Almost 30 years ago i ordered this Survivore series, got in trouble because i was 9- or 10😂 then i orederd the Royal Rumple and got our cable cut off for awhile😂😂 RIP and Grandma❤
I did sort of miss it when Survivor Series moved away from Thanksgiving. That was kind of the reward as a kid for going to school non-stop since August. You get a four day weekend, you get to see family, see Santa, and stay up late and watch Survivor Series.
It was funny how Diesel had his hair braided in the back for this match dropping the belt to bret.....you could see on Diesel attitude but shit he couldnt sell
I remember doing odd jobs, like mowing lawns, etc, just to afford to buy this on VHS, for a whopping 39.95, plus tax! No regerts though. I LOVED this show! You could really feel the tone of the company, shifting. Also, I really enjoyed the Wild Card match. They didn't provide much backstory or context, but it was a lot of fun!
I was ringside for this event. It was awesome! Watching Bret go through that table and just the whole event period was hands down a great PPV. I feel this Survivor Series gets glossed over a lot.
When Diesel walks down the steps to get Bret after he goes through the table. You can see me at the ringside rail putting my thumbs up towards him as he's coming down.
I got this show for free live on accident from my cable company! My neighbor must have ordered and I got it by mistake hahaha! Got to see the Bert vs Diesel classic.
Have Bruce and Conrad done a show covering the WWE Career of Mick Foley i feel like that would be something to cover in the future if it hasn't been covered already
Foley is the unsung hero who definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves from the current Hunter/Stephanie regime. Mick is a certified legend and will always be #3 to Rock and Austin. Not bad company to be in. The dude sacrificed his body and brain to entertain the fans during the most popular period in the business. Mick deserves his due. Guys like Hunter and Rocky would have never had the runs they had without Foley putting them over every night. Long live Mankind!
Stooge Prichard is a conman, fraud and liar. Dave has exposed and owned him multiple times. You're the epitome of an internet smark for thinking you know better than Dave.
@@tomseville2345 I've heard that it was Mable that injured him. I believe it was in a Kevin Nash shoot interview. Regardless, I loved the phantom look.
Enjoyed listening to this, because you get a bit of insight into what Bill Watts did and wanted to do. Plus, it lets you know how much Bruce clearly doesn’t like Watts 😂
Love the way Bruce lies his ass off. We all know what happened 99% of the time, but he still has to besmirch anyone who questions the WWE or his bottom HHH
This was a great Survivor Series 1995. It did feel like WWF was in a transitional place with this pay per view. The reason why cause this was the first Survivor Series on a Sunday instead of Thanksgiving Night or Thanksgiving Eve. I was thumbs up about this pay per view too for the same reason as Bruce. Bret and Diesel was match of the year for me. It told a great story. The Wild card was useless as a 2 dollar bill. It felt like Bill Watts was thrown shit to the wall to see what stook to get those stars that need a match to have match plain and simple.
Goldust, like the Undertaker is one of those gimmicks that most people would failed at, but the people to whom it was given made it their own and absolutely nailed it. I mean describe to someone the Goldust character, and then be amazed how good Dustin was to get it over.
I really loved the bill clinton impersonator at this event. It was actually hilarious and I laugh more now then I was a kid. Totally random but funny stuff
Austin vs. Bigelow during the Attitude era would have been badass, or am I just high? Also, a "Jerry Seinfeld" character in the WWF would have been awesome!
A good survivor series as a kid I would have never thought the ratings were bad I love wrestling @ this time the main event with Bret & diesel was great especially the end of the match
I like how Bruce goes on rants about Meltzer. And he was hot about Meltzer saying WWE was high on Aja Kong. Saying the WWE wasn't interested in using her. Yet on this show she eliminated most of the woman in the match. And was the sole survivor. Yet they weren't interested in using Kong. Okay Bruce.
I was actually at this one! Totally and completely forgettable, except for Bret vs Diesel. But Bret vs Diesel was 100% worth it. Bret's spill to the outside looked brutal in person and Diesel's limp at the end of the match was very convincing.
@@MattSingh1 Yep, you got it, Dave. Hey, by the way, this one guy told me he heard from another guy that this one guy told another guy that some guy said something. Make sure you print that, Dave.
But it was his last PPV match, just like the Boss man in Royal Rumble 93, Boss man had a few matches afterwards against Doink, Damian Demento and Berserker, but he was gone in a few months and didn't even had a match at WrestleMania at Cesar's Palace
Of all the guys in the clique and the issues with Bret it's funny that this is Kevin's best match, Waltman has said many times his favourite match was with Bret and Shawn's best/biggest match was wrestlemania 12
Or you could see it as Bret and Shawn stopped the company from sinking completely and it could have been WCW who bought out WWF before the attitude era ever started
The only difference in Meltzer and anybody on UA-cam that give their opinions on matches is that he came along in the 80s when nobody was doing it and you had to write for the magazine. I have no clue why people including Conrad care so much about what Meltzer thinks. He's a great historian, but I don't care about his opinion on the matches.
