WWF becomes WCW

[MRDXKLIQ101]

what buff bagwell's ego blew his shot at being in the wwe or it was drugs take ya pick

[MRDXKLIQ101]

buff blew it lmao

[MRDXKLIQ101]

to this day i hate how wcw pissed on the name of nwa/wcw did to ecw also

[CampyDef]

@MRDXKLIQ101 What? lol

[MILLERSI81]

Scott Hudson said wwf title lol

[orster2076]

Do you have the rest of the night?

[GrandFunker]

Anyone who thinks Kelly Kelly is hot needs to check Stacy Keibler out and see what hot really is!

[wolf99000]

its funny how long did scott hudson last in wwe I dont remember him after this night ever being seen again

[pipesmoker76]

WOW THIS WAS GREAT !! I CANT BELIEVE VINCE CHOSE TO KILL THIS ANGLE WITH WCW..IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT

[megatron818]

Lord Steven Regal laying down the law at the beginning, lol.

[Makaveli25x]

this is bigger than the moon landing & d-day? hahahaha

[JameelPatrick]

I miss this time period so much that Regals music, which I thought was super cheesy at the time sounds super sweet now.

[rwfmade]

buff bagwell vs booker t for wwf championship?

[TheEvenflow11]

whta date was this? I'd like to see the whole show.

[rwfmade]

@TheEvenflow11 as far as i remember they only did it like this one time. it was a tease that they'd do WCW the tv show but it was just the beginning of the invasion angle

[Ratmann3684]

you forgot to show the match.

[ElectricMVx]

more like WWF becomes LOLTNA

[minecraftgamingvids2]

Stupid announcer said wwf not wcw

[l2oyalflush9]

george clooney is one lucky son of a gun, he is dating stacy keibler

[Clintbdee]

@l2oyalflush9 Let's see-in 2001 Stacy was on the arm of Scott Hudson. In 2012, she's on the arm of George Clooney. Life is CERTAINLY better for Stacy now!!

[HBOMBforPresident]

uh, is that GZA in Shane's theme?

[LTKMusic]

@HBOMBforPresident naughty by nature

[CalLoweR0X]

look at those fucking legs

[UltimateSenshi]

Most WCW commentators sucked apart from Schivone and Heenan. Mike Tennay, Mark Madden, Scott Hudson, Larry Zybisco, Stevie Ray, Eric Bischoff and Mongo all sucked. With all due respect to Arn Anderson I think that was his first stint as a commentator.

[AlvinValkenheiser]

The WCW invasion on the WWE '12 game is better than The Aliance storyline on real life

[EdgeKnox]

@AlvinValkenheiser Yo the WWE'12 Invasion Storyline its super nice , but i prefer the Original Invasion storyline .

[ElectricMVx]

What exactly happened here? during the MNW they had 1 hour Raw and 1 hour Nitro?

[RelaxingGhost]

@ElectricMVx NO!! After WWE bought WCW stars kept invading WWF television. Vince agreed to have WCW matches of WWF tv ... For some reason (Most Likely Ratings or not pushing his own talent) Vince hated the idea and never did this again. Vince never liked pushing guys that were not his creation. Most of the times thats why Guys like Orton, Cena, HHH, HBK were always champion. As u realized he never pushed DDP, Steiner, Goldberg as much. cuz he never created or invented them

[RelaxingGhost]

@RelaxingGhost Why do you think sting never wants to go to WWE, cuz his legacy and career will most likely be buried from Vince ... Sting doesnt want that and personally it would be cool to see him there but i dont blame the guy

[Paintinprettypicture]

@RelaxingGhost he gave steiner and goldberg pushes against HHH, scott just never won goldberg was on top in the wwe nut yea i get your point. this video above was just to test the waters of wcw being its own show within the wwe.

[vtown187yahoocom]

that should be eric bishoff not shane smh

[Flexy319]

WCW STILL LIVES! and remember when the entrance ramp was that long?? now it's as big as a driveway.

[BoNursukker]

@liljads125 you are just so smart

[TheBGZ187]

I hated Raw on tnn.

[ArtofDestiny]

Lol @ Scott Hudson 1:37. Relax, it's still Monday Night RAW

[Shadowlit001]

lol why'd they boo ref Nick Patrick?

[pacliveson123]

george clooney hits that every night

[thedarkmind88]

Did he say wwf championship instead of wcw?? ha nice 1 scott hudson 1st line and you fuck it up

[tubehows4life]

When its the same set, and WWF.com still stapled to the titantron, its not WCW.

[juiceonroids]

HERE COMES THE MONEY!!!

[goth1agw1omw]

Oh the irony of Shane o' Mac saying it won't be all about the McMahons and more light on the stars.

