I like the interviews of the wrestlers better than the actual show now a day's
Actually.
@@samsonmorrell I got spell check and it didn't correct me .
@@samsonmorrell Do you want me to fix it ?
Facts
@@Bbknuckles I think you're right . LOL .
I'm not really a fan of wrestling but I'm addicted to these shoot interviews. The behind the scene politics is way more interesting than Wrestlemania
Sounds to me like Shawn was the shit stirrer but ultimately its Vinces fault for letting a group of the boys take over his company like that.
Yup Vince McMahon was a classic case of letting the prisoners run the asylum, for one reason or another, Vince was a total mark for them, even though they didn’t draw him the money others in the business did with less pulling power.
@@1Leggo9my9Eggo2
We KNOW why Vince let Shawn do what he wanted.........in more ways than one...........
@@dariusthegreat3097 why? I never had heard why Shawn had such pull. Just that he did and used it.
@@gypsieking3280 Shawn was Vince's boy toy. That's why Shawn knew he could get away with things that others could not.
Shawn was Vince's lover for many years. It explains everything. Bret Hart suspected it.
HANNIBAL you have been ON FIRE!
Shane Douglas is a great interviewee. I could listen to him all damn day.
Too bad he's full of shit , but he's right about the kliq.
@@misfitdanzig8152 you think? I've watched a few of his shoots and his stories never waver....nash and hall on the other hand...
@Chris McCoy yeah you kinda missed the point champ
As a storyteller he’s great but his gravely voice is difficult.
I love what Credible says. A lot of times I thought it would be cool to be friends with certain people, have a title at work, bench a certain amount of weight, be in charge of people. I thought it made me cool, but now I realize it didn't mean anything. Kind of funny how your eyes open up and you're able to think clearly after experiences. As a young person these things trivial things were so important to me.
You’re 100% right. People who think that way have very low self worth.
Welcome to adulthood.
I love watching these shoot interviews especially when it comes to 90's Shawn Michaels, no denying he could wrestle and entertain but the number of other guys he held back with his attitude is shocking. He even confesses this in his own book. A real piece of shit in his day, Jim Cornettes summary seems quite fitting
Stuart Harber+ Shawn micheals exciting in ring worker but to me was arrogrant asshole like him in the rockers day but when he became solo as a heel he was just arrogrant jerk but then listen to these shoot interviews he was more of a smug arrogrant ass than I ever did
@@georgebrice3831 $
To me it's the same kind of deal as chris benoit,even tho it obviously wasn't as extreme: as great a wrestler as he was,the things he did to other wrestlers with the politics and such,i just can't respect him
He only did what he could get away with .
Yea I mean some of it is unforgivable no matter how much of a Christian he is today. Some things can’t be undone or forgiven for no doubt he’s very talented but fuck that dude lmao
Learning all this just makes me appreciate Rock and Stone Cold even more. Those guys were so big that they become untouchable. No amount of politics could stop them.
And apparently in the case of The Rock, the Kliq sure tried.
@@RobQuincyAdams care to explain?
@@u_p3847 hhh & hbk in ‘97 try 2 bury rock by convincing bret 2 beat him 4 ic title…bret refused because he h8ted hbk & hhh’s attitude & looked out 4 the rock back then…
@@u_p3847 Along with the response given, Hbk also stiffed the super kicked he gave Rock on a smackdown against Triple H then told Rock, If he can't handle that then he shouldn't be in the business. Plus hbk was also petitioning to have mankind in wrestlemania 15's main event and not Rock against Austin. Meanwhile he wasn't even an active wrestler at the time.
@@RaytheGrayt awh :( I'm just happy hbk finally changed as a person and knows what he did was wrong back then
I remember when Shane was in ECW, said that Vince turned the sport into a f**king cartoon, and in many ways it was true.
Shane Douglas is a truther like Scott Steiner. Which is why they are outcasts.
The franchise was right. Fuck Wwe. AEW has brought my love of pro wrestling back along with NJPW and Impact ROH etc... I feel like the behind the scenes stuff like interviews stories n what have you is way more interesting and in many ways it is better.
The Kliq knew not to try Taker.
3:48 Shawn Michaels mocking a guy with a bad eye......oh, the irony.
Hall and Nash have said themselves in shoots that Justin Credible was part of the Kliq.
