Me, waking up, making coffee, sitting down and putting on TH-cam to watch my favorite wrestling channel...Pacitti breaks into a “We Didn’t Start the Fire” parody. Me, spits coffee thru my nose and almost chokes. Well-played, sir.
It’s so sad how every time you watch any kind of old school wrestling, half the guys are dead. I’ve watched tag team matches from like 99-2000 where 3/4 guys are dead and they all woulda been like 50 or younger.
I was a teenager in the crowd, right near where the wrestlers entered, at that show in Macon Georgia where Scott Hall first appeared in WCW, and it blew my mind, as well as Everyone else in the arena. It was so crazy! Kayfabe hadn't really been broken then, and we didn't know about the inner workings of the companies.
I know man. What makes me feel bad is when I was a kid I didn't have any internet and I wasn't subscribed to any wrestling magazines or anything like that. I watched wrestling and had to take it for face value at the time. So I would be cheering and screaming during a match loving that the guy I hated was getting whooped on. Then a couple decades later during a nostalgia binge, I discover the guy I was so happy got beat - got severely hurt for real and nearly died or at least ended their career.
Yea, well, that's what tends to happen to drug addicts, they die. Most of the morons I know who fell in with drugs and gangs didn't even make it to thirties... so is probably better to think of these guys as drug addicts who died later, than wrestlers who died early.
You missed Great Muta, and a bigger miss is Stevie Ray, he came in after Steiner and was the leader of NWO b-team at one point. Plus Bret Heart was part of the Hollywood faction. From there - Disco Inferno, then the Wolf Pack members - Lex Luger & Sting. That’s relevant because you spoke of Konan’s best performance in the wolf pack. The b&w also added Horace Hogan. Furthermore, if you want to get technical then you need to include Jeff Jarret and others from the black/silver NWO faction in 2000.
Bret Hart was never in NWO Hollywood. He only worked with them. Almost like DDP working with Wolfpac. Hart wasn't an NWO member until he, Jarrett and The Outsiders reformed the group in late 1999.
I have seen "Where are they now" videos from other channels, never would have thought Cultaholic would dip into these Well done though, I want more. Keep 'em coming!
The NWO and WCW was one of the most memorable, wild, and fun times to be a wrestling fan. You could switch the channels between WWF and WCW, I swear there were like 4 different shows through the week, it was awesome lol.
Best time in wrestling. I switched channels and taped WWE,since Nitro started first. WCW was awesome then and the NWO was totally mind blowing. Scott Hall is my favorite wrestler. Great times!
I met and hung out with Virgil some years back when he was doing a comic con in Detroit. Although he was super cool to me and sat there just telling me stories you were spot on about him being pushy about selling his autograph. Is watch him take kids last dollar with no shame
I remember the nWo gimmick was the hottest storyline in wrestling from Summer '96 to Starcade '97. The problem was that it became saturated with too many members and it was clear Hulk Hogan was pulling his creative control card whenever it came time for him to push over another wrestler. I remember when Bret Hart came over from the WWE after the "Montreal Screwjob." He looked out of place in WCW and really never gelled with the nWo. Then Scott Hall was having substance abuse problems, showing up to house shows inebriated and unable to wrestle. The kiss of death was the "fingerpoke of doom" match and Vince Russo writing crappy storylines that made no sense whatsoever (e.g., making David Arquette, an actor, the WCW Champion and then Russo himself winning the title on a stupid match in which he was dressed like Lawrence Taylor, formerly of the NY Giants). By that time, the WWE had better storylines and performers (e.g., Steve Austin, the Rock, Mick Foley, members of DX, etc.) which launched the "Attitude Era."
These guys didnt do any research on Vincent/Virgil, missed out a time after the nWo collapsed where he tried to come back as a singles competitor under another name (not Vincent or Virgil, forget what it was)
How about a what DID they 5 years ago for this years wrestlemania participants? (Maybe somewhat closer to actual WM and also when we know more about the card)
So funny, I remember Virgil at a convention in Pittsburgh, and me being a kid, thought he was rediculously rude, and didnt care about an autograph anymore after.
I cant believe We Didn't Start the Fire song came out in 89 that song sounds straight out of 75 like Springsteen would sing Born to run right after it lol. As for this video im not sure if i missed something but didn't David Flair join the NWO at SuperBrawl IX?
Update !!:-:!! 5:54 big show had a title shot right after WrestleMania right after Brock Lesner lost the title. Rumor is to make him relavent bc he has a show on Netflix.
Guys Virgil sets up at my local flea market every weekend and offers the “virgil Olive Garden experience” !!! He actually charges 40 dollars and you buy him dinner, all that for his great company... just ask people in Youngstown Ohio about him
You mean half of the WCW roster?
More like a quarter of it.
Wcw had over 400 roster but never used them .
@@moedog which means they were paid to travel and drink coffee and hang out in catering oh what a terrible way to make a living...
@@moedog Basically WWE now, just keeping people like Harper undrr contract and not using them
They were so many, they could have started their own wrestling company
We need the full song of that intro ASAP!
We so do!
Please no xD
That song made me not want to watch the rest of this video or any other video on this channel
I assume we don’t listen to WHW Monday with Tony and Conrad?
Based
That was the greatest intro ever.
🤘
I gave the video a thumbs down based on how bad that intro was
@Sarkozy a) *English, he's English.
B) how is it "too British" when it's an English channel?😂

