What a day this was for me. Literally my 12th birthday, my dad took me and a bunch of my friends to a sports bar that was playing it. Got to watch it live. It was one of the best birthdays ever.
Back when parents would smoke around kids for hours, have a few drinks , drive home no seat belts, dad maybe let ya sit on his lap and steer, and drink your coke through a plastic straw. Man life was good , and I mean that with 0 sarcasm
ULTIMATE WARRIOR 1959-2014 Warrior passed away yesterday, collapsed walking to his car (probable heart attack). So sad to hear, shocking, 2 days after the HoF. WrestleMania VI is my favourite Warrior moment and childhood memory of mine. I remember hoping Warrior would win but didn't think anyone could beat Hogan. When he did, pumping his arms in the Skydome, it was a dream come true, thinking now it's really Warrior's time. It makes me sad to think 2 of the 3 big icons of the Hulkamania Era are gone (Hogan, Savage, Warrior). It's not consolation but I'm glad he finally righted how he will be remembered, burying the hatchet with Vince and took his rightful place into the Hall of Fame. RIP Warrior
I was looking at one of the old art covers for the royal rumble (the wrestlers walking down a street) and I could only count on a few fingers the ones that are still alive...
Indeed... Jake was magic on the Mic. He knew how to reach thru the screen and be in your living room. He had a lightning fast climb to the top, followed by a slow burn re-entry downhill.

Mr. Perfect losing to Beefcake via slingshot. That's how Hennig lost the AWA World Heavyweight Title to Lawler in Memphis in 1988. Just a piece of history. Another great review.
According to Earthquake and Hercules, he pops up so quickly because they had to clear the ring quickly on Vince's orders. It wasn't Hercules not selling it, it was necessity.
I remember watching this at 11 years old. I rented a VHS copy of the Rumble. I lost my fucking mind when Warrior won and was running around the living room. I miss those days. I miss those feelings.
49:47 No......that was Heenan being a master of the microphone. I would bet he did that on purpose. Heenan was amazing. Still under-rated. He made sooooo many guys look soooooo good or bad both as a manager or an announcer. My favorite spot of any wrestling program was when Heenan got to talk. And the first 10 seconds of that promo is a solid example of why.
It's actually a pretty common form of joke telling to repeat the verbal mistake someone else just made... sad osw assumed this wasn't the pure genius by Heenan to pick up on.
Gotta love that piped in noise. And if it isn't piped in, shame they've been piping in for years, making us all feel quite cynical and not believing everything they shill to us.
@@millhousemillard2140 Alas there are a lot of times, even then, the WWF piped in noise. You'll see it as you work through OSW videos, where they start using the same noise clips for random matches. It wasn't just Hogan though but they *definitely* used it for Hogan at different points. I'm not sure about WM6 all joking on my side aside.
@@JeremiahEcks777 I know they do now. I'm saying back then if you went to a show the crowds were nuts and not full of smarks like you who have ruined it
Who misses Vince's voice over' s at the beginning of a PPV, and the Epic Music they used to have!? Now we get singles from bands and artists, most we've never heard of, and suck. Bring back the Late 80's/Early 90's themes.
Mike Riddle It worked for that era but I don't know if it could work in this one. But I totally agree they should at least bring back original theme music.
I love this Wrestlemania theme. It is so 80's-sounding, but that guitar riff can't be topped. And you know who probably doesn't miss Vince's opening? Vince's esophagus. You have to hope he'd only need one take each time, for his own sake.
I know this episode is years old, but the Marty sell is utterly amazing. If you look closely, the ring mat is elevated off the floor a considerable amount for visibility. Instead of the railing coming to waist height, it only comes up to about thigh height to the wrestlers. It would be very easy to tumble forward if you were blind and walked into it. Normally this would look stupid, but since the area is elevated, it makes perfect sense. Awesome!
That lawsuit over VHS royalties was where he learned Hulk Hogan ratted him out to Vince, he had his lawyer ask in court. He talked about it on the Stone Cold Podcast couple months ago
As much as I loved watching the Warrior and all of his energy, charisma and intensity, his promo's were totally bonkers. I literally had no idea what in the flying fuck he was talking about 90% of the time.
