WrestleMania 8 *Full Episode* Something To Wrestle with Bruce Prichard

[@eddy5097]

I always felt this WrestleMania is a bit underrated I enjoyed it as a kid so much

[@karaitejudaism8618]

I don't care what anybody says WrestleMania 8 was one of the greatest memories of my childhood... THE WARRIOR POP WAS THE BIGGEST IN HISTORY

[@DarkPark]

Anyone getting into the business should watch Hart vs Piper. The story they told in that match was excellent.

[@Bubba__Sawyer]

No wrestling matches tell stories like that these days though. Wrestling is just way too different now.

[@louio]

They'll end up doing intergender matches with small women & being half naked in bingo halls 😂

[@sonofapreacherman7328]

Bret vs Piper amazing great story telling Flair vs savage amazing great story telling Taker vs Jake good Warrior- big pop Gorilla and Bobby stole the show!!!!

[@thekingofkingsrp]

Bobby here and rumble with that flair commentary, good lord.

[@Skazellino]

Shawn Michaels great first singles WM debut.

[@roryjones6040]

"Where did those 10 Lumpy Indians go??" Classic Bobby 😂

[@freshstartpainting]

@@thekingofkingsrp exactly! I use to watch this show and the rumble as a kid over and over almost solely due to the commentary of those two guys. I still use some of the one liners and quote Bobby Heenan from those shows. During the piper hart match he says something about the fighting styles between the street fighter piper and the technician hart…then asked about how would you take it to piper …what would you do??….he says something to the effect of I’d use my wrestling, I’d use my technical ability to wear piper down ….and if that doesn’t work I’d Waffle him out back with a tire iron!!! I’d get it one way or another..it doesn’t matter as long as you get it.

Potential WM 8 event Hulk vs flair Jake vs Savage in a cage Sid vs undertaker Bret vs Piper Disasters vs LOD Shawn vs Marty

[@Devon-g3u]

Vince could never pull anything like that off he’s not a good booker

[@dangxdc8348]

Sid vs Savage for Number One Contender... Ultimate Warrior shows up ... complete indecisive clusterfuck...

[@jayblocks1]

If Sid fought Taker back then. Would the streak have ended before it started?

[@Devon-g3u]

@@jayblocks1 they did wrestle all the time in 92 it’s on the wwe peacock in the best of home video section and and plus do you not know they main event wrestlemania 13 and did a Saturday nights main event

[@dangxdc8348]

@@jayblocks1 Why is Sid fighting Undertaker when Undertaker tells Jake "NOT YOUR SIDE" with no big pay off at VIII ??? Sid Justice vs Macho Man for number one contender. Papa Shango hexes Elizabeth into bizarre behavior leaving Macho Man bewildered, scared. A bewitched Liz. Interesting turn considering most wanted to see Liz beat the shit out of Macho Man. All his HEY LIZ; STAND "THERE" AND NOT A WORD !!!

[@philburt781]

Macho vs flair is one of the best wm matches of all time! And bret vs piper.

[@1000bip]

When I was a kid I loved Tito Santana! I still do! Arriba!

[@Don-er4uk]

Loved Wrestlemania 8! It was actually my first Wrestlemania I ever watched.

[@jblassio]

Close to my heart! First Wrestlemania I ever watched!

[@Daniel-es9dq]

I liked this one. Great performances by piper and Randy.

[@redeeminggc]

My favorite Wrestlemania. It’s about time!!!! Thank you Conrad and Bruce!!!

[@ROSTAFA]

Really? The Papa Shongo Votched Mania?

[@redeeminggc]

@@ROSTAFA that doesn’t matter to me. What I loved was the Hogan versus Sid match. At that time I had always wanted to see those two go one on one. Also, the Flair “She was mine before she was yours“ angle was awesome. It was natural. Playboy Flair against extremely protective and jealous Macho Man. It was something that WWE had never done before.

[@redeeminggc]

Not to mention the debuts of both Lex Luger and Paul Ellering

[@ROSTAFA]

@@redeeminggc always preferred the Flair & Savage & Piper & Bret matches over the main event. For me it just fell flat. The build up for the main event was good, but the final result just wasn't there.

[@redeeminggc]

@@ROSTAFA yeah, I wasn’t a fan of the ending, but I was just so excited that they were actually going to go one-on-one. Also, I was glad that Sid didn’t lose to that leg drop. I had wanted to see this matchup since Sid was in WCW. I was disappointed in the Flair-Savage ending. I wanted Flair to have a long title reign. Not like the ones he had in the NWA, but possibly to Summer Slam. I guess it’s my favorite, not for how the matches played out, but for the matches were on paper. Although I have to admit, this one upcoming may surpass this one in my mind

[@memohdfromwwe_]

This Mania felt short compared to III - VII as far as hours go. It was the beginning of the end of the Golden WWF Era.

[@henrikschmidt3964]

I totally agree with Bruce regarding homophobia. And I really respect his acknowledgement of his earlier ignorance. At age 12-14 I was a little racist POS. Fortunately, I learned too.

[@newhere2419]

im amazed Conrad doesn't get the whole thing about the tombstone on the floor. There's ways a guy can get beat and it not hurt their character.

[@michaeljohnson5365]

This was the last event in the UK where people had to have Sky Movies Plus! after that from Summerslam 1992 onwards all main events where on the Sky Sports channels

[@AmericanGypsy206]

This wrestlemania should get talked about more. It was really good. The best match on the card was Bret hart vs Piper, I remember seeing this on viewers choice, pay-per-view way back in 1992 at my grandparents house I was like probably seven years old when me and my cousins ordered this event

[@jackfrost1467]

Been waiting for this one

[@mg9138]

Pat was fucking guilty as fuck.

[@DJIronMike1981]

Those Hogan vs Flair house show matches had little to no promotion. I'll never forget going to my Dad's house over the weekend and coming home to my younger brother telling me he saw Hogan vs Flair on MSG. I swore he was lying to mess with me. It wasn't until months later when I read about it in the PWI ring reports. I think Vince wanted to test Flair's star power on it's own without any story or promo.

[@shadowman2192]

6:01 We’re gonna build towards “Randy Savage and Macho?” So is Randy gonna wrestle himself?

[@calummacdougall8400]

Loved mania 8 for me bret vs roddy was excellent.

[@SC-qd1nq]

Bruce knew.

[@JarodJoseph]

Dork.

[@amanrob]

I always consider this event the end of the golden era

[@JarodJoseph]

If you compare it to the esthetic, tone and roster of Wrestlemania 9, it definitely was!

[@deepblue8143]

Most definitely. My favorite era of all time too.

[@dingdong7610]

Well, that, and Vince getting charged in late 1991 with steroid distribution

[@louio]

Yup! The end of an Era......

[@mojo-eq4ln]

To me it was 84-90

[@lordbaethan]

Marty jumped through the window to escape Shawn

[@thechosen1525]

All right we need to know did Bruce partake in Vince & John's shenanigans? 🤔

[@davidpriolo434]

More like shitnanigans am I right

[@nbaldwin45]

My biggest problem with Warrior was that even after he dropped over 50lbs, he carried on wrestling EXAXTLY the way he did before. It was hilarious seeing him overpower Papa Shango or Kamala who were twice his size but Warrior wasn’t smart enough or dedicated enough to change up his style.

[@FlairVSSavage]

Really my biggest problem with the warrior is his promos were terrible and all sounded the same lol he never could wrestle and had no concept of subtle story telling

[@CHICANO1975]

I remember some folks saying that the "First warrior died, and that the second one was Kerry Von Erich in facepaint. " In terms of Hogan vs Flair, the sizzle wasn't there for the possible showdown because the WWE FAILED to promote it like a big deal. I also think sometimes Vince sabotages possible main event showdowns because either one or both participants in the match weren't created by Vince so he does the minimum to promote it and gain interest.

[@nicholaswoodall9820]

i was 15 at this time this was the first wrestlemania i ever bought on pay perview

[@pandaloon6083]

Viewed this at a neighbor's home with her extended family. She and family were marking out big time when Randy was beating on Flair. If you mess with Elizabeth then you get heat.

[@TFRANCHISETHERILLA]

I was 10 years old when this went down. I’m from Seattle and Ric Flair had the name power. WCW was on TV in LA and New York and when Flair got to WWF especially with the big gold belt - even at 10 years old I wanted Hogan Flair at WrestleMania 8. I think the 2 reasons it didn’t happen was that 1) their styles don’t equal a good match, and 2) Hogan was leaving after Mania. They weren’t gonna have Flair win as Hogan leaves. Just my opinion. Also this was the first WrestleMania I ever saw live on PPV and it was AMAZING. Especially Piper vs Bret. Savage vs Flair AND Warriors run in at the end. THATS how you end a Manoa.

[@briansimerl4014]

Roddy Piper had an alternate view of Pat Patterson as a human being.

[@asawhitemanidjustliketosay]

When I tell people Savage vs Flair is my all time favorite match they look at me like I’m crazy

[@ROSTAFA]

@somethingtowrestlewithbruceprichard U & Bruce need to review Backlash 2000. I know U did it with JR, but wanna hear comments from Bruce.

[@burnz0021]

Such an all over the place card

[@vxrdrummer]

Warrior not training as much? Not taking steroids probably helped! The playground rumours for it being a new Warrior were crazy. I'll never forget the talk of that at school. I also remember an article my dad showed me in a Sunday magazine in the UK where they talked about/interviewed the Warrior. I'll never forget it said he lived in a cabin in the woods and ate 24 baked potatoes for breakfast each day!