Me, embarrassed for all Todd's around the world after reading your comment.
@J P he could of done homemade cold brew or something.
Stop talking like that, what are you like 50?
Did you Todd? Did you really?
@J P he just spat hot coffee calm down, he didn't fly off into space. And he didn't say HOT coffee, just coffee.
Rest in Peace to the first ever nWo member, Scott Hall!
Well Easy E passed away Ice cube does movies... Whoops that's NWA sorry..
Ryan Prior ironically Easy E works for NWO or NWA, and ironically the NWA Easy E was the one had a gun pulled on him by another rapper
Didn't know Easy E was in the National Wrestling Alliance
I loved nwa, my tied favorite group with Btnh.
It honestly makes me really happy to see Scott Hall get himself straight and just Killin life Rn. Love that guy
This aged poorly
@@ButIPoopFromThere not really, it is not like he died 5 months after being sober.
@@marcovanbasten8035 I mean sure if you're stupid that makes sense.
How about nWo Japan? The Great Muta also got a few matches in WCW.
It’s so sad how every time you watch any kind of old school wrestling, half the guys are dead.

So sad about him passing, I miss that guy.
Wow, a lot of them died in their early 40s
Drug abuse and steroids can do a number on your heart etc.. and as we age our bodies can’t take abuse as it once might of been able to. Kinda sad.
Too many early deaths, most in their 40s. It's a damn shame, guys.
Exactly what I was thinking. There's almost more dead members of nWo than there are alive ones.
I know man. What makes me feel bad is when I was a kid I didn't have any internet and I wasn't subscribed to any wrestling magazines or anything like that.

You play, you pay.
Lol only the one who used to be in WWE survived after their 40’s lol
The best matches of Randy Savage's long and glorious career were in his feud with Diamond Dallas Page? That's a bold claim.
ArcaneAzmadi Yea that was a stretch
Wwf Savage was way better dude
Yea. Hell, I liked his feud with George “The Animal” Steele better and that guy just basically ate turnbuckles.
This is why you're better than any other wrestling TH-cam channel.
ORIGINAL CONCEPTS.
Scott hall rocks that denim
Scott Hall could rock crocs and they'd be more over than Roman
I bet it would look crap in HD
It was the early/mid 90's. I was 12 when that episode aired and even I was rocking a denim jacket lol
I want Scott Hall to rock me
@Beatrice Karau yeah, his life was a mess lol.
RIP Scott Hall. Forever The Bad Guy. ❤
If Stiener got as mad as he did on WCW I wouldn't want to tell him my food order was wrong.
Well, you have a 33 1/3 percent chance of not getting punched in the face.

Don't forget WWE NWO HBK, and Booker T
He only looked at the members of the original group that existed from summer 1996 to spring 1998
Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed how many he missed... I totally forgot bout great Muta lol
And that pretty much sums up why WCW fell apart in the early 2000s
Bret Hart was never in NWO Hollywood. He only worked with them. Almost like DDP working with Wolfpac. Hart wasn't an NWO member until he, Jarrett and The Outsiders reformed the group in late 1999.
I liked when Brutus was The Disciple.....he seemed to be indestructible until The Ultimate Warrior took control over him in his feud with Hogan
I have seen "Where are they now" videos from other channels, never would have thought Cultaholic would dip into these
Well done though, I want more. Keep 'em coming!
Gonna have to agree with everybody that this was the greatest intro ever. Make this a series with this opening please!
Can they update this? RIP Big Scott Hall ❤🙏

