemania 6, the day the 'Golden Age' of wrestling died.
And hey, I'm sure it's not as dramatic as people will make this out to be (your comment) but you're pretty much right on the money about that in retrospect. Especially given the exit of Andre's tenure and Hulk going out with the loss which was unheard of at the time. And 1990 was infact a year of changes to be sure.
I would've said '93 or 94 was...
So, moral of the story is: BRET IS THE GOAT!
You realise the thumbnail reads "So Mething To Wres" #PoorlyChosenLogo
#METHIN
Hahahah didnt even catch that , thanks big lol
Fun Fact: Conrad Thompson Deep Fries his hand before he bites his Fingernails.
Robert Goulet is a crooner--a song stylist, interpreting song hits from his generation's youth. When he (like Judy Garland) strayed into more modern Top 40 he tanked so bad they started to call him "Sherman".
Sherman . . .
It's called a book, people. Read one.
Unstoppable force vs immovable object is Aristotelian
irresistible force.
Warrior impression was pretty awesome too lol
Gorilla and bobby all day long. You don’t even need to ask that question!!
OMG Bruce's Warrior imitation LOL!!!
Bruce is fuckin hilerious! those impressions!!! lol
Beefcake is a gay bottom.
The Warrior was already blown up by the time he reached the ring. Great look. Zero cardio.
@@WildBillCox13Incorrect.
There have been very few Manias with this kinda legendary Main Event, WM3, WM5&6, WM 8, then I can't think of anymore til Austin vs HBK, Rock vs Cena, Rock vs Hogan just to name a few more
Austin rock…. I’d put hart hbk there… last one I’d say as a now casual is rock cent…. Does lesner reigns fit the bill??
