The Skyscrapers could withstand an Avalanch but they were no match for coked up Mike "Buff" Blackwell. What makes it even more hilarious is the way Sid is dressed. He looks like something out of The Blue Oyster. Cowboy vest and assless chaps. He's Stone Cold Sid Michaels😂
7:41 I think even Spivey himself said in an interview that he told the dude ' Get out and play dead, you're good.' to Avalanch and good to the letter , he did.
You can see Spivey give him the iggy on it -- you can also see Teddy Long position himself that the jobber who wasn't the problem doesn't inadvertently get nailed in the crossfire.
I've watched that video so many times, and it never gets old. Seriously, though, of all the teams you're going to try to go into business for yourself with? The SKYSCRAPERS, of all people?! You gotta have a death wish. I can only imagine how bad the backstage beating was.
No doubt, Spivey might have been the baddest man in wrestling, the only people that don't rank Spivey as one of the toughest ever don't know wrestling.
Mike Blackwell was ahead of his time, he basically set the standard for how every indy wrestler has performed from 20002 up till today in terms of doing things wrong
@@bennwardhaugh3013 Yeah, Cornette’s telling of the backstage bit is great; I think he said he was the representative for the WCW office backstage that night- or there in some sort of official capacity like that, so he had to follow them into the locker room, & when Spivey was hitting the guy, Cornette said the only thing he could think to say was “I don’t think you should be doing that, Danny.” Jim knew the guy deserved it, plus he said what else was he expected to do; he wasn’t gonna be trying to get in the way of a pissed off Spivey haha. He also said Syd was trying to get in to hit the guy too, but the locker room was so small, and Syd & Spivey were so big, poor Syd couldn’t really get his shots in haha.
@@ThisCharmingMan1984 That's a pretty damn good rendition of Corney's story bah Gawd! I vividly remember the part when he says Teddy gave him the iggy that they were going to the locker room and that's when he followed in case he had to say anything in court. He also said to someone after the beating (I can't for the life of me remember who he said it was) that it would be in Mike's best interest to get him out of the building so it doesn't happen again. All he had to do was sell and they would have made him look good, it's incredible how professional they remained for the entire match.
I always respect the fact that they didn't punish Avalanch at all. Dude had nothing to do with this and they let him be. You can see the genuine fear on Avalanch's face around 7:39 or so. They could have whipped his ass and probably got away just fine. Instead, they let him pass in peace. I would be remiss if I didn't mark out for the Firepro reference :D
It's up there (it's definitely the most well known), but there is another one that recently happened that I think is brutally worse. Former WWE wrestler Manu (known as Afa Jr on the current indies) about 4 weeks ago beat the living crap out of an indie jobber. It's a 40 second shoot fight (well, I wouldn't call it a fight, it's more assault due to the one sided nature of it) and it's very brutal (the hits are pretty loud). And the shoot promo afterwards is freaking horrible.
That wrestler Avalanche was terrified. He thought that the Skyscrapers were going to beat his ass too. Mike Blackwell put him in such a bad spot. Avalanche got the hell out of Dodge. 😆
I was a wrestler in the UK for 7years (not on the level of Stevie Richards) and some of my family watched my matches. I told them exactly what my purpose in wrestling was and they and I was ok with that ( I was a "jobber"). Egos and wrestlers are not a good mix !
For the trivia buffs, Mike was part of a USWA (Dallas) tag team The Dogs of War. Mike and Buster Blackhart, they got a moderate push and were briefly managed by Skandor Akbar. His partner Avalanch, was a Chris Adams trainee who wrestled as Battleship Texas.
@@Apocalypse3434 well, it's arguable if Ryback did indeed make it. He has many of the ego problems that Puder does. Miz went through his own tough times and put his ego to the side. You could say his former teammate John Morrison is a Tough Enough success story. I would say Miz and Morrison are the two undeniably success stories out of Tough Enough.
Dan Spivey is a real life badass, but I've always heard that he was chill as hell. He and Sid gave this guy all the ground to play ball and they didn't take any liberties until after the match, only because he was *STILL* not selling lol.
