WCW Fall Brawl 99 took place in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on September 12th 1999. For the first time ever there won't be a War Games match at this year's event, instead WCW are going to present another Hulk Hogan vs Sting main event. This time the match is all about trust; Lex Luger has made it clear that the "Red and Yellow" Hulk Hogan can't be trusted while Sting remains conflicted. All questions will be answered in the WCW Championship main event match.
Elsewhere on the card Harlem Heat get a chance to regain their Tag Team Championships, the ICP and Vampiro take on the Filthy Animals, DDP battles Goldberg, and Sid gets a shot at the US Championship.
This video is part of the Reliving The War video series.

I can't believe Alex kept it together with all that stuff Duggan was pulling, a real professional.
Alex was a true professional indeed.
He was an undervalued competitor
Our boy did good
It's the size of the sausage-hausen weiner schnitzel .
Das Wunderkind cannot be messed with.
RIP Brian Hildebrand/Mark Curtis the fingerguns for the bell were the best.
Charles Robinson did it to end the main event. Maybe a nod to Curtis
I always loved Mark Curtis's bounce he did when two big guys would hit the mat for a high impact move. He'd make the move appear more devastating by selling the ring movement. Not many refs can make the wrestler's moves look better. He was one of the best.
Absolutely insane how Benoit was sick of the old guys stinking up all the TV time and wanted things to change, so WCW responded by having the entire Revolution faction lose to said old guys on this entire PPV.
Tbf, Sid wasn’t that old but they still did Benoit dirty here
Yeah, no wonder three of the four would be gone within 3 and a half months time.
I guess with Sid having to put over Shawn Michaels so often, by now Sid Vicious was like "Nope!"
They were all mid carders. Mid carders get replaced all the time.
@@ArcaneAnarchyyup along with filthy animals member Eddie Guerrero know as the radicalz in the WWF
Berlyn and Duggan shades of Paul Roma
A historic PPV, because Tony Schiavone finally called a side walk slam correctly.
How fitting. At Fall Brawl 1998, Chris Jericho defended his title against a Fake Goldberg. In 1999, the Cruiserweight Title was defended by a Fake Chris Jericho.
I was gonna say when I saw him, “Is that? No.. Can’t be.”
Ran into the wall. I see what you did there
You can't argue that fake Goldberg was more popular than fake Jericho. And real Jericho was as popular, if not more than real Goldberg at this time Even if it's just because he switched sides
Wrestling Bios is finally getting close to start reliving WCW 2000. Gonna be a wild ride
At least WWF 2000 will balance it out.
“Who does he think he is? Jim Duggan?” 😂
Drop Kick! Who do you think you are? That's Hulk Hogan.
RIP to Brian Hildebrand. I was gonna question his ashes used like that, but considering his wishes? That's actually pretty classy of them.
If I was involved in wrastlin’ I would’ve done the same. Hell I would’ve wanted the pyro to be only my ashes and for it to be splashed, STRAIGHT INTO THE FANS FACES!
Alex Wright deserved so much better
I dont get why the guy always seem to be the victim of selfish veterans
I'd have given him one, I mean more
@emanuelsosa8 because everyone who feuds with him were scared of the bratwurst. (ooh big bratwurst)😂
😊@@aarongaray2595
Man Alex Wright has some of the shittiest luck when it comes to opponents. The guy he's feuding with doesn't want to do the job on the PPV and the guy replacing him decides to be an unprofessional dickhead.
I like ole hacksaw but come on dude, that wasn't necessary.
I love how Hacksaw brought up the fact that he doesn't "get used because he doesn't put the young guys over" and it's like, Oooooh, I wonder why you don't get used?
let's not forget back during Alex's early days there was a dude who refused to job to him
@@woobgamer5210 Paul Roma
@MoonlightStrider I wonder if he ever figured that conundrum out?
@@MoonlightStrider Cut to 2006/7 when Umaga debuts and he was getting his ass wrecked by him week in and week out.
The WCW PPV where Sting turned heel and the fans still cheered for him LOL. I can't believe WCW thought the audience would have booed Sting despite being a fan favorite for years. Another reason why the turn didn't work was because Hogan spent 3 years controlling WCW with the NWO, and now he was a good guy all of a sudden. In the end, it was a fail.
