Cornette made a great point in his look back at brawl for all. When brawl for all happened. Ken shamrock and Dan Severn were in the locker room... JBL was a mid level guy at the time and wasnt shooting off at the mouth with 2 future ufc hall of famers ... Russo came up with that reasoning years and years later when it became a thing to claim JBL was a bully

[@Jestin612]

I don't even like corny all that much 😂. But, when it comes to all things wrestling and vince russo related, I'm with him 100% 😂.

[@Jestin612]

And I just saw a video last week of Cornette talking about that.

[@SirMartinJonesy]

I love what Billy Gunn said about the Brawl for All. "Don't you put Bart in this thing, y'all don't understand..." lmao or something to that effect. On Steve Austin's podcast.

[@melvinrichburg1286]

Vince McMahon had to approve it so what does that say about him?? Brother love

[@pikkon899]

I think Jim Ross should also be held accountable for constantly telling everyone that Dr. Death was going to beat everyone becasue this also hurt Dr. Death's atmosphere backstage. Some of the guys who fought in this have gone on record saying they were tired of hearing Ross say Dr. Death was going to win and when he got knocked out, they all cheered. Ross was talking about prime Dr. Death and I'm sure this got into Dr. Death's head. By the time he had gotten to the WWF, he was well past his prime and was beat up from years of Japanese strong style wrestling. I think both Russo and Ross deserve the criticism they get, if any. Russo for booking it and Ross for alienating and annoying the guys in the locker room. Ross put an unnecessary target on Doc's head. The guys in the locker room were out for blood.

SO much ado about something. Of course, the great man needs you as a funnel. It's ultimately cheaper than having you as a loose cannon. Beware of buyer's remorse. From your WIkipedia page: On February 23, 2019, it was reported that WWE had officially signed Prichard on to join their creative team.[2] In March, it was reported that Prichard would be working as WWE's Senior Vice President.[1] The truth recedes, but your utility increases. A fair trade, in the business.

Dr Death might have won the whole thing if he hadn’t tore his hamstring against Bart Gunn. He still came out for the 3rd round after doing that. They could have used that to portray him as even tougher after his injury healed. So I don’t see why it had to be the end of his career in the WWF for those reasons.

[@Rschr101]

He got knocked on his ass in embarrassing fashion. That was end right there.

[@dachronicalalittlebitofeve6630]

Apart from the whole thing being a bad idea booking the winner against butter bean was thirst part, all that did was make WWE stars look weak in real life, it seriously hurt their credibility. They could have done this so much better... Firstly it should have been a work Secondly should have been just 🥊 Thirdly...... well fk it don’t even need a third

[@evilsWa]

Yeah… We’ve all listened to every single version of the story told as well…hey everybody did you guys know that the worst part was they put him up against butterbean at the end and got knocked out and they didn’t make a star out of it? Because this guy thinks that he’s letting you all know for the first time even though you’re literally listening to a video that is explaining exactly that from a guy who was part of the actual booking of it.

[@tomsnowden6201]

Damn bro 15:00 of commercials to start

[@josephboza7448]

Not surprised that this was a Vince Russo idea. His idea sucked. I dont think Bart was supposed to win this. If this wasn't to build up a challenger to Steve Austin, what the hell was the point then? Then Bart won, I can only imagine a holy shit moment backstage cause as much as Bruce can say it wasnt supposed to be build up moment for Dr Death that is stupid. IF you are a Jr find, Vince wants to get you on TV as soon as possible. When this failed, I can also imagine them trying to pass the buck onto someone cause this failed and made them look stupid for even trying.

[@cryptozoomauler5505]

Apparently it was shoot boxing so nobody was "scripted" to win, and even Bart Gunn asked if he could win, would that be alright? The management said, yeah, if you can do it, do it.

[@evilsWa]

Why do you guys feel the need to like report literal things that are talked about in this video in the comment section as if you just pulled them out miraculously out of thin air and just all my God I had this great epiphany of why this happened…? Seriously I wanna fucking know what is the value of you guys just saying the exact same thing that we are hearing in the video above?

But at the same time you could say look at mma. in MMA Conor McGregor is a fucking badass who would kill Floyd Mayweather but in just boxing, he got his ass beat.

[@creoleDJ]

For one, the risk of injury in this could’ve jeopardized their UFC careers and might have caused them to miss some big UFC PPV events. Second: if they competed and lost to one of the competitors who had no pro or amateur fighting background of any type, that could’ve hurt their drawing power in the UFC. Like a “Shamrock couldn’t even beat Bob Holley in the WWF, why should we pay him big time money at a pay per view to fight Chuck Lidell??” scenario playing out.

I hated the Brawl for All when I watched live at the time. In hindsight, the worst part of the whole thing might have been what they did to Bart Gunn by putting him in with Butterbean. Butterbean couldn’t move well enough to be the actual heavyweight champion but he could hit like a truck. They knew Butterbean would beat the piss out of him, given what we know about concussions now it’s even worse...

