"It's The Wall, brother!" really was the craziest moment of WCW, from the fact that there's no way Hulk could have seen him up there to the insane promo babbling about Vam-Pyro and hammerhead sharks, it was truly bananas

[@ariesflameheart4493]

Is this why the “black screen” is a ruby cosmetic on 2k24 my faction?

[@mikeawesome9212]

Haha how is that not a meme?? Like why has no one taken a picture of Trumps border wall with Hogan edited in saying "IT'S THE WALL BROTHER!!"? Another example could be a picture no one can figure out. Like a picture of something strange in the sky or a supposed Bigfoot, something blurry that can't be made out and have Hogan again edited in saying "IT'S THE WALL BROTHER!!". Those are just a couple examples, there are so many memes that could have been made from that moment. Best part is only long term wrestling fans would get it.

[@SheriffOutlaw]

Judy on a Forklift 😂

[@eddiejoewalt7746]

anything with Judy Bagwell!

[@cliffordjackson3]

FACTS😂.

[@vader97100]

Wasn’t Judy also involved with Bagwell getting fired in WWF? 😂

[@SpanishFly120]

One of the most hilarious bad WCW things that doesn't get talked about is a Kevin Nash vs New Blood Guauntlet Match on Thunder where the referee goes crazy and starts counting people down for the 3...despite Kevin Nash not even being anywhere near them, let alone pinning them, lol.

[@FromGototheGo]

what?! 😂 got a link maybe?! gotta see that

[@AndreWakefield]

Yeah and everyone was getting "pinned" after just one move or big boot lol

[@sgt_slobber.7628]

Actually Ric Flair in the Nuthouse was Hilarious!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@foxmccloud7055]

You wonder why Jim Cornette still hates Vince Russo?

[@tedbundywastheultimatechad8400]

No. No I do not.

[@redherronrecords]

Robocop saved Sting, bro.

[@psychotheunsane7285]

Shock Master incident, Sid Vicious breaking his leg, Finger Poke of Doom, Viagra on a Pole

[@Dibab]

​​@@psychotheunsane7285 judy bagwell on a poll, david freaking Arquette as the top champ

[@m.i.luminis]

Fingerpoke of doom anyone?

[@nizik1979]

No. Loved the Fingerpoke of doom.

[@exilhamburger4802]

Yeah, but from the fingerpoke there were multiple alleys to go forward, wasn't it!? - Reunion of NWO and another dominant run, after kicking out and destroying the useless guys (Norton, Vincent (RIP), etc.) - Kevin Nash turning babyface while exposing Hollywood Hogan in a way that leads to a feud. - Goldberg running wildshot over the NWO, while accusing Hogan of being afraid of him, hence the short Nash reign. Most of those in this list had no upside!

[@dannyaraya8017]

dead horse

[@cliffordjackson3]

@@nizik1979 Out of all my years of watching wrestling you are the first and only wrestling fan that I have seen that said you loved the finger poke of doom.

[@nizik1979]

@@cliffordjackson3 Because I'm nWo 4 Life. To me it was nWo getting the best of WCW. The internet wasn't everywhere so I kept kayfabe alive. Now no matter how hard I try to keep it going. Every wrestling conversation I have always steers into "pushes" and who needs this and that. Internet took the fun out of Wrestling. I want my favorites to win every match....

[@Bman32x]

WCW was pretty wacky even before 2000. Shockmaster, Halloween Havoc’s electric chair match, Sting consistently being the most gullible man in wrestling, the NWO running their course by January 1999, Ric Flair shaving his head and becoming Spartacus…. All prior to that logo change which to me, was the bell toll of the death of WCW.

[@Tony-fq5bn]

They had a nice like 3, maybe 4 year run where they were doing really well, like WcW was still goofy in 95, but they were building one of the best talent rosters of all time and all those future stars like Y2J, Benoit, Eddie, the CW's etc came in. 96 and 97 everyone knows, and 98 is the last good year, however I'd say it plateaued in late 97 and was downhill from these, even though there was still plenty of great stuff. 99 they were hanging by a thread but they changed their production in April 99 and Russo came in in October and they never recovered from those two things. The Russo shit is just brutal, I've not watched almost any of it since it was live

[@heisensaul5538]

and how can we forget The Yet-ai!!!!!!

[@dustinsensenig9798]

The mental hospital skits were done in 99, not 2000. I know this cuz I'm watching the Reliving the War series on Wrestling Bios

[@ScumDog420]

I love that channel especially when I'm going to sleep

[@angelochase3873]

Glad someone else said this

[@tomseville2345]

The editor corrected him...

[@AnEternalEnigma]

There is a *1999 at the top right of the start of that part

[@zanethind]

Brad Pitt killing a guy and then saying to te camera that the guy isn't actually dead is basically Deadpool breaking the fourth wall😂😅

[@maxpower7113]

I actually really want to see Brad Pitt do that now.

[@tafua_a]

Not even Deadpool would do that

[@timwright3218]

Now hold up hold up. Hogan having special super vision was established when he could see the Warrior in the mirror and Bish couldn't. Clearly Hogan can see anything that can be captured by a camera. That's just solid continuity.

[@ChaosUnfold]

"10 Times Vince Russo Ruined Wrestling" Book it, Simon!

[@multiyapples]

Only 10?

[@johnaustin209]

Simon's exit from WhatCulture. BOOK IT!

[@psychotheunsane7285]

You do realize you'd only cover maybe 10% of the stuff. You'd need to add an extra zero.