To do the hypotheticals here. He was idotic enough to not sell for Sid and Spivey who absolutely taught him a lesson but it could have been a lot lot worse what they did to him. At this point in WCW both Vader and Ron Simmons were in the company and they would nkt have been as forgiving in the ring with him.
Holy god, could you imagine if the guy no sold Ron Simmons? Ron Simmons beat the brakes off Public Enemy, and all they wanted to do was change the ending spot of a match 😂
@@skrounst that's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this comment. I've also seen Vader drop guys hard if he felt they weren't being cooperative.
Wrong. Vader signed in 1990. Doink beat Bret on a house show. Bossman beat Freddy Krueger AND Leatherface in tag-team action. The match occurred in Japan, at the abandoned Takamoto Prison, and was billed as a 'Halloween Prison of Horrors' match. Pat Patterson caught Nailz dancing around to High Energy's theme backstage and got to Owen and Koko. Owen and Koke got to Vince, but McMahon had big plans for Keven. Sonny Onoo was a black belt in Taekwondo and would face AND beat Chuck Norris in martial arts exhibitions. Macho shanked Flair at 'Cade95. HHH would tag jobbers for real if they didn't comply. Percy wrote all of Undertaker's original promos. Pringle worked as a mortician and 'got' the character. Richard Rood was 'Da Ravishing One'. Raven wrote the infamous Chris Benoit promo at Starrcade 97. Chris got to Scotty backstage and asked him to write him a decent promo. Scotty inked a classic and couldn't wait to hear it before a live crowd. Chris forgot it when it came time, causing heat between the two men🧐. In Canada, Jacques Rougeau was king. He even outdrew and beat Hogan clean for the title, then danced around to Real American! The Beverleys spiked some jobber with the Shaker Heights Spike finisher. The Steiners got them back by stiffing them at the Rumble. Vince gave Hawk a dressing down after he ruined a Vader promo on heat. Tap 'Vader promo Hawk'. Hillbilly Jim was a real hillbilly. Lawler took his theatrics to a whole new level in Memphis. Terry Gene Bollea was 'Da Real American'. Harry Fujiwara was a decorated sushi chef and would cook for the BSK. Sometimes he'd spike Rodney's food with laxatives. Double J got to Chuck about taking the Sweet Chin Music at SSeries94. The two men practiced the spot for hours and even danced around to With My Baby Tonight. Vince prepared plans for a terrorist stable which would include Mahal and Ali. It was only nixed when Linda convinced him it was poor taste. Bam Bam's favorite match was with Bret on a house show. In Tokyo Japan, Io Shirai was queen. She even outdrew AND beat Alpha Female clean for the title. She'd then dance around to the German national anthem. Mark Callaway was 'Da Phenom'. The Steiners were shooters. Irwin Shyster hated wrestling in a suit and braces. Sonny Onoo would 'crack, snapple AND pop' his opponent's legs.🧐 Candido shot on Horowitz when Barry used Chris's finishing move without calling it. Perry. Perry Saturn got hot and shot on a jobber. Vince got hot and gifted him the moppy gimmick. When Undertaker heard he was beating Hogan, clean for the title, he and Percy would dance around to Koko B Wares theme. Koke overheard and got to Vince. Mark and Percy met with Vince, and the pair were forced to explain and apologize to Koke, ALMOST nixing the title change. Rossy Ogawa got caught dancing around to the Stardom theme backstage one too many times. Bushiroad had had enough and sent him on his way. The 1993 Survivor Series main event was to be an unmasking match. The Hart family was supposed to unmask the Knights and reveal them for what they were. Vince nixed it at the last minute. Bret and Owen got pissed and went looking for McMahon after the PPV. They found him in his hotel room, dancing around to Stand Back with Jimmy Del Ray and Dr. Tom Pritchard. So they joined in.
I've seen this a few times and the speed at which Sid viciously and accurately upcuts jobbero with hockey punches (good, call Stevie!) is always striking to me. Sid is looking at Spivey because he knows Blackwell wasn't selling the clubbing shots from Spivey and he wants to know if he should turn it into a real fight. And when Spivet lays in with the left is just brutal! Big Dan The Left Hand Man proved his moniker!
