The most funny thing about the Abdullah the Butcher thing is that it wasn't the only time somebody "died" and then just came back on a Halloween Havoc PPV. The Giant fell off the roof of the Arena "to his death" after a monster truck thing with Hogan, only to completely no sell it and come out for his World Title match against Hogan later in the night like nothing happened.
Not just later in the night.......it was part of the same segment. He falls off the building. Hogan screams in horror, and starts crying. Then comes to the ring, still crying, because he essentially just killed a guy. And then out comes the Giant, and later in the segment a giant mummy came out, and for reasons that were never explained, they proceeded to start dry humping Hogan's legs.
@jeremywillians5141 Rather watch Vince Russo's WCW than today's viewerless and unwatchable WWE, AEW, TNA, NWA, NJPW, etc. 🤮 So would the 10 million people not watching wrestling today like they did back then... Hater!
God i miss it sometimes. The announcers just ignoring half of what's happening in the ring to talk about what the nWo is up to, and the fans pelting Hogan with garbage, it really was a wonder.
the "judy bagwell on a forklift" match was actually just a regular winner gets the valet / manager / whoever's contract match, which was common, and they actually still do.. the fact she was on a forklift really had nothing to do with the match stipulation. much like lesnar vs reigns was not a tractor match, but there was one in it.
Wasn't WWE crazy or even crazier at the same time? Yet WCW is the bar for stupidity WCW didn't have Hawk commit "suicide" on TV and then not even follow up on it if I'm not mistaken. That's like a million times stupider than something like "That's the Wall" or Warrior's reflection, or the Shockmaster or anything you can think of.
Every time someone says "this company is literally just WCW/TNA," they're always wrong and never have a good explanation. One of the most overused tropes by wrestling fans today.
The finish between Sting and Hogan makes perfect sense. Hogan (as usual, didn't want to do what was best for business) bullied referee Nick Patrick into doing a regular count knowing what would happen and that it would make Sting and Bret Hart look stupid as a result.
Haa! Mean Gene Okerlund was just the best, I'll miss him forever. It was upsetting to learn that barely anyone showed up to his funeral, DDP was there because he's a living angel but you'd think he would've had a big turn out.
I will always love WCW. Yeah, it’s had its issues. But 1992 WCW Saturday Night was my first introduction to pro wrestling… and I was a tween through the Monday night wars… so I freaking loved it. 😊
Everyone talks the "Chaotic" Booking of AEW but modern fans have NO IDEA how good they REALLY have it, add this list And WCW in the year 2000.. But AEW has Stupid booking (right?....RIGHT?)
Bishod challenging McMahon wasn't really that crazy. It was just a competive heel thing to do. Tasteless, sure, but it worked. Also how much WCW relied on Hogan was really crazy.
Obligatory: The ratings were actually going up under Russo. They didn't drop below 3 until after he left. No, he did not kill the company. Even Bryan Zane admits that now.
WCW was the greatest promotion It should still be running It practically was THE BRAND of pro wrestling When you thought of pro wrestling you thought probably WCW. If not WWF Since it was that big and that powerful it makes you wonder why it went out of business When something gets that big and that powerful and becomes a force it just keeps going. DC, Marvel, Chips Ahoy. But not WCW It clearly fell by it's own volition Turner or whoever just didn't want it anymore.
I love you have to reassure gen Z fans that Chamber Of Horrors was real. At 46 years old now I was so disappointed in 1991 that I wasn’t able to watch Havoc 1991 as no TV channel in UK ever showed WCW ppvs, yet I remember the build up to the event quite well, even the point where they changed one of the participants from One Man Gang to Abdullah.
3:32 lol I was 11 I just didn't understand what was going on and most KIDS didn't too because it was an 18 film 📼 so kids didn't really know what the hell was going on
is it good or bad, that years, even decades after some of these, wwe did similar stuff.. Orton lit the fiend on fire and burned him "to death" but he was fine.. also, kane electrocuting shane mcmahon's balls, kane being thrown into a flaming dumpster that exploded.. Ray mysterio had his eye popped out AS THE STIPULATION of a match. wcw's Robocop was bad, but wwe also had scooby doo and multiple other "guest stars" from movies some of which were even "raw gm" for the week. and... the zombie lumberjack match where Miz and Morrison were theoretically eaten by zombies, but were fine for the next show? insert the Hurricane "what's up with that?"
i'm not sure anything wcw did can match the craziness of a 70 year old Mae Young getting "pregnant" after several scenes talking about having sex with Mark Henry, including them in bed together and then she gives birth to a hand! which didn't even promote anything! (also... Katie Vick)
Nothing to do with Owen. Not even sure which one came first with that sting dummy. Owens wife even says they were spoofing Sting when they had Owen coming down from the rafters.
WCW Was To Me At Least The Fox Family To WWE's Walt Disney Company even going out In 2001 scary thought and what really gets my goat Is that people still treat WCW as a joke when It was bigger than TNA and AEW
Who can forget the build up to jake the snake Robert's and sting Halloween havoc in the biker bar with the wheel of doom on a stage people going up to turn it all watched over by the attractive biker babe jake nursing a shot at a corner table before sting bursts in muscle t jeans sunglasses on he walks over to Jake's table and calls him a cowardly yellow bellied chicken jake laughs and says he ain't no chicken and it's sting that's afraid of him sting bangs on the table and demands to fight right there in the bar jake laughs again and says oh no you'll have to wait for the ppv but if he feels brave go spin the wheel which excites the other patrons sting walk s up to the wheel the biker babe eggs sting on while jake and the other patrons chant and bang on the table stomp feet as they all chant spin the wheel make the deal repeatedly as we see the wheel spin and stop on a placard as the bar breaks out into wild applause and cheers the biker babe walks over to sting and says good luck big boy you'll need it and cackles
wcw was the worst and forever be the worst. There wasn't anything creative or entertaining at all. I always turn off my tv after few minutes if wwe shows old wcw matches.
The fact that hogan was given complete creative control is nuts wcw truly was a wacky promotion
If WCW was still around, Hogan would still be there on his 62nd world title.
But that was the only way they can get hogan 😂
I know but still lord have mercy wcw was awful from 99 to 01😂😂😂@@ojlott-w4n

