Fun fact, the kid who asked Stone Cold that Goldberg question is Evan Husney, co-creator of Dark Side of The Ring!
@@DanielDeLeon69 Yeah, he's not joking! I searched, and I was as surprised as you are!
#TheMoreYouKnow
🤯
really well, I never even thought of that I guess you learn something new every day great fun fact thank you for letting us know
Oh shit
As someone that crawled out of a dark place myself, I HAVE to give it to JR for that voicemail to Dreamer. Big ups, dudes. Big ups.
In a darker timeline, WM 17 would have been remembered as one of, if not THE worst day in pro-wrestling.
Alternate reality our other timeline that would happen
And the show would still go on I bet
in fact that Wrestlemania 17 nearly literally getting dark because Raven crashed his Caddy where the powerline for the whole building was and it was so close to hit it as well
That’s why he’s called Joey “Fuck around and find out” Styles
JBL has a history of Fafos😂 why were they getting such pleasure in torturing women I can't understand, I mean I understand hiding shit in Sable's bag since she was looking up on everyone backstage, but I never heard any bad stories about Lillian Garcia (apart from X-Pac saying she wasn't shaving downstairs, but I wouldn't call that a bad story🤣)
@cosmindobrin7658 Good for X-Pac tho if you know what I mean lol
Had JR not called Dreamer, WrestleMania 17 would have been famous for a different reason.
Made me respect Jim Ross even more
JR is responsible for Paul Heyman still being alive. Heyman owes JR big time.
@@whatssogoodaboutindy6696 But somehow...
The check still bounced
@@Duckineer11R.E.A.Ldid it actually or is it a joke
@@thekrazyhatter5063 Naw, I just did the unoriginal Pual "bouncing check" Heyman Joke, so no worries
I love behind the curtain WWE clips so much you don’t even understand
Yeah that WM17 story about Tommy Dreamer is one of the most insane and unhinged wrestling stories of all time. Thank god for JR
“Bro gave his money away to [REDACTED]”
😂😂😂😂😂
@@DanielDeLeon69 Lesnar got Benoit-ed from everything following the Vince McMahon scandal😂
@@cosmindobrin7658huh I didn't know that
@@WestEditz4Life hey it’s all makes sense now it’s all coming together 😂😂😂😂
@@WrestlingGod-f4v So that's what Brock really meant when he said, "I'm coming for you boy! I'm coming hard!"
Yeah I saw another video where they bleeped out his name are you like actually not allowed to say that anymore (well obviously you can but will the video be demonetized or something)
I love a police officer having to try and arrest Andre. Like...yeah.
"You're under arrest"
"No."
I don’t even think there were handcuffs big enough for Andre
Moral of the story, if you wanna be a wrestler, don’t have a entrance where you zip line from the top of the arena, and don’t look at some booty around Mark Henry
We are safe from Mark Henry now 😂
And do the exact opposite of what Hulk Hogan did backstage
@@jokerknight1247Na I would do worst
WrestleMania X7 was gonna go out with a BANG 😅
I'm imagining that when they revived Sandman, Metallica suddenly began playing over the hospital speakers lol
I remember watching that Booker T Documentary. His life really came around full circle
I can't wait to hear about that Sandman overdose story on his upcoming episode of Dark Side Of The Ring
yeah, it’s going to rule
The Scott Hall contract thing is called Favored Nations. Nash has talk about the contracts him and Scott got. And it's all hilarious.
Scott Hall’s clause in the contract is fully legal and is known as a “favored nations clause”
I just looked it up and damn, that's interesting. Thanks for that.
What a legend 😂
The Scott Hall contract was the same for Kevin Nash. The reason WCW offered them that was because they hadn’t signed a contract yet & WWF started airing promos saying the following week JR was going to interview Diesel & Razor. WCW thought they were backing out of signing so they upped their contracts & put in the stipulation that they would be paid the highest amount being paid to other wrestlers.
26:32 Ross talking about a backstage fight with CM Punk on the screen is pure comedy 😂
The person who told Mark Calaway that no one would pay to see him wrestle, was the recently passed away Ole Anderson. Rest in peace, Ole.
A well respected wrestler and booker. Not some scrub executive, that was indeed Ole Anderson. Still his statement about Taker, was ridiculous.
The WCW Executive who told Undertaker he couldn't draw was Ole Anderson (R.I.P). Confirmed by Undertaker in his 1 Deadman Show.
Strange thing about Sting possibly falling, is that this was 1997. So if he had died, I doubt Owen would have, as the pressure and safety would have been much higher by the time his death would occur.
Wow that’s…actually true
That was Ole Anderson that said Undertaker wouldn't draw a dime. Typical.
14:07 3 stages of "Woah" by Ross
I watch you video's all the time. I was so glad to find a true fan of the sport I loved since I was a kid. In other words thank you so much.
15:14 I think wwe referenced this when he did the same thing to big show 😆
DUDE!!! I was at the Wrestlemaina 17. That would have been CRAZY.
Oh Booker did come back, he made his comeback by working hard and being one of the legends in wrestling.
