WCW World War 3 1997 - Scott Hall, The Giant, DDP, Hogan

[Sikkcess85]

The biggest Icon in wrestling!!!!!!

[rimsdothemacarena]

look at that scrub DDP

[ErikAziz]

Hey, just throwing this out there did anybody else thought the ref looks like Micheal Cole with a perm?

[84PhoenixRising]

How did the announcers not notice that "Sting" is 7 feet tall and stepping over the rope?

[KhazDamit]

If it wasn't for Dusty Rhodes Scott Hall would have won his first WcW championship! Hate that fat man screwed Scott over. And Stng was beat!

[lglhl0lsltl]

hogan DDT? no a hogan diamond cutter more like it lol

[AmphibiousReconMSOB]

sweeeeeet!

[4thill]

Hollywood Hogan > Hulkamania

[FRSFreeStateNow]

Scot Hall was big, strong and good enough to beat anyone

[AKAMUSICkeepit100]

I am truly disgusted on How the Giant was so invincible, Like Scott Hall is a big ass guy, and he can never hurt the Giant. Hall has the best brawling and punches in wrestling period, and he can't ever hurt the giant eh. I wish I could have been there to produce or write this ish.

[peterp21]

@AKAMUSICkeepit100 I'm not sure you know much about wrestling. Wight was a Giant (hence his stage name) and traditionally giants have been fairly indestructible. It's part of their gimmick. Part of the appeal of giant wrestlers. What, you want Giant taking powerbombs and hiptosses from Hall like you would see in the video games?

[AKAMUSICkeepit100]

@peterp21 Hall is a big big man, Show has 100 pounds on him, thats not that much for big guys like this , but know,,, If you read my comment, I talk about Hall''s punching and brawling. He surely should have some sort of Offense against The Giant, he's not chris jericho or rey mysterio. Halls 6'6 - 6'8 270 - 290 plus he's athletic.

[AKAMUSICkeepit100]

Scott Hall = Bigger than Wrestling



[vh2k]

Hogan should have won this, dropped the title at Starcade, and then had the next title shot as an insurance policy.

[willV]

would've worked better if they used someone who wasn't a FOOT taller than sting

[wwechick76]

@willV haha yeah I just checked that Nash is 6'11 Sting is 6'2

[awesomegamevids]

Man, look at how in shape Hogan is when he poses when he enters the ring. Definitely the Golden age of wrestling. It's too bad Scott Hall doesn't get back in shape.

[Allen7111]

Whats with the 3 rings?

[awesomegamevids]

@Allen7111

World War 3. 3 rings with 20 wrestlers each I believe.

[goodlookin41]

you knew that wasnt sting. sting cannot go over the top ropes like that ans he is not taller than hogan and hall.

[acegotflows]

Hogan slammed the giant. Hell yea...

[ochoastl]

Dwyane Wade is calling.

Oh the nWo music. I betcha this is Chris Bosh. Chris Bosh waited all this time. It must be Chris Bosh!

Holy smokes! That's LeBron James' music. And there he is. James is here!

LeBron James is in this? LeBron James!

[nwo4lyfe15]

Being from Michigan (Nash being from Detroit), Hall being my all time favorite wrestler, the reaction to Hogan's theme @ 1:25 into this video, and the nWo showing respect by wearing the nWo 6-ball (Syxx being one of my all time favorites) and being 12 at the at the Palace of Auburn Hills live for WW3 1997 was a dream come true too early!

[SwissChi]

i hate McMahon for monopolizing wrestling and making it shit.  i miss wcw and the real ecw. at least we still have njpw and aaa

[71chevellesupersport]

This was my favorite ww3 ! Hall wins by default ! lol 4 life !

[chefboyardeeg1]

Damn this was 10x better then the royal rumble

[Joee1257]

i love how the first time Hogan did the Diamond Cutter on DDP Tony and Tenay didn't even notice, but the second time he did it they immediatly noticed...Also, the second time he did it DDP's head didn't even hit the ground lol

[docbattle07]

the hogan diamond cutter>>> lmao

[Taubi81]

HOGAN kicks ass. hogan in topform.

[potheadNZ]

man this was when wrestling was at its best, good times, , nWo 4 life

[nohope0311]

hogan had the best enterance theme

[JMVEntertainment]

hogan = wrestling god

[FLO31]

haha.. AWESOME.. i miss these days..

[SamGotii]

hogans the man!!!

[Pcfan11]

"Dun hurt meh plz"

"LOL trolled"

"o u gaiz lulz"

[alfenlied]

fuck hogan diamond cutter ddp

[donkeyplayer]

greatest time of my life

[ktosztarnowa]

Paul Wright is "Big Show" for kids which see on TV WWE.

