The History of Pro-Wrestling at Disney World

[@ParksXcore]

I don’t need a full WWE theme park, but they could turn that old Disneyquest building into a physical WWE hall of fame with some attractions similar to Disney Quest

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

This is a great idea! I don’t know if the draw is there for that location considering the NBA experience failed pretty hard in that exact spot, but i would personally be there opening day if it happened 😂😂 Thank you for watching Andrew 🙏🙏

[@DaveFrostdusk]

OMG. What a good idea.

[@fyrewatermelons]

Scooby Doo gave us the closest vision of a "WWE theme park" within their collab movie with WWE that featured John Cena, Kane, AJ Lee, and Sin Cara.

[@rrsaga]

I was one of the regulars who went to the TNA shows. Made a lot of posters and art for the guys, fun fact. AJ styles literally stopped me for my poster.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

That’s amazing! i’m so jealous! Maybe one day they’ll make their way back to Orlando, it seems like their product has been picking up a little bit the past few years 😅

[@adamchalkley956]

I went there in 2008 to a taping of Impact. There I noticed two men, one large both tall and heavy(wore a hat and basketball jersey) and a smaller guy who would always be shouting and chanting while queuing outside the impact zone. I would later see these two on tv multiple times when watching impact. Do you know them? How are they? And do they still attend TNA events now outside of Universal?

[@BenGatto-k4e]

YES! Lifelong Disney and wrestling fan. This video was fantastic and so fascinating

WWF/E needs a HOF/museum. All the wrestling artifacts that they have in their warehouse. That would make for one heck of a museum.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you so much!! More obscurities on the way! 😆🙌

[@dean4793]

Man, I didn't realise my 2 passions ran so deep! This was so interesting, thank you! I myself watched a taping of TNA at Universal back in 2012. I also visited the Niagara Falls WWE store after WrestleMania 23 in 2007. I didn't even know the store existed until I was looking at the little pamphlets they had in the hotel and saw the store. The piledriver was unfortunately closed for the winter but the store was super cool and had the same 'hand in concrete' thing going on, on the outside of the store! Walked out with a kids size WWE Championship!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

That’s awesome! I did not make it to Niagara Falls until 2013 so I wasn’t able to see the store 😭 Thank you so much for watching 🙏

I KNEW I wasn't just seeing things! I remember seeing the WCW rotating platform as a kid one time but none of my friends could remember and thought I was making stuff up but this video confirmed it just wasn't a figment of my imagination! Thank you so much!

[@jeremiahchapman]

At one time there was a rumor that the WWE was going to take over the NBA Restaurant at CityWalk to be a themed restaurant and hold the Hall of Fame. I think having a theme experience like this would be better than a theme park. CityWalk or Disney Springs would be a great home for it.

[@djsinnema]

Unfortunately that set up wound up in Saudi fucking Arabia. The international shows last year in Europe and Australia had absolutely amazing crowds, with the exception of crown jewel and king of the ring. All the Saudi shows are duds, not just in the quality of the matches but the absolute lack of any atmosphere that is obvious just watching it

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Citywalk would have been a great spot! There’s actually some really strange/interesting restaurant pitches that were initially supposed to be part of the plans for CityWalk! Maybe off to cover a video on that in the future 👀 Thank you so much for watching 🙏

[@alej8902]

Hi Ryan! We remember when we met you in person over at Epcot and you mentioned us that you had this video in mind, we are so happy you chose this one as your first 2025 video 👍🏻 That would be awesome for the wrestling fans to have a park dedicated to that in Orlando 😃

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Of course!! Yall are the first ones to give me a positive response for the idea and was a major reason i finally got around to it. Thank you so much for always watching and making me do this one. I had a blast 😆🙏

[@jordanross2431]

I went to 3 TNA tapings including the one with a Foley and Ric Flair brawl. I remember them being long tho - one of them we were one of the last there. Not related, but on our flight from Manchester to Orlando in 22 I was sat next to Billy Gunn! Decent guy, kept to himself