Just listened to a Nash interview talking about the Cliq and how they made some of their own hype by coming in early to an arena and putting a sign on the locker room door saying CLIQ like the office did it
Bruce getting angry about Aja being prepared for a push because he thinks its Meltzers imagination.... Alundra vs Aja was on the cards to the point the WWF Magazine listed it in their preview of the Rumble PPV, printed ahead of time. And JR has confirmed that was the plan. It's unfortunate to believe that just because Meltzer reports the plan, its always an assumption, when sometimes company literature exists to prove that he was right.
There's an old WWF magazine previewing Blayze vs Kong at the 96 Royal Rumble. Strange how Bruce was there but his retroactive account doesn't tally with the evidence. It's almost like he's lying or talking out of his arse.
Vincent Verona panicked a lot, which is why i couldn’t shut it off... very embarrassing the Church has services in Spanish which is why i was listening to the podcast I couldn’t understand what was going on anyway... then Brother Loveeeee cuts an epic promo lol
Prichard is either not remembering accurately or is just full of it because 100% Alundra Blayze vs Aja Kong was advertised in the WWF magazine for the 1996 Royal Rumble so that clearly WAS the plan. Blayze had done her feud with Bertha Faye by that point and it was clear by the Aja Kong booking of her as sole survivor and steamrolling her opponents in her 2 RAW matches following Survivor Series.
Aja Kong WAS the one WWF was going with against Alundra Blayze. I recall the Rumble match being advertised and then quietly dropped. Bruce just lost a lot of credibility with me.
I thought that Conrad was a humble guy, had that vibe, but after his opening statement talking about men's privates, I'm shocked. WWF used to be family friendly. 18+ content.
Okay but here's where you lose me Bruce. You guys ROUTINELY brought in talent who legitimately couldn't speak the language, or had gimmicks that indicated such. Not only brought them in, but had them on top either chasing titles or holding them. So where's the logic in the argument that a female wrestler, who by your OWN ADMISSION was skilled in the ring, was passed over and "didn't make sense" because of an inability to communicate? Why not just give her a manager/mouth piece like you guys did for so many others? I'm not trying to be difficult here, I'm honestly just confused as to why that wasn't an option. Was it just an issue of women's wrestling still being seen as mostly a "special attraction" match ala Moolah, similar to what the Lord Littlebrook's of the past had been, so you guys didn't think the wrestling audience of the era would have accepted a female wrestler being presented with a manager? That would have required some pretty decent "screen time" in order to get her over that way, so was it an issue of being afraid "the boys" would have a problem with potentially having their own matches cut/shortened to free up that time/space? Again, really not trying to be a Karen here, I've been a wrestling fan as far back as I can remember (I'm 32), and have been fascinated by the psychology and theory and logic of booking/promoting, and I'd really just like to be able to understand this better.
If a PPV has Skip, Rad Radford, Barry Horowitz, Savio Vega, Pig Farmer, Isaac Yankem, a terrible group of woman and Ahmed Johnson on it… it stinks. This was not the exception to that rule.
Survivor Series seems to always come through with a classic main event, or big time storyline that carries over thru Rumble and sometimes longer. But I’ve always thought the “classic” Survivor Series matches are terrible. Once in awhile it works and makes sense like the invasion storyline in 01, or a few other scenarios but every single year and multiple survivor series type matches on the card is just overdone and was pretty terrible back then. Definitely the worst of the big 4 PPVs
It might have been his best match but Diesel can’t put on a clinic, I’m sorry, even with Brett calling the match. I could never figure out the hype about Diesel because he would get gassed after 3 minutes and back then as a babyface he couldn’t promo either.
@Vincent Verona You made a good point yourself . wrestling in 1995 was terrible all the way around . I feel it was because most fans of the day [1995] had grown up since the Wrestling hey day of the 80's . both WWF and WCW were doing outdated gimmicks and storylines for young kids . the wrestling audience had moved on and wanted real and fresh . that is why most fans of the era gravitated towards workers like HBK and the Hitman . of course I am no expert and can be totally wrong . have a great week .

@Chris Terry well we have to disagree on that lol
@Chris Terry But 1994 was better. I also liked the 1993 one with Owen telling his mother to throw in the towel good stuff
I like the wild card, sometimes you dont need a story for a wrestling match. Nice being different
That not true. Most of them had stories going into the match. Whether it's a raw vs smackdown story or just a story between captains. Theres usually a reason.

YES! I've been saying the same thing.

Foley is the unsung hero who definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves from the current Hunter/Stephanie regime. Mick is a certified legend and will always be #3 to Rock and Austin.

Does anyone think differently? I figured most people stopped watching after the WCW buyout and horrible Invasion.
