IceMan King Parsons and HollyWood John Tatum are by far my favorite wrestlers of all-time...Entertainment at its best. They need to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame.
@Jiltedin2007 I must agree about UWF. I was a wrestler and I retired in 1986 and one of my last matches was for Bill Watts. It was the fastest paced, best match I ever had.
Even though I did not see much of UWF Wrestling living in Los Angeles, but I saw enough of it, especially the match where Dr. Death(Steve Williams) beat that fat ass Big Bubba Rogers for the UWF Championship, to know that it was the best wrestling I have ever seen. And if you can:t see it, you could always feel the excitement from the voice of Jim Ross as he was announcing the matches.
@Jiltedin2007 I was in L.A. at the same time and they only came through here for a 2 night tour once. The first night the packed the Olympic, but the second night they drew only a few hundred fans in Costa Mesa.
@Jiltedin2007 That was the night at The Olympic that I first met Steve Williams, among everyone else on their roster. He convinced me that I should give Watts a call. It seemed like a dressing room with a great attitude, like St Louis.
@Jiltedin2007 And he was as nice as anyone I'd met. Told us joke after joke. Missing Link Dewey Ribertson was sitting there too in ring wear reading some big thick book which looked funny as hell. A great bunch of guys and a great bunch of workers. The best and hardest working at the time. I'm still a Bill Watts fan, even though he's lost his mind, IMO.
I wonder if missy would still be the low class bimbo she has turned into not if she actually had stayed with john tatum.And before everyone flames me, i was a huge missy fan, and signed a petition when wwf at the time brought her in and let her go just as quick. the stuff she does now is well beneath alot of hookers. new jack said it, she would screw a horse if the price was right. sad.she was one of the original hot women of wrestling.
Could not agree more. SO freaking close if it wasn't for the recession they had in that area. Bill Watts had the same ideas of expansion that Vince had and I think he could have done it.
boy i remember those days they were the best todays wrestling can't even compare terry taylor was one of my favorites never missed a match on tv or when came close to my hometown
UWF! Man those were the days. Guys like Terry Taylor with the five arm. Dr. Death Steve Williams, Ted Dibiase, Savannah Jack, Freebirds, etc etc The shit on TV today is too gimmicky, not enough real wrestling.
Nigger?? That word is so over-rated. WHITE PEOPLE PLEASE THINK OF ANOTHER WORD!! thank you. a few suggestions I like, Porch monkey, spear chucker, coon, spook jiggaboo are all good ones.
Nice to see a man with a sense of humor, one thing I'd like to add, can we(meaning the average no-background white person) please get some derrogatory names please, Cracker and Honky kind of suck, and really aren't that offensive. How about something like... Culture thief, or Culture-dependant.. on second thought, those are also lame.
This is one of the greatest bouts i've ever seen. John Tatum is wasted talent. He should have been World champion muiti time. Terry Taylor is one of the greatest of all-time. This is what wrestling should look like. Not the steroids and the lights, that's all wwe is.
I definitely agree on Tattum. No one and I mean no one conveyed fruatration or disappointment like he did. If you've ever had a high-maintenance gf, you know what his angle was. Then again, Missy was just so hot, you'd be willing to fight a grizzly bear holding a chainsaw to make her happy. The UWF rocked then nd seeing these vids rock now.
sorry pal, were u talkin to me on comments (re: the Strokes) or just sucking your dad's cock as normal?...
i bet if u met hulk hogan in person you'd pull him off.. and Giant Haystacks, i've heard that hes not just well-hung, but he REALLy wants to drain your balls u cunt.
Although I like Taylor as a wrestler, somehow I just don't think he had the charisma to make it in the NWA where at the time most of the better wrestlers were located...
Agreed. He was solid in the ring and had the look, but lacked the charisma that he needed to take off. However, as it turned out later, he was more valuable behind the scenes (booking, TV production) than he was in the ring.
thanks to u-tube, I now understand why i can't watch todays version of wrestling. This, stampede, and most any show from the the territory days absolutely kick ass.
thought i'd remind you what a twat you are, after reading your article Spiritual Niggers: Islam and the West...what a fucking liar you are after promoting islam and tearing the christian west to peaces you then go and say " I was raised never to use the "N" word" you twat...you've used that insult all over youtube...you phoney !

John Tatum does an excellent job of selling Taylor's punches in this one. Looks better than the standard "Flair flop", to be honest.

For all those people you insulted on youtube with your nasty shit like "NIGGER" and " hope your mum gets cancer " and " she's got aids "
you deserve all the shit i could possibly pour on you !
What's so amazing is your quite happy to call black people niggers one minute and then on another channel say how fond you are of electronic music.
Your such a cretin, i mean, at your age OVER 40
