Yeah and Woman Miss Liz and Mean Gene. Crazy how all three at 11:38 are gone.
A really odd thing to point out, but it's interesting.............This is WCW's second Nitro in a row from the Tampa Bay Area. The previous week Nitro was out of Lakeland Florida which is 30mins east of Tampa, and this week is out of St. Pete which is 15mins west. Very odd scheduling decision, and I'm wondering if there was a specific reason for it. Or maybe this was just because during the early era of Nitro's existence, WCW did almost exclusively major cities out of the south.
No score? What happens with unopposed shows?
Can you explain to those of us here in the U.S. how in the world HAYSTACKS was such a $$$ Draw in the U.K. ? Was it just a different time period mixed with the right place, time, opponent, etc etc ? HAYSTACKS was quite a big deal over there wasn't HE ? TY. ( P.S. HOGAN was so INSANELY Outta Control at this point. I had forgotten when I was an 8th grader about this time, how much I hated HULK at this time. As a Hulkamaniac growing up, by this time as a teen... The HULKSTER had outgrown his welcome by about 93, here in 1996 is easy to see why he was getting booed outta arenas EVERYWHERE
At In Your House 6, Bret Hart did the unthinkable... He refused to follow the script.
yar brother
Come on now woman I mean they couldn't think of a better fake name
I tell you a good gimmick for Conan would have been the taco Bell band he could have had a big sombrero you could have a Mexican heavyweight title belt it could have silver tequila bottles going all the way around it and in the middle it can have a big gold burrito and Uncle the centerpiece and he could wear a shirt with a big taco on it says taco Bell bandit and he could give people coupons for taco Bell you know people in the crowd bigger promotional thing they should have tried that the taco Bell he wouldn't need one of them big classic Mexican mustaches
Give out haystacks a break he's just trying to make a little bit of money for his family before he retires or dies and everyone knows WCW would throw money and almost any wrestler so you can't blame haystacks for wanting to get a piece of that pie
I rented this SuperBrawl on VHS a few times when it was already a relic a bygone era and I really enjoyed it, I felt it was a good show.
Ric Flairs promo should of been how good those bumps of Cocaine under that sheet was
Hogans a complete ass.
The song at the beginning is amazing!
Steve Grissom would end up winning the Daytona Busch series race he was promoting a few weeks after this fyi.
I started watching all the episodes a couple of days ago. Thank you for these episodes very well done. It's done very professionally and I hope you continue to do these.
Pill man rules!!!
Just for some context, Steve Grissom drove in a league called the NASCAR Busch Series which races stock cars. To be fair, Mean Gene isn't wrong here. NASCAR is huge in Southeastern United States, where WCW was based so there's a lot of crosse over. Turner Broadcasting sponsored Grissom through WCW while they also sponsored other cars through Cartoon Network (which Grissom would eventually drive as well). They would eventually have wrestler specific cars, most notably Goldberg. It's not unlike he wresting monster trucks seen at Halloween Havoc.
Man the intro to this series gets me hype every time
You made my teen yrs look really good
Liz turning heel is the biggest crime in WWF/WCW history.
You should do series other wrestlers like the one you are doing about taker Hbk austin hogan nash hall hhh would be cool
Rest in peace, Animal.

RIP Animal, love watching this when i just watched both PPV's last night !!
Eddie and benoit havent been on nitro in a while
The era when they didnt juice up
...but who won the Dog Show?
NASCAR and WCW are southern (US) staples from the 90’s. Steve Grissom was right on the money.
Wrestling and stock car fans have always been stereotyped together so Grissom wasn't that far off.
Back when Liz was hotter than any Nitro girl, fully clothed. RIP Ms. Elizabeth.
WAIT A MINUTE YOU PLAY FORZA???
Woman (Nancy) and Elizabeth both had a tragic ending. So sad and a large pity.
Whats your gt on fh4? Would be a pleasure adding you...I‘m a drifter primary
This is so cool and good times too
There are plenty of wrestlers that have passed away prematurely over the years, and many had sad endings. But everytime I see Miss Elizabeth, it's extra sad.
This did not show on my notifications. Subscribed and alerts turned on - BOOO ALfirst.
Double A spine buster, awesome move looks cool as hell.
Nice shout out to Crowbar and his Twitter page. It's great Crowbar gave you a compliment on one of your videos.👍
Its amazing how far Brian (take a chill)Pillman was ahead of hid time .. he had the attitude minded era in his mind b4 anyone really knew what they were trying to do
Arn Anderson pinning Hogan was a big deal at the time, even if Hogan was getting a lot of offense and there was tons of cheating. You have commented on how strong Hogan got booked. But what you haven't said is he was getting booked that way since 1984 and people who were fans since that time wanted to see him lose desperately. And it was cool to see Anderson beat him, since he wasn't really a main eventer, but a well respected veteran who I always liked and who was kind of under the radar for a lot of his career.
Any chance of something like this for ECW in the future? Either a reliving the war against WWE or just something like this episode with no scoring system made into a series. Either would be great
Awesome per usual my friend! Great trip
Very impressed by your intro, incredibly professional looking. Not sure when you changed it but props my friend.