[@Difrentstyles]

[@kingoffarts8352]

I'm pretty sure that wasn't a drug raid in st. Louis. It was a escaped criminal that broke out days before. Apparently he was convinced of satatory rape,and running a illegal possession of a weapon. As I heard it one of his victims thought she spotted him in the parking lot of the arena and she went to a pay phone and called the cops. I'm not sure what the end result was. I think they found him a few days later.

[@MarioLabot]

Since there are Episodes on This Tuesday in Texas, Royal Rumble 1992, and WrestleMania VIII, what’s left in during Bruce’s first exile?

[@christerry1611]

Back before the internet when things weren't spoiled and most things were a genuine surprise

[@anthonymartin9923]

That pop was Huge!!!

[@TomLeach-dd8cl]

I like the way they skated around the ring boy scandal. Vince mcmahon actually paid off one of the teenagers making claims and gave him his job back for a time. I believe there is some truth to the accusations, there's no smoke without fire, and with recent accusations against vince it doesn't seem so far fected now does it.

[@KevinJL]

You have to suspect a lot of unscrupulous things happened back then.

My 1st wrestlemania watching live as a kid …. Hart v Piper was a masterclass Flair was awesome but the match got on my nerves coz of all the hopping around savage was doing .. it was tedious Sid was awesome but again the match was poor … I wanted Sid to end Pukamania

[@michaeljohnson5365]

FACT around 47,500 tickets where sold for this and 20,000 free tickets where given away for free

[@karaitejudaism8618]

All they had to do was really highlight put flares career I don't know if they had access to his WCW and AWA stuff ... Probably not but they would have done that they would have been a HUGE angle with HOGAN

[@roryjones6040]

Sid could have a 5 star match with Kurt Angle and Dave Meltzer would shit on it. He never had a good word to say about him!!!!!

[@michaelnemeth5242]

Exactly. People can say what they want about Sid ( my favorite wrestler ), but he wrestled like a big man should. I guarantee Sid gave Hogan a better match that the great kali would have. It was 3 big power houses wrestling like the bigger men they are. I guess people expected them to wrestle like Bret and Perfect lol.

[@TakeNoteOfThat]

5-star Kurt Angle matches are invisible to Meltzer

[@goobah6072]

Has Bruce ever went in depth on R-Truth?

[@pandaloon6083]

WM 7 -- Randy/Liz weren't in main event in favor of forgettable Hogan/Slaughter. WM 8 -- Randy/Flair weren't in main event in favor of dysfunctional Hogan/Justice. "Retirement" matches. Championship matches. In both instances Vince chose Hogan over Randy. In both instances he made the wrong choice.

[@CJWhite-bg3vl]

Saw Flair/ Hogan in Pittsburgh, I think Flair won by countout. Flair acts like he won the belt but Hogan must pose.

[@beakahd590]

We should have had flair v hogan. Hogan was never going to put him over when he was leaving. Savage would have got a good match out of Sid.

[@jimmygialelis5708]

WWF put themselves in an awkward position with Flair coming into the company. It was difficult to establish him as Ric Flair without acknowledging his past and therefore competition.

[@louio]

You didn't need too, it's Ric Flair! But they definitely put themselves in an "awkward position" by not putting Hogan vs Flair as the Main Event that year.

[@cpesq.5884]

Papa shangooooooo

[@isaacshaver6218]

I could see Bruce chit stress!

[@OliverAndDarin]

Going to have to throw a monkey wrench in there. In 1991, kids at my school were talking that Warrior was a different Warrior than the one previous, therefore this was not when the rumor started.

Lol who tf don't know who ric flair was in them days 😂😂😂

[@jonaustin1907]

How do you not do flair hogan here. Smh

[@AmericanGypsy206]

And a lot of people probably didn’t notice this, but Bret Hart vs Roddy Piper, paved for the way for Bret Hart vs Steve Austin at wrestlemania 13 five years later,there was a lot of similarities that parallel that submission match and the 1996 survivor series match vs Austin such as the blood, the ring, the bell, and the way, Bret pinned piper is the same way he pinned Austin at the survivor series, 1996 and when Roddy Piper was contemplating about hitting Bret with the ring bell and at WM13 Bret hit Austin with the ring bell A lot of parallels in this wrestlemania 8 that you would see in future Bret Hart matches I did the research and I took my time to review these matches The parallels are there

Too bad Jake the Snake was too selfish to put over a brother.

[@VisualTedium]

So every wrestler than was propositioned by Pat is engaging is a coordinated conspiracy to tarnish him because he was gay?

[@darensparks]

Of course not, Bruce is just being his typical WWF/ WWE shill who always defends Vince and his minions including that creep F.....a.........g Patterson.

[@oogieboogie5678]

Unfortunately we've all heard Bruce lie too much already lmfao 😂 he's the quickest to lie on behalf of the company. Heard him defend Vince before for some of his older allegations and we've all seen how well that aged. There's nothing saying it for sure happened with Pat but nothing says he didn't do it either. Apparently wwf/wwe was or is full of sexual deviants so hard sell getting ppl to believe any of this 😂😂
