@@TheSkyatollahI envy wrestling fans from 1998. WWE and WCW were trading blows weekly and switching channels back and forth between WWE and WCW must have felt awesome. The guys from this channel really undersell the impact WCW has on wrestling and for some reason think AEW is better competition to WWE than WCW ever was. 😂😂😂😂
Undersold Disco vs Jacqueline here. Disco actually refused to put Jackie over and ACTUALLY was fired. He was unemployed for awhile, tried to go to WWF, but they kept delaying talks and eventually he came back, heard out the plan for him to lose because he wasn't willing to hit her and realized it was never going to hurt him to begin with
Name sounds familiar..I think..just can't match it to anything though..anyone maybe able to give me hand here?? I would appreciate the help from anyone who can...
Best thing about the Piper/Hogan cage match was it gave us Jim Cornette's promo on WWE. Were some good shots fired in that one. Two best were probably "they were sucking air so bad, the front three rows passed out from oxygen deprivation." and "Hulk Hogan- you are a household word but so is garbage. And it stinks when it gets old too."
Back in the day I though the biggest mistake WCW had made was Luger beating Hogan for the belt while the build to Sting vs. Hogan was still ongoing... only for WCW to then totally balls up the Starrcade match when, as Adam said in the video, it should have been the easiest thing in the world to do right. For me it should have been Hollywood getting squashed as the nWo had been eradicated and Hogan was on his own. Smash him with some big punches, a few clotheslines, Stinger Splash, Scorpion Deathlock, new champ, nWo finished, 1998 with a clean slate.
@BryRobinson Most viewership. Not your opinion. Facts Bischoff said 98 had the highest viewership, therefore the best product, therefore most profitable.
I don’t have any nostalgia for WCW because it was before I was born! But looking at WCW objectively, I can see why it was so popular but I can also see why it died! It was a case of too many cooks in the kitchen!
@@BryRobinson Well it a figure of speech I like to use! Do you not understand what it means! It means to many people was trying to run WCW! Inmates running the asylum also works I was just saying it differently! We all don’t speak the same way!
@@scottmccurdy6493Vince Russo had no idea what he was doing at all in WCW and only help WWE despite current situation was because Vince McMahon only used his good idea!
WCW really thought “Prince Iaukea” was a guaranteed bet. No wonder they failed. The real reason is don’t put someone like Bischoff in charge of anything.
Lex Luger really deserved to have the belt for a month or two. Then Hogan and his NWO cronies could've taken him out in spectacular fashion, further motivating his friend to defeat Hogan.
I would argue Starrcade 97 is worse than Souled Out because at least Souled Out has good matches buried under a strange concept. Starrcade has almost no good moments in my opinion.
Nah , the next 2 months were alright and it continued to okayish , if not utterly sloppy until ... you know , Fall Brawl . After that ... yeah it pretty much everything fell off a cliff .
You guys should do a ranked of every nitro for the 83 weeks they won the ratings.
I second this, do it for their once in a blue moon super long videos
@@BabyDuckKasparThese guys doing a mentally long list is still rather common by comparison.

He wants the gold suckaaa
Makes you wonder. Booker you're not high on the rap music are you ?
3 entries in and i can already remember the MVP of WCW was DDP in the late 90s. I forget how popular he was around that time.
You’re totally underselling Stings show ending appearance at Uncensored. A huge pop when he took on the NWO
To be fair, nobody on this channel is actually a WCW fan and they get all of their opinions from revisionist history.

Disco Dickface: the original chauvinist
And he got a couple of TV Title reigns as well
Alex Wright was and remains one of the most underrated talents of this WCW era.
RIP WCW
Gone but never forgotten

Finally back to the NWA/JCP/WCW PPVs 1983-2001 you need to do this also with ECW Supercards and PPVs 1993-2001
StarrCade '97: The night WCW bungled their biggest match ever
Ego is B*tch
I was at the 97 superbrawl and watching Nash powebomb the giant was just crazy
7:01 Queen Debra sighting
Really want a "shreddie Guererro" plushie 😊
Perfect, im in a very WCW mood 😊
Souled Out was perfectly named No soul in this PPV

1996 was WcW best year
Not the most profitable
@@BryRobinson Very incorrect. WCW's most profitable year was 1998.
@@BryRobinson Wrong, Bischoff stated 1998 was most profitable as he had the best ratings and ppv buyrates

@@BryRobinson I don't care about your opinion go take a nap, you do not matter
I’ve been enjoying this series 2000 1999 1998 and now 1997 can’t wait for going backwards from 1996-1989 WCW PPVs 1983-1988 the only PPV was Starrcade
**quickly drags over a recliner chair and a of popcorn** alright let's boogie! 97' Dub Cee Dub! Yee-Haw! 🤠

Too many cooks. And one of them was Vince Russo.

Thanks 🎉
Enjoyable review show
WCW Then Now Forever Together
Between American Lames, and Shreddy Guerrero, this is Adam’s best work
Hulk Hogan, we coming for you Ninja 🥷
good video
Fall Brawl should be switched with Bash at the Beach batb was a more all around show IMO
95-98 WCW best era of wrestling ever
Hogan good or bad was legit. Others come close but Hogan was a master.
I'm only about 50% of the way through the video but I'm gathering that Eddie had the best match on every WCW PPV in 1997.
WCW really thought “Prince Iaukea” was a guaranteed bet. No wonder they failed. The real reason is don’t put someone like Bischoff in charge of anything.
halloween havocs gotta be #1 # 2 great american bash
Lex Luger really deserved to have the belt for a month or two. Then Hogan and his NWO cronies could've taken him out in spectacular fashion, further motivating his friend to defeat Hogan.
With all that talent and momentum wcw should have killed wwf that year
Put the wwe out of business.
Your shirts too tight too billy lol
No begging here? Should have kept it up, beg 24/7 365
The door is locked too!
I would argue Starrcade 97 is worse than Souled Out because at least Souled Out has good matches buried under a strange concept. Starrcade has almost no good moments in my opinion.
13:18 so that's why you're banned from Ventnor....
Lex Luger was the man in 1997!!! I don’t care what anyone says
I think the whole Souled Out write up could just be replaced by "Miss nWo contest" and everyone would understand why it's the worst.
Can you please get TripleJump to play either auto destruct for the Playstation or primal rage for the Sega genesis?
Oh wait, yeah you're begging on this video too
Already know Souled Out is the worst on this list 😂
No one could be surprised by the bottom-ranker on this list. What else could you expect for the show that started on garbage trucks?
1996 Next
When does 2023 ranked drop????
wcw should have kept Steve Austin and tweek his character some. Imaigine the legitness possibly.
Starrcade 1997, the beginning of the end for WCW.
Nah , the next 2 months were alright and it continued to okayish , if not utterly sloppy until ... you know , Fall Brawl . After that ... yeah it pretty much everything fell off a cliff .
Ah WCW in 1997............the beginning of the end....
Pride, before the fall, WCW.
NINJA TURTLE POWER!
Why no Halloween havoc
Maybe you should have watched the whole video...
I just seen lionheart for the first time this week on collision....not that impressed, wwe Jericho will always be the best.
