I speak passable Rodman, so allow me to translate. "VADER! Anyone that gets in that cage, their head gets bashed! Bashed big man."
I thought he said anyone who gets in that cage gets head
Yeah I understood that clearly
Rodmanese?? The *Forbidden* Language.....
What scholars taught you such Voodoo??
Babbel lessons really pay off :)
@@HyperFlame64V1Oh No! RODMANESE is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be
Orndorff put Renegade over HUGE this match, such a pro. Watch the end of the match, the crowd was loving Paul. Renegade won, put his hands up, the crowd boos, so Paul barely on camera puts his hands up, the crowd goes nutso. Giving the illusion that Renegade was over. Good work Orndorff
😂 😂 Do you think he meant to?
Watch My 666 Id like to give Mr Wonderful the benefit of the doubt, wouldn’t you?
When Zane replayed Orndoff’s intro in the view, the look on his face said it all of what you were going to expect from that match with the Renegade, he had that look on his face of “I can’t believe that I have to sell and put this MFer over.”
Again, from the moment you come out of the curtain you are telling the story, and if your face says you are gonna lose, guess what you gonna lose.
@@timmylong833 of c
Paul is a consummate professional. I have no doubt he'd do something like that to get someone over for the business.
Whenever Brian talks about someone throwing bad dropkicks, remember, his dad wasn't the booker and he wasn't working Starcade
Meng: Simultaneously one of the nicest and scariest men in wrestling history.
Meng/Haku is one of the men in the wrestling business that you should not mess with
Andre the Giant was afraid of two people, Meng and Harley Race. Think about that.
Michael Bandada indeed. Even though he’s retired, he looks terrifying.
Simon Miller be like: Haku is simultaneously the nicest and scariest man in wrestling, why? Here's why!
**Meng **-slaps-** punches HIS head before going into reasons** :P
There's nothing like a good Meng/Haku story. Simultaneously crazy, terrifying, and awesome.
gotta wonder how many wrestlers went for a swim after they wrestled to cool off.
speedwaynutt I know I would’ve. The few outside shows I did in the summer was hot as hell. They canvas warms up quick.
I reckon around 65%
Probably not many as good chance of getting mobbed
...who the fuck wrestles to cool off?
@@srtallio can't tell if you're joking or are an idiot
One of my favorite Cornette-isms “I don’t mean to speak ill of the dead, but he’s dead and I’m going to speak ill of him” 😂😂
Fuck Cornette.
@@michaelhamilton313 not a fan then
@@michaelhamilton313 For real, the man hates ANYTHING that gets over or makes wrestling profitable. Ultimate Warrior, Sable, Chyna, the Attitude Era, Vince Russo, the Firefly Funhouse and its respective Match, etc. He's a glorified smark and failed promoter who has no clue how to make money in the wrestling business and gets jealous of people who do. Oh, and his act got old in 1995.

@@michaelhamilton313 Same to you! It's refreshing to see a fellow fan who wants to see the pro wrestling BUSINESS actually make money!
I've met Kamala he was one of the nicest guys I've even met, and it breaks my heart what's happened to him. His homemade furniture is really well made. I highly recommend it. Not only is it great but it also helps him out.
Last I heard he was stuck on life support following complications from a fluid-draining surgery.... He still kickin?
@@TeemoQuinton not anymore recently
Rip
I would have been able to meet him, in 2011, but it never got to happen. Kamala had to cancel, because he was getting one of his legs amputated. It's too bad, I wasn't able to see him.
RIP
@@marcohavokkhaos that's certainly a good reason for cancelling, very sad and unfortunate. RIP as you said. I 2nd that.
That Renegade / Orndorff match was pretty grim.
Great video!
My theory on Orndorf getting the cheers ... Much like Hog/Road Wild, this audience could have been made up of casual fans who might have mistaken the good vs bad guy or just cheered based on who appealed most to them. Imagine showing up and seeing Jimmy Hart, known villain for years and years, managing a rip-off of the Ultimate Warrior against a guy who was at times a big time baby face in WWE, and who could clearly wrestle better than his opponent. Optics suggest Orndorf was the face. Just a thought.
a dubious proposition i think. I can't really believe that non-WCW-fans are going to pay admission to go stand in the sand under the hot ass, direct sun for 3-hours in enough numbers to audibly throw off the expected heel/face dynamic. I mean i'm sure as shit not going to go pay $40 to stand in the blistering sun to watch basketball. Not even the globe-trotters.