I loved his promos, I understood it all. It was Warrior talk, about gods, powers, and places unknown. It was intense and straight to the point. Later on after Hogan, he was talking a little too much and more mild. It really got bad when he went to WCW.
The only things missing from that Warrior interview at the end are a clock in the background with wildly rotating hands and Warrior talking about Briscoe's sweet, sweet can.

Mr. Perfect should have been world champion, too bad he had so many injuries and disciplinary problems. He and Ted Dibiase are my favorite wrestlers, the most technically gifted wrestlers of their generation
@@TranslatedAssumption While I agree he was a decent wrestler i can't agree that he was one of the most technically gifted. That's going a little too far. I did think he was under used and should've got that belt for even a short run.

Hogan handing the belt to Warrior while clearly selfish on the part of Hogan, to me is one of the most memorable and iconic moments in wrestling history. The 2 biggest faces in wrestling, both went into the match as faces, and there was no heel turn. Both go out as faces, with Hogan sealing it by handing him the belt, and raising his hand. Epic moment in wrestling history..
I have to disagree him handing the belt to Warrior was a passing of the torch moment, He gave him the belt, pointed to him, and left the ring, he didnt do a pose down or anything else he tried to patch the torch. Hogans Haters look for anything and everything to bag on him but this moment was great. Warrior failed with that torch but Hogan tried.
To this day, the most epic match ever held by the WWE, despite both of Hogan and Warrior not being the most technical (and one of those matches that you didn't know how it would end)
@@bigroaststyrone8135 yet even in the great moments when he puts the other guys over, the haters while still find a way to spin into hogan "being a cunt" bullshit!
1:48:43 I am a little confused as to why you would think that Hogan wasn't supposed to grab the belt to give to Warrior. Warrior is initially given both belts but only takes the IC belt. The world title is then brought back to the timekeeper's area or whatever. This was obviously preplanned, that Hogan would personally hand over the title to Warrior. Unless you are saying that Hogan changed the end before the start of the match. However, Hogan giving him the belt is the right way to do things in my opinion. Unlike WM4, which Hogan basically tried to steal the show from Savage.
Wrestlemania 6 has a special place in my heart because it was the first WrestleMania I was conscious of as a child watching wrestling. And I remember my parents would not buy the pay-per-view for me oh, and I had to read about the results in the Washington Post the next morning, because the Warrior-Hogan match was that big!
The Ultimate Warrior Hulk Hogan main event was magical! Wrestling at it's best. The golden years of wrestling. I will never forget how anxious I was to get to school and have my friend who had cable tell me who won. I wasn't fortunate enough to have cable, we were very poor. When I finally did get to see it by renting it on VHS, it was still awesome!!!
hogan didn't change the ending belt bit..at 1:46:56 hebner brings in both belts & warrior only takes the IC belt because he knows hogan is supposed to hand over the wwf belt.
Yeah, Warrior totally knew the passing of the torch was going to happen. I'm not sure how the whole "Hulk went into business for himself" narrative started. Yeah, Hulk lies a lot. Metallica, starring in The Wrestler, ect. But Warrior wasn't known for telling the truth either.
I think it's better than he hands him the title he lost instead of just leaving. It's a sign of respect regardless of the spin Hogan puts on it in his book.
Try to compare the classy way that Hogan acted, here, with the immature, undisciplined way that Ric Flair acted when he dropped the NWA belt to Kerry von Erich-just weeks after the latter's brother had *died* in real life! God, I hate the South.
There is a video that splices together interviews from the angle of The Mega Powers vs The Twin Towers that’ll really take you “there” ( Hulk / Macho vs Akeem BBMan )
These videos are incredible. Jay, Steve and Steve are so passionate, knowledgeable and hilarious. This is my favourite You Tube channel and I tell everyone I know about them. Keep up the amazing work, O.S.W. A winner is you!
Running the ropes is what really sells his finisher. He always looks like he is about to put his opponent through the mat with the power generated. Awesome way to make a safe finisher look deadly.
