I came here after I heard the news. This is definitely one of my favorite episodes of wrestling with wregret. And Brian Danovich's appearance and humor definitely made this episode a special one. Rest In Peace Spartan Swinger.

[@landodoesreviews3300]

I have massive respect for Brian for continuing the course even with a torn pec, being able to laugh at all the jokes thrown at him, and for trying to continue wrestling even when he was full of injuries full on respect for Brian Danovich

[@salamanderking173]

[@leahcimpmek9806]

A great who followed his dream and showed great perseverance. A funny, loyal and great man. Rest in Peace Brian Danovich.

[@mrsevendeadlysins5591]

I just found out about Brian Danovich's passing a few minutes ago and decided to watch this video again, this time in memory of him. My condolences to you Brian and anyone else who was a friend or fan of Danovich. R.I.P Spartan Swinger.

[@paulitocomedy]

"Too late I hurt my knee" I laughed so hard at that.

You could tell Bob Holly was seconds away from losing it when Miz said "bash this"

[@flclfan85]

he looked like it was one part trying not to break character and start laughing and one part just straight up wrecking The Miz's shit lol

[@TheConpletionist]

Just heard the news, sorry for your loss Brian, I'll keep on supporting your as an entertainer and person in his memory for as long as I can, and thank you for your content, It really helps in escaping from the frustrations of life

[@MrWrestling86]

In light of Brian Danovich's untimely passing I decided to rewatch this. He seemed like such a big, lovable goof (and I mean that in the nicest way possible). (sigh) Go hug a friend and tell them how much you mean to them. It may seem corny, but you never know how much a gesture like that can help somebody. You could save a life and not even know it.

[@Charlotte-eo2bn]

It's funny cause Jeff Hardy also lied about his age when starting out in WWE

[@willkayl8793]

It’s crazy to see and hear how much better Zane has gotten over the years. The audio quality is way better.

[@Djiehh]

You could have used a picture of Snuka for the murderer part, would have felt much more deserved than Scott Hall.

[@Jamesamong007]

Props to Brian for willing to make fun of himself for this.

[@slashandbones13]

Daniel Puder's entire career, not just WWE, only had 34 matches

[@claymathewselevator8121]

I’m actually shocked it was that many

[@TheMistahWooseNetwork]

RIP Brian Danovich! 😔

[@EmperorNero]

I would not call Hall a murderer at all what he did he did in self defense this is well known. It traumatized him so much for years Zane.

[@shadowblast4237]

Can you tell me what happened with Hall?

[@KegOfMeat]

Zane

[@s7eve1980]

+Emperor Nero *cough* Snooka

[@Aeradom2000]

+Stephan Fabry You know, it's kind of weird he didn't just put his picture up there instead of Scott Hall.

[@teamhex]

+Dustin Andras From what I understand Hall was bar tending at a strip club. Guy got into it with him over a girl. Guy went into the parking lot. Hall walked out to talk to the manager(who was talking to the guy at this point). Hall cracked the guy with a punch. Guy fell and pulled out a gun, pointed it at Hall. Hall wrestled the gun and shot him in the head. HE should have gotten in trouble. In fact they charged him with 2nd degree murder, but dropped the charges. Him following the guy outside is what would have put him away. It was self defense...but Hall did throw the first punch so he was basically the aggressor.

[@bradydicarlo9143]

R.I.P. Brian Danovich. As a fellow Italian, he seemed like a great paisan.

[@notgonnalieitsprettyfunny7884]

Brian Danovich is the true underdog.. Rip Brian Danovich

[@mikethegrunty5968]

RIP spartan swinger 😭

[@DerrickVW]

I'm glad Brian can make light about his multiple injuries. It's sad that his career in WWE got cut so short due to them.

[@commentcopbadge6665]

So unfortunate about Brian Danovich's passing. He's obviously a great person that was well liked, loved and respected by all who knew him. Not knowing him personally this was the best way I knew to celebrate the memory of this man. Watching and enjoying his appearance in this video. My heart and condolences to you Zane and the rest of his friends and family. Rest peacefully, Brian Danovich.

[@Ghostface2point0]

I got way too hype to see Hurricane do the intro

[@fabulouswumbo2612]

Same

[@skippythealien9627]

Tough Enough is so god awful to watch in retrospect...especially that 2011 revival Side note, that black guy with the dreadlocks in the Luke Gallows shot at 2:25 was on a BBC show called Last Man Standing, which had three americans and three Britons travel around the world to partake in sports among rural communities. It was a great show

[@christiankallio8586]

This season of Tough Enough reminds me of the first few seasons of NXT, where the challenges were just goofy challenges that had little to do with actual wrestling, and fans decided who would stay on the show. And just like Tough Enough, the most successful guy was not the winner.

