“WCW Sin, why does it sound so familiar?”
oh god it’s that sid match.
I was thinking is this the one where Sid broke his ankle soni get you mean 😀
Had the same thought.
My exact reaction last night watching this PPV back, halfway through the main event, I said “Wait, isn’t this the one ppv...”
jeez was it horrible as hell. It gave me shivers just watching it
I have never been able to watch anything after the Sid incident. Hate to see that happen to anyone.
Damn, that thumbnail is top quality. Praise be to Yevon.
AHAHAHAHA.....AHAHAHAHAHAHA.......
What is that I can't see it
@@harooniqbal4528 It's a character named Sin from Final Fantasy 10
Easy there, Wakka. Not in front of the Al-Bhed.
Lots of Fiends out today, yah?
"Lex Luger and his very large shirt." Well, do we have to remind you how much Lex Luger hates tight t-shirts?
Hayoooooooooo
I DONT KNOW
And locked doors too, Billy!
What’s it called Superbrawl Saturday?
CAN YOU EVEN AFFORD TO PAY ME, RON?!?!
I'll never get tired of "The Man Called MENGGGG!" running gag.
But i think it fits Sting better😂
He loves his honey
He loves the rock
Is Meng in love with the coco
I honestly look forward to it.
And we learn that he deflates when he gets hit with a show snovel.
if i could meet brain my life would be awesome id rather meet him then the rock,brad pitt, even god
Sid is such an underrated pro. Even with his leg nearly falling off, he tried his best to sell those stomps. He took the pinfall without complaint. The guy is an absolute professional. So much love for sid
Any man that could sell the Shock Masters debut could sell God damn ANYTHING.
I think he was in shock in both of those situations 😉
Okay, I think we all know the lesson here. Between Sid on this show and Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XIX, if Johnny Ace tells a big guy to do an aerial move then they shouldn't listen to him.
Johnny Ace might be one of the stupidest people in the business. The bikini model, butterfly belt era of womens wrestling was also his fault.
Which begs the question, was Laurinitis know for being a highflyer wrestler, if not then why pushing do hard for those type of moves?
@@djpegao Johnny Ace has to claims to fame. Being Road Warrior Animal's brother and inventing the Cutter.
@@bejammin2000 and Tag team runs in All Japan with Dr. Death
In all fairness Lesnar used to do his ssp on the reg in OVW, and it was seen as his surprise big match move, that he always hit and it looked amazing due to his mass. The botch at WM19 was a fluke.
I believe that fan was the guy who won the "Be Goldberg's manager" competition.
K0
I'd like to know who that plant was in the audience.
Did he sign up him getting yeeted from behind the rail?
That was a real competition?
@@horrorfiend7694 I don't know I'm sure a lot of fans wanted to beat up that guy
Sin is buff, Sin is the stuff, and the Aeons just can't get enough!
That made no sense
You make me feel tense
@@MasterOfViewership it's a FFX reference
@@MasterOfViewership FFX bro, one of the best rpgs of all time.
The monster wearing the buff Bagwell hat in the video picture is Sin the villain from Final Fantasy 10. Chris Venegas made a version of buff Bagwell‘s Song referencing sin from Final Fantasy 10.
*AeonFlux*
Wakka wakka
I don't know what's more disturbing, the injury itself or the fact that Sid lay there, with an obvious shoot injury, writhing in pain and they kept going on with the kayfabe, stomping him in the process as he lay helpless. BRUTAL AF if you think about it.
Lol when you put it like that it’s really fucked up
WCW (and Johnny Ace) everyone
I love the idea that Mike Awesome just paints his bus differently based on whatever he's super into that week.
I was so focused on the fact that I dropped a plate of chicken wings on the floor that I missed the Sid fiasco.
Sad times all around.
How many years of therapy to recover from that compared to Sid's?
Sid’s leg may have healed, but that still doesn’t bring back those wings 😢
I imagine when Sid took that boot off at the hospital, blood was just spurting everywhere like a garden hose
The bones were probably sticking out his flesh. Compound fractures are horrifying to just think about.
@@fattiger6957 and to think that boot was literally the only thing holding the leg together, YIKES!
It was not actually, there’s footage out there of him doing the move. The bones don’t break the flesh, or if they did it was under the sock and boot and didn’t show.
Boy, shocked Johnny Ace didn't even get like, smacked for that shit
I wonder if Dak Prescott is talking to Sid right now?
I love that you’ve set out the final three classic reviews for the month as the final three WCW PPVs. Sin tonight, SuperBrawl Revenge on the 16th, and Greed on the 30th.
