WWE Survivor Series 1990 - OSW Review #20

[@jacques2368]

Ted DiBiase introduced The Undertaker, Steve Austin, and best of all Virgil.

[@glennwelsh9784]

He really opened the door for the legends, eh? 😄

[@marz-95]

If you're ever at an autograph show where Virgil is appearing, do not make eye contact with him.

Dibiase had the money, Undertaker took souls and Virgil takes your money.

[@SuperDevolution]

The biggest draw of all time. And Steve Austin and The Undertaker aren't bad, either.

[@DanVillainFilms]

So here we are. 30 years ago, the greatest character in wrestling debuted. Now... he retires. He will be missed. Thank you, Gobbledygooker.

[@OSW]

I'm only 5 years late seeing this but if I can remember I'll put it in a future ep! hilarious!

[@JohnnyPhesto]

In regards to the Monsoon tombstone comment, it would seem that was actually the name of the move before Taker started using it. I recently watched a match from the early 70s, Andre the Giant used it and the commentator yelled "TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!!"

[@ChaosTheory9]

JohnnyPhesto plus back in that day the commentators knew the names of debuting wrestler’s finishers right from the start. They would say “and he calls that move....the Tombstone!” Or something like that for example

[@Gravydog316]

piledriver is when the guy getting is facing out; tombstone is when the guy getting it is facing in, with his face in your junk

[@blklanternsmith126]

So fucking TRUE... Great comment.

[@rustykuntz94]

Muraco would do that a lot too and they would usually call it “the inverted pile driver”

[@chrisbee9643]

it a reverse kneeling Piledriver ;)

[@Polishjazzman]

In regard to Gorilla knowing Taker's finish was a tombstone... The move was around before him, and even called a tombstone piledriver it was used by Don Muraco in the early 80s.

[@rustykuntz94]

Polishjazzman That’s right, Muraco used that occasionally, also Davey Boy Smith too.

[@MyAbridged]

Right, he received the finisher of a Tombstone Piledriver because of it's name, rather than it being named because of his gimmick. Pretty sure Andre used it too.

[@DaUsualSuspact]

@@MyAbridged I would not be surprised if Andre invented it.

[@FreneticZetetic]

Correct!

[@KittenRaptor]

@@FreneticZetetic It probably predates André but he certainly used it, as its a great move for extremely tall wrestlers, although ironically the Big Show didn't use it, probably because of his concurrency on the card with Taker. Fit Finlay used it before the Undertaker I believe, and Dynamite Kid used it in Japan in the 80s. Correct me if I'm wrong of course. I believe it is generally considered less safe than a sit-down piledrive because the opponent's head is not secured between the performing wrestler's thighs and the grip strength required to keep them from slipping down to where their head is in danger. Just look at the one Taker delivers to Koko, he tucks his head into Mark's groin to avoid being spiked.

[@josephsanti6219]

Ironic that The Undertaker is the one gimmick where you can't be caught corpsing.

[@Xehanort10]

Paul Bearer kept trying to make him laugh though.

[@KyleKey]

SEND FOR THE MAN

[@ColeVecsion]

Austin or Foley made him corpse on a house show or something back in the attitude era, had to hide his face under his long hair

[@RobertHall85]

[@BlackStarGabusGaben]

If anyone else tried the Undertaker gimmick, it would have failed. No question, no arguments, Mark Calaway is the reason the gimmick worked. That said, Paul Bearer also deserves a lot of credit to, as he was perfect as the manager and helped get the act even more over.

[@MS-it9vv]

Arguments: anyone who was big, talented in the ring, committed to their work, and had the personality of a cadaver could have pulled off the role. The Undertaker gimmick succeeded because of overt AND subconscious association of the character with our own mortality.

[@KQwest98]

Paul Bearer made the character

[@jerryjanik480]

Joking about the Terry Taylor sorry Terry Taylor Rick Martel had the Undertaker's gimmick Curt Hennig had the Undertaker's gimmick I think the gimmick would've been way cooler send the big red mullet

[@lancegilmore9621]

Going back and watching these in order for the first time. This is the first episode where the chemistry and editing really hit its stride.