[@iandude1]

Season 1's most successful (in terms of being around wrestling longevity-wise) is actually Josh Lomberger (Mathews), who while he doesn't wrestle anymore, has been an announcer for a long time. Not to mention Harvard Chris and the concussion study that he was a part of that was somewhat tied to WWE.

[@willcooke5308]

I can think of a bigger time waster: Brawl For All Jesus Christ, Russo...

[@Nicknacktheking]

w

[@ashhill9848]

True but JBL getting his ass handed too him by Bart Gunn was the one positive thing that came from it.

[@KegOfMeat]

Just like Good Ole Corny said: People were conditioned for years to think pro wrestling was real but then it came out that it was a scripted program and so once people knew it was scripted, they thought the fights were scripted but not real. If that made sense.

[@2RG_]

i thought it was entertaining at the time. and that bart gunn ko at mania is a wm moment for sure

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

+Dillon Haggett yeah i never get tired of seeing bradshaws lights go out

[@jackyvoe]

Puder would've been successful if he wasn't such an asshole. WWE didn't turn him heel. He was already a heel, and the fans didn't know better. He was out of line trying to break Angle's arm, and should have been sent home right after that. To this day, Puder still brags about almost ending Angle's career. None of the other wrestlers liked his shitty attitude or poor in-ring work, and he got what he deserved.

[@mitchcolburn1216]

Angle literally challenged the guys to shoot fights, you dumbass. Angle deserved to get his arm broken

[@TheCobraism]

WWE doesn't like liars, even though they lied about the attendance at Wrestlemania 32.

[@MrBrbowles]

Wrestling in of itself is a lie.

[@derpygoku]

[@jrwizz]

Them saying that is the biggest bullshit ive ever heard

[@rossadams9203]

And WrestleMania 3

[@classicbananamilk]

something that produces a future wwe hall of famer can't be called a complete waste of time

[@elidolo6993]

BigMonkeyOnAStick The Brawl for All, now THAT was a complete waste of time. Nobody got over because of it, it wasn't even over during its run, and the one purpose it served, failed. (Making Steve Williams a star.) The only thing it gave Us that wasn't a total pile of shit, was Butterbean's hillarious KO punch to Bart Gunn.

[@joey7440]

Rip Brian Danovich you were a good man

[@lewislepton]

After seeing the update regarding danovich it's sad to see a very promising person like him go. Being a person that has dealt with suicide personally on many occasions, its so sad to see a vibrant & fun person that did have a great future ahead of them in a different platform to entertain many, leave in such an awful way. This was the video that got me to know danovich & love his personality that he shared, but also the ability to laugh at yourself with truths about ones self

[@josephtelegen8754]

I mean, Brian...Big Show came back from the damn dead in about five minutes to win the title that night. That's some damn dues paying. #BigShowWantsHisProps

[@MoonspiderHugs]

I always found it funny that the losers of tough enough ended up getting a better WWE tenure than the winners...

[@ToolBama33]

RIP Brian Danovich. Seems like a genuine, nice dude

[@timf7413]

It's worth noting that Million Dollar Tough Enough was the only season to produce 2 major stars who had lengthy runs.

[@GamersHolyArmy]

Brian said that at the end.

[@rickyrosay33977]

And it was the only one that produced a world champion

It's hard to watch this knowing what happened to Swinger but he seemed like a genuinely good guy who was at least able to laugh at all of his misfortune and turn it into a positive for a short spell. Rest easy Danno.

Dan Rodimer went to my Church for a few years not to long ago. He is a really humble guy and a Great person to talk to. He Had to retire after a botched DDT that gave him a career ending concussion at a main roster house show, but he is now a Lawyer and has a really nice wife and daughter. Its cool to see him back then.

[@ThisGuyTomTV]

Oh crap, I just realized that they pulled this again with the NXT Game Show... Who wants Zane to talk about that and the burial of The Nexus and The Corre? hahaha

[@ItDoesntMatterReally]

+This Guy Tom Not to mention the diva's NXT year where the commentary actively buried the show.

[@ThisGuyTomTV]

RollandDynasty It was only the first season that made me not watch the rest of the whole run lol It was so bad and it bummed me out that it was crap like that that replaced the meh ecw revival (I actually watched that more than raw and smackdown since late 2007 all the way to the end)

[@dogmd7]

This was a great episode and Dano did a great job but it's hard to watch him make light of what would ultimately be part of what made him commit suicide just a few years later with his injuries that held him back professionally from achieving his life dreams. Really unfortunate, this guy had a lot going for him, rest in peace Brian Danovich.
