Legends of Wrestling Over & Underachievers Part 1

[TeslaDRay]

haha, on demand. same here.

[CMakaveli91]

Just look at JR's face at 2:33 and you can tell something isn't right. The right side of his face is drooping compared to the left as a result of the Bells Palsy.

[Siepher83]

@CMakaveli91 i believe it was a stroke. happened awhile ago

[MKShaggy1985]

Ultimate Warrior was an under achiever and an over achiever.

[TheCocky69]

@MKShaggy1985 true

[Sage80]

Whose jaw did Lawler break?

[Azatdawn]

@Sage80 Paul Heyman's.

[MrMatthewRice]

@Sage80 Paul Heymans. Look up on youtube, Legends of Wrestling: Heatseekers, and you'll get the whole story, as far as why he did it.

[91BoneDaddy]

"rock'in" the fanny pack ahaha awwee yeeuuh

[GlorifiedTruth]

High five to Pillbug and Liger... a lot of those high-flying guys really don't know how to work a match, but those guys had it going ON.

[DMG118]

Thanks postman220289 =D

[peytonplacecali]

Was J.R. talking about over achievers, or was he saying he was a over achiever. He is always selling himself. Was he saying he over achieved because there was no territories for him to pull from? That's what sucks about him. He thinks he is more important than he is.

[marvhartigan]

@peytonplacecali You sorta missed the point. He was explaining how things worked when he took over JJ's job as EVP of Talent Relations. I think he did a damn good job in putting over both Austin and Pillman.

[boloby]

Love the Rock's fanny pack.

[geodeuce]

The Rock had territorial experience in the USWA.

[depechegirl02]

@geodeuce I thought the same thing when they said he had no territorial experience, I guess they forgot Flex Kavana lol

[St0rmB]

wonder if that belt is still there in the river

[JasonL77]

@St0rmB I've always thought that it was one of those imitation belts that you can now get off of wweshop. Iwas more amazed at looking at the cell phone & thinking "In the late 90's, that was cutting edge technology. Now that phone's obsolete." One more thing, who carries a pager anymore?

[St0rmB]

@JasonL77 imitation belt or not..I wonder if it's down there. that was, what? 14, 15 years ago? wonder how covered up and buried it would be by now

[GaeasBlessing]

5:40 Roided up Rock with gyno.

[switchbuckle5th]

The funniest thing about this video to me is I used to watch WCW almost exclusively back when JR was the primary announcer. And I don't remember he and Jesse together at all. haha.

[musicalriotgrl1]

this is the kind of stuff that you won't be able to see anymore if SOPA gets it's way...those ass-holes

[muzicfan68]

Yhe Rock was known as Flex Kavana in Memphis

[Carnal894]

I found dx hilarious

[huskerhotelfoxtrot]

10:00 those matches were sick....Liger is incredible in the ring

[jww112093]

The Biggest underachiever of all time: Roddy Piper

[Sonfaro]

@jww112093 Huh?

How you figure that?

[jww112093]

@Sonfaro Well think about it, he never was WWE or World Heavyweight champion, plus, he was talented enough to be that. He was great on the mic, had a pretty good wrestling background, and is probably one of the more entertaining Wrestlers of all time.

[TakerForever]

@jww112093 Piper was an overachiever. He was over in every territory he went to. He did not need the WWF or NWA Championship. His storylines with Hogan and Flair were always big draws everywhere he went. It would've been something if he were the World Champion.

[NxDragon76]

Does ANYONE know of or have the episode "Tag Teams?" Also...all of season 1?

PLEASE?

[kcfan974]

I didn't know Jesse Ventura did commentating for wcw

[ezpkns34]

The Rock sporting the ol' fanny pack

[jonbap426]

Mean Gene looks like he's ready to doze off listening to J. R.

[nevillej2010]

When was this?

