The Dingo Warrior cuts a promo on Rick Rude

Before there was the Ultimate Warrior, there was the Dingo Warrior.

Which was the Ultimate Warrior, minus all the parts that made the character interesting or exciting.

EXCEPT for the wacky soundbites.

Here, Mr Warrior informs Mr Rude that he is going to remove his arms then use Mr Rude's own arms to induce vomiting from Mr Rude, culminating in Mr Rude being forced to write "Dingo" in his own sputum some 500 times.


As we say in our little corner of the world, "Crikey".

Big Boss Man vs Jim McPhearson

From Superstars of Wrestling, 1989.

The Bossman was just a classic bad guy. He was at his best in short matches, but had some longer ones of note against Hogan and Mr Perfect.

But to me, he was made for these short TV matches.

Hacksaw Duggan and Harley Race brawl at the 37th Annual Slammy Awards

The culmination of brawls in history up to that point, and the inspiration of all that followed.

Race even uses a live chicken as a weapon!

Boy Tony

I have no words to describe this.

The Dragon Master debuts

Starts off okay with the low-budget horror type promo video and music, but then there is talking.

Uninteresting talking.

Then the Dragon Master emerges from his shipping crate.

To a thunderous round of indifference.

Classic WCW: THAT'S THE WALL!

Ah WCW.

The place where they accentuated the negative and eliminated the positive.

Listen to how excited the commentators are about a man on top of a building.

"He must be 15 stories high!"


Yes, men are able to ascend tall building by using the stairs or elevators installed inside the buildings.

The early days of Hulk Hogan

Here, Terry 'the Hulk' Boulder takes on a very non-threatening prospect in the form of the masked "Outlaw"



And here we have Sterling Golden going up against the ever-present Chick Donovan, although I don't remember Chick not having dyed-blonde hair.
