- Rare match from the original Japanese UWF from 1984. "Dirty" Dutch Mantell vs Akira Maeda.
Dutch talked about this match on facebook. "OK guys...this is the match I was talking about in my book. This was my first night in Japan...after almost a 20 hour day. I left Nashville headed to Los Angeles and then direct from LA to Tokyo."
Maeda stiffed Dutch in the match. Watch until the end of the match to find out more!
Purchase Dutch's book "The World According to Dutch" from Amazon or any other good retailer. - Спорт
Thanks James Romero for suggesting this! What a scrappy fella. A jobber that could wrestle! Obv communication is an issue here and Dutch took it right on the chin like a man 💪🏻
Dutch Mantell is under rated.
Dutch was an agile dude. I always assumed he was a tough dirty brawler but he's pretty light when he wanted to be.
Came from Dutch’s podcast. He’s not selling at the end, he is OUT from the spinning heel kick.
That's why I'm watching this right now. Incredible!
Dutch kicked him in the face. That's called a "receipt"
@@DrummingTmateDutch ain’t gonna do shit he’s always been a bitch
Same here!
Mantel looks like Dr death Steve Williams dressed as ECW Taz.
supposedly dutch didn't really know how the UWF worked back then, he thought he was going in to another promo similar to AJPW / NJPW. The UWF was a totally different ball game, they wanted to portrait it as a shoot. If you looked at some of the other matches, guys took kicks in the face, stiff forearms, slaps etc.. It wasn't uncommon. That being said, i thought dutch did a really good job with this match, almost everything he did looked pretty stiff and "real"
It's interesting that the debut show of a Japanese promotion had an American referee working its main event.
Many Japanese promotions had gaijin refs, especially in their early days. Johnny "Red Shoes" Dugan spent years working for NJPW.
@@MisterBeauJanGels Good info. Thanks!
I bet this made the tape trading rounds back in the day.
That crowd is loud for japan! Dang Dutch is a great heel
すみません。最後の前田さんのマイクアピールを字幕にしてください笑笑
I wish all referees were as good as this guy. Dutch could go, man. I enjoyed this match.
Mantell was booked to lose in this match so the only complain he has is the way Maeda used illegal TKD kick to knock him out. Maeda is an ethnic Korean who joined New Japan ProWrestling to escape jail time at 18. (Osaka municipal Police had warrant for his arrest on assault charge) He got fired by NJ ProWrestling for kicking another wrestler with unpredictable/illegal kick from behind to the face to break eye bones.
Not just any wrestler. he broke the face of fellow “zainichi” Riki Chosu.
A TKD kick is illegal in UWF?
After hearing about this on Dutch's podcast I expected it to be a devastating kick. It didn't look too bad. Dutch wasn't knocked out either. His legs did not buckle when Maeda picked him up for the back suplex after the kick. Dutch was understandably exhausted from such a long travel day. He just wanted to go to sleep which he did for moment there on the mat.
Hi. Could you please explain, after the match, what was Maeda saying, and why was he so angry that he threw the mic down? Thank you.
They were throwing some real stiff shots mantell was pretty decent
Maeda must have loved the I-No-Ki chants LOL
It's funny, because it sounded like the Inoki chant was instigated by a single fan.
前田はこの時くらいポテンシャルに溢れていたことがない。動体のえがく曲線も肉体の造形も美しく、寡黙で危険なマイノリティーの若者の持つ独特の緊張感が見ものだった。二次UWFではもう柄の悪いフツーのオッサンに成り果て駄目だったから、変化は新日復帰時代（二十代後半）に起こったということだろう。
声出してる子供はもはや50歳前後のオッサンになってるんだろうなぁ
Mantell and Maeda having this style of match in a pure-MMA-influenced promotion really kinda exposes how unrealistic the Memphis-brawling style was, huh?
