Me, waking up, making coffee, sitting down and putting on RUclips to watch my favorite wrestling channel...Pacitti breaks into a “We Didn’t Start the Fire” parody. Me, spits coffee thru my nose and almost chokes. Well-played, sir.
I was a teenager in the crowd, right near where the wrestlers entered, at that show in Macon Georgia where Scott Hall first appeared in WCW, and it blew my mind, as well as Everyone else in the arena. It was so crazy! Kayfabe hadn't really been broken then, and we didn't know about the inner workings of the companies.
It’s so sad how every time you watch any kind of old school wrestling, half the guys are dead. I’ve watched tag team matches from like 99-2000 where 3/4 guys are dead and they all woulda been like 50 or younger.
I have seen "Where are they now" videos from other channels, never would have thought Cultaholic would dip into these Well done though, I want more. Keep 'em coming!
I met and hung out with Virgil some years back when he was doing a comic con in Detroit. Although he was super cool to me and sat there just telling me stories you were spot on about him being pushy about selling his autograph. Is watch him take kids last dollar with no shame
I know man. What makes me feel bad is when I was a kid I didn't have any internet and I wasn't subscribed to any wrestling magazines or anything like that. I watched wrestling and had to take it for face value at the time. So I would be cheering and screaming during a match loving that the guy I hated was getting whooped on. Then a couple decades later during a nostalgia binge, I discover the guy I was so happy got beat - got severely hurt for real and nearly died or at least ended their career.
Yea, well, that's what tends to happen to drug addicts, they die. Most of the morons I know who fell in with drugs and gangs didn't even make it to thirties... so is probably better to think of these guys as drug addicts who died later, than wrestlers who died early.
You missed Great Muta, and a bigger miss is Stevie Ray, he came in after Steiner and was the leader of NWO b-team at one point. Plus Bret Heart was part of the Hollywood faction. From there - Disco Inferno, then the Wolf Pack members - Lex Luger & Sting. That’s relevant because you spoke of Konan’s best performance in the wolf pack. The b&w also added Horace Hogan. Furthermore, if you want to get technical then you need to include Jeff Jarret and others from the black/silver NWO faction in 2000.
Bret Hart was never in NWO Hollywood. He only worked with them. Almost like DDP working with Wolfpac. Hart wasn't an NWO member until he, Jarrett and The Outsiders reformed the group in late 1999.
The NWO and WCW was one of the most memorable, wild, and fun times to be a wrestling fan. You could switch the channels between WWF and WCW, I swear there were like 4 different shows through the week, it was awesome lol.
Best time in wrestling. I switched channels and taped WWE,since Nitro started first. WCW was awesome then and the NWO was totally mind blowing. Scott Hall is my favorite wrestler. Great times!
I remember the nWo gimmick was the hottest storyline in wrestling from Summer '96 to Starcade '97. The problem was that it became saturated with too many members and it was clear Hulk Hogan was pulling his creative control card whenever it came time for him to push over another wrestler. I remember when Bret Hart came over from the WWE after the "Montreal Screwjob." He looked out of place in WCW and really never gelled with the nWo. Then Scott Hall was having substance abuse problems, showing up to house shows inebriated and unable to wrestle. The kiss of death was the "fingerpoke of doom" match and Vince Russo writing crappy storylines that made no sense whatsoever (e.g., making David Arquette, an actor, the WCW Champion and then Russo himself winning the title on a stupid match in which he was dressed like Lawrence Taylor, formerly of the NY Giants). By that time, the WWE had better storylines and performers (e.g., Steve Austin, the Rock, Mick Foley, members of DX, etc.) which launched the "Attitude Era."
How about a what DID they 5 years ago for this years wrestlemania participants? (Maybe somewhat closer to actual WM and also when we know more about the card)
It's so fucking sad that most of these ended with "passed away". I hope this current generation of Wrestlers are more looked after by the companies who drain every bit of life out of them!
