Darkest Days In American Wrestling History (Pro Wrestling Documentary)

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Yeah it’ll always be absurd that they went on with the show because if that happened today in any other sporting event there’s no chance they’d continue the event. Just look back at the Bills v Bengals game. After damar Hamlin came so close to death they cancelled the game and that game very easily may have played a significant role in the conference playoff picture and anybody who mentioned that concern got their ass torn up. If WWE did what they did with Owen in today’s world it would be a disaster for them and even so I don’t think they’d have continued the show if they had a redo. I think they honestly just didn’t know what to do and just made a choice and unfortunately it was the wrong one.

Good Lord ! A mark shows up at an ECW event, wants to be a part of the show and is asked to blade, but isn't comfortable about it and suggests that his opponent does it for him. That's crazy enough, but when you're dealing with a true loose cannon like New Jack, that's beyond crazy...that's totally insane. NJ was one of those guys that didn't always subscribe to the concept of "protecting your fellow worker" during a match. I never was comfortable with blading either, but I'd rather do it to myself than trust someone like New Jack to do it for me.

Man, your documentaries are fantastic; it's clear you've put a lot of work into the research, scripting, and editing, and the effort is more than paid off by the quality of the final product, which have been consistently impressive, engaging, and interesting.

However, there's absolutely NO excuse for New Jack's actions. He butchered that kid and knew what he was doing. He was always a violent, short fused, aggressive, arrogant, disgusting thug. How can you not feel sympathy for a KID getting his face slashed? Regardless of who was in the ring and where, nobody should have been subjected to that. New Jack should've been sued into the ground and locked up for that.

@@Loe_Jist I agree ECW should’ve done more then take another wrestler’s word that the kid was legit. Yes I can absolutely blame that idiot kid and his dumbass father for what happened to him. As you said at that time everyone knew that guy was dangerous and they still let that kid step in on one of new jacks matches. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. As far as new jack is concerned never liked the guy. Not saying what he did was right because it wasn’t however had it been a legit wrestler in the ring that psycho wouldn’t have been cutting the other guy.

Sheppard was cleared by DNA evidence in 1997, 27 years, After his death in 1970.after he was exhumed for DNA testing involving another case, he was then buried next to his murdered wife. His son worked to restore his reputation. In 1999, Alan Davis, a lifelong friend of Sheppard and administrator of his estate, sued the State of Ohio in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas for Sheppard's wrongful imprisonment. On February 22, 2002, the Eighth District Court of Appeals ruled unanimously that the civil case should not have gone to the jury, on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired, and that a claim for wrongful imprisonment died with Sam Sheppard. "I didn't kill my wife." - Dr. Sheppard "I don't care" - the legal system.

He told Heyman he was comfortable bleeding, but had never juiced before and said NJ could do it for him. NJ sliced him, one side to the other, to the skull with a scalpel severing several arteries in his forehead. As MT was being wheeled to the back on a gurney, he was telling his dad, “it’s ok dad.

No one could ever get the heat and fan support Bret had going into WCW and WCW dropped the ball. The real tragity in the "Screw Job," was not in the night, that was the birth of two amazing pushes for Vince McMahon as a heel and Bret with the nuclear level fan support and heat, which was dropped by WCW.

[@JaySplash00]

Moolah was a real piece of shit huh? Great video. Well done.

[@MasterP120]

God video. But I do think during the Moolah part, those little voiceovers you (or whoever it was) did, are quite unfourtunate. It covers some very serious things and then there are these ‘silly’ voiceovers which just seems completely out of place and almost makes light of a horrible thing. I know that wasnt the intention but it could have been done without the use of silly voiceovers imo.

[@SBG33_3]

Never knew the anvil was apart of that.. wow

[@WrestlePod]

Terrible isn’t it

[@harry-thepug76]

Why no "Plane Ride From Hell"?

[@christopherbaker9676]

Im sure he was still under contract. But ive always wondered why Owen didn't follow Bret to WCW. RIP owen

[@jimkeister4150]

Toxicology reports said Benoit had no steroids in his system.

[@jackdough8164]

I don’t think it was 0. It was at therapeutic levels because he had been prescribed them for an injury. But not at any levels that would have effects that roids are known for.

[@buhbuhjaychampagne1706]

There was wine bottles and beer cans in trash cans around the house and on the floor, but there was none in his system. Nancy had wine in her system. There was three different crime scene documents, all three had Nancy’s body in different locations. There’s too many unanswered questions that will never be answered.

