Warrior beating Hogan. My cousin was a Hogan fan. I was the Warrior fan. I ran around the house like a nut after that match.

Not really a classic moment, but Warrior's return a few years ago was pretty cool when he wrestled HHH. HHH put him in the pedigree, and couldn't even get his hands to connect b/c Warrior's shoulders were so huge. Warrior kicked out, gorilla pressed him, jumped on him. Match over.

Well, I thought I was the only one who noticed that the way I did. I found a link. A WWF expert, and WWF's Edge speak about the Owen and Bret match at WM10. Now I think I am a great analyst. It's the truth; I did not see the link before. Here it is:

Ok, one of my most memorable matches. And it is not one that any of you ever saw. It had to do with a 45 year old man from my old gym. His name was Danny. He wrestled as The Punisher in Fort Valley, GA. A local wrestling program that is famous for sheltering has been stars like Jake the Snake, Koko B Ware, Big Bossman when they were in between federations or drying out, or washed up or whatever.

Anyway, the current darling of Fort Valley was the quarter back at the local community college. He was suppose to be the next Heismen Trophy Winner, (yet didn't come within sniffing distance), so....... anyway The Punisher (Danny) was in the ring one night, the kid was sitting in the first row (he wasn't a wrestler --- yet.) And Danny decided to have some fun. He kicked the kids popcorn bucket and shoved him. As with the nature of wrestling, that became an "incident" with the kid wanting to wrestle during his break from football season. Ok, so anyway, he gets a little training and the promoter thinks that if he lets the kid win Danny's belt, it will increase the ticket purchase each Friday night. Now keep in mind, that I have never been to a wrestling match before. Danny kept trying to give away tickets in the gym to his friends. So one night, we all decided to go. It was the night that the promoter told Danny that he was going to lose his belt to this kid. This was out of the blue, Danny didn't have a clue to what was going to happen. The kid only had one match previously. And it was against a nobody. Danny was MAD!! He was livid, the promoter then told Danny if he didn't do it, he would be fired. Since Danny made most of his money renting himself as a punching bag out to WWF or WCW when they came to nearby terrorities, he didn't want that to happen. WWF or WCW will not use you unless you are affiliated with some other company.

So...... 7 of us show up and Danny tells us what happens. Oh well we say and sit down. But Danny decides that if the kid wants the belt, he is going to put some lumps on him. The kid only had 8 weeks left before football practice started again.

So.... the matches start and the main event is Danny and this kid. Danny comes out as The Punisher - mask and all.....

(now let me tell you this was taking place in a VFW bingo hall and it was smokey, loud, rednecks around. I kid you not. Really trashy place.)

We are yelling "Go Danny, Go Danny, Go get him....." We are in third row (there were only about 5 rows on each side of the ring total) And these people ahead of us are turning around and saying... "his name is Punisher and he is going to lose. You need to shut the hell up." Me and two others stand up and go 'What did you say?" And the guys talking shit look at us and change his mind, saying " I said you all look like you need to be in there."

So Danny is just flat out whipping this boys ass. The promoter told him he had to lose, but he didn't say how. Danny is landing tight closed fists to this kids head - for real. The kid is yelping and trying to get out of the ring.... Danny follows him and knocks the hell out of him with a chair. Danny puts an utter hellacious beat down on this kid that has him looking like a car wreck. His chest is bleeding and the skin is peeling from Danny's chops. Anyway, comes time to lose, the kid can't support himself to stand up. So Danny picks the kid up like a bodyslam and starts twitching his leg like his knee is giving out. He falls and lets the kid land on top, The referee counts to three and the kid still doesn't move. Danny rolls him off himself and then launches a post match attack. After ward, the kid can not stand up or walk.


So for the next 4 weeks, the kid only did interviews. His next match was a tag team match and he never got in the ring. He was still black and blue from Danny's assaults. Now when he was doing interviews, although it was not called for, Danny would still bust out and attack him. This kid was totally horrified at Danny. His very last match before football season had him losing to Danny so Danny could get his belt back. The kid never showed up for his last match. Danny had completely brainwashed him with violence.

it was the most relentless beating I ever saw. If anyone ever did me that way, I would come back with a gun. And then beating him horribly that night was not enough, Danny had to continue his assualt each week as the kid was giving an interview. Man, it was funny as hell at times.

Great story!!

Man, you should have seen it in person. Danny just cold cut beat this dude's ass. If this was on the street, it was be aggravated assualt.

I will tell you how bad of a beating this kid got. Back when the WWF and WCW feed jobbers (i.e. Rocky King, George South, Denny Brown, etc..) to their top stars like Nikita Koloff, Ric Flair, Goldberg, etc... the jobbers ALWAYS got in a hit or a kick at times. Nikita would always shrug off a hit or something. But the point is, that the jobber always got a hit or kick in.

Not in this case. Danny was 150% offense. He beat this kid so badly, that when he would throw him into the ropes, it wasn't even a throw. More like a shove, the kid couldn't run the ropes. When he hit the ropes, you would have sworn that some stole the ring ropes and replaced them with 2x4's. Meaning that he would hit the ropes and collasped face first down instead of bouncing off them.

