Been waiting for this for so long! Moline is my hometown. I was there, way up in the nosebleeds, My pop got me tickets for my birthday! Savage vs DDP was amazing!
From Davenport! I wad there too. Went with my best friend and his dad. His dad died a few years ago and this PPV is one of my favorite memories of him. This was great!
@@blacksabbath4252 im aware its sunday. its meant as a comparison. You look forward to saturday morning cartoons as a kid, you look forward to wrestling bios as an adult. Days dont matter.
Nice video. One underappreciated thing about WCW at their height was how great their crowds were. I think one thing that hurt WCW in its dying days was that they lost that great crowd. It was not just the audio, but also the video. You will notice that WCW production worked really hard to avoid showing empty seats. I get it, but it really took away alot of angles from the in ring action.
The whole RTW project is amazing and I love that you include all the PPVs. You should consider doing a yearly award show with stuff like best match, mvp, best tag match, best PPV, best storyline. I know you’re the busiest man on RUclips but I’m sure it would be great.
15:04 Mean Gene reminding Madusa she's now forced into retirement straight after a loss is the equivalent to Jim Bowen showing the losers on Bullseye what they could have won.
It really is great. Awesome how the gear removes all the bright colors, but still gets his vibe over with the patterns with hard black and white contrast.
Is the difference in ppv’s a difference in mentality do you think. WWF’s ppv felt like the culmination of storylines, a king was crowned, Austin and Shawn found their hate for the hart’s overshadowed any differences they had and the nation was defeated. The following raw felt like a new chapter as storylines began with a build to the next ppv while the wcw ppv felt very much like a continuation of a story in order to sell the next nitro. Benoit continues his feud, the horsemen continue to undermine each other, the outsiders won via controversy which would no doubt be address the next night, savage won due to outsider interference which guaranteed the war with DDP would continue, if you wanted to get any sort of closure you had to watch the next nitro. Both are good story telling, but they definitely see different outcomes at the end.
Really well said. Love that Japan based promotions like NJPW, TJPW, etc and non-WWE American promotions deliver on storyline payoffs while still having excellent match quality.
Once again wrestling bios has blown our minds with another awesome intro followed by an extremely entertaining video. Hope things are well down under and prayers for all Tongans.
When wrestlers describe backstage fights in wrestling shoots: "So I threw him out of my dressing room, and punched him like a hundred million times, and Hulk Hogan and Macho Man and like 12 Green Berets tried to pull me off, and they had to send Robocop to stop me, but I gave Robocop some sweet knife-edge chops and he left with his tail between his legs, and it was all because the whole locker room was jealous that I drew so much money at the Omni!"
I noticed you have some WCW vs NWO N64 game music in the backround and it reminded me. Anyone who loved those games there is a game called wrestling empire. It is exactly like those games but with a randomly generated career mode. People can become paralyzed and die off. The customization with your wrestlers look and moves is unreal. It is the best wrestling game on the market by a long shot. Its on PC and nintendo switch, even a dated PC can probably run it. Anyone who reads this just go check out some videos on it or get it yourself.
@@roberttrester4030 I dont think they are a big enough company to pay me anything lol. I have just always been a huge fan of the N64 wrestling games and wrestling empire is pretty much every single one of them from that era combined.
You have once again outdone yourself and I haven't even watched the video yet! The one thing I hated about WCW is that the commentators would spend 95% of every match going on and on about the nwo instead of calling the match in the ring. It always took so much away from the matches they were supposed to be calling. Did anybody else feel this way?
oh for sure its like if they dont care about the match then why should we and it honestly took away from everyone working so hard like not even acknowledging their work. It was just a shame the nWo dominated everything all the time and i can see why a lot of people got sick of it by 2000
@@Venemofthe888 That was one of WCW's biggest problems. Nothing else existed in the orb except the nwo and it was to the detriment so many Nitros and ppvs
It’s one of the reasons why guys on the undercard couldn’t get over. It’s the undercard guys that were the most exciting to watch, along with the cruiserweights. Them not getting properly over was a huge reason guys like Jericho, Benoit, Saturn and Malenko jumped to WWF in 2000 and Sean Waltman ended up back in WWF post Wrestlemania 14. The commentators made the guys on the undercard seem unimportant. Therefore fans had less reason to get behind them. They couldn’t get over. Although they were having great matches. They were having the same matches against mainly the same opponents all through the war. Where as on top for the main part the NWO was doing the same thing week in, week out. With Hogan on top. Which was very stale.
When you look at it WCW ppvs presentation had a real combat sports vibe, similar NJPW events. Even in the company's dying days the feeling still seemed there to me.
It is a shame that Medusa went to WCW for basically nothing since the womens division was non existent aside from like a month or two. Medusa was way ahead of her time in America and no wonder she was in Japan for a long time before.
In defense of Mongo, perhaps his foot massage/ankle lock was due to Kevin Green being a pro ball player. I mean, any other wrestler could pull off an ankle lock no problem, but they likely saw Mongo’s name on the roster and were like, “Hold on… how much insurance do we have?”
@Stephen Greenhorn yeah it is. His detail is fantastic. His work is very much appreciated and everything he does, is very professional. 3 videos a week, he must be making videos non stop.
I’ve never understood Glaciers run in WCW. They hyped him up for months. With videos on Nitro. Then when he did finally debut they done very little with him. Until the blood runs cold angle. Then he disappeared. Seemed like a lot of work to go to for little outcome.
As he’s got creative control and Bischoff still believes that he’s the biggest draw and star in WCW. I do believe Hogan on top as a heel got very stale, very quickly.
I always liked the DDP vs Macho man fights, they seemed like they were willing to do anything to get the fans going, and were willing to do what it took to help the others career. I felt Macho Man, despite what he was like to Elizabeth, was the nicer of the two wrestlers, because Macho man was willing to job more for other wrestlers, plus Macho man was awesome for that Slim Jim commercial where Ric Flair appears with 2 women in his arms and says "Sign me up big daddy" and Macho mans reaction was perfect
I love these so much. Especially the WCW stuff because I was mainly a WWF kid so it gives me a chance to see some of the stuff I missed. Love the humor too 😂 👍
Not to spam your comments , Glacier may have sucked ,but his appearances always led to a mortal kombat tournament after the show, and brother they were legendary!!!

