The Tiger vs Jerry Adams

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "Dom DeLouise look a like Jerry Adams takes on the mysterious Tiger in 1985."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Mr Adams looks like a guy who drives the school bus, and I bet he had a rough week following this, having all the 'lil bassdards' taunt him for losnig to a man in a leopard print outfit, called "the Tiger", doing a "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka imitation. The Tiger also offers Mr Adams a deep tissue massage at 2:10 which is an unusual way to be cruel to be kind.

Dick Murdoch's ring entrance (sans gruts)

DESCRIPTION FROM YOURS TRULY: "As Dick Murdoch approaches the ring, watch what he does right before he gets into the ring. I've been trying to find out whether or not this was related to some kind of a rib."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: What can you say about Dick Murdoch that he didn't say himself? The man loved to entertain. I need to find footage of the bit he would do where he'd get kicked in the guts, clutch his stomach, wander off to the back, then return several minutes later with toilet paper stuck to his boot.

Don Muraco eating donuts

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "WWF promo from the 80s...Don Muraco and Ken Patera talk about their training regimens...Don Muraco's involves donuts."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Mr Muraco, you are a great man.

Giant Baba vs. Raja Lion

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "1987/6/9日本武道館" (Erm, great)

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Raja Lion I do not know, but he is very, very tall, and resembles one of the bad guys from "Bloodsport" - maybe not the original, but one of the straight-to-video sequels. His move is the kick, although the second time he tries to do the kick, he falls down.

Mulkeymania~! feat. Bill & Randy Mulkey vs The Gladiators

First, a promo from one of the legendary managers, James E. Cornette....



DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "August 8, 1987 from World Championship Wrestling - Jim Cornette and his Midnight Express take the podium to express their contempt for the Mulkey Brothers, who have managed to secure a match for the NWA United States Tag Team Titles. Actually, Cornette does all the talking while Bobby Eaton and Stan Lane stand between him and camera congratulating each other."


And now, one of those very rare moments in the life of "those guys that never win" that people remember for decades afterward:



One day the Creamy Assassin or Perky Birky the Bricklaying Turkey might even win too.

Big John Studd vs Mitch Casey

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "1989. One of Studds last WWF matches."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Mitch Casey may not be preserved in history the way Iron Mike Sharpe, Barry Horowitz, Sandy Beach, et al have been, but this guy showed up on my TV set pretty much every week during my years of watching Superstars of Wrestling. Being a younger fellow, he had a look of hope in his eye before every match, in which he was squashed like a grape. I wonder what ever happened to him?

Masked Superstar vs Chuck Tanner

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "WWF 1983. The Future Demolition Ax takes on Chuck Tanner."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Mr Tanner took a night off his job as a member of an NRBQ cover band to get his rear end handed to him by the Masked Superstar - who was also Bolo Mongol and Demolition Ax, a man who portrayed three cool characters in the squared circle. Tanner even gets the crowd's support for an attempted comeback, such is the awesomeness of Mr Superstar.
