He's always in the last place you look, but I guess that goes for anything, I mean why would you keep looking for something if you had found it already
i remember watching all three episodes when they first aired in 2000. A decade later I could find no evidence this promotion ever existed online and was under the impression I had imagined the whole thing.
Haha. Yeah I saw and taped all 3 episodes and assumed it had gone under in week 4. I was 13 and this is when I was obsessed with wrestling then. I liked it because it was different for the time. I always wondered what happened to Stan lane
Maybe a kick ass serious stable would gave worked? Jim Cornette as manager/mouth peice... Dan Severn, Lance Storm... Idk who else would have fit that bill... Knowing Corny he probably would have tried to bring in the Bodies again...
Schiavone hasn't done commentary in decades, he is relearning the job. He is actually still quite good though, even though I will agree Tazz is better.
WXO is kinda like the wrestling show that you came across when you surf the tv channels after the commercial break, you watch it for 5 minutes and then go back to watch some game show. Weird but okay to watch.
Me too. Some of these he’s talked about I knew of and others (like this, the kids wrestling promotion, and that one with Dennis Rodman) 8m just hearing about for the first time.
@@thehorrorhound6575 unlike Dan Savern, Brock Lesnar has a reason for sounding the way he does. He once said he accidentally ate a worm when he was a kid.
Sad that he always become a joke in America, Both by his owndoing and his voice, role. Because he actually great as a wrestler in Japan. Why didn't he settle down at here after he retired as a wrestler and became some producer at Japan Wrestling ?
@@CharizardMaster69 well actually if you listen to some of cultaholic's podcast they do mention adam a couple of times , they still talk to him in real life and they're still in good terms
After WXO folded, Al Green returned to WCW as "The Dog". He was in a group with Fit Finlay and Brian Knobs. He was a last minute replacement for Sabu, who couldn't return to WCW due to contract issues.
Just a thought, I wouldn’t mind seeing a retrospective on Barry Darsow one day. The man has been around for years, and still to this day wrestles every now and then. He has memorable gimmicks for days (for better or worse). Demolition Smash, Repo Man, Stuart Payne, Big Black Bully Cock, etc... I just think it would make for an interesting video.
I literally got a recommendation for their first show on youtube last month. I found a playlist of their 3 shows shortly after. I made it through the first episode. Wouldn't recommend it.
@@AliSubhi-xs4rn Exalt this martyr in the highest of regards. I found the first show unshakably mediocre. There just wasn't enough bad to it to be entertaining for me.
Your 'dead promotions' videos are always my favorite and this was no exception. Looking forward to the day you cover the UWA (Urban Wrestling Alliance) from this same time period.
@@elneco4654 Lol, they just reinterpreted two of the biggest Japanese Wrestlers ever, as if they could be bothered with such small details, makes the whole fiasco even funnier
The Bodies were Ace Steel and Danny Dominion, of Steel Dominion Wrestling out of Chicago I think? They did a bunch of local shows in StPaul/Minneapolis in the late nineties that I attended. A very young CM Punk came out of that promotion.
That abberivation sounds like it came out of an Japanese wrestling game with no promotion license. Talking of which, Riki Choshu's Fighting of World Japan Pro Wrestling could be a good Promotion Graveyard content.
Darsow during that Priceline commercial reminded me of when the TV from the Brave Little Toaster was being over the top trying to get Master's attention about going to Ernie's Disposal.
Days before the 2011 Slammy Awards CM Punk: What can I ad to my montage in order to hummilliate John laurinaitis Whats this WXO, Hey johnny its there Laurinaitis:"If You Don't Got It, Get It! If You Don't Get It... Figure It Out!" Cm punk: this is gold
I remember seeing this show around Sunday 6:00am on WB 20 when I lived in Oakland California in 2000 or something like that. I forgot about them because they weren't on the air for too long. And when I turned the TV on and the show was on the air, it was more for background noise, while I was making a cup of coffee.
Thank you for doing this video. I honestly thought I had imagined watching an episode of WXO many years ago. Thanks for the evidence that I didn't somehow make this promotion up in a fever dream or something.

Dan Severn was great... but man he had absolutely no charisma. He needed his own Paul Heyman.
Like Jim Cornette? Like they tried in the WWF? But actually give it a chance to get over? Unlike they did in the WWF.
Well, he has something...man can turn a hot room cold, as if a killer just walks in..

@@HypervoxelRBX Been saying it since I heard Tazz on AEW Dark couple months ago and realized just how much better he is.

Stan Lane was beaten down on the last episode of WXO to write him off while he had another assignment calling the Georgia Bulldogs :P
WXO is kinda like the wrestling show that you came across when you surf the tv channels after the commercial break, you watch it for 5 minutes and then go back to watch some game show.

Better question: why is AJ styles in all of them
Thats what Severn sounds like? I imagined his voice much more grizzled
Nope, He was dry as a bone. Dude was a great wrestler/fighter, but he had 0 personality in the ring.
