The Story of The Radicalz WWF Debut

If you would like to support the channel and my work, please visit Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/wrestling_bios Official Website: https://www.wrestlingbios.com Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/wrestlingbios The Radicalz (consisting of Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Perry Saturn) left WCW in early 2000 to join the WWF. It was seen as a big move even though all four men were considered as mid to upper-midcard superstars during the majority of their World Championship Wrestling careers. Malenko, Saturn, Guerrero, Benoit (and many others) voiced their concerns in WCW in regards to the politics and booking decisions that were hurting their careers. Even though a group of these guys gave in their notice, Chris Benoit was still booked to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at WCW Souled Out 2000. This still wasn't enough to keep Benoit and others from making the jump to the World Wrestling Federation, and the Radicalz debuted in the WWF at the end of January 2000. On the episode of Smackdown following their Raw debut, every member of the Radicalz had a match, and every member lost. This video looks at the Radicalz WWF debut and the story of how they left WCW. We also look at the other members of the WCW roster who were also in contact with WWF during this time period (including Shane Douglas and Konnan). 00:00 - WCW's bad state in late 1999 02:53 - The Revolution in WCW 04:43 - Shane Douglas 09:11 - Benoit & The WCW Title 12:29 - The WWF Debut of The Radicalz 15:44 - The Smackdown Night of Losses 20:11 - Benoit's debut match with Triple H 23:04 - The Radicalz turn heel - Much More! #Wrestling #WWE #Documentary
