John Tammaro Leeds Leeds Leeds.

Super, Super Leeds, Super Super Leeds, Super Super Leeds.....

He was actually from Wigan, but i'm Leeds too so we'll take him over Big Daddy all day.

John Tammaro cool story bro

he's a pie eater

cheers mate

thank you!

Jaems Harilie That might have been after Summerslam 92 where Animal told a story that he burnt his leg from the motorcycle he drove to the ring. Makes sense to me

ceepeepee82

its very fitting that the top comment here is about Big Daddy lol not Davey Boy

Way over estimating but he was their closest thing to a Hogan I get that

DaChronical a little bit of everything!! Saturdays on ITV haha good days

EASY! EASY! EASY!

Kendo Nagasaki and Johnny Saint on the undercards were epic too.

Yeah, I've heard that Virgil is a real piece of human excrement.

Virgil tryin to rack up that "fuck money"

Well he wouldn’t have made much from merchandise 👀

You paid Virgil

I gave Him 15 bucks for a nice signed photo and a pic..Wasnt too bad, Dont mi d paying a little for a pic photo and auto but when its at a show and U run into them, thats b.s! I Hung outside a WCW House Show In Rock Hill SC in July 1996 with Eddie Guerrero! He signed Autographs for My friends n I and chatted for a good hour! It was dark b4 he left. P.E, Haku also came by and signed..Awesome day!

Mike K its a beefeater bruce is dressed as

Ben Nah mate, it's Queens Guard who wear the bearskins. Don't try to look clever if you don't know what you're talking about.

Didlos, the pair of you

When Bulldog went up against The Warlord he put on a much better match (As did Warlord) then anyone could have predicted with 2 Roidy McGoo's going at it.

They couldn't trust him. I loved Bulldog he couldn't keep his shit together. I thought he should have had another I.C. run. He never got over on Shawn..96 would have been the time.

He really wasn't all that great on the muc..

uc95nu51 With all the cool podcasts out there to get deep into, it must be great being a truck driver. In the old days I’m sure it was just local radio and besides Howard Stern and Opie and Anthony, the pickings were slim.

dandjedi There are alot of openings in the field of truck driving if you need a job.

Careful baby

David Bevans Bruce has to go in next year

David Bevans he needs to go and so does Jim Johnston.

Redskins Banks It’s shite.

Yeah, Bruce is so full of shit on this one. A story? They didn't do anything with Davey Boy after that!

fmthebaron HBK ran his fucking mouth and got his ass kicked. HBK is a known asshole and bully. He’s lucky, could of got his brain put to sleep with a lead injection

It was brutal and wrestlers had little respect and made little money.

Because everyone after this decade are pussies

@@hitek9too255 they made very good money for the time

the yards were hard because of people like davey boy and dynamite

Some days these guys barely made cash for gas and a pizza- some ducking angry fans trying to kill them and vandalize their cars. Much has changed since. Now guys like John Cena and Seth Rollins can ride comfy on planes , eat well and stay at nice hotels while surrounded by an entourage

Swoll826 😂

Agreed. Much bigger drop than Luger.

You can't be on top forever. Bundy was an attraction and he was put in an attraction match.

I wonder if it was in the agreement with creative if Bundy could squash a midget like he did!

I think going into the wm main event as a face is much higher than an obvious one shot monster heel run with Hogan.

paul k big shocker, but the state of the current product speaks for itself

It's cuz Bruce is Vinny boy's puppet. He'll never say a bad thing on any of them, he might not always defend em -when there was no way to defend in any possible way- but he'll always be that corporate kiss-ass. If you wanna hear the balance or the McMahonless side of a story, listen to Jim Cornette...

for what it's worth a year later I'm watching this again and yeah I totally agree with you sir.

@RyuHayabusa751 That's certainly how I remember it. Even during the match they were occasionally showing Diana Smith and commenting on where her allegiances lay.

Yeah it was weird. Especially at that time.

That would've been a 'once in a lifetime' moment

I saw that match too in Cleveland at a house show. Luger went to WCW shortly after that.

As a 15year old then former wrestling fan and cynic, with no build up a nothing match, knowing they wouldn't put the belt on a non-North-American, multiple times I thought Davey was winning. Was so into it. Typical Bret.

D Cavalli “He fell on his fookin’ arse!”

Official Something To Wrestle with Bruce Prichard Virgil for HOF..will you do an episode on Virgil?

Brian James hahahaha so true

He should have been there at least a decade ago

Bulldog doesn't deserve to be in the HOF.

Thomas Zerbst why

Jumped over Orton and as soon as he hits the ropes he goes down. Carrer over December 13th 1986. Even though he lasted years after was never the same. I know Dynamite was pissed later on saying the back injury was Davey's fault.