From what I saw, I would have traded Mongo's contract with Kevin Green. He would need to be trained of course, but from what I saw, he was actually BETTER then Mongo. But, that is just my opinion.
The burying of Glacier is priceless 😁😆😅🤣😂
Been waiting for this for so long! Moline is my hometown. I was there, way up in the nosebleeds, My pop got me tickets for my birthday! Savage vs DDP was amazing!

Psychosis was one of my faves along with Blitzkrieg and La Parka

Savage and ddp was so good. You could honestly tell that randy genuinely likes Dallas and wanted to do business to get him over.

Macho's "Madness" gear during this era is probably my favorite ring attire ever.
Mine too
It really is great. Awesome how the gear removes all the bright colors, but still gets his vibe over with the patterns with hard black and white contrast.
It's always a great day when you are reliving the war

I TIMED IT RIGHT THIS WEEK. Horseman business opens back up tomorrow.
_Glacier shows up late to appointments._ 9:36 Boy, that's SURE an UNDERSTATEMENT. It took the guy FIVE MONTHS to FINALLY make his debut in WCW...😆👍
Blame WCW for that. Apparently he was gonna debut earlier but WCW decided to delay it because the nwo was getting popular.
I now want him to job to the Bootyman.
Couldn't AGREE with you more.....these opening matches are fantastic!!!!
WCW undercard was ALWAYS the best.
I knew the crowd was going to be lit when they said it was coming from Moline, Illinois
