With the WWF attracting a wider age demographic during the early 90s, WCW felt they had to begin appealing to a more youthful audience. The WWF had characters such as Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior; larger than life characters who looked like they were ripped straight from a comic book. WCW, in many ways, had appealed to an older demographic during the 80s with a more "no nonsense" style of professional wrestling. At Captial Combat 1990 however, WCW would get a little whacky when RoboCop made an appearance. Yes, RoboCop in WCW.
Sting had joined the Four Horsemen in late 1989 but when the Stinger wouldn't give up his title shot against Ric Flair, he was ejected from the group. Sting also suffered an injury that would keep him on the shelf for a little while.. so backup was needed. A few phone calls from the heads of Turner Entertainment resulted in RoboCop coming to save Sting at the Captial Combat show. This video covers RoboCop's appearance on this WCW PPV event.

The Story of RoboCop in WCW
1 187 Shikime 121 mijë
"Here comes Robocop, Bob!" You could feel part of Jim Ross' wrestling soul dying with those words.
0:15 Nice remix to the _RoboCop_ theme song.
Thank you for this one
" No blowing up Ole Anderson" LOLOLOLOL great Video as always. In all seriousness that was great storytelling and booking between Flair, Sting, Funk and Muta. And then mixing a face Sting in with a heel Horsemen group. great until RoboCop shows up lol.
It was fun to see RoboCop in wcw and Peter weller was trendmous as the cyborg cop
RoboCop saw the 4 Horsemen and said "come quietly or there'll be trouble."
Now Robocop is fighting in Mortal Kombat 11
Stupid though it was, I get why WCW would do this. A massive Hollywood movie icon would come to their show. Potentially cool and buzzworthy, even if the idea of a robot doing something in wrestling was physically ridiculous. But for the movie producers, what's to be gained? Your character goes on the second class wrestling show in America and looks useless and immobile. Luckily for them, almost no one saw this 😅
I’m going to say based on the pictures and video shown, there is no way in hell that’s Peter Weller in that suit!
I thought robo cop was real
At least the suit looked good!
I built ROBOCOP on 1 of my Ps2 WWE S v R game
What is frustrating is Capital Combat was a great event with some fantastic matches
He's also appearing in mk 11
My wrestling history might be fuzzy. But didn't RoboCop slam Andre the Giant on an aircraft carrier in the middle of the pacific after climbing down from a helicopter? Good times.
But sadly WCW went away many years ago but it did bring WWF to its knees
So I found this at a garage sell. So I told the seller that I'd buy that for a dollar, and laughed like a maniac. 🤑
Did he sell it to you?
Does it Does it hurt Good night sweet prince haha 😄
A full 10 years later and We Can't Wrestle or World's Crappest Wresting still never learned a single thing. I actually thought looking at the title we were about to be entertained by another gaff by Ted Turner and Eric Bischoff in 1998. Turns out it even predates the Monday Night War by some years.
Should've gotten Batman he would've kicked some major ass in WCW
I can promise you it’s not peter weller inside that costume, he spent months perfecting the movements for robocop and you can clearly see who ever is in the suit can’t control it, plus he hated wearing so wouldn’t unless he had to
I remember that PPV and I wanted Robocop to tombstone piledriver the horsemen into oblivion, but I was a kid then so...
😂😂
The could have had one of the Aliens come in - at least they can move a lot easier than good old Robo
Take shot every time he says robo cop
Back when CAWs showed up every other week on live television
Oh yea I remember watching all robocop in theaters as a kid and definitely remember the cartoon & toys an definitely my brother & me had those toys lol
uncreative people trying to be creative, that's when stuff goes downhill
"Adam West's Batman made an appearance in Memphis" .............. Excuse me what?
I remember loving it at as a kid. Lol
I would love to see Robocop do a shooting star press off the top...of a cage.
The Muppets hosting Raw was one of the better guest hosts in my opinion.
When Sting said Ric Flair better watchoit, cuz ROBOCOP, i was like “how lame”, and i was like 12!!
Sting 😍
They could have done this small live appearance during the show and then when Robocop left turn a tapes segment where he does fight them. But I suppose that's too simple?
You’d be making Jim Herd look like a bigger gobshite if that had happened.
These idiots did not know why the WWF was successful and they mimicked the worst parts in idiotic fashion. This junk and the shock master. Just morons who didn't understand how that cartoon wrestling was selling.....the reason it sold was a reason they couldn't see because it was an indictment on their fortitude....the WWF only sold cause Vince McMahon had balls and wasn't a loser who agreed to a weak gentleman's agreement. He went balls to the walls to take a national stake. These losers were all trying to squat on their territories to keep others out. That's weak and shows a lack of tenacity. It's the mark of losers who weren't able to make it and just squatted on what they had. They were protecting their weaknesses while Mr. McMahon went to thrive and the universe awarded him. It's as complicated but straight forward as that...these morons couldn't admit they were wussies and deluded themselves stuff like this was why he was successful...no, and actually that's why wrestling was almost dead until the NWO angle saved it. The most visible product was one that was off putting to kayfabe entrenched wrestling fans. Imagine thinking the Junkyard Dog was blinded and couldn't see his daughter be born and then you a clown wrestling a repo man in a domino mask like it was Halloween. Yeah, one or 2 times you will have to watch it but eventually you will feel like your intelligence has been insulted for decades. In less than ten years that idiotic type of wrestling almost killed a thriving business and those wussies were helping kill their business by copying it.
RoboCop in WCW was a Stupid idea, what moron thought it was a good idea. I felt sorry for all the wrestlers involved in the angle.
