Just finished watching Heroes of Wrestling. Great production quality for the worst wrestling show of all time.

You wanna play Blackjack? I've got two of those, too. You wanna play Aces and Eights? I got too many of those, too. DDT! DDT! DDT!

Was the event live or pretaped? I think it was live because if it was pretaped they would've edited out Jake's antics.

Was the event live or pretaped? Pretty sure that it was live. I “watched” it in the old scramble vision, somehow that made Jake’s shenanigans even more surreal.

Was a fun ppv if you were there live. How was the ending perceived? If I remember correctly Neidhart shoot pinned Jake and Yokozuna slammed a bald guy. The crowd seemed to go home happy. My Grannie enjoyed it. Was the last show she got to goto. I wish it would get a DVD release or ssomething better than the ancient VHS recordings from PPV that are floating around. Opening tag was decent. Valentine vs Steele got a decent nostalgia pop but was what you would expect from both guys at a old age. Scorpio vs Julio was fun. Nice way to change the pace from the slow,plodding previous match. Bushwackers vs Sheik and Volkoff was crap. But the crowd popped for it. Tully vs Stan Lane was damn good and match of the night. Was nice to see Tully again live. OMG vs Abudullah was crap. Abby did his usually nothing. But OMG tried to have a good match with Abby.Crowd loved both guys. Snuka vs Bob Orton Jr,mehhhhh Even just 10 years earlier this would have been a fun match. By 99 they were both broken down. Main Event tag is what it is. Crowd was at first puzzled by Jake then you could kinda see people figuring out "oh yea Jake is messed up on something." For me it is a night I got to spent with the woman that got me into watching wrestling,and took me to my first show when I was under a year old. She had fun seeing lots of the guys she watched years ago on TV. And I got to goto my second PPV on the MS gulf coast. Beach Blast 93 being the first one I was at.

Yeah watching it today the crowd loved it for the most part. It's a shame what Jake did. I wonder if they would've done more nostalgia shows if that didn't happen.

I doubt they sold enough tickets to cover the costs for there to be another show. No clue what ticket prices started at. But by an hour before the show started you could get them CHEAP.

I'm never really comfortable with mocking this part of the show. Jake's issues are so well known, we're just pointing and laughing at a broken man. When there is so much else mockworthy on the show, it feels callous to me. This is the forum that has that stupid ugliest wrestlers thread 🤷‍♂️

I hadnt seen those other comments, but yes you're right in those cases.

Any promoter with a shred of decency would have seen the state Jake was in and gotten him some transportation home.

Wrestling With Wregret did a good piece on the PPV in 2016, plus host Brian Zane co-hosted the video with Adam Blampied back when he was still in WhatCulture. Can't post the video outright cause they used WWE and Championship Wrestling from Florida in it but I still enjoyed it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyxb87bddp4

Justin Credible, Sabu, Rock and Roll Express, Greg Valentine, Jimmy Valiant, Low Ki, Heidenreich, Jamie Dundee, Rikishi... I dunno. Valentine is a pretty hot commodity in backyard feds. Can they afford him? How could we forget Wrestling Superstar Virgil?

That actually WASN'T a bad line/promo
"You wanna play 21, I got a 22 (Caliber)
You wanna play blackjack (criminal weapon), I got one of those too!"
Dude was just incredibly sloshed while trying to deliver them bars
