If you listen to Stevie rays podcast about that match. He had me laughing so hard because he was laughing so hard because booker T and Ahmed planned out every spot, went over it five or 6 times....when Ahmed throws booker T out of the ring. Booker said to Stevie "he done forgot every fucking thing" Stevie was laughing and laughing it was my favorite episode of Stevie rays podcast just how funny he tells it.
I won’t say I haven’t laughed that hard in years because that would be a lie, but I definitely chuckled pretty good at it and then laughed at the end when the “you’re full of shit” in that almost sad cowboy voice before dinking the ref on the head
Were you too young to remember the Yappapai match or not even born yet? I remember it well and all the Hogan promos leading up to the match well as I was 18-19yrs old at the time and it was a really great time in my life with so many great memories. And it was a great time to be alive because after 2008 the world got a terrible place where people talk about freedom of speech but want to censor people’s opinions on social media throwing them off social media platforms after telling them “you can’t say that”
I made an edit to Jimmy Hart's wikipedia page YEARS ago mentioning how he's the first ever Strapmaster and one of his previous ring names is The Strapmaster because of that Hogan promo. It's STILL up there after all these years. Makes me happy whenever I think about it.
There's a third Yappapi promo on Thunder before the PPV. The best part is Hogan is now holding three straps at once. It's like the straps multiplied with each promo. WCW was having a jolly laugh.
I maybe alone on this but I wish Brian Zane made a Classic PPV Review compilation on every pay-per-view of WCW 2000 because every review has been a comedy carwreck. :)
Jesus Christ, that Terry Funk impression had me laughing for a good 5 minutes. It both sounds exactly like the Funker and absolutely nothing like him at once. Good stuff Z-man.
One of my best memories of my father was watching WCW with him every Monday. He would always do commentary for Norman Smiley matches in a high pitched voice and would do the screaming thing LONG before it became an actual gimmick of Smileys. We were amazed when he actually DID that, lol. Strange random memories that are perfect. Love you and miss you Pops.
That's awesome man truly.Ironically I have a similar story...back during the wars when ppl flipped back and forth...I was a big wwf fan but my dad loved WCW and argued it was better...then the nWo and crow sting debuted...and for just a lil while...I had to agree with him lol
So, for the curious, there is a northern Arizona tribe called the Yavapai. Anyone near the Prescott Valley region will be familiar with them. And they are forever going to be called "Yappapi".
@@RyanDMooredamn. They shit on you for having a different opinion and one even called you sad lmao. Now try telling a group of AEW marks that peak TNA was better. I’ve literally been hit before with the “your opinion doesn’t count. You liked 2009 TNA.” You mean the main event mafia and heel angle, sting vs angle in the dark arena match, aj styles vs angle, Desmond Wolfe vs angle in the cage match, the formation of beer money and their feuds with LAX and the machine guns? Damn right I liked 2009 TNA 🤣
Imagine if someone did that to jimmy and jey uso, only reason no one would is because they’re liked enough even back when they had the same hair and face paint for people to bother checking 🤣
I was super confused when I saw Finlay. I thought “That is Finaly’s face, but I’m also pretty sure that’s just Brian Knobs.” Thank you, Brian, for connecting those dots for me literally 15 seconds later
It may also have been an offshoot (or proto version) of the propensity of the WCW to have people copying other gimmicks. Really the only difference between Knobbs and Finlay was the reason they were brawlers...Finlay was leaning into his heritage and Knobbs found it "fun" (or so I figure...can't see any other reason he'd enjoy those sorts of fights). Hell, even on this show, there were inklings of this outlook...Jericho/Lane and Vampiro/Sting were notable (can't really count Smiley/Demon, as the only thing Smiley duplicated was the entry/outfit). I'm not counting 3 Count (stable/faction) or Psychosis/Guerrera (similar backgrounds/upbringings), though...
I remember I would often switch between WWF Raw and WCW Nitro back in the day. I remember randomly seeing that second promo for the YAPPAPI STRAP MATCH!!! and thought, "Yeah, I'm not watching WCW anymore."
By this point I was fully tuned out of WCW but I do remember randomly tuning in one week and thinking “huh.. did Fit Finlay and Brian Knobs join The No Limit Soliders?
Jeff Jarrett had a similar attitude as Owen hart. Despite having various women at his side, there was never an angle with him being romantically involved with any of them. He was very faithful to his first wife.
Here's a fun fact: In the WWF, Owen Hart (in storyline) was originally supposed to have an affair with Debra, who was his friend Jeff Jarrett's manager, but Owen turned it down because he didn't want his wife Martha to think he was cheating on her for real...
@@wymanisgr8. After his first wife died. I despise what he did but he was faithful while she was alive. After her tragic death, all bets were off on hisdick.
In regards to the utter confusion of that main event match, let's just remember what Bobby "The Brain" Heenan said back at Uncensored 1996: "IT'S UNCENSORED! THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT!!"
I remember watching this with my dad on PPV back when I was 12. I legitimately remember my dad making comments about how stupid it was after. Still miss those days Brian.
Jeff Hardy internal monologue: Man, I was watching Uncensored 2000 and this guy, Shannon Moore, he stole my swanton bomb. Man, I'm gonna back to North Carolina and tell my stoner friend, Shann...oh wait, maaaan. (Markyd reference)
How Hogan described the "Yappapi" strap match during the buildup to this event made me think that I don't want to be in a strap match with the Hulkster, brother.
Your impressions are gold Brian, i remember laughing my ass off when Terry told the ref he was full of shit and then proceeded to clock him in the face with the cowbell.
Hi Brian! Longtime subscriber. My Classic PPV review suggestion is Wrestlemania 8; I think the botched main event finish has sadly given the whole show a bad rep, a guilty by association type of thing, which might be unnecessary or justified; I’ll let the review decide that. Thanks Brian!
I had my youtube CC on as Hulk Hogan banged on the chainlink fense shouting "Luger!" and it interpreted it and captioned it as "Burger!" Now I can't un-hear it!!!
Just read Terry Funk's autobiography and he really felt bad for Kevin Sullivan around this time. Between the injuries and the people with guranteed contracts who just wouldn't show up or refuse to do things every card was a nightmare to put together. Just putting things together with whoever he happened to have.
I’ve always wanted to see you talk about Mania 12 & 13. The iron man match is very polarising, and 13 is possibly the biggest example of a one match card out of all the Manias.
I almost spit out my drink when Brian did the Terry Funk voice. This whole review is amazing, 2000 wcw is the crem de la crem of trainwreck and this is easily one of Brian's funniest reviews ever.
Everytime you do the Funk impression I think about how I adapted "You egg-sucking dog" as an insult and have trouble explaining it each time i use it lol
Luger looking around while trying to pose is a pretty cool detail. Tbh he was never one of my favorites but he does some cool stuff in the later days. Edit: unpaused and you said basically what I was trying to express
@Alec Pridgen well, not quite random. He *is* a British guy named Norman. Guaranteed he came up with the name himself, though. I can't imagine any WCW road agent (unless Finlay was already office at this point?) who would have picked up on that.
