  • number # 1 ric flair hulk hogan dusty rhodes sting maco man john stud super star gram harley race bruno sammartino ricky steamboat by mjeffers from bmore
  • gained alot of respect and understanding for bisschoff after watching this epissode and the Monday Night Wars episode

  • Bischoff is a politician. Thats why hes called 'Sleazy E'

  • Buff Bagwells mom would carry his balls in her purses.

  • I LOVE the reactions of everyone when Hayes says Vince Russo made the attitude era, you know they're like 5 seconds from bursting out laughing at it.

  • NEED MORE COFFEE

  • TV-14

  • Bischoff is so damn smart. He knows this isn't his domain, not his home turf, so he damn sure aint gunna stir anything up here.

  • i met lex luger in 1993 he was pretty cool :) :)

    

  • Yeah. Ultimate Warrior was top of the heap. The guy didn't give a flat out fuck about wrestling, he just wanted money.

  • king is such a douche bag, he only got a vasectomy so he couldnt get teenage girls pregnant

  • holy crap two sightings of benoit!

  • I can't believe that none of them brought up the Ultimate Warrior.

  • @1in6win I was thinking the exact same thing, he would be the one that has no redeeming qualities whatsoever

  • Say what you want about Luger,but he is a big part of early 90's WCW

  • daaamn luger got buried alive on this. its pretty cocky of bischoff to say luger treated people badly. bischoff flat out ignored some mid carders in wcw when he was running it. i mean literalliy he would not even speak to guys who said hey to him. thats been stated by various wrestlers in shoot interviews and even mentioned in power slam magazine.

  • @tvlicenceevader666 its like he said at 58 min in, it was his ship, hes paying ppl to do what he says and wants and thats it, wcw was trying to compete with wwe and that took a lot of work and big names. and it happens in business everywhere, look it up. big lawyers pay attention to big cases and let there lacky lawyers handle small ones for example

  • 0:29:35 and 0:29:13 Fucking lol I cried

  • 17:58 "wait a minute...you worked out?" lmfao

  • Excellent!

  • This is the best show ever.

  • The more I see these roundtables, the more I think Jim Ross is one of the funniest people in the business.

  • When did this air? I just saw Chris Benoit on a WWE program.

  • @stingernick In the fine print at the beginning of the show it said (c) 2007.

  • @mgier87 Hmmm now I really want to know when in 07. Because Benoit was erased from existence from WWE in that June of that year.

  • @stingernick By copyright looks like sometime in 2007.

  • @Arson314 Worst possible year. Now I need to know if it was before or after June of that year. That's the year Benoit was erased from history.

  • @stingernick Well I can't find an actual release date, but it looks like they did it in "seasons" over the course of that year, and this is like the 3rd episode that aired. So if the "seasons" were on monthly basis (Which I assume they were) then this was probably aired around march of 2007.

  • its strange to see a ric flair knife edge chop and not hear "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

  • I can listen to these 5 guys talk about anything for hours on end.

  • oklahoma's debut in wrestling was in WWF

  • LMAO!!!! JR went in on bagwell at the end hahaha

  • Bischoff seems like an honest guy who owns up to his mistakes. I respect that.

  • @stoy1000 Yeah, definitely have a lot more respect for Bischoff after seeing this

  • @stoy1000 When he's working for the guy that beat him. Since going to TNA he's pretty much reverted back to his WCW days.

  • @stoy1000 You know what I've wondered ever since I first saw this?? If Bischoff weren't on the panel for this one how much shit would the other's have talked about him lol. But I Agree with you Bischoff showed a lot of class here for owning up for mistakes he made

  • Dear Cane Dewey fan

    Are you proud for being the impetuous for driving Foley away from ECW?

  • why is it they edit out GOD but leave in DAMN IT!  Like saying God is like saying shit fuck bitch cunt?!

  • @DocGoose1980 No, saying God is offensive because it's blasphemy. Saying the other words is offensive because they're profane. Saying God in that way is using God's name as a profanity.

  • @Sage80 Only if you're religious. It's still absurd to mark out the name "God" and not the profanity that goes along with it ("damn" shouldn't even be a curse word, in my opinion.)

  • @KevinLockard23 and many viewers are religious. If damn shouldn't be a curse, then why are you complaining about it being bleeped? Double standard.

  • @Sage80 then I have to say WHY not Bleep the whole thing OR the Damn it part? Thats BullSH*!! AND "profane" language is just a group of words that people have give power to like the N word or wetback or FUCK! They are just letters put together to let people know how you feel! NOTHING more. I swear like a sailor and I use every word in the english language BUT the "strong" one get a point across BUT I dont say them around children!

