Monster Jam Evolution of World Finals Part 1

[@ricardoearellanes7293]

World Finals 9 is, without a doubt, the best ever. The track was amazing, the racing was great, and the freestyles were crazy. It checked all the boxes for what a memorable Monster Jam show needs. Also, was Jim Creten really not happy with Madusa and El Toro Loco taking a shot at his truck at World Finals 5 or is it just an assumption?

[@MikloMeadows]

on the broadcast he makes a comment about how the year before he couldnt hit el toro who was on the container but they gave the okay when it was him

[@ricardoearellanes7293]

@@MikloMeadows Oh ok. Yeah, I'd be pretty mad too lol

[@The1997Hman]

i was at the world finals 9

[@MikloMeadows]

[@hacker2010]

ngl both Madusa and El toro Loco's Freestyle Runs were boing. Max-D should have won and not in a tie.

[@harveylong5878]

alex blackwell has stated he rolled captains curse in last ditch effort to slow down, he knew it wasnt stopping. plowing into the containers/stands straight on wouldve caused more damage so blackwell made the call to roll capt's curse

[@joeapo5584]

Such a great video. Can't wait for part two. World finals ten was my first world finals I ever got to see in person. I was absolutely hooked after that. I attended almost every single world finals in Vegas until it wasn't hosted there anymore.

[@reidcraig3739]

I like how you included the video game music from Monster Jam, Urban Assault, and Path of Destruction in the background for the last 3 in the video

[@anidiotontheinternet4648]

What is the music he used for 12:26

[@reidcraig3739]

@@anidiotontheinternet4648 It was either the first one or urban assault, right now I’m getting nostalgic to play the games right now it has been almost couple years since I last played one

[@jacobfriesen715]

Oh the nostalgia. As a kid I used to watch the hour long youtube videos of the American broadcast from all the early world finals. KZbin deleted all those videos a long time ago for copyright reasons I’d imagine, but it still sucked because those videos shaped my childhood. This video gives a great description of all of them

[@MarvelMTs]

Proud to say that I was there live for 15 of the 21 WFs ever, notably 2006 straight through to the end of the Vegas era in 2018. Many tell me that I was there for the golden years of the biggest event in monster trucks

[@Thunderbirds404]

Fact: Jim Koehler ran a special paint scheme in 2001, carrying a no. 3 flag cuz one month prior to world final ii, NASCAR lost their hero, Dale Earnhardt, on a fatal crash on the final lap of the 43rd annual Daytona 500.

[@RosTheHaroldClotFan]

Raise hell, praise Dale

[@george_2172]

You learn something new every day, I had no idea world finals spanned such a longer history than I thought

[@808tennisguy]

Serious nostalgia here! Great analysis, archiving, & notable mentions from the decade of destruction at the Monster Jam World Finals in Vegas. You sir, MonsterTalk, are on it! Looking forward to seeing more of these videos. Attended World Finals 4 & 6 during that decade & always caught the other years on TV, DVD, or VHS!

[@marcosluis201]

5:23 - 5:29 Dennis Anderson: Yo you wanna like total our trucks buddy-roe? Tom Meents: Sure why not.

[@monsterjamin24-79]

IMO, World Finals 1-9 was the golden era of the event. World Finals 10-12 were still good, but not quite as spectacular as previous ones. World Finals 13-15 was when dirt started to take over, but still had some crushable obstacles and good moments. World Finals 16-17 were just garbage. World Finals 18 was amazing. World Finals 19-21 were just really boring and were when the World Finals started having unnecessary changes added to it.

[@Spyke-lz2hl]

2:55 That’s a 180 degree turn…. Total nitpick. Great job!

[@BlizzardDaPup777]

I was at world finals 7. It's sadly underrated and idk why. Scorcho and monster mutt had amazing runs Dennis and meents drove to the edge to win the event. Tons of amazing talent with its stacked line up. Just all in all a great show

[@Kee23383]

Very agreeable

[@smoggyimpala9934]

Man... seeing the old World Finals tracks with the songs from the old Monster Jam games gave me a nostalgia trip. Good Job on the video!

[@natethesnake3765]

I always wondered why Tom stopped when Curse flipped over. I always believed it was to make sure everyone was ok before he crossed the line or something like that.

[@miketrapper0464]

[@tonystpierre2006]

great video, keep it up bro. these monster jam facts and top 10 videos are the best

[@HDTech22]

I really miss the old Scott Douglas days.

[@TheHatGuy1500]

Back in my younger years like age 6 year 2012 my first World Finals Las Vegas Nevada, was in 2001 bot racing & freestyle. And btw MonsterTalk you make the best content, this is a great video so far.

[@elQuestionare]

I remember watching those old school monster truck shows on a little tv in our kitchen, when i was really young. It was always in the morning like 6:30 a.m. when they showed this sometimes. I loved it.

[@deefuknbaby]

Wf 5 definitely my favorite I’ve never known why

[@itz_jacoby3]

World Finals 9 is the best world finals to date. Change my mind.

[@tonystpierre2006]

fr bro freestyle from that event was great

[@The1997Hman]

i was there

[@Higher1mpact]

Great video man! Been a fan since the early 90’s and watching you go over or break down certain ideas is great to watch. Can’t wait for part 2.

[@KONGRVERSE]

That was good video maybe one of the best videos i ever seen on youtube since 2011

[@Nimmy_Jeutron_]

Really solid video. Nice to see Some one cover this. I’m a weirdo so WF 6 is my favorite, but WF 9 is probably the best show of all time.

[@MadKingTylor]

Anyone else have the old World Finals on VHS tapes?

[@itsthefrogmafia]

i do

I watched the complete pay per view version of #2, and was amazed at the carnage, especially in racing. I’d only seen the broadcast version of freestyle. I associate World Finals 5 or 11 to have a ton of crashes and wrecks, and I was surprised to see the drivers be so reckless in 2001.
