What made him such a great heel was the intelligence he spoke with. No yelling, screaming or nonsense. Just a Bockwinkel type confidence that made this 12 year old believe everything he said. One of my favorites.
The cool thing is watching these old clips of Superstar, WII, Masked Assasins, Ole Anderson, they were all very well spoken. They didn't have to yell and scream. Masked Superstar was one of my favorites back then, what a physique the guy had.
Ha! The Masked Superstar was one of the greatest! Looked forward to watching Georgia Championship Wrestling every Saturday evening growing up hoping to see him on. Loved his feud with Mr. Wrestling 2! One of my favorite memories watching wrestling!
If you haven't already look up Terry Funk vs Bruce Walkup steel cage match from Florida Championship Wrestling. It's fantastic!!!! Unfortunately Bruce Walkup passed away at age 75 on April 7th 2016.
Iron Mike Sharpe was a top contender in the NWA before he came to the WWF and got reduced to "jobber" status in the WWF Shuffle. Sort of like Dolph Ziggler nowadays!
@@davidquinn9476 He was a big heel in Houston for a while - he did this injured arm gimmick where he wore an arm brace to protect his "injured" arm - Iron Mike said it was legal because he had x-rays proving the injury. He would bring the x-rays to the arena but would never show them to the promoter - not sure why..........
Superstar: Hold that belt, don't run away with it. Gordon: Alright. This tickled me for some reason. I always imagined, if they ever did, they type of conversations that these men would have backstage. Two gents.
masked superstar, mr.wrestling II, and the assassin. Real men behind masks not some kind of monster, they just didnt want to be stalked by the fans! It's a great character!
One of the all time greats on the mike and in the ring. He always gave an interview like he was on the set of Dick Cavett or something. G. Solie was pro wrestling's equivalent of that though.
The Masked Superstar's list of top contenders was incomplete: he left off both Mulkey Brothers, Frank Williams and The Brooklyn Brawler! He must have been ducking those baddies!
@tornmask Actually The Masked Superstar did wrestle in the old WWF. He was managed by The Grand Wizard(early 80's). He wrestled Bob Backlund for the title. He came around in the last days of old school Kayfabe before McMahon jr. took it to the cartoonish "Hogan era" level.
It was Superstar that softened Backlund up, he'd had a series of title matches and "injured" Backlund's neck with a spinning neckbreaker on the floor if my memory is correct. Iron Sheik may have inflicted more damage with the clubs after that, you're probably right. In hindsight, Backlund was being set up to lose the title and not look weak, just in case that Hogan experiment tanked.
he shouldve added Florida bad asses Raul Matta, Luis Aestea,Frank Monte and Bubba Douglass aka the mayor of Lakeland -their necks wouldve wore out his clotheslining arm nightly
Snake Brown vs The Masked Superstar would've sold out the Omni in fact they would've had to move it to Atlanta Fulton County Stadium so 50,000 could've seen the mother of all matches.#SnakeBrownisnoclown
2022 Rules forever I'm masked superstar and all the rock n roll singer s they play on Kool 108 forever promise to god. Steve Fikes Andre the giant and all the country singer s they play on k102 and Bob f.m. forever promise to god. Bye 👋 now 😀😷♥👍.
Demolition Axe, and Masked Superstar the same man. I can't believe that Masked Superstar was always one of my hero in the wrestling magazine's. Masked Superstar had such class, Axe I never liked and when I see his shoots interviews I don't like him. Mostly a comment he made that I know isn't tell specially for someone in the wrestling business.

Agreed!!
Facts
Gordon's face when he was reading them off was classic.
The cool thing is watching these old clips of Superstar, WII, Masked Assasins, Ole Anderson, they were all very well spoken. They didn't have to yell and scream. Masked Superstar was one of my favorites back then, what a physique the guy had.
masked superstar was my favorite heel, growing up. so good!
"Are you questioning my ability? Are you questioning my mental ability as well as my wrestling ability?" Pure gold!
Dan, 10 years and im just finding these!
Gord Solie, LEGEND!
Masked Superstar was always awesome, both on the mike and in the ring. Props for mentioning Snake Brown
I've always liked the Superstar masks.
Ha! The Masked Superstar was one of the greatest! Looked forward to watching Georgia Championship Wrestling every Saturday evening growing up hoping to see him on. Loved his feud with Mr. Wrestling 2! One of my favorite memories watching wrestling!
Damn, this man can do an interview!
George South should have definitely been on the list of top contenders.
Tommy Rich has had his chance. Give Snake Brown his turn!
The list before Jericho even thought of a list.
Bill Eadie one of the best ever.
I read that he's the Godfather of Andre the Giant's daughter. It may had been an interview of him that I learned of this.
@@joeyrincones9308 It is the other way around.Andre is godfather to both of Bill’s daughters.He and Andre were very close friends.
Great jab at haystack's calhoun. Most wrestlers thought he was an absolute tub of waste.
The belts were way cooler back in those days.
ahahaaa!
I preferred the suits made in Hazzard County. Pristine White and like they just came back from the dry cleaners.
Obviously Eadie was afraid of my boy Mike Jackson.
Wasn't everybody?
Good 1 😂😂😂
Sir Rickton Link. Haven't heard that name in a while. I remember him from the 70's. He's only 63.
Gordon sold the list Bill gives perfectly.
DISCO brought me here!
Me too 😂
Me 2....
Bill Eadie was a great talker
They put belts on guys to make them more impressing, they put a belt on superstar to make the belt more impressing
Tony G, Burrhead Jones, Bruce Wallkup--The list of top contenders goes on forever.
Michael Connors Raul Mata and Don Serrano from Florida Championship Wrestling ....only 3 seconds from greatness those two
If you haven't already look up Terry Funk vs Bruce Walkup steel cage match from Florida Championship Wrestling. It's fantastic!!!! Unfortunately Bruce Walkup passed away at age 75 on April 7th 2016.
@@donwilcox728 Also look up JJ Dillon's promo about Walkup after Funk destroyed walkup in the cage.
Rodney King, Mike Jackson, Pat Rose🌹 ........
Holy shit, Iron Mike got a name drop from Gordon!!!
Iron Mike Sharpe was a top contender in the NWA before he came to the WWF and got reduced to "jobber" status in the WWF Shuffle. Sort of like Dolph Ziggler nowadays!
Yes ....he was a star early in his career
@@davidquinn9476 He was a big heel in Houston for a while - he did this injured arm gimmick where he wore an arm brace to protect his "injured" arm - Iron Mike said it was legal because he had x-rays proving the injury.

