'The lizard was wearing a jacket' Why am I laughing so hard

[@jasonpdsi]

I have come into an absolute GOLD MINE with finding these review videos. Absolute GOLD. And it doesn't matter what the match or event is. This is top tier entertainment.

[@tarekjuman8339]

greatest ppv ever.

[@TheAnt2244]

This is the best WCW ppv ever imo. Wrestle War 1992 comes second.

[@outragedamerican1149]

ah 1989, good times

[@aaronouttercooch2267]

"The shithole that is downtown Baltimore" lol I was exactly one years old at the time and living in that shit hole lol

[@coda700]

The Luger match with Steamboat was the best I have ever seen Luger look even than in his matches with Flair.

[@darellbell9023]

I was there . It was explosive.

[@SpeedyDePalma]

They said 20 years ago so this must have been right before Dr. Death who died in December 2009.

[@KermitTheFrogHere]

DYNAMIC FUCKING DUDES

[@EvanSchatz]

JOHNNY ACE AND SHANE. DOUGLAS.

[@RetepAdam]

They may not have had skateboards at the Great American Bash, but google Dynamic Dudes and sure enough, the first result...

[@ReviewsRankingswithRobbySobel]

One of the best PPVs of all time

[@4ArchieLee]

It was Maryland you know so the racism was in rare form that night.

[@vilekyle3000]

I was at this show. Sid was the most OVER wrestler on the show. Baltimore was a WWF town and we were conditioned to prefer the bigger wrestlers. Sid also had "IT". His ring work may have stunk, but to have someone with his size and physique with actual charisma was rare.

[@ralph8677]

Sid absolutely had the "IT" factor. In hindsight, his billed hometown of "Wherever He Damn Well Pleases" is ironic because (and Sid himself admits this today in shoot interviews) the only thing that got in his way to being the top guy of a company was himself.

[@travismcdonald6576]

Rassslin' Rantin' Baltimore, much like Chicago and Philadelphia, is a wrestling town. They supported both companies, even though WCW ran more PPV’s in Baltimore.

[@philchroniger7839]

Baltimore and DC were border towns between the old NY territory and mid-atlantic, so they actually supported both WWF and WCW bc both had a history in those cities.

I doubt 89 Pillman could pass a drug test however

[@planescaped]

I doubt Pillman could ever pass a drug test...

Welcome back C:

[@jerransperarman9411]

good review

[@jmthehologram]

jerran sperarman good comment

[@danielescalera6638]

IMO Luger was at his best against Brody

[@The_Eastbound_Hyena]

"Here comes BOB and his HORSE FACED wife!!!" LOL

[@TheCodedtestament]

It wasn't horrible just pretty good. I was surprised by some matches, and disappointed by others.

[@ReviewsRankingswithRobbySobel]

RAQUAAHWA TheCodedtestament one of the best PPVs ever

[@jbellflower83]

Sting pre 1990 knee injury was so athletic. His vertical jump was insane.

[@antiembishop07]

Heck post knee injury Sting still dives until he broke Rude's back in Japan and stopped doing it.

[@wcjohnson123]

was my first ppv I attended. still one of my favorite events

[@alec1115]

I want to watch this PPV.

[@travismcdonald6576]

Alexander Tolivaisa It was one of the best PPV's of 1989.

[@DrJReefer]

+Alexander Tolivaisa WWE Network.

[@williammcguire130]

+Travis McDonald It was probably the best WCW PPV ever. Maaaaaybe BATB 96, but that didn't have the same match quality.

[@toptenguy1]

30:15 : If Russo was watching war games and saying "This is so predictable", I think he would actually have a point lol. I would have loved for just ONE War Games to have the faces win the toss, and then beat the hell out of the bad guys for literally the entire match. Would be the perfect revenge/comeuppance, and I bet the crowd would go crazy. But nope! Alllways the same thing!

[@thatguyfromak5190]

They do that all the time in TNA, which rustles Vinny's jimmies.

[@rickhaavisto9023]

ThatguyfromAK To be fair, they don’t have the faces win the whole time, they have two heels beating up two faces BEFORE another heel came out is awful booking all together. It says the heels in the ring are better than the faces in the ring.

[@stevencampbell2018]

Nothing wrong with being predicable if its good booking. Having the faces win the toss is bad booking.

[@SMAXZO]

So I checked...yeah, Bryan was right. To qualify for the finals, they had battle royals all throughout June.

[@Al-ou3so]

Isn’t this the PPV were vhs footage leaked of the boys all coked up in the back?

[@33apeiro]

That was the Bash 88 or 87

[@stuartmiller4852]

Scott Steiner didnt even remember this match in a shoot interview.

[@manu52dain13]

The mvp of that show was Hawk
