Tully Blanchard vs. Dusty Rhodes Barbed Wire Ladder Match

[bababooey2006]

Tommy Young did all the big matches.

[bababooey2006]

One of the most brutal matches in the squared circle.

tommy young!!!



[MrTony5107]

i remember this. i was 10 years old. my brother was 3. we were here for this

[fidgetstick]

@ajh9783 Or even his brother

[saxdawg00]

Maaaannn, this is REAL pro-wrestling right here! They didn't need sex to sell, they just put on great matches! If wrestling ever went back to this I'd be watching again!

[sammys70]

I used to love the Great American Bashs.Dusty and Tully had one of the best feuds ever in the nwa during that time.I likes when they had the first blood match that tully won.

[StanKingston420]

It'll never be like this again. Listen to that crowd pop for these two Legends.

[bigD5172]

Though the 4 Horsemen T-Shirt Tully was wearing here was cool.

[rpstanton84]

Dusty Rhodes is a inspiration to all obese people lol

[nicklaroberts]

this was 1987 not 1986...

.I was in the 1985 Bash when Tully lost the TV Title and myself to Dusty ..then in 1986 I teamed up with Dusty and Mgnum also Road Warriors to go against Jim Cornette and the Midnight Express...

@nicklaroberts Greetings! Wow! Is this "THE" Baby Doll from NWA? : )

[Beef266]

@nicklaroberts What's really bad is that it even says so in the graphic in the video. Big swing and a miss on my part. My bad y'all.

[rpstanton84]

YOu could tell dusty never did steroids

[dmbfreek]

is ths wwf

[davidducker]

@dmbfreek i think this is national wrestling alliance (NWA).

[tdmoses73]

they need to bring this type of brutality back to wrestling

[stubby42642]

yea, i wonder why this match isnt talked about as one of the first ladder matches. hell all these young marks think that shawn and razor started that. i saw some clips of a ladder match way back in the 70's...i keep thinkin it was in stampede wrestling up in calgary

[VancouverTVGuy]

@stubby42642 Stampede is where the ladder match was invented, in 1972. Dan Kroffat and Tor Kamata were the participants in that very first ladder match.

[marshalljimduncan]

The American Dream!!

[khiemvu88]

They cut themselves with real barb wire. WWE would never do this type of match.

[oldschool6804]

@khiemvu88 wwe have used real barbed wire before

[philaman1972]

Great trip down memory lane... and a short 2 years later, it would be Barry Windham who would turn on Dusty, setting up their great match at GAB 1988. Psychology like this in wrestling is a lost art.

[cwb11x]

i remember the frist time i seen this match i was 6 it was on a great america vhs tape it blew my mind the war game match was bad ass there was a match between eddie gilbert and dr death two i think they called it a texas deathmatch

[Whadzup100]

that's a good match and all my respect to them.

But watch Sabu's barbed wire matches ;)

[StanKingston420]

they don't have great matches like these shown on t.v. anymore. Dusty And Tully Are Legends!!

[kakalakyblue]

I was there... Thanks for the post...

[kirkwanglers32]

These guy know the out cobe.

But they still get hurt.

[MAJS444]

Really early barbed wire\laddermatch

Thanks for the history!

[Beals1986]

ECW SUCKS that is why wwe taking it off the air after there contr is up

[thefriendsociety]

i have to agree ecw was just so trashy i mean real garabe sometimes they would have technical matches and those were good but thats about it, they overkilled violence and gave it no meaning that sucks

[samsdaddy0525]

Great feud but IMO Dusty was past his prime by this time and should have let some of the younger talent rise up. But, he did what many others did. It would have been great to see Dusty turn heel at the time and team with Dick Murdoch again.

[UptownAssassin95]

The Outlaws Reborn....That would have been a good look..

[Gettopapa]

Do it better your self you stupid shiit , you don't know what heart , sacrife and Extreme is!

[nwawrestler]

R U SERIOUS ..if any of those ecw clowns had any heart sacrifice or extreme in em they wouldnt be outta work ,wit a bunch of unpaid doctor bills..lol

[Gettopapa]

are they outta work , i mean half of them are retired , gimme names of wrestlers with heart sacrife and extreme that never been part of ecw then ?!

[nwawrestler]

Lets try ,Shawn Micheals,Triple H, Undertaker, just a few....lol

[Gettopapa]

pretty god names thought you were a real idot your just a stupid punk , you can call Shawn Micheals Triple H an d Undertaker extreme in one way when it comes to hell in a cell , chairs , tables and such but tell those to put glass on their fists and go out and fight :D

[nwawrestler]

HA HA HA HA HA ....YOU ARE TRULY PATHETIC. tell you what, why dont you jump in front of a movin train, set yourself on fire,make these 'SACRIFICES",then you can be EXTREMELY PATHETIC,,, HA HAHA....glass on fist...ha ha ha ..you clown

[Gettopapa]

Just cause you dont have the guts to do it ..

[nwawrestler]

By the way ,dont fool yourself thinkin these guys are retired ,retired is 4 people who put in work, these guys are just useless.

[DRockswalker]

[Beef266]

This is the best one, IMO.

[bighustle89]
