ICW - The Miss Macho Man Contest

[mrtrin]

One Man Gang looks like that big white dude Cal they brought in on Sanford and son when they kicked Lamont off the show.

[KASPLARFO]

Love you Macho Man, ... RIP.

[hezamachine]

Randy looks like Chong on steriods! LOL

[DewkChronic]

A black man in womans clothing, where have I seen that before? Theres a story of old hollywood and TV of putting black men in womans clothing.

[fdsaks]

@DewkChronic Macho did not think that was funny.

[1EPowerUp]

weird, macho talked so different. was the raspy thing something that he created and stuck with in and out of the ring or was there some sort of medical reason or something?

[imreallyrotten]

Whole family oozed talent from Dad to sons...

[Jokerpac32]

Yup Crusher is One Man Gang.

[MegaSweetMagic]

Always remember NWA Championship Wrestling...every Saturday 6:05pm, 2 hrs, WTBS Superstation. Saturday nights...not what it use to be.......

[fdsaks]

@MegaSweetMagic Those were the days......everything that came on tbs had that :05 slot. lol

[MegaSweetMagic]

1981........wow......30 years later....never gets old..........ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[7STONEMAN7]

@MegaSweetMagic Yeah I miss them too. Phil!!!

[mpack47]

I want to know more about the Canadian Bumblebee :)

[LAWDOGG61]

pistol pez was a good 70/s. 80.s mid carder...he aloso wrestled for the sheiks bigtime wrestling back then funny stuf

[usacyrano]

Does anyone remember if it was Crusher Broomfield who was being blackmailed by Savage into being an obedient stooge? Then someone somehow freed him of it. With all the WWE crap, I miss the old school wrestling!

[jlowry71]

@usacyrano Randy Savage had Crusher Broomfield's contract, making him his stooge. Ronnie Garvin fought to get Crusher's contract from Savage.

[usacyrano]

@jlowry71 Ah, ok. It's all coming back. Thanks!

[usacyrano]

Ahhhh Memories! I was living in Lex, Ky at the time all of this was going on. Wasn't the greatest wrestling program but had some pretty good guys that went on to shine later! Wished I had sat in a tv taping or two. Thanks for the post! Wrestling today is shamefully lame.

[JoBo6772]

Is Crusher The One Man Gang?

[jlowry71]

Yes it is.

[davesecx]

Savage sounds like Foley a little bit.

[abark]

This is probably the most amazing wrestling video I've ever seen. Nothing today compares at all.

I doubt there will ever be another Macho Man

[xxcelinux]

"Follow the bouncing ball, I enjoy being a girl!" LMFAO!!!!!!!!!

[xxcelinux]

7:32 Garvin called Whatley "boy". Wrestling was so un-PC back then.

[kemios]

I was there that day.

[misteremanpoffo]

Google ICW Poffo Universe

It will bring you to the ICW Poffo website I've compiled to chronicle The Poffo's independent wrestling promotion which ran in the mid south from 1979- 1985 .

Tons of ads for house shows ( over 700 on the site) . Pictures of the Macho Man from high school; match listings for early Lanny and Randy bouts from Phil Goldens All Star Wrestling from 1973.Pictures of Randy's great wardrobe

This is the most comprehensive site dedicated to the Poffo's ... so enjoy !!!

[shakezula29]

He sounds like Mick Foley when he speaks normally ,lol

[bluesky8921]

yeah, I'm trying to figure out the deal with Garvin and Lanny's ripped clothes, too.

[jlowry71]

That was just an indication of the struggle that they had capturing Pez Whatley.

[SublimeCO420]

who is pez whatley

[NRAWKER]

I love it, his voice is different, it was early in his development of the character.

[BlistardPussy]

The "Crusher" with the "Macho Man" is now better known as "The One Man Gang".

[battechno]

i was only two years old in 1980

[metsfan784]

ha, this stuff is top notch material

[badjaeaux]

ancient wwf

[Corndog0202]

This is ICW, it's not the WWF.

[staxvoltdakar]

DAMN!! they really phukked over pistol pez!! lol!!

[joetodaro]

Whats the deal with Ron Garvin and Lanny Poffos shirts being ripped?

