So Vince Russo saying how no American likes the Japanese or Hispanic wrestler yet shinsuke and Eddie were 2 of the most over guys in wrestling history
ikr, Vince russo is such an asshole
Itz Sombra it was just an observation especially fan perspective the tides have certainly changed since you're talking about something that happened 20 years after he said this? Don't be a reactionary...
Eexpers yea but Eddie was huge and so was Rey at the time so?
Itz Sombra when you can only name one or two guys its call an anomaly
Itz Sombra shinsuke is over with all 2000 fans wwe has at their live events. Wow
that couldn't have been a direct quote from Vince Russo. he didn't use the word "bro" once.
Or "okay."
5 years later, Eddie Guerrero is a legend
Well if he did it's another reason to hate him with a passion.
@@RevolvingRevolver88 Also Rey Mysterio becomes a World Heavyweight Champion.
Future episodes should be...
*The death of Miss Elizabeth
*The network pulling Muhammad Hassan
*The Droz injury
*The curse of the Von Erichs
*The birth of the NWO
*Vince buys WCW
*Randy Savage and a young Stephanie McMahon
*Hazing and bullying in the locker room
*Paige's sex tape and pictures
*CM Punk walked out on WWE
*Gino Hernandez crazy lifestyle/murdered?
*The Rockers paralyzing Chuck Austin
*David Schultz assaulting John Stossel during interview
Rhett DeGarmo "The men that Missy Hyatt did" oh God, do you really think fans will get through a 10 episode series with each episode spanning for about an hour long?
Rhett DeGarmo Brian Pillmans gun incident would make a great video
wow those are good topics
Yes he should definitly do stephanie and macho man affair
This are some good ideas
i love watching behind the titantron
AWESOME VIDEOS Me too
AWESOME VIDEOS It's my favorite
I love old school wrestling, especially stories.
200th like
Given the success of people such as The Great Muta, Alberto El Patron and Shinsuke Nakamura, among others, Vince Russo didn't know what the hell he was talking about.
Isn't Alberto El Patron Actually Alberto Del Rio
Alberto El Patron> Alberto Del Rio
Future Gohan yes but he goes by the former most often.
SUCCESS OF SHINSUKE? Aaaahahahahahahahahah
I guess Shinsuke's NXT run doesn't count?
Jeez and after weeks of reading NXT > AEW
"America is like your uncle that paid for your college but molested you" LMAO hahahhaha
DLO BROWN yeah, I couldn't help chuckling at that one.
DLO BROWN 💯💯😂😂😂😂
OK people calm your skin down Chris rock said it
+Ryan rogerson Obama isn't black he's mixed race
+Ryan rogerson and no he didn't say no one would vote for a black president he made two separate jokes and your misquoting him
if it's WCW related...should it be "Behind the Turnertron"?
Kade Kek
Haha this comment deserves a lot more likes than it got.
Cracking bit of punage :)
I was laughing when I read what you had about Vince Russo's interview. If Japanese and Mexican wrestlers cannot get over? How would he explain Shinsuke Nakamura and Eddie Guerrero?
"I don't want to sound like a big bigot or a racist or anything like that, but I'm an American...." - Vince Russo
Vince Russo is an overrated fucktard italian
Vince Russo is italian-american. He has italian descent I think.
"You will never ever, ever, ever, ever see the Japanese wrestler or the Mexican wrestler over in American mainstream wrestling"
Uhm, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka (among others) may want a word with you, Vinnie...
Kofi kingston
In my day we loved the asians too.
Mysterio and Guerrero were American, mate. California born and raised.
One of the best wrestling TH-camrs
*the best
Diogo Ferreira *the besterest
I dont wnglish
*english yes I corrected myself
The egg Agreed 👍👍
There's a Big E quote that has always stuck with me "they'll let use climb the mountain with them but they won't let us reach the top"
Except Big E was given the belt and flopped hard. And made a fortune doing so. So oppressed.
@@WilliamRFC91 Black people these days are too busy victimizing themselves, so they can't enjoy even the mildest of success.
im just going to say it. wcw is a very deep south wrestling company. im not surprised
So what's WWE excuse
And here I thought the only racial issue in WCW was when Booker T dropped the N bomb on Hogan. Thanks for enlightening me, Wrestlelamia.
