8MileBU Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Steve Blackman, the lethal weapon! Smashed f**k out of JBL for his pish in real life so Steve Blackman = good c**t Would Al Snow be considered popular? Fucking loved him. Blackman's story is quite interesting. Actually debuted in the WWF in the 80's but then got really ill for a few years after contracting malaria which took his muscle and left him thin and weak. Anyway, I digress. Following on from WFAANW's post; I've seen a couple of clips of Stone Cold and Teddy Long both talking about how legitimately tough Blackman was. One story was of Blackman lying on his back stretching and Big Show walking over standing above him talking shit and trying to be intimidating. Story goes that from a flat position, Blackman took Big Show down and had him squealing for mercy in barely 5 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Blackman and Shamrock were both great. I also quite enjoyed Dan Severn as well but he was never over at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Sounds like the OSW Review "Boys" stable... Which, funnily enough, me and Randy Giles (and a few others) were discussing this recently. I believe my choices were... Perry Saturn Crash Holly Chavo Guerrero Jr Earthquake Lance Storm I think we all also agreed that everyone will have Mojo Rawley on this list in a decade's time.

Harsh list, at least 2 or 3 of those lads can go a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 They are all phenomenal athletes and legends in the ring and on the mic. But none of them were ever that popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_diamond Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Perry Saturn is a great shout for this thread, superb in the ring and charismatic as you like but outside of the amazing run with the eliminators in ECW few seemed to care.

Absolutely none of the folk on that list were 'legends in the ring and on the mic'. Whilst they all, except Earthquake, were good in the ring, they were all pretty horrible on the mic (with the possible exception of Chavo). Or have I been whooshed here?

AsimButtHitsASix Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Earthquake, when he debuted in the WWF as Canadian Earthquake, was a machine. For his size and for the time he was just as quick as any of the other steroid filled fuds in the WWF pure coming in and slapping Hogan about, pulling off drop kicks and big splashes like naebodies business. He was built up like an unbeatable phenom and even managed to pin Hogan which was almost unheard of at the time and he was over as f**k in a way no heel was between André and Taker. Obviously the Vince shat it and Hogan buried him and, sadly, the main part of their feud was played out on TV and never got the big PPV send off it deserved and he was relegated to mid card and having to drag the useless Typhoon through tag matches in a shockingly bad tag team division before his WCW payday saw him lumbered in with the fucking Dungeon of fucking Doom.

jacobsladder Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 According to Wikipedia Steve Blackman is a bail bondsman as well as running a martial arts academy- imagine skipping bail and he turns up at your door - you would shit yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd weep and shit myself so much that he'd hopefully be too disgusted to batter me. He's still in pretty serious shape as well seemingly. http://www.blackmanbailbonds.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francesc Fabregas Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Good to see plenty of people bigging up Steve Blackman, I remember watching him when I was a boy and thinking he was amazing. He was bland and unsmiling and couldn't really cut a promo but he was pretty cool. What was his finisher? Was it some kind or armbar? I'm also pleased to read he's doing well for himself and he put JBL in his place; JBL comes across as a pretty unpleasant guy outside the ring.

Latino Lover Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Used to like Sean O'Haire a lot, should of came to much more. Liked all the spot monkeys like EZ Money and Kid Kash back in my younger days watching ECW on Bravo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