[jlowry71]

Pistol Pez had apparently put up quite the fight (as would you if you were attacked by "twelve guys" and tied-up while forced to wear women's lingere), hence the torn shirts.

[sskkorrio]

This is so Cool!! Macho talks like Mick Foley in a macho type of way. I'm a big Macho fan!!

"MachoMan" dosen't go out with fat people"

[TheRamDVR]

What was the name of the music they used for the ICW program?

[jlowry71]

It was the music from the movie Midnight Express by Giorgio Moroder.

[TheRamDVR]

Thanks. Yeah, I just remembered that it was also the music that the tag team "Midnight Express" used. I don't know why I didn't remember that. I never did watch that movie though. Is it any good?

[Corndog0202]

I thought it was the Alan Parsons Project that made Midnight Express?

[arkansoul]

The ICW was an outlaw promotion. It had some great moments, but they simply just ran out and somewhat merged with the Memphis promotion with Jerry Lawler and Jerry Jarrett.

[thahellusay]

Awesome!!!

[fearthewrath2000]

quay.

[garicmidknight]

Sadly this is actual better than many WWE 'storylines' in the last 2 years.

[tattudbear]

that sure looks like a pre-mohawk One Man Gang

[jlowry71]

It is.

[spenben]

regret not meeting pistol pez whatley. I live here in Chattanooga where he lived but he has passed away. He was always entertaining.

[bacardidarck]

youre all ugly and FAT!! LMAOOOooooo

[mt312006]

long live you tube....where would i have seen sumthin like this without you tube...damn this is great !

[TheDotComKid]

is that giant dude the one man gang?

[miseryagogo]

I don't think you could find two different brothers than Randy and Lanny [the guy they are calling Leapin Lanny to those younger viewers]. Throughout their careers, they have always been drastically different. I had completely forgotten about OMG being in ICW.

[Chuloloc]

Classic.

[Freebird79]

between 78-82

[bangkokianbanger]

Wow! What year is this from?

[bluff64]

Miss Macho Man 1981.

[Suplyndmnd]

This is absolute classic wrestling. Back when it had to be entertaining to be watched. Great video post. You have to love the internet.

[leftofcentercomedy]

Got to love the Macho Man. This was great.

[jorgejmejia]

wow its that a wrestling show???

[wilsdomain]

Ugly or not, the Macho Man is one of the greatest wrestlers of all times. He appearance in Spiderman I was outstanding.

--- WilsDomain

[Nairoby29]

Boy, I knew Macho Man was ugly but he out did himself; he looks like Hulk just need the green color skin.

[Freebird79]

damn that is the one man gang holly shit

[mrtrin]

They REALLY missed the boat with a Lanny Poffo Macho Man fued in WWF

[discoder]

My god, Pez Whatley makes less sense than the Macho Man.

[matarishi]

This is damn hilarious!

[nelsoneg]

That was absolutely crazy,a true classic moment in wrestling history.

[hezamachine]

I was hoping this was the debut of Miss Elizabeth! lol!

[xllxcigaroxllx]

Jesus...is that foley or macho??!

[Nocholas4sale]

that was not cool

[larrystarstruck]

Yes, Crusher Broomfeld is definately One Man Gang, that is pretty given.

[brak]

"Get this offa me!"

"I cayun't!"

[johnsmdm]

a black chick?

[BoogieKnight75]

It's "Pistol" Pez Whatley.

[fashioncriminal]

Randy Savage is my all-time favorite pro wrestler, and this is the earliest footage of him that i've seen. Thanks!

[nickrs2005]

crusher broomfield is one man gang isnt he?

[jlowry71]

Yes he is.

[nickrs2005]

thought so one of my faves right there

[coulter777]

Very Entertaining......Thanx

[Cigaro1887]

Macho man looks like Chong in the background

[mooky9669]

He sure does doesn't he...

[Learyfan]

THANK YOU! I love this old school Savage.

[lazybone22]

always remember "the world champion doesnt go out with fat people!" - so funny savage is damn great!

[matarishi]

This  is freaking hilarious!

[JonahHexx]

Between this and Miss Atlanta Lively, I think Ronnie Garvin may have a transvestite fetish.

[BoogieKnight75]

Well, he did travel with Terreance Garvin for a number of years . . .