Harlem Heat 9 time WCW tag team champions. What bunch of racist bastards WCW was.
Cato Patton just enough to keep them outta the heat. I also love how they gave booker t the belt when wcw was already on life support.
+Cato Patton just stop so because there's individual exceptions that means there's no racism within the company or others weren't treated differently and just because your successful it doesn't mean you didn't suffer mistreatment smh
Any story about racism makes liberals wet
I think he is.
Of course wrestling has some racism attached to it. When was the last time an African American held the WWF/E title and don't say The Rock because he's more in touch with his Samoan heritage then his African American side.
Cal Turn he’s not even Samoan though.
WWE tries to label The Rock as a Samoan once he turned face during The Attitude Era and left The Nation of Domination
But now look at how WWE treats its Asian talents Shinsuke Nakamura, Asuka, and Tozawa before he asked for his release
Kofi won it
@@pxrplefn9307 that's only recently with kofi being a world champion.
It took a while, but we got Kofi.
Ultimo Dragon was the shit. I remember when he had like 15-20 championship belts at one time.
Mexicans fired for "no reason". LMAO. That whole cruiserweight thing got old after a year and yet it was on TV for what, 4 years. That's why they got fired, it sucked. Konnan wasn't picked up by WWE, why, cause he sucked too not because he was Mexican.
@369somedude So were Eddy and Benoit in the cruiserweight division after a year like I stated? You forgot Jericho too genius. You even said, "all went on to be world champions in WWE", is that the cruiser weight division. After a YEAR or so the CRUISER WEIGHT DIVISION got old, that's all.
Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Misterio, Dean Malenko, Ultimo Dragon, Chris Jericho, Juventud Guerrera, Billy Kidman etc...
So that's where Hogan learned to talk that way lol
The J-Crown. Eddie Guerrero did too. And you can see how WCW shit on them both.
Now i know why people hate Vince Rousso so much
He made a good point though.
No because a lot of people defend Vic McMahon and that dude ooze racism
People hate Vince Russo for a million different reasons, this is just another reason to add it to the list!
Actually...this was the first time i have found myself agreeing with him
Jim Cornette can think of a million others more than him being a racist phony lol.
WrestleMania has not had a black headliner since II with Mr. T. * Lawrence Taylor.
This is unbelievable and I thought the WWF Steroid controversy was bad but this definitely surpasses it
Ofcourse it does because "RaYciSM!!!!" All you snowflakes care about...
You do realize that the Harlem Heat angle was an idea of Booker T and Stevie Rat's don't you?
Yeah because the _original_ gimmick was that they were supposed to be a pair of wrestling slaves won in a card game by manager Col. Rob Parker…
No American wants to see Japanese wrestler? Then how tf is Shinsuke Nakamura the most over guy on the roster right now
Darth not to mention guys like tana naito and okada in njpw
Vince Russo is just like Vince McMahon, an old, washed up, out of touch old buzzard with an antiquated mindset
@@mikecee6085 Fuck PC hope it dies.
And Tajiri held numerous titles and had merch. And if Vince were racist then wouldn’t he not hire him or other none white wrestlers?
@@pimperish666 *(Hypothetically)* He wouldn't be blatantly obvious with racism, hes not an idiot... He would hire them just to make it look like hes not racist, but behind closed doors would be a different story
Damn! I'm NOT even a wrestling fan and I LOVE your videos. The intro is AWESOME.
Do one about racism in WWE.
No
That’s why when Ron Simmons won the belt, all the “face” wrestlers came out to congratulate him, like he won the lottery!
I’ve always said that their needs to be a “Dark Side Of The Ring” episode on racism in the business…
I'm surprised their isn't . Everything is about race nowadays .
@@cherylstamp434 it’s too taboo of a subject, including in wrestling. I also think it’ll hurt many “icons” of the game if their racist crap is exposed (e.g. Ric Flair)
Russo: 'The Japanese wrestler and the Mexican wrestler will never ever ever ever get over.'
