[Taekwondofreak5]

I WOULD respect this guy if he didnt screw over ECW

[bmxfreek22000]

@Taekwondofreak5 He didn't Heyman owed him money. He wasn't going to work for free when he could make alot more money elsewhere.

[Taekwondofreak5]

@bmxfreek22000 Yet he were gonna throw the ECW Championship in the trash can shitting all over the ECW legacy

[azrielseclements]

Unlike a lot of Big-Men in pro wrestling (excluding Undertaker, Kane, Bruiser Brody, Jumbo Tsuruta & a handful of others), this guy was really good fun to watch. Sheamus has the potential to do stuff like Mike, but he doesn't have the same presence...hard to believe its been 5 years since he decided enough was enough...

[SuperSully79]

what is the name of his manager in the beginning who is dressed as a preacher

[bmxfreek22000]

@SuperSully79 Judge Jeff Jones he's a judge lol.

[gebuz420]

back when wrestling was awesome

[jackass4569]

3:05 Did I just see this 6 ft 6 290 lbs guy do a Rey Mysterio move ??

Mike Awesome should have been a huge star in wrestling right now.

Its a shame you rarely see a big man wrestler this talented.

All the big men in WWE has NOTHING compared to this guy, he would kill'em !!

[AvEryBadApPLe]

it would've been AWESOME if he was the one to break Taker's streak at Wrestlemania, like a passing of the torch, not like that Hogan Vs. Warrior sham.

[MrCrow42]

this man had the best power bombs in history

he did them all and mastered them

[LeezyHawk]

@MrCrow42 true

[naraicks]

how the hell do you climb onto the top rope with a man on your shoulder?

that guy was insane

[ThekLiMpF]

Mike was truly awesome R.I.P.

[Machainedecatch]

Peace to him ! i'll post a lots of Mike Awesome matches on 'WWF Jacked Metal' 2001

[TheSHN61]

Mike mizanin wish he could be just like mike awesome.

[BathorysGraveland]

R.I.P to my all-time favourite wrestler, damn amazing he was. Also, slightly off topic, but fucking LOL @ the fans cheering when Mike said "I knocked her teeth right down her fucking throat!". Only in ECW is male-on-female violence appreciated. Ha ha.

[TheEddieVendetta]

I still mark for Mike Awesome.

[aldojr86]

I haven't watched wrestling since i was a kid but i gotta admit this vid is pretty gnarly.

[stemerm1]

One of the best big men ever. Awesome did stuff a man his size shouldn't be able to do. RIP

[TheKryptonite97]

This guy makes just wanna grow a mullet, grow to be 6'6, weigh 300 lbs, and rename my last name to Awesome.

[razvyboss69]

died because of suicide! let's go to tna and kill suicide :)) (i know "NOT FUNNY!!!!")

[gazz12345a]

Very similar in style to Jonny Ace.

[grangegoarman]

If only Mike had have gone to the tittie bar with his buddies.....RIP Mike. FUCKING WOMEN!!!! THEY'RE ALL THE SAME!!!!!!!!!

[1999kaco]

like if u typed in mike is awesome

[MrProud1983]

It still befuddles me to this day why the WWE dropped the ball with Mike Awesome. He should of been having angles with Stone Cold Steve Austin and powerbombing The Rock through tables. What they could of done with this guy would of been(forgive the pun) AWESOME.

[gerryparkes]

i would pay to watch awesome fight tanaka every day of every week!!!

[wrestlingfan1946]

Dude, Miz and Awesome Kong do not compare with Mike Awesome, one of the greatest champions of the ECW. Mike Awesome compare with Miz is compared to Ozzy Osbourne with Justin Bieber.

[Anonymous01231]

now we have have The Miz (MIKE Mizannin) as the "awesome" one

[TheSecondcitysaint]

@Anonymous01231 O RLY?

[ParanoidKev]

Awesome is his name all his victims feel the pain dropped with and awsome bomb You go down you never come up ice cold blood with a heart of fire

[chapel976]

Mike Awesome: Tactical Nuclear Spike Dudley Launcher

[LaVitaNouva]

This MIKE is the one who awesome.