So funny, I remember Virgil at a convention in Pittsburgh, and me being a kid, thought he was rediculously rude, and didnt care about an autograph anymore after.
These guys didnt do any research on Vincent/Virgil, missed out a time after the nWo collapsed where he tried to come back as a singles competitor under another name (not Vincent or Virgil, forget what it was)

Rest in Peace to the first ever nWo member, Scott Hall!

Me, embarrassed for all Todd's around the world after reading your comment.
@J P he could of done homemade cold brew or something.
Stop talking like that, what are you like 50?
Did you Todd? Did you really?
@J P he just spat hot coffee calm down, he didn't fly off into space. And he didn't say HOT coffee, just coffee.
We need the full song of that intro ASAP!
We so do!
Please no xD
That song made me not want to watch the rest of this video or any other video on this channel
I assume we don’t listen to WHW Monday with Tony and Conrad?
Based
You mean half of the WCW roster?
More like a quarter of it.
Wcw had over 400 roster but never used them .
@@moedog which means they were paid to travel and drink coffee and hang out in catering oh what a terrible way to make a living...
@@moedog Basically WWE now, just keeping people like Harper undrr contract and not using them
They were so many, they could have started their own wrestling company
That was the greatest intro ever.
🤘
I gave the video a thumbs down based on how bad that intro was
@Sarkozy a) *English, he's English.
B) how is it "too British" when it's an English channel?😂
@@nonstickmeat 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It honestly makes me really happy to see Scott Hall get himself straight and just Killin life Rn. Love that guy
This aged poorly
@@travishutchison6459 not really, it is not like he died 5 months after being sober.
@@marcovanbasten8035 I mean sure if you're stupid that makes sense.
RIP Scott Hall. Forever The Bad Guy. ❤

So sad about him passing, I miss that guy.
It’s so sad how every time you watch any kind of old school wrestling, half the guys are dead.
I’ve watched tag team matches from like 99-2000 where 3/4 guys are dead and they all woulda been like 50 or younger.
This is why you're better than any other wrestling RUclips channel.
ORIGINAL CONCEPTS.
Scott hall rocks that denim
Scott Hall could rock crocs and they'd be more over than Roman
I bet it would look crap in HD
It was the early/mid 90's. I was 12 when that episode aired and even I was rocking a denim jacket lol
I want Scott Hall to rock me
@Beatrice Karau yeah, his life was a mess lol.
The best matches of Randy Savage's long and glorious career were in his feud with Diamond Dallas Page? That's a bold claim.
ArcaneAzmadi Yea that was a stretch
Wwf Savage was way better dude
Yea. Hell, I liked his feud with George “The Animal” Steele better and that guy just basically ate turnbuckles.
How about nWo Japan? The Great Muta also got a few matches in WCW.
If Stiener got as mad as he did on WCW I wouldn't want to tell him my food order was wrong.
Well, you have a 33 1/3 percent chance of not getting punched in the face.
Wow, a lot of them died in their early 40s
Drug abuse and steroids can do a number on your heart etc.. and as we age our bodies can’t take abuse as it once might of been able to. Kinda sad.
I liked when Brutus was The Disciple.....he seemed to be indestructible until The Ultimate Warrior took control over him in his feud with Hogan
Well Easy E passed away Ice cube does movies... Whoops that's NWA sorry..
Ryan Prior ironically Easy E works for NWO or NWA, and ironically the NWA Easy E was the one had a gun pulled on him by another rapper
Didn't know Easy E was in the National Wrestling Alliance
I loved nwa, my tied favorite group with Btnh.
Gonna have to agree with everybody that this was the greatest intro ever. Make this a series with this opening please!
I have seen "Where are they now" videos from other channels, never would have thought Cultaholic would dip into these
Well done though, I want more. Keep 'em coming!