WWE did the same thing with Stone Cold Steve Austin with the same results, they turned him heel but the Fans cheered him anyways. Austin was so over the Fans loved him no matter what the WWE storylines portrayed him as.
@@mikebryant614Austin's heel turn, for me, is considered the worst one out of the history of wrestling, while Hulk Hogan's heel turn is one of the greatest. A real ying/yang situation.
If you think it about it Sting had a motive to turn Heel
@@mikebryant614it didn’t help that they did it in his Hometown which pretty much wasn’t gonna boo him at all.
hitting hogan with a bat was not a good way to turn sting heel considering that a lot of fans were getting tired of Hogan.
Vampiro saying “you owe me one” is the 1999 equivalent of Jim Neidhart’s timeless classic, “YOU RUDE!.”
WCW 2000 going to be peak RTW episodes 😂
The Creation of the Greatest wrestler ever Vacant the
Lmao. Can't even remember the last time WCW got a point. And I don't think they will be getting another any time soon.
@@TheBandit025NovaVacant! The BLANKETY BLANKETY BLANK!
@@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090 How come Vacant hasn't been inducted into any of the pro wrestling Halls of Fame?
@@kith1235thought it got one last month, definitely one this spring.
It's a good thing the crowd was happy with the bait and switch for the Berlyn match. It went from being a PPV worthy match to something that should have been an opener for Thunder.
"brass knucks that don't look like brass knucks but we'll call them brass knucks anyway"
Love that line
This PPV took place the very day I was born, so that’s neat. Though I’ll never get to experience what it was like watching all this happen in real time, this series has been a cool way to see how the Monday Night Wars, Attitude Era and decline of WCW unfolded.
Yesss wcw ppv. Who needs the who killed wcw documentary. We got wrestling bios man
THATS WHAT IM SAYIN!
Oh Hell Yeah✊️✊️✊️
eventually hogan is gonna come on talkin bout "i was always a fan of wrestling bios since day 1 brotha"
Just a coincidence Lenny Layne (a Chris J clone) is getting a push after Y2J leaves for the Fed
The best way to celebrate Father’s Day a wrestling bios reliving the war ppv review happy Father’s Day everyone
Brian Hildebrand wanting to be part of a wcw show one more time just hits you 😢
Only found out when watch a nachomane ytube vid, that he was wlso kowwbunga - ninja turtle. He had a match with jim cornette!
@@indianastones6032 He was actually a more than decent wrestler. But he was only 5'6'' and could only have gone over 150 lbs with a backpack full of bricks on his shoulders. When he started wrestling in the mid-to-late '80s, after having been a manager since 1984, there was no realistic chance to have a successful career as a pro wrestler with those stats.
It's such a shame he had to pass away as young as he did. F%&k cancer!
I think I heard Cornette say that Hildebrand was a wrestler at some point. But, I can't be sure. It's also depressing that we lost referee Randy Anderson. And son of Gorilla Monsoon, Joey Morella in a car accident. And Tim White, too.
I bet this is the wake up call WCW needed! im sure it will get better from here on out!
😂😂
A heel turn that no one wanted. After this PPV, Sting was cheered by most fans. It was like Goldberg's situation here.
And Hogan worked like a heel throughout the match
Great video!
I'm happy to see you mention Brian Hildebrand's passing in this video. RIP Brian
"WCW don't use me much because I don't like putting over younger guys"
What an absolute carny. Remembering when he squashed Steve Austin for the US title while thinking of this quote is top tier comedy.
Is it just me, everytime someone goes after Sid's leg i get goosebumps 😳
Frikin Buff Bagwell thinking he was above anyone is actually hilarious.
He certainly was on the stuff.
I always saw Buff as the mid mid card like Disco Inferno that WCW was trying to put over but I couldn’t care less.
Buff was pretty good and at times really over.
I always get a kick out of the "brass knucks" routine.
I still can't believe that Fall Brawl 99 didn't have a war games match
Yeah It just doesn’t seem right..
What I remember most about wcw:
Team Canada, Major Gunns, the Lex Flexxer
Thanks for highlighting Brian Hildebrand, I had no idea about the pyro send off. 🤯
The best line I ever read, and still use, about WCW PPV was from one of the old Monday Night Recap from I believe "Slobberknocker Central, back during the Monday Night Wars. "WCW PPV's are like Dr Pepper. You see it advertised and you think, that looks good, I think I'll get one. So you get one and you realize that it's poison. Then a month later you see it advertised, and you think, that looks good, I think I'll get one..."