@@VancouverInvestor LOL my friend dressed as a toilet bowl for wrestling that year. He and Gama were in the main event and after it was over, Bruce and Pillman took the cardboard seat and put Mike's head through it. Mike was a good sport!
Midnight Express vs. Wellington "Wee Willie" Wilkins and random guy was another "Local guy wants to be a star" match. It's not as offensive as the Blackwell match, but Wee Willie was definitely trying to get his stuff in.
I cant wait for the stevie reacts to james top ten stevie richards show thumbnail pics episode. Ive heard this story many times but it was cool hearing stevie breakdown the match.
The best of the old Crocket (WCW) enhancement talent was Rocky King "of the jobbers", George South (will rise again)and the Mulkey brothers (Mulkey mania is runnin wild). Man I miss enhancement talent. Those guys knew how to make other people look good and they were borderline hilarious.
I remember when Rocky King wrestled Flair on saturday morning tv. Flair was in a feud with Garvin. Flair beat king with the figure 4, but wouldn't let go, and Garvin came out to rescue King. I think King won b/c Flair didn't break the hold..if memory serves me correctly.
I remember the relatively unknown yet undefeated WCW wrestler Frank Andersson from the early 90's era saying that some of the jobbers he faced didn't want to sell or take bumps because they believed themselves to be better than him but he suplexed them anyway. He was a former Olympic medalist and multiple world champ amateur wrestler so it didn't bother him much if they acted like sandbags, he would throw them over his own head regardless if they collaborated or not. He said they have to sell for their own safety if he did the FranknSteiner on them though, otherwise their ears would get ripped off from their skull if they didn't dive forward. He claimed the move was actually partially named after him, not just the much more famous Steiner brother like everyone believes.
To be fair, they weren't trained, but still should have known something by then, and they did learn that night. This guy, though, did train and has no excuses.
Really great video showing how Dan spivey took charge and sid did what he could to be a good worker. Cause yeah Sid so was looking at spivey for what to do next. And gosh it's like he tried to do a jumping back elbow to sid's clothesline and just totally throws sid off balance for a basic run into a clothesline spot. Look one of the simplest rules for selling is majority of the time you shouldn't get up before the person giving the move, yeah there's exceptions like maybe someone gave a desperation german and is selling for longer and so you get up around the same time or slightly before but without a doubt you don't stand up like nothing happened before your opponent. And with them knowing spivy and sid do a powerbomb, why would you sandbag that? Why risk landing horribly and breaking your neck?
After he threw Blackwell out of the ring and he landed on his feet Sid is the one who says 'let's get him Danny.' During the match itself though he definitely looks a bit confused as to what's happening
When I was a kid a wrestled pillows and i understood i had to get a beating sometimes lol Gdp (Goose down pillow) was a savage and 2 time champ 😂ahh the memories
Ha ha, me and my friend did that too, tornado tag, I'd be getting beat up by the pillow and he'd "save" me, tackle that pillow and beat the shit out of it. :D
So in order to make yourself look good for people you know in the crowd you make yourself and the match you’re trying to have look bad? Yeah this went terribly lol.
In those days, a signature move was a FINISH! Guys didn’t kick out of them…ever, nevermind stand up immediately afterwards. Only Hogan and Warrior were on that level. WWE should make finishers matter again.
I have only heard a handful of people say, basically, "I had two finishers and I wouldn't use the good one if I wasn't booked to win" and it's just THAT GD SIMPLE.
@@KOHoxton while Corbin’s finisher has also been protected. Not many people actually care about his performance in the ring. Not saying he’s bad, just not main event.
You know what's funny? If I hadn't grown up watching '80s wrestling, I would've thought Mike Blackwell was just wrestling like everyone does nowadays - jumping up after every move like nothing happened. Stevie had to point out the old-school problems with his style! 🙂
A quick search about him made me shocked as he wasn't even on Cagematch. But he was on other sites. Michael Flood was born in 1964 and died in 2010. He wrestled some jobber matches until 1999 in a New Jersey indie called UWC.
