Earthquake squashes Damien

[generalgrievous92]

In reality, Roberts' bag — one of two left at ringside for the match — contained pantyhose stuffed with hamburger, and a small motor to simulate a "live snake

[melvinceltic]

Jake looks like he's struggling to make it look like he was truly tied in the ropes rather than trying to escpae, haha - all he had to do was pull his arm out......how the fuck did I ever believe this was real, 10 years old or not i'm ashamed of myslf!!

[mrzackamaniac]

he didn't really squash the snake they placed two bags under the ring, if he really squashed it he would've just squashed it.

[dUmNeAmEa1]

watch?v=6CTlgEKO5Z4 uncut version

[unorthodoxtrotsky]

I remember seeing this back then. God, I remember wanting to kill Earthquake for his action.

[LOVINCASH703]

Damn Mean Gene!

[ir10031981]

it serves Jake the Snake right, it's time he suffered the way he made Andre suffer, if Andre didn't squash Damien, at least Earthquake did.

[panero718]

lol @ M.Gene

[youngTaharka]

i remember this like yesterday classic

[tomlott]

this is back when the WWF started going down hill. the angles made no sense and had no continuity.

ex: hogan loses belt to undertaker only to win it back 2 days later, only to have tunney strip him of the belt. someone who bought both PPV's got ripped off as none of it mattered. jake is face, then heal weeks later with no explination. just goes bad cuz he felt like it? big build up to a jake/warrior fued just dropped as warrior is fired. all the flair/hogan buildup thrown in the trash for WM8

[semicorrect]

The Brooklyn Brawler's face had a good run, but Mean Gene's grimace at 2:59 should be the new censor image. WHO'S WITH ME?

[ToonandBBfan]

Jake sold this angle really well. RIP John Tenta

[JRC2639]

@Steelerguy6178 Then don't watch. That simple

[johnissoevil]

About two or three weeks earlier, Ultimate Warrior's life was spared after he was locked in a casket by Taker. Damien wouldn't be so lucky.

[TheWaviest]

LOL Those cuts to Mean Gene have me dying!

[Barcdog420]

Stick a fork in Damien, he is done.

[TheDylangross58]

ah man new tosh.o is on

[xXxGildartxXx]

are you serious....this fake shit got on the news

[TheDylangross58]

@xXxGildartxXx it got on wwf news. not the actual news

[metalligimp]

It's such a shame Jake's career went to crap...he was such a good performer back in the day. And R.I.P. John Tenta (aka Earthquake).

[Van2Dan]

Then like 3 mo.nts later Jake "The Snake" Roberts became a heel. And he and Earthquake was on the same team at the Survivor Series

[datdudein702]

I was at this show...can remember this like yesterday

[DPEART6475]

@datdudein702 --What city was the show at?

[datdudein702]

@DPEART6475 las vegas nv. thomas and mack center.it was a house show. i remember they aired jake vs earthquake on Superstars,and the rest of the matches came on a vhs tape i think it was called " wwf world tour 92"? the main event at that show was savage vs rick martel. i was excited cause shawn michaels was my favorite then and it was my 1st show live and 1st time seeing him live. he opened the show vs tatanka

[mattjackson37]

is there at least 1 vid of earthquake crushing damien UNCENSORED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CHLOEMiLYx3]

omg i watched that loads of times and saw it geting squashed

[superbuu990]

of course the snake wasnt there if he was he wouldve jumped

[Marcelbox1]

i love snakes but i hate spiders

[groenlink]

reliving my youth!

[kljklfdi50]

They did

[mekishiko1919]

that is fucking cruel

[TrueTalkTV]

Am I mistaken, or did they actually SHOW Quake landing on the bag @ one point? As I kid I could've sworn they showed it.

[texasguy10209]

@TrueTalkTV No, you are correct. You have to remember this was early 90's when things like this one was not acceptable, but anyway it was shown on late night. I believe here it Houston the show came from 10:30 PM-12 am Saturday nights. It was WWF Superstars. I believe it was censored out on WWF Challenge which came out Saturday morning, so I believe this was a week later when they talked about it.

I do remember watching it. Good old rivalries of wrestling unlike today's trash tv.

[FemmeChocolat1]

3:16 -----> Aaaaaaaw...

[HowTingz]

ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!

ARE YOU SERIOUS MEAN GENE?????

