Nothing is more modern than a thousand year old gladiator gimmick

If Ric Flair and Jim Cornette tell you that you know nothing about wrestling.......then you know nothing about wrestling!

Foley didn't quit WCW over the Lost in Cleveland stuff. He still worked WCW until May-June of 94.

Welp, losing Mick Foley was a mistake for WCW, wasn't it? :P

I simply love the stroll down memory lane! Keep these videos coming.

"I LOVE YOU, SPARTACUS..." I miss The Critic lol

I was watching the Foley DVD last night and both he and Vader said WCW had no plans of reigniting the feud once Foley came back from his ear recovery. Another (main) reason he quit.

Brian pilman was an absolute legend for what he did he literally tricked them in to letting him join wwe 😂😂

marc mero was deeply religious? i don't think his wife had the same faith

So Steiner confronted her over not flashing him? Sounds a little Weinsteiny.

I honestly think Kane was the biggest Nail in the coffin for WcW . His debut was beyond Impactful. I know i tuned in to WWF instead of WcW because of it

You know a company is terrible when they make you world champ and you quit anyway.

If you don’t know how to pronounce Dan Spivey I’d spend a bit more time in Whatculture developmental. He’s hardly an unknown

WCW was a company with great talents but bad management

Foley obviously went on to prove that he was one of the all time greats and WCW weren’t making the most of him but it’s not like he was wasted or mistreated at WCW. He was a main eventer feuding with the promotions top stars and at that point in his career that is pretty impressive. Its not as if the WWF immediately pushed him to the moon, he had to work really hard and get himself over in multiple gimmicks to get to the top. If anything he had to work harder to get to the top in WWF than he did to get to the top of WCW. Yes they put him in goofy promos but all of wrestling was fucking goofy at the time, He was in the fucking Chamber of Horrors match for gods sake. At least he wasnt in the Dungeon of Doom and if he went straight to WWF they probably would of put him in the fucking Godwins.

Who on god’s green earth would want Ric Flair to stop being “Nature Boy?” Jim Herd is a joke. Here’s an idea, “Nat, just go out and be the f’n man.”

Dignity, always stay dignified

Goldberg should've learned how to take a promo and make them, other than “who's next?”

6:22 Bobby talked about that incident an interview, he had recently had neck surgery and was not aware of Pillman was gonna grab his neck and got worried it would aggravate his neck again.

sounds like you're in a hurry bruh.. slowdown a bit next time. but very good content tho' looking forward for another good content like this. cheers! more power!

WCW jumped the shark regularly. I understood at the time that a lot of the talent wasn't cool with really bad angles.

@1:19 Tony Schiavone though...... kinda looks like he’s the starting pitcher for the local community college’s softball team.....

It took until now for me to realize the white intro with the bell and crowd pop is gone. 🤣

*What Culture Wrestling Interview* Interviewer: Hi, what's your name? Interviewee: Adam Interviewer: You're hired!

I don't blame them for leaving WCW.

WCW had the attitude era in their hands but let it slip away.

Spivey is pronounced "Spy vee!"

What is that sound? Is it from the video?

If WCW was better to their young talent, they would've have a sick roster to fall back on

Jonny b(Marc) remind me of lil Richard 🤣🤣

Thank you for reminding me how fucking gorgeous Kimberly Page is!

Foley didn’t mind the Lost in Cleveland skits. He was getting paid to stay off tv, and he didn’t mind that either. He left b/c of the 1 year anniversary of him losing his ear, telling Bischoff about it and how great of an angle it would be, and the announcers didn’t say NOTHING about it. He was fed up with the “politics” and he left. That’s what he has said in his book.

Thanks for the all great comments and stay safe and I love your match

this list was solely created to put Ric Flair left WCW thank to Jim Herd thing! at #1

Chris Jericho in WCW was so fucking good .

That worked shoot with hogan looked real

Apparently WhatCulture stopped doing research.......

4:01 as Marc should. God comes first and your job, after.

Adam Nicholas should do more videos

Coming this Summer Kit Harrington in the role he was born to play Sullivan: Chris we’re putting the title on you Benoit: I don’t want it

Damn! do you only hire people named Adam?!?!

1:46 - Good to know this guys has no idea how to pronounce Dan Spivey's name...