You're right Russo, I can't remember the last time I ever heard a huge crowd pop for Nakamura or Mysterio
When Russo said he's not a bigot or racist but he didn't want to see a Mexican or Japanese wrestler get over, but he wanted an American, that's already bigoted prejudice. But since his ideology of an "American" is white, then it just proves he's racist, even if it's compartmentalized
I know I'm late but I've been binge watching these all day, and I love them!! Great uploads!!
GREAT VID. WHO ELSE IS A WRESTLING FAN & DIDNT KNOW ABOUT THIS ?
Me
Rishi Rich Me. I was too enamored of a fan to notice lol
I knew it. I noticed it when they had 3 hispanic. Wrestling come out as gardeners.
I did.
This series is fantastic, congratulations on the great job, very different from your/everyone else's wrestling content on TH-cam, ground breaking for a TH-cam wrestling channel. I hope you channel continues to grow.
These videos are very well done. Ive been a subscriber since near the beginning and hopefully I'll be here when this channel gets the following I feel it deserves. Most of these stories I have already heard but the way you produce it makes me anxious to hear it again. Thanks for the content. While all other wrestling related videos on TH-cam keep getting worse, yours keep getting better. Roll Tide
the sad case of Andrew Martin TEST (RIP) and his career being buried by triple h
And Triple H Got His Comeuppance In The Form Of Undertaker 3 Times
TEST was killed by hhh and Vince
Vince Russo eats his words for Eddie and for Nakamura
This is probably the best wrestling series on TH-cam. Can't wait for the next episode
"No one in America cares about Mexican and Japanese wrestlers. They want the American to win." -Vince Russo
Yeah Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and Shinsuke Nakamura would have to disagree there.
As well as *BOOKER T*
Shinsuke Nakamura and Rey Mysterio say hi Russo.
Mysterio is American though.
asuka, io shirai, kairi same too
These are some of the best videos on wrestling on TH-cam. It's not just sensationalism or "smart marking", or whatever. These are researched well and it shows.
Edit: I do find great irony in a company that called weapons "international objects" as to not be "un-PC" to call them foreign objects, got sued for racist tactics.
Russo: No American will want to see a Mexican on top.
*Always Sunny cue card*
Rey Mysterio Main Events WWE.
Rey Mysterio was WWE's token luchador. Eddie was the Latin King.
Eddie was motherfuckin' LATINO HEAT!
I'm American and I'm white. We fucking love Rey. Actually we would trade Brittney Spears for any one single luchador but prefer Rey.
Man this channel goes so in depth on wrestling. I love this guy.
One of the best TH-cam wrestling channels out there! Great job guys!
Best series on TH-cam hands down, keep making these great videos. And as said in the comment before there are a ton of controversies that you can cover.
VERY GOOD WORK! and you went really in depth on this and i can't wait for part 2
Love this series! You got your man Grapplevision to thank for putting me on to you. Keep it up, WL!!
The part about why WWE couldn't be sued...kinda makes you look at that concussion lawsuit differently?
Loveeeeeee these behind the titantrons!!! Excellent job man 👍💪💯👏
great video. can't wait for #2 and many more to come. some great ideas in previous comments. as always awesome channel. keep it up.
first time seeing these just watched them all back to back great work keep it and keep them coming
This series is awesome. Never change a thing man.
who else thinks Vince Russo is racist
Devan Decapua Of course, but he doesn't think so in that teeny-tiny brain of this.
Awwww look at the special snowflakes so Offended, that's just Priceless!
He's more of an uneducated idiot who think he knows everything about Pro Wrestling.
you say snowflakes, but i bet your the one who's offended when we go after trump, and you can't bullshit me that that new york guinea russo isn't racist, all that bullshit from 1999-2001 in WCW was all his god damn new york bullshit attitude
Delvin Walton *Calm
Hardbody Harris wouldn't be the best character witness to have at a trial
I’m not as big of a wrestling fan as I once was upper management don’t like my kind around there and the fan (not all but enough) are the same and a lot of the legends i was fans of are of that ilk too I give up
The tales of Haku is something I'd like to see next
its sad that as a child in the mid to late 90s I was such a big fan of wrestling (mainly wcw) and years later I find out about this type of crap.
kinda like finding out Santa isn't real huh? lol
SONOFPEARL315 Santa isn't real?