Wasn't Haystacks a tag Champ in WWE I. The 70s? His career must've plummeted fast being as Eadie was talking as though Calhoun was a jobber
Superstar was the best on the mic. Props for respect to Snake Brown too
One of the greats on the mic, in the ring.
Superstar: Hold that belt, don't run away with it.
Gordon: Alright.
This tickled me for some reason.
I always imagined, if they ever did, they type of conversations that these men would have backstage. Two gents.
wow masked superstar sure had some tough contenders on that list. lol
Haha, I love this! Hey, he was just trying to help out the underdogs!
masked superstar, mr.wrestling II, and the assassin. Real men behind masks not some kind of monster, they just didnt want to be stalked by the fans! It's a great character!

Snake brown was probably the most underrated overlooked wrestler to ever get into the squared circle, prove me wrong
Rest in peace gordon solie!!!, the best to ever do it!
Superstar sounds like a Well educated man.
Too bad Rocky King wasn't around then. He definitely would've made the list!!!
Or "Cheeseburger" from ROH!
Or El Dandy! Who are you to doubt El Dandy? XD
That would've been one more loss for RK.
Randy and Bill Mulkey should have been on that list!
The Masked Superstar's list of top contenders was incomplete: he left off both Mulkey Brothers, Frank Williams and The Brooklyn Brawler! He must have been ducking those baddies!
Pulsar Stargrave This was before Mulkey-mania (and Brooklyn Brawler was a wwF guy)
Pulsar Stargrave don't forget the awesome Gillberg.
lol
Pulsar Stargrave dont forget barry horowitz or crash holly ....very very competant
How dare you leave off Dale Veesey!

He was the first guy to wrestle hulk hogan when he won the belt from the sheik.
Snake Brown rules!!!
How about Jake "the Milkman" Milliman?
Yeah or Joel Deaton
The superstar was a baaaad man and he went out and got a tag team partner named the destroyer and they were awesome at the time!!!

Uh...this Masked Superstar is cool (great comment to Gordon Solie at 0:55) !
Masked Superstar > Demolition Ax
As a little kid, the Masked Superstar was my all-time favorite. Didn't he have a masters of education?
Yes in reform school.
Yes he does and he was a high school teacher before becoming a pro wrestler.
@thefriendsociety absolutely....Superstar, Wrestling II, Assassins, etc were more about ability then using their mask as their main gimmick
Bunk Harris!
Two legends working their craft
he shouldve added Florida bad asses Raul Matta, Luis Aestea,Frank Monte and Bubba Douglass aka the mayor of Lakeland -their necks wouldve wore out his clotheslining arm nightly
Superstar is better known as Ax of Demolition
Ax of Demolition is better known as the Superstar

I think Bret Hart's "El Dandy" interview may have been inspired by this.
😂😂😂 what a list.
Years later Bret Hart would do the same thing when he was WCW US Champion.
How about El Dandy ?
No Names, Come on Superstar..
@jeepsterb You forgot about Ric Linc..
Hardly heard of most of the jibronis!
His list is very funny
No Rusty Brooks?
His,, great,, wrestling
He should have added Ron Rossi and Bill White to the list.
How could he leave out El Dandy
The list was killers row
Snake Brown how did this guy not go farther?
He could have added Mickey Mouse to his list.
Forgot El Dandy brother....

His list. Is a bunch of jobbers. Lmfaoo 🤣
Lol. Haystack Calhoun
Mike Link
See all masked wrestlers should have managers or never speak, it defeats the purpose of the mask
Cody Rhodes in 2020
Classic trolling!
List of jobbers!😂😂😂
A bunch damn jobbers!!
Legit list except he should have had Hulk Hogan on there.
