Loss Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 Let's get this decade started! Perhaps the best/worst wrestling music video ever, featuring stars from the CWA and clips of matches from Europe. Owen Hart, Akira Nogami, PN News and others make appearances. We also get clips of Vader vs Otto Wanz at the end. There is some cool wrestling in this video, actually. But yeah, this is pro wrestling. I wish I hadn't watched this so many times on YouTube, so it felt a little fresher. Someone more knowledgeable than me should name all the wrestlers in this. Quote
FLIK Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Someone more knowledgeable than me should name all the wrestlers in this Most are lost on me but among the few that are easily identifiyable that you didn't mention, Giant Haystaks, Finlay & Steve Wright are all over this thing. Quote
PeteF3 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Someone more knowledgeable than me should name all the wrestlers in this Most are lost on me but among the few that are easily identifiyable that you didn't mention, Giant Haystaks, Finlay & Steve Wright are all over this thing. God only knows who the car-riding/hitchhiking chicks are. The first singing face we see is that of Colonel Brody, the guy Ed Wiskowski nicked the DeBeers gimmick from. I don't know the gangster-looking guys with him or the vaguely Asian bald man (who isn't PN News, who comes later). Tony St. Clair is seen prominently. Isn't the hairy guy in the centurion outfit Salvatore Bellomo? The guy in the multicolored tights doing all the kip-ups out of an armbar is Steven Wright, though I don't know if he was doing any of the lip-syncing. I think one of the guys in the white doing all the snap mare/reversals is Mile Zrno, but I couldn't make out his opponent. I hope this song as well as "Young, Strong, & Healthy" show up as menu music. Quote
Loss Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Posted October 30, 2012 Where is Finlay? I didn't recognize him at all, and kept looking for him. Quote
PeteF3 Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Finlay's in the big crowd shot, I think somewhere in the right-middle. Quote
FLIK Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah, with out going back to re-watch the clip, he's in the group of guys walking through the street singing and in the studio group shots as well. Quote
ohtani's jacket Posted October 30, 2012 Report Posted October 30, 2012 Finlay is in the first crowd shot of them walking in the street next to the Dutch Mantell looking guy. I saw Klaus Kauroff, Franz Schuhmann, Mile Zrno and Dave Taylor. Quote
benj Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 I had never seen this before and it was fucking great. At first I only recognized Col. Brody from Will's Regal comp, and then OWEN HART! of all people hits the screen. We get some PN News, random cars picking up hookers/valets, Vader, and a dude who looks like John Candy. Win. Quote
soup23 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 What a way to kick it off. Probably one of the cheesiest things I have ever seen. I recognized Owen and Finlay but whiffed on PN News. Oh well, got a bad feeling this will be watched about 50 more times whenever I need a pick me up. Quote
Kevin Ridge Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 First time seeing it and really enjoyed it. Love me some wrestling music videos. Didn't recognize that many guys but was nice to see Owen in there. Thought one of the females in video was Tawny Kitaen. The wide shot of all the guys singing was great. Quote
Cox Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Well, now that was something. Hard not to enjoy some wrestling cheese, and glad to see that wrestling can be cheesy and weird in Europe. Quote
pantherwagner Posted November 3, 2012 Report Posted November 3, 2012 Main singing shot bottom row, left to right: Takashi Iizuka, Rambo, Owen Hart, Franz Schummann, Mile Zrno, Sal Bellomo Top Row: Tony St Clair, Col Brody, Dave Taylor, not sure who's the guy behind Dave, Not sure who's the shorter guy, Klaus Kauroff (background waving a cape), Otto Wanz, can't see the face of the smaller guy next, Cannonball Grizzly/PN News, Steve Wright, referee (don't know who) Quote
JerryvonKramer Posted November 8, 2012 Report Posted November 8, 2012 My, my music hits me so hard, makes me say oh my lord! MC Hammer on the menu is a nice touch. My god this was an unexpected start. Utterly bizarre. Quote
jasch Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Unintentional cheese is sorely missing from today's Pro Grapz. I loved this. Quote
Zenjo Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I'd never seen this before picking up the yearbook, and about 15 times since. Awesome late 80's music and really catchy song. The video was fantastic as well. It was worth getting the comp before the wrestling had even begun. I still can't figure out what the 2nd line of the chorus is, or parts of the 2nd verse. Anyone got the lyrics? Quote
Johnny Sorrow Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I'm so glad I just got stoned before I watched this. Will, this should be the opening tune for each PWO Radio Show. Quote
stunning_grover Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 This was an awesomely cheesy video by Otto Wanz’ Austrian/German Catch Wrestling Association promotion. Cool to see Owen Hart in there. What a great way to start off the set. I ended up watching this video clip a few times in a row and I seemed to love it more and more with each viewing. Quote
Rock_Of_Jericho Posted April 10, 2013 Report Posted April 10, 2013 Started my set yesterday after it arrived and this was the first item for viewing. I just sat there for a second after it was over and was speechless. Cheesy, over-the-top, and strange, to say the least, but it was definitely memorable. I'm just glad none of these guys quit their day jobs... Quote
Laney Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 This was my first time seeing this music video, and man was it cheesy. The song was horrible, but catchy. There was actually some very good looking wrestling clips in this video and Owen was a nice surprise. Quote
ajtroma Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 I have never once seen any of that CWA (read about it for years) and this was quite the introduction. The gal looking lustfully in the camera at the end was humorous. Could have sworn that I saw a quick shot of girls in cages, Scorpions-style, so I guess thats a German music video motif. Quote
Bix Posted July 14, 2013 Report Posted July 14, 2013 The best part is how into it Akira Nogami is. He looks like he's having the time of his life. Quote
bradhindsight Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 I'm all for videos like this - and the old Super Bowl Shuffle ones, but man they really needed to go THAT many verses? It was turning into the Never Ending Song there. Everyone was having an awesome time though. Awesome to see Owen in there. He was an easy one to pick out for sure. Quote
garretta Posted November 26, 2014 Report Posted November 26, 2014 That was certainly different. The only one I recognized for sure was Owen. Interesting that the song was in English; I thought that Wanz's CWA was based in Germany or Austria. Quote
Stiva Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Hell of a way to start. Everyone involved getting so into this is what makes it entertaining. Finlay, in particular, is having the time of his life in that crowd shot. Quote