Shawn was getting over, you guys are correct. You have to remember at this time, we were tired of "old guys". Even when WWF brought in new talent, they were old guy new talent. In the early and mid 80s it wasn't as bad. But by 1990 these guys looked to old. Shawn was younger and was easier to get behind some fresh young talent. Bret was young as well. Vince made a mistake not getting more younger guys in as his 80s guys started looking like buff Dads.
To this day 1:40:10 still hits hard . Remember being a kid ordering this on PPV as a stereotypical Hogan fanboy and being scared to death of the Warrior ending the reign. In hindsight the pops these two got during this match are incredible.
I just discovered you guys!! I was randomly watching late 80s wrestling and could not find free royal rumbles. You guys have everything for free!!! You just have to listen to you guys and after a while I got used to it ,and I like it!! You guys are funny!! Thanks for all of these vids!!
The OSW guys (chaps) are absolutely right, I hate the Bush-Wackers! How did they get so over? Even back in the 80's when I was a kid I couldn't stand them
@@SirStoneyOfBow then why was he a performer? If they wanted him around make him someone's enforcer or body guard. Don't put him in the ring just to do nothing.
@@cjvaye99 It was a different time. People wanted to see Andre. He could stand there and yell and crack an egg on his head and he would fill the arena.
I'm all for Warrior being a homophobe, it means a guy that jacked and stuffed with testosterone is scared of little ol me haha, all Id have to do to win my match is a little Velveteen Dream action
@@Gravydog316 - Andre could move and "wrestle" (it's not real by the way) when he was younger. The problem that he had was that he kept growing until he died. He put on a lot of weight and became almost immobile by the time the WWF was a mainstream phenomenon. Andre in the 1970s sold more tickets and had more star power than Big Show could have done if he had a 100 year career. Andre was a special attraction who made even people like Hogan look small (not just his height, but his giant proportions), Big Show was a big guy in an era that had Undertaker, Kane, Nash, Sid, Ron Reis, Kurgan, etc and he was just barely taller than them and didn't have the proportions (or the charisma and aura) that Andre had. Honestly, people will still remember Andre in 50 years from now, and that includes a huge amount of non wrestling fans. Even a lot of wrestling fans will forget Big Show in 10 years.
I know, man... what i'm saying is, imagine if Andre was as agile as Big Show is/was when Andre was in the WWE. like imagine Andre chokeslamming Hogan off the stage & throwing the stairs around... or breaking the ring like Show did. it would be amazeballs! @@handsolo1209 (& i wrestled all through school, i know how real it is; I wasted a year of my life in traction)
Great video, a couple of quick notes: Before Warrior wakes up the ref he gives Hogan a simple back drop suplex that lays Hogan out and motionless in the center of the ring for 31 seconds! Then after the slowest 3 count in history Hogan barely kicks out gives Warrior a slight jab that is enough to hold warrior down for a good 6 count! Worst series of moves in the match, and so ridiculous. Also I believe Warrior was in on the presenting of the belt by Hogan at the end. If you watch closely you see the ref hand Warrior both belts, but he only takes the IC. Off screen the ref hands the belt back down to the table, allowing Cunt Hogan to steal the spot light. One last note, didn't Warrior and Macho Man have a tile for title house event match the year before? I know I've seen it, so why did they claim this was a first at WMVI?
Joseph Lanza, To answer your question, allegedly what happens on house shows isnt canon to the televised product unless its actually mentioned on tv. For example: Kevin Owens losing the U.S. title to A.J. Styles at a house show. The WWE made note of it on the internet going into the next Smackdown Live.
Piper also said the reason the paint took so long to get off is because a couple of the wrestlers when he was in the ring hid the paint remover on him and never gave it back to rib him.lol
Warrior goes for the flying shoulder off of the ropes and Hogan sidesteps it while ramming Warrior into the canvas. I always liked that spot. Because Hogan could just sidestep it and it would have still worked. But for him to actually take Warrior's momentum and use it against him for his own offense better assists with telling the story in the match.