For some reason the combination of Meng deflating and "Show Snovel" had me in stitches
I always found it funny that Scott Steiner called himself a “genetic freak”. When we know damn well that wasn’t genetics.
Even before Steiner started eating a balanced breakfast every morning, he was a freak athlete. Early 90s Scott Steiner was that generations Brock Lesnar.
@Marc Carran "Steroids don't make you big unless you work out and eat well" okay, so you still admit that Scott wasn't purely genetics :v
@Marc Carran Do you not understand the "purely" part? Or should I say "only"? And are you trying to defend steroid abuse? 🤔
@Marc Carran
A) no one is saying steroid abuse alone makes a person big
B) far as I know, Scott is for sure taking them and it's not for some medical reason recommended by doctors
C) you're a Scott mark, we get it :v
Acting like the man can do no wrong
Is it because 'Steroid And Human Growth Hormone Freak' won't fit on a pair of tights?
THAT'S SIN, BROTHER! PRAISE BE TO YEVON, JACK!!! BRASKAMANIA IS RUNNING WILD!!!!!
BAH GOD, HE HIT THE SUBLIMELY MAGNIFICENT JECHT SHOT MARK III!
YEVON, GET THE TABLES!
THAT'S THE SIN BROTHER! *points to the roof of a hotel miles away*
Ffx and wrestling references? Yes please
Watch out for the Al Bhed, Brother! They're all heels!
Thank you for not showing the Sid leg break clip. That and Vader getting his eye knocked out are just things I never want to see again.
Oh man, the Vader eye go bye-bye moment...yoikes.
So this PPV is the reason why Jetch die and Tidus was drag to Spira
I was in a coffee shop, running away from home when I heard the news. Our hero, Jecht, gone. Vanished into thin air! My dad must have been his biggest fan. I knew how sad he’d be. Heck, we all were that day.
“Zanar,” I says to myself, “What are you thinking?” I went running straight back home. We sat up talking ’bout Jecht all night. My dad and I never talked so much.
Whoa… Didn’t mean to reminisce, folks. Anyway… Ten years later, the Jecht Memorial Cup tournament is today!
The Zanarkand Abes, the best wrestling stable ever.
Great picture choice Brian for the thumbnail
Sin is Jecht.
I cried more when Aerith died. She had alot of potential for R34.
Even Joe Theismann saw Sid's injury and went "HOLY SHIT!!!"
And when Sid saw Kevin Ware's injury during March Madness some 12 years later...😧
@@TMC1982Part2and when I saw Kevin Ware’s break I immediately thought of Sid’s 😬😬😬😬😬
*Steiner and Animal see Sid's leg in a unnatural position, clearly hurt and in no condition to keep going*
Well, better stick to the script and kick him!
Considering Vince stepped over Owen’s body to finish Over The Edge a broken leg is small time...
@@alexmartin3143 That's different. Vince didn't step over his body, he was immediately sent to the hospital, unlike Sid. The show went on after. It'd be the same if his opponent came out to pin him after he fell, but he didn't, did he?
It is Scott Steiner
What do you expect
@@alexmartin3143 0-100
@@ShadicRothZz1998they knew he was dead before he left the building they just scrapped his dead body off the mat and bring out the next wrestler that’s disgusting
The final fantasy X reference in the thumbnail is amazing.
"we called it....sin.."
I'm giving the like for the FFX reference
Best game ever!
Same hah
Same lol
I understood that reference
Same here!
15:55 The Man Called Meng’s weakness: Show Snovels.
I remember everyone giving Tony Schiavone shit in 2001 for not caring and his announcing "going down a notch". Can you blame him? It's no wonder why Tony is amazing now, he just needed 20 years away from this hell-scape.
To be fair, would you commentate next to Mark Madden for a year without just saying "oh fuck this shit."
@@williamcronshaw5262 I couldn't commentate with the dude for an hour and I'm not even a commentator; I'd still, somehow, be better at it than Madden.
Tony has a 19 inch weiner. He doesn't concern himself with the affairs of mortals
@@williamcronshaw5262 can you imagine a show commentated by King and Mark Madden? 🤣😭
@@greenkoopa I think even King would take a step back and go “What the hell is with this guy?”
I'm just now noticing that's Sin from Final Fantasy 10 in the thumbnail.. Haha well played Zane
Could you imagine Michael Buffer doing audio books in his ring announcer voice complete with sustained syllables? Imagine him reading War And Peace that way
I’d get chills to hear him read “Twilight”
"An injury the audience don't get to see..."
Ok...
"Sid goes to the top rope"
Oh no...