Danny was sadistic to him. Danny picked him up and delivered a running powerslam (aka The British Bulldog and JYD) and the poor boy just folded up on the mat. Danny covered him, 1-2 got up and walked off. Taunted the crowd, came back and laid down on him again. 1-2, Danny got up and stretched and yawned. Taunted the crowd, laid back down on him again, 1-2 pulled him up by his hair. Then Danny goes over, runs to the ropes and comes back, jumps in the air, and lands with his boot on the boy's fingers. Man, he was brutal.

The promoter kept trying to keep Danny from attacking the kid during his interviews and Danny would play it off saying "awwww.. it makes it look realistic. You know I am just playing." Thing is, he was NOT playing. He was seriously putting the hurt on that kid. And he and the promoter both knew Danny was full of shit and just saying that. So the promoter would go out of his way to stop the attacks by Danny. But Danny was innovative. He would jump out of the audience. Finally the promoter scheduled the kid to appear in the ring with several other wrestlers for his "victory celebration." However, it was just an excuse to give the kid some exposure while having people there to keep Danny from attacking him. But Danny was too smart. Before the event was even under way, while they were still selling tickets at the box office, Danny had the girl to page the kid, tell him to come to the box office to meet someone. Which was not unusual, because sometimes the wrestlers had friends who stopped by at the last minute looking for free tickets. The kid shows up and Danny jumps him right there in the ticket booth.

The only other match the kid wrestled was in a tag team match. And he wrestled Danny and his partner. The kid never got in the ring. Danny would get in, wrestle the other tag opponent and then launch himself over at the kid with an elbow or something. Eventually to save the kid, his partner let Danny's partner pin him and end the match. The kid ran back to the dressing room.

Great story Double A!!!
It was back in 84, and I was at the Cincinnati Gardens watching the NWA. It was a great card. Midnight Express Vs. The Road Warriors, Magnum T.A. Vs. Nikita Koloff in a 4 corner chain match, but the main event was Ricky Morton Vs. Ric Flair for the NWA Championship. This might have been one of the most brutal matches I have ever witnessed. The match was a total shoot, from beginning to end. Ricky Morton already had a broken nose and major scrapes and burns to his face thanks to The Horsemen. The match was an absolute bloodbath. Their were fans three rows deep with blood on them. Both Morton and Flairs chest were blistered and bleeding from the chops they were giving each other. Then Morton took Flair outside the ring and rubbed his face in the concrete floor until blood just gushed from Flairs face and forehead. You could hardly see eithers face due to the crimson masks of blood both men were wearing. Flair ended up putting Morton in the figure 4 and retaining the title. Rumor had it, that both men had to spend the night in Cincinnatis Good Samaritan Hospital. It was incredible.

see, in reality flair would have killed him in 10 seconds. Ricky Morton!?!?!? He shouldn't be in the same ring as flair! or in the same arena! or in the same state!

Another memorable match was a Mexican Death Match with me(Freak Daddy)and Nature Boy Vs. El Dandy and LaParka. The match started with Nature Boy and El Dandy squaring off. The action started fast and furious with Nature Boy finally getting El Dandy in our corner, and throwing down a half dozen burrito chops to the chest. These chops sounded like mexican M-80s . Now that the ref finally pulled Nature Boy out of the corner, I proceeded to choke El Dandy and shove a bag of nachos with jalepenos down his throat. As El Dandy comes out of the corner screaming agua,agua, and that's when Nature Boy landed a devastating flying enchilada. As El Dandy lies motionless on the mat, Natch tags me in. I decide to climb to the top turnbuckle and deliver the twisting, spinning quarter salsa buster. I could have went for the 1,2,3 right there but I did'nt. I decided to go for the devastating Hogan leg drop...BAD MOVE. El Dandy somehow, amazingly got out of the way of the most pathetic move in wrestling. I would'nt have tried it but Big Brother Val was in thje first row screaming at me to do it. Plus he paid me 500 dollars to try to execute the dumbass move.

Back to the match. By now La Parka was tagged in and was stomping the mexican buffett I had for lunch out of me. Then for some odd reason La Parka decided to perfom his little dance which gave me plenty of time to tag in The Nature Boy. Now Natch whips La Parka into the ropes and delivers an immaculate super taco kick. Now with La Parka in the center of the ring Natch decides to unmask La Parka. It took a little effort but Natch succeeded. With disbelief in our eyes La Parka was unveiled to be Anal Assplorer. With Anal Assplorer trying to hide his face, Nature Boy applies the figure four and A.A. taps out. As Natch and Freaks hands were being raised in victory they were violently attacked by El Dandy. The attack did'nt last long as we proceeded to tie El Dandy in the top two ropes and punish him with no mercy. As Nature Boy laid in those devastating burrito chops, I decided to shave El Dandy's head. This caused a riot, for the simple fact that El Dandy's popularity is so overwhelming in Mexico. We barely escaped with our lives, but we did leave Mexico victorious.