I still wanna know how they did it with the giant falling off the roof
Hope Robocop is present during Sting retirement Match
Sting and Darby will be tagging with Robocop and The Shockmaster
Nope, didn't happen
@@marcohavokkhaosNo shit sherlock. Of course not. It was an absurdist joke. But hey, keep being you.
I was at that Slamboree when Bischoff challenged McMahon. It was in Worcester, MA which is smack in the middle of the old WWF territory.
Rick Steiner getting verbally spanked by Chucky not even making the list is a travesty. 🤣
I felt bad for Steiner on that one. He has to stand there while a puppet cut a pretaped promo on him.

1. When Jim Herd was in charge.

Lmaoo it really was.
Should have had the time Hogan and the viewers saw Warrior in the mirror but Bischoff couldn’t.
I can’t believe Judy Bagwell on a Forklift or Viagra on a Poll hasn’t made this list

I loved WCW, I miss them all the time.
WCW was my childhood.
Large father thrust was absolutely mental
When they make the WCW movie, Nick Patrick must be played by Danny McBride. A dead ringer
Speaking of, Will Ferrell from Eastbound and Down is Flair

@@CurlyFromTheSwirly clever 😂😂😂

Tha fact that nash and hogan told him
"Vinny boy is gonna smash your head" makes ot better hahahaha😂

