When I see the words "worst wrestling show", the image of Jake the Snake getting frisky with himself plays on an infinite loop in my head. I need a lobotomy.
@@joeyjoejoe1394 As Albano said, "He doesn't seem bad, helookslikehehasthebrainofadehydratedbbifyouputitinapigeonoraparakeetitdflybackwards but he's not a bad guy".
Had the dubious honor of watching this on pay per view at my friend's house. We were wrestling maniacs growing up so anything wrestling related was fair game. Imagine the massive letdown.
I was too but being 13 at the time of the ppv I always made fun of the old timers. If I sat through this live id do it for the humor and prob laugh my ass off
it's interesting you call the Stan and Tully match awful, when many have called it THE BEST match, but a dud finish, and you call the 1st match the best when that usually gets called meh.
No joke, 2 years ago I saw Bushwacker Luke wrestle a match at 76 that was way better than this one on Heroes of Wrestling. I got my photo taken with him, awesome guy.
This brings me back to the good old days of wrestling when the people would say intimidating things like "I am the pillow that rests uncomfortably in the corners of your mind!"
As much as I hate the absolute tragic-horrorshow ending of this event, there's always going to be a part of this show that sneaks out of my memory and makes me laugh out loud ad inopportune moments: Nikolai Volkoff issues an absolute non-event of a backbreaker to one of the Bushwhackers, and the commentator, with a note of venom in his voice, calls it a "Soft Slam!"
That visual lives in my head rent free. It was as if Volkoff was placing a baby in a crib, that’s how gentle he was with Bushwacker Luke (or Butch, I don’t remember and don’t really care). Imagine being one of the unlucky people who actually paid $20 for this PPV.
@@DrDestructoI remember the condition of the Iron Sheik (RIP) at this time, he was so immobile from years of injuries that I don’t think he could take a proper bump even if he wanted to. But yes this show was a disaster, probably the only good thing I can say about it is at least Bill Stone (president of Fosstone Productions, the company who ran and sponsored this debacle) made sure everyone got paid. I can relate to the disappointment from the 2,300 in attendance and 29,000 households who actually paid money to watch this fiasco. I’m one of the few who bought the TNA Victory Road 2009 PPV, so I know the pain of feeling like you just flushed money down the toilet.
Julio Fantastico went on to work B shows in WCW & WWF as Julio Dinero, later went on to ECW then to TNA where he was apart of Raven's gathering. He ended up being a really good wrestler, just never made it big big. H.O.W. was a crap show but i would still rather watch it than modern era WWE.
The idea this was going to be an actual promotion is hilarious. ECW WWE WCW TNA AEW NJPW CZW ROH PWG........ HOW. As in how the fuck do you take a promotion seriously with the acronym HOW?
Here's what Wikipedia says about the infamous Jake The Snake incident and "Baby Bundy" Michael Henry in it's Heroes Of Wrestling article: "In an effort to salvage the match, promoter Bill Stone decided on the fly to combine the main events into one tag team event and sent Bundy to team with Neidhart and Yokozuna to team with Roberts. Stone then sent a member of the production crew, Michael Henry, to ringside to consult with the wrestlers. There was no finish planned for this match, as none of the wrestlers involved was willing to take a fall; Bundy and Yokozuna had even had it written into their contracts that they could not be pinned or submit. Bundy pinned Roberts by hitting him with a splash after Roberts had staggered and fallen around the ring several times, despite Roberts not being the legal man in the ring. Yokozuna and Henry attempted to salvage the event and Roberts' reputation by trying to goad Roberts into attacking Henry, making his behavior appear scripted. Roberts was too inebriated to realize what was happening and remained oblivious to Yokozuna and Henry's attacks. Yokozuna then hit a Samoan drop on Henry to make the entire series of events appear scripted; while Yokozuna attacked Henry, Roberts began to disrobe in the middle of the ring and the producers cut the feed immediately thereafter." And here we thought all this time that "Baby Bundy" was the show's promoter. Huh!
It's amazing that Jake Roberts could recover from this legendary dumpster fire. Also shout-out To Tully and lane for having the best match in the show (Apart from the Scorpio match)
Yokozuna was dangerously obese during this event, and yet I remember thinking that Jake looked closer to death than Yoko. He was in rough shape and I was heartbroken for him. I’m so glad he was able to turn things around with some help from DDP.
You know a show is a dumpster fire when even the commenters are confused and cant make sense of the action😂. To be fair tho Tully Blanchard looked pretty good despite being way passed his prime
According to Wrestling Bios, the bald guy was actually Yokozuna's personal assistant and the reason he ended up taking a Samoan drop was because Yoko wasn't going to let him take a DDT from a drunk Roberts.
Just wanna point out how hilariously accurate The Former Yokozuna is since it's a sumo title and they are capable of losing their ranks. That's brilliant on them if that was his actual gimmick. But upon looking it up, Yokozuna can't be demoted so... that's still hilarious.
Be honest...if at least one of the two ' main event ' had been, well average...(Without Jake... glad you are doing well now).. would you have felt the same way??!!¡???
sorry, but every wrestling show is the worst. i really don't understand americans obsessing over fake fighting when you have mma, kick boxing and other combat sports. it's just so fucking gay

DDP is a Saint for the work he did with Jake. Love seeing how well Jake is doing today.
He has saved a few wrestlers lives. He is a great human.
Loved it when Randy the other commentator beside Dutch Mantell. Called a drop-kick a “flying leg-kick”
Albano called him out on that when he joined the desk

Wrestling's not fake, and neither is my enjoyment of your wrestling content. Loving it, Vee, keep up the good work.