[@lindseyrtews3278]

Love seeing you live your dreams! My husband really enjoyed this one. His wrestling themed ride gimmick is the Pile Driver ride as The Rock Bottom or The Stunner!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Amazing ideas! Thank y’all so much for watching 🙏

[@AndyKnudsen]

Love the video, I'm a fan of both Disney Theme Parks and Wrestling. Even so I can't imagine going to a wrestling themed park.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Hahaha I can tell that that is the consensus from the comments and i couldn’t agree more 😂😂 Thank you so much for watching 🙏

This is the greatest KZbin video of all time. You have combined my 2 favorite subjects. Thank you.

You are a fellow fan of great taste! 🙌 Thank you so much for checking out the video 🙏

It’s Saturday morning and watching this video is the highlight of my weekend. I popped so many times. Love the images and the wrestling lingo. You went over after making this video.

[@rileyholmes1344]

As someone who loves WDW and someone who loves pro wrestling, thank you so much. I loved this

[@aaylarose8309]

The wiping of feet on hulk hogans handprints was a magical touch 🩷

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Oops.. didn’t realize i left that shot in there. Oh well 🤷‍♂️😂

[@SunshineStateCoasters]

I now purposely want to go back to Hollywood Studios to give the Hulkster the Middle Finger!

[@Anynom]

The 1993 Disney tapings were a mess as WCW decided to film three MONTHS of TV shows in one weekend. They gave away scores of storylines, who'd win belts, etc, shattered the illusion for fans. And issues like guys legit injured or leaving the company to mess it up more.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

I read so much about the hassle it had become, but due to the severe lack of footage/photos from the tapings, it was kind of hard to cover a lot of that 😂😂 but… it’s clear they nailed down the format 20 years later with TNA.. sorta 😂 thank you so much for watching 🙏

[@GreatMewtwo]

@@Anynom I remember watching another video about the Disney tapings and that's how I learned about how hectic their shooting schedule was. Shooting 12 weeks of content in that little bit of time in front of a live audience threatened kayfabe and opened up a lot of spoilers. They underestimated those who had access to a phone or to the Internet in some way.

[@WatchalongWrestling]

Such a great job with this video! I now need to go back & watch Thunder in Paradise now.

[@simplysoniasworld]

YES. I went to several WCW and TNA tapings. It was such a dream to go on vacation to Orlando and get to watch live wrestling too.

[@mikefrombuffalo]

I haven’t watched wrestling in years (stay up to date via social media) but I would LOVE to see representation in the theme parks! Also those RSVLTS shirts are so sick

[@MouseSecrets]

I consider myself a huge Disney fan and visited many times during those years and had no idea wrestling was a regular occurring thing at Disney, great video!

[@JSI82]

Brilliant work. I thoroughly enjoyed this. The Nitros in the parks just felt very different and special. Fond memories.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

@@JSI82 thank you so much for checking out the video! 🙏

[@mickeymultiverse]

Whatcha gonna do, brother, when the history of pro wrestling in Disney World runs wild on you?! Let me tell ya somethin’, Ryan-your video was too sweet! I was hooked from start to finish, dude. The way you laid out the story with all the drama and the magic? It was like a tag-team match between nostalgia and knowledge, and you came out on top like a true champ, brother. Keep body-slamming those stories and dropping those elbow drops of history on us, because the Hulkamaniacs are lovin’ it, brother! I remember meeting you in Epcot about a year ago during one of the festivals. We talked about this idea you had for a video about this history of wrestling at Disney World. I was really looking forward to it and was hoping you hadn’t forgotten about it. It fills my heart with joy to see you made it. You did the history of wrestling at Disney World justice!

