Wrestling was so great in the 90's

[@BC-bf2eq]

Yah and today its a fuckin joke.

[@glamgal7106]

Yes, wrestling was the BOMB in the 1990s. Because I lived in a NYC suburb(still do), it was a RITUAL for my friends and I to go to Madison Square Garden, Nassau Coliseum and the Meadowlands for "house shows." The wrestlers gave the fans "that little something extra" that made them WANT to return--they made efforts to acknowledge them. Bret said that "you never forget your fans. They are the ones who put food on your table and pay your bills." He always had/has a warm smile when he saw/sees me.

[@glamgal7106]

@@BC-bf2eq I agree with you that wrestling has become a joke--that was even before the pandemic. What's not a joke is that wrestlers have tested positive for COVID and whoever does temp checks only does it weekly, not more often than that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong--wrestling is a CONTACT sport. If distancing is needed to avoid getting sick, at the very least there should be more temp checks. Another joke is the "wellness policy" amid all this happening.

[@lucaspless8599]

@Rich Smith I always loved how the announcers claimed these holds hurt the legs. I have three brothers (two older and one younger) and we practiced every hold imaginable on each other. The crab and death lock destroy the back fiercely . I had a friend that thought it was all b.s. I told him if he could last 10 seconds in my scorpion death lock I'd give him 20 bucks (Late 90's and I was 15ish). I took it easy on him for about 5 seconds. He wheezed in pain, but wouldn't give. He even gloated that it didn't really hurt. Then I raised that scorpion tail and dropped it in nice and deep. He cried like a little beech and never sniffed that 10 seconds. I laughed hard just typing that. Good memories. And yeah, Bret's was better.

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

I've been in the Boston Crab and handed it out on three occasions. I've personally seen the Scorpion Death Lock given to a guy out of genuine anger by a another guy. Anyone who thinks these two holds are B.S. has no idea what he's talking about. If applied properly, they are incredibly effective submission holds.

[@seanboy1287]

Single leg Boston was my go-to.

[@animefan9329]

Sting didn't have to apply much pressure when he used the scorpion deathlock. He had the strength and size to make it look painful. I remember Ron garvin using the hold earlier than sting, but to me it was sting that popularized the hold from 1987 to 1991. During this time Bret was a tag team wrestler never used the hold until mid 1991. He did it with the left leg. Look like he was hurt people for real. But sting was my favorite so I was pissed. To me sting's application looks more natural and easy to do. Bret technique is excellent but a little too technical. Sting use to apply it with one hand. That to me look more impressive. The stinger is the greatest of all time.

[@michaelbobic7135]

You're right, I'd completely forgotten that Ronnie Garvin had used the scorpion.

[@EVGriffinJr]

Sting, in his early days, could make the scorpion look painful. As the years went on, it just looked weaker. Bret Hart, on the other hand, his version always looks painful! Even the times he put it on post the stroke he suffered!

[@CraigKostelecky]

The move on the post was much more of a figure-four and I believe that’s what they were calling it too.

[@EVGriffinJr]

@@CraigKostelecky I was referring to the years after Bret Harte suffered his stroke in 2002. He will occasionally still put people in the sharpshooter and it still looks more painful than anything Sting did.

[@coachmikesfilmroom3111]

@@EVGriffinJr I agree to a point. It depended on who Sting was wrestling. If he was wrestling a younger wrestler later in his career, he'd sink it in deep. If he wrestled an older vet like a flair or hogan and such, he'd not sit out near as much, taking it easier on their damaged bodies.

[@Lionel212001]

I remember Bret's matches vividly as a kid growing up in the 90s. He was my favorite wrestler back then because his matches seemed so real. He added a certain degree of legitimacy to pro wrestling and told a story like no other. In-ring, I think that only Benoit surpassed him (despite how things ended). There will never be another.

Bret would have gone over clean every time if Vince had any say in it.

[@Thor-Orion]

@@wrestlingtapes2036 Bret’s actual matches from WCW can be pretty great. It’s his booking that blows for the most part.

I believe it.

[@MrBlack-wt5er]

They actually slightly did bury Bret Hart and then tried to resurrect him and THEN used him poorly when they got him involved and actually has him completing against real heavyweights on his level rather than a bunch of mid - card wrestlers and he had to cheat half those wins or he would lose some of them and the whole booking thing was just stupid and it was probably (Nash) so I guess Nash can thank himself for contributing to the downfall of the wcw which paid him far more money than wwf

[@AestheticDelta]

During the 90s I was a WCW guy but I was a Bret Hart guy too and whether he or Sting won both were equally significant. From a wrestling and drama standpoint there were a lot more swerves than a novela, maybe more than my younger self could wrap my head around but it was great. That US Title might be the most prestigious belt worn that whole decade

[@luckywallace]

I really enjoy the match between Bret and Sting on Nitro at the end of 1999 - except for the screwy ending (which is just WCW 101 at this stage) it's a fantastic meeting between the two. Bret actually had a pretty good run at the end of 1999 in WCW up until he was injured, including the classic Owen Hart memorial match and finally winning the title at Mayhem.

