@Jonathan Esser Yeah. But there was still something different about him. There was a real menace to him. But he was an IRL idiot and IIRC tried to physically fight Vince over a contract dispute. He was never going to be more than an upper-midcarder, but still what a freaking dumb move. He could have at least had a solid career. Maybe in the Attitude Era they could have went even darker with the character like the did with Boss Man himself.

That Nailz beating was so amazing though, because it left the crowd in stunned silence. You didn't see that kind of brutality on WWE TV often back then. They laid that in so stiff and Boss Man was just so damn good selling it that it was legitimately hard to watch. Because Boss Man was kind of marketed as a big friendly teddy bear by then to everyone but 'heels', and it looked like he got beaten half to death.

The Savage v Roberts snake bite really had me way back then. I thought it was a work gone wrong and they just ran with it. Watching the Dark Side of the Ring episode about Savage explains how that event was conjured up and shows you how nuts Randy was back then. RIP Macho Man.

WWF had just released a "Posters" magazine, where the whole thing was just 4 folded up double sided posters. There was one that had Undertaker on one side and Warrior on the other. And that Funeral Parlor segment terrified me so much as a kid that I displayed the side with The Undertaker because I was afraid he'd come out of the other side of the poster and kill me if I displayed the Warrior side.

It's funny, in a shoot interview Jake The Snake said that Savage got paranoid that the Cobra was still venomous. So Savage forced Jake The Snake to let the Cobra bite him to make sure it was safe. So out of revenge Jake The Snake said before the match he "paint brushed the hell" out of the cobra to piss off so the cobra would bite Savage hard.

I'm so glad you mentioned the Berserker/Taker moment. That was something that blew my mind as a kid! lol

I remember the nails/bossman angle more than any of the other ones just for how violent it seemed at the time

He should have mentioned how Earthquake ground up Damien's carcass and served Quake Burgers to Vince McMahan, Bobby Heenan and Lord Alfred Hayes on the following WWF Monday Night segment. Quake was the best heel ever!

Screw the PC era, Attitude rocked. Glorious time to be a teen, the late 90s were.

I'm glad you included the Outlaw Ron Bass spurring Brutus Beefcake segment... The big red censored signs really helped sell the brutality of it, and I was a bit traumatized and Brutus was my favourite wrestler at the time. The same segment also lead to huge arguments in school (yes, I'm that old) as to if wrestling was real or not!

Big boss man and Nailz really got to me as a kid. Especially when I got my copy of WWF magazine and saw all those injuries. I was positive wresting was real at that point. Such great stuff though. Not the same anymore

I relate to this video so much!! I was born in 87 so this is exactly what I grew up watching.. I'll never forget that morning when I saw Papa Shango make the Ultimate Warrior throw up.. I sat there thinking, "If Papa Shango can do that to the Ultimate Warrior, imagine what he can do to me?!".. From that day on, anytime my Father got tickets to house shows, I made him check the matches to see if Papa Shango was gonna be there because I was terrified 😂 Also, I remember being scared of Nails too.. When they showed Big Boss Man all beat up, I thought Nails was unstoppable.. I also remember buying Nails' action figure (I have 150 of them) lol.. The Barbershop set with Shawn Michaels is an all time moment.. Crazy they way our mind changes.. Great times, though!

The dedication to kayfabe and the terrifying moments to us as kids is what made the WWF so great! Not everything can be happy and PC.. It's also the reason I was obsessed with Hulk Hogan.. The Ultimate good guy and savior..

Enjoyed the video man

Another honorable mention: Andre the Giant headbutting Hacksaw Jim Duggan several times, making him bleed, then Duggan laying the Giant out with a 2x4.

This video particularly made me feel very nostalgic

Kinda strange in hindsight Brutus Beefcake was planned to challenge for the IC Title at Summerslam in both 1988 and 1990, but got replaced and each time the replacement (Ultimate Warrior and Kerry Von Erich) went on to win the title. Gotta wonder if Brutus was ever scheduled to win the title.

What about Ric Flair and Randy Savage, with the whole “she was mine before she was yours” fight over Ms Elisabeth? After all those snake bites and coffin lock ups, that was the thing that got my mom all pissed off at WWF.

One that got missed that I remember was The Heenan Family Ken Patera with leather belts it was a legit whipping as the show goes off the air they show Patera in the back laying down with welts all over his back.

Being a kid back then was awesome.. It was all believable..

Hey look! Its Cultaholic looking down on the old school, harder core wrestling! Let us hope they get views as they diss on the eras that were just 'to violent and grating', only to grab views as these are the only eras fans really care about it. Keep it up guys!

I already knew that wrestling was all a work at the point thanks to my dad, but I still remember that beating Boss Man got from Nailz on Superstars today, one of the most brutal beatings of all time, work or not....

I remember my mother being concerned after walking in on warrior puking during the shango angle

Nailz and bezerker were two of a few nuts guys on roster then. Nailz spitting and drooling in his interviews when he was talking tough and bezerker use to be called the Viking when he first debut in wwf... Bezerker would always holler out (Husss...Husss.. Husss... 😂😂😅😂😂😂😂.

The most unsettling one to a young me was the beating Ron Bass gave to Beefcake. Even with the big red X over it, you saw him being dragged around by the neck and Bass using something to cut him repeatedly.

Absolutely GLORIOUS times!

Lol kudos to that Bobby Heenan reference in #2

Plot twist, the Cobra was pronounced dead at the scene due to a cocaine overdose!

I remember all this shit. WOW feeling old

OMG! the undertaker vs berserker match! i was there for that! i was only 10

0:58 so true in the western world I guess, same here in Germany - that’s why I watched it secretly cause my mother didn’t allowed it 😂 This video catch the spirit of why we watched WWF as a kid during 80/90s so damn in a nutshell by its 12 minutes more then most of all other videos relating to this area… and we didn’t have internet back then.

My personal favorite era and in my opinion the greatest era ever..

That whole Papa Shango thing - I think you would have been more unlucky eating a tin of Campbells Green Pea Soup when viewing, rather than oatmeal.

Things that made wrestling popular in the Hulkamania era that fell into the PG category were things that had NEVER been done before. Angles, gimmicks, storylines, pyro, etc., introduced to the business all elevated it to new heights. However, it came to an end because there became a limit on the variety of things that could be done FURTHER limited by the PG label. You can't see the same things routinely done over and over again and continue to find drama in it. Wrestling is not like a new movie that just hit the box office. It is sort of like the circus that comes to town once a year only this business is on your TV multiple times a week with the same characters practically. So, in short, the business saw it's best days already.

That Beefcake Ron Bass spurs angle was totally censored on Superstars. They cut to to Sean Mooney(?) in the studio saying WWF won't allow this kind of violence to be seen on TV for our younger viewers an did a hokey job of trying to give a blow by blow of what was happening. They did teh same exact thing when Earthquake squashed Damien.

"Stiffer than Jack on a bus" ... You're Nasty!!

Undertaker wasn't the first that berserker tried to kill with the sword after that on a 1993 episode of superstars berserker faced Mr perfect and whilst outside the ring berserker swung the sword at perfects head only to hit the ring post when he ducked.

The bag with “Damian” in also had a mechanical device inside to give it some movement.

Honorable mentions: André strangling Jim duggan until caughing Blood, roddy Piper destroying the flower shop, Jake the snake getting blinded by rick Martel arrogance, macho Man handeling miss Elizabeth backstage at the main event and sgt slaughter whole 1991 heel run

Crazy how many of these have Jake the Snake . He had the best and most colorful angles and stories.