Dude, Sin wearing the Buff Bagwell tophat had be dying.
thanks for not showing the leg, Brian, or highlighting for the review. you're a credit to both the wrestling and youtube communities in your dignity
Final Fantasy fans will get the thumbnail reference right away.
I did not know until watching this review that Sid’s gruesome leg injury wasn’t televised live, and the first glimpse was actually on Nitro. I remember watching that and turning away in disgust after that first clip. Like you said Brian, it was a VERY good thing the viewers watching the PPV didn’t see it as it happened.
The sloppy production in storytelling was textbook WCW in 2000-01. Can’t wait to see what the final shows have in store.
Speaking as an orthopedic nurse, the fact that Sid, as big as he is, was able to walk and perform again at all after a comminuted, transverse fracture of his tibia/fibula is nothing short of a medical miracle. 3/4 of the people with that type of injury mechanism are never the same again.
I've seen the Sid injury one time.
And that was one time too many.
Makes me shiver every time, could imagine how Sid feels if he saw his leg
@moon dawg actual, WCW pushed him to make more sick Moves for his size
@moon dawg higher ups in WCW wanted Sid to add some top rope moves to his moveset because they thought he was getting stale
I will never un-see it
I can't watch it again either. When my friend showed it to me, I already had an idea what I was getting into, and he gave me every chance not to watch. I did it anyway, and then I had to go outside and breathe for a while. Rough stuff.
Thanks for the shout-out in the description, Brian! I'd completely forgotten I'd nominated this show. Also with all those chair shots to the head, it's no surprise that Terry Funk isn't doing so great now.
"Show Snovel" should be a reference now.
Yes it was
That needs to be a shirt
It's bizarre but it also featured in Cornette's latest podcast when Brian Last too mispronounced snow shovel haha
To this day, this is my favorite thumbnail of any wrestling youtube video. Well done, sir ;)
Never thought I'd see a Final Fantasy reference on this channel lol
Lmao i was looking at the thumbnail and i was like the hell but realized it was sin from X
And I would've never thought that Sin was a professional wrestling fan.
So many people asking “what is that?!?”
Hope he puts a Kefka reference.
I don't know the reference and i dont play ff oh well
Love that you used sin from final fantasy 10 for the thumbnail... all I wanted to say. Keep up the great work ^-^
Yeah that's the vicious broken leg thing still haunts me to this day ouch.
And a week or two later Scott Steiner cut a serious but awesome promo about what happened to Sid this is like Scott Steiner said Sid Vicious came off the top rope and get the massive chest of the big bad booty daddy and he felt the power and is laid send his leg shattered down to the mat and broken into
Did you see the video of that amateur wrestler who broke both legs at the knee a few weeks ago? He locked out his legs, and landed. Both legs broke backwards at the knees. Ouch
@@kevinW826 is it on UA-cam
@@kevinW826 Holy shit
I saw it as a kid and refused to watch it since. I can watch some bad injuries, but the leg snap just inspires fear
even though the penalty box match was a stupid concept i'll give them this: jim duggan did a good job as ref/penalty giver. his consistency was on point
I think that match could actually work if they tweaked a few things, like making it a 20 minute match where the most pinfalls win. Then you could have the ticking clock and the penalties actually affect the match. But I'm Canadian so maybe I just like the hockey aspect. Lol
@@steveharvey2102 maybe if a power play was in effect then the other team should be allowed to do whatever tag moves they want until the timer runs out
At first I was like wtf is that in the thumbnail and then I was like “oh, sin from FF”
What are you taking about, that's Buff Bagwell
same I was like "wtf is that?"
I ddnt see bagwell idk wtf im looking at
Ok. I came to see what the heck the thumbnail was. Not a Final Fantasy fan.
Brian, you absolute legend for using a FFX reference. Very impressed my man!
Whenever Meng finishes wrestling for a promotion he just deflates himself. Very efficient!
I work in Memphis and met Sid once and he told me straight up he’s never watched Sin or the injury
Imagine if Steiner hooked the other leg jeez
oh god...
That shit would wrap around his arm like a spaghetti noodle
Brian, you are absolutely the most ... watchable and relatable wrestling commentator around! You make videos I always want to watch!
At 19:08, there’s a pink sign that says “My brother is on house arrest.” Good to know I guess.
Mr. Zane, your material is so good I haven't watched a single wrestling event live since 2001, but I've seen all of your videos and watched a lot of them twice or more.
No joke!
I'm having a shit time at the moment, physically and mentally. WWW is such a lifeline
Hope you feel better!
