The Yokozuna Slam Compilation!!!

[TheEnviousdominous]

Did the AWA ever televise a Kokina appearance? I haven't done too much research, but I'm surprised that examples don't pop up when I search for them.

[TheFootballwolf]

mabel once slammed yokozuna

[NDestinationUnknown]

A lot of strength to do what they did.

[thenameisbob4689]

The Ahmed slam was at Survivor Series 1995, not 1996.

[JKTube]

@Nimblewit82: I've read that the State of New York took away Yoko's wrestling license after Survivor Series 96, which was his last WWF appearance. That's why he barely got in the ring at Heroes of Wrestling.

[3PWchannel]

I can't get over anybody slamming him around '96. He was staggeringly large.

[egg64]

Wow, I didnt know Yoko was like Umaga's size at one time in his career. Exact same body type.

[TeslaDRay]

you forgot the first time ahmed slammed yoko was when he made his debut by coming to the rescue of diesel and 123 kid i think in oct 95'.

[carter2]

@TeslaDRay Yeah it was Razor and the kid.. on Raw before Survivor Series 95. Ahmed's first in ring appearance or one of the first

[21richkid]

Wasteland by Wade Barrett would knock out Yokozuna just like the Englishman when he lift up Mark Henry and botched the finisher.

[madmanszalinski]

It was SS95 that Ahmed slammed Yoko, not 1996. Although, don't get me wrong, I ain't a hater or a nitpicker. I loved the video. Thank you for this upload.

[hardcorepaddy316]

Hulk Hogan never slammed yokozuna

[rockstarbd82]

Mabel/Viscera/Big Daddy V once slammed him Coliseum Video's WWF Most Unbelieveable Matches in 94' and he got him "ALL THE WAY UP". Yoko even managed to slam him too.

[oldschooldogy]

Wow, the slams in Mexico and Japan are amazing because they are actually body slams. When Luger did it Yoko just ran and jumped in the sky, but Luger still didn't really slam him. Ahmed Johnson's slam was very sloppy too, but two in Japan and Mexico made it look effortless.

[carter2]

@oldschooldogy look at the size difference from the earlier slams to the later ones.. nobody could do a perfect body slam on a 600+ pound man

[watchyamouth90]

he wasnt as fat as when luger slammed him

[bettydaw1970]

yoko like andre got heavier as timewnt on, he may have been under 400 (barely) when canek slammed him..he was over 600 near the end..

[hexkwondo]

You forgot Hogan slammed him too,

[rayzzor]

@hexkwondo I do not think he did... show me the proof!

[TeslaDRay]

@rayzzor

no, hogan fell backwards i think.

[JRocker69]

@rayzzor One of the dates are wrong. Ahmed slammed Yoko at the 1995 Survivor Series not 1996. Yoko was face for the 1996 Survivor Series

[JKTube]

@rayzzor: Hulk teased that he was going to slam Yoko at KOTR 93 but he never got the chance. Luger was the one who got to do that first in the WWF.

[ApolloCreed82]

@hexkwondo Nah. Tried to at King of the Ring.

[technoninja89]

@hexkwondo hogan could never pick him up

[criceto]

Yokozuna was over 550 pounds in his wwf run, no one can really slam him.

[MegaMcClarey]

Its good to see a guy so fat capable of moving fast enough through an entire wrestling match. Quite impressive. In the end though I still prefer Rikishi because he was pretty damn action packed and he was one of my favourite wrestlers in the Attitude era but he never got a big enough push. Correct me if I'm wrong but Rikishi was never WWF champion. If Yokozuna can have it, why not Rikishi?

[mattdogg578]

@MegaMcClarey Yokozuna>Rikishi

[stdamon]

It was a Hip-Toss!!!

[dantheman9856]

actually, the ahmed slam was from ss 1995, not 1996.

[multimusic800]

@plasteg only lex luger

[djkm77]

Otto Wanz slammed Yoko in 1988.

[rayzzor]

@djkm77 See the updated video... it has that slam

[Chargerchad]

Lex luger slams were crap, he should stick to wife beating.

[GoingYard7]

@Chargerchad agreed very weak slams

[FatFadi]

he wasn't so fat back then

[NdotDiggity]

@rkofan67 I remember the Stone Cold match, I was watching that when it happened. I laughed my ass off.

[Theb0shey]

Yoko wasn't the size he was in WWE when Canek slammed him neither the Japanese guys.. so it was far more impressive when Luger and Ahmed slammed him.

R.I.P Yokozuna

[IASP17]

@goodlookin41 true.

[JPThunder01]

@Vipered But Yoko and Andre were also smaller there than they were when Luger, Ahmed, Hogan and Ultimate Warrior slammed Yoko and Andre

[NdotDiggity]

The most impressive was Ahmed Johnson because he lifted Yoko at his heaviest which was around like 670+

[bettydaw1970]

yoko looked badass with that long hair

[bigpapapapa]

@ECWExtremeMoments ...he carried the WWE for many years...he was the first fat wrestler that didn't make me ashamed to be XXXL...RIP!