1:37:35 - I remember watching this as a kid. WrestleMania 6 was awesome and I was so hyped when Ultimate Warrior was running to the ring. I had to rewind it and watched it multiple times. Ultimate Warrior was awesome, RIP!!
I was a kid and the biggest hulkamnia mark. I remember crying when the Warrior won. My mom got angry and left the room and my dad turned off the TV. Did it bother you back then when Warrior won?
I don't think Hogan deviated from the script at the end. You can see at 1:46:55 when Hebner goes to hand Warrior both titles, he only takes the IC belt and pushes the Championship belt away and it looks like he pretty much tells Hebner not to give him that belt; signaling that the plan was indeed for Hogan to hand it over to him at the end.
I think that lends weight to the idea Hogan changed things on the fly, honestly. The fact that Warrior was in on it but Hebner wasn't could mean Hogan at least cleared it with Warrior. And it's quite likely Hogan pitched it as "I'll give you the belt myself and put you over, brother" but spent a long time out of the ring playing out his sadness and disbelief.
Its worth saying that Bruce Pritchard said that the plan was always for Hogan to grab the belt and pass it to Warrior as part of passing the torch. Of course Hogan tells it a different way.
I know you guys don't care, but the reason why Marty tumbled over the rail was because the mats and ring are elevated higher than just ground level. They have to do this for the bigger stadiums cause no one on the ground level can see the ring.
58:20 from what I understand, the Road Warriors were negotiating with WWF around this time and part of their demands to join was that the Powers of Pain be split up and repackaged, hence the manager changes and eventual loss of face paint.
I watched WWE for a very long time and yet this is still one of the most memorable moments... over so many decades Nowadays, the two babyfaces of the company facing each other off is a regular thing. WWE needs to learn from its past. Faces should not face each other and should be built up to be invincible and then eventually they can face off each other... once. Make it count
The days when WrestleMania felt real, great larger than life characters, truly the golden age of wrestling, so fortunate to have grown up in the 80s and 90s, it brings tears to my eyes to see this. #RIP ultimate warrior.
Simpsons is so big in the UK that it's widely considered by media experts that if Sky hadn't negotiated exclusive rights to them, it would never have taken off (it literally more than quadrupled their subscriber base in 6 months) Matt Groening once said "The Simpsons is popular in America. It's an institution in England" Basically it just fits the English sense of humour - sarcastic, cynical and slightly surreal.
Am I the only one that's watched Wrestling for 25 years and just Noticed how much Dusty Rhodes looks like Rodney Dangerfield... Like Brothers split apart at birth.
You can actually find that Ventura Genesis game online. It was never officially released, but you can find the prototype online. It's a shame all that was over an unreleased game.
I will always remember this match. I begged my mom to take me to watch it on closed circuit TV. And it lived up to the hype. I didn't realize how bad of a wrestling match it was technically. But back in this era I didn't matter because of the larger than life characters Vince McMahon built. Just watching reruns of this match gives me goosebumps. 🤣🤣😁
What a day this was for me. Literally my 12th birthday, my dad took me and a bunch of my friends to a sports bar that was playing it. Got to watch it live. It was one of the best birthdays ever.
This is a nice second-hand memory

Gene: "Bobby Heenan, where do you have the ball---the nerve to hit Andre the Giant in the face!!?"
Heenan: I'll tell you why I got the bbb---the nerve to hit Andre in the face!! You take orders from me!!"
"Three-Peat" was copyrighted by Pat Riley when the Lakers were going for three championships in a row. He made a ton of money off of it when the Bulls "three-peated" twice in the 90s.
I didn't know this! Thanks for teaching me something. Smart move by Riley.
I remember when the bad boy pistons were going for Their 3rd. We had commercials about it here
Pat Riley the legend.
Greatest sports team ever.
Wow, seriously? Note to self - copyright a popular term so you can become wealthy without doing a damn thing.
that Warrior confession edit.... priceless! XD 1:54:54
Hogan handing the belt to Warrior while clearly selfish on the part of Hogan, to me is one of the most memorable and iconic moments in wrestling history. The 2 biggest faces in wrestling, both went into the match as faces, and there was no heel turn. Both go out as faces, with Hogan sealing it by handing him the belt, and raising his hand. Epic moment in wrestling history..