Another point is this phenomena was only noticed in *this* match. Had they been also booing Jim Duggan and Hulk Hogan in their matches, while cheering harlem heat (notorious heels at the time) and Vader, then maybe, but otherwise Occam's Razor dictates that we just accept the simplest explanation. Which is, as Brian said, people had simply soured on Renegade and were voicing that they just wanted him gone (or repackaged). Good day.
@@maxdecphoenix your argument makes no sense. You’re saying the fans were smart but why would casual fans boo historical baby face hogan or cheer heel Harlem heat? That’s something smart marks would do.
They were cheering for the name they recognized, even chanting his nickname. Also I’m pretty sure the show was papered given the “hundreds of thousands” in attendance which lends to supporting OPs theory.
@@maxdecphoenix There was no admission price. They might have had a VIP area but I'm not sure, but overall, you just went to the beach and grabbed a spot. Free.
@@thescott7539 I doubt it was free I don't see Hogan not wanting his share of the gate
@@maxdecphoenix Jesus fucking christ someone likes the sound of their own voice
Kimberly was so hot.
she was all the way live as they say.
She still is
40 Year Old Virgin ( . )( . )
Can we just call a spade a spade when it comes to the Renegade? He's basically the dollar store version of someone who was already limited in ring to begin with.
Love that you called him “the Meng” for the rest of the match.
The Meng says...
This made me laugh
You can either call him "The Meng" or "sir", whatever you want...just don't piss him off.
As Ric Flair once Said: TO BE THE MENG, YOU HAVE TO BEAT THE MENG!
The Meng faced The Sting.
Lol at Renegade drop kick
Yooo Hannibal
Blood Hunter!! What up!!!
Vaders frog splash was even worse
This is NOT the Ultimate Warrior.
The shoulder pad/mask thing Vader used to wear to the ring was bad ass
If I'm not mistaken, that's a carryover from his Japan days where he was known as the Mastodon
@@thepassingstatic6268 he still had it when he was in the WWF didn't he?
@@thepassingstatic6268 you are mistaken LOL he was never known as the Mastodon. Big Van Vader was the name he got in Japan.
DICK LONG I’d say it’d be a hassle for the TSA guys if Vader were to lug that helmet with him to every hotel room, and stadium in his WWF run.
Danny Hipolitø There was a copyright issue with a movie studio and another masked guy named Vader.
Booker T's shoulders were not touching the mat, that's why Harlem Heat won.
Anthony Rivera I was about to say the same thing. If the small of booker’s back were on him, thus leaving his shoulders on the mat, then the Nasty’s would have the dominant pin
But surely Booker wasn’t the legal man in the match, so still shouldn’t have picked up the win..
2rare2die100 yeah, who were the legal participants at the end of the match? Obviously regal was one of them, but was booker t the legal man
Quick question: did the WWE Network version of this PPV not include the vignette of the Blue Bloods visiting Hollywood?
Imagine if Heenan woulda stayed at WWF, and Jerry The King was WCW’s color commentator. Probably would’ve been the best ever commentary combo, JR and Bobby “The Brain” Heenan.
🤔 🤔 🤔 In an alternate universe
Heenan did do commentary with JR in WWF
JR and Heenan were not a good commentary team. They just did not gel. JR was better than Tony Schiavone, but Schiavone and Heenan made a much better team. Schiavone and Ventura were a also better team than Ross and Ventura.
Sorry I should’ve been more specific I meant during the Monday night Wars period, I agree that PC Version, JR and Brain wasn’t great, but if they were together during the Monday night wars period, I believe that with the mic freedom they would’ve been given as commentators from Vince, who respected both men immensely, they could have resulted in the greatest commentary duo. Nothings a certainty, but I just think that pairing at that time could’ve been great
@@davesmith4839 Highly doubt that, with what we have seen of the JR/Heenan team, the mic freedom would be go over but with time the chemistry would gel together and form something good.
People constantly talk about Sturgis and the Spring Break Nitros when it comes to awesome and unique locations... This one constantly gets overlooked.
True, and it's probably because they only did it once
@@joenintendo A D+ is way too hard on this show. It was fun.
Sadly the Gate at Sturgis and the spring breaks are pretty much 0$
@@JulioHernandez-wy8nh just like this one too
@@BigBadJerryRogersYeah. Every WWE Show Since 2018 Should’ve Gotten D Or F. And So Many Shows From 2008-2018. And Some Shows From 2006-2008.
