That shot of Doug Dillinger and his gang running towards the camera to Sting’s rescue never fails to make me laugh.
It’s like peak 90s television 😂
Right!
Their formation makes it look like they were standing there and waiting for someone to say “ready, set, go”
Fun fact about that Thunder battle royal: it was the very last WCW appearance of Macho Man, randomly coming out to do...well, nothing. Basically standing on the turnbuckle.
That battle royal is on RUclips. I believe it was a part of a Thunder episode that had every match as "New York rules." Three women even entered the match.
Randy Savage Was Superman That Night. Noone WWE In The Attitude Era Except Kane Was As Powerful. WCW Stars=Far Better Than The WWE. The New Blood Were Very Superior To The McMahon/Helmsley Faction. Triple H & Vince McMahon Were Their Only 2 Built Dudes & Everyone Else Were Little & Nonbuilt. Jeff Jarrett. Scott Steiner, Mike Awesome, Chuck Palumbo, Shawn Stasiak, Tank Abbott & Shane Douglas & When Sid Vicious Turned Joining New Blood, They Would've Destroyed The McMahon/Helmsley Faction. The Millionaire's Club Would've Squashed The McMahonHelmsleyFaction & Destroyed Them. WCW Factions Were Better Than The WWE In Every Year Head To Head. During The Corporate Ministry Storyline, WCW Didn't Have A Major Faction. WWE Were Lucky. The NWO Wolfpack Elite & Hollywood B Team Were Very Superior To The Corporate Ministry. The Only Reason WCW Ratings Dropped Were Because Of Injuries To Top Stars With NWO Disbanding. And Eric Bischoff Fired By Time Warner Before He Gained Momentum For WCW After Getting Their Rating Up To A 4.1 And Time Warner Hiring Vince Russo. The Merged NWO Were More Powerful Than The Ministry & The Corporation, With The NWO Still Having Bret Hart & Bam Bam Bigelow Friends With Them. Both NWO Wolfpack Elite & Hollywood B Team Had More Built Guys. Most Of The NWO Were Built. The NWO Had Twice As Many Built/Muscular Heavyweights. WCW Would've Surpassed The WWE In The Ratings If They Were Able To Continue Thee NWO Storyline With Goldberg Going Through Them One By One Until He Got To Hogan And Sting & Randy Savage Returning And Getting Revenge.
@@allencollins5666 This is a bit, right?
@@ArcaneAnarchy He smokes rocks, leave him be
And here I thought he left after Road Wild 99
"the worst" translates to me as "You're gonna fuggin love these".
I'd personally rather watch a 0/10 than a 5/10 lol.
Translates to me
“I wanna say hello to my only friend…Smokey…my Cat”
Is it possible we’d mu’fuggin love them?
Same here.
@@CGB_Crashbad entertainment is better remembered than mid entertainment 😂
The image of Sid laying in what must’ve been agonizing pain while he gets beat up is equal parts unsettling and kind of funny in a twisted way. No wonder Sid retired and chose softball instead. That leg break was gnarly
Sid never had to work again after that, he sued WCW and won an undisclosed amount of money rumored to be in the millions.
Wasn't it Johnny Ace who pitched or wanted Sid to do the spot specifically?
@adamcammack3534 it was him indeed
@mikerohlfs2836 Oh really, I never knew he sued them😮
@@adamcammack3534indeed it was that idiot who was producing the match, and told Sid he had to do a one legged kick off the top rope.
One of the worst parts about Russo's booking in WCW was that he didn't seem to realize that by having people say "this wasn't on the format sheet" or "we didn't go over this in the production meetings", it makes it look more scripted, showing that it actually was supposed to happen, instead of it looking like a shoot.
LMFAO
Russo is trash
I completely agree.
I didn't know David Arquette went THROUGH THE FLOOR!!! That's Hilarious 😂
That was pretty funny 😂😂😂
Lmao, same here. WCW in a nutshell.
Same here. Would have probably watched it live too.
I saw the title and thought to myself "I don't have 73 hours to devote to a video."
Well thank the gods he did a top 10 instead of the last 2 years of Nitro
The Worst Rated WWE Matches Would Take 2 Years
@allencollins5666
Only 2,years?
I used to legit think he was saying 'Yappa Pie.' The Rock doing 'Poontang Pie' was some personal connection I made with it too.
Okay, but that premise of the three layer cage with wrestlers having to grab the belt, then escape with it, has potential. With story telling, it could be done well. Also, imagine that as a video game mode.