I just found this format and I am currently working though the episodes. I love the format. Thanks for your time and work. I really appreciate this view back into the most exciting time in Wrestling in my eyes.
Giant haystack was also well know here in Canada to
Well, Nitro wins this week. LOL.
Lochess
@wrestling bios When it cam to the southern states in the u.s. it was monster trucks, racin', and wrastlin'.
R.I.P Animal he's now with his brother hawk
The fact that one single person would take that joke by Bischoff seriously show how seriously fans took their wrestling back then. Good times.
I have so much on my mind with work and home life during any given week. This came as a legitimate surprise at work when I got the notification. I love this series.
Hogan's Nitro match with Meng he sells like he's being mauled by a grizzly bear. Not sure if we've covered that yet but it's pre NWO so it should be coming soon
Haystacks was diagnosed with cancer about 4 weeks into his run. Sorry his dying got in the way of WCW television
Just 4 months to go for the nwo storyline to kick off in wcw and for wcw's 83 week winning streak to begin
The start of my weekend
Good video but not great. I would have liked a lil more focus on the bret and nash locker room animosity. Any possibility of doing a video on that....it sounded interesting to me.
Bischoff said on the Pillman episode of his podcast that he wasn't necessarily EXPECTING Pillman to come back as opposed to letting him make more money than he was willing to pay him at the time and giving him more money when he got over enough to warrant the price tag.
Tons of people that were fans of wcw also watched nascar. Wcw main territory was the south and that's were racing is popular
Love how Woman throws Flairs coke stash into Hogans face.
BEST WORK GUYS !! atatatat
The WWF jobbed out to the dog show that week lol
This is actually my favourite series on ALfirst. Is it sad that my favourite content on all of ALfirst is a series about 1990’s wrestling? 😕
Now get the poop, the pee of my diarrhea!!! I always hated that damn song.
I always thought flair was kind of annoying
Another amazing video keep up the amazing work bro much love from south Carolina
Elizabeth, Benoit's wife and Mean Gene gone R.I.P
Good job I love watching this
I really do love these shows. also RIP Animal, the last Warrior down. 2020 sucks.
Heel Elizabeth was so hot 🔥
Probably the best wrestling channel going. No politics, no grudges, very mature yet fun. Thanks for the great work!
“Hulk Hogan rolls up Ric Flair, showing he can make Arn Anderson tap while pinning the world champion at the same time” 😂 because of course!! He’s Hulk Hogan man he can beat anyone with ease!
RIP Road Warrior Animal🤘🤘🤘
Being that they are in the south i have no doubt that many of the fans watched the car race
“The Americans Males excellent theme song plays in the arena...” 😂
That powerbomb Konan pulled off, might be the safest, best display of "taking care of an opponent" I've ever seen. Props to Konan for being so strong to not only catch Crowbar, but pick him back up and make the powerbomb look good, while still safe.
RIP road warrior animal
it was probably pretty cool for the fans to see hogan and savage teaming up again at the end
Keep doin what you're doin brotha! Best wrestling channel on ALfirst!
🤘😎🤘🍻🇨🇦
I respect you, wrestling bios man!
Miss Elizabeth's stunning beauty never ceases to amaze. A classy, sexy lady
If the timing is right this series won't be complete until 2025. Investment
Will next week's episode of RAW be the one where they announce the return of the Ultimate Warrior.
Now I see why the Billionaire Ted skit clowned them on the high heel shoe. The WCW writers/wrestlers/managers seemed like they couldn’t come up with a better weapon, smh.
Arn Anderson's biggest win of his career
Fun fact: About a year after Devon Storm’s appearance on this episode of Nitro, he worked the opening match of Maccabiah Mania 2 (immortalized on the notorious Grandmasters of Wrestling DVDs) where he lost to his frequent tag partner Ace Darling. Later in 1997 he started working for WWF as a job guy, which included losing to Taka Michinoku in the Light Heavyweight Championship tournament.
Whatttt aaaaa rushhhhhhh from above
You were right, another damn good Flair Promo!! 🔥💯😂
RIP road warrior animal
You the GOAT fam.... You need to be protected at all cost lol Thank you once again
If anyone wants a cool in depth review of the WCW PPVs around this time check out OSW Review. Keep up the good work man!
Elizabeth and "woman" OK? 🤔
her literal WCW stage name was woman.
It's a shame giant haystacks died very soon after like the next year
Ric Flair was underrated in early 1996 to be honest
I thought Konnan was wearing an MF Doom mask at first glance. Hahahaha.
Plunda? Whats that , ohhhh the thing use in the toilet! Classic bobby
Fun Fact:Giant Haystacks was also a pretty good singer I recommend “Baby I need you” if you’re really trying to set the mood with that special someone, just don’t show them his picture.
Geez, how much does konnan suck?
Crowbar rolled out of the pin and then back in when he realized that was the finish. LoL 😅
I gotta say, the main event picture during this time in WCW I didn't like. If it consisted of rotating Savage & Hogan around to fight with either Arn or Flair, I just preferred WWF more at the time with Bret Hart & them. I mean Savage, Flair, Sting, etc are talented people ... but Hogan with his crappy matches and heroic saves all the time were boring. Especially his matches.