@@joshuamack342 hey. I wrote that comment 2 years ago. Sad to say the GOAT passed away. He remains and will always be my favorite of all time. Now, you're right, he was pissed at Davey. Maybe you know some of the reasons but in case someone else is reading our exchange and doesn't, let me just say, Dynamite tortured Davey something atrocious and horrible. He might try to say it was hazing. Whatever. Nevertheless Dynamite was the first official British Bulldog. He was the first of his clan to be trained and Davey followed him. Daveys wife Diana had the genius to trademark the Bulldog name, fair play to her. And well never know all the reasons for their family fracturing. But years later when Dynamite was working the insanely extremely dead UK indy circuit and there were flyers in pubs and around small towns with Dynamite pictured and the word "British Bulldog Dynamite Kid" well Davey, with his 6 figure contracts all the way out in Calgary heard about this and had people threaten all kind of things to the small indy promoters not to call Dynamite the British Bulldog. Some kind of barrister or some form of law even came to Dynamite personally to warn him about it. The guy was barely making 10 pounds broken down brawling Fit Finlay and Alex Wrights dad in front of crowds of 10 to 20 people like a human cockfight and Davey, who was not the original Bulldog, was bitter enough to go after him for it. Davey came to town once in the early 90s after doing that to Dynamite. Dynamite came looking for him and Davey refused to see him. But more than that, much more is this. Dynamite, aside from his kids, maybe loved only 1 person, his dad. His dad was his everything. His dad was brother to Daveys mom. They were close as siblings could be. Dynamite also said, and it's hard to believe, considering, that Dynamites dad never cussed a day in his life and yet as he lay dying in hospice, having not spoken to his sister for years because of their children's feud... and the sister not seeing him when he was sick, well with Dynamite by his father's bedside a call came from the sister it was the only time Dynamite ever saw his dad cuss in his entire life when he told the person holding the phone to tell his sister to basically go F herself. Incredible! It's good reasons to be angry I think but I don't think Dynamite is lying about the injury to have further twisted the knife. I am gonna find the link and post it here for anyone interested. It is the same exact bump that put HBK out for 3 or 4 years. HBK got hurt at the 98 Royal Rumble and stayed off the injury until WrestleMania and then dropped the belt to Austin and his career was over for 3 years or more. Dynamite finished that match, had another match the same night. More Japan matches, 20 hour flights and grueling territory days wrestling then an early to mid 80s booming WWF run, nothing but insane further punishment to a crippling injury so that when the back gave out something as simple as hitting the ropes did it.

Wow you seem to have alot of inside info. About the injury though clear if you look at the ring, meaning the one in Japan were the injury first happened you can see there is an over hang when Davey suplexed Dynamite out of the ring. Always wondered if they discussed that, cause seems like Dynamite would have gone over that with Davey. I heard Diana say they called Tom about trademarking the name and he just laughed at them. Pretty shitty to go after Tom when he was struggling like that, he couldn't hurt Davey or his Contract. You said his kids and dad but I always heard that Tom loved his MOM very much. Question ....Do you know if Mania 3 was his first match back after the injury? I've seen pics of him about three weeks before Mania at home and I was shocked at how thin he looked. He definitely put some muscle on his frame in those three week's. Davey besides the early days 80-88 looked good no where near Tom's body but when he came back he always looked bloated to me. He must of got addicted to the roids and the way he looked. Still amazes me how quickly his body just broke down. At the end of the day he was still the greatest wrestler in the world!!! Thanks for getting back to me. .....

He was so in bad shape, no cardio to last long and high risk of missed spots, but Bret saved the match and Davey popularity!

SSJR Black i thought the same but think it was his mic skills that held him back

Ben Thats why they should have did it when cornette was with him

Chad Justice yea it would of worked better Davy really stumbled over his words but he was from Wigan tho ha

Sounds like a LJN wrestling game for Genesis or Super NES.

There were some UK Computer games by Ocean that used similar graphics to Wrestlefest, and had some of those characters (Bulldog, Warlord, others I'm forgetting), I heard they were pretty crappy though.

Leon Black They actually did make an updated version for mobile phones. Same game just current stars

I live in the uk and had the ocean Wrestlemania game as a kid. It was pretty much those characters. Using a joystick to grapple was a nightmare. Waggling it as fast as you can for 30 seconds....my mum hated it as you could hear the clicky rumble of locking up through the ceiling!

I wish they'd do a version of that for every year - WWF and WCW

I need a kurt angle episode.. Jusr hearing everyone praise his in ring talents... And how it came natural.. Wouldn't mind hearing an entire episode about his csreer

Jamie theman think your mom had a crush.