Every time someone says "this company is literally just WCW/TNA," they're always wrong and never have a good explanation. One of the most overused tropes by wrestling fans today.
Keep in mind, it wasn't that long ago that WWE gouged Rey Mysterio's eye out. The spirit of this lives on.
The finish between Sting and Hogan makes perfect sense. Hogan (as usual, didn't want to do what was best for business) bullied referee Nick Patrick into doing a regular count knowing what would happen and that it would make Sting and Bret Hart look stupid as a result.
The thing is the match was a stupid idea to begin with. Hogan suddenly needs a fast count despite never looking like he was going to lose?
1:23 paused the video to look up Hogan in a lair
Of course Vince didn’t show up when Eric challenged him. Eric bischoff scared the crap out of Vince.
Bishof does martial arts.
McMahon is a spoiled brat.
Haa!
Mean Gene Okerlund was just the best, I'll miss him forever. It was upsetting to learn that barely anyone showed up to his funeral, DDP was there because he's a living angel but you'd think he would've had a big turn out.
DDP is the best. 🙌
honestly: If I had to choose a wrestler to just no selling being electrocuted, I'd choose Abdullah The Butcher, so fair enough I guess
I'm not going to lie, as a teenager I quite enjoyed the mini movies.
Also, the Mean Gene/Natural Born Thrillers was just pure gold.
I will always love WCW. Yeah, it’s had its issues. But 1992 WCW Saturday Night was my first introduction to pro wrestling… and I was a tween through the Monday night wars… so I freaking loved it. 😊
I remember Rick Steiner getting into a battle of wits with Chucky from Child's Play. The inanimate wooden doll won.
I can't stop laughing 😂😂
You should've have had the "satellite" WCW logo falling from a pole, like the pinata; it would've illustrated the company's downfall better...
I mean to be fair, the horse kicked terry funk because terry funk was a goddamn hardcore legend and the horse new he had to defend himself.
Everyone talks the "Chaotic" Booking of AEW but modern fans have NO IDEA how good they REALLY have it, add this list And WCW in the year 2000.. But AEW has Stupid booking (right?....RIGHT?)
Both can be true. Just because WCW stunk up the joint decades ago as well thst doesnt mean AEw isnt also droppin a duece lately.
7:18. The lost clip from Blood Circus
3:17 was badass
Scott Steiner is a gift from God. The most entertaining wrestler ever.
Whats in the box, whats in the boxxx???
Nothing...I repeat NOTHING WCW did is crazier than when WWE had Mae Young pregnant by Mark Henry and she gave birth to a slimy rubber hand.
Mr Cop 😂
I remember that horse kicked the shit out of Terry
That moment when you realize the pyro in the Chamber of Horrors match was better than the Exploding barbed wire deathmatch in AEW.
Wcw was wonderful awful at times. For us in the uk that didn't have access to WWF on sky it was our childhood. Loved it.
10 times WCW was the craziest promotion.
Those 10 times was from 1992 until 2001
Bishod challenging McMahon wasn't really that crazy. It was just a competive heel thing to do. Tasteless, sure, but it worked.
Also how much WCW relied on Hogan was really crazy.
No mention of David Arquette.
Hey at least with WCW,
People actually watched!
And its fans didn't throw online hissy fits when they didn't get their way!
1996. The best year of WcW.
RIP Terry Funk
His name was Mean Gene after all 😂😂😂
Sting has only had 2 friends not eventually turn on him. Robocop and Darby Allin (Yet).
Mini movies were amazing
20 years later and WCW even in the dying days is still better than most American wrestling nowadays
Early 90s WCW was the greatest
Obligatory: The ratings were actually going up under Russo. They didn't drop below 3 until after he left. No, he did not kill the company.
Even Bryan Zane admits that now.
I was like 10 when Robocop showed up amd I remember thinking how ridiculous it was and I liked everything.
Your commentary makes these vids 😂😂😂😂
WCW was the greatest promotion
It should still be running
It practically was THE BRAND of pro wrestling
When you thought of pro wrestling you thought probably WCW. If not WWF
Since it was that big and that powerful it makes you wonder why it went out of business
When something gets that big and that powerful and becomes a force it just keeps going.
DC, Marvel, Chips Ahoy.
But not WCW
It clearly fell by it's own volition
Turner or whoever just didn't want it anymore.
It was the merger with AOL/Time Werner.
1995:
The best year in Hip Hop IMO
The worst year in wrestling IMO
Agree with both
Why are Terry Funk and Chris Candido wearing the same tights in that horse match?
I love you have to reassure gen Z fans that Chamber Of Horrors was real. At 46 years old now I was so disappointed in 1991 that I wasn’t able to watch Havoc 1991 as no TV channel in UK ever showed WCW ppvs, yet I remember the build up to the event quite well, even the point where they changed one of the participants from One Man Gang to Abdullah.
The amount of bad decisions WCW made is astounding.
Anyone who compares AEW to WCW have literally never watched a second of WCW.
I hear Simon I watch ! simple! 🤷🏾♂️
I can't believe y'all managed to make a video of WCW's nuttiest moments and not once mention Vince Russo and his ideas
I had the same thought as hogan and nash, vince would snap eric in half
7:04 Cant say Bischoff wasnt a visionary, realized wwf would become wwe over 5 years before vince did
Simon WCW didn't fall off a cliff it got sucked into a black hole.
Fucking Robocop saving Sting.

Nothing to do with Owen. Not even sure which one came first with that sting dummy. Owens wife even says they were spoofing Sting when they had Owen coming down from the rafters.