  • @DocGoose1980 are you seriously getting worked up about it?

  • notice how Bischoff dosn't show intrest untill it's a story about Heyman getting injured?

  • Michael Hayes is giving Bischoff a hard time in this.

  • I got a boner when i saw it was hosted by Jim Ross.

  • nash said he asked arn if he was ok with it. arn said he was.

    that parody was awesome. i loved it.

  • I disagree on the ecw money thing in y2j's book the money he made i estimated up to 500 dollars every time he wrestled there

  • Is it me or is Bischoff looking really shifty and uncomfortable here??

  • @caressedpackage Bischoff is a heat seeker in his own right.

  • ding ding ding.

  • i liked the freebirds in their day but now michael p.s. hayes acts sorta like a mcmahon butt kissing prick ive just watched a couple of these and if he has some heat with someone he tries throwing jabs at them to put them in a bad light idk there is just something about him now, rude , bitter, something

  • @kristoffdalost Alcoholic lol

  • This isn't the same without Cornette. If he was here, oh fuck.

  • @srka42 If Cornette were on, he would have turned the dial on Russo and Ferrara straight to maximum.

  • This would have been better without Hayes

    

  • First time I ever saw Mick without a beard

  • Funny that as badly as Eric talks about Luger, he made him the champion in 1997, beating Hogan.

  • even then, flair was old

  • wow has flair always been old?

  • Around the 55 min mark I think What Eric was trying to say but couldn't seem to get out. Was the Arn thing was done/meant to be funny and entertaining even if it was insensitive and tasteless, the "Oklahoma" thing was simply done as a personal insult.

  • im surprised Shawn wasnt on anyones list, or flair for that matter

  • @Jaymzofsteel Flair is at the TOP of My Heat Seekers list.

  • Flair is the best of my generation

  • The fact Foley and bischoff are seated next to each other is amazing

  • @manleyrf Eric told Mick when he left WCW if he ever wanted to come back he was welcome, so he didn't leave on bad terms. Are you saying that because of the "now that's gonna put asses in seats" comment ?

  • @manleyrf More amazing would be Flair and Bischoff seated next to each other.

  • I'd love to see Vince participate in a LOW episode just 1 time :D

  • I guess Goldberg doesnt wanna be another WCW star being ridiculed in WWE............and he did it

  • Hogan is the greatest. Hulkamania and the NWO - enough said!

  • i was a fan since the 80s people talk about the work rate of people like nash for example but the internet was not around when i loved it so i guess i never cared about work rate but i dont care cause i loved their characters

  • 1:00:00 Hogans gust of awesomeness as he walks by causes brain anurisms.

  • Goldberg was the man,plain and simple.

  • Why does Hayes keep interrupting?

    Considering that he is at the same table as Lawler, Ross, and Foley--true legends--he's lucky to have even been considered, and should probably have been more respectful.

  • @SmilingSynic Don't say that to any older guys in the South.

  • This would be a lot more enjoyable if they would cut out the interuppting bs and let guys talk.

  • I really enjoy watching these guys talk about their days of wrestling. They are talking with those they feud and fought, those who were their "enemies" altjough many of them are their good friends in real life as they are now talking with laughter as "good old days". It's really nice to see them enjoying themselves as they chill out and chat about what we talk about - WRESTLING.

  • @unorthodoxtrotsky MANY OF THEM ARE LEGIT ENEMIES THOUGH SO YOU ARE WRONG!

  • I could sit here and watch these all day.

  • wcw was always garbage

  • Why doesn't anybody ever talk about Luger's match with Flair at Starrcade '88? That match is almost flawless in its performance and has one of the best finishes that Dusty ever came up with. I didn't see a finish that emotionally engaging again until Hart/Austin at WM13.

  • Watching heyman's promo...makes me think that,if they make a movie about ECW,they should have Henry Rollins play Heyman

  • Kevin Nash was the worst heat seeker. That guy ruined WCW

  • @auggie87 agreed , thought he ran the place and watever he said goes

  • @auggie87 It wasn't just Nash, It was Bischoff,Nash,and Hogan those 3 ruined and Killed off WCW Now I know people will say Vince Russo but the truth of the matter is is that if those 3 hadn't fucked up WCW so bad than Russo wouldn't have had to be hired in the first place

  • King : "The next guy we can all agree on is Paul Heyman!"

