The biggest mystery was the booking of Bret Hart.

New Pro Wrestling Rule: Whenever you notice something like that, Dusty Rhodes did it.

Dusty saved the money from the ransom, to be the benefactor for DDP. Dusty also joined the nWo to get inside knowledge of the group, so he could run them down in his white hummer. Dusty, as an old school booker, told Hulk to lay down for Sting (if he didn't he would run him down), than Dusty dug up Ric Flair from the desert. Dusty also laid down to let Giant fall onto his belly, and Giant bounced back up like a trampoline. I forgot the other ones, but rest assured, Dusty, and maybe Dustin, was involved.

He does know that the Sting match was in 1999, right? Hogan fought The Warrior at Halloween Havoc 98...

Just ask X-Pac, he seems to know exactly what happens when shit goes down in wrestling

DDP confirmed it on Twitter. Benefactor was Kimberly. You're welcome.

Number 4: Yes... It was Kimberly, his wife and former Diamond Doll... Explained on air when they reunited.

Yetiiiiiii!!! Never understood the name if he's dressed like a mummy.

WCW took a lot more chances than WWF (WWE) and I think in the long run made WWF into a better product... for a while. WCW swung for the fences and they either hit a homerun or whiffed badly. I think competition is great for wrestling because it forces both to go above and beyond to attract the fans.

Number 1: What the hell were they thinking, when hiring Russo/when letting Hulk be the booker/when doing everything since 1998?

Dammit the wary you tied up every mystery at the end by saying it was dusty Rhodes... You get a perfect 10 from this subscriber

Man, I miss WCW.

Do one of these for TNA.

I remember watching that Nitro with Flair getting kidnapped and beaten in the middle of the desert as a kid and thinking "boy, that whole fake wrestling thingy is pretty disturbing".

In TNA, masked men kidnapped Samoa Joe. Months later, Samoa Joe shows up to Impact out of nowhere. No explanation.

7:45 the benefactor was revealed in The "Positively Page" Biography as Kimberly,but it never made tv

I'm pretty sure it was Billy Kidman that was driving the white hummer. It was during the "New Bloods" vs "the Millionaire Boys Club" angle.

I remembered just how much I miss the old WC Wrestling crew when he mentioned the Yetay.

THE YETAYYYYY

Jericho was goated in WCW the conspiracy victim gimmick was golden 🔥🤘🏾

love these videos

#7 - I thought the stipulation was only supposed to apply to one title match. #1 - this is an ongoing thing on the Busted Open radio show. Apparently, only Baby Doll, Tommy Dreamer, and I think Dustin Rhodes know what that photo really is (you can only see the back of it). However, they didn't exactly drop the storyline cold; Dusty mentioned a week or two later that he had won "the services of Baby Doll for thirty days (oops, I forgot, this was Dusty talkin') for Thuddy Daze" (and he did, back in mid-1985 - the WCW episodes on the WWE Network don't go back that far, but the Mid-Atlantic ones do; look for Baby Doll riding a horse named Floyd).

I'll always watch a video about WCW!

I remember seeing a segment on WCW showing DDP come out and say he won a fortune at a casino but then WCW did a follow up showing DDP playing Bingo and Kim winning? Then there was another bit of footage of DDP saying he keeps winning big? Maybe DDP went broke more then once?

Thank goodness that wrestling stories don't get abandoned anymore...

The photos were Cody in a Stardust outfit.

good work I love it

Grew up in Bethlehem, PA. Thanks for the map segment!

The dungeon of doom. There was no real explanation of what happened to them. They just kinda disappeared without notice.

10. Agreed. 9. "protest" the powers that be taking over. 8. Piper's team segment bombed on Nitro which led to next week on Nitro Flair offering the Horsemen to make sure they win the power play. 7. No comment. 6. Giant was supposedly "supernatural" (yeah, I know). 5. Russo and thought Hacksaw could make it a underdog thing. 4. Kimberly felt sorry for him and had won the lottery. Was supposed to be DiBiase (rumor). 3. It was Sting in the failed "heel" run. 2. No comment, but the godfather of Matt Hardy's universe stuff. 1. It was booked to sell the next big house show. Supposedly as Zybysko says in a World Wide or NWA Pro show and I quote when pressed "Rhodes was in jail!" in a compromising position. Dusty beat him for to keep the U.S. Title and destroyed the negatives. The end. Next time double check with me before these countdowns on NWA/WCW. More than happy to help.