When I first got into pro wrestling OSW had just reviewed Uncencored 96, the ending of the Doomsday Cage Match where Team Hogan starts bonking all the heels with frying pans was the first time a match made me legit laugh out loud.
How about when they forgot to end the match! Macho Man had to dive back in the cage and make the pin.
And of all people, they had him pin FLAIR. Couldn't pin Zeus, no! Gotta pin the champ. And it's a complete afterthought, even to the competitors.
This is like a final destination premonition for everyone watching Reliving the War each week.
Not quite, we'd see one big train wreck that instead gets separated into a bunch of little pieces.
Oh wait, that does describe WCW in the year 2000.
Thank you for not showing Big Sids injury I've seen it once and I don't want to see it ever again
Blimey, you really haven't seen what's out there in the world.
Hulk Hogan likely "meant" to say "Yavapai" which is a desert Tribe ,and was involved in the abduction of the well known Olive Oatman back in the 1800's . But , Hogan being Hogan he couldn't be bothered to even get the name right and so said " Yappa pie" ,because well, Hulk marble mouth Hogan .
Yappa pie, BROTHER
NEVER put a space in front of a punctuation mark. EVER.
Iirc, the one thing that made a massive difference that I don't see mentioned too often is that Pat Patterson laid out the first Hogan vs. Warrior match at WM VI.
And I think the atmosphere of that match helped a lot
Bischoff mentions a lot on 84 weeks that he wishes he could have had Patterson as WCW lacked a good finish guy.
I'm a huge WCW fan and I'll never say otherwise, but one of the things I hate the most about what they did was the stuff with Goldberg walking off and going "off script". It's insane to me that they thought that would actually increase ratings and improve the product.
You accidentally said Russo won the WCW World Title in 1999 (the graphic is displayed correctly as 2000). It isn't a big deal, mistakes happen and you always put out great videos. The sad part is, I didn't have to Google the date Russo won because it is the same day as my 18th birthday. WCW welcomed me to adulthood with a swift kick to the groin.
Arquette cluelessly falling through the gimmicked floor had me rolling!
Last time I was this early, we could only speculate that P. Diddy was a diddler.
P Diddler goin to jail lol.
Diddy be diddln'.
Who’s ready for a FREAK OFF?!
He can hang out with Vinny Mac
🎶 Take that,take that 🎶
Another reason that Great American Bash scaffold match sucked (but also wasn’t the competitors’ fault): The cameras missed Eaton capturing the heels’ flag and the commentators couldn’t see it, so it seems like the match comes to an abrupt and inexplicable end with everyone just climbing down the scaffold.
Having Bobby Eaton and worst rated WCW match in any kind of context is just insane!
@@exilhamburger4802 Or Austin, or Taylor. Not to knock PN News, but he was the only guy there you’d expect to see on a “worst matches” list.
I have always felt that, in the right hands, a Doomsday Cage Match could be something spectacular.
Yeah maybe mid 2000's TNA xdivision in that structure could kill it. Or you go the violence route and go 97-98 ECW. I have always said there was SOMETHING there. But just not with those guys.
99-2000 were rough years for WCW
groundbreaking observation
THAT'S THE WALL UP THERE BROTHER!!!!!!
OR MAYBE NOT BROTHER
@@-tiofer-8943
IT'S REALLY UP IN THE AIR RIGHT NOW, DUDE!
Hogan/Warrior only being 11th worst is terrifying
Kimberley Page 😍😍😍
Best part of 40 yr old virgin 100% 😆
My pick for the best looking woman in wrestling history. It’s her and Torrie Wilson basically neck and neck.
Was `99 Bash at the Beach "Junkyard Invitational" under 5 minutes ?? It was frustrating to watch, had multiple failed spots, legitimately injured half it's competitors, and then led to nothing but an even worse [not really hardcore but we'll call it hardcore] division.
"Yappa Pai" reminds me of the opening theme to Ranma 1/2. Maybe Hulk's time in Japan had odd dividends.
I just wanna say thank you for running this channel. I watch it more than anything these days. 🎉
I've broken leg, ankle, hip, foot and both hands. They don't compare to what Sid had done. The only one I think was worse was the guy jumping and his knees went back and he was "chicken leged." 🤢
Thanks for letting us know you aren’t going to show the ankle snap. Even though it’s burned into my brain, I’ll still gladly avoid seeing it again.
I was there the night of the Sid break. We all missed it live and the stuff at the end just confused everyone.