WCW really shot themselves in the foot when they decided to turn Sting and later on Goldberg heel
Stings heel turn didn't even work cause they kept cheering him anyways
Bischoff’s refusal to look past Hogan as face of the company really hit him in the ass pretty quickly
“HES GOING OFF SCRIPT!”
@@DariusFrench6273Because he didn't have a f****** clue what he was doing and anyone in creative was just collecting a paycheck they probably seen the writing on the wall
@@brianshields7485 Hogan knew damn well he had a shelf life and yet he, and Bischoff, refused to acknowledge or look past that.
Also, creative control in the contract? Recipe for disaster. Just the beginning of the inmates running the asylum.
“Kick or be Kidman”
You’re welcome.
*you're. You're welcome.
I will never understand guys refusing to put other guys over. Especially a midcard guy who fans barely care about anymore. It’s a shame. Bag well lost all the time and Duggan was lucky to still have a place to do what he calls wrestling.
Makes you wonder if "Berlin" had some legitimate heat with the guys in the locker room. Having one guy refuse to job and another refuse to sell seems odd.
Knowing how the top guys, and creative, at the time treated the undersized and/or foreign talent, he needn’t have done anything wrong, either.
I’m surprised Bagwell never got more flak for this
Maybe a permeating stigma because years prior he was a Ric Flair project? Ik the reason Paul Roma immediately got fired for the stunt he pulled with Alex was because Flair was absolutely livid about it.
Yeah he'd been there for 5 years already it's weird to think Bagwell wouldn't job to a guy that he'd been coworkers with for that long
Wellll, Duggan never sold much. He, Hogan, Austin(I've recently heard),Cena and a few others think it's 100% real and wouldn't put anyone over if it hurt their character in their eyes. Marks, I think they're called.
So strange looking back and realizing Dean Malenko matches would be a sad spot in a card. Because you know, Dean Malenko. He had the talent. And had great matches in the past. But man did this last month just do him no favors.
Also daaaamn. Alex Wright and having people trying to torpedo his matches. How many times did that happen? We're up to 3 just covered on the channel specifically now with the Tony Roma, and two in this video (Buff walking out then Dugan's performance).
Huh?? What happened??
15:26 OHHHHHHHHHHHHH I GET IT!!!!!!!!
That's The Wall Brother! HEY WALL!!!
Berlyn and the wall brother 😂😂 yeah.
For some reason Roger Waters HATES late 1999 Nitro.
Absolutely refuses to watch it in the flesh.
@@fangjokerLS Hey You, writing comments in the thread, always watching what you said,
if Roger Waters watched any WCW Nitro in late 1999, he would be Comfortably Numb
@@roccojamison89gooker51 if Vince Russo goes skating on the thin ice of pro wrestling, we'd all best run like hell, otherwise we're waiting for the worms and we don't want to stick around for the trial.
The Berlyn situation is wild. All that effort and TV time promoting Alex Wright’s new character and two mid card vets just scuttle the whole thing? And it doesn’t seem like there were big consequences?
If it were WWE, Bagwell would have been completely buried as unprofessional and a quitter on air and Duggan would have been fired.
Edit: To be fair, yeah the lack of Bischoff at that particular moment was probably a factor here for why Buff thought he could get away with it.
Alex did seem pretty pissed. Kudos to him for not walking away from the match.
Hulk Hogans last night as WCW World champion
Kidman kneed Vamp in the face with that finish. he looked gassed.
I was there live for this and yes, fans did not think Sting was a heel just that Hogan got what he deserved! lol All of us were cheering for Sting to hit him with the bat!
TH-cams algorithm suggested I watch WB Blunder video of the new Lex Luger today which briefly went over the PPV.
04:55 Side note: Kaz Hayashi is currently on his retirement tour.
Interesting.
Wow
26:41, hahahaha, I'm dying. Great observation!
Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays are always great with Wrestling Bios on the airwaves!
0:16: WB was absolutely right: we wouldn’t see a WarGames match until 2017, but by then, it would be under the WWE banner with modified rules, which has remained in place ever since:
1. Two five-man teams inside a steel cage surrounded by two rings with two doors on each end, but with no roof.
2. The first two men chosen at random start the match for five minutes.
3. After the first five minute period, the team that has the advantage (thanks to a superstar winning a WarGames advantage ladder match) gets the next man in, making WarGames 2-on-1.