Not Mike Mizanin.

[braggsean1026]

Mike is just one of the many fallen talents to our beloved business. Drugs, roids, and suicide... when will it end???

Rip Awesome, Candido, Pillman, Benoit, Rude, Hennig, Tornado, Hawk, Owen, and Guerrero.

[genra17]

I'm surprised no one mentioned Sean O'Haire. If anyone, I think he is closest to reaching the level of Mike Awesome. But he was never hardcore.

[Azure701]

RIP Mike Awesome.

The mullet, the powerbombs, the high flying, the attitude, truly did he deserve his name.

.

[3dmuscle]

Sorry to hear the passing of Mike Awesome, if given the opportunity he could've gone all the way to the top. Great at power moves and a high flyer to boot. RIP Mike

[respect43]

MIKE AWESOME HOWS HE HANGIN'?

[poisongodmachine3]

@respect43 not cool, dude

[chanze19]

@respect43 HES DEAD

[JDH1973]

Thanks for posting this. I never really saw him in ECW days, I only knew him from WCW & WWE days.

Of all the wrestlers I met, he was 1 of the most down to earth & friendly ones there was. I was truly heartbroken when I heard he commited suicide.

RIP Mike.

[baronofbefoulment]

Fuck the Miz, and Awesome Kong. There was only One AWESOME.

[edtx82]

Most Awesome wrestler ever

[Metalicrose1]

Thanks for uploading this bmxfreek. which Iron Maiden album is that from?

[eJenks88]

much respect your not dead you live on in all of your fans

[ledobe56]

rip mike

[KulDeeSak]

The only other matches that I have ever seen in my life that could hold a candle to Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka were the RVD vs. Jerry Lynn matches. Fuckin AWESOME. RIP Mike.

[TheChaves11b]

R.I.P Mike Awesome:Truly a one of a kind specimen in Pro-Wrestling.Shame that promoters failed to see that.

[speeddemon79]

Talk about one of the most misused talents of all time. Mike Awesome's athleticism and skillset for a man of his size was unmatched...R.I.P. Mike 

[SVROverlord]

Mike Awesome is dead?!

[passion4drums]

@SVROverlord yeah he killed himself a while back

[babypunn]

MIKE AWESOME GREATEST BIG MAN IN WRESTLING PERIOD and one of the greatest ecw champs ever r.i.p AWESOME BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheJeffro888]

One of wrestlings most underrated big man. He had size, strength, and amazing agility for a big man.

[zatrzaille]

wcw shouldve used him mike awesome better RIP

[memosrt]

him and masato tanaka are the reason i started watching ecw

[wrestleterry]

ecw was awseome i loved th no holds bar brutality

[VaeVictisVallejo]

One of the greatest ever at saying the word "fuck"

[grate4life]

his dives freaked me out.they looked so lethal and dangerous

[benjyharibo96]

his eyes are scary. It freaked me out when he said "I knocked her teeth down her fucking throat", with those eyes O_O but he was my favourite ECW wrestler.

R.I.P

[SamiNami]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH­AHAHHAh

[19timmins83]

Hernandez started of trying too be the new mike awsome but now he just riding matt morgans coat tails

[Airbornerock]

@19timmins83 Their will never be another Mike Awesome, maybe wrestlers that get close to him. But never another Mike Awesome

[baronofbefoulment]

Fuck JBL. Awesome was THE wrestling GOD.

RIP Mike

[bipetalcorpse]

i would give my right nut too see a mike awsome power bomb rip

[jediknightgeo]

Damn man its so sad that he commited suicide. He was such a great draw. Its a damn shame.

[kelso120]

he should have had a great carear, its a shame wcw did nothing with him after the paid alot of cash to get him, its a real shame

[tastefullys]

now miz is the awesomeist

[svarogov]

YEEEEEES he sure is

[kikesrunutube]

now that was fucking awesome!!!