I met and hung out with Virgil some years back when he was doing a comic con in Detroit. Although he was super cool to me and sat there just telling me stories you were spot on about him being pushy about selling his autograph. Is watch him take kids last dollar with no shame
Why was Virgil being pushy about selling his autograph
This is the kind of Quality content I subscribe for
Do every nwo members ranked from worst to best please 🥺
Too many early deaths, most in their 40s. It's a damn shame, guys.
Exactly what I was thinking. There's almost more dead members of nWo than there are alive ones.
I know man. What makes me feel bad is when I was a kid I didn't have any internet and I wasn't subscribed to any wrestling magazines or anything like that. I watched wrestling and had to take it for face value at the time. So I would be cheering and screaming during a match loving that the guy I hated was getting whooped on.

You play, you pay.
Lol only the one who used to be in WWE survived after their 40’s lol
Scott Steiner on tips: Ya see, if there's a party of 5 or more, you got a 100 percent chance of leaving a gratuitous 20 percent tip....
What does the tip calculator at Scot Stiener's Shoneys look like?
wut?
141 & 2/3%
@@DonDiesel885 RUclips Scott Steiner math
@@ratreides6353 no, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't afford his prices.
For some reason, Scott Steiner getting a bunch of "industry friends" to rock up to his restaurant/franchise opening amuses the heck out of me.
You missed Great Muta, and a bigger miss is Stevie Ray, he came in after Steiner and was the leader of NWO b-team at one point. Plus Bret Heart was part of the Hollywood faction.

Don't forget WWE NWO HBK, and Booker T
He only looked at the members of the original group that existed from summer 1996 to spring 1998
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed how many he missed... I totally forgot bout great Muta lol
And that pretty much sums up why WCW fell apart in the early 2000s
Bret Hart was never in NWO Hollywood. He only worked with them. Almost like DDP working with Wolfpac. Hart wasn't an NWO member until he, Jarrett and The Outsiders reformed the group in late 1999.
Scott Steiner franchising anything made my day... that's awesome and terrifying at the same time lol
The intro alone deserves a like.
Scott Hall should have been a World Champion hands down in WCW and WWE for sure to bad it never happened
The NWO and WCW was one of the most memorable, wild, and fun times to be a wrestling fan.
You could switch the channels between WWF and WCW, I swear there were like 4 different shows through the week, it was awesome lol.
Best time in wrestling. I switched channels and taped WWE,since Nitro started first. WCW was awesome then and the NWO was totally mind blowing. Scott Hall is my favorite wrestler. Great times!
I never knew how much I needed this intro in my life!
16 minutes? I'm amazed you can even list them all in 16 minutes.
Damn, so many wrestler died so young.
Dennis Rodman is the complete package: From basketball player to drag queen to wrestler to diplomat.
OMG that intro got an automatic subscribe from me! Thank you sir for the best intro of all time!
Epic parody of the iconic Billy Joel hit! Well done my man!
Lol hopefully Big Papa Pump isn't the one working the books for his restaurant lol Steiner-mathmatics
Lmao that song reminds me of the office
Ryan started the fire
Lol same
....thats the joke.
@@toddzombie8777 technicaly not really, it goes back to Billy Joel first, not the office.
@@kumail2113 i have only heard it from the office
I had no idea where that intro was going, but it ended up being the best thing I've ever seen
This is a great video, but it's also a sobering monument to the way wrestling breaks people and how the 90s were the height of the addiction era.
This intro might be the greatest thing I've ever heard. Put it in the Hall of Fame
That was the best intro I’ve ever seen in my life
Mate, that was an awesome intro!!! Well done :)
All these guys should be in the WWE Hall of Fame
My earliest WCW memory is Scott Norton coming out and destroying two jobbers on WCW Saturday Night
Wonderful article. But also a stark reminder of how tragic the life of a wrestler can be.
That may be the greatest intro on all of RUclips EVER!
I was not aware that Bischoff was working alongside Wayne Arnold these days.
Do Nova, Reno, and Shane Douglas please. 👍🏾
... And Erik Watts.
Actually some of us do know wrestling existed before the WWF and outside of the WWF! He was always Scott Hall to some of us.
