Ken Patera versus "Judo" Joe Black (The worst wrestler EVER!!!)

[elc1960]

Holy cow, I dare say that even Howard Finkel could whoop Judo JoeBlack!

[elc1960]

Pretty pathetic match, but this guy Black is far from the worst jobber ever. Check out the match with Magnificent Muraco vs Marshall Bovee, or the one where Sgt. Slaughter absolutely annihilated some guy who had never wrestled before (I don't remember the guy's name, but the match is posted here on YouTube). Both those guys were WAY worse than Judo Joe Black.

[mistermarcel22]

well I have seen better judo than what this joe black does

[BigJonAllred]

Why is it Cena bashers such as @HungarianCMPunk continuously use the moveset argument against Cena?

NEWSFLASH....A plethora of pro wrestlers have only used 5 moves such as everyone's golden boy The Rock [Spinebuster, Sharpshooter, Peoples Elbow, DDT, Rock Bottom].

[hungariancmpunk]

the worst wrestler ever is..."the man who only know 4 moves...the Kid Hero...Joooooooooooooohn Ceeeenaaaa....

[DrVonChilla]

LOVE watching these "Ken Patera vs. jobber" matches from my high school years!!

[LMTR14]

haha, what a loser

[SarsecPally]

8 people are pencil neck geeks.

[NickKano11]

Now let's switch over to one of Karo Parisyans fights...

[rocker1131]

that judo dude is a joke

[swassontelus]

This looks like Koscheck vs. GSP in about 20 years.

[OaktownABQ]

Fortunately the match was short. Can you imagine this guy in the ring against Ted Arcidi?

[BrokenMegaMan]

I thought Vince was gona say Ken Pater the first ever american...look it up lol

[dowhatthouwilt911]

I remember watching this match when it was first aired on Saturday morning wrestling. I was disappointed; I wanted to see some judo moves, not just another typical jobber beating!

[Jonasszczuczyn]

this "judo" guy fight like a bitch

[Holden308]

You know, I don't think they were booing Patera & Heenan as much as they were booing for paying money to see this LOL

[Mality]

Joe Black could beat most of the guys on the current WWE roster.

[3skiso]

STUPID and RETARDED  FAKE ! ! !

[CDABXXX]

What Professional Wrestling compay is this?

[patjay3]

@Brandontrann Kinda, this even guy failed at the choreographed moves.

[Dedamn666]

judo joe black, my wrestling names kung fu ken black hahaha

[norseleague]

Annihilation plus. Didn't even allow the jobber a few moves-unreal! McMahon must hate martial artists?

[EICHOLZtheEXPERT]

FAKE AND GAY.

[OaktownABQ]

I don't know, I've seen worse..after all, this is the WWF we're talking about.

[LordGosai]

He could've at least done some break falls when he was getting tossed around...

[20Saxy]

This guy was awful but not the worst....search for Magnificent Muroco vs Marshall Bovee.....it was Bovee's only match, and you will see why!!!!

[HemmHon]

Who would win between Judo Joe Black and Frank Williams?

[rtydhg9q]

@HemmHon I don't know, but I think the loser should wrestle Salvatore Bellomo.

[JoeyPencils]

the smart money was on Patera

[WizardBogle01]

@JoeyPencils The real sad part of that is that why would anyone put money on Patera?

[karatecow99]

he cant even lock up right... thats pretty sad...

[eslubin]

Who knew D.C. LaRue was also a judo champion? Patera beat him like a red headed stepson

[assemblyguy]

both were pretty bad, but Patera had a gimmick. Black had nothing.. in fact I don't even remember this guy

[OaktownABQ]

What do you mean, worst ever? I loved that backflip he did at 1:18 -- he landed right on his butt!

[WWEJVCC2010]

@OaktownABQ he wasnt supposed to land on his feet?

[javiercitos010]

show vs sport it"s bad

[billyspurr]

this was from a time where jobber got squashed, everytime. I'm pretty sure that if the match wasn't fixed, and Joe was unleashed, a Judo black belt would put up a much more competent fight.

[LaLiLuLeLo1991]

At least he held his own...

[Srd1126]

I remember this one. Never saw that jobber again.

[BAhern63]

more like "Glass Joe" Black

[therecanbeonlymike]

Funny as hell seeing Judo getting his head bounced off the turnbuckle.

[TSWilson6250]

JUDO JOE BLACK FOR WWE HALL OF FAME 2011!!!

[RevDarkehorse]

@TSWilson6250 Might as well, I think that Vince's former chauffer driver is in there, so the WWE Hall of Fame can't mean too much.

[N0GGINB0NKER]

lol I think i remember this. Didnt he do like a half roll when he was introduced?

[Filmaker25]

BRING BACK JUDO BLACK!!!

[pazios2002]

I dont know if he was the worst ever. But I did love those turnbuckle throws. LOL

[quietriotfan1976]

Judo Joe is alot better than Steve Blackman

[sayanroy36]

judo joe is the effin man, a revolutionary, an icon, a visionary and an inspiration to so millions of children all around the world

[RPenta]

His black belt was awarded by Grandmaster Tuo Hung Lo.