    Mick : (quietly in the corner) "I like Paul Heyman..."

    (Everyone looks at Mick awkwardly)

  • idk why but i seriously dislike michael ps hayes

  • @TheEbhagzzz He has a certain vibe about him. I can sort of understand.

  • I can't believe Jim Ross. Upset about what WCW mocking him but WWE has done it and continues to do it. Double standard. IF its wrong its wrong.

  • @MsJAVAGURL I don't think the WWE ever made fun of his Bells Palsy

  • @DaneFalco Exactly

  • @MsJAVAGURL right but JR is a hypocrite....great announcer...but a hypocrite...plus that WCW thing was hilarious was it not? lol

  • Jerry seems so laid back and an overall nice guy--a complete 180 from his on-air persona.

  • You know that they would have spent 30 mins talking about Bischoff if he wasn't on this panel lol.

  • @pablo78561 lol hell yeah

  • "My leg oh god! my leg." lol

  • @javis88h FLAIRS LEG WAS HURT FOR REAL THERE YOU THINK THATS FUNNY?

  • @oldschool6804 hey he used to sell outside bumps all the time, how was I sapose to know if it was real?

  • i miss ECW. that was some good times.

  • If this was a weekly or daily show on tv i would watch it

  • lol takes Hayes til 56 mins to say he "might" be a company guy? yea claiming the attitude era wasn't just directly ripped from ECW didn't reveal that at all. Also claiming the new world order was bischoff's creation. Yea again, wasn't stolen from Japan at all.

  • I respect Paul Heyman (as a person) more than I ever will Vince McMahon & Eric Bischoff.

  • It was so fucking disrespectful of what Ed Ferrara and Vince Russo did to JR in WCW. They were that determined to get ratings they would make fun of a man with a physical disability. Cornette is right about both of them

  • Funny how for Ed Ferrara's impression to work, all the WCW fans would need to know the Raw product. Just shows how desperate WCW was.

  • JR give up on Buff Bagwell nobody cares

  • WOW, no Warrior? That shocks me!

  • @e1ep4an1 no Warrior=no Lawsuits!

  • Micheal Hayes Likes Classic R&B?

  • @robinsl27 yeah wtf

  • WCW's pool of talent was unmatchable.

  • @godanselmo What talent

  • @Bryannia25 Were you asleep during the Monday Night Wars or something? you're prob a 11 year old Cena fan who knows shit about wrestling.

  • @godanselmo Are you upset that i think guys like Nash Hogan and Flare have no talent. It seems you did not watch many of they're matches it did not matter who they wrestle it was the same match over and over . It got old WWE seen this that was why they were going for younger talent.

  • Whoa! Actual Benoit sighting @ 22:29!

  • Buff Bagwell lost his job not soon after that

  • Paul Heyman was like a general doing his promos. I like the guy for what he did with ECW

  • @2texastornado Paul Heymann is an amazing wrestling mind, but he seems like kind of a jerk to people, from what we've heard here and from Jim Cornette.

  • @MrIzick I would give him that and the passion for the sport too. You can't please everyone too eh?!

  • crowd went nuts over luger never heard that before

  • didnt realize at the time, but the way the wcw announcers jerked themselves off to goldberg's shitty matches was laughable

  • @zacwp kinda reminds you of how wwe anouncers jerk off to cenas matches right?

  • @MeThinks995 and the kiddies too.

  • @zacwp I didn't realize at the time, but I freaking hate Tony Schavione.

  • @zacwp the hysteria is no longer present

  • Mick Foley: "There are times when I came back for money".. *laughter Eric Bischoff raises his hand* for some reason that made me crack up haha

  • This is by far my favorite episode of legends. Thanks for posting it.

  • lol...the "beloved" Eric Bischoff

    Eric looks a little pissed.

  • yes Eric, ECW was a "niche" promotion. It provided great wrestling for ppl tired of Glacier and American Males.

  • Very cool & interesting video! Thanks for posting!

  • 23:00 I thought WWE censored all footage of Chris Benoit???

  • KING:PAUL HEYMAN

    MICK FOLEY:I LIKE PAUL HEYMAN

    0-0

  • Thanks for uploading!

  • 24:05....i remember those days where i went crzy when goldberg hit the spear! lol

  • Poor J.R. had to wait till the very end to tell his Buff Bagwell story. Lol.

  • when was this???

  • @louisandmates 2007 I believe

  • Without eric bischoff wrestling wouldnt of been as interesting in the late 90s etc great guy!

  • I LOVE how JR wanted to keep going back to Buff Bagwell in this episode, really funny.