I remember the nWo gimmick was the hottest storyline in wrestling from Summer '96 to Starcade '97.

That Intro.
I'm actually impressed
LMFAO that intro is amazing. good work, mates
How about those shoes you stole? Never trust a Yelnats.
Great video, but unless I misunderstood the qualifications for the given timeline, it's missing Knobbs, Sags, Muta, and Tenzan.
How about a what DID they 5 years ago for this years wrestlemania participants? (Maybe somewhat closer to actual WM and also when we know more about the card)
I'm Actually listening to this in the car I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard at the beginning
Scott Steiner looking like Colonel Sanders in his suit at the end of the video is a little disturbing...
Billy Joel - We Didn't Start The Fire
Love that song
No way.....get outta town....
Pacitti just shut down the intro game! Nobody can top that, pure magic!
Can they update this? RIP Big Scott Hall ❤🙏
Do an episode about Das Wunderkind Alex Wright!!! He basically fell off the face of the earth after WCW was bought out!!!!!
@@Poohdaddymagic he was one of the biggest stars in the company
Biggest stars lmao maybe in Germany
I like how you mentioned just about all the guys kids, but neglected to mention a certain Joseph Hennig.
I only came for that intro 😂
that intro cured my depression
That intro being similar to the old school pokemon end song is great.
My hometown Macon GA Middle GA! I’m 26 I was in that crowd as a kid... awww the memories 😁
you got a like for the opening, before I even saw the actual video
Bloody loved the Billy Joel “We didn’t start the fire” parody!!!!!! Billy Joel is like one of my favourite musical artists of all time :)
Subscribed just for that intro
That theme song is the greatest thing in history.
Completely unexpected intro... amazing
It's so fucking sad that most of these ended with "passed away". I hope this current generation of Wrestlers are more looked after by the companies who drain every bit of life out of them!
You should do a segment of past present superstars that worked for backstage security.
it's almost as if wrestling had a prescription drug problem...
Oh yea, because prescription narcotics abuse are relegated only to the wrestling industry...
America has a prescription drug problem.
@@de132 the whole world pretty much has one
So funny, I remember Virgil at a convention in Pittsburgh, and me being a kid, thought he was rediculously rude, and didnt care about an autograph anymore after.
Bro your introduction is 🔥
I still can’t get enough of the theme song
You forgot Kyle Petty, the guy who drove the nWo race car in NASCAR
This was awesome and the intro was epic lol
Well Pacitti thanks for ruining We didn't start the fire for me lol.
This new featurette from you guys is pretty good.
Also....Pacitti's voice is that of Celine Dion.
That intro is fucking gold
"The manager from kientai" broke me that. Bravo sir. Bravo.
Love hearing the difference in accents. "Maecho man," vs "mawcho man"
Ryan started the Fire!!! (The Office)
I so read the title wrong I thought when I first clicked that he was ranking the members of the NWO
I miss this group
That has got to be the catchiest theme song for a RUclips video that I've ever heard.
That’s where I heard the intro before! It’s We didn’t start the fire by Billy Joel! Man that was killing me!
What an intro i neeeds in my Spotify playlist
It's so sad how many of them havepassed away
Never gonna be able to hear We Didn't Start the Fire the same again.
These guys didnt do any research on Vincent/Virgil, missed out a time after the nWo collapsed where he tried to come back as a singles competitor under another name (not Vincent or Virgil, forget what it was)
the Manager to Kaientai died this week RIP
Wow
That intro was both mildly horrific and impossibly catchy. 11/10
Geeeez do we really needed the intro. Chances are someone that clicks on this vid knows who the NWO are - PS I don’t mean the song which was great
I actually would love to know about a lot of the names in the intro song. What's Mantaur up to these days?
This may have been mentioned on this video or a previous one but does anyone else just watch these videos for the intro song?
That rap left The Logan brothers quaking.. Paciti vs Paul 2020
