    Blackwell was one of THE best. Graceful and agile. Excellent in both heel and babyface roles.

    RIP "Crusher" Jerry Blackwell, the "Mountain From Stone Mountain." A helluva underrated big man. His matches witch Bob Backlund, Jerry Lawler, Bruiser Brody and Stan Hansen are the stuff of legend.

    Thanks channel extreme, Memphis wrestling will never die. Interesting match, Crusher "no sold" some of Lawler's staple moves and picking up the King before the 3 count was something rarely seen.

      Not even in the top 10. The guy was way too short and his career was way too regional for him to be the best ever. André the Giant is of course the greatest ever.

    Blackwell was one of the best sellers. He was a heel I loved to hate in the AWA.

    I saw Blackwell several times early in his career (semi-final matches in the Mid-Atlantic territory) and you could tell he was going places in this business. He looked like the stereotypical "big fat guy", but man, could he put on a good match.

    As for the "padded trampoline" thing, wrestling rings are not trampolines. They have some give to them, but certainly not as much as people give them credit for. Mick Foley said the pre-1999 rings in the WWF were like hitting concrete. As for the size difference, the first first UFC match pitted a 190 pound fighter against a 350 pound sumo wrestler. The 190lbs fighter won in 15 seconds. Size does not always make a difference even in a real fight.

    3:25 to 3:32...Jerry takin his balls for a head-humpin ride on Blackwell while rapid-punchin him in the face...i liked how Jerry's punches slowed at the end, in unison with his slowing last "spurts" shooting off into his singlet...I imagine Jerry was feelin pretty damn alpha right there...I liked the way he slammed his knees into the canvas with each punch to disguise his "punish-humpin" of Blackwell's head, i can see why he had to slow his punches at the end, the alpha-feelin "spasms" were messing with his punching rhythm 😜

    can't believe a missed belly splash was good enough for a 3 count. I've yet to hurt myself and I can do it on a hard floor and Jerry was on a padded trampoline...lol Guess it was just as fake then. Still a fan but awfully predictable is every match. even dq's. If this was real Lawler had no chance.\