Damien Demento fantastic news
he had to wheel Hall off the plane from hell ride passed out in a wheelchair off the plane 😂🤣
Great segment Devon. Very interesting and kept my attention. Shane does a great job, he speaks well as a ring veteran. As always, your at your best at running an interview, keeping it interesting. Still have always hoped to get you back in that squared circle Big Guy.
Mr. Hannibal, thank you very much for this.
This stuff is incredible as always Hannibal. Thanks for uploading.
They Didn't Mess With Undertaker & Stone Cold
sure didn't lmbo
"There were these guys at a bar that wanted to fight Shawn, so I grabbed the biggest guy by the ears and kissed him on the lips..."
Didn't see that coming.
Man I really like Shane Douglas. He has a really good mind for the business.
Yeah he seems like a straight shooter. Normal stand up dude who was confused af by all the drama and scheming in the locker room
Another great night at work thanks for making time go by
Shane Douglas is gold on here, dude can tell a great story.
I never really thought about how it affects a hometown wrestler when he had to lose???? That's why I love these Hannibal shoot interviews 👍👍
"Scott, Kevin and Shawn found some value in Hunter...."
Yeah, its call "a designated driver"...
Hilarious
It worked out pretty well for him.
@Rick Stone yep thats what marrying the boss's daughter will do for ya!
please explain how he didn't earn it.
😩😩😩
Vince has always put over his favorite character himself! Vince would buy a franchise such as ECW or WCW take those wrestlers and make them look like clowns then get rid of them. You can praise Vince all you want he destroyed pro wrestling with his so called entertainment rhetoric.
The invasion angle was bullshit period
I knew from the second that Shane announced that he bought WCW that the angle was going to suck. Once Stephanie was revealed as the owner of ECW, the angle was doomed and I skipped it entirely that summer. The biggest potential money making angle in wrestling history was turned into yet ANOTHER McMahon family feud.
He ruined wrestling is what he did.
Those guys are lucky to still be in one piece after all the peoples livelihoods they screwed around with.
Where I come from, playing those kinda games can get you seriously hurt. or much worse.
100% agree mate but there was and probably still is fuck load of politics in pro wrestling.
Also wasn't like nash and hall were pussies. Michaels xpac and hhh maybe but hall and nash were big dudes . Fuck hall killed a dude outside a bar.
Christopher Suswal best reply of the week award goes to you bud...lol
Christopher Suswal worse; Chicago. Chi-raq is what i believe the youths today are calling it.
Gay
@@christophersuswal9544 😂😂😂
The Kliq changed wrestling. It was never the same after 1996.
Yea it only got better
I couldn't watch after 90/91 it became trashy stupid vulgar and dumb.
i slowly lose more and more respect for the kliq everytime i hear stories like these
same for hogan. tho i never cared for hogan to begin with honestly
You can say what you like about the Kliq....but... that’s pretty much it
yes they were dicks
Great stuf i havent seen before thanks Han
I would’ve loved to see Shawn show up to ECW. The Franchise would’ve legitimately crippled him.
I would want that just to see what the fans would've said.
lol the Franchise fucking sucked ass, Legit most overrated ecw wrestler
I can’t be the only one who thinks Shane Douglas now looks and sounds like Nick Offerman
Nash is tough, but Pierre would have kicked his ass, and Nash knew it
Johnny Guillotine 😂😂😂 touché
Nash would have absolutely destroyed Pierre.
@@jackjohnson5714 shooting hoops, that is
@@maturanita That and fighting. Nash is like 6'9", from Detroit, enforcer on the Tennessee basketball club, etc. No disrespect to Pierre, of course, but it would be quite the beating!
Nash would've beat the shit out of him.
I remember that. The story behind the scenes is incredible!
Makes me wish I was a fly on the wall for all these stories lol
Most wrestling shoots consist of bashing other wrestlers, being bitter, how many guys they claim they beat up, and how tough Meng was
They need to do a Darkside off the ring on the Clique.
Kinda surprised Hall, Nash and Waltman didn't try to get Justin a job in WCW with them, if not Shawn and Hunter trying to get him involved in something.
Bro so much gained respect for justin. Keeps to himself. Well read it sounded like. Good for him.
First story PISSED me off
When were these interviews?
No wonder Shawn was beaten up so much.
oliver closehoff hottest women alive? I really hope you’re not talking about Tammy?
oliver closehoff she’s what you’d call “warehouse hot”. When there’s only a handful of chicks working in the warehouse the cutest one get bumped up 2or 3 slots.