Hope you feel better soon!
Brian Zane can really lift spirits . Hope you pull through whatever you are going through
All the best. Everything will be fine
as am i. heres to better times!
Yeah, that's the beauty of Lex Luger. Always some shirt shenanigans.
Shirt-nanigans.
Holy shit, Meng deflating is hardest I've laughed in a while. Made me choke on my lunch. Well done!
Best thumbnail I've ever seen on any video on this site
Funny that Reno's finisher (and the name too) became more famous than him lol
Also, Reno himself, is a Final Fantasy character lol
@@coonurkan That Reno was a Turk while his WCW counterpart was just a Turd.
A friend of mine during the efedding era used Reno as a template.
I didn't recognize that until literally earlier this year. That means for 17 years plus I thought it was original since he used other moves but the RTD was his finisher. In a related story I was a dumb kid.
Ok, at first it took me a while to see what was in your thumbnail until I saw the name of the pay per view and immediately had a good laugh.
I also love that you put the Buff Bagwell hat on Sin.
Tidus’s laugh best describes the end of WCW
I compare it more to Tidus crying.
In regards to Sid breaking his leg, that was sickening to watch.
'And just to show you how it really hurts again, they show it to you in slow motion! Every man at home is going 'Don't show that again.''
Robin Williams, Live At The Met, 1986
I prefer breaking my arm than leg since my can move lol.
Lex Lugar finally found a shirt that fits
The whole “beat me up to fool the other person who you’re also beating up” reminds me of what just happened with Toni Storm in NXT.
_He's the aeon called Sin! The aeon called Sin!_
15:37 I caught that deep-cut Homestar Runner reference there. Another reason to praise you, Mr. Zane.
I do love the reference to Final Fantasy 10 in the thumbnail XD
24:58 you can tell Tony is so done with this ppv. Great review Brian! Need this today!
When your 2nd main event involves Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker of the State Patrol, your company is not long for this world.
The Show Snovel attack may well be my favorite moment in late WCW history.
Hey guys, Brian is reviewing late WCW stuff. Let's pray for his sanity😏😏
The last three wcw ppvs were actually pretty decent and nowhere near as bad as the 2000 shows
@@pasta1169 That’s true. They were finally beginning to round the corner with these shows but by then it was too late to save the company.
I’ve been watching a lot of TNA lately. This is a breath of fresh air.
@@pasta1169 A trip to dick kick city is better than 2000 WCW lol
Still more entertaining than PG era WWE imho.
I know you must get this all the time but i would like to say thank you for covering these kind of past story lines. I was born in 97 so the greatest wreatling era for the most part was lost to me, but due to content like this i can re-wind, re-watch and re-live all of it. ❤
Help
Jamie Noble's name was actually spelled "Knoble" in WCW. It wasn't until he went to WWE was it simplified. I remember tons of SmackDown spoiler reports that refused to let the "Knoble" spelling die lol.
18:46 Between this and Triple H burying Booker T because of the line “Don’t hate the playa, hate the game!” & somehow people still wonder why Sting waited so long before making his WWE debut.
I know Sid has probably had and is still having a better life than me but I can't help but feel so sorry for him from all stories about him (pooping pants), his mic botches and of course the leg, I just want to give the man a hug and let him know I appreciate everything he's done.
I want to thank you for not showing the clip of the Sid fall. I have seen it many times and is one of the few things to make me sick to my stomach.
@@thebeaver8456 because you know they're not real and probably can survive those type of things. IRL it makes sooooo much horrific because you know what happens
@@djpegao well fuck you too mate. What the did I do to you. Why the hell do you care. What meant in general gore and blood doesn't bother me but broken bones do.( in certain games and movies) just hearing the crunch is maddening. Im also deleting that reply because I don't need another dipshit like you getting butt hurt because of what I said.
Does this count as Snuff?
I was at that ppw. Had forgotten about a lot of the earlier matches. Sid breaking his leg is something I'll never forget. You could hear it snap & knew something really bad happened. After the cameras stopped it was pretty chaotic around the ring with EMT's & the ring crew rushing to get the ropes down. I believe he went to Methodist hospital here. A few years ago a Louisville basketball player had the same kind of compound fracture during the Final Four here. The same Dr that did Sid's surgery did this kids.
I love the classic reviews...the intro music...everything. Keep up the great work man
26:50 Am I the only one: who think " 'the mystery man'," look like a low-budget Jason Voorhees
So, there's boobs, blood, broken bones and the show itself is named Sin. And, they still censor the word "hell". ...Are we sure current day Vince McMahon had nothing to do with this ppv?🤔
"Funk with a flying trash can *right* to Meng's face."
