Wrestlemania IX documentary dropping on Peacock 4/11 (Trailer)

[Wacky D]

Even if you wanna pretend wcw was some equal player on par with WWF in 93… which it was NOT… lex luger did not hace world wide name recognition

Lol. I stopped right there. I'm not reading all that mark chit.

People who hated wrestling, already knew who lex luger was before he signed with the WWF.

 

[Wacky D]

I started watching a little bit and there's some dope footage they showing but I busted out laughing when they was talkin like Vegas needed WWE to give them some life Some of these narratives bout to be

The part where they claimed that they put the mania matches on the betting line and had to remove it because too many people were placing bets.

In the middle of final four weekend (featuring the fab five at their peak and 3 blue blood schools), they're trying to tell us that wrestlemania received twice as many bets as the entire sports world combined. Lol

i didnt remember hogan actually wrestled before the main event and the black eye

 

[Tres Leches]

hogan was the first ever WM cash in not seth

No shyt. We are speaking in forum speak hyoerbole here bro not absolute facts. Im sure plenty of hardcore wrestling fans shyt they pants

But in 93 wwf was a casual fan show and noone gave a fukk irl for most part. No noise.


Lex was an unproven commodity and didnt mean he couod hold up company and he didnt in end so what we talkin about. Homie said he headlined wcw for years. That dont mean shyt to wwf. All of them guys were headliners.

Lex lugar was NOT the names ive been saying. Hes not a wm name thats special in 1993 to wwf fans. Him being there is REGULAR wrestler shyt. Guys come up from there all the time. Flair was just there when he came in and flair was the bigger name with the belt. And even flair was shown as noone really special on wwf tv and wasnt even close hulk randy macho level which is what wm and wwf is built on.

Luger didnt sell no tickets to wm9 aka noone knows him.

Macho. Warrior. Slaughter. Andre. Jake. Hulk. EVERYONE KNOWS. Luger. No.

Yall getting offended bevause wcw wrestlers dont have wwf world appeal. Lex luger headlining wcw means fukk all to wm and wwf tv.

Now the lex who slammed yoko people know. Total repackage from here. Why? Because it didn't work. . But noone i knew was like “yo thats lex luger” when we watched wm9 aka casual fan.



I mean look ar what your sayihg

WBF? Wwf magazine… mark shyt. Wbf failed at that with him in front. The fan base that watched wwf and was aimed to in 93 (casuals and kids) didnt know or care about the NARCISSIST lol

Slaughter being a specific example is funny, since 2 years earlier when he came back and won the title, it drew so poorly they had to completely change venues for WM.

The reason a lot of WCW guys didn't do well in WWE was because of Vince's inability to use people without putting his stamp on them. From that period it's pretty much just Flair and the Steiners and that's because Vince left them as is.

This is all true. Vince and creative had a hard on for tampering established talents outside wwf with stupid gimmicks

 

[patscorpio]

Doink Crush was an underrated match. And I'm being serious

Matt Borne as Doink was gold...all the good matches wrestling wise was because of him...its a shame he was a POS

 

[Rayzah]

We know why Mr perfect didn’t know what was going on in the match. He been in Vegas all week with both types of “white girls”

 

[L68]

Worth watching or is it a typical wwe generic watered down documentary ?

 

[Paper Boi]

anything hoegan says i believe the opposite

i havent watched this in 20 years at least. the savage commentary is next level

Knowing lex luger in 93 = mark shyt 101
Stanning lex lugers status in 93 in 2025 = super mark shyt

Aka bounce cuz you realized you stanned lex fukking luger lmao.

Sgt slaughter was the face of gi joe and headlined all iver the country where luger struggled in atlanta/carolina and was never even CLOSE to being THE GUY in wcw.


He didnt even GET to main event wrestlemania. Because the fans picked BRET. He was DONE in 6 months they were already tired of him. Meanwhile bret was on like year 8-9. He was a total after thought at wm10. Angle went nowhere and he just got pushed into tags with bulldog.


What you thought horsemen luger was gon set wwf on fire. Lmao. You musta had a mullet in 93 to say tht.

Actung like lex luger was world changing talent who was gon fill that void over any if them is insanity.guy was never known to be a great worker OR talker who was gonna be THE guy. Get real. Ya crying about vince when he is a steriotypical vince product. Body who cant work for shyt nor talk. Vince literally made him his name and gave him his biggest moment. Still didnt move the needle.

“vince tinkered too much. Horseman luger would have been big”. Gtfoh lmao!

Warrior >> lex luger

Even with the belt and a big return to wcw he wasnt top guy material. Hes upper midcard guy. Had hogan not left he woulda been narcissist his whole run.