Robocop in wcw 😆 Robocop in mk11 😲
Cheap ass suit 😂
Should have had the 4 horsemen somehow maneuver Robocop to get caught in the cage. Then he could break out. And the horsemen could run away. But judging by that flimsy costume that never would have worked.
Jesus, this is so cringe 😂
they should have brought back robocop to fight the nWo and then he joins the nwo wolfpac
you left out, i think the most recent dumb appearance in wwe, scooby doo. in 2014 with sin cara and i think 2016 with r-truth and golddust.
Honestly I think the chuck norris wwf appearance in survivor series was cool
Wow cornette was involved in this and he criticises AEW..
To be fair, had I known Robocop was supposed to appear on another wrestling promotion I was unaware of as a kid, I would have certainly looked for it. They’d have gained a viewer. Whether they would have keep me though.....
Omg I remember watching this when I was little XD
WCW should have also brought in the Terminator. Robocop and Terminator could have had a Cage Match
This was awesome
Then later the WWF/WWE had Trump and 'The Terminator' aka Arnold on it's show.
13:12 😂😂😂
It's ok he's now in MK11 😁🐸🤘
Did they have a video game out at this time? If so they should have made Robocop a playable character.
I remember that pay per view I was there when I was a kid
Remember that was so funny
Turner!
Having RoboCop in WCW was allot better than the Muppets in WWE lol😀
Dead or alive your getting stung wooooooo!!!!
If Robocop showed up 8-9 years later, maybe we could've seen him challenge Goldberg and his streak
That Sting makeup variations back then 🔥
Oh Lord not Robocop
You just knew the end was near.
OCP's Old Man character was based on Jim Herd.
Oh, WCW. Does the WWF/WWE have a single moment that's as embarrassing as Robocop, The Shockmaster or Yeti?
Robocop found better fame in Mortal Kombat. Lol @ Sting theme like the ultimate warrior
I can't help but wonder how many pro wrestling fans at that time knew that Sting and the Ultimate Warrior were once a tag team.
Robocop vs Shockmaster main event Bash at The Beach is the match we wouldn't want to see.
The only way I'm watching wrestling again is if Robocop makes his return
Lol I forgot this was a thing 🤣...man the late 90s/early 2000s were a simpler time!
WCW Heavyeight Champion: Robocop: Drop it.
Wcw has had the most laughable gimmicks and blunders in wrestling history, more than wwf, and even ecw! If ya smeeeeelllll what the juice is cookin'
Robocop and David Arquette were the moments I realized WCW was a joke!
FACT: Peter Weller has never TOUCHED a Robocop costume since his final day of Shooting RoboCOP 2....Even so far as saying "Robocop 2 was the worst experience of his LIFE"..... FACT: MIKE ATKINS a former wrestler is the Feller dawning the costume at the CAPITOL PUNISHMENT PPV.
I actually enjoyed this as a kid.
Listening to one of Jim Cornettes' podcasts he said that it wasn't Peter Weller but some other guy. Apparently it was the actual suit but the leg coming apart like that makes me wonder. Wardrobe malfunction I guess.
I Love Sting and Robocop but together it’s madness
Good vid new sub 👍🏾
bro I'm dead :) even a simple tasking as walking made the costume fall apart 2 more minuets & he probably would of been standing there looking like robo cop at the end of the movie
At 5:37, the first row at the far right with the white t-shirt and baige color jacket looks like kevin arnold's brother from The Wonder Years. Jason Hervey. Jason Hervery also played the younger brother of Michael J Fox's mother from Back to the Future.
I’d believe Cornette here. As soon as RoboCop was brought up, I thought, “Uh, well Turner owns a TV station so there was probably some kind of rights deal mixed in there.”
They should have had Robocop pull his gun out on the horsemen. Lol
"Dead or alive ,you're coming with me"
i was at Capital Combat '90 and for the life of me I don't remember RoboCop being there. Senility, I guess.
I don't think it was Weller as RoboCop on any of this
Dead or Alive, Your coming with me!
I enjoyed the Muppets on Raw. The Beaker and Sheamus segment was very memorable
Yeah, that was one gigantic CF! Jim Herd was the most incompetent pro wrestling executive in the history of pro wrestling.
Love robocop
I remember when robocop was in wcw at the time i thought it was pretty cool. Seeing it now in 2020 it makes me think I was a dumbass 😂
God bless Arn for selling this abortion as best he could. Sid actually thought Robocop was a real cyborg. He said in an interview with Hannibal, "He had a malfunction that day..."
Wait wasn't one of Robocop's abilities to climb and go down stairs? Unlike the ED209.
Whoever came up with this idea should have been fired the moment it came out of their mouth... Kevin Sullivan's dungeon of whatever was pretty dumb but this was was just the dumbest wrestling idea ever...it surprise me that any of the wrestler's went along with this stupidity especially the horsemen and Sting
"Drop it, creep!" :::drops steel chair:::
Promotional Consideration paid for by the following: Magnavolt NukeEm Sunblock 5000 Cobra Assault Cannon, State of the Art Bang Bang!
RoboCop was a dumb movie, anyway. My dad took me to see it because he was such a Peter Weller fan, and I think he's a lousy actor! I had to put up with my dad watching Buckaroo Banzai over-and-over again and I had endure the dreadful, deadpan "I'm not acting" school of acting Weller comes from, and I'm sorry---give me Willaim Shatner's "over-acting" over that garbage, anyday!
Shatner was definitely worse than peter weller.
Definitely not Peter Weller! perhaps it was the stand-in for the movie because there was a second guy with his own suit for the stunts.
Robopig and WCW. Boy oh boy. Eric Bischoff could have done this MUCH BETTER.
id watch movie reviews if you did them

Was it Peter Weller
Cornette said it was