We just knew "Sid's not fighting back and no one is just ending it"
Off topic, but it's somewhat bizarre to think that the nWo formed just a few months after the Doomsday Cage Match. This is going to be an interesting vid. Thanks, Wrestling Bios.
It's cliché but the moment Scott hall jumped the rail everything changed
Seriously, WCW made a drastic pivot in tone real fast.
"Don't worry I'm not going to show it" knew exactly what you were talking about just from this sentence and thank you. Wish I'd never seen then. Second worst injury I've ever seen live.
David Arquette falling through the gimmicked floor after Flair becomes no1 contender in 2000 is just so WCW
According to some reports, it was John Laurinaitis who convinced Sid to do the move that broke his leg and ended his career. Three years later, Laurinaitis was also behind Brock Lesnar doing the shooting star press at Wrestlemania 19, the move that gave Brock a serious concussion (I know Brock had done the move before but still). Figures.
Nice for this to kick up when you are feeling down for failing at life.
Never can any of us ever fail as hard as wcw 2000 😆
Hey everyone has a their own Yappa Pie Strap Match; ya just gotta figure a way to book your Mania 18. You can do it.
Johnny Ace was behind Sid coming off the rope
Also the same dude that told Brock Lesnar to do the Shooting Star Press at Mania 19.
How Savage vs Rodman is not even listed is beyond me.
Did nobody else see this?!?
Oh my my. Thank you wrestling bios. You take away my anxiety and my depression at times. Thank you. Thank you
I'm surprised how often Sting showed up and how 99% of these were towards the end of WCW
This might have to be a multi-part series 🤣
LOLOL YUP
Wasn't expecting a post today from my favorite channel!❤🎉
DEFINATLEY ONE OF THE BEST!
WE'LL NEED TO SEE A VIDEO ON WORST MATCHES UNDER 5 MINUTES.
😂😂 I'm in stitches from the accidental David Arquette floor spot. I love that match because of how absurd it is. I've probably watched it more times than anyone else alive (3 times) and I've never noticed him falling through the stage before! I guess that's a testimony to how insane that match is. When the cameraman misses Hulk Hogan diving through a table and a celebrity falling through the stage for no reason all within the course of 5 seconds, you know it was a bit overbooked.
Lol, you got me with the (3 times)
@@jeremyc9593 😆
These next incoming RTW episodes are gonna be a pain gauntlet.
Just the sheer number of times that WCW showed Sid's leg break, mainly because it was the only interesting thing that had happened on one of their shows in forever.
These are the types of matches we would have seen in WWF if Vince didn't filter Russo.
Honestly I'm more surprised there aren't MORE Hogan matches on here
Sid Vicious vs. The Nightstalker, El Gigante vs. The One Man Gang, Kevin Sullivan vs. Mr. T, and The Junkyard Invitational ALL deserve to be on this list.
I recall Eric Bischoff talking about the “Yappapi” Strap Match on his podcast and admitting he had no idea what it meant. His best guess is came from something he’d said to Hogan about the Pascua Yaqui tribe, the descendants of Yaqui people who’d fled the Mexican Revolution and settled in Arizona.
Omg I never saw the match when David fell through the floor on accident. That's hysterical! I wanna hear more about that
Check out the first WCW Blunder video, it's about that episode of Thunder.
@@rasmusdegn9690 thanks, bud!
I was expecting to see the Chamber of Horrors somewhere on this list.
The warrior vs hogan rematch hurts because I’m a fan of both man and would’ve love to see a sequel that was good but I was left really disappointed with the match after watching the buildup on reliving the war
I gave up on wrestling for over 20 years. This channel brought me back.
Man, I remember almost all of these. Towards the end, people were regularly throwing garbage at the ring after some of these.
What you gonna do when Wrestling Bios runs wild on you!
And somehow, not a single El Gigante match.
Arquette fell through the floor 😂😂🤦🏾♂️🤣🤣 I’m ded
another awesome video this channel is so much fun to watch great stuff as always major gunns vs miss Hancock at WCW new blood rising was a great match stacy keibler was awesome in-ring in both WCW and WWE.
I'm kinda shocked 'Age in the Cage' Hogan vs Piper didn't make the list.
A lot of Hogan matches aren't mentioned here. He was involved in a lot of horrible main events in WCW. So many that it would be worthy of its own video!
This video could be 12 hours long, let’s be honest.
Wrestling Bios coming through in the clutch, as always.
Didn't mention Randy Savage appeared at the end of the battle royal but Thunder went off the air before they showed him A complete waste 🫤
I'll never forget seeing sid break his leg when they replayed it on Nitro the day after, and then seeing Scott Steiner make fun of it by watching the footage himself and snapping chicken bones to make fun of Sid.