[@yeoshow1984]

Earthquake, Dino Bravo, Haku and Barbarian = the most legitimate team of tough guys ever.

[@nickm8874]

Jarrod Yeo great shout

[@intrigued16]

Yeah you got to admit even if they couldn't fight, (which what I understand at least a few of them know how to handle himself. Haku and earthquake for sure,)they'd be a hard group to deal with.

[@yeoshow1984]

@@intrigued16 Dino was an amateur wrestler and his strength was well documented. Barbarian also a 300lb brute and was hand picked by the king of Tonga to go to Japan to study sumo (along with Haku). These lads could definitely take of business.

[@intrigued16]

@@yeoshow1984 I forgot about barbarian being sent there. I seen it on, I think a KZbin video or something, haku in an interview had talking about it. As a kid barbarian was always one that stuck out to me and I always wondered why he never got a better push or why he was never more successful. Dino looked like a monster but he had very little charisma compared to the rest and then don't get me started on earthquake. I think he could have been a superstar after working with Hogan. But in turn I think that's what stopped him along with the warriors worthless ass. Oh and haku always scared the s*** out of me when I was a kid, more so after he put on all that size in WCW. Sorry I keep on going but another guy is Warlord. I just don't get it. Like I said you know bravo he was what it was. John was the man and the other two had the mystique and had such stoic traits they didn't need personality. I mean look at undertaker for an example. Only thing I can think of is that steroid scandal ruin the early 90s wrestling in so many ways. Vince should have gone to being sports entertainment way before he did. You wouldn't even have had to announce it.

[@monsieurdubitatif8567]

[@tarrasque419]

He's not even good looking, I have no idea why they gave him the model gimmick in the first place..

[@davidbutler1622]

Do you reckon she used to strum herself over him at nighttime when your dad was working late?

[@jmn327]

This may sound weird, but I think a big part of what "made" the Undertaker early on was when they added the bell toll to the beginning of his theme. It wasn't overdone the way his more modern themes have it, very subtle, very deep, very eerie. People say all the time "He was a zombie mortician, how could that get over?!", but in an era of screaming coke-fueled promos, just that single sound told the entire audience "This guy is VERY different from everybody else on this roster. Pay attention."

[@glennwelsh9784]

It certainly helped get the crowd's attention. It's just like how Stone Cold's entrance just wouldn't be the same without the sound of the glass breaking at the beginning. They both have that element of instant recognition the moment you hear them.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

It always reminded me of death (the bong/bell) like from when you're doing a minutes silence and they toll the bell.

[@technounionrepresentative4274]

Also the original theme was in my opinion the only properly "eerie" theme

[@JackgarPrime]

@@OfficialFingazMC Exactly. By using the more somber, realistic version, with the sort of church organs people would hear during a proper funeral, it really sells the idea that Death has arrived in the building, and has come to put an end to colorful, smiling, high-energy superheroes of the day.

[@slapshot6ful]

You are good at comments. You nailed it. For something so cartoonish they really did show some subtlety and restraint in his initial push.

Hellooo! We're filling in the gaps of our KZbin channel after WWE deleted 27 of our episodes.

TheAPTGamer Oh yeah, look at wcw from 1994 (when Hogan arrived) and on to the present. Or tna from 2010 on (when Hogan arrived there) and look at the last 10 years of wwe (when cena went on top)... Three of the most disturbing pathetic ruining of wrestling companies ever in wrestling history... And things continue to stagnate even more, become more stale, more pg, more alienating to hardcore real wrestling fans. More killing of the talent pool and holding back everybody but cena. More lack of building stars (unless they are dumbed down cartoon big guy look super goofs who can't wrestle or talk like reigns or shitmus), more regression into doing the same tired matches and concepts 5 billion times and not even trying to get better... More shilling networks, apps, pg failed toys and actors/singers that nobody wants. They are losing fans by the moment and yet still two guys are very much involved in wrestling's demise present day. Hogan and cena. Not to mention what those two goofballs have done to the careers and lives of many others in this business just for them to get ahead and stay there!