I have to disagree him handing the belt to Warrior was a passing of the torch moment, He gave him the belt, pointed to him, and left the ring, he didnt do a pose down or anything else he tried to patch the torch. Hogans Haters look for anything and everything to bag on him but this moment was great. Warrior failed with that torch but Hogan tried.
To this day, the most epic match ever held by the WWE, despite both of Hogan and Warrior not being the most technical (and one of those matches that you didn't know how it would end)
@Gary Hall yup
@@scottsnow137 you claim that Hogan haters look for anything and everything like there’s not thousands of cases of Hogan being a massive cunt
@@bigroaststyrone8135 yet even in the great moments when he puts the other guys over, the haters while still find a way to spin into hogan "being a cunt" bullshit!
These videos warrant view counts in the millions
Cheers flexbrah! Appreciate it
wow
Trillions!
They would, but then you got fucking Father Doyle and Potato 1 and tatty 2 talking bollocks all over it; completely ruining it.
@Andrew Balletto Agreed, it's like being 7 years old again and they're that Uncle telling you wrestling is fake.
Let us just enjoy the spectacle.
1:48:43 I am a little confused as to why you would think that Hogan wasn't supposed to grab the belt to give to Warrior. Warrior is initially given both belts but only takes the IC belt. The world title is then brought back to the timekeeper's area or whatever. This was obviously preplanned, that Hogan would personally hand over the title to Warrior. Unless you are saying that Hogan changed the end before the start of the match. However, Hogan giving him the belt is the right way to do things in my opinion. Unlike WM4, which Hogan basically tried to steal the show from Savage.
My God the Atmosphere of that Crowd for Hogan/Warrior was incredible.. Wrestlers were like real life Superheroes back then.. Amazing.
Wrestlemania 6 has a special place in my heart because it was the first WrestleMania I was conscious of as a child watching wrestling. And I remember my parents would not buy the pay-per-view for me oh, and I had to read about the results in the Washington Post the next morning, because the Warrior-Hogan match was that big!
The Ultimate Warrior Hulk Hogan main event was magical! Wrestling at it's best. The golden years of wrestling. I will never forget how anxious I was to get to school and have my friend who had cable tell me who won. I wasn't fortunate enough to have cable, we were very poor. When I finally did get to see it by renting it on VHS, it was still awesome!!!
Yeah bro, it was a golden age. Hogan vs Warrior is legendary even if you dont follow wrestling, which was only a childhood thing for me ;)
I wonder if Damian had a manager's license
Frankie does "bacawww"
he was a mascot
Did moppy?
He does....in my WWE headcanon that is. :3
Head showed it to everyone at backstage
Hennig Bumping like a goddamn champ in the bonus match. Simply Perfect
hogan didn't change the ending belt bit..at 1:46:56 hebner brings in both belts & warrior only takes the IC belt because he knows hogan is supposed to hand over the wwf belt.
indeed... we don't know if he pushed for this kind of ending backstage before the match but still, it was an agreed part of the script
Yeah, Warrior totally knew the passing of the torch was going to happen. I'm not sure how the whole "Hulk went into business for himself" narrative started. Yeah, Hulk lies a lot. Metallica, starring in The Wrestler, ect. But Warrior wasn't known for telling the truth either.
Thats what i just said lol. Yet hogan wrote it in his book. The evidence is in the film. Hogan is full of shit
I think it's better than he hands him the title he lost instead of just leaving. It's a sign of respect regardless of the spin Hogan puts on it in his book.
Try to compare the classy way that Hogan acted, here, with the immature, undisciplined way that Ric Flair acted when he dropped the NWA belt to Kerry von Erich-just weeks after the latter's brother had *died* in real life!
God, I hate the South.
Did the warrior just tell hogan to abduct an airplane and crash it into the ground?
Illuminati !!! hahahahaha
The Twin Towers came to mind..So Creppy!!!