MY PARENTS LIED TO ME!?
+SONOFPEARL315 loll exactly
Harambe shot First lmao...
What, that a bunch of failed wrestlers and a loser manager were trying a money grab from a poorly run organization that was about ready to be flushed down the toilet? Yeah I agree. Well, at least Konnan gave it another shot at suing TNA.
With Russo's quote, we now have Shinsuke Nakamura
Clearly they did not prepare for Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio- who are both Mexican, or Shinske Nakamura, who is Japanese.
Ironically WCW did have a black world champion in Ron Simmons. WWF would turn him into the racial stereotype of Fauruq where he remained a mid-card
Your doing excellent work, my man, Keep it up!
It's like the 90's were a 1000 years ago.
Outstanding series. Great work
I like how Russo pretty much spelled it out. "Wrestling fans are Racists, so we write for Racists.:" LoL.
and that DEFINITELY was the case, until around the time the Attitude Era happened, then all this started being looked into, and we got people getting pushes, like Eddie, or Shinsuke.
why I'm I not surprised about Russo's comments
important topic you talk about. Well done. I like the Music in the background.
Interesting Behind the titantron this week once again Wrestlelamia does not disappoint!
I love behind the titantron it definitely gives me an in depth analysis on what really goes on behind the scenes in wrestling
I Love these! Wrestlelamia gets all the facts and does hard work to get 'em. He's the man
Love your work and this series
when a wrestler came out with his gimmick as the Final Solution- that's all you need to know
Great episodes, keep up the great work
Make one about the departure of CM Punk
CM Drunk*
patrick ray you have no brain cells.
Joey Merchant you are the reason why Humanity is failing.
Joey Merchant and btw? Hold this L, you Loser xD.
Already did, and it's one of the best ones.
Behind the titantron my favourite series on youtube😍😍
Jim Cornette named him right when he dubbed Vince Russo Shitstain.
Hey Russo....
Asuka, Io Shirai, Kairi Sane, Shinsuke Nakamura, Andrade Cien Almas, Pentagon Jr., Fenix...and many many more
wow this is very eye opening
Sonny Oono is aware that Jimmy Hart wasn't just an onscreen manager character, right? He wrote all their knock-off entrance themes.
love the behind the titantron videos
Why do people thumbs down these videos? I enjoy all these videos. I look forward to the Behind the Titantron series.
Chris Martin
they were butthurt WCW marks
I love these vids keep it up
"There's 3 Mexican wrestlers...just give them 15 hoods and people will think they are a large roster." -Forgot who said that
I can't wait for part 2
Godfather and crime time were lit tho
With Russo’s logic not only should we not like Mexican or Japanese wrestlers, we should also not like wrestlers like Edge or Bret Hart simply because they are Canadian and not American. Ridiculous
That Chinese menu made me laugh, I'm not going to lie.
It wasn't racist. Just juvenile.
love these videos can't wait until next weeks episode how can i help with this work
Love these!
Behind the Titantron needs to be longer 30 mins oh yea, an hour Ohh Hell Yeah!!!
Hardbody Harrison is like that uncle who kidnapped you and sold you on the black market.
Idk bout most of you. But as a Hispanic, I enjoyed the lawn mower gimmick.
PT the Mexicools were awesome
That's because of who was in that team.
I enjoyed the workers but not the gimmick.
Was an awesome gimmick
Thanks for listening to the fans comments too do this vid keep up the good work
Keep up the videos. These are excellent.
In 5:36, in 1991 alone...334 wrestlers worked for WCW...
That fucking music in the intro terrifies me all the time
Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn....Nice overview man...
Damn you, cliffhanger!
Decided to sub this channel, love behind the titantron 😊 & i reckon the narrator would be dead sound ^_^
That’s why they make Booker T champion at the end.
LOVE these...
There was a tag team in WCW called the Southern Boys who dawned the Confederate Flag and their attire resembled that of a Confederate Soldier.
Bro this channel is awesome
One of these should be made on the Devon Nicholson vs. Abdullah the Butcher lawsuit.
Might I suggest a video on the WWF WWE name change. I think that'd make great channel content. Keep up the good vids.