[@Timmyboy505]

I like this format of Survivor Series way more then the current one, the feuds unlike stated in the video that they were "thrown together" were actually intertwined, for example. The Texas Tornado was feuding with Mr Perfect at the time for the IC belt, and Demolition at one time came in to beat the Texas Tornado up after a win, then LOD came out for the save, thus setting up the feud with Demolition. I liked how each team member on each team had a bone to pick with each member on the opposite side, LOD with Demolition for the tag team titles, and Mr Perfect and Texas Tornado for the IC title. And it;s no different on all the other teams. the feuds didn't start for the Survivor Series sake but where a continuation from the fueds earlier in the year, unlike nowadays where it's like "Well we beat eachother half to death on RAW or SmackDown every night but that has to stop because of the Survivor Series, but feel free to beat each other up again afterwards"

[@Thechezbailey]

I agree with you. It gave wrestlers an excuse to feud with multiple wrestlers/factions instead of just one on one.

Twitchanator92 I think Jim Hellwig and Steve Borden (sting) worked with the von Erich in WCCW as the Dingo Warriors then when watts bought WCCW they were the few that went to watts and changed there name to the Blade runners, After Kerry's brother David passed in Japan it was rumored that David was next in line to be NWA champion. since he passed away Kerry beat flair for the NWA world title in front of 40,000 at texas stadium. Kerry wasn't responsible enough to keep the title due to consistly missing dates and rumored drug abuse and dropped the title right back to aflair 3 weeks later. at that time Jim Hellwig had really short hair , eventually coping Kerry perm mullet. They both had similar body builds (that Vince loves) Kerry promos are the so bad throughout his career that some wonder if he might be slightly retarded, even Jim is a better promo. history repeats itself as Kerry wins the IC belt in the WFF but drops it very fast to mr. perfect. don't take his wrestling skills for granted because he did it all with 1 foot, but he couldn't stay sober, watch his match on you tube when he is wasted. both could have been the one to take the torch from hogan but we know Jim failed and Kerry took his own life just a couple years later

[@Muunderdifflin]

That visionaries show looks fuckin awesome!

[@timmahan1131]

Monsoon-"Close but no cigar..." Piper-"Nope' No smoke in here!..."

[@joshcope9485]

Props for the fantastic visionaries edit. Love all the nostalgic references so keep them coming

[@jailcatjones3250]

Takers mullet is gorgeous

[@Decetop]

Hahaha wow. A team of Ultimate Warrior, the Road Warriors, and Kerry Von Erich? I wonder who went over in that one.

[@kelman727]

Johnny Cocaine went over.

[@timholt78]

Love this episode! I remember watching this on PPV as a kid.

[@glennwelsh9784]

Hogan dominated the company in the 80's. To think about how many guys could've got pushes if Hogan didn't hog nearly every main event is infuriating. Rick Rude and Mr. Perfect could've got heel pushes but were relegated to the IC belt. Ted DeBiase was essentially given his own Million Dollar Championship to make up for Hogan holding the belt for so long. Warrior and Macho Man were damn lucky to have held the belt for any length

[@TakerKaneanite619]

Glenn Welsh Even Undertaker had a 6 day reign, before losing it back to Hogan

[@ads2686]

Don't forget the undertakers great title run. Which I'm sure included hulk Hogan not putting him over clean.

[@ads2686]

Hogan being such a dick was the reason when he finally fucked off wwf basically had no stars to push cos Hogan had fucked them all.

[@alleahsasseville]

I have to agree!! So many others should have been given a chance!! ☺

[@TheStylishChefCheese]

Glenn Welsh and when undertaker and Hogan faced each other in a “casket match” hogan destroyed the casket and then was tombstoned on the chair so it looks like undertaker had to “cheat” to win

[@guacamole9199]

Last heal team should be called The Million Dollar Vision.

[@SuperN1ntendoChalmers]

That's pretty good. The face team should have been called "The Job Refusers and the Jobber."