[KMIN1994]

@METALBEST1 WOAH wtf is wrong is with you there wasn't even a snake in there you fucking idiot damien did'nt even die but earthquake John Tenta was a REAL HUMAN BEING A FUCKING LIVING BREATHING MAN you kind of special aren't you

[t190snakecharmer]

lol i couldnt leave without making a comment..my comment is........no comment

[Delta2kx1]

GOD DAMN YOU MEAN GEAN, STILL GANGSTA THOU

[joessj5]

gaaa this is gay, why dont they just show it?

[wwechristianpeep4lfe]

thank god

[franciswhizzite]

3:45 Classic Mean Gene reporting LOL

[KittyaAliaa117]

ùhm_I_fÊel_sÔ_lÕÑÉlý_tøDâÿ

[Sanchez417]

@orange8723 ur a fuckin moron. Jake put it down there everyone knows that there wasn't a snake in the bag that Earthquake "squashed". Moron.

[1787dude]

he killed damien noooooooooooooo

[historybuff4]

Did Damien's character survive?

[greatestgoalie25]

@historybuff4: For a guy/gal with the name historybuff, this Q makes me laugh a little, no offence. No, "Damien" died, and Jake got a new, bigger snake which he called Lucifer.

[emperor142]

@greatestgoalie25- I've been a fan of this since I was little. I alway appreciated this and yes, a person with the name "historybuff4" making that kind of comment is kind of funny. And no offense taken.

[666rocko]

this shows how awsome jake was,he took somthing that could of been so silly and actualy made you care,

[DAPDave]

lol. How they change the camera shot to Mean Gene's face is classic.

[orange8723]

Its fake why did Earthquake put Damien in the bottom of the ring...? so there is a man inside that replaces the bag with other so no snake was harmed during this event thumbs up if you agree...

[sanchachi420]

@orange8723 um duh do your homework. there was no snake in the bag to begin with. Jake put it down there because they were working an angle where earthquake was trying to steal and kill the snake

[SuperMarshmallow21]

did he died?

[teddykgb33160]

hahahahaha mean gene

[wwfRundmc]

poor damien

[METALBEST1]

I hate to earthquake killed damien son of a bitch I'm glad he died

[standbyemusic]

@METALBEST1 wow you're dumb as hell.

[bubba711797]

sucks for damien



[calixa]

how do you like that jake the snake?

watch the follow up video when Earthquake serves up snake burgers.

[n2kmaster]

Whats the exact date this happened?

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

@n2kmaster The match was taped on March 26, 1991; it aired on April 27, 1991.

[funforalgernon]

It was a bag full of ground beef!

[JuJuMJFan4life]

You know when I first saw this on TV i cried like a baby cause i thought Damien was awesome. Then these STUPID wrestling people want to show it again for what reason I don't know.....uh cause they some IDIOTS. Do ya'll have any idea what watching something like this does to a child. C'mon use ya'll heads idiots.

[madridlover22]

Real snake!

[MoqtadaAlSadir]

This is why Jake the Snake did heroin!

[enyart91]

3:12 great acting

[scchrisdavidson]

Is Jimmy Hart eating the referee?

[darule514]

RIP Earthquake

RIP Damien

[undergroundz3nitroca]

R.I.P earthquake

[lilkinney2q]

what if he bite his butt off? XD

[jjschneider10]

How the fuck is this entertaining if we can't see it?

[BeverlyHills2ndGen]

@jjschneider10: The fact that you can't see it is the point! They're implying that its SO heinous they're not legally allowed to show it on TV, which made people really hate Earthquake.

[phuong6936]

RIP Earthquake!

[32rodrick]

That Snake is Real.

[tscotwv]

If you read Jake's wiki article under 1991-1992 section, it tells about this feud and the contents of the bag was actually hamburger stuffed in pantyhose, with a small motor to make it moveable. No snake was harmed during this event.

[DarkMoonGeneral]

@tscotwv

Oh I wasnt aware of that. i feel better knowing that. Thank you for the info :)

[GOR225]

@tscotwv Yaaaaaaay

[italianhero619]

fake snake

[ChristianHolloway]

ha ha i remember this.

[DarkMoonGeneral]

God that is cruel of Earthquake. One Damien is not a wrestler two he is an animal and his body cant take that weight. I hope Earthquake got DQed. That was just wrong.

[LivingIn1969]

@DarkMoonGeneral r u fucking retarded, did u see any movement from that bag, jesus christ how dumb is youtube getting, is common sense not in effect in this world anymore, ur fuckin dumb kid

[DarkMoonGeneral]

@LivingIn1969

Ok Im not a kid so dont talk down to me, and if something that big fell on you would you move? I didnt see movement but do you think the snake he always took out of the bag was fake?I thought Damien was in there perhaps he wasnt but you dont have to be rude and use swear words to say that. Grow you and just say no it wasnt Damien not am I retarded you jerk. God youtube will let any jackass be rude to people could you have said it in a mature way instead of looking like an ass.