I've always heard the Blue Blazer gimmick was given to Owen, as a punishment for turning down a storyline in which he would have an on screen affair with Debra.

[@elc1960]

He had wrestled as the Blazer at another time in WWF, as well as in Stampede Wrestling. They resurrected that character as a way to punish him for the Debra thing; you are right about that.

[@deelove7518]

In other words Vince McMahon has Owen's blood stained on his hands for life

[@Joeelkins.]

I don't think Owen wanted to do the blue blazer gimmick. Pretty sure this was due to him.turning down a bad taste story line.

[@BigBadJerryRogers]

I thought the whole thing was to mock what WCW was doing with Sting, that's why they were using the same entrance

[@Obironnkenobi]

The rumor is that the whole gimmick was because the original plan was for him to enter into an affair angle where he hooks up with Deborah who was linked with Jeff Jarrett but Owen shot it down hard, so they gave him the Blazer gimmick instead, some say as punishment.

[@atheistapostate7019]

I’ve heard several wrestlers state it was not roid rage either, all due to the same explanations given by Vince and the specialist. I once thought roid rage too

[@Jkg496]

The WWE didn’t wonna take blame because they are a business. Chris also had CTE and we’ve all seen what that can do to you. Some people and companies are really pieces of 💩

[@billxmas889]

Lol there was a movie based on Shepherd, Lol there was a 5 Emmy nominated 4 season television show based on Shepherd, which the movie was closely based from .

[@cesarbardales2209]

I'm not a wwe fan but you should change the title to "fucked up situations in pro wrestling"

[@gqloc6768]

They weren't f'd up! If you can't separate fiction from reality, well than you are the one with the problems.

[@WaldoBagelTopper]

The Alberto El Patron section: He did some bad stuff. On to Owen Hart!

[@AldershotDave]

Shame you didn't go into more detail about Alberto El Patron (Alberton Del Rio).

[@ianmorris4922]

6:59;Is that Davey Boy Smith under the pillowcase alongside Anvil?!?

Did anyone else have to speed up this video midway because it was like slow motion?

[@Rob78169]

Man, never seen that Neidhart, Virgil match before. Lost alot of respect for Neidhart!! Totally disgusting!!👎

[@WrestlePod]

A total disgrace for sure

[@Jizzlewobbwtfcus]

You failed to mention one of the medical reports showed that Chris Benoit had soo many concussions his brain scans showed massive black spots which also explains his conversations and letters to Eddie Guerrero. In those letters he expressed extreme paranoia saying "they're coming to get me. They are coming. I have to save my family". Eddie would always be there for him to help him through those traumas but when Eddie died I think something snapped. Eddie was his best friend and that plus the years of brain damage played the biggest part of what he did. He wasn't aware of what he was doing. But I don't hold this against you. Most media was pushing the steroids being the main cause narrative because it was easy for them to have a recognized scapegoat. This was a great compilation mate but I was shocked and disgusted about Moola's story. I had no idea!

[@WrestlePod]

I go into much more detail in my full Benoit video

[@brandtsavoy6123]

rey shouldnt have been blamed for Perro. if anyone its konnan grabbing and shaking the man. Yea, perro was already Fucked,but the way Konnan was wrenching his neck and turning his head,etc

[@EatTheMarxists]

I still remember when Sgt. Slaughter betrayed the USA for Iraq. A dark day. A dark day indeed.

The Benoit Murders is probably one of the reasons why I stopped watching WWE in 2007.

[@rayfincham1595]

I honestly don’t see what was racist about Jordan Miles t-shirt. It was on a black shirt with his name on it and with red behind said name. Can someone please tell me how that is racist?

[@mngirl8865]

Cause it strongly resembles a racist caricature of black people, when white actors would do blackface for minstrel theater.

[@johnblaze2665]

@@mngirl8865 strongly? That’s a stretch.

[@rayfincham1595]

@@johnblaze2665 was about to say how did that even resemble “minstrel show actors”. I personally just think he wanted out of his contract. I’ve seen worse and his shirt is fricking tame.

Add the murder of my friend Bruiser Brody.

[@highlanderholyfield855]

You deserve more subs, these videos are very informative and interesting but, your editing skills are subpar with awkward cuts and black screens, your commentary/audio is also very choppy. If you improved these things i could see youre channel blowing up. Your vids have to many views to only have 48k subs.

[@WrestlePod]

This is an old video. I really appreciate your constructive criticism and feedback. I have worked to address the issues you mentioned and have since moved house and got a proper studio to work in. It’s not perfect but with hard work I am improving! Thanks for the comment
