Rarely am I THIS early. Nice of you to drop one on Sunday, Vee... when I can actually sit and watch! Great topic, too. Edit: Cyndi Lauper's dad... nice! Edit 2: Those of a mind to do it should check out the Tully Blanchard promo from this show... it's the lone, burning candle in the middle of the endless dark that was "Heroes of Wrestling".
1:35 "The former Yokozuna" actually works---Yokozuna is a title that means "grand champion" in Japanese. So it's basically saying, "The Former Champion."
Judging by the state of most of these wrestlers in the first show I thought it took place in 2009. Surprisingly it took place in 1999! Greg Valentine had many years of performing ahead of him. The "former Yokozuna" had not many months left. He passed nearly exactly a year later.
One thing that puzzled me about Heroes was saying each of these matches were between long time rivals and they weren't. There was some history between Snuka & Orton. You mentioned the Blanchard/Lane wass a "just now" grudge. Nope. Blanchard & Arn Anderson's departure from WCW was dropping the tag belts to the Midnight Express and they never had a rematch so that was a carry over.
I did watch this "Dumpster Fire" which actually elevates this "thing" (can't really call it a "show"). You have to see it to believe it. Yes, its that bad. It's so dark outside the ring for a reason, its to hide the only about 20 people in the whole arena.
Fun fact: my mom was Jake Roberts' dad, Grizzly Smith's, barber in the latter years of his life. He used to live like 15 min from me before he went to live either with one of his other sons or a nursing home near his other son's house in Texas.
Me, decades from now: "I wonder if Vee still has Batman material in his vault?" Vee, the next day: "Today we're going to be looking at the infamous Bat-porn, 'The Gaped Crusader', from Uzbekistan's black market".
I've watched Heroes of Wrestling 3 times in my life, and i just found out about it in 2022..lol I ate about 300mg of edibles the last time and it was still horrible so i gave up.
Vee im sorry your views are not what they should be. You the best above the rest but your not putting in the work to reach you potential. The old school wrestling marks like me love you. However It's a lot its people that dont know how great you are. I to start catering to marks like me. HMU please if you wanna grow your audience shit I'll do your pr and social media shit. Worked 16 hours today 13 of those hours i spent listening to your videos. Plus so far personally I got you 9 subs just off people ik in real life. If need be I'll flood your views myself. Real spit u fucks with you heavy cause you got me back into wrestling. Even tho Ion fuck with new wrestling your opinion on the attitude era and the ruthless aggression era made me a veetard. I was patiently waiting for you talk on heros of wrestling then when did it and i was excites. Your amazing it sucks you don't get the recognition you deserve your like Maven, Sheldon Benjamin, or pre TNA Perc Angle. Forget the tv series and movies shit. Just focus on wrestling and comic books cause it's a lot of bad and good stuff you can talk about. Cause of you I've won arguments on both topic. Vee your the 🐐 act like it. 😂
22:55 iGeneration Wrestling was so lazy and unprofessional they couldn't even bother spelling Curt Hennig's last name correctly on the bottom of the DVD box cover. 😂
You can say the booking is bad but i bet everyone had a great time while having fun with their pals. And at the end of the day,thats what truly matters for any wrestling show. Oh, and ticket sales, ppv buys and turnstile counts and comps. But yeah, they had fun.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you understood I wasn’t being malicious. If you do end up watching that review though, I’d recommend the original version on the internet archive.
Im shocked that nobody realizes Jake ran to the back to take another hit of drugs or a big swig of booze.... Or both. Everybody acts confused as to what he was doing. If you know you know
He either threw up OR took a massive bump to get some "get up and go", but since Coke lasts...oh about 10 minutes, Jake was soon doing his best impression of Dr. Bosconovitch from Tekken 3.
This show was so bad that Yokozuna didn't even care to spit his gum out. Either that OR Sheiky Baby brought some fantastic coke and Yoko needed the gum at that point lol.
Meh. I’d rather watch these than a nepo baby mysterio/modern day wwe raw/smackdown show. At least these guys WERE stars. Plus no insufferable DEI women’s matches to have to sit through
You seem to be struggling right now, and I'm not giving you a pity view(though I haven't liked wrestling since realizing girls have the best parts) buuuuuut I'm a nostalgia junkie at this point. And I'm watching. Dude. Stop the self depreciation and just do vids on what you know and love; what you do is probably something we'll watch, regardless of subject, but for your personality. Don't get arrogant, which I'm not worried about, just do vids you feel passionate about. Fuck. Why is that so hard? And I'm not a creater... I can't tell you how many times I've gotten in to conversations with people who don't like my likess as much as theirs and at the end of those conversations with them wanting to get into their likes more. Case in point? I like pocket knives. A buddy loves tequilas. He didn't understand my affinity for a pocket tool you can use by the minute, yet, when I gave a dissertation on my love? He went "i need to look into my passion harder" which I didn't believe(he dwarfed me in knowledge)I though, at the time? 19:0620:04 Listening to someone talk about something they're passionate about makes what you're passionate about seem like it's something you need to look into more, and maybe broaden your horizons. Don't get me wrong- You Are Not A Main Character None of us are, aside from the microcosmic. Creaters on any platform are background fodder. Period. My life has gotten a boon from walking away from thinking I'm a macro important person. I'm not. You're not. Anything else is wanting npc's to be your income. Well, unless you're preying on children. Which, every time, fuck you, yet... I'm not sure where you lie. You may be covering things you think the youth will like, but, if you're struggling, it could be you're getting older and the youths don't feel akin to it, which case? Do what you love and leave kids the fuck alone. You're entertaining the most when you're talking about shit you care about. I've been writing this almost the entire run time this vid has been running, so I've missed it. I'm out. Going to rewatch it.

