"Integrity"... As per Bret at a live speaking event in Australia in April, 2024, he's still owed around $100,000 for working for this promotion. Who owes him that money? Andrew McManus, the dodgiest promoter Australia has ever known. Whenever his name is attached to an event, anybody with any knowledge of the major events industry in Australia rolls their eyes, knowing the event will go through various lineup changes, artists won't be paid, and anybody unfortunate enough to have purchased a ticket will be bitterly disappointed. Weirdly -- or not? -- Jeff Jarrett seemed to speak highly of McManus on his podcast...
17:15 hey, look, it's 'The Gifted' Glenn Gilberti. How is he gifted? Also, aren't we missing ANOTHER dance beat here? Or does that only apply to when Disco actually wrestles?
@@mezykin😂 Love his channel too. This channel, MarkyD, and OSW definitely have the best pro wrestling content on YT in my opinion. Especially if your into the nostalgia of old school wrestling. Gotta love it!
Fun Fact: This wrestling event actually came to Ireland in 2001 and 2002! It was put on in the Point Depot and the Odyssey Arena! Some wrestling fans saw it back then and said it was pretty good!
Wrestling With Wregret covered WWA’s whole run a few years back but didn’t go in-depth on any of their shows, it was a very strange promotion probably best described as late-period WCW mixed with the best and worst of early TNA (literally in the latter case as WWA served as a platform for a lot of TNA’s early roster). One of their lowest points was the 2002 PPV Revolution, their one and only US show. Among its many issues the marketing heavily advertised Kevin Nash and Scott Hall (who backed out after returning to WWE), Road Dogg (who backed out for personal reasons), and a main event featuring Randy Savage (who no-showed and had to be replaced with Road Dogg’s planned opponent Brian “Grandmaster Sexay” Christopher at the last minute).
@@brandonpage7087 There weren’t many of them. No idea what the PPV buyrate was like but the live attendance was only 2800. And a lot of them probably didn’t care much, it came from the Aladdin Casino (now Planet Hollywood Las Vegas) and I’m guessing a lot of attendees were tourists just looking for a show.
I was a fanatical WCW fan so I bought every single one of these PPVs at the time since I just wasn't into the WWF/WWE, thus I feel your pain with a lot of this stuff. Best thing WWA did was introduce me to guys like AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels, which in turn got me into early TNA. So...worth it? I guess?
In a way, the WWA battle royal was ahead of its time - it would take a decade and a half but GCW would give us the CLUSTERFUCK where wrestlers, mascots, living blow-up dolls, and Sean Ross Sapp all compete for bragging rights in the middle of the night.
This was the beginning of the “dashed hopes” era as far as finding a real #2 promotion and alternative. I remember reading the review and just going…”oh well…”
I was in the military at this point and living in the dorms. They had this playing in the dorms' "Day Room" where I was playing chess with this in the background. I remember chess feeling a lot more interesting, but I'd occasionally glance over to see what was going on.
Rove McManus was a tv host like a Jimmy Fallon in Australia for many years, and was a major celebrity in the early 2000s. He was the reason wrestling came to Australia as he was a huge mark. I think it was his father who was the producer
What you said about Rove is completely accurate for his career tv Host, Comedian, Tv Personality and Massive Wrestling fan. Had a weekly late night talk show in the 2000s that would reguarly feature wrestlers when they were promoting and you could tell he was a giant fan
2:47 "I think he'll be coming back". He was at a show called "Australia Stampede" in Ballarat this weekend that he was credited as presenting. I'd say he came back here.
I always wanted to know what happened. I remember the graphics on the internet from this era of wrestling. It was an exciting thought that WWA *seemed* to have all these big stars. But nothing ever came from it in the states. Thanks for doing the lord’s work.
I remember the Vegas show very well where Eddie Guerrero wrestled and Randy Savage was heavily promoted as the main attraction and then he no showed and was replaced by Brian Christopher.
Despite these WWA shows being pretty rubbish, there is a great trilogy of matches between Devon Storm and Sabu on these PPVs. Those two were probably the two MVPs of the ever-changing WWA roster.