You should try and get hold of Mike Blackwell. He did wrestle for a few years after this in a few Tag Teams. His other matches are fine.. I mean nothing great, but I've seen far worse (like this one!). This is the only side of the store we've never heard, and you guys could be the ones to get it.. if he's still around that is.
I don't believe he's around any more "Date of Birth, 21st August 1964 ; Date of Death, 25th January 2010 ; Barometer · 1 vote ; Alias, Bruiser Blackwell, Mike Blackwell, Mike Flood ; Tag Teams, Blackwell ..."
@@leeday2265 wait.. That also bills him as 6 foot 3 and over 400 pounds... I mean he didn't look 6 foot 3 to me.. There are also a few of his tag matches online and he definitely wasn't 400 pounds.
Not only did they get Avalanche wrong, they completely mistook the other wrestler. I don't know who Mike Blackwell is, but this is clearly Hulkoman Randy Hogan.
"I need to look good in front of my family and friends". Baha, basically the same thing Mass Transit said to New Jack, and we all saw how that turned out.
My favorite part is that jobber getting the hell beat out of him and Stevie slowing it down to say "LOOK THERE STILL WORKING WITH HIM".......🤣🤣🤣, If that's working with him I hate to see if they were shooting all the way through it!!
It's so weird because he's literally just standing up after each move, but he's standing there straight up and waits for the next move to hit him. He's not attempting to throw a punch or make a move or anything. If I didn't know that there was backstory or a reasoning behind it happening, I would've easily believed that he was straight out of a wrestling school that never taught him how to sell or the concept of selling, threw him in the ring and just told him "You're losing and these two are gonna kill you" and this is the end product.
I stood next to Sid once, and I’m 6’0 240, but he is just so physically intimidating, and I wasn’t even wrestling him. If those two men unload some full power shots on you, you play POSSUM!!! Can you do a video (unless you already made one and I missed it) on Victoria please? I absolutely LOVE her, and she is soooo underrated, but I know Stevie worked with her and I’d love to hear his input on her!
Time to create Mike Blackwell in all wrestling games and put all the belts on him.

The best of the old Crocket (WCW) enhancement talent was Rocky King "of the jobbers", George South (will rise again)and the Mulkey brothers (Mulkey mania is runnin wild). Man I miss enhancement talent. Those guys knew how to make other people look good and they were borderline hilarious.
I remember when Rocky King wrestled Flair on saturday morning tv. Flair was in a feud with Garvin. Flair beat king with the figure 4, but wouldn't let go, and Garvin came out to rescue King. I think King won b/c Flair didn't break the hold..if memory serves me correctly.
The Italian Stallion.
Man that suplex on the concrete floor on one of the mulkeys sounds by midnight express sounds absolutely brutal. Splat!
Good ol' Rocky King. He was great. And the Mulkeys, my god... I can't believe what rag dolls they were.
I agree on the Fire Pro characters, Stevie. They'll get choke-slammed from seven feet up, and just get up like nothing happened.
I remember the relatively unknown yet undefeated WCW wrestler Frank Andersson from the early 90's era saying that some of the jobbers he faced didn't want to sell or take bumps because they believed themselves to be better than him but he suplexed them anyway. He was a former Olympic medalist and multiple world champ amateur wrestler so it didn't bother him much if they acted like sandbags, he would throw them over his own head regardless if they collaborated or not. He said they have to sell for their own safety if he did the FranknSteiner on them though, otherwise their ears would get ripped off from their skull if they didn't dive forward. He claimed the move was actually partially named after him, not just the much more famous Steiner brother like everyone believes.
Haha that's rich but no way is it true. Andersson didn't even start wrestling until 1991 and Scott had already been using it for years by then.
This, and the "Smelly Guy vs Midnight Express" is some of the funniest shit ever from the old NWA WCW early years.
WAIT! Has Stevie reacted to the Jackass guys on WWE? I believe it was Steve-O and Pontius.
To be fair, they weren't trained, but still should have known something by then, and they did learn that night.
This guy, though, did train and has no excuses.
