www.youtube.com/watch?v=khgTtYhysJcOn the newest episode of "Wrestling With Wregret", Brian looks at one of the stupidest things to come out of the Attitude Era...the one, the only...The Brawl for All!

Since the Cornette impression Brian's uploads have become appointment viewing for me.
I loved this - but then the Brawl For All is so incredibly stupid that I can't get enough of hearing about it from any source.

Ugh "Brawl For All", while it was stupid on screen what was even dumber was kids at school emulating it (Well my school anyway).

I can't believe anyone thought this was a good idea sober. This is the definition of working yourself into a shoot(BROTHERJACKDUDES). But y'know Russo, bro.

I kind of like the Brawl for All theme.
Any time I've tried to watch one of the matches from the Brawl for All, I've lost interest pretty quickly.

Looking back on it now, knowing what I know about it from a backstage and booking standpoint, yeah, it was a dumb idea. But back when it was airing and I was watching it, I thought it was kind of cool. I wish Blackman and Severn had stayed in there. It would have been interesting to see how they would have fared. I think Severn would have won the whole thing, but I seriously think Blackman would have given him a run for has money had they faced off.

It's one of the better part of Hardcore Holly's autobiography. (Which is a great book)
Also, I enjoy this video.

Seeing Bradshaw get wrecked was the highlight. Overall though, pretty dumb idea. Keep the wrestlers in their world and the boxers in theirs.

I actually found the clumsy and chaotic boxing rather entertaining. Brawl for all gets too much grief these days.

This guy is pretty good at analyzing these things. Surprised I never found him on youtube before now.
Oh and I agree with his thoughts. Though I did find the clumsy arm flaying funny when I was younger.

I bring this up every time this topic arises, but I adore seeing people stupidly go for knockouts while Blackman, who actually read the rules, does takedown after takedown and wins while boring the hell out of the crowd.

If anyone ever says the WWE needs to incorporate more MMA into professional wrestling, I say yeah....like Brawl for All.
I used to always turn to Nitro when a Brawl for All match would go down. Always seem to remember a Bobby Duncam Jr. match happening when I would turn on TNT.

Zane as Cornette's son needs to be canon in kayfabe.

It shows how dumb they all were. The 'tough' guys tried to go for knockouts to prove how badass they were. The ACTUAL tough guy, Blackman, tries to win.

I still don't get how they thought Austin vs Steve Williams was a good idea

Ironically I could imagine a modern Brawl For All going over quite well considering how popular MMA is right now.

Yep, the only two things I liked about this was 1- the theme and 2- JBL getting the shit knocked out of him.
