Silently fuming during my early teens watching Du rag Vince as a 15 year old since he was going to start and burry everyone after getting his head shaven
As a certified black man, I have to say du-rag Vince was ridiculous but also completely hilarious because we know he was acting but you got to know he wrote that role for himself so he had an excuse to say the n-word and nobody can get mad at him... And it freaking worked lol
I may be the lone wolf here yet I always thought vince pulled that durag look off flawlessly and when he color coordinated the durag with his suites lights out classic imagery
As a massive fan of the OG ECW, I thought the Durag Vince stuff was absolutely hilarious and an incredibly entertaining way to generate even more heat onto himself.
Your having a rough day, gotta do the dishes, you look at youtube before you start, and not only is there a new Wrestling Bios upload byt its Durag Vince lol. Thanks dude, please never stop
Stop, WWE and Vince killed the revived ECW when it stopped being extreme rules. Within a few episodes, they made it that only the final match would be extreme rules. Then after a few more episodes, the no-holds barred theme of ECW got memory-holed altogether. The brand was dead.
Last Thursday I was having a conversation about wrestling with a friend. I told him about Reliving the War, and somehow the topic drifted away from the Attitude Era to me showing him clips of Durag Vince. The fact that you'd drop a video on that exact topic immediately after is wild to me, thank you so much for this. Durag Vince is surreal.
@13:04 Vince debuts the Lilac colors in Hampton, VA. As a Virginian just up interstate 64 about an hour to 90 minutes away from there (depending upon traffic).... that tracks. He would pull out a matching pastel suit and du-rag in Hampton. It just fits.
I'm surprised Vince never booked himself to win the WCW title. Heel Vince as WCW Champion and Heel Shane as ECW Champion would have been interesting to see and surprising it didn't happen knowing Vince the way we do
To me Durag Vince was the Mr. McMahon characters final form. Right after this gimmick they did the limo explosion which coincided with the Benoit tragedy and imo Vince was never the same on air character since. He came back for the Bret angle in 2010 and made other sporadic appearances but he was never the off the wall, manic, maniacal Mr. McMahon like he was from 98-07.
It’s hard to believe that this silly thing led to his quote death in storyline and it begin when he lost his hair at maina 23 crazy what 10 years can do to a company
I thought this was hilarious. It was so true to life too. How many of us have changes style of clothes and it seemed to change us, watched a movie or listened to music and changed themselves, or go on holiday and experience a different culture and adopt some of that as their own? He went through a life changing event, found confidence whilst wearing a durag to cover up his bald head and it became who he was. Everything he was. When his hair came back and he had no need for the durag he changed back to himself.
It's pretty obvious he didn't want ECW to succeed. And from what's been reported from backstage around that time that's even more certain. Vince couldn't stand that another brand would still have as much name recognition as his. People literally still chant it. There's no way he genuinely believed no one cared.
For as long as Vince was in charge of WWE, he never made a documentary about himself. Triple H made a documentary about himself in less than two years.
Well they were trying really hard to push the New era thing. Please forget about the pervert, because now HHH is in charge and things are magical (that sort of thing).
