When security tried to confiscate it they began playing keep away by passing it up and down the stands. That's what everyone was jeering at.

[@johnathanbarnes8639]

Lost in Unforgiven 1999 was the fact that there were two misogyny angles run side-by-side, where we had Jeff Jarrett, who's gimmick was that he openly berated and assaulted women.. and men didn't stand up to him about that. Meanwhile, Chaz was dealing with a storyline where he supposedly was the one who domestically abused Marianna and everyone looked at him as the lowest form of life (and ultimately was revealed to be innocent), and people made sure to make his life a living hell.

Why does you tube have the bell icon, if it doesn't work for shit?

[@hollywoodhiggins1576]

Seeing chyna smiling broke my heart! She was so happy at one point, I loved her character so much! She needed help towards the end of her life! Will never forget you Chyna!!!!!! Rip

[@Duk3Silv3r]

That still shot of Debra swinging that guitar towards Jarrett... I remember seeing it on on tv and the flashbulbs from the cameras were amazing.

[@JaxDagger]

I've been following you a long time and it amazes me you still haven't reached that million sub mark yet, where all my old school wrestling fans at?! get this man where he belongs. Keep it up dude, it's appreciated that you even go back to an era of wrestling where you weren't a fan at the time and still do the research, sometimes mentioning things I forget myself. I give this channel an B+ Because if I give it a perfect score there's nowhere to go but down, and noone wants that haha.

[@jasonnovick631]

2:20 - should've asked Mankind, Big Show, Test, and Shamrock for help. Too bad they'd disbanded by this point.

[@mrkipling2201]

I’m addicted to these classic PPV reviews!! Thursday can’t come around soon enough!!

[@TheNaturalPatHarris]

Wrestlemania 10 with the Greatest opening contest ever in WWF

[@hakeemfullerton8645]

14:20-14:25 Actually the good housekeeping match took place at No Mercy 1999

[@young321bookie]

You tell him, and he referred to D-lo Browns signature move as a power-bomb when it was called a sky-high. :P

[@kevinhudson9190]

I would have loved to see the british bulldog win the main event

[@j.3o21]

Love ya content bruh. Keep it up 👍 As my first PPV was Survivor Series '96, the memories your channel gives me is just something special.

[@badbooking3221]

13:07 When I think of that soundbyte, I think of that glorious video of Jim Ross doing commentary on Thomas the Tank Engine.

[@Djarra]

The way to make the cage in the cell work is replace the hounds with lumberjacks. Also the whole head of security angle is one that Russo would take with him when Doug Dillenger had a few matches. in WCW (although he had been a wrestler before becoming kayfabe head of security years before)

[@IanNewYashaTheFinalAct]

Tag Team match between *Stevie Richards & Charlie Haas,* where their whole gimmick is _impersonating other gimmicks_ vs. _The Guards of Jericho_ *Mr. Hughes & Ralphus*

[@kingdevilman]

Love these classic reviews.

[@DamiaoWP]

Why do I love Bryan Zane so much? But yeah, as a pro wrestling trainee I love to see you vídeos to learn new stuff! Thank you so much!

[@TravJam317]

The commentary by Mick Foley for the Kennel From Hell match that you find on his DVD is great. It makes the match almost worth watching. Also, I was live for this PPV and I can tell you that we couldn't see shit going on in this match due to the double cages, which should explain the silence from the crowd. I remember reading a review shitting on the crowd for not reacting when Head was reintroduced, but we didn't react because WE COULDN'T SEE IT!

[@thomasjenkins7506]

we need more D-Lo brown.

[@sidbeckett5655]

Stevie Richards as Dude Love was my create a wrestler on Wrestlemania 2000, took him all the way to the championship. It didn't hurt that the Stevie Kick finisher had Shawn Michael's tier damage points.

[@Kallabronn]

This is another great episode, Brian. Also, a good companion piece to the Attitude Era Podcast episode of the same name.

[@jerransperarman9411]

Good review

[@atenchifan]

I never understood why Luna Vachon was never given a run even a brief run with the women's title? She could have won it here temporarily!

[@universe-ie2mk]

hey brian, ima big fan of your channel. on my timeline years back was your ultimate warrior in wcw video, it was so hilarious and it got you over with me. i have watched almost all of every video on the channel. keep up the good work!!

[@larryovah5437]

Love the channel Brian, keep up the awesome job man.

[@dix1717]

Why are they taking the Pedigree like that??? Bulldog at 33:01 and Rocky at 33:42. 🤔🤔🤔 They are blocking the impact with their knees.

[@CanthusOfCandE]

Yeah, they are stealing Kane's signature spot. no one takes a knee as well as him.

[@Ulikecookies]

@@CanthusOfCandE kane taking an RKO is incredible.

[@CanthusOfCandE]

@@Ulikecookies ever seen kane sitting on a chair? He even takes that knee first...happy to say I have never seen him try to use a toilet.

[@anjake01]

The Good Housekeeping Match was at No Mercy

[@Vandalia1998]

Unforgiven 1999 was the first PPV I could of seen when I first started watching WWE

[@christianouellette1006]

Lawler laughing at Moolah and Mae is the best haha

[@migbarr3806]

Would that make him....Ghost Pepper???

[@keeganschneider_yt]

Val Venis with the laziest kickout of all time, As he just claps his hands.

[@bloodrunsclear]

Noah Antwiler: What the first thing you think (the dogs) are going to do? Botchamania Audience: Take a dump. Noah Antwiler: What's the second thing you think they're going to do?

[@mattthomas1442]

My favorite Lawler and JR quote of the show. King: "When Moolah and Mae were out here you forgot to mention where they played football at" JR: "Real funny, I know you didn't think of that one yourself so which one of the guys in the back fed you that line" It's funny cause if you listen to Prichard's podcast he would talk about how Vince used to hate how JR would mention guys athletic background's cause to him it took away the mystique of the superstar(like talking about Diesel playing college basketball or when they were the Acolytes character Bradshaw/Farooq playing college football ) so you just know that either Bruce or Vince fed that line to Lawler and were having a laugh about it.