OMG that intro got an automatic subscribe from me! Thank you sir for the best intro of all time!
I had no idea where that intro was going, but it ended up being the best thing I've ever seen
For some reason, Scott Steiner getting a bunch of "industry friends" to rock up to his restaurant/franchise opening amuses the heck out of me.
Damn, so many wrestler died so young.
Mate, that was an awesome intro!!! Well done :)
I never knew how much I needed this intro in my life!
Lol hopefully Big Papa Pump isn't the one working the books for his restaurant lol Steiner-mathmatics
Do every nwo members ranked from worst to best please 🥺
16 minutes? I'm amazed you can even list them all in 16 minutes.
Wonderful article. But also a stark reminder of how tragic the life of a wrestler can be.
it's almost as if wrestling had a prescription drug problem...
Oh yea, because prescription narcotics abuse are relegated only to the wrestling industry...
America has a prescription drug problem.
@@de132 the whole world pretty much has one
My earliest WCW memory is Scott Norton coming out and destroying two jobbers on WCW Saturday Night
Do an episode about Das Wunderkind Alex Wright!!! He basically fell off the face of the earth after WCW was bought out!!!!!
@@Poohdaddymagic he was one of the biggest stars in the company
Biggest stars lmao maybe in Germany
Scott Steiner franchising anything made my day... that's awesome and terrifying at the same time lol
Scott Steiner looking like Colonel Sanders in his suit at the end of the video is a little disturbing...
That Intro.
I'm actually impressed
Great video, but unless I misunderstood the qualifications for the given timeline, it's missing Knobbs, Sags, Muta, and Tenzan.
The intro alone deserves a like.
The NWO and WCW was one of the most memorable, wild, and fun times to be a wrestling fan.
You could switch the channels between WWF and WCW, I swear there were like 4 different shows through the week, it was awesome lol.
Best time in wrestling. I switched channels and taped WWE,since Nitro started first. WCW was awesome then and the NWO was totally mind blowing. Scott Hall is my favorite wrestler. Great times!
This intro might be the greatest thing I've ever heard. Put it in the Hall of Fame
I met and hung out with Virgil some years back when he was doing a comic con in Detroit. Although he was super cool to me and sat there just telling me stories you were spot on about him being pushy about selling his autograph. Is watch him take kids last dollar with no shame
Why was Virgil being pushy about selling his autograph
Well Pacitti thanks for ruining We didn't start the fire for me lol.
All these guys should be in the WWE Hall of Fame
I like how you mentioned just about all the guys kids, but neglected to mention a certain Joseph Hennig.
I'm Actually listening to this in the car I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard at the beginning

This may have been mentioned on this video or a previous one but does anyone else just watch these videos for the intro song?
These guys didnt do any research on Vincent/Virgil, missed out a time after the nWo collapsed where he tried to come back as a singles competitor under another name (not Vincent or Virgil, forget what it was)
This is a great video, but it's also a sobering monument to the way wrestling breaks people and how the 90s were the height of the addiction era.
That may be the greatest intro on all of TH-cam EVER!
How about a what DID they 5 years ago for this years wrestlemania participants? (Maybe somewhat closer to actual WM and also when we know more about the card)
Actually some of us do know wrestling existed before the WWF and outside of the WWF! He was always Scott Hall to some of us.
Scott Hall should have been a World Champion hands down in WCW and WWE for sure to bad it never happened
Dennis Rodman is the complete package: From basketball player to drag queen to wrestler to diplomat.
That was the best intro I’ve ever seen in my life
Bro your introduction is 🔥
Epic parody of the iconic Billy Joel hit! Well done my man!
Lmao that song reminds me of the office
Ryan started the fire
Lol same
....thats the joke.

Come on now!! What about Bret heart, Jeff Jarrett, Harris brothers, Stevie Ray, lex Luger, sting, Booker T, hbk?
Do Nova, Reno, and Shane Douglas please. 👍🏾
... And Erik Watts.

That intro is fucking gold
So funny, I remember Virgil at a convention in Pittsburgh, and me being a kid, thought he was rediculously rude, and didnt care about an autograph anymore after.
LMFAO that intro is amazing. good work, mates
How about those shoes you stole? Never trust a Yelnats.
I so read the title wrong I thought when I first clicked that he was ranking the members of the NWO
That’s where I heard the intro before! It’s We didn’t start the fire by Billy Joel! Man that was killing me!
Love hearing the difference in accents. "Maecho man," vs "mawcho man"
This new featurette from you guys is pretty good.
Also....Pacitti's voice is that of Celine Dion.
You should do a segment of past present superstars that worked for backstage security.
That intro being similar to the old school pokemon end song is great.
that intro cured my depression
I cant believe We Didn't Start the Fire song came out in 89 that song sounds straight out of 75 like Springsteen would sing Born to run right after it lol. As for this video im not sure if i missed something but didn't David Flair join the NWO at SuperBrawl IX?
I actually would love to know about a lot of the names in the intro song. What's Mantaur up to these days?
That has got to be the catchiest theme song for a TH-cam video that I've ever heard.
What about stevie ray?
Completely unexpected intro... amazing
Ah regular legs. I do love your commitment to bits, what a fucking intro
I only came for that intro 😂

Ironically I met Virgil at a car show in Pittsburgh of all places. I got his autograph in a cool picture LOL
Ryan started the Fire!!! (The Office)
Geeeez do we really needed the intro. Chances are someone that clicks on this vid knows who the NWO are - PS I don’t mean the song which was great
you got a like for the opening, before I even saw the actual video
You forgot Kyle Petty, the guy who drove the nWo race car in NASCAR
What about Luger, Sting, Stevie Ray, Bret Hart, Jeff Jarret?
They are talking about before nWo 2000 because they were after 1998 the og nWo.
"The manager from kientai" broke me that. Bravo sir. Bravo.
That rap left The Logan brothers quaking.. Paciti vs Paul 2020