[@mrkipling2201]

Nick Poeschek totally agree with you. Horrible idea. The only reason they booked Bart Gunn with butterbean at WM15 was so he could get his arse kicked because the WWF office was pissed because Gunn beat their golden boy Dr Death, Steve Williams. The plan was for Williams to win it and face Austin at WM. Then he tore his hamstring against Gunn. Stupid idea. Absolutely awful.

Sounds like 480lb a mouth breather. What's he look like haha

[@chrishowe4009]

Conrad sounds like JR, but he thinks he knows it all. Typical Mark

[@jacarter79]

I had just graduated high school when this was showing and I didn't pay much attention to it and also remember not knowing it was a shoot. I just didn't believe it. Hearing this and watching the older episodes I can see how real it was. Round 2 of Hawk v Droz and you can see Hawks nose totally broken. This was a pretty rough event.

[@evilsWa]

Was there a point anywhere in this comment? Or did you just mistake this for your dear diary session?

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Over the years I'm actually glad they did it. Yes it ruined a few careers but they were never going to be top guys anyway. Part of wrestlings charm is sometimes they do things that are so bad they become good again

breaking news vince has been the filter for every writer since 1983 but let me tell you something brother, vince got to filter beuteufl spring water while russo wrote. while mantar era was filtering dirt mixed with shit. big difference.

[@stephenlukcasy9047]

I watched the dark side of the ring about this. Bruce is lying about it all. Bart Gunn the guy that won this was promised a main event push as were all the boys who were in bawl for all. Management thought Dr. Death was sure to win that is what J.R. was pushing. And when Bart knocked out Dr. Death management looked like idiots. Bart asked if he beat Dr. Death he was going to get his main event push they laughed at him think Bart was going to lose then Bart won.

[@warwickben]

There’s a difference between having a long term planned out arch for the unknown winner and not following thru and telling them they will get a push and work out the details at that time and wwe writing not comming up with any thing .

[@ZiggyTrippzMusic]

This show was ALOT better without all the sales pitches... Unsubbing

[@TheGreen8astard]

Ziggy Duvo it’s called a commercial. Are you paying to listen? I know I’m not. They gotta get paid somehow to put these together.

[@Super122291]

feelings Are Not Arguments let him walk, he won’t be missed

[@thickerconstrictor9037]

I love when people come on and bitched about ads. they don't get paid to do this. The only money they get is from ads. People love listening to shit like this but then whine and complain about a minute-long add a handful of times through a hour-and-a-half broadcast. there are always going to be ads and commercials and shit like this. Otherwise we don't get cool shit like this. And what kind of fucking bratty piece of shit baby announces that they are unsubscribing. What a bitch

[@switchbladegaming4406]

This is not an airport, no need to announce your departure

[@Ben-nh9xw]

Switchblade gaming hahaha, didn’t go with the tired ole “don’t let the door hit you on the way out”

[@patron7906]

I remember watching this "Brawl for the All" and I could only think how these guys were lucky I wasn't involved in it. I am serious. When I fight, something happens, I just snap. I am more monster than man in that moment, I scream as loud as I can, I close my eyes and I just start windmill throwing punches left, right, left, left again, right, up, down, all around... nobody... and I mean NOBODY can defend against it, too many punches, they hit too damn hard and they come too damn fast. I have never lost a fight. NEVER. And never will. You do NOT mess with me, I can promise you that. You don't.

[@hereticlife2546]

You are a fucking moron. Throw windmill punches at me and I’m gonna pull guard snatch an arm and break it

[@kennybadger]

Lol the op is joking, and it's pretty easy to see.

[@hereticlife2546]

Kenny Matthews it would be easy to think that. Sadly, I can totally see this being a straight legit post. People are fucking weird man.

[@Sensei_IronLungz]

Special education has failed us.

[@timmylong833]

Haha this is the funniest shit I’ve read all day. You are a goofy bastard 😂

[@evilsWa]

I give Prichard and Bischoff MASSIVE respect for sitting down with a loud mouth mark who thinks he knows the “correct” answers to all the “questions” he asks (see reading Meltzers reaction to something and saying “what say you pal?”) Has anyone let Conrad know that just associating with guys from the business does not at all mean you are an insider in the business?

[@HomicideHenry]

I'll be honest, I'm in the minority but I actually enjoyed the Brawl For All, then again I've been both in boxing and wrestling. Besides who hasn't asked, "If these guys really fought each other who really was the real world champion?"

[@MaynardOwns]

Apparently butterbean.

[@Liam_Graer]

Would you call the brawl for all fights real fights though ?? If you ever wondered if Marc mero could fight jbl you wudnt picture em with gloves and amateur head gear doing rounds and takedowns and score cards would you.I always picture the guys fighting in a a bar/hotel lobby/room/corridor /parking area or backstage with the guys holding anybody else back until one was either knocked out or injured beyond competition ie they aren't a knock out fighter so shoot tied em up etc etc the brawl for all was like really bad mma .they way they had built it up I was so dissapointed either have shoot fights that are good or have a ko or stick with rasslin either way it ruined he show as the top rasslers being booked on top wanted no part of it so made everybody look weaker!!!
