Bret didn't draw Nash didn't draw in 94. We just came out of a recession I believe. People didn't have the money to burn. I was 14 in 1994 and I can tell you Brets run was amazing. Was so sick of Hogan's troop. Honestly still say Brets my fav of alltime... mainly because of the impact this run had on my young life.
I cannot stand watching Bret Hart. I can acknowledge that he's one of the best wrestlers in ring, I know it's just my personal taste and not me saying anything about his quality, but I just cannot watch him. He pours me to tears. I don't find him entertaining in any way. And I know that that's not a popular position but I just couldn't get into him.
Nash is one of my favorite and maybe2 the best shoot interview in the business. Although I appreciated work rate it isn't everything and wrestling was better with Stars like Nash on top then today with much better in ring wrestlers like Omega, Okada, Cole etc... but lacking hot angles, feuds, star power, and just fun. Wrestling was better in 96- 03 then anything on today ( and I like AEW, NJPW, and still watch every WWE show ). I wish we could have the work rate of today with selling from the past lol... But with a 96 97 WCW and 98 99 WWF feel with a tad of ECW and sports feel and just fan respect as NJPW. AEW either feels like WCW pre nwo 90s ( 94 95 early 96 ) or WCW 2000 mixed with current WWE lite depending on the week.
He’s one of my favorites too. No he wasn’t Ricky steamboat in the ring, but I always roll my eyes when fans try to legitimately make this stupid ass argument that “he only had five moves six with the hair flip” I love Jim Cornett but when he said that Jim kind of helped this new generation of wrestlers who think being a good worker means doing 983 moves in a match. But if you look at how all the other 7 foot tall guys wrestled, you’re really going to tell me that undertaker , Sid and The Giant we’re arm, track, takeover and doing triple reverse counters and having matches that with they were in the Tokyo Dome would get seven or eight stars from uncle Dave? No. Undertaker is another one of my favorites, but he gets a pass for doing three moves during his prime run. Actually after Kevin left, he added a couple of Kevin’s moves. Nothing wrong with that at all but if it were the other way around there would be some 300 pound neck beard somewhere having a conniption fit. I hate to tell people that have been told by the Internet for 20 years that Kevin was this terrible wrestler that all the fans hated and he only got to the top because of political maneuvering. That’s really not true. Kevin from 1994 and until the end of the 90s was very much over with wrestling fans.he’s always been one of my favorites.
I hate when Bruce won't admit that something was either dumb or didn't work. He does sometimes, but if Meltzer says something negative that is completely valid Bruce will not agree with him just because.
I disagree with Bruce Prichard on a lot of things, but the part where Conrad got butthurt over Bruce calling out Dave Meltzer for being the moron he is was gold.

@@freemind6954 why are still upset about kayfabe getting "killed"? That's a little silly at this point, right? Nash was definitely a game changer as he was 1/3 of NWO and helped bring in the most financially successful era's in wrestling history.