[LivingIn1969]

@DarkMoonGeneral ok, i can tell you're a female so lemme apologize for using harsher words than u r used to but c'mon, do u actually believe that the wwf would let a man kill a snake, it's all an act, if damien was in the bag for real, jake would have gotten his ass up from that pathetic excuse for a rope hold, and would have taken the snake and ran the fuck outta the building.

[biglelandfan]

wrestling was better back then , i was young an didnt no it was all fake i really thought the snake died lol

[SeanOBriain]

I remember this. I'm old :(

[MrHBKHBKHBK]

hameberger meat!!

[CrushingC10996WM]

i bet the snake wasnt in there

[domirules28]

i remember this like it happened yesterday...i was 7 at the time, and this was what brought out the evil in jake leading to first his new snake lucifer, and then his pledge of the words "trust me" to mark his heel turn after attacking the ultimate warrior with the king cobra...

[geneva1999]

@domirules28 Ya, I was like 9 when this happened and was so sad for the snake. But Jake's Heel turn was the best ever! His promos and hype against the Undertaker for WM was great. For the first time ever someone was a lot scarier and twisted than the Undertaker and wasn't even close to being affriad of him. And his cobra that attack the warrior and macho man was great.

[jrmenard630]

lol they used to come up with some sick angles didnt they?? And they all sold it so well, too, from Jake himself to Vince to Mene Gene. Pro wrestling used to be such an art-form

[OZIASALLAH]

classic 

[gtz1975]

Of course about a decade later the Big Boss Man takes Al Snow's dog and turns it into a type of dinner entree and makes Al Snow eat it!

[Trackball816]

According to the late great John Tenta (who played Earthquake), what he actually squashed was pantyhose stuffed with hamburger meat.

I heard there was also a small motor in the bag to make it move a little, but I'm not sure on that.

Still, this wasn't the kind of wrestling storyline you'd expect to see in 1989.

[Kiel9382]

Holy cow, I actually remember watching this when I was 7 and thinking "OMG he killed that snake!!!"

[howardtheman]

They should make more stories like this one in 2010.

[laggerg]

They would have faced all kinds of animal cruelty lawsuits if that snake was actually killed.

[mjnab115]

wasnt it cheesburgers and a hose

[faragozaj]

i was ten years old and crying on the couch for damien and jake the snake....lol....man those were the days of GOOD story lines and REAL entertainment. i couldnt wait to get to school the next day and talk about it...lol....

[HonorableMinisterRay]

I hope you kids know this is fake. You have no business watching this!

[MegaSpiderMan]

@HonorableMinisterRay

First of all, it isn't "Fake", it's scritped. There's a difference.

And second of all, these are memories here! You can't say that some people shouldn't watch them!

[HonorableMinisterRay]

@MegaSpiderMan It is fake kid. You have no business putting these images in your mind. Grow up!!

[MegaSpiderMan]

@HonorableMinisterRay

I looked at your name after I posted that comment, and now that I have, I'm just gonna shut up and drop it.

[HonorableMinisterRay]

@MegaSpiderMan Wise choice kid.............wise choice.

[FTI2]

@HonorableMinisterRay idiot. I agree whole-heartedly with @MegaSpiderMan these are memories. Wrestling is entertainment. Who cares if it lived. Its dead by now. its a snake. Also its highy unlikely we would all go squish snakes and enjoy it. Besides, they go squish anyways from the environment amongst other things. So Minister, i could go on how God is fake and youd bitch about that. I doubt your a real minister anyway. Just some poser. So with that i say Really @HonorableMinisterRay ? Really?

[FTI2]

@HonorableMinisterRay you r a fake, fucking nigger go to hell.

[taekwon3000]

@FTI2  You sound intelligent in your other reply to HonorableMinisterRay until your racist ignorance comes out and in a flash sound as if you are a inbred retarded hick.

[FTI2]

@taekwon3000 wow considering this is like months old, im not even going to comment. Big deal, im not THAT racist, i just hate Obama and all governments in the world. As for wrestling, its only entertainment. Quit acting like its THE REAL DEAL cus it isnt.

[taekwon3000]

@FTI2 I hate the Government too but the majority of them running this country are white so you probably hate your own race as well.

