I love this series can’t wait for us to go backwards from 1997-1989 anything from 1983-1988 only has Starrcade as PPV

Honestly, I think that “tag team partners have a match and the winner keeps the titles and gets to pick a new partner because they’re having a falling out“ is a pretty good idea that could’ve worked somewhere besides WCW.

Y’all were already my favorite channel, but Pacitti nailing the frank Stallone bit is truly next level.

19:19 a funny gag merch idea would be selling that bag of beans, and when you open that bag, each bean will have the name "gullible" on it.

RIP WCW We miss you Gone but never forgotten

Hot take: Nash beating Goldberg is only seen as a bad move because the Fingerpoke happened 8 days later. It was the right move because they were booking Goldberg horribly during his title reign.

Hot take, but Booker I think should have won the WCW title in 98, to see if it would give the company a much needed shot in the arm. He was putting on banger matches and made the TV title feel more important then the WCW Title

We want every ppv of 2023 ranked from worst to best please

UnFun Fact: Karl Malone is/was the biggest real life heel in the main event.

A lot of people like to dunk on him and it is deserved now based on his bad takes on Busted Open, but if you go back and watch Nitro's and PPV's from that time you'll see Disco Inferno was actually very over with the crowd and always got strong reactions for his matches. He was a solid midcard hand throughout the late 90's til the end for WCW.

And the content just keeps flowing, thanks lads 👍

Don't know how true this is, but I heard Vince only didn't show up at Slamboree because it was the same day as Stephanie's graduation from college.

@cultaholic Can you guys do this for every year wcw was around. I’d be your biggest fan 🤣

someones been watching reliving the war

WCW is explained perfectly at this pay-per-view. There was two rings yet they were wrestling in the ring with the trap door

Goldberg’s title reign was a result of WCW not knowing what to do with him and WWE catching up and eventually passing them in the ratings. They only had him beat Hogan to pop a rating. It’s no coincidence that every PPV after that is ranked on the bottom half of this list

Wow a “You guessed it, Frank Stallone” thrown in? Damned great writing, that

I swear, it's seriously like nobody involved with the company cared ANYTHING about giving fans a good show!!! Wait a second....breaking news....THEY DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!

My question is, they had 2 rings, one with a trap door, and they didnt make sure everyone else wrestled in the OTHER one?

please do a TNA version of these lists

DDP has to be WCWs MVP of 1998

Am I crazy or does this guy work a whatculuture too

It's a shame nobody at Cultaholic has been watching Reliving the War and they still spout off WWE's revisionist history when it comes to Goldberg. Outside of the DDP match, his run with the belt was booked horribly and he started to essentially be a part time wrestler, while Nash was arguably as over as Goldberg at the same time. The pop when Kevin Nash beats Goldberg should be the nail in the coffin on the argument that it was a bad call

I remember a lot of these pay per views....I watched a lot of them...I was always a wcw fan...for a long long time I couldn't watch WWE...I only was able to watch nwa and later wcw...so I was a stinger...not a hulkamaniac...I used to get so angry cause when Hogan first came to wcw...sting had to take a back seat to the hulkster and I didn't like it...slamboree was an interesting ppv...it shoulda been a lot better than it was...a lot like Halloween havoc...ddp v raven...Benoit v Finlay...Bret Hart v macho man was good but shoulda been so much better...it was over way too fast...and the main event was entertaining at the time...now days it seems stupid and it was...back then it wasn't so stupid to me...Nash was bringing hall back...to defend the tag titles against sting and the giant...giant then joins nwo Hollywood...so we had a wcw guy and a nwo Hollywood guy challenging the wolfpacks hall and Nash...then hall turned on Nash...and yeah it was a whole big deal back then...uncensored 98 shoulda been much better than it was... Hogan v savage....hall v sting...Nash v giant...lex luger v Scott Steiner...Bret hart v curt hennig...and the best match on that card...the triple threat no dq match for us title ddp v raven v Benoit was to this day one of the best matches I have ever watched in my life...but wcw had a lot of great ppv cards that just didn't do what they shoulda did....

This was the last good year for WCW.

Great video!!!!

I’m not getting the Raven/Frank Stallone joke

I was at this WW3…. It was fun when I was 9😂 but looking back now It’s so bad

How much for those beans?