We should get college credit for that tag title match explanation
5:54 POCKET SAND! Also, Sherri knew how to dress when she was the valet for Harlem Heat.
She always had style 😁
Sherri fit with Harlem Heat. If a wrestler is meant to look intimidating, she works the aesthetic. Like she fit with Randy Savage, who looked so intense all the time. I don't think she and Shawn Michaels worked too well since he wasn't meant to be "intimidating".
Sherri Martel has a very sexy
Sherri Martel look like butt
Sherri Martel is purple Harlem Heat is beautiful dress.
I always loved the logo for Beach Blast/Bash at the Beach. Who doesn't find a wave flexing cool?
Important note is that this is the first time WCW did a steel cage match where you could "escape the cage" to get the win. That had been a WWF standard, but WCW always had their cage matches end with pinfall or submission. The reason for the change is that Vader refused to do a pinfall job for Hogan, because Hogan refused to do the same for Vader when it was proposed they exchange wins to keep the feud going.
Of course. Hogan man.
Hogan was so selfish man, he rob us out alot good wrestling because his ego
How about a classic PPV review on Over the Edge 1999. To give those of us more insight on the tragedy that was Owen Hart's death, if that can be done.
Also, RIP Bobby Heenan.
There’s actually not much about his death that hasn’t been covered.
I was there when it happened, he fell head hit the turnbuckle cameras went off to clear the ring. After that cameras came back on and they finished the PPV while later in the show announcing his death.
@@christopherlemp Ouch. But it would be nice to hear Brian talk about it
If you want to hear about Owen's death and the aftermath of it, The Grilling Podcast did a whole episode about it. If you're interested, give it a listen man
@@heisensaul5538 Is that up on UA-cam???
Yes, I think it is, but in parts. Check out his official grilling JR website. The whole thing is there if you want to listen
Renegade not being able to work only adds to the authenticity when they where trying to pass him off as the Ultimate Warrior..
Renegade's drop kicks were just standing Claymore Kicks before their time
The renagade was a Warrior rip off and the crowd knew it
Stevie wonder knew that 😂
I also recommend watching Kento Bento's video about Collision in Korea
Totally belongs on the Network.
You think it would at least be a Hidden Gems item. By the way I haven't found the Hidden Gems collection since the renovations last month. They'd be fools to get rid of it.
@@thekidfromiowa probably just because it is half NJPW and might not have the rights to use it since it was WCW and NJPW

The Backers are true Heroes.
Meng no-selling? One of the more realistic moments of the night
The Tongans and Samoans are pretty tough folk
Alex Decourville Sadly, WCW never used Meng right. He had to lose clean to Sting in back to back PPV’s.
@@travismcdonald6576 Yeah, knowing that man's legendary toughness, it's a shame he wasn't a bigger deal. Kinda surprising too

“Sting vs The Meng 2, Mang” Razor Voice
Renegade late Rick Wilson was way over his head here pushed too fast.
Sting and The Meng,
Oh it makes me want to sing!
When I see them in the ring,
It's such a wonderful thing!
Just because he's dead doesn't mean that absolves him of how bad he was, and he was BAD.
There's a LOT of dead guys on this show. Who are u talking about?
@@southbeachtalent Renegade aka Mr Zero Stars
Lol no doubt. Sometimes it pays off when you push a guy who's green as fuck. (Goldberg) Renegade is on the other side of that. Personally, even as a kid I hated Goldberg and wished they'd just give that push to a more deserving wrestler. WCW was def big enough at the time to make that work. It's just a shame when you see what happened to the man playing Renegade. He was put in a position to completely fail, and it really wasn't his fault. In sensible, non cocaine enhanced booking, he comes up as a low card babyface while learning how to work. In the process he can find a character and gimmick that works for him. There's literally not one wrestler in the world that could've gotten over as a fake Ultimate Warrior. I mean, FREAKING KANE was a joke playing a fake character before he found his calling
Don't be a dick
southbeachtalent at least Goldberg had charisma, and when Goldberg was put against certain wrestlers, Goldberg could be carried to a good match. The renegade was way worse, he even dragged arn Anderson into a zero star match. Nothing against the renegade, it true is sad what happened to him, but he was incredibly bad
Hogan should've dropped the belt to Vader and then chase him for the title, but.... That won't work for him, Brother!