[@TeamHunt14]

Well you can't blame the Warrior stuff on Russo. Plus the wwe did do the mirror thing with Orton and The Undertaker.

[@psychotheunsane7285]

@@TeamHunt14 True that. I blame the Warrior stuff on Warrior himself--he was so unhinged at that point in his career. Not sure what sort of peyote he was smoking, to be honest. Probably reacted badly with his steroids. 😂

[@jeff-ds2pr]

Guessing this guy never realized WCW existed before 1998? You missed, the Yeti, Shockmaster, and Robocop.

[@Illgaia]

You mean "THE YEH-TAY!"

[@Kreux21]

Every playlist regarding WCW includes the moments you mentioned. Maybe Simon was going for a little originality 🤔😉

[@vilotfox1]

Ozz

[@Hoovie9596]

I still miss WCW

[@psychotheunsane7285]

Worst WCW moment I ever saw on TV was when Sid Vicious was told to try something off a turnbuckle. We all know how that went... *CRUNCH*

[@johnaustin209]

True. That was just gruesome...

[@eddieherrera5314]

Vince “Bro” Russo

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

Russo didn't become an on air character until his return in April 2000

[@thewyattmeister59]

Screw Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara

[@monsterzinc9423]

The blood bath stuff I honestly think Nash was like f*ck this stupid idea I’ll go along with it but at last min said f*ck that and each time just moved slightly to the side to avoid it…I mean come on you can’t rule that out knowing who Nash is

[@tomseville2345]

Don't wanna say you stole this idea from WrestleLamia, BUT... You even used the *same* thumbnail shot of Nash with the missed "bloodbath"...

[@FoodEater1986]

Ric Flair in a psych ward is fucking funny.

[@coffeelocks]

The Warrior was a living cartoon on screen. Why I still love em.

[@jasondouglas152]

Stable name : new blood Call the blood " red liquid "

[@tomseville2345]

The WWF had to do that too (sometimes); "Gangrel drinking that...mysterious...red...viscous liquid..." The guy's got fucking fangs! 🤣🤣🧛‍♂🧛‍♂ But the phrase "Bloodbath" was used freely when dropping a ton of it on someone's head... 🩸🩸🩸🩸🤣🤣

[@acerimmer8338]

Sid Vicious "Half as smart" promo 😂

[@jn7339]

As a kid I didn't watch wcw in this era and I thank God I didn't. But as an adult it is supremely humorous

[@wweminehead5458]

WCW WAS ALWAYS SUS

[@RicoTheL3g3nd]

3:00 I'd highly recommend watching the Deadlock sync episode on "That's the Wall, Brother!". Its hilarious 😂😂😂

[@ArcherSuh4721]

Lost in Cleveland. The Battle Royal that was such a clusterf*ck nobody even noticed when David Arquette came out and immediately fell through a trap door meant for a different spot... then the winner was decided by a pinfall on the floor... that wasn't counted by a ref. (?!)

[@marcohavokkhaos]

Vince Russo pulled a Vince McMahon. Vinnie Mac said the same thing, when he vacated the WWE title

[@andrebdd5818]

The fact that they missed the blood not once but twice makes it even more hilarious

[@snerdterguson]

I can't believe you left out Shockmaster, Robocop and the stupidest moment in announcing history, when they thought announcing Mick Foley, one of the most beloved wrestlers of the era, was winning a title over on RAW. I know I'm not the only one who watched Nitro and recorded Raw. But that night, as soon as they said that, I switched channels. We almost all did. Essentially, they just told everyone something much better than the crap they were putting out was happening on another channel. That has to be top 10.

[@DrewMoody]

The Warrior in the mirror bit is a tad harsh. Actors being able to see apparitions or hear voices that aren't there while others can't is a very familiar, well trodden Hollywood trope. Field of Dreams anyone...?

[@princesstamika]

but it's WCW so you gotta call everything they ever did stupid while sucking off the wwe.

[@AnEternalEnigma]

What the audience of a movie and the audience of a pro wrestling show in 1998 expect are very different

[@tardiscommand1812]

5:59 warrior must have got the special powers that time that Poppa Shango made him puke up that voodoo sludge.

[@chapter024]

Unpopular opinion...Kevin nash missed the blood marks on purpose

[@derrickhaggard]

Vince Russo booking himself to win the WCW Title was embarrassing and shouldn't have happened.

They don’t blow my mind they just make me piss myself laughing everytime I watch them

[@oswanimation9005]

Vince Russo KILLED WCW.

[@stevegallo8483]

Should be NO surprise the majority of these were from Vince Russo's time running WCW.

[@badjokecoke]

Moral of the story: never let a man named Vince run creative in a wrestling company 🥴

Clicked on this by accident. Only kept watching because of Simon. Honestly thought you guys were done. I’ll keep living my life with that thought. Cheers.

0:44 WRONG! Bret continued to Wrestle afterwords and it wasn't until early next year that his career had to be ended.

[@roberthuman8091]

And why did his career end?

[@ultraexcalibur1728]

@@roberthuman8091 Because after the kick to the head he also took chair shots to the head in a hardcore match against Terry Funk and continued to Wrestle in dangerous spots in other matches that hurt his neck.

[@previouslyunnamed5992]

Most of these has the stench of Russo all over them. sometimes I think Cornette is exaggerating about Russo, then I see how Russo was in WCW, and then TNA.