For me Paul is "The Giant" from WCW

WCW,nWo 4 ever!

[rand9234]

i believe bobby was just refering to his size.just as he would say,that guy is the size of a house,doesnt really mean the guy is that big it's just a saying.he has done that his whole career.check out the older tapes where he wrestles,some good matches.

[iwanttoseemrshow]

Hollywood Hulks the fuck OUT! 3:00

[dsutton08]

NWO 4 Life is right. These were the good ol days!!!

[gnetikjakhammer]

nWo -4- Life!

Also, wtf Brain.....4 giants? how can 1 giant all of a sudden become 4 giants? I know what he's TRYING to say, but damn...what an error on his part.

[lookatme777]

Damn this is pretty cool. Hogan actually does some really cool stuff here. The only thing that was kind of weird is Nash coming out as Sting. I think that he was too tall and they should have gotten someone else like Buff Bagwell to dress up as Sting. Other than that it is STILL cool to watch. Cant wait till I buy this tape.

[deedooc]

7:04 lol

[Primegod3000]

This is why when Vince tryed to bring the nWo to the WWE, it wasn't gonna work after Hogan got hurt and Nash left. Because without these 3 men right here there is NO nWO...Hall, Nash, & Hogan the Pioneers of that shit.

nWo for life!!!!!!

[HokiesAndDawgs]

This was so fucking epic. Hear that pop for Hogan when he came out? WCW was so fresh back then because HEELS were being cheered like faces. You never saw kids cheering for heels before the nWo.

WCW had the greatest idea ever when it came to glorifying heels and making them cool. It had never been done.

Bischoff is just the fucking man. Just an epic entrance by Hogan.

THE....THE BIGGEST ICON IN WRESTLING!!!

nWo 4 Life!!!

[BAMBOOLOUNGE]

Imagine if it woulda been a kevin nash mask as well, then he took it off and it was vince..........

[twelve98]

Oh i remember watching this live and then marking out when hogan came out. Awesome moment!!!!!

[Hooah1984]

It looks like Hogan is telling the fan at 4:26 "Yeah we all know Sting isn't 6'11 just go with it!"

[natureboy84]

Man I hated Hogan in WCW. He was so annoying and one of the guys who ruined it.

[HokiesAndDawgs]

Hogan > The entire WWE

Had nothing to do with the downfall of WCW. Guaranteed money, Vince Russo, and Time Warner not wanting wrestling destroyed it.

[BillieStingJean]

This Is BY FAR HOGANS BEST ENTRANCE... SERIOUS.. I REMEMBER GOING WILD WHEN HE CAME OUT!

[juanbotello1]

You're right. He has been running for over a decade. Exclude Rey from the list. And u're right, he has been one of the best cruiserweights in WCW back then. But I was talking about the heavyweight division. The franchises back then like the boys I mentioned. Rey and Eddie were rolling hard back then, but they didn't get a mainevent push until they went to WWF. They weren't as big as they are today. Again, I apologize, and no, I'm not on crack. I'm just a heavyweight fan.

[collingwoodrules]

in 1997 and 1998 wcw was better than wwf

[tsb049]

it actually shows how stupid wcw is. the announcers were told to play dumb and believe it was the real sting. another example of wrestling insulting the fans intelligence.

[petersavonich123]

the giant=big show, i never knew he was in WCW

[NijyuShogunateSan]

sigh....... peter you must be 12 years old thats the problem now with wwe there fans are either kids or adults with an IQ of 3. HHH sucks cena sucks as well they konw about 4 moves and god some one teach cena that so called stf submisson hold  how to do it.

[lilcenafan]

im 11 and i know the giant was in wcw

[juanbotello1]

Kiddo, I see that you're a youngster. Wrestling today isn't what it used to be in the late 90s. Forget about Batista, Cena, Mysterio, Orton etc.  You wanna see GREAT wrestlers, try Razor Ramon aka Scott Hall, Big Daddy Cool Diesel aka Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, Sting, Goldberg, Stone Cold, Rock, Kane (with mask) and many more. These are just a few I named.

[HokiesAndDawgs]

The Giant was actually cool in WCW and a main eventer. He held the heavyweight championship a few times. In WWE, he's nothing more than a gabage jobber for Cena and other trash.

The Giant > Big Show

[KingOfRock8887]

do u even know what a jobber is???? obviusly not

[HokiesAndDawgs]

Yes, I do. Apparently, you don't.

[KingOfRock8887]

Evidently not a jobber is someone with no build up that job's every event with no offense theirs a difference being a jobber and doing a job.

[lesnmatt]

Greatest entrance/music.........ever.

[chiefwiggum1812]

which 1? nWo or hogan?

