The Brawl for All episode is tonight. Looks like Cornette and Russo are both in it. Hope they don’t ruin this one like they did the Montreal Screwjob episode.

Actually that one would’ve been bad even if they weren’t in it

Both trying to take credit for it when all the actually people involved have constantly said the only ones who knew were Vince, Brisco, Hebner, HBK, and HHH. Bonus from that episode, Scott Hall still thinking it was a work lol. |

Hall saying Shawn told him it was a work was the only new or interesting thing in that episode.

Brawl for All was better than the Montreal Screwjob one IMO. While it had a bunch of Corny/Russo nonsense, it at least had the fresh element of Bart Gunn's perspective, which I found to be EASILY the most interesting part. He came across as a humble (relatively) dude who understood his own circumstances. Plus, Droz was a breath of fresh air. And Godfather was fun, too.
The main problem with the story is that it really isn't all that intriguing. We all knew it was a dumb idea, and it played out as such. Not much else to it. But I appreciated the narrative, minus the Corny/Russo stuff -- which was pointless. |

Vince Russo came off so badly during that it was nearly unwatchable.
It was great to see Bart Gunn and Droz at least. |

He looked like such a moron. You can definitely see why Cornette hates him.

Also, JBL has commented on it before. He said his idea was for what would become the hardcore division, but Russo took that and came up with Brawl for All. That it did nobody any good and was dumb. JBL also admitted nobody knew how good of punches Bart Gunn had, and had no embarrassment that he got his ass kicked. |

Also, how the fuck is Vince Russo STILL getting work for doing a good job at something 22 years ago. It's insanity.

Some would argue he didn’t do all that good of a job in the first place as his approach was undeniably unsustainable.

What I don't get is the "nice guy" stuff about Russo. Dude is clearly a piece of shit, lol.

Just finished the Brawl For All episode.Thankfully a little lighter than New Jack and Benoit episodes - but still good.
Russo is as Russo as ever. I wonder if this was a few years later if Brock would have easily won. Do you guys think Brock would have demolished Butterbean if they squared up, I have to think he would have. |

Butterbean would have killed Brock under those rules.

Was the WM15 match under Boxing rules or Brawl for all rules?

I thought it was a “Brawl For All” match but Gunn tried to box (rather than use a takedown) which didn’t go very well for him.

Boxing, that's why Bart boxed him.
That wasn't really made clear in the episode, they made it seem like Bart went out and boxed him because he was told to rather than because those were the rules. Bart Gunn having a win over Cabbage Correira was an interesting point. I mean if it was an MMA match Bart Gunn probably would kill Butterbean. Butterbean's MMA record, much like his boxing one is highly questionable even in a kind light. Freak show events. |

Hold on, it does say on the WM15 wiki that it was a Brawl For All match...
That doesn't make sense though because the BFA was over by then and the match was presented as a boxing match with a boxer as the ref and everything. This event doesn't stand up to scrutiny! |

In this moment, I am convinced that Bart Gunn would have destroyed Butterbean in an mma/brawl for all style match.
Oh God, I didn't think the BFA could be any more of a travesty but knowing that Bart Gunn could actually have beaten the Bean is too much for me to cope with. |

Just finished watching the Brawl for All episode and came away with thinking the whole thing was even dumber than I previously felt.
Not even the brackets had any real thought put into it to ensure the whole thing wouldn't quickly fall apart the moment something went wrong. |

To be fair, I don't remember Bart Gunn going for takedowns in any of the BFA matches. I am guessing he went into the right with what brought him. Problem was he ran into a bull of a pro puncher who outweighed him by over 100 pounds, and knocked him silly.

Bart Gunn successfully executed takedowns in the BFA.
I'm sure he had a takedown on Dr Death. |