[cld1472]

That is VINTAGE Neil Patrick

[chaceurs]

lucky george clooney

[TheEaglesfanindc]

this didnt last long it was big tho at the time

[JWR484]

@TheEaglesfanindc Most def. If you watch shoots with stars that came in like Lance Storm. He said he had to sign two different contracts because they were going to have a WCW but changed their mind.

[TheEaglesfanindc]

good god them legs

[Hiobigkats]

Scott Hudson was a lousy commentator. He even botched up, when talking about the upcoming match, refering to it as, Buff Bagwell going after Booker T for The WWF Championship and not WCW Championship. They should have brought back Tony Schivone to WWF/E. He was a good comentator and far way better than Micheal Cole.

[SpaceMountainWOOOOOO]

@Hiobigkats Holy Nitro Tony Shiavone was awesome

[Brim666coven]

Scott Hudson looks like that drag queen that i see working the Circle K here in town. lol!

[retroman84]

This is bullshit, it doesn't go together at all! PERIOD.

[SRPC21]

It sucks that Vince pulled the plug on having 'wcw raw' because of some retarded wwf fans during this match.

Originally wcw came in as a face group and the brand extension between Raw and Smackdown! would have been wcw and wwf respectively. I think it would have made things a little better than what was to happen :(

[Jauckor]

wcw reinvented wrestling industry.

If it wasnt for wcw, wwe would be nothing nowadays. I mean they are everything but wrestling.

[Allapattahgoon]

@Jauckor WWE has been anything but wrestling since the 80's, before going up against WCW

[ThePluss182]

stacys fuckin hot as hell

[VioletLightning100]

@ThePluss182 but her boobs are small

[TheNewNexus99]

@ThePluss182 but her boobs is small

[MisterWrestling30]

@ThePluss182 i wish i were in place of clooney, don't you?

[MrPezzzz]

I wished they kept on going with the idea instead of giving us Raw and Smackdown brands it wouldn't have led to such a botched Invasion storyline, I reckon another show added to the weekly cycle would have done it wonders instead of taking over Raw and Smackdown at the time.

[HBK316666123]

Stacy Keibler great looks, but a horrible ring announcer lol

[SnakeMan227]

This entire invasion angle was ruined the minute Shane appeared.

[DetectivScrout]

@SnakeMan227 but shane started the invasion angle the night wwf bought wcw

[SnakeMan227]

@DetectivScrout Yeah. I always hated an angle involving the McMahon family because they got more air time than the wrestlers.

[TheYungBleek]

BRING WCW AND ECW BACK TO THE OLD DAYS ALONG WITH TNA AND WWE AND MAKE SHIT INTERESTING AGAIN... AND RATE THE SHIT M NOT PG



[DCJtheICON1]

this is where the BIG BOYS PLAY WCW 4 LIFE. wwe i got 2 words for ya... SUCK IT WCW STYLE

[MrHAR]

Is this the only night WWF became WCW ? I need to know please

[SPUDLEYDUDLEY85]

wcw

[fitzgerald434]

WWE sucks now its so stale I miss the old days of wrestling :(

[moltenriches]

I read somewhere that one of the plans for the acquisition of WCW was for it to replace Smackdown and there still be a WCW just under WWF control, not sure why it fell through though.

[strickyboiwonder]

@moltenriches thats because of the reaction to this match

[Allapattahgoon]

@moltenriches the reason it fell thru was cuz of this match...nobody wanted it anymore

[Conzooo1]

@moltenriches it was because of this match (as said in jerichos book)

[SteveCriminal]

i dont even remember this :O i dont even recall buff bagwell bein in the wwf when the wars started

[MetalEdge56]

Stacy sucks on the mic

[mooky9669]

@MetalEdge56 she could suck my mic anytime!

[MetalEdge56]

Why did WWF create their own WCW logo?

[Dazwar4]

@MetalEdge56 so they did not have to share the trademark with the person who created the previous logo and to show that WCW is no longer the same

[DukeNukem1011]

@MetalEdge56 well they bought the wcw so they can make there own logo

[ThePluss182]

a little less william rega, alot more stacy keibler

[Heavymetalhero91]

i wish wwf would have lost just cause new wwe sucks WCW would have been a better product than the watered down wwe vince is shitting out right now...they should turn wwe smackdown into WCW thunder since the brand extension is pretty much near the end and TNA doesn't even come close to wwe ever at its lowest point (right now)

[JVOFH123]

@Heavymetalhero91 I don't really see the point or the need to turn smackdown into WCW Thunder

[Heavymetalhero91]

@JVOFH123 smackdown sucks if u brought in some wcw talent and got eric bischoff to run it it would be good tv also they got the color and the championship belt already there all u need now is just some talent and then they could make the ppv bragging rights work for them instead of raw vs smack down it would be wwe vs wcw....wcw was good when it was run by the right people bischoff and russo can do a lot with a company if they have the resources TNA can't give them those resources but WWE can

[prepaidbrian]

they should have kept both and just had a huge brand war like they do...would have been a lot better



[LoneDragoon90]

The original brand extension idea right here - which was an outright failure at square one.