And only then will you truly know where parts unknown really is
There is a video that splices together interviews from the angle of The Mega Powers vs The Twin Towers that’ll really take you “there” ( Hulk / Macho vs Akeem BBMan )
Yes sir he did
These videos are incredible. Jay, Steve and Steve are so passionate, knowledgeable and hilarious. This is my favourite You Tube channel and I tell everyone I know about them. Keep up the amazing work, O.S.W. A winner is you!
Ah that's very kind of ya mate. A winner is you! 🍻
still remember the whole fam at my grandpas house watching this like it was yesterday. i was only 8 yrs old but its as clear as day.
Warrior - hogan : best moment in wwe history. The fight of the Century.
Warrior - Hogan - Worst moment in WCW History - The Fight that killed Halloween
Champion v champion. At that time they were the biggest stars of the industry and the match do delivered.
I love the way Quake runs the ropes. It actually looks like it would do some actual damage.
Running the ropes is what really sells his finisher. He always looks like he is about to put his opponent through the mat with the power generated. Awesome way to make a safe finisher look deadly.
Has any wrestler ever looked as badass as the Warrior at WM6. So fuckin awesome.
@Buying Stuff Jenna Morasca?
That wonderful Street Fighter 2 music really adds to the nostalgic memories of this video man...
Shawn was getting over, you guys are correct. You have to remember at this time, we were tired of "old guys". Even when WWF brought in new talent, they were old guy new talent. In the early and mid 80s it wasn't as bad. But by 1990 these guys looked to old. Shawn was younger and was easier to get behind some fresh young talent. Bret was young as well. Vince made a mistake not getting more younger guys in as his 80s guys started looking like buff Dads.
To this day 1:40:10 still hits hard . Remember being a kid ordering this on PPV as a stereotypical Hogan fanboy and being scared to death of the Warrior ending the reign. In hindsight the pops these two got during this match are incredible.
This was the golden age of OSW Review! You can watch all the episodes all over again from start and still enjoy it!
I love 'em. I never get tired of watchin' 'em
I just discovered you guys!! I was randomly watching late 80s wrestling and could not find free royal rumbles. You guys have everything for free!!! You just have to listen to you guys and after a while I got used to it ,and I like it!! You guys are funny!! Thanks for all of these vids!!
Just let it sink in that Attitude Era Raw 1998 was in the skydome on a random Monday night.
You may be thinking of 99. It was a special Saturday Raw before St. Valentine's Day Massacre.
@@Pensfan5919 gotcha i'm gonna peep it now
Recently found this channel and this is absolute gold.
This is the comment we long time osw fans love to see. Welcome to the family :)
@@marzward8351 do you reckon he's done what we all did and binge watched fifty episodes in a few days?
The OSW guys (chaps) are absolutely right, I hate the Bush-Wackers! How did they get so over? Even back in the 80's when I was a kid I couldn't stand them
you're just jealous they never licked you, obviously...
They're kiwi boys, how could you not like em
Just taking a guess here but they would get in a little trouble now if they were licking young children in this era? 🤔
Haku always did all the work in the Colossal Connection.
He did because Andre was barely able to perform, sadly.
But andre was the draw
@@SirStoneyOfBow then why was he a performer? If they wanted him around make him someone's enforcer or body guard. Don't put him in the ring just to do nothing.
@@cjvaye99 It was a different time. People wanted to see Andre. He could stand there and yell and crack an egg on his head and he would fill the arena.
The Ultimate Warrior interview at the end was brilliant. Omg.
@Mike Keller u mad lib?
I'm all for Warrior being a homophobe, it means a guy that jacked and stuffed with testosterone is scared of little ol me haha, all Id have to do to win my match is a little Velveteen Dream action
@@davidca96 Is their any truth to these allegations against the Warrior or is it all BS?