Are we forgetting about "The Lockbox"

The white hummer story was answered. Billy Kidman was the driver. He admits it on an episode of Nitro. Years later it was revealed that the blackmail story was going to be that Baby Doll has proof that Dusty was cheating on his wife.

What about the person in the scream mask,,, I'm still wondering who that was...

02:00 Hogan vs Sting happened at Halloween Havoc 1999

Dusty Rhodes left for WWF a few days later. That’s fucking why

I believe the Dusty Rhodes blackmail storyline was supposed to reveal photographic evidence of Dusty having an affair even though he was a married man. But the storyline was dropped for "reasons" and nobody had any clue on what to put in the envelope in place of the affair photos

Number 9 took place in 1999 not 1998 lol 98 was DDP vs. Goldberg for the World Title lol

You ask us reason for no-9 it was booked by Vince Russo. That was his first booking

8:45 This time however the driver was revealed and it turns out....it was Rikishi🤣

Brian Knobbs left when Sags was released/injured in January 1997, he didn't return until April 1999 when they started the hardcore division and they needed more guys.

I remember hearing about the buried in the desert angle over a decade and a half later and dying with laughter. It was the Keepin It 2000 Podcast.

that end of the old thing where they could still have challenges and stuff that was mentioned up until 98 they didn't actually use it to in an angle but it was still mentioned by Tony chobani to explain stuff up until 98

What about the missing conclusion to Blood Runs Cold? I always wanted to know why Mortis and Wrath hated Sub-Zero... I mean Glacier.

9:26 If you think about it it sounds like he's saying the filthy animals are called the perpetrators or the perpetrators are called the filthy animals.

Number 1: Who thought the Fingerpoke of Doom was a good way to end a match?

One mystery that I just relived was who attacked Big Bubba and Mike Wallstreet when they were in the nWo. They both got mysteriously attacked and it was the first sign of someone standing up to the nWo. I always assumed that Sting did it, but it was never revealed to my knowledge.

Need halloween havoc back!!

Nasty boyz = real life rock steady n bee bop

1:58 Please check your info. Halloween Havok '98, Hogan took on Warrior. How could you have gotten that wrong?

What's funny about Bischoff driving the hummer is that he was sitting ringside on commentary when the hummer crashed into the limo Nash was in. So there was no way it was him driving. It was suppose to be Sable driving. She was going to join up with Macho and his girls. She was even in the audience earlier in the same show the crash took place.

im pretty high rn...and the way he said YETAY had me dyin 😂😂😂

I think Piper was supposed to go in with the original three, but after the tryout segment bombed WCW decided to replace them with Benoit, Mongo and Jarrett.

The biggest mystery is: where did hogans mustache go?????

I believe that the Dusty Rhodes photos were mugshots, based upon something Larry Z. said in that angle.

When I saw a video about WCW, I was expecting Simon Miller. I'm dis not to hear "DubyaCeeDubya"

According to ddp in his autobiography he hinted that his benifactor was actually kimberly all along.

Wha about the Chucky doll and rick Steiner? I need closure

I remember watching the Piper tryouts when it happened. I was young so I was all for it lol

Scary to think that Vince Russo had nothing to do with most of these, but will still get blamed by fans who don't know any better.

XPac could probably explain most of these. Even from when he wasn’t employed there at the time. Yeah man, XPac was there, yeah. Also, I’ve got to say... Andy you seem like a good guy, but slap your writer for making you say “because....reasons?!”, that little phrase ceased being amusing in the least a few years ago. Sorry, pet peeve.

Does anyone think The Giant looks like Big Show?

02:00 that was not Halloween havoc 1998. In 1998, hogan fought the ultimate warrior in that debacle of a match and the main event was Goldberg versus DDP. And a dang good one. I was one of the few households that didn’t have my feed cut during the match.