JR unknowingly saved two people's lives with one voicemail.
I'm guessing that Tommy plotting to end paul at wrestlemania is on here
Tommy don't play lol
@@JLWprime10 that's what he was going for
CM Punk and Eminem have a lot in common
Sin Cara rlly fell for the edge heads trick 😂
Hogan, Hall and Nash all had those contracts back then 😂
@14:57 WWE used this as a segment in 2001 when William Regal peed on big show 😂😂 Man U gotta love WWE ❤️
ngl i'm waitin on the Ross heel turn one day just to see what happens haha
Hogan only cares about Hogan and nobody else. He politiced his matches in wcw that he would win 98% of his matches because of the creative control clause in his contract
Punk also is estranged from his own brother who stole money from their backyard wrestling company in the 90s. He stole thousands of dollars & punk wanted nothing to do with him from that point on
Maybe that prison guard said that to most guys that was leaving the prison, to light a fire inside of them, to wake them up. Luckily Booker T was one of those guys and said ‘hell nahh sucka, I ain’t coming back’ and became the 5 time 5 time 5 time…
I was wondering the same thing, but it's equally if not more likely the guard was just an asshole and possibly a racist.
But spite can be a powerful motivator, so it's not impossible he does it on purpose.
That icepack story is f'n stupid. Imagine being offended because someone wants to take care of their body.
Yeah, that type of bs needs to go
Also in this day and age some of the newer talent in WWE have so many years of working and unseen injuries to think that Seth is early in his career is ridiculous
And the funny thing was that Rollins probably had at that point more matches in his career than Cena when you count his indy and ROH history😂
Yeah it’s always the wrestlers that were handed everything to complain about the ones actually working.
I'm guessing the compromise would be for the young talent to ice their bodies in their hotel rooms instead of in the locker room around everyone.
The amount of times I hear the sentence the undertaker was backstage tapping his fists is amazing. He was always ready for the heat
Imagine being valued so much you'd get paid $750k a year to do nothing.
25:30 I believe that is called a "Favored Nations" clause, if I remember rightly.
Both him and Nash had that, I remember Nash saying that Hogan was the only one excluded from that, so anyone but Hogan would get a raise or get signed for an amount bigger than the Outsiders salary, Nash and Hall would get raises as well, also they won 50% of the NWO merch money from WWE (Hogan,Nash and Hall), so Nash is making 16.67 bucks for every 100 dollars worth of merch WWE is selling since 2002, they really knew how to negotiate their shit.
John cena you're not championship material
Jack swagger: B U R I E D 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tbf tho, he wasn't wrong
Rare Cena L for the ice pack situation. Rollins was already a pro wrestling veteran before signing with wwe.
@@JLWprime10Seth was like 8 years deep in wrestling by that point. And the Indy style wrestling style was far more taxing on the body
Fun fact about Alundra Blaze AKA Madusa, she also drove monster trucks. Also Tommy Dreamer's family is connected to the New York mafia
The fact that the first dlc for 2K24 has Tommy dreamer and the sandman along with cm punk and the Dudley’s
That Tommy Dreamer story is CRAZY!!
I love how the Sandman clip during his story (not the Lashley one) was from the WWECW TV debut where he was beating the **** out of the Zombie.
Booker T's story is one of those things that I look at and realize that it's not solely about your environment, it's about rising above things and overcoming when some are rooting for you to fail, while most are rooting for you to be better.
24:58 yup Hall & Nash had that in their contacts
If I remember correctly, $500 was the minimum WWE paid local talent to job or do whatever. Because That's the amount Vince paid Dean Ambrose to come back one last time on Raw before he left WWE for good. He talked about it on either Chris Jericho or Steve Austin's podcast
25:47 yeah bro it’s called the favored nations clause. Hall and Nash both had that in their contracts. They both waived it for Bret to come to WCW.
Nah that Scott hall one crazy that boy was making bank lol
Scott Hall & Kevin Nash both had that clause in their contract it's since been referred to as The Favored Nations Clause.
My good friend did a Make-A-Wish with Cena when he was 11 years old. He showed me the pictures and the stuff he got. He said that Cena was so awesome and nice and spent a ton of time with him. He also got to meet all of the McMahons, Stone Cold, HHH, The Hurricane, and a ton of others. He still loves Cena to this day and is really sad about his retirement in 2025.
Tommy dreamer’s story surprises me the most
Damn HBK was paid 750,000 for the 4 years he wasn’t wrestling. I bet most wrestlers wish they can do that 😂😂😂
They wish they could make 1/5 of that and never have to wrestle
Macho Man's brother Lanny Poffo was in WCW for 5 years and never got used. And he wasn't even a main eventer.
WWE going PG was a major reason why Batista left WWE in 2010.
Shawn micheals first run multiple title runs . He was going against legends on or above his level . 2nd title run it was him against younger talent which he wrestled circles against them.
You are correct they both have channels on UA-cam now, not sure about the video but I'll look.