Imagine if Andre could move like Big Show
@@Gravydog316 - Imagine if Big Show could draw 1/1000th of what Andre could draw.
no kidding lol imagine if Andre could move & wrestle he'd be even more great. & i love Andre@@handsolo1209
@@Gravydog316 - Andre could move and "wrestle" (it's not real by the way) when he was younger. The problem that he had was that he kept growing until he died. He put on a lot of weight and became almost immobile by the time the WWF was a mainstream phenomenon. Andre in the 1970s sold more tickets and had more star power than Big Show could have done if he had a 100 year career. Andre was a special attraction who made even people like Hogan look small (not just his height, but his giant proportions), Big Show was a big guy in an era that had Undertaker, Kane, Nash, Sid, Ron Reis, Kurgan, etc and he was just barely taller than them and didn't have the proportions (or the charisma and aura) that Andre had. Honestly, people will still remember Andre in 50 years from now, and that includes a huge amount of non wrestling fans. Even a lot of wrestling fans will forget Big Show in 10 years.
I know, man...
what i'm saying is, imagine if Andre was as agile as Big Show is/was when Andre was in the WWE.
like imagine Andre chokeslamming Hogan off the stage & throwing the stairs around...
or breaking the ring like Show did.
it would be amazeballs! @@handsolo1209

초딩때 토요일 3시가 기다려지던기억이ㅎㅎ 벌써 30년이라는 세월이ㅜㅜ 워리어 호건 정말 세기의 대결ㅎㅎ
love your stuff guys. giving me an excuse to rewatch all your stuff.
Great video, a couple of quick notes:
Before Warrior wakes up the ref he gives Hogan a simple back drop suplex that lays Hogan out and motionless in the center of the ring for 31 seconds! Then after the slowest 3 count in history Hogan barely kicks out gives Warrior a slight jab that is enough to hold warrior down for a good 6 count! Worst series of moves in the match, and so ridiculous.
Also I believe Warrior was in on the presenting of the belt by Hogan at the end. If you watch closely you see the ref hand Warrior both belts, but he only takes the IC. Off screen the ref hands the belt back down to the table, allowing Cunt Hogan to steal the spot light.
One last note, didn't Warrior and Macho Man have a tile for title house event match the year before? I know I've seen it, so why did they claim this was a first at WMVI?
Joseph Lanza,
To answer your question, allegedly what happens on house shows isnt canon to the televised product unless its actually mentioned on tv. For example: Kevin Owens losing the U.S. title to A.J. Styles at a house show. The WWE made note of it on the internet going into the next Smackdown Live.
I know WCW never acknowledged house shows. I don't know how often WWE did outside of title changes and matches that aired on TV.
I always remembered that Savage v Warrior match from one of the old VHS tapes I used to have. I was the age when you started to question it all!
Thank you OSW team for doubling back to older episodes and including chapters!
“Were the fans ready for the change?’ WWF fans were. Hogan fans weren’t, and never wanted Hogan to lose or drop the belt.
How have I not stumbled upon this channel up until now?
Jake gives me chills. I'd say he should have been an actor, but that would have been a waste of his talents
His promo here is my favorite he’s ever done, incredible “A victim of your own greed wallowing in the muck of avarice.”
Piper also said the reason the paint took so long to get off is because a couple of the wrestlers when he was in the ring hid the paint remover on him and never gave it back to rib him.lol
Oh God this brings me back when WWE was really cool.
I love watching these reviews shows.
My son really enjoys watching the old ppv with me
Warrior goes for the flying shoulder off of the ropes and Hogan sidesteps it while ramming Warrior into the canvas. I always liked that spot. Because Hogan could just sidestep it and it would have still worked. But for him to actually take Warrior's momentum and use it against him for his own offense better assists with telling the story in the match.
Love these review videos, prefer watching these to the original ppv’s now.... could be an old age thing. Keep them coming lads 👍🏽
Great Review as usual guys. The Ultimate Confession was incredible. Wrestling IS Awesome!
Finding out that most wrestlers did cocaine before promos makes warrior's promos that much better
Earthquake running the ropes. Chefs kiss
1:37:35 - I remember watching this as a kid. WrestleMania 6 was awesome and I was so hyped when Ultimate Warrior was running to the ring. I had to rewind it and watched it multiple times. Ultimate Warrior was awesome, RIP!!
Back in the day, this was more exciting than all pro sports. Best entertainment ever. Yes, I’m a 65 year old Hulkamaniac
I was a kid and the biggest hulkamnia mark. I remember crying when the Warrior won. My mom got angry and left the room and my dad turned off the TV. Did it bother you back then when Warrior won?
