    I was there live as a fan at WrestleMania X8! I was seen holding a Shut Up Angle sign during when Kurt Angle was cutting a promo before his match with Kane. Then after Mania, I flew back home from Toronto to Charlotte NC and I was 2 seats behind The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young God rest their souls. When we land in Charlotte, they went on a flight to Columbia SC and we were on a flight to Greenville SC. What an experience! I still have those signature folding chairs with the Wrestle Mania X8 cushions on them.

    One of the things that I think adds to the excitement of the Rock/Hogan match (and doesn’t get talked about) was whether or not Hogan was going to put over the Rock. I remember at the time people debating whether Hogan was going to come in and put over the younger guys or would it be business as usual. So every false finish was more exciting because there was an element of “will he or won’t he”.

To say the wwf crowd wasn't into it is ridiculous. The wwf crowd was a mixture of both brands. Especially after Vince absorbed the competition. They turned DDP into a stalker? No....he was buried cause Vince didn't like him. But he felt the pressure to bring him in, either that or he wanted to bring him in for the purpose of burying a wcw guy. Whatever the case....anyone can see why DDP didn't work in wwf.

    The DDP argument from Bruce is total BS. Go back and watch his debut and Raw and tell me with a straight face that WWF fans didn’t know who DDP was. The guy was a top name and over. What killed him was saddling him with a stalker gimmick (despite being married to Kimberly Page), claiming he wanted to be famous (despite already being famous), and jobbing to Taker and his wife for months with literally no offense in there matches what so ever.

    • @ZakynthosDiamandis

      nWo also got big pops (even when fueding with Rock and Austin) but again, Prichard claims WWF fans didn't want to know. Vince turned them into boring, basic heels that just got beat and ran away all the time and put them in storylines that went nowhere.

  • @walterforgern2211
    @walterforgern2211 2 роки тому +2

    The way Big Show did imitate DDP later and make fun of him is probably how WWE fans looked at him. There was something about DDP that didn't seem genuine. He was more laid back in WCW but when he joined WWE it was said he suggested a people's vs people's champion match against the Rock. Not only had his peak been over for years at that time but even I who watched Nitro regularly at its peak couldn't remember his people's champ gimmick. The Rock was on another level and about to leave for Hollywood while DDP thought it was 1998 again

    • @KaNCeRmm4life
      @KaNCeRmm4life 2 роки тому

      It wasn't like how the rocks "people's champ" was, like rock would call himself that in his promos and everything was the people's elbow and people's eyebrow etc.. "the people's" was completely apart of his gimmick, where DDP was the people's champion in that, he'd celebrate in the crowd after the match and he was an everyman type guy.. he referred to himself as the people's champ from time to time but it always was more like he's one of us, he's a man of the people, and the rock did it for the adulation of the people

In hindsight, HHH needed to be boosted in 2002. Have nWo show up after the Rumble--let them ruin a mainevent match for Jericho. He could look strong by challenging the entire nWo and defending his title on Raw. Let Nash take the belt(s) from him & drop the to HHH at the main event of mania 18. Rock vs Hogan. Hall vs Austin. HHH vs Nash. Could've easily added big show, xpac and Mr perfect to the nWo for that mainia.. Angle vs Perfect & Xpac/BigShow vs Acolytes for a tag title match.. keeps everyone happy. Frees up Jericho and Kane to have other matches that night too.. If Poppa Pump was cleared he could've also been added to the nWo invasion

  • @jasonmills4167
    @jasonmills4167 2 роки тому

    Concerning DDP and why he didn't "get over," it's curious to me that Bruce - who has told us in previous casts that the wrestling audience crossed over from WCW to WWF and back (ratings) would think that the audience wasn't familiar with DDP and his character. From what I saw from the people I knew - we knew who he was. We all watched both programs. Some liked one better than another, but we knew who was who and what was what. What WAS perplexing to us, the audience was when DDP - a guy who had been an underdog good guy - ripped off his hood revealing himself as a stalker - a bad guy move if ever there was one. Listening to the live audience - they knew him as well. The pop he got even as a revealed stalker was huge. So why then didn't his WWF character get over? I don't think it had anything to do with a guy who embraced whatever was thrown at him by the WWF to such a degree that he cut a promo about how he was ready to go to the next level upon the folding of WCW and who opted to not ride out his contract and get paid for doing nothing. I do suspect it had a lot to do with some really crappy writing and really bad booking. Just a stab in the dark though.

    I don't get Bruce's perspective of the fans not buying DDP. Watch DDP's debut in WWF; the roof blew off. Most fans I'd wager knew who he was. That's why Jericho's debut was crazy. That's why the Radicalz were crazy popular upon debut. And I haven't watched recently, but I feel like fans popped over Booker T's KOTR 2001 debut. So many fans had dreams of WWF v WCW rivalries and matches, which they had because they watched both shows.
    I also think it's contradicting himself as he'll say, based on the ratings decline in 2001/2002, that there really weren't as many fans as the ratings indicated since much of the numbers between the two were people switching between both programs, which means people know who DDP is if they were also watching WCW.

