Bryan, Vinny & Craig review WCW Nitro January 1998

[@scottnapier943]

Howard Finkel passed away earlier today, sad news on top of everything else that's happened. Arguably the greatest Wrestling ring announcer of all time, Rest In Peace.

[@scottnapier943]

@Joshua Sharwood Sorry for the bad news bro! 🙏👍

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

His passing will be used to inflate covid death numbers, lol

[@Mister_Phafanapolis]

@Joshua Sharwood WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, what an irrationally aggressive response. Also, not a conspiracy theory, officials are counting people as covid-related deaths even if they were never tested. Here is an example: abc7ny.com/health/nyc-death-count-revised-by-nearly-4000-bringing-citys-toll-over-11000/6103218/ Also, if tests are so previous that not everybody can be tested, then why was a fucking tiger tested? www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/2020/04/tiger-coronavirus-covid19-positive-test-bronx-zoo/ Just having some light-hearted fun here, ya fuck.

[@jonathanschmeh5709]

@@Mister_Phafanapolis you are an idiot. There aren't enough tests for the government to test everyone, but if you have money you can get tested by private labs. It's how all the NBA players got tested early on, they paid private labs.

[@Eidenhoek]

ARGUABLY? No one would say otherwise. GOAT announcer, period.

[@gkgyver]

Bret vs Flair, I remember that... Imagine at Souled Out going like "ok Bret, you're a huge star, and you're wrestling an even bigger star, you just arrived, show everyone what you are - you got 12 minutes"

[@CCLonYT]

So on January 5, 1998, you could watch the likes of The Barbarian vs. John Nord on Nitro, or... Stone Cold Steve Austin going on a pre-Royal Rumble Stunner parade on RAW.

[@StoneColdSergio]

"They should've kept running the shows in Jacksonville, FL." Vinny predicted AEW 2020.😮

[@rossomac21]

Let's be fair, Krazyeman is the king of quarantine.

[@priimovalentiino1640]

Big facts.. I need retro raws from the time bret hart turned heel vs stone cold..to the time foley wins the title.. its gunna be a long time but I love vinny and Bryan's Meng/Barb reviews

"And I've walked with Steve Sims, who I thought was the fastest walker I'd ever seen" I can second this comment.

[@supergravy6104]

Whatever happened to Steve Sims being on Wrestling Observer Live? It's been a few years.

[@posteveryside-beatsnews]

I love when Craig is there too. He adds so much

[@Eidenhoek]

I believe Matt Hughes did something like a running powerslam in UFC once. Looked kinda cool.

[@TJDious]

It was more of a lurching powerslam really.

[@kingblue2646]

That John Nord vs Barbarian match is on Dailymotion. Holy shit. Best bad match of all time. B&V undersold the camel clutch. It needs to be seen.

[@someguywithcancer1595]

I heard the review, went and watched the match, and then repeated the review, match over and over and it’s the most amazing match.

[@soba4110]

The spot where they exchange irish whips into the entrance guardrails was beautiful. This match was awesome!

[@lauraamey827]

Anyone else listen to these then go watch the episodes on the network?

[@Pbarwik]

sometimes, when they rave about a Malenko or Eddie's match I try to at least write down the episode.

[@jrlonergan6773]

I write all these down for the day I get the network back

[@MackGeddon]

„Richard Martell - man Vs Brad Armstrong - fella“ XDXD Thanks for the upload, man!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ryandoubleu.]

It really is a shame of what happened with Martel. He was on a career resurgence, great baby face roll up until that tragic injury forced him out. Really sucks it has to happen to him since he really seemed like a genuinely nice guy.

[@Pbarwik]

heh it's starts with talking about Thunder, they just reviewed 2nd episode.

[@GregoryWeagle]

One of the Nitro reviews is actually a full remake of a previous review B&V did years before. I like the remake a lot more.

[@andrewwhyte4739]

39:10 Vinny realizing Jacksonville is a great wrestling city 21 years before AEW!

[@andrewnyman4128]

We always loved wrestling here. My dad took me to the war games when it was here. Great memories

[@matthewroberts6833]

It was always great even back in the days of Georgia Championship Wrestling. They even managed to make Dusty finishes look cool.

[@ahmeddemha6112]

Andrew Whyte Damning indictment of the Jacksonville Jaguars and a casual disregard of the fact of what state Jacksonville is in.

[@tthomaselli2]

Is the part where Randy "The Macho Man" Savage flips out that Vinny & Bryan were talking about at 2:04:42-2:04:56 on KZbin?... If so, I want to see that. I remember watching this episode of 'WCW Monday Nitro' with a friend of mine & busted a gut when I heard Randy "The Macho Man" Savage say "A BUNCH OF CLOWNS!...".

[@TommyVinMI]

Ahhhh I can’t wait!!! Lol

[@tthomaselli2]

I remember the segment from 'WWE RAW' that Bryan Alvarez talked about involving Kevin Owens, Chris Jericho & Roman Reigns from 2:18:19-2:19:59... As ridiculous as it was, I thought it was awesome, on the other hand.

[@RoninBgk]

2:14:22 Poor Ray Traylor RIP Bryan's was right btw

[@jaywilliams4770]

They put that angle in one of the wwe games 1:43:34 where they banned your move lol

[@SuperMutant2099]

Nick Patrick claim as of few weeks ago on Biscoff's podcast that he was told to count normally. By biscoff. Who doesn't remember what he said. Take it for a grain of salt but knowing WCW and how bad it was......

[@SkullCrusher416]

[@gregamania1327]

What a pittance.

[@OldManDoom]

The Shawn Michaels DX on top was the worst run in the company. Don’t give a shit about late era Hogan, the new generation, Diesel’s run- Shawn Michaels DX run on top was the absolute worst. It’s not a coincidence that as soon as Shawn dropped the belt to Stone Cold, WWF started beating WCW every week

[@ahmeddemha6112]

Old Man Doom Largely because WCW was doing idiotic shit like making Sting drop the title 2 weeks after beating Hogan in a match that had a shitty false finish, Booking terrible tournaments, running an extra hour longer than needed etc. not because by comparison WWF was the better booked show overall.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

I can't disagree. Nick Patrick should have been fucking fired. He really must have some dirt on someone.

[@matthewkey689]

Bryan and crew crap on matches where the guys don't sell moves. Years later they love AEW matches where they sell even less.

Years of watching awesome NJPW matches and loads of cookie-cutter WWE matches can change your perspective.