[naraicks]

jj, f'n dillon

[MattDdirector]

LOL the Rock at 7:44

[marcernest7]

Underachiever : Rob van dam , kane. Overachiever : cena , hogan

[KiteStrongart]

Rocky's wearing a fanny pack.

Lol 90s.

[sayanroy36]

brian pillman if he didnt die he would have been such a huge start during the attitude era. and in today's era of small guys i cojuld easily see him with the wwe title

a man ahead of his times, wrestling during the wrong generation..and one of the first american puro/lucha type high flyers...rip

[hitmancoolio]

04:56... Huge over achiever.

[frednichols]

I wish JR would get of Astins nuts

[frednichols]

@frednichols Wow the more I watch this the more I realize JR is way off topic. WTF is he talking about?

[CreepyTheButcher]

The way Jim Ross says "skewl" (school) always makes me laugh.

[slipknot789able]

yeah rock you can't forget your oversized flip phone and your pager

[KnuckleheadsFootball]

am i the only one who thinks it's weird that slaughter is dressed up like his character?

[thadarryl]

@KnuckleheadsFootball hahaha He's from the Kayfabe Era I Guess. It is rather funny though. LOL

[theninthprince]

even though it was only a piece...Pillman vs. Liger was AWESOME!!!!

[SmithCommaBenjamin]

@theninthprince Liger was awesome. He carried Pillman. Pillman was simply over-rated compared to his peers.

[jackiedegracia]

@SmithCommaBenjamin

Right. What are your qualifications to say that?

[sanddune]

Over achievers= anything Vince made

Under achievers= anything WCW.

These shows are so predictable. Micheal Hayes is a joke. Jim Ross is a kiss ass. Nothing more.

[yahuwa95]

SUPERBRAWL 2 = Classic

[alphatoddio]

I love this show keep em coming...legends of wrestling roundtables are awesome.

[moneysuccesslegacy]

DAMN!! Jim Ross is good!! I was completely hypnotized for a second!!

[jonbap426]

No offense but Good Ol Jr is putting me to sleep.

[ultimatewarriorz1]

mean gene for president

[MrSuperBacon]

JR used to be the vice president of talent relations? Way better than Johnny Ace...

[bladestormviking]

@MrSuperBacon you have no idea.... all the nasty things people say about laurenaitis in "shoot interviews"...... it's ALL TRUE.

[STaT1o23]

Kenny Powers reffing the Pillman-Liger match!

[NAYellowjackets]

this was a florida angle

[JACK102851]

Overachiever = John Cena

[alpine3000]

Jim ross is so horny for mene gene in these things.

[77danigga]

they should do one of these with all present day start. do a round table with cm punk, randy orton, sheamus and john cena

[JoshRA]

The Rock wore a fanny pack back then? lulz

[nexivdr]

@JoshRA a lot of people who travel often wear them.

[lowedt]

thanks for posting

[BEARVViTNESS]

thank you so much for the upload man, i love these LOW roundtables

[johnnymaze69]

Rick flairs a chump

[AmericanNohbuddy]

@johnnymaze69

Ric* Flair.

[carl96p]

good old jesse

[filthiestfish]

ff's Jim Ross wouldn't laugh if you tickled his entire body. I haven't seen him smile since 1993 either!

[sav1996can]

@filthiestfish thats because of his bell's palsy im pretty sure or he has something else its biologically he cant smile anymore :( look @ his hallf of fame ceremony. His words are are true, its genioune, but no smile :(

[psychosissafari]

@filthiestfish just put him in a toga. thats the key

[thrberserker1]

@filthiestfish He has bells palsy, half of his face is paralyzed and has been since 1999.

[foxmask1992]

@filthiestfish i dont think jim ross physically can though due to his bells palsy

[DevilTakeMe]

@foxmask1992 There's other videos where you can tell Jim wants to laugh very much, but it would be difficult for him.