Well, Flair didn't do it either, why should Hogan do it?!?!
But what about the Youth Center Brother.
@@weworldwide1348Hmm? 🤔.
This was my first WCW pay per view. Living in the UK, we didn't get much WCW. I watched it on the German sports channel DSF through my Sky box. 😂
Very embarrassing watching wcw on dsf as a kid when all the ad breaks were for phone sex lines
@@Christopherthomas587 as a 12 year old it was very surreal. 😂
would be cool to see Over The Edge 99, with thoughts and insight on the Owen Hart tragedy. Awesome Channel. Keep up the good work!!
Tommy Fries disagree
@@timmylong833 okay. why?
Tommy Fries We all know the story, why should we all get depressed over something horrible? I’m pretty sure Brian doesn’t feel the necessity of covering it all over again. If you need more of this tragedy just type in Owen’s name.
I think Brian might find that show a little taboo, although who knows, never say never and all that. I'd actually like to see a short top 8s vid of shows and stories Brian wouldn't do, over the edge 99, bruiser brody murder etc..
@@timmylong833 agreed, although I can't remember much of the rest of the show. Except Jeff Jarrett had to wrestle next having just seen the dead body of his best friend wheeled past him backstage 😭
Your classic ppv reviews are one of the things I look forward to the most every week. Mad love.
14:40 the 24/7 championship was won that way when the dogpile happened and the kanellis era took over (for a week or 2).
My god Sherri was beautiful
Matt Jost she was, and so was Kimberly
Mean Gene's comment about last seeing Rodman in a bathroom at the Detroit Airport is a dig at him because before he became a star in the NBA, Rodman was a custodian at the Detroit Airport.
Love the aesthetic of the arena, I always like an entirely different atmosphere for wrestling shows.
I wish they would do more of these settings
I always love to see DDP on W³ cuz I'm always eager to hear Brian's DAIMON CATTERRRR
You FINALLY got to do '95 👍 good on ya mate. love this channel
Next week: four Savio matches in one night and Mabel becomes King. The New Generation truly blessed us :)
Two weeks!
@@heisenberg9240 yeah sorry, I meant two weeks. I was just excited he's doing KOTR 95 lol
Its all good! He sometimes needs to do them weekly but hes a very busy guy!
That was the highlight of Savio Vega WWF career
@@godfather71190 between his run in the 1995 KOTR tournament and his feud with Steve Austin the next year I would say his peak was 1995-1996.
I love working patrol on Thursday...I put on W3 classic ppv videos and listen to them as I drive around looking for evil doers.
Christopher Kirby evil doers lol love it. Be safe out there
6:41 Good lord, Erik Watts would look down on that drop kick.
shit, renegade was so bad, he made erik watts look like curt henning.
Thanks for bringing the younger wrestler fan out of me! Idgaf what people think I love wrestling!
Props to the Renegade, that work was one of the best impressions of Warrior's I've ever seen. I like to think that Renegade was actually a fantastic worker, he's just intentionally shitty to emulate Warrior
Why hasn’t Wwe used a beach for summerslam? It’s a no-brainer.
Safety issue/ normally don't use beach venues
Because Vince is from New York 😎
@@srtallio and coneie island has a beach does that not count?
@@zacharyrodriguez4348 you can't always count on the weather 😊
can't sell tickets for that.
Vader(leon white) was very athletic for a big man he could move and the moonsault he used to do was crazy
Only one of booker T’s shoulder was on the mat there fore He wasn’t pinned. And saggs sat on booker T not the blue blood. Booker T was on Blue blood giving The Harlem Heat the win
They also did the New Age Outlaws shtick with Kofi and Big E at a SummerSlam. It was allowed apparently, but I think Cesaro broke it up.
Orndorff had a terrific career and was a legend; I'm not surprised that the fans showed respect and cheered him. This crowd might seem more like casual fans, but I guess there were enough there that respected wrestling history and the role Mr. Wonderful played in it.
I actually really like that Kevin Sullivan’s ring gear and jacket are red and yellow where as hulk always wore yellow and red, as if Sullivan is his evil counterpart or his polar opposite, it’s subtle and I like that.
Dennis Rodman was a national treasure during this time
For you basketball fans out there, this is a couple of months prior to Rodman being traded to the Bulls. He was still a Spur at this point.