[elchamber]

Kiebler and Torrie was the best part of the merger.

[cburns1689]

@elchamber true that lol! The only wrestler that i was glad came over on the merger was Rob Van Dam

[theoracle8191]

Shane-O-Mac!!!

[xtremehardy388]

RIGHT before the WWF started to suck

[SuperWWEOnline]

they did ecw one night stand how about a wcw one night stand

[badbook1]

@SuperWWEOnline will never happen, the fans caused ECW One Night Stand to happen. With ECW chants, do you here any wcw chants? No.

[drummerboy2018]

@SuperWWEOnline you want to watch wcw one night stand you can!! on spike every thurday night! its a show called impact wrestling! there you can watch your favorites from wcw! flair, hogan, steiner, sting!! hahahaha

[johnson1095]

i like this look, i wish WCW would be revived

[wwehardcore3000]

Now all we need is for wwe to become tna

[dyumbla]

They overkilled with the logo...lol

[eriko23]

I didn't know J. Allard was a commentator for that night

[tottishbk]

Buff Bagwell goes for the WWF championship against Booker T?????

[LucaToni101]

scott hudson sucks you need tenay the brain and tony schiavone

[johnson1095]

@LucaToni101

Exactly, i agree.

[JWR484]

@LucaToni101 Tenay is awful as well. Bobby most def Tony too. I think therewas some real tension on air with them two as well.

[619manify]

what episode is this.

[neptuneniq]

@619manify i forget but it was during the early stages of the invasion angle

[DanCMoran]

FAIL! he said its for the wwf championship

[baresolid]

I don't get why they invented a new WCW logo etc... it wasn't WCW at all.

[RAC22963]

Shane = toolbag.

[iainmacdonaldTV]

Anyone find it funny a once-dedicated nWo referee is officiating this match? ;P

[brocstarr]

@iainmacdonaldTV he was forced into the nWo though technically if you wanna go by storyline.

[ogie]

even though it says wcw, it has still a wwf raw vibe to it and they can't replicate what wcw is, pretty sad if you ask me.

[salmon020]

Would of been so awesome if Shane actually bought WCW, kept everything the same and just made it his own company instead of bring the wrestlers to RAW and the WWF, if that were the case I bet WWE would of been gone long ago.

[stickman51]

Man this storyline could have been one of the greatest if WCW's top guys were in it and if WWF guys didn't win most of the matches -_-

[theraVen27]

@stickman51

most? you mean all right

[MJPExeter]

Still remember this. At the time it was awesome

but in the years since it hasnt been good for wrestling

[randyHEADLOCKorton]

the day that will 4ever be known as the the beginning to one of the worst story lines in wrestling history

[Juvy29]

WWF CHAMPIONSHIP????????? LMAO THEY STARTED BOTCHING FROM THE BEGINNING

[chaunceyodom]

@Juvy29 They already had a wcw championship.... Where were you at?

[jobbercity]

shit logo

[iainmacdonaldTV]

@jobbercity At least it was readable unlike the previous one.....still a kinda bad logo though.

[heroswelcome1111]

if they would of kept WCW running with Shane at the helm and tried to take Vince over that way it would of been better that way.

[KingoftheA]

"Buff Bagwell goes for the WWF Championship..."

[MJKnight07]

@KingoftheA I know. That was such a LOL moment

[ClydesRevenge]

WcW was great until it became unwatchable in 98' WWE has never been able to recreate the NWO years they tried hard with the invasion storyline

[JacktheDragon10]

Regal is a dinner masher :)

[callmemarc]

I want keibler to snap my neck with her legs

[a2ilool]

when half the fans leave you know its a fail

[kohahh]

I want Stacy Keibler!!

[stupifiedgig]

Arn should be a full time announcer!

[VoorkJTV]

That is an ugly WCW logo..

[SRPC21]

@VoorkJTV I really like it!

[clark38571]

After all these years WCW STILL LIVES strong. Damn I miss the days.

[assmaster79]

hey can you get the whole wcw raw please

[Kingpee03]

i wish they would recreate wcw as a seperate show like they did with ECW but with Original wcw guys. and i'm not talkin about the tna version. Im talkin bout the ring mat saying WCW and the same wcw main event such as starcade,halloweed havoc,bash at the beach and stuff like that ( Vince has a next million dollar opportunity in his hands and he aint doin shit with it

[badmuthur]

@Kingpee03 its kind of too late now tna is basically wcw Bischoff runs the company and he has all those old wrestlers

[Kingpee03]

i wish they would recreate wcw as a seperate show like they did with ECW but with Original wcw guys.