4. Every three minutes afterward, teams alternate periods until all 10 men have entered the match.
5. After all 10 men have entered, The Match Beyond officially begins.
6. Pinfall or submission is the only way to win, and anything goes with the exception of one DQ: if any superstar escapes the cage, that superstar forfeits the match for his team.
Tbh MLW did it before WWE
@@souvikdeb808TNA to, Lethal Lockdown was pretty much Wargames but half the space in a 6 sided cage.
@@gatchywatchyentertainmentb2090 yeah
There was a wargames match on nitro in the triple cage In 2000.
War Games would spend two decades in the mothballs, but in the meantime, we'd see plenty of its kid brother Elimination Chamber.
Edit: And its cousin Lethal Lockdown.
Rip to mr curtis the ref....also kowabunga the ninja turtle!! His gun show after the three count with be gone but not forgotten.
Would have expected a bit more on Vampiro actually power bombing Kidman. That is him and Malenko that have pulled it off now. RIP Brian Hildebrand.
The difference between the Page/Goldberg 98 match vs the Page/Goldberg 99 match is a fascinating microcosm of WCW.
6:47 Nothing like in ring interviews on a freaking PPV!
Sting with the most well received "heel turn" in history. I know I enjoyed watching him lay out Hogan, in what was otherwise a forgettable match, and ppv...
They really thought they would boo sting over hogan after wood from the hood was in the nWo trying to kill WCW. Ain't no way they booing sting
When all the good Cruisereweights became mid-carders the division really suffered imo.
But that's exactly what they are & should be. But it is fake wrestling so Benoit should be able to beat super heavyweights like Brock & Kurt Angle......sarcasm alert.
Another awesome episode of Reliving the war WCW fall brawl 1999 was a good PPV great stuff as always this series is so much fun to watch.
Lenny Lane pulling the ol Adrian Street prancing move to attract heat
When the ref searches DDP and finds the chain, then the roll of quarters come out of his sleeve, for some reason i thought of "The Naked Gun" when Frank is the umpire and searches the pitcher
3 mins in and theres already 20 + comments damn hes surely become alot more popular than when i started watching congrats to your successes
This guys work is always top notch, well deserved success imho!
WB goes above and beyond every video. He deserves 10x the viewers and subs. All I can say is thank you and I look forward to future content
The David Aquette WHC reign is coming.
You know what I told them.... SHUT UP!!!😂😂
Russo wins the whc too...
The final PPV Eric Bischoff put together. Next Nitro begins the post-Bischoff era of WCW. Maybe Bill Busch can convince a certain writer from the WWF to jump ship. What am I saying that might be a terrible idea come to think of it, as WCW in 2000 was worse than WCW in 1999.
Who Killed WCW by Vice--new show, don't miss it.
So... Who the hell thought turning Sting *and* Diamond Dallas Page heel in 1999 was a good move? Fans LOVED both guys. Those ideas never should've left the draft stage.
Some say they needed heels.. Some say they wanted to try something new. I say Hogan wanted to main event as a babyface, so they had to get their best babyfaces (Sting, DDP) to turn heel. They had so much star power for fresh main events with Sting, DDP, Goldberg, Bret Hart.
@@DBecks09 I didn't wanna blame Hogan bc it's a meme at this point. But seeing him in the red and yellow with the Big Gold Belt in 1999 is the kinda lameness only he would advocate for. The same garbage that didn't would in 1995 WCW was gonna save it while crushing 2 out of the 3 top babyfaces?
Great episode as always. Can someone find, "The greatest wrestling promo ever." Where the wrestler and manager both say, "He gives em one of these, and he gives em one of those!" I must know where it came from!
This is the first Fall Brawl event that doesn't have a WarGames or any cage match. That's how creatively bankrupt WCW was in this time frame.
I absolutely love that image of sting on the thumbnail
You missed little natch throwing the finger guns for the main event finish.
The first non war games fall brawl since 1991 😢
Maybe the right time for a short compilation video of Mr Curtis? RIP sir.
I have my Barq’s and I am ready to watch
Been waiting all day for this! Thanks WB!
I never saw mark Curtis at the time but those finger blast fingers are a RTW highlight for me. RIP
RIP To Him At 10:28! He was great to watch!