Really great video showing how Dan spivey took charge and sid did what he could to be a good worker. Cause yeah Sid so was looking at spivey for what to do next. And gosh it's like he tried to do a jumping back elbow to sid's clothesline and just totally throws sid off balance for a basic run into a clothesline spot. Look one of the simplest rules for selling is majority of the time you shouldn't get up before the person giving the move, yeah there's exceptions like maybe someone gave a desperation german and is selling for longer and so you get up around the same time or slightly before but without a doubt you don't stand up like nothing happened before your opponent. And with them knowing spivy and sid do a powerbomb, why would you sandbag that? Why risk landing horribly and breaking your neck?
Sid was still pretty green here. He probably had no clue what to do in this situation.
After he threw Blackwell out of the ring and he landed on his feet Sid is the one who says 'let's get him Danny.' During the match itself though he definitely looks a bit confused as to what's happening
Spivey getting out of the ring, but not before nailing Blackwell with that kick to the face.
Haha Ive been a wrestling fan for over 30 years and havent seen this - thanks for making me laugh my face off at this one, brilliant breakdown
Lol. I know this one. And to do it against Sid and Spivey.
That one shot, I need that voice over "that's the moment I knew i f*d up" 😂
Or ... "Yep. That's me. I bet you're wondering how I ended up in this situation..."
Steve Richard’s jobber extraordinaire along with the blue meenie!!
Jim Ross today on AEW absolutely would say "Well, he didn't bump, or sell... so... God damn..."
Great video, saying what is happening real time. Made me smile!!!! Fckn awesome
When I was a kid a wrestled pillows and i understood i had to get a beating sometimes lol Gdp (Goose down pillow) was a savage and 2 time champ 😂ahh the memories
Bruh that pillow should of hogan you it doesn’t work for me brother
Ha ha, me and my friend did that too, tornado tag, I'd be getting beat up by the pillow and he'd "save" me, tackle that pillow and beat the shit out of it. :D
We need this match in 4k
So in order to make yourself look good for people you know in the crowd you make yourself and the match you’re trying to have look bad? Yeah this went terribly lol.
Next can you do APA vs Public Enemy please? That's the greatest beatdown I've ever seen.
“Stop it! Stop it! He’s already dead!” (Crying)
James is thinking of Christopher Pike from Star Trek who could only communicate through Beeps, not Davros.
Love the show and thank you for all you do and talk about, Stevie! Keep it going! 🙂👏🍻
I think it was Danny Spivey who said this guy DID get it even worse in the back.
My parents went to UGA the same time Spivey did. He bounced at this bar called Allen's. People knew even then not to fuck with Spivey.
In those days, a signature move was a FINISH! Guys didn’t kick out of them…ever, nevermind stand up immediately afterwards. Only Hogan and Warrior were on that level. WWE should make finishers matter again.
One-winged angel. Extremely protected finish.
I have only heard a handful of people say, basically, "I had two finishers and I wouldn't use the good one if I wasn't booked to win" and it's just THAT GD SIMPLE.
It's been like this since the attitude era
@@prufrock1977i think more people has kicked out of that than end of days from baron corbin lol. Corbin did a great job with that finish.
@@KOHoxton while Corbin’s finisher has also been protected. Not many people actually care about his performance in the ring. Not saying he’s bad, just not main event.
Antonio Inoki vs Great Antonio….
Inoki almost took his head off
The buzz sawyer line killed me. Haha
This is magic. Love Stevie's reaction to Hulk Blackwell getting up after every bump.
You know what's funny? If I hadn't grown up watching '80s wrestling, I would've thought Mike Blackwell was just wrestling like everyone does nowadays - jumping up after every move like nothing happened. Stevie had to point out the old-school problems with his style! 🙂
That is why I quit watching wrestling because of that.
Can't believe you missed the kick to the face as Spivy was coming off the apron!
You didn’t cover the gorilla ad at the end? Thats the chefs kiss of the clip.
A quick search about him made me shocked as he wasn't even on Cagematch. But he was on other sites. Michael Flood was born in 1964 and died in 2010. He wrestled some jobber matches until 1999 in a New Jersey indie called UWC.