[jet4212006]

this is what would of happened if WCW won the Survivor Series match

[SRPC21]

@jet4212006 How I wanted that so badly (I was the only one in my whole school!)

[sureren]

@jet4212006 No that would of not happened. That was just an storyline wwe owns wcw.

[megafaded69]

@jet4212006 "would *have* happened."

[jet4212006]

@megafaded69

grammar nazi

[megafaded69]

@jet4212006 I'd rather be a nazi than a WWE fanboy.

[tmbttes]

whoa! Stacy Keibler is a giant, she's taller than Hudson, Double A, Shane and Nick Patrick and with THOSE legs, hmmmmmmmmmmmm......

ANY boy aged 8-15 would love to have her babysitting them :)

[RamboAAK]

@tmbttes What about 16? :O :(

[ChadTheWrestleManiac]

i didnt know they did this on raw (i knew about the invasion and everything im a wrestling observer) but it wasnt well documentent

[goldenboy28100]

WCW/ECW VS WWF SHOULD OF STAYED GOING ON, IT WAS BETTER

[RMilvae]

That's not WCW.

[ZETHO69]

whats the name of the music match announce?

[KarmaKiller89]

LOL for the WWF Championship...KNOB!

[ericou812]

can you say .....LEGS?

[TheIllustriouBlueJay]

anyone notice that the announcers said WWF title and not WCW title?

[Cosmodude77]

@TheIllustriouBlueJay Yup! Completely killed their legitimacy right off the bat. Foreshadowed the whole rest of the angle

[IndyoThe13]

If only it happend....

[GurahkWeavile]

How were fans supposed to take this face WCW thing seriously, when they were so loyal to WWE? If I were a WWE fan at the time, I wouldn't take this seriously either....

[juvijuice89]

@GurahkWeavile I pretty much said the same thing lol. It was obvious that WWF fans at the time, who prolly watched mostly WWF and followed it, they weren't just suddenly going to side with a small group of wrestlers that were coming in from a coming in from the former "competition company". I think the original plan was to have theme faces since Shane Mcmahon was supposedly face at the time, but scraped it and turned them heel cuz of the loyalty of the WWF fans. WCW as a face group=FAILURE!! Lol

[dgenerate707]

@juvijuice89 the retarded part was that the following monday they were in atlanta the people working for WWF were dumbasses for making that mistake.

[itchyisvegeta]

@dgenerate707 Serious? Horrible planning. Also, the newer logo sucked ballz.

[dgenerate707]

@itchyisvegeta we i hated that logo. Yeah why would you bring back ECW in atlanta instead of a WCW comeback you should look up Invasion Corny style and see the bullshit they did.

[cmpody]

@juvijuice89 Finally, Ive found someone in these threads that has a basic understanding of the business. WCW was an absolute joke to a vast majority of wrestling fans by mid to late 99 continuing to its demise. The fans did not want to see buff bagwell vs booker t in a main event on live TV. If they had, WCW would have never gone out of business in the first place.

[vh9network]

@cmpody

WCW was a joke to mid 90s by WWF fans maybe, but I doubt wrestling fans as a whole. WCW was best in the mid 90s, 

[mrhockey148]

god WcW sucked, except for the NWO it was barely watchable

[mrsteak613]

I never knew Buff Bagwell had a WWF title shot :P

Listening to that always makes me rofl

[Broncojosh88]

@mrsteak613 Yeah, coz Jack Ryder and Seamus are much better !!!

[OlofDreijer]

@Broncojosh88 The Ryder thing was a work, but Sheamus is far better than Bagwell.

[Broncojosh88]

@OlofDreijer HAHA but seriously he isn't

[theshakter]

I remember when how much i hated this match

[IndyoThe13]

I miss wcw

[krazygreen]

There will never be another Attitude Era quite like the original.

[iseeredpeoples]

wcw on wwe tv and the whole thing was on shane

[yiassoufile]

that version of regal was fucking classic...the good old days

[angelswat101]

I remember this, they had WWF matches and then later they would have WCW matches. I remember it, it was great. But WWF/WWE come out on top.

[indoorfansite]

when was this???? what year??

[Deadman2224]

@indoorfansite 2001

[kdfan4l]

i used 2 work for stacy keibler

[dealmaker007]

@kdfan4l Do her legs really go all the way up? lol

[kdfan4l]

@dealmaker007 yes they did why

[dealmaker007]

@kdfan4l Lol it's a joke. King used to say that all the time on the show.