  • @KaNCeRmm4life

    Ok, no, Bruce don't get a pass for that DDP bologna he just spewed.. to say WWF fans didn't know ddp is a total lie or complete ignorance of your own fans.. we 100% knew who DDP was, WCW had less than a handful of guys who we as WWF die hards respected, and that was DDP, Sting and Booker, later Scott Steiner.. where we made fun of Goldberg, flair and hulk were old, luger was whack, and razor and diesel were our guys at heart still... The creative was the problem with DDP hands down, and not even that it was bad, because it actually was an interesting storyline, and obviously Bruce doesn't watch their own programs cause the crowd went nuts when the lights come on and the mask came off revealing DDP.. but then.. undertaker beats the shit out of him like he's a scrub J Brone, he never gets any wins or offense... we wanted to see the working mans people's champ DDP, not this character that actually should of gone to Dustin Rhodes...DDP plays it very well, he is believable and has little nuances he'd do like lick his teeth when he'd see Sarah.. the fans didn't wanna see John Wayne play a lacky to the bad guys... Had DDP come in as DDP Babyface man of the people with all his swag and coolness in tact and maybe have Him and Booker be that first title match instead of buff, let DDP win the wcw title and then have him and heel Austin feud, then we could a got behind it..but to sit here and say DDP didn't bring it to the role or that the fans didn't know him is a slap in the face..

    Stephanie was hardly so featured because she 'was such a strong character'.
    She was featured, because Daddy says 'sell'.
    And Chris Jericho got buried.

    Bruce loves to hang on to the WWE fans didn’t know WCW guys cop out. Plenty of people knew of both, I know back in the day people would watch one and record the other and watch later on, not everyone was a one side or the other fan. If that’s the case why the fuck did you bring Flair in with the Big Gold belt?
    Imagine if WCW had that logic “nah fuck Nash and Hall WCW fans don’t know em”.
    Dur WWE fans didn’t know the NWO even though their shirts were everywhere, they were massive in pop culture Dur

    The world title main event was destined to be a flop. HHH had been on the record in the passed bashing Canadians in general, and many believed at the time, later confirmed, that he had a hand in the Montreal screwjob. Even with how poorly they booked Jericho, none of the Canadians in the skydome wanted to see Hunter win over a fellow Canadian.

    As a Triple H fan, I felt screwed in this show. It was Hunter’s time to main event the show and cap off the emotional come back with a World Title win, and all anyone ever talks about, & rightfully so, is Rock vs Hogan. Triple H would have a chance to repay the favor to Rock when he stole the show with “End of an Era” vs The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell @ Wrestlemania XXVIII. It’s sad that Triple H had to shutdown his career without a final sendoff match. Hopeful

      @@jackwei22 Who said anyone is bigger than Austin or Rock? The “biggest guy” doesn’t always win…if so Austin would have 1 title run and no one else would have ever won during his 3:16 ERA. HHH was a pillar of the Attitude Era…Undertaker, Rock, Austin, Mankind…those were the top guys…all of them had title runs…why? Because you have to change up the story and different people have to win.

    Prichard isn't fooling anyone. Jericho was (purposely) overshadowed by Stephanie, the whole angle was horrible and every one knows it.
    Also Bruce claiming they were trying to get DDP over, yet moments later laughing at Booker T's expense for the Japanese shampoo commercial storyline. They were burying WCW stars. It was blatant and disgusting, not to mention, shortsighted. WWF again burning money.
    Lastly, Bruce's impression of Scott Hall sounds like a young Stu Hart? Definitely not his best.

    Austin would have wrestled circled around Hogan, even in 2002. Hulk couldnt keep up with Steve in the ring, no way. And the crowd would never turn on Austin like they did Rocky. Austin never sold out like Rock did. X8 was what it was, but Steve deserved better than a mid card match with Hall. They should have put him with Angle cuz of their history and made it for the title. Jericho was not a champion or booked like one. I also love that people were walking out during HHHs big comeback. Love it. Couldnt happen to a nicer guy!

    • @jackwei22

      The Rock never sold out the WWE as they let his contract run down on purpose with no contact with him for renewal as the company claims it was a clerical error which is bollocks. Would Austin with his Superman booking be able to accept that crowd turning on him and would he put Hogan over if they ever had a match sometime both political Characters them two.

    Flair and Undertaker tore the house down, my favorite moment, was when Undertaker sits up from the Figure 4, both look at each other, great moment. The Best match of the night. Hogan vs Rock is soo Overrated, Match quality sucked, I never liked Hogan, I didn't really care about Rock at this time, so it hurts my reviewing of this match, it's that hard to watch.