Someone needs to recommend Breakdown: In Your House 1998!
The night where Mr McMahon won against Stone Cold by unveiling his master plan: put him in a triple threat match against Kane and the Undertaker with the brothers forbidden from pinning each other. They pinned Austin and the title got vacated and Vinnie Mac exits the arena, goes for his limo while flipping the patented Stone Cold salute
This is also the night we heard the Rock get heavily cheered for the 1st time on ppv
Dang...I was looking at Parker's reaction to the move...Meng botched that joint (suplex). Then it looks like Sting gave Meng a receipt with that "ass drop" .Then Meng came back with that weird high kick out of the corner. Lol Meng is rough.
I think the Outlaw rule started off with the Outsiders. (Hall and Nash)
Not the New Age Outlaws. 1 week before. But please check it out.
When you search “they has fight” this is the top result...but Zane never says “they has fight” in this video :(
Yeah, I was looking for that. Which video is it on?
Love it. This was the very first show I was allowed to watch live, in it's entirety. I knew of Sting, Hogan and Vader from my uncle's magazines, and Savage and Flair were in the Royal Rumble video game, so getting to watch these guys I'd read about and see there was more than one company out there was pretty cool.
And I'm pumped for KotR, which is the first ppv I saw completely, albeit on tape two days later. I look forward to seeing what Brian has to say about this one lol
You know what I don't understand...Meng is a wrestling legend in and outside the business. They talk about this guys feats of strength like he's a real life Hercules. Why didn't they use that in his story lines?! And actually have him you know... tossing around the biggest guys in the business...imagine him bear hugging Yokozuna for 5 minutes straight with Yokozunas feet off the ground. Imagine him suplexing Andre the Giant. Imagine him gorilla pressing Earthquake and Tug Boat at the same time! Or doing a feat of strength match with the chain against Hercules or The Ultimate Warrior except Meng just rips the chain to pieces with his bear hands. WTF?!?!?!!!! Imagine him in a Royal Rumble waiting until everyone is in the ring...then he just hops out and body slams the entire ring and everyone's all "MENG! MENG! MENG! MENG! MENG!!!!!!"
I guess booker t’s shoulders weren’t on the mat? It’s a bad finish.
VINCE RUSSO: Bro, I wouldn't have even booked that finish. I'd book somethin totally diffren bro!"
Orndorff got revenge later that year when he beat Renegade in under two minutes on Main Event.
BIG JIM SLADE!........Brought to you by Slim Jim!
I've been really enjoying watching these classic PPV reviews as of late. They're very well done, are always insightful and also give a good lesson on the history of pro-wrestling. Great stuff!
I would rather have a Triple Threat, tornado tag, no Disqualification, no Countout, TLC Title match for the tag team titles.
That seque into the hacksaw interview made me lol
I was at this event. It was a long, crazy hot day in OC. I want to say this was WCW's first show ever in Orange County, and possibly the first of two (there was a Nitro in Irvine in 2000 I believe). So this wasn't a hotbed for WCW and while there were a few die hards, I think for the most part that many of the people there were more interested in the fact there was this big event on the beach as opposed to the actual matches. Of course they knew the big names like Hogan, Savage and Flair (WWF/E ran Anaheim frequently and in fact my first live WWF event was headlined by a Hogan/Flair main event).
I was a fan of outdoor events. I was also at WrestleMania IX.
WCW held a house show in Anaheim in October 1994 at the old convention center. Hogan vs Flair was the main event.
Who does 4 stars when 5 is normal?
I don’t know if this is a naive take but it feels like they didn’t even try to teach the renegade to wrestle. He was clearly trying in the ring and even great wrestlers couldn’t get good matches out of him. It seems like he just flat out didn’t know how to do it.
That can't wrestle stuff by renegade was on purpose. He was a ultimate warrior clone and like ultimate warrior who couldn't wrestle either. Renegade doing promos that make absolute no sense
Didn’t the New Day try to pin each other at Mania awhile back? some match with Kid and Cesaro and another team
I was here.. I was 14.. a spectator threw sand in one of the Harlem heats face I remember it being booker t.. but very well could have been Stevie Ray ...the match actually stopped for a bit while they caught and threw out the culprit.. I also realized this will never be seen cause I'm commenting on a years old video. But it fucked that match all up.. and yeah that's why it was terrible
Jesus! That drop by Sting was close to being dangerous. You could tell he angled it wrong and shifted his weight not to slam down full force on Meng's head.