This was back when wrestlers had enough pride to do such a thing. And enough common sense to know what was good or bad for their careers. Now everybody is just happy to be there

Did the guys speaking knew this is youtube and did not need to speak without breathing for 10 minutes? Did he knew youtube videos can go as long as they need to be? Breathe, brother, breathe

5:50 it was actually defamation of "character" to the hulk Hogan character lol

WCW an awesome company that suffered from bad management.

Marc mero should gotten a push

What happened to Simon🤦

I thought Benoits finisher was called the Child Killer Crossface 🤔

The lost in Clevland segments could have had an amazing payoff... But... Nope. Classic WcW.

I'm surprised that Eddie and his pipebomb promo isn't on the list...

Wooo were is the Dustin Seven quiting on tv?

Sick of hearing the Meltzer narrative that guys like Benoit and Jericho were wasted in WCW. They went to WWE and were in the same spot on the card for years. They belonged in the midcard on WCW

hulk hogan very memorable

Kill The Nature Boy gimmick?! Yeeeah, that’s not gonna work for ANYONE in wrestling, brother!

The heat between Chris Benoit and Kevin Sullivan was very real. Benoit's wife Nancy, known in WCW as Woman, was married to Sullivan when Benoit joined the company.

Of course russo wanted Kim to flash he wanted to keep the UN blurred video for himself

Damn that audio is bad

Wcw wasn't going for 13 years. It went for 70 years. Coz wcw started in 1931 as jcp, Jim crokket promotions. Then became known as wcw, world championship wrestling in 1988. From 1988 till 1991 wcw was also known as nwa, national wrestling alliance

No intro... ;-; (at least i won't hear a discord ping)

I met DDP at a con. He os way taller in person

Dan Spivvy !?!?

Dan SPY-VEE.

10 Wrestlers Who Quit aew Over Angles

Interesting to see not even having a world title around his waist was enough to get Chris Benoit to stay in WCW. I don’t get why he didn’t go to WWE in the first place.

I like kimberly page

Kimberly Page is the brunette in the back on the right... The brunette next to her is... Shawn Micheals wife... Lol

What you said about Hogan quitting was wrong. It was confirmed by Vince Russo that he was told not to book him again because they couldn't afford it. Hogan has said he filed the lawsuit after Vince never call him the next day to allow him to go on Nitro to answer Russo's claims. He thought what Russo did was a dirty trick.

LOL hogan pulled that same move with Nash so if he did quit over that its silly.

What is it with this channel and people called Adam?

Simon sounds weird here

This List also paints a picture of the AUDACITY!!!! that some of these wrestlers has.

Except for the fact that the pumpkin thing and cornet did not happen

"Spivvy"

*Spivey, not Spivvy

Deadeye what?

You know not that much bad shxt would happen if more people looked to their morals before doing crap the company wants them to do. Kudos to Marc Mero.

dan spivvy

play at .50 or .75 speed

AEW reminds me of WCW, with the amount of wrestling legends and former WWE wrestlers that they are signing. They are going the WCW route.

WCW is the very first wrestling show I ever watched.

That sad we don't WCW anymore because more wrestlers from there quit the business when on to another company one main reason that goldberg left wcw to be and wwe.

HOW MANY ADAMS ARE YOU GUYS GONNA HIRE?!?!

how many times can you reference pillman and bobby the brain, jesus christ just let it go it was over 20 years ago, you must bring it up every fucking month

I love wcw

DAN SP-EYE-V 🙄

I mean, I thought the Spartacus thing was stupid but honestly? Seeing Flair in that mockup image... I truly think if he was on board with it he could have pulled it off.

A lot of Russo Era issues

Ric Flair did not leave over Spartacus Ric Flair left because he could not get a contract extension

Dan Spivey. Not Spivvy.

It’s always Vince Russo

The Kimberly story is highly inaccurate. The Steiner Page fight happened in January of 2001. She left in June 00. So when they fought kim was long gone.

Russo never got sued lol

The WWE and Vince McMahon are routinely criticized for “killing” pro wrestling and many of these misgivings are well deserved. But suppose the Monday Night War played out differently and WCW ultimately prevailed? Videos like this prove that old school wrestling was doomed no matter what.

Putting Benoit on any list like this is disturbing and you should stop.

Dubya cee Dubya

Don’t forget triple h

I wouldn't be happy with Kevin Sullivan, either, for killing my family, causing me to commit suicide, and be slandered as a murderer.

😂😂😂😂😂

Legit didn't know about the Russo/DDP/Steiner/Wife thing. First time hearing that story and only reinforces that Russo is literal slime that ruined two promotions.