[filthiestfish]

@DevilTakeMe Oh..can you tell me which ones they are? I would like to see them

[DevilTakeMe]

@filthiestfish Oh man, I can't remember now. There's a couple moments on Legends of Wrestling where they're telling stories and Jim is ready to bust out laughing, but his face isn't giving for him. I -think- it might have been the Territories episode, or one of the features on particular wrestlers like Terry Funk or Roddy Piper. Sorry I can't recall at the moment.

[ojiisanhikui]

@filthiestfish Can't really blame him for his perceived lack of facial expressions. He had several bouts of Bell's Palsy which paralyzed the left side of his face, so he can't smile that well. But there are several recent Raw broadcasts, particularly a lot of the D-X segments from '06-'09, where he's laughing his head off.

[imlaughing2death]

@ojiisanhikui Wait, someone actually found that DX return stuff funny?

[DrewBludd]

@imlaughing2death DX after 1997 is a miserable thing.

[hbk4eva1]

@filthiestfis he has had three bells palsy attacks...

[CraigWeir1986]

@filthiestfish Really? his face lit up everytime Austin was on screen.

[DrJReefer]

@filthiestfish I'm sure this has been said already, but Bells Palsy will do that to you. It paralyses the face.

[jackiedegracia]

@filthiestfish

He smiled in 1993?

[filthiestfish]

@jackiedegracia Yeah watch the intros of Wrestling Challenge from 1993. He used to cohost the programme with Bobby Heenan. Ross would smile from ear to ear on every intro. Hard to believe now.

[KCIAN2]

@filthiestfish that's not his fault, he has bells pasly, a serious disease which has made his face numb.

[filthiestfish]

@KCIAN2 ok



[hitmancoolio]

@filthiestfish Bells palsy makes it so he can't smile.

[bigmike7379]

@filthiestfish he has a condition caled bells palsy which is that his face has partial paralysis like what a stroke does so watch it

[filthiestfish]

@bigmike7379 watch what?

[jimmyface71]

@filthiestfish - Sadly, he cannot. The bells palsy makes it impossible for him to make that movement with his mouth. Poor guy.

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Pillman/Liger matches were top notch for back then, they did things i'd never seen before.

[bmsman816]

that promo with Rock and Austin was great

[arlichar11]

the rock is the lamest wrester ever.. no wonder he got booed at the garden...hes the reason i stopped watching wrestling ... no clue to this day why he got over and is always mentioned... its insulting to those real great wrestlers when hes mentioned in same convo...

[Improbable0possible]

@arlichar11 No it's not, it's just one of those things you didn't like. He was great, you just didn't like him. Not liking does not equal bad.

[arlichar11]

@Improbable0possible no.. i mean when i look at his moves, and his character compared to others hes a joke...

not to mention he was popular after it was revealed that wrestling was staged..so that just makes him even more lame.. just because he was entertaining doesnt make him great wrestler... hes just not beliveable gimmick...

! not to mention how stupid u have to be to boo rocky maivia, and then think that the rock is a different person who is great...!

[djg34djg]

@arlichar11 The rock is a a somebody and u are a pee on,a nothing,and a no body.if u smellllllllll what the rock is cooking.

[lucky44124]

thank go ric flair isnt there, he sucks the air out of the room

[subslament]

@lucky44124 Yeah dude... He is really a asshole.. I dident know how he was in real life until I watched the Federation one.

[NotGangster100]

@subslament whos an asshole in real life?

[RatedRKJerichO]

@lucky44124 Dude you are SO right, and I love Ric, but he can be SUCH a load these days.

[Ijustinsultedyou]

@lucky44124 Your mom sucked the air out of him for 60mins on Space Mountain WHOOOOOOO

[el84oro]

@lucky44124 very true

[el84oro]

@lucky44124 and he keeps talking about himself, we get how great he was but flair needs to get over himself

[lucky44124]

thank you for uploading, these are the best! please put more new ones up :)

[gothsoul82]

best segment on classics on demand

[seancarletonzero]

Great to see Pillman get his due, one of the greatest of all time!
