How to explain the brawl for all: Lets say you had a competition at your job whos the best basketball player? You win. And as a reward, you have to play lebron one on one. And if you lose, you're fired.. thats literally what this shlt was. They did Bart 1000% wrong and it's bs.

They were treated as being far more important than the way WWE treats their tag team titles).

Plus they practically left money on the table with a Dr. Death/Bart Gunn feud. And if things didn't work for either of them as Singles they could have had Doc do a "Miracle Violence Connection 2" and have Bart Gunn and Doc gain each other over the course of their feud [have them go 50/50 like they did in All Japan] and decide to team up. Which would have worked well with JR doing his Anti-Vince angle. And have them steamroll through until they got to the Outlaws. Which would have been great because you have Kayfabe Brother vs Brother and the ultimate style[outlaws] vs substance [Bart and Doc] matchup. Shame All Japan pretty much did all of that [Doc made him an honorary Varsity Club member [when he was teaming with Mike Rotunda]and had him team with him in 6 man tags] and he also in Bart's corner in matches as well.

If I remember correctly Mero's opponent just kept taking him down because they weren't pure boxing matches despite wearing boxing gloves. They would allow a take down and just get them back up.

The Brawl for All was meant to be modeled after MMA and Toughman Contests that were gaining popularity at the time. But when seeing Steve Blackman's martial arts skills and realizing he could literally cripple any of his competition in a shoot fight, WWE restricted the rules so only punching and takedowns were allowed. Because of this, Blackman winded up exploiting the takedown rules so he could get the leg up on Mero. If not for an injury Steve got while training for his next round match, he likely had a good shot at winning the entire Brawl for All tournament.

Bart was never gonna be a big star, but he was a decent mid card guy who didn’t deserve to get knocked out by Butterbean who I don’t blame at all. He and Bart did their jobs they were hired to do, but it sucks that their fight was to punish Bart.

JR helped Bart get bookings in All Japan and Doc protected Bart when he became the Gaijin booker when he returned to All Japan[Bart only lost to the top guys [aka Mutoh, Tenryu,etc. And if he lost in tag matches his partner was usually pinned] so if Bart had heat with them it was very short lived. This was Vince, Pritchard and Patterson [because Pritchard and Patterson laughed at the idea of him Ko'ing Doc]

This is where I will never be able to understand Vince, he was hoping Dr death would win and he lost so Vince decides to let him go but punishes bart for beating Dr death 🤔

When Mark Henry talked to Vince about joining the worlds strongest man competition, Vince’s response was “you can do it, but if you don’t win you’re out of a job. I can’t promote the world’s second strongest man.” It’s crazy how he gave Mark Henry the option but here they literally brought one of the best heavyweights at the time and forced Bart to fight him.

The plan was Dr. Death was going to get a huge push for winning Brawl for All and feud with Steve Austin over the belt. Everyone was so confident he would win. But its really stupid that they didnt fix the fights to begin with. So Bart gets blamed because he ruined their plans? Why wasnt he told to lose?

All of this because JBL couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Who gave him a better fight Bart Gunn or Johny Knoxville?

see this shit is way worse on Vinces head than his lawyer/hooker scandal. With the lawyer woman, she knew what she was doing and was happy until vince stopped paying, which made him look like a demon, but this shit is insane. Bart put his life literally on the line for WWF, and that was the payback he got.

Oh it's gone down in history but not the way Butterbean thinks.

I love Jim Ross one of my favorite commentators really But he will sit there and tell you til his face turn blue Butterbean wasn’t punishment they just brought him in to get Bart over 💀

Oh no, I disagree, brawl for all was a terrible idea. All it did was get people hurt and it ruined the mystique as supposed tough guys got laid out, brawl for all basically broadcast "Wrestling is fake" quite loudly. It also wrecked the plans for a Stone Cold - Dr Death feud, because when a low mid card wrestler, who can actually handle himself in a scrap, knocks out the threat to the WWF champion it kind of negates that angle for sure. Not to mention it ended Bart Gunn and Dr Death's WWF careers.

It was an interesting idea on paper. They could’ve had them wear headgear or at least protected them in some way. This is one of those funny stories where the Vince McMahon filter goes out the window for Russo. Vince McMahon allowed this to take up the entire show and he didn’t think to put any safety precautions in place ? I feel like a lot of the times Vince McMahon gets away with stuff because of the impact he’s had on the industry. The execution of this idea was terrible. They should’ve just made it like a shoot work. But I’ve always said it is Vince. McMahon thought that people were in danger. It would’ve been gone the next night on raw.

0:40 he had to face Steve Blackman, someone who knew multiple martial arts and was good at them. Heck I think he was paid to get off the Tournament, not sure how real that is.

Steve blackman respected mark hands so he decided to take him down the whole time😂

He looks and sounds like Kevin Owens' dad

What they did to bart really It infuriates me, they ruined a mans career out of spite.

They changed the rules just to watch Bart get destroyed 😅

Bean looks really slim here.

This guy was a champion in tough man contests but he wasn't ever a real contender in boxing. You can't name one good professional boxer he beat. Which is very similar to Jake Paul.

Wait i thought butter bean died a long time ago

former UFC Champion Francis Ngannou considered the most destructive pure puncher in UFC has lost both his boxing matches. That's why you shouldn't compete in even related sports without the required skills and experience. With MMA gloves and Bart Gunn going for takedowns instead of boxing, the result could have been different.

Gotta give bart credit he held his own in the brawl

The only reason Bart got punished for this was not only that he won, but with him winning, he screwed up their plans for Dr. Death Steve Williams winning the whole thing and then having a feud with Stone Cold. Blame Russo all you want, but Bart’s career was ruined because of pettiness and bitterness. That’s all and nothing more.

Problem is, bringing in Bean to beat up Bart doesnt just make Bart look stupid but all the guys Bart beat at Brawl 4 All look stupid.

Brawl for all wasn't a brilliant idea 🤦🏾 Bean had a point about mero but they encouraged takedowns but had massive gloves on. As Cornette said Russo had been convincing people for months that everything was fake and just storyline and everything was a swerve, then comes up with the brawl for all where everyone thinks it's a work but they were legit fighting and racking up injuries, madness. Bean was right though, Bart Gunn made the mistake of trying to box him, which was only going to go one way as bean was a boxer and Gunn had been training for a few months

I was shocked Marc Mero didn’t win the thing too

Lost all respect for Chris when he said Brawl was a good idea

If Bart would of wrestled and brawled he would of beat butterbean. They told Bart to box him LOL and gave him lessons. Worked him like he was stupid and it worked.
