It's from the Vault, brilliant footage. Genuine fan who might not know the moves but knows who's good and who's cheating.

For those old enough to remember - or at least culturally-aware - I couldn’t help but think of the Dick Emery character from his sketch show back in the day.

Managed to watch this WCW show. What a fantastic upload. The interviews with the public at the beginning are really nice, the fact it's all raw footage is really good too.

More of this please!

That's Lizzie Birdsworth from Cell Block H, isn't it?

That’s as wonderfully retro as my reference so glad I’m not alone in the old duffers club ???

Finally catching up on the WCW show, agree with everyone it's a cracking upload and a fantastic slice of history.

Also, a fantastic reminder of what an absolute banger this is:

I don't think there's any doubt in my mind that it's the best theme tune ever.

Love to see it.  Only one full match was released from this show before, I believe.

Jericho looks like he hates interacting with fans even more than Taker..

 

 

[The Gaffer]

He looked miserable! 

Big Show always comes off pleasant and natural. Rock knows how to play it too, though having the luxury of the footage showing around the takes shows you even as far back as 2000 he was always deathly serious about the 'entertainment' persona and was dropping terms like 'storylines' left right and centre. 

Jeff Hardy usually seems to come across really nice as well. Even here, being asked questions whilst Francois Petit literally pushes his body back together on the floor.

Taker with the " signing autographs, what does it look like I'm doing"!! Then just signing and tossing the books back to folk, while saying " Yeah, just like catching up with fans, seeing what's happening???. Miserable fucker..... Ohh Jericho also had a face like a blisted piss pot.

I genuinely thought it was Greg Valentine at first. 

[2Xtreme_lives]

With that WM2000 clip, I was thinking this is likely the first time anyone had seen Taker post 99 break looking like ABA taker as that wouldnt be seen until that Summer. I wonder if he was testing the water with how people would react to that too

Talking of banging theme songs, I’d completely forgotten about this - what a tune:

Tyler Breeze was tremendous in NXT, it’s such a shame that he came around during the McMahon era, I reckon he’d be getting the kind of exposure the character merited if he arrived on the scene now.