[eazyerev]

I ahte what the wwe is...with the PG rating and the building of Cena from guy with ruthless aggression to rapper to Role Model.........and the mistreatment of their best young stars (Shelton, Morrison....etc). But even with all that. TNA still sucks. Christan is on ECW...sure its not the ideal place. But all you TNA fans will watch just to see how he is used. On the other hand. good luck with the dudleys fighting for the world title. I hope WWE Petey Williams

[TheShadowBrigade]

Lets face it bro, they wouldn't let him use the Canadian Destroyer anyways. Heres to Petey joining ROH

[hairyballsinurmouth]

I remember begging my folks to buy WCW ppv's, those were the good days, when I didnt have to pay.

[fantastic4stuttgart]

hogen got really crazy that night, bodyslammed the Giant, gave DDP the diamond cutter....

[blayzed87]

.. dumb commentators.. hogan didnt eliminate himself.. he went through the 2nd rope

[gnetikjakhammer]

dumb youtube comment.....wcw's battle royal is not like wwe's. As long as ur feet touch the floor(no matter what rope you go over/under). Learn your facts before you comment you ignorant jerk.

[byh07]

even tho this is wcw world war 3 ur still only get eliminated by going ova the TOP ROPE! Its just hogan wernt supposed to be in the match anyway so it dint matter!

[gnetikjakhammer]

no no no no.....im a massive wcw fan, i would know, so back up....this isn't wwe, and thank goodness for that.

[byh07]

the whole concept of a battle royal is to go ova the top rope! thats the point hogan was making at the end of world war 3 95! WISE UP

[ffrikku]

Actually, they did at one point they did change the rule that you dont need to go over top rope all that needed to happen was both feet touch the floor. I remember that specifically because I remember that not making much sense considering its a battle royal and its always been over the top rope but they did change it so both of you guys are right technically,

[steelcityroller]

WoW. I really thought that was Sting.... I mean because Sting is always 7-foot tall and steps over the top rope. LOL

[WWE43088]

world war 3 is the best pay per view than any other WCW pay per view in their history in my opinion.

[cbright99]

If anyone wants to know where war games is WWE Elimination Chamber is it, same rules apply 2 men start every 5 mins another comes in. World War 3 was a bad creation of the Royal Rumble. This could work but I honestly doubt it.

[Mfranklin8]

i think someone may have mentioned this already but this is one of the reasons why wcw is no longer is business. a bogus sting which is obviously not sting comes from the rafters and the announcers think it is sting. i mean, kevin nash is alot taller than sting and sting wouldn't walk over the ropes. yeah, the real sting is as tall as the giant.

[lilnature]

dont hate on wcw i hate it left ...wwe sucks in every way if it wasnt for tna i would have to stop watching wrestling

[Cmpunkmark101]

lol tna anit that good eather wwe is crap but its a hell of alot better then tna but then again I have taken shits better then tna and there booking

[gnetikjakhammer]

actually the only reason why you say that wwe is better than the current tna product is because wwe is well-known. WWE is absolutely horrible. there are no long lasting storylines. Only the championship storylines that come to an end at every ppv.

At least TNA has an ongoing storyline w/ basically the old guys vs the new guys. And it keeps building up to be bigger and bigger. Plus they have better wrestlers and TNA's matches are way more entertaining.

[stevebostonian]

is this jeff jarrett?

[eazyerev]

hilarious!!!!

[Scaura90]

Can some1 tell me why they have so many rings?

[gorilladerek]

its a world war 3 mtach, just like the royal rumble but with 3 rings

[Scaura90]

what was that other event where theres 2 rings and like a cage?

[gorilladerek]

it was called WarGames

[Scaura90]

what was the idea of that...people go in and they get eliminated by pinfall? instead of bein thrown over the top rope?

[gorilladerek]

well in the WarGames cage match it was team WCW vs. team NWO and basically it was an elimination tag match

[ESchorcho]

"He put a diamond cutter on DDP!"

Thanks, Tony Tony Schiavone. Wouldn't have known that without your expert play by play. It's not like I can see or anything.

And since when did Sting stand at 6'10" and walk over the top rope to get in the ring. Tony, Tenay and Heenan couldn't figure that one out? The announcers for WCW were terrible.

[theinfamouscamXXII]

Hogan entering to "Voodoo Child" was so epic!

[eazyerev]

awesome entrance. Hollywood

[nwofan2]

4 life!

[zaymills]

In all of wrestling history the face wins clean at some point, wcw never got one up clean on nwo ever right?

[SmokeRulz]

Not that I recall.

[harbra0b]

two words, BILL GOLDBERG

[Cmpunkmark101]

Its shit like this that made grow to hate WCW just once i wanted the nwo to get there ass handed to them also turning the Four Horsemen into wussy's when NwO showed up to did not help and do no get me started about the whole sting Starrcade crap but I still wish they were around cause it made Vince try hard and lets face it Vince is not scared of TNA

[NYvexed]

The crowd went nuts when hogan came out....ahh haven't heard that kind of reaction in awhile in wrestling.

[northfield1]

why was there 3 rings?

[recota316]

because its 60 men battle royal at world war 3.. after there's 20 men left then they all gotta be in same ring.. hope that answers it for you

[travisrosenau]

what kind of a dum fucker do u have to be to believe it was sting? Over top rope?

[travisrosenau]

great times innovative is wcw, wwe is boring

[Cmpunkmark101]

innovative and wcw are 2 things that do not belong in the same post wcw was good(only because of the CW divsion) and even that they killed

[josiah1218]

84 weeks they beat wwe in ratings and they wernt inovative ok..

[Cmpunkmark101]

ya the wwe beat them for over a 100 weeks they werent inovative all they did was take an angle that had worked in Japan and did it in the us and milked it and let there egos not put any one over and that cost them tons of young stars that would leave for wwe or ecw

[harbra0b]

you're an idiot, Hogan & the nWo angle is what made wcw beat wwf. CW my ass. There were good matches in CW but I wont turn away from Bret Hart VS Undertaker to watch Rey Mysterio VS Pyschosis. It was the nWo that took WWF fans

[DamienDraiman]

Yea and it was Hogan and The nWo's Greedy way of only letting themselves get pushed and win over and over again that help led WCW to it's demise and ultimately be bought out by the WWF. That and Steve Austin was just incredible in a span of 4 years (1997-2001).

[mrp0518]

true but really WCW only had a 3 year span really I mean without the NWO they were doing horrible anyways until Hogan and company showed up like it or not. WCW would have gone out of business eventually anyways if Ted Turner hadn't bought it. WCW was in the red for years and it would have still been around if they hadn't cancelled Nitro and Thunder. Their ratings to think about this is double what TNA does and what most of cable does even in its dying days. It just looked bad compared to WWE.

[mwondrak]

5:14 Kevin Nash, classic

[OfExecution]

I'd like to see how this n W o would rule in the WWE....cause WWE sucks...

[Cmpunkmark101]

ya they would rule oh wait its all scrited and HHH taker HBK are there and would not let hogen get away with this shit now

[Frank19001]

Scott Hall 4 live

[thegreatindy]

Hulk Hogan eliminated himself by going over the second rope and not the top? What a contradiction! lol

[2008allstar]

ddp was tha shit back then.

[soulmending]

Wow, that was 11 years ago! I loved WcW- and NASH...boy howdy! :)

[therealdealtripleh]

hey plz put world war 3 1997 full and 1998

[TRAGIC777]

dis was a great match!!! history,baby

[StardollJournalists]

WCW WAS FAKE LOL

[karkev34]

All wrestling is fake. lol.

[dreammmmmmmmmm]

it was scripted, not fake.

[11anthonys]

not like every shit you see on tv is 100% real

[10Xcrazy]

ddp got owned

[10Xcrazy]

wcw memories im bout 2 cry

[mrcat38]

good for the hulkster...

[ecmbchickenman]

Hall looked kinda skinny back here

[Koonap2]

They should've known that wasn't Sting when he stepped OVER the ropes.

[ThaFlameofATown]

Yeah, everybody figured that out once it happened. You can tell the fans were kinda deflated.

[UInACrash]

HULK HOGAN gave DDP a diamond cutter at 5:39 LMAO

[iangoblin71]

hahaha...a 7-foot-tall Sting, huh? and half the people don't know it's not him! check out Hogan prance around at the end. lol

[upside15]

mcmahon should bring World War 3 back....possibly the winner gets a shot at "night of champions"...ECW stars in one ring, Smackdown in one ring, and Raw in one ring......too bad WWE Blows though

[tito055]

tha will b stupid if he do dat

[Koonap2]

They should do this at every year's bash. The last superstar in each ring goes on to Summerslam to face the world champ on their brand and the ultimate winner wins a title shot and is dubbed "King of the Ring".

[juanbotello1]

Nah, I think he should bring Halloween Havoc back.

[Ermac187]

thats obviously not sting, dumbasses lol

[ddnbears]

thats awesome

[Evanation]

shit, when hogans theme hits, i totally lost it. tooo fuckin sweeeeeet

[toadsniffing]

nwo for life! hollywood hogan for life!

[bookmark1]

What'a he doing here?

[tkepe230]

Hogan went under the rope and we all knew at that time that Nash is way too big to be Sting..