[twejeff]

rip mike awesome

if he see the wwe ecw he would whoop mcmahons ass...!

[DiamondRKOCutter]

wow mike awesome was a huge athletic beast  i see where hernadez gets alot of his stuff from

[ramostarr]

Hernandez is another great big man wrestler. Besides he is on TNA IMPACT! He is going to need to do something besides botch moves or do power moves like wwe big man wrestlers do

[setokaiba200x]

may he rest in peace

[alrussell1985]

thanks for the vid man, always thought wwe should of done more with him and lance storm especially after they bought wcw. he was an amazing athlete for a man of that size. rip

[Airbornerock]

holy shit you fools, stop talking about him killing himself. obvisously if the family wanted everyone to know, they maybe would've said it online?

[bennybagofdonuts]

Mike in his prime was one of the greatest big men in wrestling history. Those powerbombs still put me in awe every time.

[JScharpen]

regardless if he took steroids, he is one of the best power wrestlers of all time.

[slightlydead85]

i wudnt hav thought so.. pro wrestling is a lonely way of life full of adversity. he had demons just like the others maybe. but is unrelated to a drug death.

[anakinstarwars234]

no im just saying he committed suicide

[MrBabz71]

I mis dat kraze muthafucka & da Awesome Bomb wuz sick az fuck!!!!

[MrKillerrellik2008]

original ecw was 10x better than wwf attitude era.

[drummerdaniel77]

Why watch this crap when you can watch UFC?

[AvEryBadApPLe]

...because ufc doesn't have funny catch phrases and skits. the ring girls aren't as hot as a trish stratus or a layla. the entertainers who portray "wrestling characters" do a live show, each week, all year round, with virtually no time off. it's staged violence, kinda like lotrs, dark knight and avatar. it's not meant to be real, just appears to be real. as "real" as ufc supposed to be, no one ever died in the ring or got crippled by an opponent. if any thing, that pretty goddamn fake.

[drummerdaniel77]

god dude this shit is so horrible. idiots who get killed doing this shit are not that smart.

[AvEryBadApPLe]

dude, what idiot ever got killed wrestling?

[StackOber]

u are insinuating that UFC is fake! i dunno about that man thats a weird thing to say

1

[AvEryBadApPLe]

on some levels, yes. refs end matches too earlier. overrated fighters get a bigger push than mma vets. like clock work, when there's a big match lined up fighters duck the competition. it's pretty fucking weird to see folks take that form of entertainment seriously. lmfao

[StackOber]

Dude you did not jus say that!

[AvEryBadApPLe]

@StackOber what part bro?

[zanniraccaten]

the BEST

[ABRA19761120]

he is f k huge

[TheWaltonsMountain]

Was the ECW Heavyweight Champ then sold out and became a nobody in WCW...then committed suicide. That's the story of Mike Awful woops.... Awesome.

[ITALMAN123]

and he was on tna for like a day

[extremewrestlingdude]

WTF? No Suicide Dive on J.T. Smith? Oh well, fucking amazing nontheless. Anybody up for a best of Mike Awesome DVD? Maybe WWE could do an "ECW: Best of" series, and have Mike Awesome and Kid Kash best ofs! Anybody share the same thoughts?

[bmxfreek22000]

They did do a best of ECW dvd its called Blood Sport ECW. I have that JT Smith dive but it totally slipped my mind.

[RavenT2]

@bmxfreek22000 just curious, where's the JT Smith dive on the DVD again?

[TheKryptonite97]

@extremewrestlingdude Hey Iwas thinking about getting permission to make a RVD DVD called the whole fn show 6 discs 10 hours an rvd documentary and over 60 matches

[MrRedbone19]

Triple H was too much of a fagget to line up with Mike Awesome. Imagine that, Awesome coming off the ropes, technical, brutal......matched up with Triple H, doing the same fukin moves he's been doing for the same 10 years.

[nesjuggalo]

Amen to that.

[adigovora]

Mike Awesome could have been the best wrestler ever!