[BorisBarak]

@bigpapapapa I could bodyslam him.....now.

[Chuloloc]

RIP, Yokozuna.

[thaknoxx]

u missed mable's slam from 95.

[equinoxxc]

It was Survivor Series 95 not 96 but great video nonetheless.

[Gamebox27]

It's not just weight that kept Luger from turning Yoko, it was his girth. His massive torso had no where left to go, making the slam look incomplete.

[Gamebox27]

OK, Ahmed too. But he didn't get him as high off the ground as Luger.

[Gamebox27]

Luger is the only one budging the behemoth at 550 lbs+

The other ones are at 400-450, if that.

[Safarigod]

Everybody seems to be able to bodyslam Yoko. I bet Horswoggle would have been able to accomplish that feat too. lol.

[ralphusrjones]

Carlos Colon slammed Yokozuna in Puerto Rico!

[rayzzor]

@ECWExtremeMoments - If you like Canek then check out my Andre slam vids!

[MrGlasspider]

C'mon Luger is not the strongest pro wrestler. I believe that many guys could do it better at that bodyslam challenge (Crash for example). McMahon tried to make new Hogan out of Luger at that point, and Yoko was new Andre. I'd like to see Lesnar or Goldberg slammin' Youkozuna.

[Gamebox27]

@MrGlasspider He was up there. I think Big Show is the strongest (full-time) wrestler ever, but behind him, probably Patera, Andre, Crush/Brian Adams, and Mark Henry. Hogan, Tony Atlas, Luger, Goldberg, and Lesnar were probably the strongest under 300 lbs, in no particular order. Warrior was pretty strong too. He practically slammed Andre against Andre's will.

[IASP17]

@Gamebox27 finally someone with rational thinking, big show indeed is very possible the strongest wrestler ever

[MrGlasspider]

Luger's slams lookin' like shit.

[chuckmanofgod]

@MrGlasspider, I believe that Yokozuna was a lot heavier when Lex Luger bodyslammed him. One time on Regis and Kathy Lee, he even said that it would have been impossible to bodyslam Yokozuna from a vertical stand point.

[tunzagunz4506]

i like the idea as well i wonder if there is any footage of mark henry pressing vader

[shawnpatrick911]

Great video but those were the most lamest slams by Luger on him. Yokozuna did all the work and Luger couldn't even get him in the classic slam position. As Hennan screamed "hip toss"!!

[RandomAct]

Only a couple are missing that I can tell. Luger slammed him again at Wrestlemania X, and Ahmed got him on Raw before Survivor Series.

[styx4ever1963]

I wonder if El Canek ever slammed Earthquake

[shawnpatrick911]

@styx4ever1963 - I tell you what. The most impressive slam of a super heayweight was when Big Show (the Giant) on WCW slammed Earthquake in the classic slam position... hold the guy up for a few seconds with the feet over the head, and dumping him.

[MikeDesadario]

i like this video idea. you should do an earthquake slam comp too.

[rulo26]

CANEK RULES !!!

[OSSIODANCE]

No el azotón de Canek a Kokina fué en 1991 al menos el de este video. Kokina no estuvo en México en los ochentas

[q8shiaprince]

yokozona the hvst wrestler in wwf

[SuperSonicHot]

For the 1st 0:39, it's impressive, but Yoko wasn't as massive at this time as he was in the WWF. He put on all that weight to play the sumo gimmick. I'd say about 150 pounds more.

[mrsexappeal69]

Yokozuna was pretty athletic for his size. He pretty much carried himself through out the slams.

[MrJemoedeer]

undertaker chokeslammed him @ royal rumble 1994

[arrafatter]

he didnt lift him 1 inch

[MrJemoedeer]

i know.. but still

[rpantoja6]

El que lo levantaba mas facilmente fue Canek y en varias ocasiones cuando estuvieron en el Toreo de Cuatro caminos en los años 80s.

[MrGlasspider]

It seems to me that Yoko was very hard to slam. Probably cause he was short.

[rayzzor]

Thanks for the tip... I did find the video.... if I can find Ahmed Johnson's first slam of Yoko from Raw in October/November '95 I will be putting that up along with Lex's slam at WrestleMania X...

So if ANYONE knows where I can find that vid... let me know!

[MrDantheman2009]

You forgot that Lex Luger slammed the late Yoko again at WrestleMania X.

[rayzzor]

Did he??? I couldn't find the video if he did!

[MrDantheman2009]

Just find Yoko vs Lex from WrestleMania X, it's in there.

[thaknoxx]

@rayzzor and mables slam in 1995

[FreddyPeezy]

And ahmed johnson

[mdefil23]

Try to find the video of Hacksaw Jim Duggan knocking him off his feet. It was the first time he was knocked down in the WWF. Was on probably a Saturday morning show. Great memories...

[DaveInOCNJ]

Another great idea for a compilation video! I think Ahmed Johnson's was least impressive, but lets face facts...Yoko was at his largest by then, I'd say over 600 lbs easy!