[@mikegeiler2347]

This video earned yourself a like and subscribe. This is the type of content I’ve been dying for. This is a weird little caveat in both wrestling and theme parks, but there really isn’t a lot of information like this compiled about it. Thank you! PS - The mideon/Mankind impression segments were filmed at universal as a reference to Mick Foleys real life love for theme parks.

[@DoubleCritFail]

Oh man, I was at so many of the WCW Worldwide tapings in the mid 90s. Somewhere out there are a few shows of WCW with a 10 year old me in the audience. Thanks for bringing back great memories.... It's crazy that as a huge Disney World fan and WCW fan, I never knew the Nitro intro was filmed on the Streets of America... I now can never unsee it.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

So jealous you grew up going to those shows!! Would love to have been myself! Also, happy that you now have the ultimate “fun fact” for next time you happen to be at the parks in the future 😆 Thank you so much for watching🙏

[@Stuttsy]

Thanks so much for this video and especially for noting the locations of where the WCW shows taped in the 90's. I'm a lifelong wrestling fan but only became a theme park afficionado after I met my wife in 2003 and married into a Disney family. I've always wondered where precisely the soundstages WCW taped at were located, so this was very informative!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

That’s great to hear! Tons of other stuff filmed in those Toy Story soundstages as well (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Wheel of Fortune, Ernest Saves Christmas 😆) Thank you so much for watching 🙏

[@justinbebsmus121]

Undertaker Dark Ride is a MUST! - A magic Stage show entitled: "You Can't See Me" - "Here Comes The FLAME" A Rock inspired Bar and Grill with the tag line "Smell What The Rock Is Cookin'" - and an ECW EXTREME theme'd Roller Coaster.

[@monique5141]

Yooo!! I saw you filming at the entrance of Galaxy’s Edge. I would’ve never guessed you were talking about wrestling. 😂 Love it. Excellent video!!

[@simplyme5407]

I was there when Hulk signed in the Backlot of June 94, his daughter Brooke was dressed as Alice in Wonderland. That was 30 years ago as 2 months later I gave birth to my son. They put on quite the fun show signing Hulk back to WCW. (Hubby was a big fan).It was very exciting to see!!

[@PromiseHope]

This was great editing and tons a fun dude 🤘and yes I made it to the end

[@eastonrowe]

YES! Scorpion Death Drop and Stinger Splash both already sounds like perfect wrestling theme park rides!

[@50five4life]

This was excellent! Great work!

[@DarMar106]

Thank you so much for this! The WCW/Disney connection has always fascinated me and not about h people have done research on it. Also the IWF stuff explains why wrestler Damien Demento was part of Fright Nites. He was in the “Thunderdome” show

[@ericzinck714]

I managed the Public Enemy. Working with WCW from 1995 to 2001. WCW had taping at MGM each 3 months for a 2 week period. Plus, some of the Saturday shows happened at MGM and Universal Studios. but most happened around the Atlanta market for shows. Like Macon, Gainesville, Georgia, and in South Carolina and Alabama also. Great video.

[@theboringkaren]

Knowing I watched those Nitro eps but had zero clue they were taped at Hollywood Studios is blowing my mind. I’m so happy you finally got this video out! It’s an absolute treat. What wouldn’t be a treat is a wrestling theme park. 🙅‍♀️🤣

[@juicefvde]

My English class in 10th grade had an assignment on creating a theme park, my park was WWE. I had 2 main rides, the DX chop was one ride (seats on either hands and moving up and down), the other was the Chain Gang spinner (Cena’s chain gang spinner that had multiple sections just going in every direction). A kid can dream…. I did ace that assignment though

[@chaosafoot]

yes ❤ I think the best name for a wrestling themed ride would be the ‘attitude adjustment’

[@parksandprotein]

Awesome video!! I’ll never forget going to MGM to see WCW with my dad all those years ago. The Impact Zone has a place in my heart as well. Spent a lot of time there as a teenager and performed in soundstage 21 as well. Every time I’m in the queue at HHN I always say the same thing 🤣 “I used to wrestle here”. My friends aren’t impressed any more

[@toomuchgoodstuffsocal8687]

NAH on the wrestling theme park, but for someone who grew up a big wcw fan. It was quite interesting to know where they taped most of there b and c shows.

