Huge thanks to the Fish & Chips Patreon for this match. They recently obtained a large number of WWF/E production tapes. Similar to the usual satellite feed clips I normally post, these tapes include dark matches, tapings for Jakked/Metal/Heat and other fascinating off air footage. Anyone interested in seeing these full tapings and many more dark matches, feel free to support the Patreon below: patreon.com/user?u=110961841&Link& Any support helps unearth some more of these rare gems!
Crowbar is MASSIVELY underrated. Kinda weird to see him only have have tryout matches a month after WCW died (with the Devin Storm name even though he clearly was in his Crowbar character here) and...apperantly, he never got signed even for the Invasion, ouch.
Wait a minute, John Cena walking down the ramp with the Ovaltron in the background, wrestling with black trunks, elbow pads, black leather wrist bands, bleached blonde hair, wrestling the former WCW Crowbar in a WWF attitude era ring on a Sunday Night Heat show?

John cena in the attitude era
Back when John Cena was a Create-A-Wrestler. "Making his way to the ring..[prototype]".
Generic CAW model 3, plus the smackdown games have the name "prototype" on there
Crowbar's response from the crowd was huge considering he had been off of tv for awhile at this point.
I believe he was off TV ever since the buyout of WCW
His theme music sounds like red hot chilli peppers song suck my kiss
Storm just followed me on Twitter this morning and this gets posted. Pretty cool.
John Cena In WWF is Crazy And YES this Is a Dark Match Non Televised not Aired. 🤖THE PROTOTYPE🤙🏾💀
Nah, you're right. John Cena made his debut in the WWF, not WWE. Goes to show you his longevity, wrestling since 1999.
@@dabellwrites6888I think the OPs point above was that Cena’s official TV debut was post-May 2022 when WWF became WWE? Sorry if I have misunderstood.
Id be glad to see some more ive been looking for one for so long thank you for posting this
I've always been a big of fan of this Prototype!!!
Thank you so much for this
They had Crowbar from WCW but didn't use him for the WCW/ECW storyline?? Wtf
Crowbar should've been in the Alliance. He could work a match and was more seasoned than all of the power plant guys they threw on TV.

7:15 - Nice sell spot by Cena
Wait a minute, John Cena walking down the ramp with the Ovaltron in the background, wrestling with black trunks, elbow pads, black leather wrist bands, bleached blonde hair, wrestling the former WCW Crowbar in a WWF attitude era ring on a Sunday Night Heat show?
That good ol CROWBAR
Cena's music sounds similar to, "PAY THE PRICE, " used by Charlie Haas later on.
I heard Crowbar talked about this match on an interview he did not long ago
The Boring Chants at The Guy Who would one day be THE FACE Of The entire Industry: God Writes the BEST Scripts in Life.
An oddly low key match considering what a legend Cena would eventually become, comparatively speaking.
Why did the ring look bigger back then it looks smaller these days
Do you have any Eva Marie dark matches??
Do you have Prototype vs. Chris Chetti from 4/9/2001?
I wonder what ever happened to Devon Shark?
7:38 "duuuuuude, I was watching..."
Around the 0:33 mark, did anyone else notice the ECW straw hat guy in the crowd
Yup I was going to mention straw hat guy 😂
Haha wwe always used like 5-6 different production songs for dark matches
Generic hard rock song number 5
2nd sd after wm, 1st after scsa whupped jr
Lol the fan shouting boring
Any grown man doing this has nothing going on in their life. Sad and ignorant. Also hypocritical. Dude would be stoked to meet any of these wrestlers.