And Meng proceeded to shrug it off like it was nothing because it was nothing.
Bet Meng can no sell an Injustice Super Move lol
You know how some people might wake up and watch cartoons with their breakfast. I wake up every Wednesday morning and watch your vids for breakfast. Easily my favourite UA-camr
The Classic PPV review theme is such a bop. Can't help but dance to it
15:37 "Stack 'em to the Heavens!"
LOVE the Homestar Reference.
Ah yes, Knoebel’s. An amusement park just up the road from Centralia, PA...good childhood memories!
Omg I am so pumped!!!!! I thought this review would never happen!! I was there in person for this trainwreck! Thanks Brian!
Everybody: I never thought to see an Final Fantasy reference on this channel.
Me, an Intellectual: I never imagine Buff Bagwell as a Final Fantasy final boss. I mean a disc one boss, sure. But not THE final boss.
When you say 'disc one boss', you mean in the beginning to middle of disc one, where its just some annoying but harmless goofball aka Leblanc from FFX2? Cuz Buff Bagwell would never qualify as an end of disc one boss.
As you can see, I too am an intellectual.
sin wasnt the last boss
This comment is so self-absorbed and lame
never forget that Vince Russo, a man who claims not to do psychadelic drugs, professed in the year of our lord 2020, that Buff Bagwell had the same charisma as the Rock.
Thank so much for doing this PPV... I was in the crowd .... and my family and I have covid so it's a welcome distraction... thank you so much
Finally a solid rated Shane Douglas match for Brian.
Been watching the old WCW on Peacock, they do not have Sin available. Guessing because of Sid's injury although you mentioned they do not capture it live but I can't think of any other reason. The only other old PPV that is not shown is the unfortunate one involving Owen Hart. Wish I could have seen it but great review.
I've stared at the thumbnail for about 20 seconds and I still don't know what is wearing that Buff Bagwell hat 😂
Sin from final fantasy I knew right away as a final fantasy fan 😂
@@rickyrosay33977 Thanks for clearing that up xD
Sean O'Haire's Sean-ton Bomb was impressive for a guy of his size.
Did you see the top rope backflip where he landed on his feet?
He was a very athletic big man much like the undertaker
Mike Awesome was also a very athletic big man.
@Davinia. Very underrated talent Sean O’Haire was, if it was me I would’ve put him with Hunter and Evolution when he was in WWE.
Sean O'Haire was amazing. It's a damn shame WWE never did anything of note with him.
LOL!! That thumbnail is hilarious! 11/10 Brian. Wonder how many people have no clue who/what that creature is and where it’s from.
Never saw Brian as someone who would like Final Fantasy. Colored me surprised.
By the gods, that's the best damn thumbnail in the history of UA-cam. Well played, sir.

That's awesome that you're gonna cover the last couple WCW PPV. I never watched the dying days of the company so its refreshing to see what I missed before it close its doors.

RIP Sid, shame his career was never the same after what happened on this show
I've always been fascinated by 2001 WCW, so I'm glad this is happening. So many what ifs.

Sid: *snaps leg*
Johnny Ace: Lesnar, DO THE SHOOTING STAR!

"WCW Sin" sounds like a bad "WWE GM More" storyline.
I personally think it sounds more like a bad storyline you would find online in WWE 2k14's create a story mode.
Tony Schiavone revealed on his podcast a while ago that the plan was to have all of the minor PPVs (so excluding SuperBrawl, Great American Bash, Bash at the Beach, Fall Brawl, & Starrcade, I guess?), be named after the Seven Deadly Sins, with Sin itself being the start of it all. Unfortunately, only Greed actually happened (which was way too on-the-nose for WCW's last PPV, I feel), but while the concept is neat I think it would have been really hard to market PPVs named "WCW Gluttony", "WCW Lust", or "WCW Sloth", though I think "WCW Wrath" & "WCW Pride" would have worked.

Hey Brian I know I'm late to the party but nice reference to the Final Fantasy X games here I recognized him when this thumbnail first showed up and he looks good in that Buff Bagwell hat lol.
I didn't realize that Sid injury happened during the main event of a PPV. I thought it was a mid card match on Nitro or something.
I just watched this PPV on Peacock and it was much better than I expected. I'd give it a B-.
As a wrestling fan who’s favorite video game is Final Fantasy X, I love this thumbnail. So thank you Brian Zane 😊😊😊
What do you think about X-2?
I always love your videos Brian but huge shoutout for using Sin from FFX in the thumbnail