@oliver closehoff And look at the way he looks now... he wears every OUNCE of all the fucked up things he did on his face...
Yes, Shawn has done more jobs outside the ring than in.
@@fuscinula lmao 🤣 😂
Respect for Aldo he told the truth!
The stories of the Kliq get so much worse each time I rewatch for some reason. Actually wanting someone to work and then starve them. I bet they done this shit too so many people.
And what made it worse was things weren’t much better in wcw with their politics mid 90’s were terrible
Very interesting indeed
Shane Douglas had everything it took to be a main event player. He had next level promo skills. Its too bad shit happened the way it did
I thought the same
I really don't get how any wrestler thought doing a job was a career killer. Especially at a non-televised show.
Alpha male ego
Kayfabe used to mean something
Winning or losing doesn’t mean anything in wrestling. How many times has mick foley lost? He’s beloved. Great matches make stars. Not winning
@@guidoluzzi66 winning means a lot...mick foley was a world champion so he did win when it mattered
Highlight is Shane imitating Shawn chewing gum.
Shane Douglas looks like Eddie Izzard
Looks like Eddie Izzard and sounds like Shawn Michaels!
Love Shane Douglas. Class act.
Shane Douglas looks like Bam Margera...or vice versa.
When he talks about Shawn He sounds like a demented Shawn Michaels who speaks in 3rd person.
I see it. He looks how Bam looks now because of the weight gain and what not.
Definitely a resemblance there.
More so a phil resemblance but shit, bam is looking just like him as well these days 😂
Shane, Carl and Nash all tell the story different lmao
First guy SOUNDS like Shawn lmao
18:01 AYYYY YOOOOOO 🤨😧
Kevin Nash & Scott Hall left WWF afew months later for WCW/NWO to get Huge guarantees pay checks. Goes to show how loyal thay really were to Vince McMahon....
Oh boy...
Troy Martin (IYKYK) is the most real MotherFu**er on when it comes to the KLIQ
The Forum still is standing. If I remember correctly, it's been reconfigured as a movie theatre.
I’m surprised Nash ,hall and Shawn Michaels didn’t filled in in the ring for real
There all fucking ripped. They must make them do a big fat line before they interview. Their pupils are huge
34:00 mark. The story i always heard was bulldog was stuck in the back seat
When was Justin Credible part of the kliq? 🤔
That's why I hate people glorifying The Kliq. They were a cancer to the business. It was not about what's best for the promotion, but only what's best for them
Which member of the Kliq did u have to job to??
Only hbk and nash possessd power
I never heard any story related to Scott hall
And hhh and x pac were only carrying bags
Without them there’s no NWO/DX or Monday night wars
Qlik rules
The kliq suck
When was that pco interview. Doesn't look like that anymore
2017
who is the guy who talks right after Ouellette?
Duke “the Dumpster” Droese
Lol I went to valpo uni and when he said 17k sold out I laughed.
HBK 🐐
The old forum is not torn down, it's now a god awful movie theater/shopping center/bar place thingy.
All I know is that the kliq were dominant in the worst years of wrestling. For me as a 12 year old in 1992, Wrestmania VIII was the end of pro wrestling. I could never get into the eras that followed.
👍
Justin Credible looks like he could be X pacs brother...
I know right. I said that years ago.
Gooch pac
Why does he sound so much like HBK lol. Best impression of HBK i've heard
I thought that when I was watching Shane Douglas in another video. Its crazy how much he sounds like Shawn.
Watch the Rob Van Dam interview where he does a great Michaels impression, if you want a good laugh.
Credible looks like he's pilled up in this interview or something bout fall asleep while talking droopy eyes
Those rumors must have been true of shawn and vince. I thought it was just a joke but if Shawn had that much power you have to wonder why.
Doin the BUTT!
Road Warrior Hawk called it a "Cock and Ball" contract lol
I heard Vince used to rape all the young wrestlers when they were coming up
@@mad4669 I doubt it, i heard that Vince somewhat lived vicariously through Shawn. Thats why he let him do what he wanted, but at the same time Shawn dileviered and stayed loyal. He wasnt a big draw but carried the WWF until Austin took the ball an ran with it. Its not that hard to figure out.
Vince and all his crownies touch young ring boys!!!!!!
