Heenan’s ability on the mic was incredible, as was his ability to completely inhabit his character. That photo was devastating and I refuse to remember him like that, as we all should.

Unrecognizable! Horrible illness!

Shows how great Jericho is that he was on the first episode of both Thunder, Smackdown and freaking Dynamite 20 years later!

The sheer cruelty of an amazing speaker and wordsmith like Bobby Heenan getting throat cancer and losing the ability to talk is just heartwrenching.

It’s been hard living without this theme song for the past few months.

I see Virgil once a year at flea markets selling memorabilia and autographed pics. One time I was wearing a walking boot recovering from a broken foot and as I passed his booth he stopped me and we had a chat about a time he had to have ankle surgery and Vince wouldn’t pay for it and it cost over $100;000 dollars. I didn’t buy anything from him that day or any other day we crossed paths but it was nice of Virgil to share a story from his past for free lol.

Miss Elizabeth is buried in the same cemetery as my aunt and grandmother. I always say "thank you Liz" when I walk past her headstone.

Love how they just tiptoed around Hogan's part, like "nope, this has been beaten to death already"

I always felt like Tenay was underrated

It's incredible how many stars are on this card, you could make an entire wrestling roster using only those who were on this first Thunder.

You know a lot of the WCCW stars from Texas went on to become a bigger names in WCW and WWE? Chris Adams, Scott Hall, The Harlem Heat, Stunning Steve "blondie" Austin, The Dingo Warrior aka Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, Ted Debiasi (when the Crockett regional gang team up to fight Vince), MickFoley, Terry Taylor, The Undertaker and others. Meng's uncles wrestled for WCW.

Me and my friends loved Scott Norton always said he was the strongest guy in wcw

I'm from Georgia and I love both wrestling and college football and I didn't realize Tony Schivone was the commentator until I got the network and heard him react and connected the dots. Tbf I hadn't watched WCW in close to 15 years when I rewatched it but yeah I was really stoked to figure that one out.

The dog faced gremlin is still one of the coolest and funniest nicknames for any wrestler ever

For the "every wrestler in the 'what happened to that wrestler intro" video can it just be an hours long stream where Adam needs to sing the song till each wrestler is mentioned. And then he sings the song again, 12 days of Christmas style.

So "The Diamond Stud" and "Big Bubba Rodgers" are just former WWE guys. Revisionist history is amazing.

You forgot to mention Virgil's appearances on AEW as "Soul Train Jones" for Chris Jericho's brilliant vignettes. Edit: Unless the Olive Garden thing was a reference to his promo in AEW. In that case, well played. Well played indeed. Additional edit: Or maybe that Game Vault thing, which was a reference to the AEW promo. That would be Inception-level referencing.

The intro song is still the best song of the decade even tho it came out in 2019

Man I had no idea Bobby the brain had it so rough at the end.. that picture made me gasp

Still can’t believe they cancelled The Big Show Show.

Did Adam ignore Savage's TNA run by accident or to avoid mentioning it xD

One of the most iconic theme tunes of any KZread series

Chris Adams was huge is north Texas during my childhood working middle school and high school gyms. Loved that guy.

A year before Lee Marshall passed. He actually followed me on Twitter.

I needed this today

Is this a reupload as I am damn sure I have watched this video before

I enjoy this series thank you guys!

Further update on Steve McMichael: he has been diagnosed with ALS.

Seeing this on a Monday instead of Sunday is a surprise (a nice one but a surprise nonetheless)

I didnt know at the time that it was kind of a joke, but I saw Virgil at a local mall about 8 yrs ago sitting at a table selling autographed pictures for $20 a piece. I was down FOR IT.

Not to be the old man of wrestling, but if you don’t know Gentleman Chris Adams…good luck on your upcoming driver’s license test

I’m just here for the theme.

That fucking song at the beginning makes we want to drill my eardrums out. Other than that, great vid

3:00 behind Marshall is a diagram relating to that bloody awful Hogan "levels of hell" match. I forget the PPV.

We all came here for the intro song. No use denying it anymore.
