I'm not sure of this move's real name, but a clever moniker couldn't have saved it anyway. 9/14, Author Michael James – My main site, devoted to learning how to write. Still with me? However, "The Chief" did venture outside the parameters of the WWWF on occasion, and was (for a time) a high-profile figure on TBS's NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling, the predecessor of WCW Saturday Night. Regardless, none of this is particularly helpful to K.P. With all the punches thrown in a typical WWE match, one has to wonder why this particular punch is so devastating. Hacksuck eventually gets in, the crowd erupts, but this has to be close to the end of the match. Randy Savage's elbow from the top rope would surely put away an opponent. In December 1984, Studd, along with Patera and Heenan, cut Andre’s hair during a tag team match. Kenneth Wayne Patera (born November 6, 1942) is an American retired professional wrestler, Olympic weightlifter, and strongman competitor from the United States. Jesus. After leaving WWE, Minton moved to the Mid-Atlantic region, where he competed as Masked Superstar #2. Butch reed comes in, things happen, Hogan drops the leg and we have our first elimination of the match. Then Ken Patera tags in and the crowd sits back down and goes to the concession for Nacho hats. His first WWWF Tag title came on May 22, 1972 when he teamed with Sonny King to defeat Baron Mikel Scicluna & "King" Curtis Iukea at New York's Madison Square Garden. Macho Man starts the match off against Dibiase in what feels like a bit of a rematch of their final tournament match a few PPVs ago. But there is no way it should have been used as a finisher. Neidhart gets nailed with Tito’s flying forearm. Mick Foley as Mankind once called it an "abortion" of a move. Used by many strongmen, the simple move could legitimately leave someone gasping for air. It belongs more in horseplay than wrestling. Randy Orton's scoop powerslam or Kurt Angle's Angle Slam are delivered with ferocity, while Cena doesn't seem to be slamming his foe as much as he is just letting him fall as gently as possible. One has to think that if he had some inventive, impressive, awe-inspiring finisher that fans might have overlooked his childish magician gimmick. When Bundy needs to wrestle as One Man Gang, he just straps a mowhawk to his head. The crossbody is a gorgeous move, especially when performed by someone with the grace of Steamboat, but it doesn't seem powerful enough to finish off a match. Bam Bam carries the match by himself, just acting as a throw cushion for the beating he’s taking. Elimination 6: Honkey Tonk says “fuck this”. Try watching the video without rolling your eyes. The next part of the match I probably enjoyed more than I should as Hogan took on Boss Man and managed to pull off an Atomic Drop and Body Slam – something you didn’t see too often on Boss Man.

In 2004, on the night before WrestleMania XX, Studd was posthumously inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in the same city where he made WrestleMania history two decades earlier. I just realized the Rude Awakening was essentially the precursor to the RKO. He competed at many World Weightlifting Championships, as well as the Olympics. The running version, especially Warrior's, looks like a playful pounce. By CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: 1989 Royal Rumble Match winner; 2004 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee.
There is one move where both guys do an Irish Whip reversal on each other and it’s just plain sloppy which helps to solidify my point. Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube. Interestingly, he was a last minute fill for an injured B. Brian Blair.
Unfortunately the build up to this isn’t realized yet as Dibiase quickly gets out of there and tags in the Red Rooster. Then what happens next doesn't appear to hurt at all. Without him, we may not have hardcore wrestling. King Haku who obviously beat the crap outta Harley Race and stole his crown faces off against Hogan and to his credit holds his own in there by knocking Hogan down with a nice dropkick.
Hogan starts to hulk up a bit but not enough to actually run wild on him, but enough to get out of the hold. None of us would enjoy getting punched in the chest, but it's not nearly dramatic enough for a finisher. Hogan beats up everyone before being pulled out of the ring by Bundy. A running powerslam or some powerbomb variation would suit The World’s Strongest Man far better. It’s at this point I realized that Dino Bravo and Valentine have barely been in this, nor have the Killer Bees. A man of both character and talent, the Ring Chronicle is proud to induct this important figure from wrestling history into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame. While Mark Henry's finisher has a great name and has the advantage of being delivered at nearly any moment, it suffers from how painless it appears to be.
Boss Man comes in and goes to work on Hogan, manages to get him down on the mat and goes up to the top rope again. The rules are simple, there’s two teams of five superstars that face off against each other (ok, maybe like 4 superstars and a token ‘first to get tossed out filler’). If a participant gets eliminated then another team member gets in the ring until that team is completely eliminated. He is doing a great job carrying the action. View agent, publicist, legal and company contact details on IMDbPro. While Earthquake had the added momentum of running before he squatted on his foe and Yokozuna came crashing from a decent distance, Bastion Booger just plopped down on an unlucky jobber's face from a standing position. vs RAW 2011 SD! Eventually the Hart Foundation are eliminated by a weird move where Niedhart ends up drop kicking a killer B who ends up on top of Bret for the pin. And like all of the greatest champions in pro wrestling, he never allowed his ego to get the best of him. We’re like 10 minutes in with no pin so far. 19. One could argue that the headbutt is a big part of what made Brazil famous, but there's no doubt his other finisher, the piledriver, would have looked better and made sense as a way to end a match. So we are down to just King Haku vs the Mega Powers. I am so glad they get eliminated early.
Elimination 1: Harley Race / Hacksaw Jim Duggan double count out. In a sport where the Last Ride and the Air Bourne exist, a slow, awkward chop to the head just doesn't stack up.
Rude and Orndorff square off for a bit, and Rude nails him with a small package. Beefcake gets rewarded for that victory when the Honky Tonk man nails his Shake Rattle and Roll finisher to even the odds back at 3. Game Rating: 86 HEIGHT: 6'10" WEIGHT: 364 lbs. They display some nice agility and pull off some decent moves while just screaming incoherently the whole time.
Awww… Tito can’t get over the breakup. Thankfully after a nice clothesline from Macho Man he heads over to the corner to tag in Hercules who apparently had some really bad beef with Dibiase at this time. That’s touching. Steve Slagle, Other Works He also competed without the mask during this time as well, using the name Chuck O’Connor. Like in literal seconds by the worst sleeper of all time. Fans prefer impact they can see, not the kind they have to imagine happening under the skin. The crowd applauds, but not standing in their seats applause, more like a yeah this is good but it’s not “Jake the Snake Roberts good” applause. A finisher is a capper to a dramatic battle, something iconic and exciting that makes sense as a final blow in a physical war. Here’s something else – Bundy and One Man Gang are exactly the same size. Turns out his opponent, Albert Torres, died of a ruptured appendix. Danny Davis comes in, another guy I’m stunned got in this many PPVs. During his career he feuded … It looks like wrestling a log. This time, however, the Frenchman was under the tutelage of the hated Heenan, so the fans rallied to Studd’s side. As the masked Executioners, he & Kowalski made a quick impact, winning the World Tag Team Championship that year. Still, it's only a forearm strike, and as a finisher is it underwhelming. His kicks land with all the gentle force of a history major complaining about the job market. When did Paul Orndorff and Moraco become good guys? Anyway, Frenchie misses a move and Ax capitalizes.
Now comes the dark period of this match. CAW Archives 2003 - 2013 . Community Forums Staff Online Users More . Finally Andre comes in, misses a move and the tag is made to Hogan. Rick Rude gets beaten up for awhile and the crowd is on their feet as the intensity and excitement of this match is ramped up to 10+.

Gold and Black with a little heart – I don’t know why but it’s just hideous.
