RVD vs Kevin Nash

[jsmoore1011]

Rob van dam's first match in wcw was against my neighbor Pat Rose.

@jsmoore1011 Ever ask him any wrestling related questions? Find out some good backstage stories from Pat and tell us about it.

[plenchful]

Ha! I found this cuz of Bryan and Vinny too. Man, it's amazing how bad of a worker Nash is/was. I think Big Sexy blew out 7 different quads in this match, which is impressive when you consider that the human body has only 2.

[MilkmanNorm]

Bryan and Vinny reviewed this match today

[Missing5thHorseman]

@MilkmanNorm Bryan and Vinny?

[Rulinator]

@Missing5thHorseman Bryan Alvarez and his friend Vinny doing a radio show on Figure 4 Weekly. They're about as funny as watching a parent die in front of your eyes.

[Missing5thHorseman]

@MilkmanNorm Gotcha.

[datingish]

wow that's awesome, i guess it takes a while for guys to get over and u need a place to shine..

So Nash never had any moves .. classic

[josephjamescomedy]

At this time I thought Robbie V was a pair of wrestling boots away from being a superstar!

[josephjamescomedy]

I remember this tournament and both guys being in it. Didn't know they fought each other.  Do you think ANYONE knew they were watching TWO future World champions?

Ive been a wrestling fan since i was 3 in 1985.I hate it when people say your too old to like wrestling. 29 years old and i still love it, like the NFL, no age limit. I WANTED to be a wrestler, but didnt have the money to train, ill always regret it. Man it was such a huge part of my life. GOD I miss being a kid, god i miss Saturday nights at 5:05, and my grandma who raised me, cooking our weekly Saturday night Hamburgers and Hotdogs and fries. And watching WCW. Wish there was a time machine.

[tmbttes]

@TombstoneInc don't forget waking up Saturday morning to WCW Power Hour, those were the days man no doubt

[TombstoneInc]

Paul Orndorff WON this tournament. I have no idea why the title was forfeited. HOWEVER, i miss the old days, I MISS wcw. I MISS wrestling. SURE entertainment has always been part of it, BUT THESE DAYS thats all it is. WRESTLING doesnt seem to matter. THOSE 30 minute classics are gone. Technical wrestling is dieing. THANK god for people who post these old classics, BUT sadly they will soon be deleted, as YOUTUBE is changing. I MISS tournaments that meant something, WE dont have those anymore.

[johnissoevil]

Nash would be in WWE not long after this.

[1butane]

how funny rvd goes from rob van dam, to robby v (given by jim ross while in wcw) then reverted back to rob van dam

[smtowntokyojapan]

haha. @ 4:34 I've never seen nash try to do a flying elbow off the ring post before. total fail.. guess that's why he never does it.

[jdrhjr]

lol...Nash before he used the power bomb...and RVD before....errr...before he actually won matches and wore wrestling boots?

[biffvonwrinkle]

holy shit i remember this match!!! just for the weird fact that rvd was barefoot

[johnnyrainbow50]

lol Vinny Vegas and Robby V what is this jersey shore?

[Rochelle973]

nice to see 2 awesome wrestlers so young and in the old wcw

[CryptOfEternity]

horrible

[ICEGOD2]

two future world champs wow.

[ricey23]

what year was this?

[Missing5thHorseman]

@ricey23 93

[xxdrummer92xx]

@Missing5thHorseman I can tell look at those mullets.lol. and I find it funny that within the past almost 20 years and RVD still has the same hair style

[ROCKNINJA777]

that's the same tony schivone or whatever? he sounds different

[TheWholeFknShow]

Robbie V Robbie V

[hairbandfan]

Talk about a mismatch of in ring talent. Nash = pure shit

RVD = great in ring worker.

[sanddune]

@hairbandfan Talk about yet another mark with an opinion that holds no credibility.

[jphuture]

i think austin won this tournament

[Missing5thHorseman]

Actually Paul Orndorff wins it, beating Erik Watts in the finals.

[jphuture]

o yea!! this iz when they changed from the nwa to the wcw tv title belt

[skinnereturns]

@jphuture I think this was from 92-93. WCW had long changed from the NWA by this time. The tournament was started when Scott Steiner vacated the title after he left for WWE. RVD came about from jobber Vs jobber matches if i remember correctly.

[crassyfrake]

@jphuture when they changed to WCW they didnt change any champions, they just phased out the nwa belts and brought in new ones that said wcw on them(I think Arn Anderson was the "last" NWA and "first" WCW TV champ)

[TheREALAceHaven]

I like how they say it's concrete, when it's obviously a basketball court.

[sychowalker]

Nash doing a flying elow?????

[franklin81]

no mat around the ring. mention of eric watts. yup, must be the watts era. good stuff though.

[Missing5thHorseman]

Yes, the Erik Watts Era of Wrestling was upon us.

[franklin81]

I somehow found it oddly compelling though, mostly cause of matches like this, getting to see some early RVD