Filthy Animals vs. ICP was a really good match!
How come no one talks about the Salam screwjob where Sid Vicious clearly submitted by tapping the mat yet still won the title?
Edit: Sting didn't turn heel. He just won by the best means available and gave Hollywood Hogan exactly what he deserved. Its always nice to see faces decide breaking the rules to bring down the heel is acceptable.. And since Hogan was a heel from Bash at the Beach 96 until WCW closed he is clearly still the heel in this match.
Tapping wasn't really a thing back then, wrestlers before would bang the matt to build a fan reaction
@@TheKillingJoker1980idk, i very clearly remember Shamrock making Rock tap several times during 98. Mightve just been a wcw thing tho where it was rarer.
@@TheKillingJoker1980 I thought tapping became a sign of submission before this though. If not when did it become a sign of submission?
Come to think of it, he has a point. If I think back on most submission wins, you don't see them tap. Usually they say yes when the referee asks.
Taps came into it with Shamrock and the UFC influence, but initially only in WWE and very rarely, Kurt Angle later populised it most I would suggest.
I have a big feeling that this is going to be the last decent wcw paperview and it was fun watching it back after I watched this review of the event
This is just another example of why I never liked Buff or Hacksaw. WCW was trying to push another superstar while the good old boys refused to do the job. WWE should have signed Alex and made him a star.
TBF did Alex ever become a star? Berlyn killed his career.
I love this series so much. Thank you for your continued great work! Pure nostalgic comfort right here.
Sting’s heel turn possibly a contender for worst of all time
Slim shady mysterio 😂😂
I was a pretty big Alex Wright fan back in the day. I really liked his look and personality and never understood why they decided to strip him of all of that. How was this ever supposed to get over? They dropped the ball. I wish Alex could have got a run in WWE. He probably would have got lost in the shuffle at first but I think Vince or someone in the back would have realized his untapped potential eventually and would have had a pretty good run.
Fall brawl not having war games is like royal rumble not having a damn rumble
I love the shot of Goldberg pinning DDP, quarters still scattered around the ring
Of course....
Thank god. I was having to watch football.
For us Americans, you mean soccer I assume 😅😅
I can see why Benoit and company jumped ship in 2000.
Plus they started bringing in more Young Blood guys who sucked & they pushed them over guys like Benoit.
Alex Wright deserved better.
Motto for life
Never thought Alex would get Paul Roma Part 2 LOL
That was the best lodi/Lenny match I've ever seen, holy cow
billy kidman just kneeing mf's in the face with that shooting star press.
The Russo days are almost here. Brace yourselves
Wait Russo isn’t there yet?
@@williamhash1093he said almost
And the final 18 months of WCW’s existence are here too!
Don’t excite me brother 😅
Thanks for the heads up. (Orders several bottles of bourbon as a survival mechanism)
The fans were just never gonna buy Sting as a Heel, it was tried a few times also in TNA & never had weight.
PPVs should not contain promos. That's what the monday nights are for!
Especially because the point of promos is generally to sell an audience on seeing the big PPV match, which means it’s too late when you’re already on the show. You’d think the 3 hours of Nitro every week would be a good time for them, but apparently not!
The only promos I’ll find acceptable are the ones back stage. I always enjoyed seeing the rock or ausitn get questioned on their match later that night.
The valley of amazing vs. atrocious content Wrestling Bios guy is about to go through on a weekly basis is going to be epic and I'll be keeping him in my thoughts
In your video you said “I’m excited about watching the war games match”
And I’m like “dude I’m excited about watching your video!”
Duggan is insufferable to watch. His shtick was just about tolerable in the cartoony wwf days. That's it. The fact he was still getting air time and on ppv in 1999 is just so wcw.
It's also doubly frustrating when you see his work back in Mid-South. Compared to this it's like night and day.
Get ready for some truly baffling Duggan tomfoolery in the year 2000 in WCW.
Alex Wright had been in the company for 5 years already. That's ridiculous from both Bagwell and Duggan
A war games match was desperately needed on this show
Hell yeah gettin in on the ground floor for this video.
Also R.I.P. To Brian Hildebrand.
Great last second save breaking up the pinfall
I miss him😢😢😢
Those Hogan big boots are incredible. The air pressure coming off them are enough to put down Sid
Love these videos