  • Thanks for uploading this. I fucking LOVE this series. Wish they made a new one for every week.

  • I was looking for Ed Ferrara's impersonation of JR during the Luchadore pinata on the pole match! That was so funny; STICK! STICK! STICK! and WHO'S YOUR DADDY, SILVER KING!!. Hilarious. Ed Ferrara did it in WWF too, I wonder why that was never brought up (keep in mind I haven't finished watching this discussion yet, so I may have to eat my words later).

  • Wow, Jim Ross is funnier than I thought he'd be.

  • Love this stuff! Gossip, yes!! But entertaining as hell! And to see these guys letting their hair down & confiding these bits; nice to seem them as humans. Thanks for loading! MORE!

  • wowwww lmao i cud watch loa all day, and mick foley is hilarious.....michael hays is funny as well, i hope all the racial stuff ive benn hearing about him isnt true.....foley's razor ramon impersonation was gold lol

  • i never saw Luger use the torture rack while in the wwf

  • Mick Foley is the GOAT

  • Im Subscribing to this guy, aslong as I can get more of these videos!

  • Comment removed

  • Michael P.S. Hayes and Lex Luger became tight on the road by listening to old school R&B. That is why I appreciate this program, to hear boys in the back in that business and entrance themes say they listen to "classic R&B". I can only imagine what those two listening were to: was it the Temptations, Al Green, or Otis Redding; maybe Stevie Wonder, or the Stylistics, Earth, Wind & Fire?

  • @Jabberwock619 from what i've heard, there was a donnie hathaway song that made them both cry... great stuff, classic wrestling & timeless music.

  • @jdbankshot wow... that is pretty amazing to hear. As a fan for over 20 years now I even forget that these men maintain aspects of lives outside our view, especially considering the access the business sells to the fans. The interviews just remind me that these are real pro's doing their thing 200+ a year, but still maintain a life beyond the  characters.

  • @Jabberwock619 ya, cool isn't it? also sad in a way, cuz many of these guys were most likely going through what you described..."they love my CHARACTER, not me." when i was 10, i met jacques rougeau in montreal, pre-wwf. it was "backstage" & a young lady was trying to pick him up, lots of flirting. it was odd to see these guys as "people"... if i remember the hayes account, the crying may also have been assisted by more than just the song, if you get my drift. despite that, real pros indeed.

  • When was this?????

  • I used to invent the Attitude Era, then I took an arrow to the knee.

  • Love how even the crew are laughing when Hayes rips Russo for always claiming that he invented the Attitude Era

  • @PureDynamiteKid ya, actually, i'm sick of it to, i was just putting up my flag... martel & patterson were excellent. i met martel & touched the classic awa belt in 85 at the paul sauve arena in montreal, helluva nice guy. joyeux noel de la belle province!

  • Thank you for uploading. Love the interviews about the past. Great Videos

  • It's kinda weird how these guys are afraid to diss Mcmahon, I know he's paying their checks and all, but still, when Ed Ferrera makes fun of JR, it's world war 3.... when Vince does it... it's all the sudden not a big deal.

  • I always get the impression Hayes is lying, but I can't help but love him for it

  • Interesting to see the dynamic between Hayes and Lawler, especially when Lawler is telling the story about the fire throwing as apparently they have legitimate heat backstage

  • Not sure if this was commented upon, but did I see Benoit in a few clips?....I am suprised since the WWE has all but erased him from the memory of most current fans.

  • insulting jr is just low class

  • i give a ton of credit to Eric Bischoff, he gets a lot of hate but he's the first to admit to his mistakes. Will always be a very important figure in professional wrestling.

  • @mohammad5

    totally agree

  • @mohammad5 Yeah, history is written by the victors, i.e. McMahon. And WCW, Bischoff, and every wrestler on his s-tlist (Warrior) get short thrift because of it.

  • @artikel you're right to an extent, but you make it sound like McMahon's fault, when really it isn't at all.

  • @mohammad5

    you're totally right man, he comes across as a decent guy in this show thats for sure

  • Outstanding upload, all credit to FirestormPurify 10/10.....

  • WHAT!!!! NO DYNAMITE KID, THE BIGGEST BACKSTAGE BITCH EVER??!! tom billington is a perfect example of the existence of karma... living in social housing in england, rolling in a wheelchair, bitter as fuck... tom, you deserved what jacques rougeau gave you.

  • @jdbankshot Stop watching Honky Tonk Man's shoot and develop your own opinion you moron