That Battle Royal was like they wanted to do their own Royal Rumble but for whatever reason they had most of the people start in the ring.
That's........what a Battle Royal is. The match concept way predates the Royal Rumble. Also WCW had their own "royal rumble" called World War 3. How new to all of this are you???
I love it when he refers to stuff as "nonsense." hahaha
As a person that loved/s WCW as well this is tough to watch.
So this is just top 10 David Flair matches?
Excellent video
AWESOME AND FUNNY...
Keep them coming please
Fingerpoke of doom, the horror, the horror
WCW the company where anything could happen... but no one took the time to ask the question 'but should it?'
Thank u for your hard work producing these vids respeccc 😂
love this channel.
R.I.P Tommy Lister AKA Tiny AKA Zeus AKA Z Gangsta AKA Deebo
Thanks mate
Why the hell would anyone agree to be in a scaffold match? No wonder no one wanted to take that fall, Look how f'n high it is!
Yapapi was worth it for the promos alone. I never understood why there were no promos with Flair talking about Yapapi.
Where do I find the same version of the song from the opening?
David Arquette accidentally falling through the gimmicked floor is my pick for the most late WCW thing ever.
At the end of that battle royal Hulk and Macho have their last on tv moment and together, which was pretty cool
Great video
So if Im correct as of Mar 2024 we have done the Top rated best WCW Matches, Top rated Worst WCW Matches and Top rated worse WCW PPVs.....only one missing is Top Rated best WCW PPV
Some of these were ranked as low before we knew how low we could go
You are using wcw/nwo revenge in the background music haha . GREAT
You’re amazing as is your work
A good day when Wrestling Bios makes a post.
“the Fuckin Brawl for All” lol
WB actually did study Cage match and got back to us
16:14 I need to apologize to Sid. I was at Sin when he broke his leg but i was not watching when it happened so I thought it was part of the show. My friends stuck around after the match to prove his injury was real and when 98% of the people left the arena, it was quiet. Trying to be funny I yelled "You're too old Sid! Get the walker out grandma!" The people in the ring looked up in disgust so I know he heard me. Sorry Sid!
World champion David arquette didn’t get the memo😂😂😂
I remember being in a sports for when that match with Sid vicious happened. Everyone in the bar was like oh s*** when they saw his leg fold that was nasty.
I'm surprised the Junkyard Invitational isn't listed here.. or the Vampiro vs The Demon Graveyard Match 🤔 Dude, I love your videos. Been following your content for years.. even before Reliving the War.. but these videos based on Cagematch rankings? I dunno.. 🤔 I'd rather see personal takes, or ask the YT community, and make a list out of that. Just saying.. 🤷♂️ cheers 👍 keep up the good work! 🫡
Genuinely shocked Goldberg v Regal didn't get a look in here, that would've been 7 minutes and it was horrid.
First, a warning: Do not even attempt a "How many WCW 2000 matches are there?" drinking game with this video, as you will likely get dangerously inebriated with how much of this list (9 out of 15) are matches from 2000 (consecutively, even), and the run time will not give you enough time to fully recover from each hit of liquor you take with each 2000 entry.
However, for a serious comment, I am actually a little shocked that Sting vs. Hogan from Starrcade '99 isn't on here. While the botched finish is obviously what everyone remembers, it's not as though it was a good match from the start, anyway. However, just as with the "Worst WCW PPVs" video, I'd love to see a version of this that excludes any & all WCW 2000 matches & events, because that one year absolutely overshadows anything else that'd be worth going over, I feel.
Not first but still love my WrestlingBios suprise drop!
one of the ones i am surprised wasn't or thought might be was sting vs hogan at starcade 97. the big cluster f of a finish just deflates the entire build up to me. and the match wasnt the greatest of technical main events.
Nice game of death reference 😊
Totally unrelated to the video, but I have to know who wrote the theme song for 'The Mean Street Posse'.
A quick google search tells me it was Jim Johnston, the man who wrote the majority of wrestler's entrance themes in the 90s and early 2000's.
"Creating buzz among a subset of wrestling fans who really didn't makeup the vast majority." I've always thought the AEW is WCW 2.0 shouts were unjustified but this quote shows there's definitely something to it.
Ahh Cagematch Tony Khans only sense of what is “good”
I remember watching many of these matches live and thinking "I wish Mikey Whipwreck would show up and have a good match with Billy Kidman again".