Well bahgawd I'm gonna listen to this here yonder while I drive my semi tractor trailer full of fireworks that I picked up in Plymouth, MN and taking it to Marion, IN. Just need to stop at a Flying J truck stop and buy me some pizza with some sody pop.
I think it coulda worked with the interview when he was Diesel if he would of been a heel. They could of talked about how he was a hell raiser on campus tagging stuff and most importantly having no respect for authority slapping his coach in the locker room. It definitely could of worked if he was a heel and not a baby face. This is an example of Roman Reigns before Roman Reigns.
Same tired joke about an athlete with a severe leg injury prior to becoming a professional wrestler and still managed to eke out a living. Try harder with your humor.
Bruce's dislike for Meltzer really has him saying the Jackknife wasn't a powerbomb. Absolutely ridiculous. It was definitely a powerbomb. Nash refers to it as a powerbomb, but because Meltzer called it a powerbomb Bruce is like " no it wasn't a powerbomb." Edit*Tennessee isn't a major University? Bruce showing how out of touch he is
I love how bruce gets all defensive when confronted with the fact that McMahon was doing the exact same thing (as Bichoff during 90s) in the 80s. McMahon has done some good but overall he has killed all competition, bought all his rivals and removed almost anyone that could take his wrestlers away. All the medical and retirement benefits were things that he always should have been doing. I personally don't think McMahon has been a net positive for the wrestling industry. It was far better for fans in the 90s. Not so sure about the workers probably not with the benefits and guaranteed contracts.
if vince had pay medical insurance it would of killed his business plan and he wouldnt have been able to pay the wrestlers as much as he did. you cant have everything those wrestlers knew what they signed up for they made a lot of money got to travel the world and became famous sounds like good trade off to me
The most overrated era was the Hogan era. Hogan had like 6 moves max and a super power up. Brett Hart, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker were all better than hogan in the 90s, before Hogan left for WCW. Hogan got paid and the Rock, Stone Cold, and HHH put the WCW out of business.
Rosters were thin 94 and 95 I’d say. Watch rumble 95 very few serious contenders to win it. Outside a handful of stars they were short. So it’s remiss to put bad numbers only in the chsmp
I remember the changes that ended up leading to the match of Bret vs. Undertaker except it was in Houston, TX for a house show. I was in my early teens and I remember buying tickets because the match was originally going to be the tag match of Diesel and Shawn against Bret and Undertaker and, being a Taker mark and despising the hell out of Shawn, I wanted to see the two of them meet in the ring with Taker beating the crap out of him. Then, it changed to the triple threat and I was still interested, but not as much. Finally, it became Bret vs. Taker and, despite their work ethic, I completely lost interest. Goldust interfering just as Taker was about to win was just salt in the wound.
Didn't play for a major university? I'm pretty sure UT is a major university. Same as if he would have played for Alabama, Kentucky, etc.. it's not like he was playing for middle tennessee state community College lol
The power bomb talk is so dumb. Savage, Dynamite Kid and Stan Hansen all threw clotheslines differently. They're still clotheslines. If it looks like a power bomb, it is.
Conrad, the hair commercial at 2:06:00, hair and baldness patterns genetically come from the MOTHER's side of the family. Want to know your future? Take a look at you mother's father, her brothers, her uncles, and the like.
I remember even as a 13 year old kid seeing the Diesel Sid match on paper and being bored with it...I was never interested in the "Syco" version of Sid
Every comment on this stupid platform is unoriginal. Ya know, they understood the assignment and woke up and chose violence and secured the bag. Or some shit like that.
I think the narrative that it was all Kevin‘s fault why the WWF wasn’t drawing in 1995 is bullshit. Really from 1991 to the middle of 1996 it didn’t matter if it was WWF or WCW or who the belt was on whether it was Diesel, Ron Simmons, Bret Hart, Yokozuna, Vader, Undertaker, Sting, etc. wrestling was down at the time across the board and that narrative really started getting pushed by people like Bruce Prichard after Kevin and Scott left to go to WCW because they are glorified yes men but they never actually tell you the truth. I’ve actually talk to younger fans that have just heard that narrative for the last decade and they really believe that WWF was getting 5 million viewers a week on Monday night raw or some ridiculous high number like that when Bret was champion in 1994 and then in November of that year they put the belt on Diesel and 2 million people stopped watching WWF overnight. Anyone that was watching wrestling both WWF and WCW back then knows that’s complete horseshit. We had a huge wrestling boom in the 80s, both WWF and WCW were doing really great numbers in the 80s and things happened in both companies that really hurt the ratings. From 1983 to 1988 NWA/WCW was at their peak. From 1985 to 1987 WWF was constantly growing in popularity and it really peaked in 87 and then it stayed at that high of popularity really until about 1990. WCW‘s rating started really hurting when Jim Crockett sold to Ted Turner and the new owners really didn’t know how to run a wrestling company and on the WWF side it was a combination of yes Hulk Hogan was the most popular wrestler ever at the time bud at that point he had been on top for five or six years straight and the fans were kind of starting to fall out of love with him then the steroid trials happened and all the guys that were on top in the 80s were no longer on top. I’m not saying that guys like Bret Hart, Yokozuna, HBK, Razor Ramon, Lex Luger and Undertaker weren’t good enough or anything like that but at that point in the early 90s they weren’t anywhere near is over. WWF’s ratings decline started happening three years before they ever put the belt on Diesel. To make matters worse in WWF they were giving really great in ring workers really stupid gimmicks. Doink the clown, wrestling plumbers, the wrestling dentist, all of those things had a bigger negative effect than anything Diesel was doing. Was he booked right as a champion? No not really but that’s not his fault. And I’m sick of the narrative of “will anyone can have a great match with Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart. Brett and Sean both have said they think Kevin is a good worker . I mean they didn’t say he was Ricky steamboat or anything like that but compared to the other guys his size at the time they’d rather work with him then Sid. But Kevin was just is over as the other top baby faces were. If the guy wasn’t over then and he and Scott Hall showing up on nitro wouldn’t have shifted the ratings like they did. Not saying Kevin was the greatest wrestler of all time but he damn sure isn’t as bad as the haters make him out to be

@@markant9534 that’s really been overblown. Brett didn’t outdo him like people are saying they are. Whether it was Kevin or Brett or HBK, they were just down that’s it. Wrestling history has been rewritten so many fucking times now the truth is no longer even a thought.
Is there anyone today in any wrestling promotion that comes off as naturally cool in and out of character as Nash ? The ones that try to be cool mostly come off as nerds ( the biggest offender was cool Kyle Orielly which was fucking cringe. He's a amazing wrestler but not cool at all.) Adam Cole felt cool in nxt but comes off as a dork in aew. The only wrestler that feels real is KO Orton and Lesnar. Everyone else is playing a character or just doesn't seem cool. People like Miro, Black, MJF etc... that are cool are not used correctly outside of mjf. People like Rollins, Hangman, Styles etc that are great don't come off as nerds too. Even Punk and Bryan aren't necessarily cool. Wrestling is desperately needing a naturally cool character. Even someone like Hook comes off as a parady now. Can these promotions hire someone like Nash who understands cool and can implement it into the show