Psychosis had a history of visa issues and missing dates in the USA, I'm surprised he got through Australia's border control 😂😂 (cutting his hair and taking off the mask was a mistake)
I actually attended a WWA show in London. The main even was supposed to me Sting and Lex Luger vs Buff Bagwell and Mallace (FKA the Wall). Lex apparently no showed and was therefore replaced by Nathan Jones. Another highlight was Disco Inferno vs Konan for the right to do commentary and when they fought to a draw they ended up doing commentary together 😂
No it wasn't. I'm Australian and I went to Thunder in Melbourne when WCW toured Australia in October 2000. It's the first and only wrestling event I have ever attended. Nitro and Thunder episodes were filmed in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane.
I seen a much shorter lived “replacement promotion” mecw, they held the show at the ecw arena and I remember a lot of ecw guys and curt henig Mike rotunda and buff bagwell being on the show. I bought tickets for the second show that never happened and never got refunded
Oh man, if you're up for reviewing their Vegas PPV Revolution, try to hunt down the Larry Zbysko promo from that show since it was more of a shoot on Vince McMahon and I think was edited out of the replay. This was around the time he sued WWF over the "Living Legend" name because they had Chris Jericho saying it while he was Undisputed Champion.
I actually went to a WWA show in Birmingham. The commentary team for the show was Disco Inferno and Jeremy Borash, and really bizarrely, you could hear the commentary over the arena PA. This show wasn't televisied or even filmed as far as i know. So just, why? Lol
That's funny. I had the same experience at Newcastle, but it was Konnan on commentary as well. Not sure if Borash was on though. All I remember was all the jokes made towards Disco, no one liked him there.
@ZionKraze I wonder if we saw essentially the same show in different towns. Do you remember what matches you saw? The main event in Birmingham was a triple threat between Jeff Jarrett, Road Dog and Scott Steiner.
Honestly, I don't remember off the top of my head. I looked up the events on cagematch and that was the main event for their first show, but the commentary was on the second show. That part I do remember, because Sting was there and I painted my face at that event. That was the only other thing I remembered from that.
I wasn’t going to watch this because other channels already covered wwa.. but I’m glad I did because you covered in-depth and I’ve learned more with this review than the others. Best wrestling channel on TH-cam
I'm Mexican and I thought Juvi's schtick of ripping off The Rock's catchphrases (especially with his broken English and even way back in WCW) was beyond derpy-derp.
Jerry Lawler leaving because his wife was fired was the DUMBEST ish ever. All that time he had invested with that company only to leave because of his wife and then wind up getting a divorce anyway lol
I felt the break from Lawler made us appreciate him more and miss the King more. Plus the return segment of Vince firing Heyman and JR beating him up and then the King being reintroduced and pointing and laughing at Heyman, was pretty awesome.
Haha i was there in attendance for Inception and I don't remember the crowd being so hyped when Bret said he went back to his hotel 😅 We did all boo 'the WCW' though
The problem wasn't just the announcing. They brought in Rove McMcManus like anyone outside Australia would actually know who he was at the time. And when you're pusing Nathan Jones, you're dead in the water already.
I remember going to a WWA event in Manchester in December 2001 where I saw Jeremy Borsach for the first time, Bret Hart was the commissioner. Jarett champion with Road Dogg, Stevie Ray, Norman, Grand Master Sexy and others turning up to it. It was decent enough and great to see Bret, especially in person for first time since One Night Only 1997.
I feel like at least half of this show's problems could've been solved by not making the absolut idiot amateur mistake of playing the commentary over the damn PA. that and letting the bananas in pyjamas go over. (also on a more serious note, they should've just cut the "Battle Royale" out entirely from the DVD release.)
I went to a WWA show in Belfast back in the day it felt like an early WCW show but with former WWF stars Booker T.'s brother even had a match using his brother's theme music It must have been a copyright nightmare to run them shows.
Bret Hart forgot to tell Road Dogg to Shut Up.
And thank his number one fan...
His cat
I knew Bret was a cat guy. Love em even more for it 😁
He also apparently forgot how to cut promos.
@@Chuck_ELSmokey! Such a jam-up feline friend
I don't think regular WB memes apply here. We never got the Big Wiggle music, either. Or Disco's, for that matter.
Lawler's commentary during Bret's promo, along with the fake crowd, sounds like late 90's video game commentary.
It really does!
Wow. Just went and re watched that part and it's all I can think of now.
I was thinking the exact same thing
Borash too

You never know.... haha
The last ride.... The last ride
Same reaction. I was like what kind of commentary is this? 😂😂😂😂 just adlibing few quotes
The quality of that belt reflected the quality of this PPV. Like a high school metal shop project.

I don't think he would've cared, he got paid well and got a trip to Australia
