Tank Abbott’s WCW years in Part 2 of our exclusive interview on the
MMA History Podcast. From negotiating with Eric Bischoff over Vince McMahon, training at the Power Plant under legends like Paul Orndorff and Dusty Rhodes, to wild angles like the jacket-on-a-pole brawl with Big Al (yes, that knife moment at SuperBrawl 2000), Tank spills the unfiltered truth on backstage politics, his near-title run, and clashes with icons like Goldberg and Sid Vicious.
Fact: Tank debuted in WCW on December 13, 1999, as a legit UFC heavyweight (with wins over Yoji Anjo and Hugo Duarte) brought in to feud with Goldberg, but navigated a rollercoaster of mutinies and mishaps until his 2000 release.

There’s a rumor that Tank was drunk during the Rizzo fight. I was hoping he’d say…oh well.
he was drunk or didnt get to train or had a bad knee in every fight that mcartney didnt cheat him and he lost
bless his heart

I can’t imagine this slam made it any easier on him.
Everybody watching it with me thought he died… it looked like his spirit left him
He made more in WCW then he ever did in the UFC…. UFC has been shitty since day 1
