6:51 Wrestlers beating up a fan is an amazing visual to go along with talking about WCW losing popularity.

No gonna lie how the apron title belts never became merchandise is beyond me

this restaurant was part of my childhood. I was lucky enough to be able to go there once. i wish i could remember more, but i forgot a lot of it as i was still very young.

I forgot about this. Thank you for filling this (and Hulk Hogan’s terrible restaurant) black hole in my memory.

The Nitro opened up the day after Owen Hart passed.

While the WWF was mourning Owens death….WCW was Opening a restaurant

Kinda wonder what a WWF Attitude Grill would look like if WWF kept the location and changed the WCW theme to WWF theming?

[TheDeathofRetailPrice]

WCW did everything to promote their brand, except wrestling.

02:52 - "at the height of Hogan's popularity! 🤣🤣🤣

This was literally the lowest of Hogan's popularity. Post WWF run and Pre NWO.

WCW didn't own the Nitro Grill or put any money into it, they just licensed out names and trade mark to be used

Imagine having a wCw themed restaurant! With non stop wCw action! I would only eat there!!! Just wrestling, no politics, no religion other woke stuff. Just wrestling, friends, burgers and a beer with a Sting Burger!

So 1995 wasn't nearly the height of Hogan's fame. If anything, he was on the decline at that point.

Shit like this is why you don’t make a star wars space ship hotel lol. Or when guitar hero attempted the rock band system. All my favorite franchises destroy themselves.

Well the WWE restaurant/nightclub the world was slightly more successful but ended up being bought by hard rock cafe.