[@olivierroy5540]

Mick Foley is well known for being a big theme park fan. The segment was part of a storyline at the time where Triple H “created” those segments in order to mock Mick Foley as they were feuding at the time. There was a series of those vignettes where a fake Mankind who was played by Dennis Knight ( aka Mideon and Phineas Godwin) kept basically embarrassing himself in various situations.

[@pirajacinto4]

This was REALLY fun to learn! Especially about the WWE theme park and also, the XWF?? I've been a wrestling fan all my life and I NEVER knew about this! Especially with so many big names, you'd think it'll get pointed out more!

[@aaronvurgason8547]

Thank you for making this. I’ve tried doing brief. Independent research on some of it and came up empty-handed.

[@bebopblue]

I remember seeing another show that was filmed in Disney World that wasn't Disney. MTV's Sandblast, a competitive beach theme game show during the early 90s filmed at Fort Wilderness. At the time I was like around 9, and I can't recall if they were filming, but you could get a good look at the set that was on Clementine Beach when taking a ferry to Magic Kingdom. The show seems pretty forgotten, as there isn't much footage of it I could find. It also featured Kevin James.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

sounds super interesting to me! I’ll have to try to find some footage of it! I love cheesy reality shows and Disney (obviously) Thank you so much for watching 🙏

[@Jarvel5]

Dude, imagine a wrestling theme park! So many opportunities. A drop tower themed after Randy Orton where you get RKOed at the top. OR a Coaster themed to Stone Cold where the bottle breaks at the top before you go plummeting down. Okay, last one...A character dining experience where you get to see actors reinact the infamous Stone Cold Booker T supermarket showdown. THIS STUFF WRITES ITSELF. I also considered a Rock's kitchen where you can smell what the Rock is cookin...and try one of those pies he was always talking about 😅 ....As always, great video 😁

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

OH MY GOD. We absolutely need a Stone Cold / Booker T Grocery store restaurant 😂😂 This is amazing! Thank you so much man, you’re the best 😆😆

[@cypher515]

May 15, 2005. My sister, my then brother in law and I saw TNA Hard Justice at Universal Studios. Because I worked at SeaWorld Orlando I got in for free and we had a normal theme park experience before the show with only two exceptions: we met Jimmy Hart out in the park, and we saw Shark Boy and his tag partner "harassing the shark" by Jaws The Ride for a segment. And TNA minority owner Jeff Jarrett and TNA head writer Vince Russo were there too. The show was pretty good too in my opinion, with AJ Styles beating Jarrett for the NWA Championship with Tito Ortiz as the guest referee.

[@MuckyPup115]

This was great. I didn’t expect you to be a wrestling fan considering the name of the channel. Well done, sir. Edit: NO.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

[@cjd22]

There was technically another promotion that was taped at Universal called All Wheels Wrestling. However, it was really TNA production as part pf a collaboration with the Speed Channel to create a motorsports-themed wrestling show. It lasted for just an unaired pilot that can be found on Dailymotion. Also, a dark ride that follows the story of a falls count anywhere match would be an interesting wrestling ride.

I remember when I went on holiday to Orlando mid/late April 2011 from the UK with Thomas Cook (holiday operator). Thomas cook had a deal/partnership where for $50 you got to go see TNA impact & $20/25 off voucher for NASCAR Cafe that was at city walk at the time with so much going to charity. The taping was on 02/05/2011 (being shown 05/05/2011). We were told met up at the NASCAR cafe to then walk straight into the sound stage (jumping the queue) and all sat together on the bleachers behind the ring in view of the cameras. We could go down to the floor with the hardcore fans but I chose to stay for better view. Also was the day Osama bin laden was declared dead so memorable.
