I hope they cut it off early and issue refunds for the full effect.

Another beauty. Nostalgia-mania is running wild. Lots of warm and fuzzies. The LJN and  Hulk workout set* ads were new to me.

*Steroids not included.

So I went down a bit of an early 90s WCW YouTube hole while off work this week recovering from minor surgery (all good now), here's some of the best things I found:

Suitably 90s Hulkamania UK Tour ad

This created a massive swell of nostalgia in my brain of watching Worldwide on ITV. Especially that weird smoking WCW logo.

This might be the best one though, the Halloween Havoc 90 VHS open, with a weird promo segment from the unlikely duo of Van Hammer and Johnny B Badd. The natural pairing to send for a PR trip to London for WCW. 

More bonkers, they did an advert for WCW. Just shouty, 90s brilliance.

Love it or hate it, Botchamania has hit an amazing 500 episodes. There's some good footage of Taz on Byte This featured that had me going.

Don't know if this has been posted before but I've not seen it - the infamous dark match between The Nasty Boys v Dave Taylor and Drew McIntyre from late 2007.

Another good one from the WWE Vault.  I am assuming this has never been seen before in full.   Just clips.

This vault channel is absolute gold.

Stupid, sexy WWE Vault page.

This fucking WWE Vault page lads. Out of this world, legit outtakes from Heenan & Monsoon of my favourite skit of they did. 'Lost in the Woods.' It's their Waiting for Godot. The only skit they did I genuinely think they could have span a one act play/pilot out of it. 

I'm almost let down when that channel just uploads matches we can watch elsewhere. Give us Jake DDT'ing Hogan, those 1990 Bunkhouse Battle Royals they did on a house show loop, show us that time they had Crush in his Demolition gear one time in 1993 for reasons that were never explained. C'monnnnn!!!

Not quite YouTube, but complete/near-complete video of George Hackenschmidt vs Joe Rogers from the Oxford Theatre in London on 30 January 1908.

For some reason, between the falls you get video of a different match, thought to be Joe Carroll vs. Peter Gotz from February 3rd 1908 at the Alhambra Theatre.

A thing of beauty and a truly unique bump that I have never seen anybody do before or since.

Kudos to Chris Hamrick

This is pretty cool! Nice to see more pre WWF stuff getting preserved.