[Travishing1]

pound 4 pound quote me on this "THIS WAS THE NEXT BIG THING WAY B4 Lesnar Big show & the rest of today's shitty big man wrestlers AWESOME, VADER, & BAM BAM Paved the was for the DOPE Big Man wrestlers.

[StoneColdKicksass15]

RIP Mike Awesome

[ExtremeECWv1]

Great tribute r.i.p Mike Awsome

[dennisbergkamp17]

It really is a shame that Awesome is gone, he should have made it huge in wrestling. I'll always remember his matches. R.I.P. Mike Awesome.

[TheShimelfly]

6,6 and real mean a living breathing war mashine..awesome is the best..his matche with tanaka were all great,his matches with spike too and his matches in japan with hayabusa also...

[TheThrasher499]

mike awesome is fucking awesome

pd: what song is? of maiden?

[bmxfreek22000]

Its Bruce Dickinson the singer from Iron Maiden covering Scorpions - The Zoo.

[EdmondSwitch]

@bmxfreek22000 FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!!!!!!!!

[anakinstarwars234]

he committed suicide

[JGar164sure]

Probably the most talented & underrated big man that of pro wrestling. Don't think we've seen a guy of his size flying around like a friggin' Cruiserweight.

His matches with Tanaka were the most entertaining and brutal.

RIP Mike.

[TheEddieVendetta]

@JGar164sure His shoot interview is worth a watch imho. He's probably one of the most honest wrestlers I've seen talk out of the ring, still very much a "hometown boy."

[veitroc]

amazing... could have done more.

[nickmeer]

For a big guy he was athletic

[max6413]

That match with spike was EPIC! RIP Mike....

[revan2131]

I followed his career in Japan, I was thrilled to see him as ECW champion, but I remember cursing the day he was born when he turned on ECW. Not because of the obvious, but because I knew his talents would be wasted by the ego's,and Russo's writting in WCW.

Taz=Human suplex machine

Awesome=King of the powerbomb

R.I.P Mike Awesome

[owenhartlover2008]

Mike died on my 12th birthday~February 17th, 2007

[owenhartlover2008]

Mike Awesome was Aquarius like me! Hell Yeah!

[secretingredient]

That really was awesome. Man, could that fucker fly!

[BigJasonStud]

hard to say anything that hasnt been said here already. but seeing him on the ecw ppvs, seeing him destroy poor lil spike dudley and kid kash, who are themselves among the best ever cruiserweights, well i dont think any man alive would wanna get into the ring with him after seeing those matches !! rip mike, hope your looking down at us remembering you and smiling ur ass off with some sexy babes cuddling ya =)

[BigJasonStud]

rip mike awesome =( one of my favorite wrestlers, arguably the greatest big men of all time and without a doubt the scariest and most capable of them all.

[brnayala]

one of the most freakn craziest, and best big man to ever wrestle. no other man will as close of being capable of doing the type of things that mike awesome did like jumping of the top ropes,spring board in n outside the ring its just un heard of 4 a man that size 2 be capable of such.....AWESOMNESS!!! RIP u will be truly missed.

[XtremistWrestler]

i would have loved to see him as a big heel in the wrestling business..

[uppercutter450]

Mike Awesome: One of the best (IMHO the best) powerhouses ever. I challenge Batista to do a springboard ar a suicide die to the outside.

[AMReese]

He'd probably rip his insides to shreds just from the effort required to do stuff like that.

[juancho39]

at his peak this guys was, erm, awesome. LOL

too bad the major promotions turned him into a joke

[uppercutter450]

I wish that most of our talent today went to Japan to home their skills. There are a list of so many like Awesome who did that and were seen as the best in the US.

[cyclone927]

I didnt know that Mike was dead!!! Damn! RIP Mike, is it true he comitted suicide? Whats what wiki says.