[tenebre911]

@taekwon3000 what does race have to do with the government?? man idiots like you are why we get laughed at by the rest of the world....grow up already

[taekwon3000]

@tenebre911 The majority of the Government is white you inbred retard. Quit acting like this world is all rainbowish and gay you faggot. If you look at many of the population control methods applied world wide, the makor target is brown and black people. And who do you think occupied the countries the US targeted after planning 911? Obviously not Israel who were the ones involved in the 911 plot. What race are they? Obviously white, you idiot.

[goldsmith1210]

@taekwon3000 You fucking morons. This is a wrestling video. Shut the fuck up.

[taekwon3000]

@goldsmith1210 Go f'k off you lamp shade motherfucker. Go play in a oven or something god damn shyster.

[taekwon3000]

@tenebre911 Why dont u tell that to the other guy who was ranting racist shit about blacks because Obama is black. Oh that is right, you are a inbred white KKK hick you cock sucker. Its okay to be racist against blacks but when one mentions racism and white in the same sentence than that is when you get defensive. You retarded redneck. Fuck you motherfucking hypocrite n go burn a cross in your backyard. What is funny is how obvious u make it you stupid fuck.

[EastBaySupra]

I was about 8 whwn i saw this. I was one of the weird kids that likes the heels. Im a big ravishing rick rude and mr perfect fan. If onlynthey were out now, theyd be the shit, aaaaaall u facebook fatasses, youtube yaks, and cyber sweathogs, shut ur mouth and see what a real man looks like.... Haha classic

[NotIkeman]

@EastBaySupra I was 6 when I saw it, and I was always the same way. I loved the heels as a kid, too.

[Djteedoe420]

i remember watching this incendent with earthquake squashing damien on superstars that saturday morning. "Wow" that was crazy...

[corliv]

if wrestling is for fags why you watching are you gay

[ihatejonspencer]

Wrestling is for white trash fags!!

[hitman1345able]

why u think the bag went under the ring cozz john eartquake could take a different bag from under the ring

[hitman1345able]

why u think the bag went under the ring cozz john eartquake could take a different bag from under the ring

[ylwapple45]

SAUSAGES!? That explains why I don't remember seeing the bag move when I was a kid. haha...SPLAT.

[chaysemaster12]

even though ppl say it wasnt the actual snake how come jake had a different snake after this

[owaisinus]

the reason was that Damien died at that time and thats why he brought the new snake named Lucipher...

[showstopper316]

@owaisinus did damien really die? i believe that there was no snake in the bag, but i kinda wonder why the snakes kept on changin with jake

[owaisinus]

@showstopper316 damien died due to some other reason... there were sausages in the bag and not snakes... at the time damien was dead, so wwf used a storyline of earthquake squashing damien in the bag to end his run in wwf and that gave an opportunity for jake roberts to bring in a new snake named Lucipher...

[showstopper316]

@owaisinus dang, i didn'tknow damien really diied... RIP Damien

[Ken9284]

I'm surprised PEDA or other types of animal rights activitists didn't go ape shit over this.

[bigwurm27]

u mean PETA

[ryanc22]

it was only about 1991, the whole peta/animal activist BS wasn't really in full swing by then.

[Necrocide187]

I used to have that WWF Magazine w/The Undertaker on the front,a really good article on the Deadman!

[owaisinus]

there was no snake in the bag, as you could notice nothing was moving inside the bag... everything was an act...

[RandomVillain]

OMG ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Great detective work there Captain No Shit!

[owaisinus]

this incident is mentioned in wikipedia on jake robert's profile... it was a bag full of sausages...

[spaceman1979]

I asked John "Earthquake" Tenta hiself on his wrestlecrap forum before he died about this and you are right it was a sausage.

[mcog2006]

It couldn't have Damien, because if it was, then there'd be blood.

[temptationofmemories]

ha mene gene's shake of the head after the second time was really funny I laughed out loud at it

[thevideoman9]

didnt jake get revenge for this?

[dominiclamar1]

I was a kid when I saw this and I remember wanting to cry seeing Damien get Earthquake splashes to him. Golden age of wrestling lol

[SonnyAMan]

Oh yeah. It was a stocking stuffed with sausage meat.

[SonnyAMan]

R.I.P. John "Earthquake" Tenta...

[dakota1400]

you can tell there is no snake...or the snake would've been moving

[journeythruthepast]

Jake's character a few months later became so evil he probably would've had a backup snake and made it bite Earthquake in the face and then he'd DDT him onto a steel chair and slap the referee for not stopping Quake in the first place. But back in spring of 1991, he still had a heart. I guess Quake made him lose his faith in people and turn into a must untrustworthy character. Ah, Warrior deserved it anyway. Needing help to stop the Taker. What kind of warrior needs help from a snakeman?