The part where Dean Douglas says that no one mentioned that his foot was on the rope is false. Here is the match: th-cam.com/video/Dx6NVwXU5N8/w-d-xo.html
They did mention it quite a bit.
You can tell by these shoot interviews who bent over for Vince and who didn't. 🎯
(literally bent over) 😉 🎯
I think shawn took one for the team haha
@@dustinpitts106 he had a proper John Wayne walk.🎯
@@stuartmckenzie7543 bahaha! It all makes sense now!
When did he get old
Credible lookin stoned as hell lol
The Dean is wrong is one aspect, the commentators did mention his foot under the rope.
I wonder if the whole locker room ganged up on the KLIQ
Vince split them and only kept his headliner and the least over one. They lost bargaining power immediately. But ultimately Vince liked Shawn more than Bret, and no one can figure out why.
@@Thor-Orion well,if the rumor is true,vince is the one guy shawn always did the JOB for. If ya know what i mean lol.
And tbh it does explain a lot,,,
@@omegamark9178 I mean not really, Vince loved the huge dudes but Michaels gets the biggest soft spot
Plot twist Kevin nash and Scott hall where sent to wcw bye Vince to tear it down from the inside out
" bye vince! "
" i kissed him on the lips and he was stunned "
Yeah, no 😂
Shane and Shawn have the same raspy voice.... i get them confused if I'm not looking.... so shane don't be mad.... its just my ears I guess
Two words "Dirty Politicians "
Triple H was a designated driver that’s why the Kliq used him
The Klit
WWF/WWE would be nothing if it wasn’t for BRET HART & THE ROCK & STONE COLD
I still can’t respect any of them for their antics, they were old enough to know better.
Brett is a cry baby who would refuse to take some guys finishers or lose. He was no better of a person than the kliq members. Listening to his interviews today are pathetic bc he's bitter and annoying to listen to
This don't make sense . I. The time line Shane says razor mentions ecw but ecw wasn't around when Shane was the dean gimmick
Yes ECW was around during the Dean gimmick
THE HANNIBAL TV your right I stand corrected .
Yes he was. The thing is ECW didn’t get the notoriety yet. He was considered the first Extreme Championship Wrestling Champion.
Duke Droese and Justin Credible look high as hell
Meanwhile, present day. You cant even tell Carl has a bad eye.
And Shawn looks worse than JR.
Shane Douglas gives a story that says Nash was pushed by HBK into suggesting the finish against Carl Oulette. Carl (and even Nash) gives a story that says Nash said straight up “Big Boot, Jackknife, 1, 2, 3”.
Makes me wonder if Shane misremembered something.
Quite telling that PJ Walker even says their friendship was all BS.
Justin Credible should’ve joined in the hug, yes his time with WWF would be over but WCW would more likely than not had picked him up, he’d have potentially joined nWo and the rest would be history.
What sad about this is I bet none of the kliq are truly remorseful for their behavior back then. You can see it on how they speak today. They don't take accountability for their behavior and they still talk negative about many of their former co workers. Makes me shake my head when I see them praised today. Great performers in the ring but terrible rotten people.
Who cAres qlik 4l
the only one I've seen have remorse was Shawn
Wrestling is just 100% entertainment now. I wouldn’t even call it sports entertainment.
Wrestling is a sport because they have to workout and be in shape to do it. Nascar, poker, and golf are not sports because out of shape lazy people can do it
It's always been entertainment what do you mean now?
WWE is a real life comic that purports wrestling.
@@aestheticshardstyle8927 lol look up the definition of sport and you’ll be surprised.
1.
an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
That means even nascar is a sport. Sorry bub
@@guidoluzzi66 I bet you are using that definition from someone that don’t workout because you don’t workout. It’s a workout thing.
I really reallllyyy don't think little aldo Montoya was invited to come out during the curtain call. Never heard from any of the cliq that he was invited. He just wants to seems special.
Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, who knows? But he does seem genuine to me.
I would love to see an old Ivan putski interview but I'm sure he probably died in the 90s
There is a reason while Kevin Nash as Diesel was the lowest earning champion of all time. No sense for the business.
He Wasn't The Lowest Drawing Champion Dumb A$$ Smark, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Kurt Angle & All Those Indy Vanilla Midgets Were The Lowest Drawing Champion Of All Time In WWE. I Know Kevin Nash Know More About The Business Than You Think/Wish You Do/Did.
