Brother Bruti's unmasking reopens an old WCW friendship
Hogan's betrayal clip anchors an archive week spanning a steel cage, BattleBowl's random teams and Goldberg's own trainer.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Brother Bruti betrays The Hulkster!
Hulk Hogan pulls off the mask, recognizes Brother Bruti and spends a long moment staring at someone who was supposed to be on his side. WCW's most watched new upload turns on that recognition, before Kevin Sullivan arrives and the ring becomes a very uncomfortable place for the Hulkster.
"Brother Bruti betrays The Hulkster!" has drawn roughly 330,000 views. This is wrestling's staged treachery, with a particularly familiar face: Bruti is Ed Leslie, also known to longtime viewers as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Beneath the clip, viewers remember Bobby Heenan's commentary, pick out the walking powerslam and reach for Shakespearean betrayal jokes.
The channel posted a dozen uploads, offering more than isolated shocks. Hogan's steel-cage match with Ric Flair puts the championship and their careers into the storyline stakes. Sting meets Sid Vicious at Halloween Havoc 1993, while the complete BattleBowl event draws random tag teams into its Lethal Lottery. A full Nitro episode adds a more personal assignment for Goldberg: facing his trainer, "Sarge" DeWayne Bruce.
The busiest viewing right now belongs to the compilation of Nitro's unforgettable endings, including Goldberg's title win and the Fingerpoke of Doom. The rolling watch party and Bruti's betrayal are also carrying momentum.
WCW added 2,000 subscribers over the week, though today's viewing is well below its usual daily level. Nearby, WWE NXT is enjoying faster-than-usual daily viewing and stronger weekly subscriber growth. WCW's own week offers a different pleasure: enough complete matches and episodes to put those famous shocks back into context.