[zachwhacko]

Good thing earthquake's dead. what a dick.

[EncinoBoy]

i loved it when wrestlers used to get trapped like that, when all they had to do was turn thier arms

[funkysnoogans]

Man Earthquake good move pretty quickly for someone his size. RIP

[Evilology2011]

Back in the 90's the most vilolent thing i seen was actualy on two i should say. Savage getting bit by the cobra and warrior getting locked in the casket..the best scene from that was when they opened the coffin up and the warrior is lying in it unconcious...i unno but i think hewas supposed to look like he was dead..

[taekwon3000]

@Evilology2011 1991 was the hardcore era for old WWF. Macho Man getting bit by a cobra, Ultimate Warrior locked in a casket, Sergent Slaughter hitting Hogan with a fireball, Bret Hart getting electrocuted by Mountie's rod after having water pour on him, UYndertaker and Warrior having "bodybag" matches on house shows, Hogan bleeding from chair shots against Slaughter, that was a dark and gloomy year to say the least.

[Sanguiluna]

People complain about WWE being rated PG today, shit, back then they considered a clip of a dude landing on a bag too violent!

[taekwon3000]

@Sanguiluna Back then it was more psychological and seem more real. But you are too idiotic to understand this.

[Sanguiluna]

@taekwon3000 No; just too smart to be fooled by the WWF into actually thinking there was a snake in there. But I bet you thought there was a snake in there when you watched it, didn't you? *pats head*

[taekwon3000]

@Sanguiluna Yeah considering that was just a kid. So fucking what?

[frostedcrown]

fake snake. They would get sued otherwise.

[malfoy2]

Hamburger shoved in pantyhose.

[cole003f]

@frostedcrown if they killd a real snake

wwe could've been put out of business from it

[carchavtube]

@cole003f

Hello PETA?!

[kazama8989]

@frostedcrown and earthquake would have got his ass beat on national TV

[WeDieYoung1083]

@frostedcrown Gee, you think? idiot.

[RayNDeere]

@frostedcrown Jake later said it was raw hamburger stuffed in pantyhose

[nu2life80]

This was hamburger stuffed in Nylons.. If you looik like the next week, they are BBQing hamburgers with pieces of "Damien"... Kind of a sick inside joke for the boys I guess.

[hpnc]

this was so sad when i saw it as a youngster :(

[lilvick8]

if u look closely it was 2 bags under the ring he got the second 1

[tommyaquinas]

When Earthquake squashed the snake i was close to tears as a kid. Really made me unhappy. So funny looking back

[Greg4fun]

that bag never moved.. there was definately no snake in that bag

[RavenRemi]

he really kill the snakle ?! Oo'

[happyjoe4ever]

Nobody could deliver the news like Mean Gene!  Should have been an anchor on Headline news or something instead of all these wimps that try and act so smart.

[ricardobq666]

Is this true? In Wikipedia, Earthquake actually squashed in the sack a hamburger stuffed in a pantyhose with a little motor to make it a live snake. Is that true? I'm just asking.

[ShaunDobbie1andonly]

if this is true then it didn't work because i didn't see that bag move.

[EwkRocks]

yep.

[maynya]

actually no its not only parts of it are

[edvhou812]

Dammit! It's real! Everyone knows that John Cena trains hard so that he can beat his opponents! You all are just....mean! Trying to ruin it for me! It's real. Santa is real too....

[maynya]

NO ITS NOT NOT ALL OF IT IS REAL GROW UP

[CraigJericho]

I remember this.Most of the kids even the grown-ups were crying

[QuentinDude]

i remember being traumatized as kid watching this lolz....this and when jake the snake had his snake bite randy savage's arm lolz

[temptationofmemories]

oh yeah I forgot about both of those moments until watching this. It's actually amazing they let him bring a real snake to the ring at all. These days you'd get sued for animal cruelty and there'd be saftey regulations stopping it

[goblinman7]

Good old Earthquake makin some pancake burgers lol.

[MrUncleSlam]

The way Jake was sobbing, you'd have thought that sack was filled with booze.

[violentwilliam]

LOL man that is cold..... funny... but cold

[jbTUBEny]

on Jake's DVD "Pick Your Poison", they show the uncensored version of this.

[teeshirtsaretootight]

Wikipedia says it was "a length of pantyhose filled with hamburger meat" and not Damien. Funny to think Jake was actually that upset about Quake assing some burgers.