[Blayzinglight]

did he die from drugs he seems a little crazy

[19timmins83]

ECW Mike awsome vs WWF Brock lesnar. That would have bin awsome. RIP

[pellepellecorps]

when i first seen him power bomb kid kash from the top rope onto the table.. i thought he killed kid kash lol

[raiderkriswallace]

wow with the exception of undertaker awsome was by far the most graceful and safest big man in the business

[bokprop420]

hmm....i'm not sure bout that.

[Korshiksj]

RIP

[830texas830]

R.i.p. Mike Awesome

[GETSENT4]

This song rulz.

R.I.P. Mike Awesome. We barely knew ye.

[SinisterManiac]

Mike Awesome the best big man in wrestling ever! Right up there with Bam Bam.

It's a shame WWE underused him. WCW made him look like a retard. I can understand why he turned his back on ECW, but sadly that was the only company in North America that truly showcased him. RIP Mike Awesome. You would've killed that faggot Batista.

[Chrisdrumz]

You are aware pro wrestling is scripted right?

[Chrisdrumz]

You should've used the SCORPIONS version. It's far superior.

[secretingredient]

Mike Awesome should have been one of the greats. The guy had it all, but Vince and Eric never saw the potential. Now we've got Batista... pffft.

[getmashed]

he was truly awesome in ecw rip mike

[efieee]

I couldn't agree anymore

[RVC852]

what is the name of this song playing in this video?

[Chrisdrumz]

It's a cover of THE ZOO by The Scorpions. I'm not sure who it is,but the original is much better.

[SinisterManiac]

That's Bruce Dickinson, retard!!

[Chrisdrumz]

He sings MAIDEN songs better than SCORPIONS songs. I didn't even realize it was him. I prefer his "Air raid siren" voice.

[ramostarr]

dude the original version is great but its weak i just found out what the name of the song was i didnt know what the band was or anything

[Chrisdrumz]

THE ZOO by the SCORPIONS

[ramostarr]

Thanx dude

[heyhoergeefmijispils]

how he died roids?

[nimrodfalcon]

He committed suicide.

[heyhoergeefmijispils]

hahah ok thanks dude i dindnt know. so tumbing me down mean no to my question lol

[TheWholeYearInn]

Inhuman.

What a terrible waste for the WWE to misuse this phenomenal wrestler.

[ballsnot]

that just what the wwe does, miuse the true stars and push bums named cena, helmsley, hardy, taker, edge and plenty of others!

[DickyB79]

3:20 HOLY SHIT

RIP MIKE

[Yourdemiseisnear]

Mike Awesome ftw.

[madchief2000]

he was the man

[ledfnzeppelin]

I really miss Mike Awesome. The guy was, well, awesome! How amazing would have an Awesome/Lesnar or Awesome/Undertaker match have been in WWF/E if the company would have let Awesome do his thing like he was allowed to in Japan/ECW?!?!?! I say Undertaker would be 17-1 come this time next year! The best big man EVER! RIP Mike!

[esn2009]

i dont know wich move killd him

[WeizHerGigBuddy]

too bad both wcw and wwf dropped the ball with this guy. the fat chick thriller? that 70's guy? team canada?

wasted oppurtunity. they should've just let him kill people like ecw did. no gimmicks, just that guy mike with the mullet killing anything and everything in his way.

RIP Mike Awesome

[wrestlingfan1205]

He was simply AWESOME!!

[Hoganforever]

I've stopped watching wrestling for a few years.. sad to see Mike Awesome pass away :(

he was one of the best powerbombers in history.

[Odium1981]

Damn.. i totaly didn't know about this dude. He really is awesome!

[Y2JchrisJerichoRulez]

is that jeff jones with mike at the beginning?

[SinisterManiac]

No shit, retard!!

[cfhtg]

totally fuckin awesome,its a shame wwe didnt use him properly,he could've been huge,rip mike,your a legend

[stratsrule828]

its a cover of the scorpions song "the zoo"

[masterlordblaster]

[DZA213]

[YouGottaSeeRareDrop]

RIP Mike Awesome. You were and will always be the greatest big man in the pro wrestling business.