In all honesty though, Nash had to play the smiley new generation champion and tow the company line. At the back end of his WWE run Nash started to let some of his real persona shine and he was probably the first wrestler I saw hold up the middle finger at a live PPV. Later when he went on to WCW Nash showed that he could entertain and could always cut a promo. Nash was never going to be a big man worker the likes of Undertaker not even close, but he could entertain when he was free to cut loose.
Peace Dweller Nash and Hall were always entertaining, and the outsiders gimmick definitely changed wrestling in the mid ‘90’s, but add Hogan’s contract to theirs, and there was a reason why the WWF didn’t give out contracts like the WCW did giving those guys unlimited creative control. Those guys reached the top by because they did what Vince McMahon said. They did what was best for business. They were the hottest promotion there was, the product was good and changed the industry, and they could have dethroned the king. Then their egos got in the way . Aside from the obscene amount of money WCW threw at those guys ( which is no fault of theirs), you had three guys who didn’t always do what was best for business, and it ultimately destroyed the company. The Finger Poke of Doom and Hogan’s refusing to put over Jeff Jarrett are the two biggest examples of egos over business.The company never knew a good thing when they had it ( Steve Austin, HHH, Nash and Hall their first time Around), and their inability to see talent mixed with the need to appease “ the boys” at the top, and guys like Jericho, Benoit, Guerrero get buried. The same guys go to the WWE and become hugely popular, and all end up champs .
@@allencollins1617 Correct Kevin was considered a low drawing champion for the time but more current champions such has Kofi, Seth, Kevin Owens, Eddy Guerrero, JBL and CM Punk have drawn a lot worse. Even AJ Styles drew worse according to studies done on it.
Scott Hall is a fucking genius he pitched scared face to Vince he gave sting his crow gimmicks and predicted Becky rise to the top of the card when she was still in nxt. Aew and wwe are both idiots for not hiring on their creative team or scout team yet
Justin, did being involved with the Kliq help your standing in the company?
Sure, don't you remember my epic run as Aldo Montoya?
With the yellow jock strap on his head?
The kliq is wrestling
4l
32:00 That's not exposing the business. It's just being sloppy and being unprofessional.
I don't even think it was just that. He was going out of his way to make Shane look bad in front of Bill Watts. Shawn already had a reputation for beign a great worker, so by ignoring all of Shane's calls and messing with the flow othe match, he made it look like it was Shane's fault the match was bad.
Gooch toasting
Shawn will always be my favorite (him telling 6 dudes at the bar that "they weren't getting laid because he was there" makes him even cooler lol)
That being said, I believe every word Shane says
You have issues if you think that’s normal behaviour to glorify 😂, or just be a 16 year old wannabe jock with a small one incher
@@1Leggo9my9Eggo2 lol it's called living life, while having a good time with friends....and it hilarious
2) It's "normal behavior" when you're a rockstar. (And Shawn was a rockstar)
3) Your clearly jealous of Shawn. (Guys like shawn make you question you own manhood lol)
It would have been a great vignette actualy during the attitude era to have DX go into a bar and for shawn to say that. If your here to try and get laid you won't because the hbk is here.
@@cappy2282 Living life isn't being beaten to a pulp by a bunch of marines. As Jim Cornette once said, Shawn was 0 - life when it came to real fights.
“0 - life”was the quote from Cornette.
Firstly I gotta say Scott Hall is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time. Hall & Nash and the whole Nitro NWO era was my obsession as a kid. I just wanna let it be known that I’m a huge huge fan but among a whole bunch of other situations through the years. The way he and the kliq done Shane Douglas is so fucked up and idk what the reason was or why they decided to “sabotage” him is fucked up. I’ve seen interviews w Scott saying Shane just wasn’t good(which is simply untrue) but in reality deliberately went heavy on him when in the ring as to make it look as though he just wasn’t good. When Shawn Michaels was apart of the Rockers as a kid they were my favorite tag team. But when he became the heartbreak kid I never could stand him he’s just done some bitch ass snaky ho shit. As an athlete he’s one of it not the best ever. The Kliq were very smart and made the business work in their favor by forming and getting as much $ as they possibly could and I can’t do nothing but respect it. Still don’t excuse the dirty shit that in some cases ended people’s careers or lives in some cases. The Franchise Shane Douglas seems like a very intelligent humble good dude n it sucks he was done that way
I LOVE Shane but damn he looks old
