Arachnaman vs Doug Sommers

[fat8622]

Arachnaman is just a fake Spiderman douche nag with silly string

[TheAsarat38]

bello questo incontro forza arachnaman

[BigAlUpdates]

cheesyness aside, Arachnaman seems to be a pretty good wrestler.

[MrSponge56]

what ever happened to him

[trekfanful]

One of many Brad Armstrong identies

[mdcowboy15]

If Marvel really sued for Arachnaman being too much like Spiderman, then fuck them. His only similarity is having a spider-based theme. The names sound different. Their costumes are different. Their fighting style is different. It's bullshit spiders are off-limits because of Spiderman, especially considering that Arachnaman isn't a comic book character, he's a pro wrestler. In fact, he looks like the Shocker more than anyone else.

[electricbayonet2]

@mdcowboy15 Yeah, but that's kind of a problem: the Shocker is a Spider-man villain. It'd be like bringing in a villain who looks like a second-string Hulk villain and calling him "The Ragemeister."

But joking aside, this was just a lazy character job. If you want someone to have a spider theme, you're pretty much down to 'Spider-man' or some sort of black widow thing, which only really works with a female character.

[cormano64]

@mdcowboy15 Well, Spidey also began as a pro-wrestler, wouldn't you know. =P

[sanjhunt]

Cheesy gimmick, but Armstrong has the moves and the skills to sell it.

[NefariousBanana]

Needs more Bonesaw

[masterpanos1990]

With a great suit comes great responsibility

[ugforthewin]

lmfao. @. this.

[TheXand19]

Wrestling needs more superheroes.

[geldofpunk32]

Damn, WCW came up with some truly AWFUL stuff.

[sanjhunt]

Great finishing move. Guess he had to save the Russian leg sweep for Brad Armstrong.

[Truthguy2121]

No wonder Marvel sued WCW...embaressing.

[criticalmadness]

JR " i hope you'll be with us later" (please dont change)

[NioYagami]

Does what an Arachnid can!

[MrSoloscreationz]

wow this is weird lol and that custome wth a spider in the middle of his head wtf!!!!

[bjchit]

You know, it probably wouldn't be that hard to get a guy dressed up as Spider-Man now.

[stonewindimmortal]

I actually thoght this was real before Internet came

[lokalllize]

did they get sued for this

[35r345]

@lokalllize yeah

[alabama2561990]

lol Arachnaman doesnt really sound cool when hes fighting a random guy named Doug Summers...maybe if he was fighting someone with a kick ass name then maybe making an in ring persona like that would work

[Nagneto]

I want to see Spoony's reaction of this Crapterpiece

[junkman25]

this is so scripted its not even funny

[dirtybutter]

I thought Doug Summers was going to pull the upset there for a minute

[QuentinDude]

arachnaman should join gobbledy gooker, yetay, bastion booger, red rooster and brooklyn brawler in the class of 2011 WWE Hall of Fame!

[malbecks316]

wat

[HandsomeDynamite]

Funny, I thought his first opponent was Bonesaw.

[Nagneto]

@HandsomeDynamite : BOOOOOOOOONNNNESAAWWW

[mooky9669]

So where is Web City on the map? Guess Spiderman got pissed that Brad Armstrong was using his gimmick so they had to drop it!

[Brainstrain]

DOUG SUMMERS? He doesn't look anything like his Double-Dare hosting brother!

[benevo88]

from 'web city' lmao!!!

[CombatSportFan]

Archnaman and this match is a great example of the difference between pro wrestling and sports entertainment. In pro wrestling, a goofy gimmick like Arachnaman at least has a shot to get over so long as the wrestling is sound. I found this match to be enjoyable for what it was, and was better than some of those 90 second "superstar vs superstar" bouts on Raw.

Putting a guy in the ring and letting him wrestle and cut promos goes further to getting him over than stupid vignettes and soundbytes.

[EyeLuvGaeSekzz]

Arachnaman needs a huge comeback....Arachnaman with the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP aroung his sculpted waist would be just what wrestling needs...

[dirtybutter]

Arachnaman is the best wrestler ever. He should have teamed with the Ding Dongs to make an Ultimate Tag Team.

[cmstar5]

This is featured on the September 2008 Magazine, under "WWE's Lost Video Treasures".

[Xtreme21888]

Wow, Doug Somers. From AWA Tag Team Champion to jobbing to a Spiderman wannabe.

[WrestlingHeretic]

Agreed. He deserved better.

[charliet1967]

Doug probably had bigger paydays as a WCW jobber than he received as AWA Tag Team Champ

[DAC027]

I think it's high time for an arachnaman comeback

[SNB222]

Tobey Mcguire can kiss Brad Armstrongs Arachna-ass

[larrystarstruck]

Well, Brad was a rarity at times. Didn't have the charisma in interviews and only got pushed in some territories. But, if you watch him, very solid ring worker in all ways.

[frank5304]

i believe it was del wilkes...patroit

[EvenflowBlack]

Yep, best Russian legsweep ever - the only guy I've ever seen who actually made it look like a good finish.

[SayNoToTheism]

@larrystarstruck Wait, I think he's serious.

[kdogcpt]

Arachnaman=Brad Armstrong.....RaodDogg jesse james big brother

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

I could tell it was Brad, because of the deep armdrags and armbars.

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

I could tell it was Brad, because of the deep armdrags and armbars.

[frank5304]

i believe it was del wilkes...patroit

[arschsau2050]

Nope... was Brad Armstrong, who had some bad time in WCW actually...

[frank5304]

you're right! funny how many wrestlers did this, hector guerrero was lazor tron and the gobldeegooker, brad armstrong was also baddstreet, and brad anderson was zan panzer.

[diamondstudd]

He even used that entrance music as Brad Armstong - come on WCW! Brad Armstrong / Baddstreet / Candyman / Arachnaman

[proudmollyhollyowner]

Don't forget Buzzkill.

[TerryRay02]

I think he also competed under the name Max Moon.

[proudmollyhollyowner]

No, that was Konnan in the WWF. Not even close.

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

Actually, Konan only appeared on WWF TV three times before leaving the company under bad terms.

Paul Diamond took over the gimmick.

[TheRealMooke]

Brad Armstrong was arachnaman

[TerryRay02]

Who is Arachnaman? Didn't he compete in WWE under a different name?

[ICEGOD2]

Brad Armstrong.

[JeffSilvers]

GET IT WEBB CITY