I gotta do a double at work so it's time to go down the vee rabbit hole

Ha ha ha you said HOLE.!!
1:35

Other wrestling channels only cover Heroes of Wrestling in a single video. Not Vee. He blesses us with several bad wrestling shows.
I miss lucha underground 😢
You got 21
I got 22
You got blackjack
I got 2 of those
you wanna play aces and eights, my god I have too many of those'' ( and the interviewer trying to keep serious but is laughing all the way through)
@@ScarysReviews we're live pal
I gotta admit I would have loved to have seen this live 🐍

Greg Valentine had many years of performing ahead of him.

Meanwhile the show's production looks like it's from 1979.
Kim Justice's Wrestling Road did a really good in-depth video on Heroes of Wrestling I recommend
RIP

I've been in a bit of a kick of looking at Heroes of Wrestling lately, so this got my attention as soon as possible.

did he see him taking his wife out to play?
@@jimstang2328 Negative. Thank God lmao. This was all years before the world knew about his PDF file ways
Vee doing wrestling 👍
Me, decades from now: "I wonder if Vee still has Batman material in his vault?"
Vee, the next day: "Today we're going to be looking at the infamous Bat-porn, 'The Gaped Crusader', from Uzbekistan's black market".
Love all ur uploads
Dude, the ending for your videos NEVER gets old!! I haven't seen a better outro ever!
HAAA.. I wonder how many people caught The Big Lebowski reference
I did
Well, Tonga Kid’s last name is Fatu, so they weren’t wrong.
I've watched Heroes of Wrestling 3 times in my life, and i just found out about it in 2022..lol I ate about 300mg of edibles the last time and it was still horrible so i gave up.
Haha i was at the Heroes show at the Casino Magic in Bay St Louis. First wrestling show i ever went to.
This would make a great Dark Side of the Ring episode

Dumpster fire is doing a dumpster a huge dis service. More like a dump inferno is much better fitting 😅
can you please do something on the WWL? the promotion where Chris Kanyon came out to DDP during a promo
I second that! Great call!
Already have! th-cam.com/video/xKuVrFWIjrg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7a1QrcofuAyA1K8v
@@VI_V2 i didn't know! thank u for turning me on to this
Vee this is my second favorite review of this dumpster fire. Zane and W3 review is just a bit better.
I can’t believe 29,000 ordered this show on ppv
That was the Shane Twins right? I have no idea how I recognized the Gymini with hair
Have you covered the Batman analog horror yet?👀
"Youre outta your depth Donnie"
Okay I have the perfect name for the show where the hazbins go to end their career
22:55 iGeneration Wrestling was so lazy and unprofessional they couldn't even bother spelling Curt Hennig's last name correctly on the bottom of the DVD box cover. 😂

So you're telling me that a place called casino magic wasn't infact magical
Well ....... Caesars Palace isn't real either. Caesar didn't live there
You know, you can't just Ted DiBiase all of our dreams Vee
In 1999, Nikolai Volkoff (at 52 years old) moves like present-day Baron von LECTOR.
I own this DVD AND ZMan Brian Zane autographed the cover for me
What's with the shaking logos in borders?? AM I having a stroke?
Bro needs a new VCR, bad tracking
you can' just ted disabisty all of our dreams
Report been done already by a guy called nachomane
Are you sure you watched the actual PPV and not just Kim Justice's review of it? A lot of the points sound eerily familiar.
It's the same show.
Yeah. I'm sure I watched the show and made a video on it. But I appreciate the insinuation. Thanks! :)
You’re welcome! I’m glad you understood I wasn’t being malicious. If you do end up watching that review though, I’d recommend the original version on the internet archive.
You cant just ted debiase over all of our dreams dude
It took me 14 weeks to give Yokozuna a bottom massage...
It is really hard to see Jake like this. He also looked scary pale...
It's not like Yokozuna had one of the most famous family names in wrestling. Maybe call him that.
Im shocked that nobody realizes Jake ran to the back to take another hit of drugs or a big swig of booze.... Or both. Everybody acts confused as to what he was doing. If you know you know
He either threw up OR took a massive bump to get some "get up and go", but since Coke lasts...oh about 10 minutes, Jake was soon doing his best impression of Dr. Bosconovitch from Tekken 3.
Nope. He hit the promoter up for more money or he wouldn’t go back out. All the other workers were pissed.
@@Mycosyco1 I wouldn't have given Jake my half eaten Mc double to go back out there in the shape he was in
This show was so bad that Yokozuna didn't even care to spit his gum out. Either that OR Sheiky Baby brought some fantastic coke and Yoko needed the gum at that point lol.
Down under seems more tolerable. Atleast i know tatanka had a wwe comeback.
I want audio of just the audience
Great video but can you stop with the shaky cam on the left and right sides of the screen? It's headache-inducing. Geez.
Can you do video on krypton show ?
Peak wrestling😊
