Ricky Steamboat Martial Arts Training (With Ninjas)…

Posted in Wrestling with tags , , , on June 2, 2008 by eljmayes

To get Steamboat over to the audience the WWF decided to tape him beating up a load of ninjas, but they clearly forgot that he was more of a wrestler than a karate master. The martial arts blows look woeful in this, even though your friend and mine, “Mean” Gene Okerlund tries to shill them as hard as he can;). Pure gold:).

Wargames- The Match Beyond…

Posted in Wrestling with tags , , , , , , , , , , on May 29, 2008 by eljmayes


As the WWE is doing a PPV (Pay Per View) of all gimmick matches this Sunday, I thought that it fitting post the best example of a gimmick match- Wargames. Which basically is a two ring, five-a-side cage brawl where the only way to win is via submission. It was held exclusively in WCW in one way or another from 1987 to 2000.

This video is from the Wrestlewar 1992 PPV that featured the Wargames as the main event. It’s one of my favourite matches of all time, but does contain a lot of blood and loads of predetermined violence so viewer discretion is advised;).