You're telling me this guy was in his mid-twenties here? Good lord.
OMFG STEVIE LOL the Hamburglar comment
You should try and get hold of Mike Blackwell. He did wrestle for a few years after this in a few Tag Teams. His other matches are fine.. I mean nothing great, but I've seen far worse (like this one!). This is the only side of the store we've never heard, and you guys could be the ones to get it.. if he's still around that is.
I don't believe he's around any more "Date of Birth, 21st August 1964 ; Date of Death, 25th January 2010 ; Barometer · 1 vote ; Alias, Bruiser Blackwell, Mike Blackwell, Mike Flood ; Tag Teams, Blackwell ..."
@@leeday2265 ug.. Didn't see that. Unfortunate. RIP
@@leeday2265 wait.. That also bills him as 6 foot 3 and over 400 pounds... I mean he didn't look 6 foot 3 to me.. There are also a few of his tag matches online and he definitely wasn't 400 pounds.
I think he’s dead.
@@leeday2265 That's Bruiser Blackwell. He was billed as being 475lbs. He's not the same guy.
LMAOO Stevie's commentary makes this so hilarious, I needed this laugh.
I believe this is what the late great Iron Sheik would call "making you HUMBLEeee" LOL
3:21 *Seth Rollins laugh intensifies*
I'm thinking back to my days in Wrestling School and I'm like yeah, that should be shown to everyone on what not to do 😂
This was great!!
Stevie, if I could be half the wrestler you were I’d be ecstatic, you’re one of the greats that never got their just due.
Not only did they get Avalanche wrong, they completely mistook the other wrestler. I don't know who Mike Blackwell is, but this is clearly Hulkoman Randy Hogan.
More Stevie breakdowns!!
8:50
Dan Spivey once punched Adrian Adonis so hard his cheek bone was showing.
And Adonis was legit tough in his own right (pretty out of shape and strung out on cocaine at that time, though). Blackwell was a world-class moron.
Hey guys! Love the show!
When Spivey first gives him that belly-to-belly, the jobber actually gets up first! 😂
Spivey could have hurt him real bad if he wanted to
I think Spivey did hurt real bad after the match
Im sure he did...
@ True. But I don’t know if he got the full Adonis treatment
"I need to look good in front of my family and friends". Baha, basically the same thing Mass Transit said to New Jack, and we all saw how that turned out.
It was me Austin! It was Mike Blackwell all along Austin!
Skyscrapers were cool as hell. The last team you want to resist and play tough with
Blackwell looks like the brother of Dwayne Gill from when he teamed with Barry Hardy. Arguably, some of the best job workers around in the early 90s.
Dan Spivey was not to be trifled with.
Adrian Adonis when he was alive could attest to that
Yeah, and from what I have read, Spivey wasn’t just a badass, he also had worked as muscle for the shady element down in FL before wrestling.
I'll never get sick of watching this 😂
Mike "Waingro" Blackwell. - "Spivey was making a move! I had to get it on!"
+1 for the Heat reference!
My favorite part is that jobber getting the hell beat out of him and Stevie slowing it down to say "LOOK THERE STILL WORKING WITH HIM".......🤣🤣🤣, If that's working with him I hate to see if they were shooting all the way through it!!
Bringing up fire pro wrestling was amazing
It's so weird because he's literally just standing up after each move, but he's standing there straight up and waits for the next move to hit him. He's not attempting to throw a punch or make a move or anything.
If I didn't know that there was backstory or a reasoning behind it happening, I would've easily believed that he was straight out of a wrestling school that never taught him how to sell or the concept of selling, threw him in the ring and just told him "You're losing and these two are gonna kill you" and this is the end product.
I stood next to Sid once, and I’m 6’0 240, but he is just so physically intimidating, and I wasn’t even wrestling him. If those two men unload some full power shots on you, you play POSSUM!!! Can you do a video (unless you already made one and I missed it) on Victoria please? I absolutely LOVE her, and she is soooo underrated, but I know Stevie worked with her and I’d love to hear his input on her!
That second shot from sid was nasty. There was a lot of body in that, that hurt.