250k views are me, just for the nostalgia of the Vhs I burnt out
And all the money we had to spend on head cleaner and long swabs. The struggle was real.
Wait did Hogan say God is a Hulkamaniac?
@stiltman92
Did he shit in your cereal?
he is
God: You're going to Hell, Hulk.
Hogan: That doesn't work for me, brother.
When Hulk Hogan dies he'll cut the line in Heaven and start politicking God until he's running the place.
merces47letifer 😂 👌
"Images of strange and powerful horses"
I don't think Hogan deviated from the script at the end. You can see at 1:46:55 when Hebner goes to hand Warrior both titles, he only takes the IC belt and pushes the Championship belt away and it looks like he pretty much tells Hebner not to give him that belt; signaling that the plan was indeed for Hogan to hand it over to him at the end.
I think that lends weight to the idea Hogan changed things on the fly, honestly. The fact that Warrior was in on it but Hebner wasn't could mean Hogan at least cleared it with Warrior.
And it's quite likely Hogan pitched it as "I'll give you the belt myself and put you over, brother" but spent a long time out of the ring playing out his sadness and disbelief.
Its worth saying that Bruce Pritchard said that the plan was always for Hogan to grab the belt and pass it to Warrior as part of passing the torch. Of course Hogan tells it a different way.
And this is why you guys have inspired me to do my own wrestling podcast with my best mate. Cheers!
What is the name of the podcast? Where can I download the latest episode?
I know you guys don't care, but the reason why Marty tumbled over the rail was because the mats and ring are elevated higher than just ground level. They have to do this for the bigger stadiums cause no one on the ground level can see the ring.
58:20 from what I understand, the Road Warriors were negotiating with WWF around this time and part of their demands to join was that the Powers of Pain be split up and repackaged, hence the manager changes and eventual loss of face paint.
Dibiase is one of the greatest in ring technicians ever. Legendary talent. 💰
The golden age of UA-cam wrestling. This deserves to be rerecord.
I watched WWE for a very long time and yet this is still one of the most memorable moments... over so many decades
Nowadays, the two babyfaces of the company facing each other off is a regular thing. WWE needs to learn from its past. Faces should not face each other and should be built up to be invincible and then eventually they can face off each other... once. Make it count
The days when WrestleMania felt real, great larger than life characters, truly the golden age of wrestling, so fortunate to have grown up in the 80s and 90s, it brings tears to my eyes to see this. #RIP ultimate warrior.
Oh man just re-watching some amazing OSW Review and got jumped with the TRI !!!
Christ Almighty, The Simpsons is so fucking OVER in places like Ireland and England.
GLaDOS hates your safe space What? They speak English. Also over in Scandinavia.
Simpsons is so big in the UK that it's widely considered by media experts that if Sky hadn't negotiated exclusive rights to them, it would never have taken off (it literally more than quadrupled their subscriber base in 6 months)
Matt Groening once said "The Simpsons is popular in America. It's an institution in England"
Basically it just fits the English sense of humour - sarcastic, cynical and slightly surreal.
Old school wrestlemania arcade footage....w ken stage music....ugh you're giving me nostalgia chills 😂
Am I the only one that's watched Wrestling for 25 years and just Noticed how much Dusty Rhodes looks like Rodney Dangerfield... Like Brothers split apart at birth.
since i'm 23, yes.
That Piper promo was obviously done earlier in the day (week?) because the paint near his eyes goes from Ax to Smash in the span of 30 seconds.
You can actually find that Ventura Genesis game online. It was never officially released, but you can find the prototype online. It's a shame all that was over an unreleased game.
Brilliant, thanks for the heads up mate!
@49:08 Love how Virgil staged an autograph for the camera.
I will always remember this match. I begged my mom to take me to watch it on closed circuit TV. And it lived up to the hype. I didn't realize how bad of a
wrestling match it was technically. But back in this era I didn't matter because of the larger than life characters Vince McMahon built. Just watching reruns of this match gives me goosebumps. 🤣🤣😁
