2 years later , in 1995 , Angle defeated Kerr to make the World Team in a very close match. Angle went on to win the gold at worlds and won the Olympics the following year. Both these guys were beats.
@Calub Park Yeah man seen a lot of interviews he s been given these days and seems he got lot of anxiaty dealing with myself with it I know it can fck you up mentally even you have all the talent when that thing in your head is playing tricks it will show in your actions also.... Glad to see Mark Kerr doing interviews for whole time it was very quiet around him, he talks about all of this in the interviews glad to see he`s coming out of his shell and show his face again in the MMA world he`s legend and pioneer and a champ and hell of an athlete!!! I hope this movie will be welcomed with open hands and he can florish of this ... Also HOF shoudl be given to him...
Definitely watching these guys pre juice. Best thing about mma is it brought in the forgotten martial art, wrestling and has allowed young men the opportunity to make a living in a combat sport.
@@joemayo4078 you are probably very young Joe. I made my living teaching martial arts from 1984 through 2013. No karate guy I ever talked to thought of wrestling as a martial art. Publications like Black Belt magazine certainly never mentioned it. In the early 90’s, when the UFC came out and you had guys like Severn, Couture, Henderson, Matt Lindland and a host of Olympic and NCAA champions did you see wrestling getting its proper due in what you could call the martial arts community. That is a fact. Of course late 90’s and since then everyone knows the importance of a wrestling background and the advantages it can give you.
@@joemayo4078 wrestling was a forgotten martial art. The big question used to be which is better: Kung Fu, karate or boxing. Most people had no idea wrestling, or even Jujitsu.
These guys were so competitive with each other. I believe Kerr holds the edge against Angle at 3-2 in their matches against each other, but angle won when it mattered. World team trials and Olympic trials are when he beat Kerr I believe. He actually credits Kerr with making him a better wrestler.
Just for the people that have no idea what this feels like. Just sprint till tired. Then squat, military press and bench 75% of your body weight for 3 rounds of 2 minutes each. Do this work out morning noon and night from 1985 till 2001. Let's see how you feel after these 3 workouts of 18 mins for each day. NOW REMEMBER YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR WEIGHT IN CHECK BEFORE YOU WEIGHTS WILL INCREASE. IF YOU STARVE YOU WILL BE WEEK. NO YOU HAVE THE RESULTS.
Mark was being penalized for passivity. The ref says "action blue" at 2:05 before blowing the whistle. Nowadays, you are put on the 30-second shot clock, but back then, you were either placed in par terre or you had to allow your opponent to initiate a takedown from a standing position Notice the ref asks Kurt Angle to choose Kerr's position as standing (up) or par terre (down).
Then Kerr, Coleman, and Randleman, hammer house guys, juiced themselves to the gills n went on to MMA. All three so much ability, and I believe they wouldve been better had they not juiced n turned into mass monsters, all fought at heavyweight. Theyd all gas out. Imagine Randleman fighting at his natural weight around welterweight/middleweight?! All are legends, RIP monster
Imagine this version of Kerr fighting in the UFC at about the late 2000's at HW and not cutting weight at around 235-240. His cardio and wrestling would've been enough to beat pretty much every HW champion in history.
this is awesome i never knew kerr had to square off with kurt angle back in the day, i kind of gained a little more respect for him than i had. i lost tons of respect for him when i was younger after watching his documentary and seeing how bad a junkie he became, but this makes me realize he really did have more chops than i gave him credit for
Mark is a two time ufc heavyweight champion, a former collegiate wrestler, and a former vale tude performer. Mark always had the chops to hang in their with the best
@@21nitro21 The comment was meant to be funny. I wrestled 3 years in high school. I remember the daily training and sucking weight for a meet. You have to love the sport. I really did not have that love to continue on.
I am coaching now at my own DOJO, but been wrestling since 1984. When we had camps as kids these guys were there which was royalty. Wrestling back then was like Crossfit now. It has a different following.
im sorry i cant appreciate this style of fighting its so boring to me, but at the same time i wish i would've taken it up in high school and bring it back to the Olympics because today societies are a bunch of slack jawed aggots
People have forgotten just how good Mark Kerr was at wrestling. One year prior to this match, he majored Randy Couture in the NCAA finals 12-4.
People forget that!
@@itsjustaride12 no they don’t
What’re you talking about?
Those who know never forgot, Mark was a wrestling beast. The Smashing Machine
@@JGD185 MMA vale tudo,wvc 1997,pride ,ufc o cara era bruto
The amount of talent and future accolades on the mat is incredible
There’s like 18 people in that building during a match of absolute legends.
😂 I been to high school match to watch my niece wrestle not a lot of ppl watche these but family 😅 oh of course friends and staff 😎
2 of the biggest cheats in wrestling history, legends, that's funny.

Kerr and Mark Coleman help drive Kurt angle to become a Olympic gold medalist
@@FlameOnJonny no doubt about that
Ufc champ,3x ADCC,Champion,Vale Tudo World Champion vs Olympic Gold Medalist,Wwe Champion.....Too much talent on one mat.
Crazzy right
WWE Champion ????
Fake fight
@@Braz438 watch mark Coleman vs Fujida, then get back to me on fake fights
Battle of D1 NCAA champions to add the credibility
@@kickstartgaming69 uhh wut?
I never knew this existed, so sick, both so good and took different paths of greatness
Pre neck injury Kurt was as good of an amateur wrestler as America has ever seen
Kerr was stronger, Angle was faster, their record against each other is an even 3-3 over the years, both solid wrestlers...
This isn’t Kerr it’s Coleman. Angle doesn’t face Kerr til 1995.
@@Re-Todd_Howard In this vid? No that's Mark Kerr 100%. Been following Kerr since Pride and Coleman since the 90's. Def The Smashing Machine.
Those 2 were the best in the 90's. Soild wrestlers is a understatement.
@@21nitro21 Kerr is criminally underrated in many ways... wrestling and MMA. Pain killers really did him in and his toxic GF.

seriously great quality video for how old this is
This was filmed back when there was actual film and the camera was bigger than a shoebox.
@@magicmark1837 no it wasnt. Handheld cams were around in 1993
Not really. It’s from 1993. Plenty of quality video from that period
The early smashing machine, oh yeah! 💪💪💪💪
Really enjoy all the kurt angle videos.
...mark kerr???
Great match
Wow I didnt expect Mark to win.
A spectacular example of American wrestling prowess
Hard fought match there
Can someone please explain to me why Mark Kerr is placed in the par terre position at 2:16?
The type of wrestling is freestyle he had a choice of going up down or neutral and he chose bottom

this is insane
Here after watching uncle chael mention this match 😁
Is Shultz coaching Angle?
I believe so
@@itsjustaride12 yes and the man who killed him, Dupont is in the back with the blue and yellow jumpsuit. There is so much in this video.
@@scottruest2266holy crap
Kerr Was A Savage 💯🤼🤘
Dave & Dupont coaching? Lots of. "Juice" on the mat
Weird to see Kerr this skinny. Nice takedown by Angle at 8:36.
The only takedown that angle getting in the match
very naice 👆

Kerr keeps running out off bounds
crazy how both guys would have their lives ruined by opiates
