I met Booker at a convention and in a Q&A he said a guy he always liked working with was Benoit, despite what we know now. Watching stuff like their stuff in WCW and in WWE years after this show, it’s not hard to see why.
I loved when the announce team saw Buff's "cast" Schiavone said something like "A Doctor would lose his license if he wrapped a patient like that" to which Heenan replied "Or he would work here." The awkward silence that followed was hilarious, Tony and Tenay had no how idea how to respond to that.
Ya, not having a solid base under your feet and still chucking a 230 lb man safely was insane. That goes for both men, for Saturn to trust the very green Goldberg to execute, but also for the effort it took to pull off by Goldberg. Absolute monster
I was so into the Raven DDP feud as a 9 year old that after lobbying for 2 years, I got my mom to order this as my first PPV. Raven was my guy. When he won the title I lost my mind.
I was 18 and my uncle who lived in the states had tickets and took me and my cousins. My first and only live WCW event , this PPV has a warm place in my memories 👌
@@DaviniaHill really who wants to sit and do commentating and maybe if your lucky wrestle once in a blue moon when you still feel like you have more left in the tank. Would probably also make far far less money as compared to what WCW was offering him. And just because Savage followed Hogan to WCW doesn't mean Hogan than had to be a utter douche bag and make sure that no matter what Savage can never be in a top spot without me hogging the spotlight. Like when Savage one his first world title he was supposed to be able to celebrate alone in the ring. Yet what does Hogan do during the actual match he somehow politics his way into a different finish where instead of it taking multiple guys to eliminate him he instead has it so the Giant takes him out under the bottom rope but the refs miss it and think he went over the top. All so that instead of Savage being able to get his moment alone with the title. Instead he has to deal with that dick Hogan confronting him in the ring grab a mic and bitch about how he was cheated out of the title.
Another damn good Chavo PPV match. I saw it earlier this morning and he and Dragon really clicked. Pretty amazing how good he was despite not been in the business that long. Side note, i know it's not related to this show but I gotta have him credit for his statement in handling the terrible situation surrounding his cousin Sherilyn that occured recently on social media. Kudos to him on that.
It's not really that surprising considering he was raised in one of the greatest wrestling families, but I do think he gets glanced over a lot. He's always been a solid worker, and he's the very definition of humble and kind.

I was there right outside the gate of the Miami Arena when Macho Man was run over. It was very interesting watching the whole thing unfold and seeing everyone before and after the stunt.
1:08 They didn't want to oversaturate the market with Bret, they wanted to keep him in reserve for a special series. They were waiting for El Dandy to become available.
Vincent/Virgil aint dead yet. He is gonna outlive us all and keep appearing at conventions and train stations offering to sign merch no one wants 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I believe this was the first wrestling ppv I was ever allowed to purchase, so this one was pretty special for me. There's a weird moment I don't think I'll ever forget: around the moment when Sting is going for a him splash against the guardrail, a kid him the front row notices a small hole in Sting's singlet and points it out to the camera. Definitely a highlight of the whole show.
L.A. Park(La Parka) is a good wrestler but goddamn he's got a horrible reputation for going into business for himself example last at MLWs post Mania Tapings
I was at this show as a birthday present way up in the nose bleed section. Best memory of it was after the show seeing the giant/big show and Saturn getting into a small car after outside the arena.
I liked Booker T. from the very first days of Harlem Heat but that one right there is what will always be my favorite version of him. And the best of seven series between him and Benoit was amazing. Good times when the TV title was held in such high regards to have those two guys feud in such a series over it.
13:25 I agree about the perfect combo of great slimy heel on the mic & serious opponent in the ring, especially about how hard it is to find that balance. I can think of examples where they get the first part down but either run off or avoid doing ringwork (at least until PPVs), and it's easy for the reaction to go from "wow, this guy is such an entertaining jerk" to "dude, step up or shut up, you don't actually DO anything anymore".
When I was too young to really understand the difference between wrestling companies I remember buying WWF war zone for the PS1 and being surprised that Goldberg wasn't in it
Going to see an event from "Big West Wrestling" on Sunday. One of the few Wrestling companies from beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Very much looking forward to it. As always love the content Brian :)
@lutherheggs451 I understand your point but I disagree. Paranoid maybe but his wife was around a lot of guys who were drinking on drugs and unfaithful to their wives I'd be a little cautious too. Plus the whole locking her in the closet thing sounds way overblown I think the door was locked sure but she could probably open it whenever she wanted
5:02 Brian Zane: "I would gladly vote for a presidential candidate who promised a federal ban on glitter". Well, Zane, I hate to "shatter" your "dreams" but Dustin Runnels might disagree with you, especially when he brought back his "golden" persona at Judgement Day: In Your House on October 18, 1998. :)
Thanks for reviewing this. 👏👏👏 Because of the propaganda, its tough to find objective reviewers. You hit all the points nicely and brought back alotta memories for a WCW kid. Well done
Man, interesting as always. Wish I'd had followed through with my yt ambitions cause you have so much passion for wrestling and I imagine doing these videos is more good than bad. 😂

That Goldberg press slam while standing on the ropes had to be hard as hell to execute, what a monster.