Unfun fact , following somone else, war games was 5 v 5 so it was changed before the 3v3v3 also they were far more than 1 a year when it was introduced

Figures that the best PPVs were at the beginning of the year

98 should have been the year the Hogans Flairs Savages and so on started bringing up the Pages Bookers Jerichos Benoits to the main events. Also Raven as a world champ would have done great businness. I sometime wonder where WCW would be if the top of the card were better team players.

Bash at beach was an awesome ppv

The fact that WW3 had two advertised high profile PPV matches not happen is ridiculous.

At Least Every WWF PPV In 1998 Was Wayyy Better Except For Rockbottom And Judgment Day 1998.

I'd have Slamboree higher on my list. Quite a few good matches and Dean Malenko has never been over like that again. It was fever pitch.

Lol, "Never change WCW change." I don't believe you have anything to worry about then.

10:27 Generous to think that Disco Inferno ever had 2 fans…

Rank 2023 ppvs worst from best

A vast majority of the matches on all these PPVs really belonged on Nitro not on a PPV. WCW really did have awful booking all-around.

Cultaholic, Luchas de Apuestas (mask/hair wager matches) are a huge part of Lucha Libre tradition. Countless wrestlers have lost their masks or had their heads shaven as a result of them. Claiming that Eric Bischoff was somehow disrespecting tradition by putting on matches with gimmicks steeped in tradition makes no sense whatsoever. Eric himself has even had his head shaved on multiple occasions! If you really want an example of a promoter disrespecting Lucha traditions, see Vince McMahon forcing Rey Mysterio to start wearing masks again after he had lost it. In Lucha tradition, once you lose your mask you can never put it back on. Vince didn't care about that though, he just wanted to cash in on merch sales. "“Prior to coming to WWE, I was in OVW training, which was a week prior to my debut and the office wanted to see the gear I wanted to use. When I showed it to them, I had no mask. They were like, ‘Where is the mask?’ ‘Well, I lost the mask.’ In Lucha Libre, if you lose the mask, you never put it back on. They were like, ‘No, Vince wants you to come back with the mask.’" - Óscar Gutiérrez Rubio (Rey)

1998 was the year i gave up on WCW and stopped flipping back and forth from Raw to Nitro

1998 in WCW was the last good year in wrestling.

I’m sleepy an read this as Every WCPW PPV Ranked. That’s not this. Maybe you can Forbidden Door some sh* with them for one in the future.

I'm surprised they actually got the rights to name a ppv World War 3 especially since there was two actual wars fought under the name World War which most of these men's fathers or grandfathers had fought in

Didn't get the raven joke🤦🏿‍♂️🤣

WCW is the cool federation

Did Rick and Scott ever have that blow off match?

Youve actually never did a royal rumble ppv ranked?

Easy Pacitti, Buffer is very lawsuit happy....

Come back wcw

lol Kevin Greene and Dennis Rodman are better wrestlers than Kevin Nash.

I don’t get it, this portrays 98 as being an awful year for WCW when it was its greatest year for viewership. Every episode of Nitro was like a ppv 😝 I can’t be the only one who thought this.

Watching this list makes me sad to be reminded of the completely forgettable and underwhelming WCW run of Bret Hart

I always say and I'm not wrong that late WCW was the worst thing ever and WCW in the 2000s didn't help either

My ex husband was at the wcw invasion of Raw.

22:46 It's demolition dErby, not demolition darby. Leave the wish version of Mankind out of this. Nobody gives a fuck about the jobbers working for Dixie Khan in jobberville anyway.

Vince = clown. Credit WCW till the end for keeping poise.

Why does everyone hate Disco Inferno

Cultaholic, please do some research and learn a bit about the industry before pumping out yet another WCW bashing effort like this. Stick to marking out over whatever garbage WWE is serving up these days and leave the peak of the industry alone. Wrestling has never been as good as it was in WCW from 96-99. Even the worst WCW PPV in 98 is better than anything WWE has ever produced.

Looks like it time to 💩 on the past again! Because jealousy! (As people actually watched wrestling back then, during a ACTUAL boom period; not this fictional one where nobody's watching).

Every time you guys make a WCW video, you prove none of you actually watched WCW and just go by whatever popular internet opinion is.