Sandman a hardcore legend 🔥 I hope they are bringing him back in 2k24 my favorite ecw wrestler to play as since SvR 08
i did hear that he will be in WWE 2K24 but he’s going to be in the DLC pack thing that CM punk is going to be on with Jade Cargill
About Shawn Michaels... he didn't wrestle for WWE since WrestleMania 14 until SummerSlam 2002... but he actually wrestled in his home state of Texas for Texas Wrestling Alliance promotion that he and Jose Lothario owned at that time. He even won TWA Heavyweight Title in 2000. So yeah... Shawn wasn't doing much in WWF, but outside of WWF he did quite a lot of things, he even worked in Japan for FMW (yes, that famous deathmatch promotion) as a special guest referee at FMW 10th anniversary show while he was "retired".
Guarantee if that fan asked Brock to piss on him, Brock would’ve said yes to that
Chill💀💀
Sting is my childhood hero back in thoew days and still is
Great videos and It was on point
Thank u JR😊
Scott's contract plus all kinds of tax shenanigans made him, Nash and Hogan a metric ton of money since all 3 basically made a merry-go-round of "give me a raise or I'll walk" bumping up their paychecks constantly and WCW didn't really care since it wasn't their money, it was TBS money.
And somehow they also settled with WWE for 50% of all NWO merch money to be split between the 3 of them, so for each 100$ worth of NWO merch WWE sells, Nash Hogan and Hall get 16.67$. Imagine from 2002 to today how much NWO merch WWE sold, probably over 6 figures, maybe 7.
I dare somebody to tell me I can't use an ice pack. I'd probably get in trouble for telling them to screw off.
Alex Riley said he rubbed Cena the wrong way but later gained his respect. He talks about it with Chris Van Vliet in a interview seems no grudges are held now, but I remember at the time you could tell there was an issues. One year in a rumble Riley entered and Cena gave him the stiffest shot I've seen Cena deliver.
Even then Cena tried to help him when he botch his elimination
Im pretty sure undertaker stated in a video that he made sure he protected hogan and that hogan lied because he had to drop the championship to taker💀
13:21 I did hear about the rumors about John Cena. I'm not saying that it's not true because it might me true, but I'm taking it with a grain of salt considering these were rumors made by Ryback and Ryback is not known to be the brightest of individuals.
Also, that story about Sting almost dying gave me flashbacks to the Owen Hart tragedy at WWF Over the Edge 1999.
yeah, that’s just crazy what rumors about John Cena are you talking about? Is there something I missing?
@h2tr7rt9r It's something that happened between Cena and Riley. That's what Ryback was saying. Now on the other hand, Rene Dupree said there's more to the story involving Cena and Riley that if the story he heard were to get out, it could end Cena's career in wrestling and Hollywood.
I should also mention that Ryback claimed something happened involving Triple H and Kaitlyn.
Punk being similar to eminem makes sense lol
14:43. That story has been told for years.
Richards did mention in one of his videos that his nose was broken in that match but I don't think the video was about that situation and it could have been just a mention during a video
what's up, ross!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
CM Punk with that Eminem vibe 😂
5:45 to be fair to Seth, guy came from the indies and had a major run in NXT so he’s BEEN wrestling
If I'm a new wrestler and I want to use an ice pack on any part of my body that's hurting, I'll use it. That's a stupid unwritten rule. 😂
24:51 i remember big show telling this story on the monday night wars DVD.
The guy who told Taker that he was not good was Ole Anderson, RIP.
Scott Hall's contract is now known as having Favoured Nations
In Regal's defense, he was 100% right. Daniel Bryan would go on to be one of the most popular stars in WWE history while Ezekiel Jackson faded into obscurity
Cena: "How many matches you wrestled Seth?"
Seth: "3..."
Cena: "Well...
Seth: "--hundred and 51."
I don’t think they had Andre sized handcuffs either way.
That Booker story gives me chills every time. He proved everybody wrong
The guy who told Taker when he was Mean Mark in WCW that he wouldn't make it was none other than the late Ole Anderson
18:45 - it could have been Ole Anderson...telling this to Jim Ross, about "Mean" Mark (Callous) not "drawing a dime."
I really can't remember any of Jack's title matches lol
tommy dreamer ready to crash out
My biggest what if would probably be Sting vs Undertaker
Thank got Jim Ross had Tommy Dreamer's number
Super Crazy is too good for 500 a show bro that’s crack prices
Great video ross
The contract stipulation is called Favored Nations clause
All thanks to his brother Stevie Ray
October 19th 1989 was when it happened with Andre. Fun fact, me and my wife got married on the 30th anniversary of the incident. Also, being from Cedar Rapids it was the front page story for that day in the newspaper.
John wasn’t wrong at all cuz Jack Swagger’s WHC title reign was mid and it sucked
His AEW run sucks too
That WM would’ve been soooooooooo WILD!!!
Sting in my top 20 . But he retired before in wwe said he wouldn't wrestle again . Then he came back . If this last match I'm happy for him. But these wrestlers be fake retiring a lot .
sandman story is insane
Mark Henry turned into prime Dr Umar
