For those who are curious: This is a reupload because the first version on Wednesday got blocked within two hours, and attempts to edit in within YouTube to get it unblocked proved unsuccessful! So, here we go again.

I’m so glad you didn’t delete the “F*** you fly!” beginning from the original upload.

Brian Zane defeated the Superfly in a copyright claim match. 😂

I'm so glad you mentioned WWF Warzone because that was a fun game I rented from Blockbuster (along with Coolboarders 2) as a kid.

The wrestler voice lines, the crowd comments, the crappy green screen echoy promos you could barely hear (especially Faaroqq's). The nostalgia with this game is insane. It was the first wrestling game I played in 1998 before watching my first wrestling show the following year.

“Hair in the Air” Johnny Saint Clare reincarnated himself as the fly

I remember how terrified I was of the Boiler Room Brawl. Foley sold the terror and strangeness of it so damn well. That man gave his body and soul to entertain us.

It can’t be overstated how amazing Brian is at impersonating wrestlers and managers!!

@thejongshow8821 2 years ago

Your intro dialogue about how things changed from 96-98 is exactly what drew me in as a kid. There was no internet so when I saw flashbacks in my vhs tapes of the pre attitude era I thought it was completely different beast that I wanted to watch more of. Ropes were red white and blue, there was more color, blue mats and steel steps, commentary box was just a table with a black cloth, the different log on the turnbuckles and everywhere else. You hit the nail on the head

Brian cussing out a fly really got this thing taken down? WOW YouTube!

Vince explains in detail the storyline of Sunny and Farooq to Ron. Once finished. Vince pats Ron and says “it’ll be great!” Leaves the room. After a moment, realizing the situation. Ron breaks the silence with…..”DAMN”

Man, Brian didn’t mention the funniest part of the whole night when Paul is going back up the ramp with Mankind and he just looks at the camera and scream, “I’m Paul Bearer, AND YOU’RE NOT!”.

Also, fun fact: Stone Cold Steve Austin is the only King Of The Ring winner during its original PPV run (1993-2002) to NOT compete on the main card of SummerSlam the year he won the tournament.

@AnnieBananie316 2 years ago

Sid was face then, and faced HBK at Survivor Series as a face a few months later. WWE rewrites that he was a heel, but didn’t become so until hitting HBK’s manager with a camera

This one takes me back. It's some of my earliest wrestling memories.

Oh boy! Mrs.Foley's baby boy is at it again!

And to think that an early version of Stone Cold Steve Austin only appeared on the Free-For-All pre-show in a short match defeating Yokozuna, a few months after the Austin 3:16 promo. It wouldn't be until he started calling out Bret Hart that his career really started gaining steam.