[@Yoshidoce2006]

The highlight of Hercules' career.

[@kelman727]

There was a singles match between Bret and Ted at Saturday Night’s Main Event after WM7.

[@kelman727]

Chris Terry Not the one at SNME, alas. The Nasty Boys defended their tag belts at the same event.

[@JMC77]

Hogan grandstanding in the grand finale is absolutely outrageous 😂 assists Santana pinning Warlord stays in ring while 3 count happens, pins Roma after kicking out of the Power Plex, pins DiBiase, beats shit out of Martel so he runs away, powerslams Hercules so Warrior can finish the job and gets in the ring and counts while Warrior gets the pin! 😂😂😂 Hogan was out of control that night! Totally undermining the actual Champion. Warrior run never stood a chance with Hogan manipulating in the background.

When WWE/F was ACTUALLY ENTERTAINING

[@michaelcarrig627]

Butch's selling of slaughter's offense is incredible.

[@carlaspinall7418]

Big gnger looks awesome in this video💪

[@comixproviderftw_02]

15:50 The beginning of a legend...

[@GetOnTheFloor82]

16:00 my favourite ever moment in wrestling. Watch at 16.19 too. The kid in the grey top, wearing glasses. Watch his face when Taker comes into view. That was the best intro ever. Ever. Oh and 17.10 too. Fucking epic!!!!!!!!

[@SonicAlchemy13]

I will always find it funny how WWE fucked themselves into a kayfabe corner by not having any real way of determining the "Grand Finale Match of Survival" without being able to acknowledge that it was "Faces vs Heels" or "Good Guys vs Bad Guys" or put any other way. So it just had to be 3 on 5 because there were only three faces that made it from "their side". Really stupid. Other than that, this is the event that got me into wrestling and will always hold a spot in my heart. I never watched it before and I borrowed a copy from friends to check out and fell in love.

[@SamoIsKing]

Jesus, that first match - only 2 (Ax and Smash) are still alive, including managers.

[@kurtvanderbogarde8402]

and Ax was the one whose health they were worried about.

[@douglifelsh]

Holy shit...the Visionaries reference just blew my mind.

[@millhousemillard2140]

As a kid when the taker thing happened, me and my buddy were 10 years old and just looked at each other stunned lol crazy to think how his career went

[@EDUBKTFO411]

Wow, I loved the Warriors team. The Champ, Texas Tornado, and LOD when I was a kid.

[@planescaped]

In regards to Sgt Slaughter and the crowd not reacting to him, at this time he looked like an old out of place, out of shape wrestler and him being good or a threat in any way was super far fetched and hard to suspend disbelief. The Slaughter who was in the cultural zeitgeist from GI Joe that they were trying to capitalize on was not _this_ Slaughter...

[@yakkers221b2]

59:06 Calling someone a plant works in the context of a wrestling show, and also as a general insult. Well done

[@Marcus-ru1ht]

Two great legends debut that night. Taker and the Rooster.

[@soneworleans]

Who said is the rooster

[@Xehanort10]

3:07 Dusty looks like he's seen something shocking in that picture.

[@ant-ct4cu]

Yeah, Sapphire's clopper.

[@Drew791]

28:58 I couldn't hear or understand that Sapphire joke. What was it?

[@GaunterODimm2]

Brown Bread is rhyming slang for dead.

[@KittenRaptor]

I just realised how they could have saved the Gobbledy Gooker segment - Imagine if the Undertaker came back out and DESTROYED it. THE POP!

[@OSW]

what would happen if Taker started selling for the gooker!!

[@glennwelsh9784]

It probably would've been the quickest face turn in wrestling history. He debuts as a scary heel, then annihilates the stupid Gooker to raucous cheers an hour later.

[@porkjuices8365]

The Perfect Team consists of no less than 3 Gimps according to Mr. Perfect. He assembled the team.

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Such a shame Taker couldn't have a proper send off...

[@pieV3000]

They should have just had red rooster in the egg but have him workout in his time off so he would be built. It probably would have been boo'd just not as much