Yes a WCW video. Back when wrestling was good. But all people can talk about seems to be the failure and embarrassment. Was Wwf doing so much better at the time? Remember Hawk's swan dive off the Titantron unceremoniously during a match? That probably wasn't the only thing they did during the time.

ICP on the opening

I am not watching a 50 min ad about “if you want to lose weight, throw this food away NOW!”

omg i want that pic of scott hall and kevin nash @ 1:25 ♥ please and thank you!

Imagine if you were a fly on the wall of a WCW creative meeting in 1995. "We're going to kill the Giant, have him come back to win the title in his debut and then we are going to have him and a debuting Yetaaaaay give Hogan double bearhug!"

I'm just glad he changed his outro

#3 Kevin Nash threw the TV Title in the trash... NOT Scott Hall

I remember team Piper. They were the underdogs I was rooting for

I remember what the long term plan for burying Flair in the desert was, or what Russo's line of thinking was. He was to be gone for 6 months and given a spectacular return... of course, that totally wasn't what happened. Seeing Flair interact with the Filthy Animals v.2 was a trip because I never forgot how they left him for dead in the desert that one October.

Giant fell into a dumpster full of feathers.

I just don't understand what other people don't understand about the monster truck sumo battle where The Giant fell off the roof and showed up for his match an hour later. He's the freaking Giant for crying out loud!!! A simple tumble from a roof less than 5 -6 stories high would barely leave a scratch on a physical anomaly such as Paul Wight.

Sting was stripped of the title for attacking the referee after his open challenge match with Goldberg. Sting never said it was a title match, but the ref awarded Goldberg the belt anyway which pissed Sting off.

Dude. Stuff just happens. Ask Simon Miller :D

Please, make a video about WWE unsolved mysteries. I bet there is a number of them still waiting to be talked about.

The Hogan v Sting debacle happened at Halloween Havok 99, not 98

#9 Was Hogan’s last match. Til the Bash at the Beach 2000 match. He was plagued with injuries and supposedly having issues with Russo. Who had just barely came over. There was no follow up, for a reason. #6 Paul Wight explained on air, and years later. He fell on to a “banister” #4 It was Kimberly. After Mero had left for the wwf. It was suppose to be someone else. But, they revealed it to be her.

Was the shot of Elizabeth macing Meng at a house show?

The infamous match between Hulk Hogan and Sting happened at Halloween Havoc 1999 not 1998 because that's when the infamous match between Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior happened.

They revealed the benefactor for DDP. IT was Kimberly. She won bingo and Ddp took the credit.

Well AJ Styles is currently buried in a cemetery somewhere.

The only reason I now about Macho Man v Prince Iaukea's title match is because of Wrestling Bios reliving the war series

"YETAAAAAYY!"😂

I never heard the names of wcw pay per views until today they were pretty cool

Whatever happened to the Phantom Champion? He had a dynamite career in WCW in 2000.

DDP's benefactor was revealed to be Kimberly, it was acknowledged when she came back during the Macho Man feud.

Dude, that's a fucking mummy. It's not a yeti... lmaoooo

is it me making up memories, but I have a clear memory of the camera shooting over the ledge after the Giant fell and him waving back at it.

I remember just before Jericho jumped ship he had an angle where the giant came out to help him for no reason and it was never explained.

Macho man had Sid vicious as the driver of the white hummer I remember that one

The nitro after havoc 99 was so confusing...

I remember thinking what happen in the wcw storyline only for them to not even finsh the storylines baffled me has a kid

Imagine if we get that steel cage for one more match

Why didn't piper win the wcw belt at starcade 96?

I facepalmed 5x, and rolled my eyes 3x. Brutal smh

Am I the only one who remembers the bee beating Rick styner?

It amazes me how much the Nasty Boys accomplished in the late 80s early 90s wherever they went. There were so many great tag teams then N I never thought they were one of them. Yet they were usually in the title picture. Guess it pays to be friends with Hogan.

The hogan/sting angle happened at Halloween Havoc 1999

The Dusty angle sounds a lot like Shane having something on Vince and that never got revealed