Right on the mark. These two had a far more intricate parallel than the much more cosmetic aspects of Sting and Taker.

I remember, the day it was announced Bret Hart was coming to WCW, all I thought was that he and Sting would have a kickass feud because of the finisher move they both shared. Wasn't quite what was expected, however, much like the rest of Bret Hart's short-lived stint in WCW. :/ I don't remember if it was Bret himself who said it or if it was someone else from that era, but someone once said that "WCW had no idea what to do with Bret Hart". I think that quote sums up the whole situation pretty well. In my opinion, Bret added two things that made his sharpshooter stand out over the years: he executed it lower which made it look more painful and he would often hold it for a long period of time back during those years, which made it look more like torture than a pro wrestling submission move. As a matter of fact, I think the way Bret executed the sharpshooter on Stone Cold Steve Austin during their now famous match is one of the reasons why Austin became a fan favorite, because it looked damn painful and Austin just wouldn't give up. Sting however had the best turnbuckle splash ever. He usually didn't call for it beforehand and yet you could feel when he was about to do it.

[@RobGamesOn]

Hart may have held the sharpshooter better than Sting with the SDL, but Sting had more tools to work with. Stinger Splash as a setup move similar to Goldberg and his Spear... then there's the Scorpion Death Drop which is a reversed DDT that just looks devastating.

[@nathanwagner9895]

im sure it has been said here in the comments , but my ultimate dream match is Kurt Angle vs Bret Hart.

[@deshawndodd7883]

HELL YEAH THAT'S A GOOD ONE

[@nathanwagner9895]

@@deshawndodd7883 hell yea bro. i have actually simulated the match a few times in fire pro wrestling world... its funny cause the results each time are kurt will win, then bret will win.. its 50/50 booking done by the AI hahahaha.. imagine if bret stayed in WWE (WWF at the time obviously lol) in november of 1997... he was literally 2 years away from angles debut at the 1999 survivor series...... and even more sad... owen hart literally passed away SIX FREAKING MONTHS BEFORE KURTS DEBUT....

[@therattlesnake1614]

Another great wrestling Bio 👍

[@shelbykhan7270]

This match was a dream match in every way possible!

Bret Hart is the best ever, I don’t know why that’s so controversial. His matches tell the best stories.

[@rigoventura3334]

Sir, I like your vídeos because you are very specific with the details and professional.

[@ferriswheeler08]

5:48 Scott Norton and Curt Hennig take the.. ''perfect'' beer throw lol

[@rogerbraswelljr.923]

Funny how they said Sting was smaller than his opponents. I met him in 1988 and dude was huge. I was only 15 but still.

[@djaceofspades4039]

I remember Adrian Adonis using the submission hold in WWF. It was called the reverse figure four at the time. This was years before Bret Hart or Sting used the hold.

[@arh15101986]

I actually saw Sting vs Bret at a WCW house show in January of 1999. Sting worked as a baby face with his black and white look while Bret was heel. Sting won with a Scorpion Death Drop for a clean pin.

[@DdotAdot]

Glad we got your opinion at the end! I agree with Bret performing the move better.

[@jameswarner5878]

16:48 Bret's rope. 17:42 Bret's rope.

[@PreacherTHC]

Would love to see a video about Harvey whippleman not a lot of people talk about him but he did have a considerable contribution to the wrestling organization and I have very much would like to see a wrestling bio on him if possible love your work by the way

[@JRock-xv3sk]

Little brothers everywhere would say the death lock feels just like being in the sharpshooter

[@DigitalBath742]

Move vs move dream matches that never happened: Steve Austin vs Disco Inferno.

[@Ellie-i7q-t5w]

🤣🤣🤣

[@floyd2386]

That would've been a Chart Buster. May have even been Stone Cold's Last Dance.

[@FighterMindset2024]

Didn't hogan's friend the wannabe dog the bounty hunter also used that finisher?

[@GameTime-yj6qv]

Love Sting, his Stinger Splash and death drop were awesome, but he wouldn't sit back on the sharpshooter so it didn't look like he applied much pressure. Bret would hook the sharpshooter on nicely, sit low, and lean back, making the sharpshooter look like it was very painful.

[@frankrizzo7713]

Bret's el dandy promo was the best lol

[@GooniesNeverSayDie1980]

The Scorpion Death Drop is more awesome than both, my vote tho goes to the Scorpion Death Lock between the two holding finishers....

[@fatcat8033]

Nash with the backwards bandana and open check shirt trying to look all “ street “ 🤔😂