[GlorifiedTruth]

Wow! He got finished off by an ELBOW???

But let's give Judo some credit here. His job was to get wasted, and he acquitted himself very well.

[SpotlightEntrance]

He Flair-flops everything!

[anything19909]

wtf

[PDCpwnage]

this looks kinda fake

[ccie12933]

Use the crane, Daniel-San! Use the crane!

[elc1960]

This HAD to be Black's first match! What a piece of shit. For younger fans, back in the old days TV matches were 99% squash matches. When they had a feature match, most of the time it went to the 10 minute time limit.

[Holden308]

This is THE definition of a squash match LOL

[meekrob]

Meet Joe Black :) gotta love the fact that apparently he didn't know how to lock up, and don't get me started on those ridiculous turnbuckle bumps

[Holden308]

@meekrob Its no wonder no one saw this guy again after Patera squashed him. I remember as a kid seeing this and thought then that those turnbuckle bumps were seriously stupid.

[cheyennemcman]

My god that is the worst fuckin jobber ever! When Patera bodyslammed him across the ring it look he couldn't even get up!

[Tbaldwin1971]

These dudes know how to fight.

Such savage display.

The Albino dude (The baddy) really knows how to kick arse.

Bruce Lee had no chance here.. Albinos take no shit in the ring..

(urgh that sounds rude)

[jhardyrules]

and i thought david flair was bad.

[guzthetaker93]

the stomps is best XD

[pekernek]

I love Bobby's perm!

[retardno002]

I wish Patera would have done some randori with Jigoro Kano... see if he can pin Kano. ROFL

[JeffreyJamesLippold]

Patera should have took Judo Gene lebelle on next in a real match, and see how that worked out for him? LOL.

[nyyterp]

I remember seeing this on TV and wanting Patera to get a nice beating, thinking he wouldn't be able to have any counterattack for any martial arts maneuver used against him and that Joe Black even had an large arsenal of moves to keep up a good fight.

In the end, the match ended up being a "bringing a knife to a gunfight" scenario.

[oblomoff87]

best fake shit evar!!

[ExtremeHDTV]

lol at 1:55

[ExtremeHDTV]

this dude reminds me of funaki

[circusfreak777]

karate gimmicks are lame anyway.

[landrykkb]

@circusfreak777 WWF was trying to cash in on The Karate Kid era.

[Dobbebassalaine]

Judo Joe Black - that's Steve Reese, isn't it? Look for Bad News Brown vs Steve Reese - MUST be the same guy

[ElComadreja777]

This is just as bad as I remember it. Way to sell those turnbuckle smashes, Joe. I think this was his one and only appearance. LOL

[dagreatcapri82]

Now that's what I call randori! LOL!

[dwarfbard]

fake and gay!

[mikethelooter]

worst...selling....EVER!

[Lfdjake91]

Yeah, especially the way he bumped after taking the turnbuckle smash LOL.

[judopathoftruth]

You od realize this is entertainment wrestling that is fixed and is fake!

ok its real the way they train, and yes Judo manouvers would be very effective against this form of entertainment wrestling.

Again this is a entertainment sport.

[LaParkanation]

Shut up Joe Black, you just got your ass kicked.

[mistasmif31]

dat is the worst jobber i ever seen in my life

[landrykkb]

@mistasmif31 Isn't that the purpose a jobber is supposed to serve?He humiliated himself with that "Judo" moniker alone,and he couldn't sell quite like Steve"Brooklyn Brawler" Lombardi.

[Derby14]

I agree completely with the description. The way Judo Joe launched himself into the air and then fell to the canvas after taking a turn buckle face smash was so bad that it was funny!

[yardape99]

They should have let Judo Joe get in at least one move. Maybe a Ko-uchi gari or a hari goshi...just for shits and giggles.

[okrabay]

i remember seeing this when i was 14 thinking it was real. I was really cheering for Joe who gets squashed.

[dogsee1]

ken patera makes me HORNY

[blaustx]

Wow Joe is lethal!  I want a black belt under Joe!

[halfdollarhunter]

yall suck yall know nothing bout wrestling this guys a legened soo know ur stuff dick heads

[NinotchkaLover]

Patera was in good shape at that time!

[maxbigwood]

How can you be 'bad' at a fake, planned sport?

[ZmickTrick]

I call that the Cena Paradox.

[40colby]

Man, I've never seen anyone like Ken Patera throw people across a ring. Man the guy was strong.

[bettydaw1970]

i miss thse jobber squash matches..

[JoeyPencils]

ya they were a lot of fun

[dtw1958]

@bettydaw1970 Patera would've made a great career after in Muscle Worship, but dumb as a bag of rocks as I remember

[Point4Dave]

like when you put a headlock on your cat

[sweeneysister]

WOW! I'm surprised he was even booked!