Everyone has their opinions and that's fine but I was surprised by that.
JCW Legends & Icons (2011) is perhaps even worse
Looking into it now ty

I thought baby Bundy was the promoter, not just some ring hand. At least that's what Zane said.
baby Bundy was the head of security of the casino this was held at.
@@Mattidute Noooo!!! Zane lied to me, how could he?
Thanks for letting me know.
I have no idea why so many people, Zane included, thought Mini Bundy was the promoter, considering the fact the two look nothing alike.
@@tafua_a "Baby Bundy" had the whitest baldest head I've ever seen in my life!
HOW does a show with only 1 PPV have so many damn grudge matches? Can't they just have a match for the sport of it?
I've seen this many times from other YT'ers, and I'll watch it again! Always have been a fan of your views on the world of wrestling, keep it up!

I grew up watching during the attitude era and from what i have seen/heard that was one of the best time to be a fan
"U wanna play 21? I got 22"
Always use this line whenever youre in a bind
This entire PPV is like they randomized everyone's attribute points and forgot to change certain sub-options.

When is the documentary on Dalton coming out?
Glad Jake the Snake is sober now. Wrestlings not fake keep em coming bud.
You know a show is a dumpster fire when even the commenters are confused and cant make sense of the action😂. To be fair tho Tully Blanchard looked pretty good despite being way passed his prime
That show was remembered for all the wring reasons.
Juggalo Championship Wrestling Legends & Icon PPV
I bought this PPV . I thought was going to be cool to see the legends . Boy was I wrong
Actually, The Bushwhackers were called “The Men From Down Under” not Men At Work, which was a short-lived tag team in WCW.
That's a bold statement
Stan Lane vs Tully Blanchard were the match of the night and it wasn't close.
WWF RULES
WWE SUCKS
Wrestlings not fake which is why you should do Women's Xtreme Wrestling!
I have two sets of DVDs
Whose the goofball Indy kid that everyone wants to murder you were gonna cover, you did a promo for it a while back
According to Wrestling Bios, the bald guy was actually Yokozuna's personal assistant and the reason he ended up taking a Samoan drop was because Yoko wasn't going to let him take a DDT from a drunk Roberts.
The RUclipsr Kim Justice's Wrestling Road did a deep dive on this show and I recommend it
I’d love to see Kim Justice and Vee do a collaboration. It would be quality
Wrestling is “definitely” not fake
Just wanna point out how hilariously accurate The Former Yokozuna is since it's a sumo title and they are capable of losing their ranks. That's brilliant on them if that was his actual gimmick. But upon looking it up, Yokozuna can't be demoted so... that's still hilarious.
The 2nd hand embarrassment I felt hearing the commentator call a Dropkick…..a goddamn flying leg kick.
And Dutch corrects him, only for Rosenbloom to call it a "leg drop" minutes later.
Schiavone used to say stupid shit like "front leg back kick" back in the day hahahah!
I think the jcw show was much worse 😂
Donnie, you're out of your element. I am the walrus
Wrestling's Not Fay-Ke!
More wrestling videos please!
i forgot Billy Crystal was in the Toothfairy
Is this a reupload
Thoughts on bussy?
Sadly, I watched it live when it happened
Paul Adams needs to get a shirt that fits.
This is so bad it's perfect
I got this DVD and Z Man Brian Zane signed it at a wrestling show at The Cow Palace
Great dude
Fans were looking forward to snack bar and bathroom breaks over matches.
Granted their were stars.......20 years later.
Hi Vee pls put the second part of Punks AEW Career
Tully
Jake ran to the back to take a bump (or a hit of crack, whatevs) to try to counter how fn drunk he was. Valiant effort, but didn't work!
Jake was incredibly drunk and Yokozuna was about 1000 pounds
The pro wrestling world has never been the same ever since
Jake is one of the only guys in that show who is still alive today.
I love the Superfly vs Bob Orton match
No offense to yokozuna rest in Peace by the way. But he looks like a big auntie
You wanna play 21
Nice
😊❤
I wonder if someone could make a heroes of Wrestling sequel and actually have it be good
The former Yokozuna 😂😂smh
To be fair to jake, lets be honest, does anyone actually have any recollection of him doing any sober promos pre DDP yoga? 😂 its who he was lol
😮😮😮😮😮
Wonder what would have happened if they signed SABU
How could you not mention that Greg Valentine is the MOST BEAUTIFUL technical wrestler?
WRESTLING’S NOT FAAAAAAAAKEEEE!!!!!!!
Cyndi lauper's dad ..... i get it
Be honest...if at least one of the two ' main event ' had been, well average...(Without Jake... glad you are doing well now).. would you have felt the same way??!!¡???
HoldUp a count out in a Hardcore Match LOL
More please
Can we get a x men video if you ever seen it if not give your thought n reaction to it it’s a x men anime so it should be up your alley
Patrick Star the main eventer lol
2 cold was tv champion in ecw
This is probably back in the WCW era that's why it's so bad
Wrestling not FAKKKKEEEEE