I think they full understood how once-in-a-lifetime that Orndorf being there was.
If it was an on-the-fly match, backstage might have decided that the title wouldn't change hands, so then came the BS finish.
I always enjoy seeing unique venues as the setting of a wrestling event. When the venue has unique look instead of the cookie cutter arenas, it makes everything stand out. And a beach, was definitely unique.
The Renegade... Stinking up matches since 1995.
Not sure you can say since if he stopped doing anything a few years later.
By this time, we hated Renegade. Especially those of us that were marks for Warrior. It totally blew up in WCW's collective face.
I hate the spot at 5:46 so much. It's just so nonsensical and retarded, even by wrestling standards. WWE used to do it a lot too, mostly as a kind of "hope spot" in their tag matches, and thankfully I don't think I've ever seen it used in a match since the mid-2000s. Rest in Piss, "Flying Nothing Off the Top Rope Into a Raised Boot".
I remember renting this on VHS from blockbuster when I was like 10 years old, been waiting on Brian to reveiw it, thanks man!
Great Review Brian Zane 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😄😄😄😄😄😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😃😃😃😃😃😃😃🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😄😄😄😄😄😄
i like wcw bash at the beach i November hulk hogan turns heel with Diesel and Razor Ramon The Outsiders no more yellow and red hulkamania coming black and white colors of nwo at bash the the beach 1996 one year ago after 1995
ever took a bump on a mat surfaced with fine sand? you hate yourself after that. thats why no wrestler longs for wrestling at an actual beach. the sandthrow by paul orndorff might not have made him more loved by the boys :-D
If Paul orndoff were wrestling today he would be over as hell... I always thought he should have been a world champion outside of the territories..
That The Meng was one tough The guy.
Already looking forward to your next ppv review, I remember king of the ring 95 being one of the first shows I was dissatisfied with, the first being survivor series 94. Mabel beating Undertaker in the first round.. smh
I think I saw the Baywatch ep after the Hogan heel turn.
Me too bro..
Renegade showed a lot of improvement, and was pretty good by the time he got fired.
Who's better than Michael spikes from new York City answer is no body 😂
Never seen anyone drop kick an opponent's shin lol...all in fun Brian.
Also, I thought the Tag Team title match was an elimination match. How did Harlem Heat win without eliminating Nasty Boyz? What a hot mess.
So since they're on the beach which is a public place did they actually sell tickets or was anybody allowed to just stand around and watch?
Breezy free. Bischoff notes on his podcast this and Road Wild are meant for the aesthetic. Which I think is effective.
@@robertpeacock894 cool. Thanks!
WCW putting Renegade in matches against Arn and then even having Mr. Wonderful dust off his wrestling boots, was WCW's last ditch efforts to get something out of Renegade. It's pretty plain to see they were using him as channel surfing bait. Back in '95 you would just mindlessly flip thru the channels. So with WWE (WWF at the time) being in and out of the Ultimate Warrior business at the time, what better way to have viewers stop on your show then to make them wonder if they just saw Warrior while flipping thru. But them going to Orndorff for this spot tells you all you need to know. Orndorff was the guy teaching new up and coming wrestlers at the power plant. Him needing to have a match with Renegade tells you how things were going at this point. I also think Paul was getting the cheers due to him not having wrestled in so long, but also from a nostalgic standpoint. He was a big deal as a heel (hey that rhymes!) back in the early days of Hulkamania running wild! I'm sure people in the crowd were feeling that.
Yeah renegade sucked!! But I miss those beach wcw shows.
Why is it hard to do an outside match: nature. First it could rain - so they have to do it with wildly known sunny weather. Then, anyone who ever worked outside knows how much more difficult it is to work in hot weather. Next, add how much more additionally draining working in the direct sun. Lastly, it must be more difficult to produce good video bc of the changing shadows caused by the movement of the sun.
I know this comment comes a year late, but out of all the old school wrestlers I've met, Hacksaw was the nicest most welcoming person I've ever met. Great dude
Hard to look at Orndorff and his right arm after his accident. Just unsettling.
He's the man called Meng. The man called Meng!!!!
Between this show and the next one to review, Zane is really gonna go nuts for our entertainment!
The Meng says Know Your Role and *AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!*
Dennis Rodman went to the Ahmed Johnson school of promos.
