Wrestling Promo of the Day

BrandonDaCollector · by **BrandonDaCollector** » Wed Jun 05, 2024 8:58 am

I see. I thought the Brawl For All was kinda cool but the results were quite surprising and shocking compared to the wrestling matches. Oh that was a wild Sheepherders & Dynamite Kid promo there :shock:

Okay, so after Dr. Death Steve Williams recovered from all of that...he returned as a mysterious masked man from Japan wearing a Japanese mask attaching Bart Gunn

So a bit after that Williams is revealed and managed by Jim Ross now. Bart Gunn & Butterbean has a promo then we see Ed Ferrera (the co-head booker with Vince Russo) as Oklahoma and Williams faces the Hardy Boys in a handicap match

More of him tomorrow and you might be a bit surprised

I vaguely remember JR working with him. They really did Bart Gunn raw. Even Butterbean was more of punishment for him effing up their Brawl for All plans.

Oh Playboy Buddy Rose, he was always really good on the mic, i really liked him. When he returned to the WWF in 1990, that was a good time of his and funny too

Yes, there is some stuff I couldn't find about him & JR but we'll see about that next time cause since you said about Bart Gunn and all that...I'll show you this. Here's his fight with Butterbean at WMXV, 25 years ago this year in 1999 :shock:

This was quite big for Us. Me & My Grandparents already knew whom Butterbean was years before this and My Grandpa loved Vinny "The Paz" Pazienza. He followed his career a lot on TV. He was really shocked how Paz broke his neck and then came back. Oh the times of boxing in the 90s was so fun as I talked about before in your the Zen Topic PB

So this was something, here we're watching wrestling and there's this boxing on in the event too, the best of both worlds

Paz is the special guest referee in the match. Watch how poor Bart Gunn get's totally knocked out here

Okay, here's this short interview with Butterbean about a year ago. Listen to what he says about Gunn, Paz and more

Yeah, hearing how all that went down makes Vince look like a grade a a-hole, but it's also not surprising.

Indeed. Dusty & Murdoch :!:

Okay, here's this between Dr. Death Steve Williams & Hardcore Holly. Those poor Fish :roll:

This is one of Williams's last appearances in the WWF. That's Bruce Pritchard aka Brother Love :shock:

Even stranger he' admits that Tom Pritchard is his brother...that's one of the only times ever that I recall him doing that or that it was ever acknowledged on a wrestling show :batshock:

Also that's The Giant Silva there of The oddities.

Here's the interview with Williams about Jim Ross plus more...TOTALLY UNBELIEVABLE

As a bonus. The Doctor that Williams was talking about, I've known Dr. James Andrews decades ago. I wanted to find the one with Diesel when Sid injured him in 95 but I couldn't but this recent A&E one will do with Lex Luger cause it was a huge deal back then in 92 when he was a big part of the WBF which I spotlighted in My Yo, Do You Remember 92 & 93

Don't recall any of that time with Steve Williams and Giant Silva. Not sure why.

BrandonDaCollector · by **BrandonDaCollector** » Sat Jun 08, 2024 9:18 am

Oh man, I sure remember that with Owen Hart, he was so great. He wasn't The King of Harts yet. This is what I was talking about before, this was such a great brother vs. brother feud. The WWF was very fun at that time too

Huh, yeah , he really wasn't there that long. They totally misused used Giant Silva, he should have been Giant Gonzales 2.0 but instead just an oddity that was really a regular guy :roll:

So, after his time in the WWF, Dr. Death Steve Williams went back to WCW late 99 which was amazing that he was in the WWF & WCW the same year :shock:

Who is his new manger :?:

It's JR...oh wait that's Ed Ferrera as Oklahoma AGAIN

Now isn't that something else :?:

This was when Ed & Vince "Vic Venom" Russo both left WWF and became the head bookers there and became the dreaded "Powers that Be" :!:

Ed owned the Oklahoma character so that's how he was able to reprise that again somewhere else. Here's Steve is facing Vampiro, Jerry Only of the Misfits :!:

After his brief run in WCW, in 2000 he got his revenge on Bart Gunn in Japan :!:

If that wasn't sweet enough, he got even more redemption the following year in 2001 and I believe this was one of Bart's final bouts :batshock:

That was a terrible time at WCW.

BrandonDaCollector · by **BrandonDaCollector** » Sun Jun 09, 2024 8:24 am

Yeah, I have to agree. It had it's moments but I wanted to like it but it was hard at times. This is one of the reasons why I love WCW in 95 and before that, it was so much funner. However, I love how the women were in WCW then, oh now that was really sweet :batwink:

Okay, this is the last of Dr. Death Steve Williams for a while. First, here's this of Terry" Bam Bam" Gordy :shock:

IMO he was so underrated and the most overlooked of The Freebirds IMO :roll:

Now here's a double promo of Williams & Gordy, they weren't always friends as they had some of the best matches facing each other. This is from UWF and yes that's Bruce Pritchard aka Brother Love so when you saw Williams & Pritchard in before in 99, that was a bit of a reunion there :shock:
