Don Muraco vs Sandman

[kevinhardy]

good match

[TelleyECW]

Danny Doring's a smart guy, this is why The Sandman can get technical when necessary

[Lfdjake91]

Wow, the Sandman using actual wrestling holds??

[trentacid008]

Dang, Sting really let himself go.

[gilchris112]

lol Muraco had put on the pounds by this point hu? I guess getting fired from the wwf did not stop him from hitting sizzler , its pretty obvious he didn't miss too many meals

[burzumaske20]

@gilchris112 shit,Muraco is bigger then ever now.

[multimusic800]

muraco es mi apellido

[okrabay]

This was when it was NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling.

[miamiderek1]

Muraco wasn't looking too magnificent by this time. They were trying to get a mainstream guy to give them credibility.

[DogFacedGremlin76]

Sandman Rules!!! but he looks like a tool in those tights lol

[Countdown2Hangar18]

your comment proves that you really dont know shit.

[gillman47]

fuck you you fucking moron, wrestling is just entertainment nothing less, get a grip, what is there to know about this shit? tell me, i really want to know why you said i don't know shit, about what? this is jokeville you fucking idiot

[Countdown2Hangar18]

aww did i hurt the poor babies feelings? boohoo

[gillman47]

you got to be the biggest fucking pussy boy on the net, grow the fuck up, and if i wanted to listen to an ass-hole i'd fart

[Countdown2Hangar18]

i see you are trying to insult me, but like in life, you fail. nice try though. :)

[wvcruffler]

Interesting Eddie Gilbert mentions where he will be in 10 years. Little did he know. Sad, he and Henning were a great tag team at one time and now both met the same fate.

[heavymetalrockstar]

the early days of ecw i remember this.

[DVROFFMAN]

Battle of the Beach bums.

[skinwalkerxxx]

What was the idea of Sandman starting to drink, becoming fat and start wearing white trash cloths? Was it because he went from Beach Boy to Beach Bum?

[NRevantagonist]

ECW wanted him to act like he did in real life. Which unfortunately, was a drinking fat swearing white trash bum.

But it worked didn't it? :D

[skinwalkerxxx]

No doubt. :D

[Lfdjake91]

Eddie Gilbert is indeed correct it is illegal to kick an opponent with the point of the toe you can only use the sole of the foot.

[Lfdjake91]

I did'nt realise that Peaches (Sandman's wife) was so hot back in the day. I only remember her from later on when she was a part of Raven's Flock.

[filthiestfish]

Don is so out of shape here that he didnt deserve to be recognised as world champion but I understand why they gave the title to him as he was an established star of WWF fame.

[jrlynn79]

Sandman before the cane,cigs,beer,and woman lol.The surfer gimmick with his wife peaches at the time

[B44501xRacerEX]

Huh I thought Don Muraco quit wrestling after he left WWF.

I had no clue he was in ECW. But yeah he looks like a big fat guy in ECW.

[WarriorSmurf]

He wrestled for Herb Abrams resurrected UWF for a number of years before ECW began.

[Flair27]

When Muraco left the WWF, he went to Calgary were he wrestled for the Stampede promotion, and shotly after that he went to Herb Abrams UWF and later joined ECW.

[WarriorSmurf]

Cool, thanks for the further clarification.

[Flair27]

NP Warrior :)

[toohotscorpio]

He was in the AWA too in 1988

[js560000]

Muraco was fired in late 1988. After that, Muraco split his time between Stampede Wrestling (where he defeated Makhan Singh to win the North American Heavyweight title), the AWA, and Herb Abrams' UWF, where he feuded with a young Cactus Jack.

Muraco was one of the first to hold the ECW Championship, before it became Extreme Championship Wrestling.

[mkl62]

Good match. A pre-cursor to the Extreme days.

[heavymetalrockstar]

This is the ECW I remember. Some Old Philly wrestling.

[Drjkl924]

OMG, Sandman is doing wrestling holds lol

[retoronto]

Look at Muraco here! Pumped himself full of roids and it all turned to fat!!!

[kingdiamond5]

pearl harbor job lol that brings back memories

[PhilM662]

jay sulli

[jimbo2346]

It's hard to believe what ECW became when you look back at these old ECW clips.

[destronia123]

LOL -- Eddie Gilbert talking about where he was going to be "ten years from now" -- those are famous last words...

[wwewwf1997]

From what year is this

[LOKITUP]

1993

[mankind2112]

Sandman looked like a Bitch, Ha, Ha

[toyotas2006]

before they were stars. his bret hart impersonation

[Fuzzyboy1976]

yeah and you see the outfit on Sandman ,,,is that where MVP got the idea from they resemble a lot or it could be the same model!

[Fuzzyboy1976]

whats more unbelieable than Don Muraco being the Ecw champion is looking at the Sandman in wrestling clothes actually wrestling lmao!!!!!!!

[waity]

are the sandman and Sunny Beach from UWF the same person???

[mangamegs]

So, is Don a former World champ; since, he is former ECW champion?

[AnnacondaVice]

The ECW Title didn't have World Status yet.

[OriginalsRULE]

Was this when Sandman was doing that surfer gimmick?

[Thrall138]

Classic Extreme champio...erh,I mean Eastern Championship Wrestling.

And you gotta love that uber-mullet Paul E. is rockin'

LoL.

Great job posting this!

[ants84]

fuckin hell this shit is RARE

[iloveboobs5]

Sandman's not the same without the beer, Metallica and Singapore Canes!

[ThunderwingMatrix]

So THIS is where MVP got his ring attire from, LOL!

[GhettoAttitude]

an ECW without Joey Styles isn't really ECW

[troyu812]

[mm123]

[DawktahS]

Wow. I forgot that he had a surfer gimmick.

[CatholicRiots]