MMA did not exist. This was the closest thing to it probably at the time as worked matches that looked worked but also looked reality based
@@michaelromandel9022 Muhammed Ali vs Antonio Inoki happened in 1976 and Gene Lebell vs Milo Savage happened in 1963. I definitely think that MMA existed before this.
Even if "MMA" wasn't a labeled thing, the popularity and difference in intensity between boxing and wrestling still was very obvious.
素晴らしいジャーマン‼︎
前田のスープレックスはどれも絶品だった。
素晴らしい!試合。
ラッシャー木村さんがいる！
ラッシャー木村もガタイが凄い
なんか良いシーンですよね。
前田氏は言われるほどプロレスは下手じゃないよね。
If Dutch knew it was a shoot match he could of won. He was so cool back then.
against maeda, probably not. very little chance Dutch could have beat him
この時期、胡散臭かったラッシャー木村と剛竜馬(人間性ではなくてレスラーとして)をセコンドに従えて、なんともフレッシュだった前田がいるっていうのが、カオスだよなあ。
What belt is Maeda wearing, the WWF International title?
Yes wwf international heavyweight title. He wore that the rest of his career
Funny you mention that title. I was at MSG when he won that title in a final of a “tournament”. I believe he beat Pierre Lefebrve if I remember correctly. Was an unannounced match. Didn’t mean crap to the live crowd. Since it was never on US soil don’t know why it was “won”at MSG. For the mags I guess.
Maede looked like he was excited to wrestle Dutch, I mean he knew he was going to beat him of course, but he looked like he just couldn't wait to get going on him as he was standing in his corner before the match started, like he was anticipating how much pleasure he was going to get from punishing and humiliating him, almost as if he got off on it...thinking about all the things he wanted to do to Mantell when the bell rang....and man did he ever have some fun...I wouldn't be surprised if he left the ring after the match with a satisfying load of man-spunk in his trunks...
FOH
この試合ひとつ観てもよつちゃんが偽物と言うのがよくわかる。
Maeda was Akira Hokuto's hero and she patterned her persona on him early in her career before adding the creative appearances. Maeda's match with Andre is must see if you want to see a complete clusterfuck of a match . . so weird that Inoki comes out during the match to ask what is going on!
観客からは
猪木、長州、藤浪コール
何故だ？
柳澤の本で、この試合で前田が危険な技を仕掛けて怪我させたってあったけど嘘やん
I never knew that the Mantaur costume was around back in '84. 😂
He's lucky Dutch didn't seriously hurt him . Dutch Mantell takes shit from NO MAN .
If he can handle Buzz Sawyer & Randy Savage, he can handle Maeda.
Dutch didn't know it was a half shoot promotion until two more matches down there. He thought they didn't know how to work until someone smartened him up to their business.
@@TuMalditaMadre That would've been handy information . lol
Vietnam Ranger, shoot . He may very well won the fight, but he'd know had been in one, I bet . LOL .... Maeda = Badass
@@imafreakinhistorian2169not a chance. maeda was a more skilled fighter

Mantell has been a jobber throughout his career. He’s got a big mouth, though. And Bruiser Brody’s Spirit & Soul will be disappointed at him until the end of time for having twisted the truth and choosing Carlos Colon’s side.
もしや初日なのか？
だから観客がおかしな事言ってるんだな。あれは酷い詐欺ポスターだから観客も気の毒。
Maeda was a coward, put him in with a Stan Hansen or Vader and see what would happen if he tried any of this!
thewelshviper exactly. He was and still is a very tough man with a quick temper
@thewelshviper maeda never tried that in england
I suggest you see the Andre-Maeda fight when Andre gets so annoyed he tries to lose and Maeda walks out. Inoki came out during the match to ream Maeda out.
Maeda Legit Beat Up Andre The Giant.
@@jayceegenocide4402 In all fairness, Andre was older, fatter and had back issues. If Maeda tried it with the 1975 version of Andre, it may have ended differently.
