Wrestling Bios Presents - Brawl For All: The Real WWF Tournament

When many think of World Wrestling Entertainment or American professional wrestling as a whole, the general public's first thoughts are that wrestling is scripted and pre-determined, and they aren't wrong. Wrestling has rose in popularity despite not being legitimate and fans of pro wrestling have always understood that their favourite encounters in the ring are planned well ahead of schedule. But what if the WWE allowed their wrestlers to have real showdowns in the ring? That is excactly what the Brawl For All tournament was, a chance for professional wrestlers that worked for the WWF to compete in real and legit encounters.

This video takes an in-depth look at the Brawl for All tournament held on WWE Raw back in 1998. From competitors like Dan Severn and Steve Williams being hot favourites to win the whole thing, to the underdog Bart Gunn rising up to surprise everyone. Topics covered include:
