Tatanka vs. Jay Lethal From TNA iMPACT

[lumbeem]

Tatanka he a member of my tribe lumbee

[medraut567]

I'm not a big fan of TNA themes, but I really like the one they made for Tatanka.

[kisser83]

what is the date on this?

[JonahMills006]

@joshuadiesel 

[JonahMills006]

racist against native warcry? mate?

[Lugzeh]

hahaha "american india"

[DJpartymaker]

ugh FAKE

[mattcarlucci]

"Indian Death Drop"? WTF?

[thethunderbird87]

Lethal was a fuckin jackoff he would have been cool if he wasn't a fuckin Randy Savage ripoff

[Steav00]

I remember back in wwf when IRS took Tatankas feather head gear and beat him with them while yelling at Tatanka, "you haven't paid your taxes for these". Then I thought how in the fuck is Tatanka getting hit by feathers and trying to sell like he's getting hit by a baseball bat?!

[Steav00]

Lol Tatanka still wrestles. Man he got fat! I remember back in W

[joshuadiesel]

tatanka theme in the wwf was like ayyyyyyyyyyyyy gay gay gay gay gay lol

[redrey718619]

It sucks that J left. He chose the right thing though. I would like to see him back. I wanna see guys like him or red with the world title.

[twelvgage1984]

god i miss tatanka

[LeFTy791882]

When was this from ???

used to love tatanka, havnt seen him for years

[Diesel557]

Tatanka haha freaking a-mazing haha

[dersim662]

fatt mother fucker hahah



[UWL11v]

Tatanka. Still got it :)

[aaronfowlowmusic]

Tatanka can still go better than half the monkies in WWE and TNA(opps... Impact Wrestling) today. He has always been one of my favorites though. I disliked WWE's decision to turn him heel back in his last WWE run. It SUCKED! It was horrible! Tatanka always belongs as a face, no matter what, just my opinion.

[neoimean7]

HE STILL WRESTLES?

[LEPLJ]

Am I the only person here that thinks this is fake?

[808TROY]

@LEPLJ Its scripted dude

[DrewBludd]

@LEPLJ .........what? Everyone knows its fake. What kind of weirdo thinks there are still people out there who think its real?

[ZERO9098767]

@LEPLJ damn, its fake, i never knew that. Thanks for telloing me, i mean, i just never knew. I really thought Undertaker was a magic using zombie. fucking dumbass

[MultiSinoda]

@ZERO9098767 : D

[ZERO9098767]

@LEPLJ its not, i still remember seeing this myself. I think it happened either in 09-10.

[LechuRuczaj]

Nice teatr

[biggerthanyou79]

this legend thing with lethal was just a ripoff of Orton's legend killing gimmick, except lethal got killed by the legends

[jhniscolV2]

@biggerthanyou79

this was way after the legend killer gimmick

the idea was that ethal was supposed to turn heel after getting squashed repeatedly, and thus he would drop the gimmick after he lost to Savage (RIP). These plans were scrapped

[biggerthanyou79]

@jhniscolV2 yea way after the legend killer gimmick, meaning it made it easier for tna to copy off it without trying to be noticed

[jhniscolV2]

@biggerthanyou79

that is seriously a stretch of the imagination

TNa does mimic WWE at times, and reflects what WWE does, however this wasn't one of them

[biggerthanyou79]

@jhniscolV2 no imagination involved, im simply observing whats happening

[jhniscolV2]

@biggerthanyou79

i dont see any copying of the WWE from that whatsoever. i just see a stretch of the imagination

[biggerthanyou79]

@jhniscolV2 u must be blind

[jhniscolV2]

@biggerthanyou79

no dude, ive been quick to point out TNA's mimicing of the WWE, and I cannot do that in this situation

Here's the facts

1) Jay Lethal was a tribute and parody of Randy Savage (RIP)

2) Jay Lethal didn't have a push

3) Jay Lethal idolized legends of wrestling

4) Jay Lethal needed a push so a heel turn was thought up

He loses to icons, thus he gets pissed and stops revering them as much and becomes plain Jay Lethal

[lunchbox420able]

@jhniscolV2 the thing I like about the parody of Savage was that he got an ok from Savage himself saying that it was ok to parody him whic I really like

[phREaker419]

this guy can still go! I first saw him in Survivor Series 1992 against Rick Martel and still have the VHS. always thought he should have been pushed more to the top in those days

[i1dont1give1a1shit0]

I WANT THE SIX SIDES BACK!

[petterskaar]

so fake

[DarkmatterDM]

@petterskaar

You're so pathetic.

[petterskaar]

@DarkmatterDM am i really. u can see that they are not getting hurt by any of this, this is really the first time i've watched wrestling movies, and from looking at it for 5 sec i could tell this was fake. any person believing this must be a inbreed dumb ass, sorry

[TerminusEst13]

@petterskaar Hey hey. Did you know that the Matrix was fake? Hard to believe, but it's true! They had wires and stunt doubles and choreographed action scenes.

Oh, wait, you already knew? You just suspended your disbelief in order to enjoy it? Whoah. Fancy that.

[runetube12345]

@petterskaar no duh its fake idiot..... the slams hurt though you really dont relize that most wrestlers lives are messed up for the rest of their lives because they do get hurt a lot of the time

[ExplodingBeavers]

@petterskaar we know its fake. we are not stupid you know? movies are fake. tv shows are fake. so why do you watch tv and movies if fakeness bothers you so much?

[petterskaar]

@ExplodingBeavers wow u are retarded. i watch tv shows because its cool and its entertaining, this is suppose to be a sport and its not entertaining nor exciting. jesus fucking hillbillie

[ExplodingBeavers]

@petterskaar you fail to understand that this is entertaining for a lot of people. the world doesnt spin around you (a shocker). and how can i be a hillbilly when i live in a city?

[trenq13]

@petterskaar

um it's called sports entertainment. do you understand that ? clearly you are retarded..

[formhand]

lol tatanka war bei tna... wie geil is das denn?! da hatte tna für diese zeit sogar mal niveau! oldschool wrestling ftw

[rockervipro]

fake and gay

[zZHighTimeZz]

@rockervipro dont watch it then

[Visionsunhendrix]

This is a flashback match: Tatanka vs. Macho Man.

[THCJunkiE]

just don't give tantaka any fire water lol

[SuperDragonICP]

WTF is Tatanka doing in TNA?!?

[HipnosisV1Games]

@SuperDragonICP actually wrestling unlike WWE lol

[Ellthom]

Tatanka for Hall of Fame!!!

[goldenboy28100]

didnt know wrestlers actually lose to the samon drop finisher

[GodLordWM]

AAAAAAAAJJJ THAT WAS GOOD

[ThaBestHardStyleBaby]

Tatanka Hardstyle FTW!!

[StopCollisionMotion]

i saw tatanka vs cannonball from ECW and cannonball was atleast 500 pounds and did a front flip. and bret hart made a appearance ;) ;) ;)

[nhlalwenhlezondo]

Never even knew this match happened, lawls!

[primitivodemetrio]

Fighting against legends, wow. (Jay Lethal = Lucky)

[ShaulTheHitMan]

Long live Chris!

[14zup]

Tatanka looked pretty darn impressive in this one. For being fat and old anyway. I really wasn't feeling Neidhart's new blimp look, but I still (partially) agree with what Pcfan11 said about Tatanka being one of a handful who can pull off being fat and still wrestling.

[Dinschen77]

lol

[TheWarpedVinyl]

where's the rest of the match?

[zzDzCzCzz]

Tatanka's beer belly FTW!!!

[Pcfan11]

Tatanka and Neidhart are two of the only wrestlers that look good fat.

[sambudwiser]

@Pcfan11 Look at the WWE or TNA audience. Not a single person looks good in the entire audience. And it proves how little you know, Tat is in great shape for his age.

[Pcfan11]

I wasn't criticizing him or anything.

[adultzfun]

@Pcfan11...I agree, they are a couple of big healthy solid muscle fat men...

[Nez2jlp]

Why do all the native american wrestlers do the same "Tomahawk" chop?

[pascalaka]

@Nez2jlp I don't know? Why do all Samoan wrestlers do the samoan drop?

[Goukimessatsu2]

@pascalaka I don't know either. Why is John Cena the greatest wrestler ever?

[pascalaka]

@Goukimessatsu2 there you go man...you're off-topic. you missed the point. lol.

[Goukimessatsu2]

@pascalaka LOL I was just going along with the why questions?

[ImSoBundy]

Smackdown vs raw is better

[walteur]

stupid fakers -_-

[BARGAIN02]

wow tatanka looks great

[cRs93318]

I used to be a hard core Tatanka fan in the 90's....but that doesn't look wright in the ring any longer. He look's as if he swallowed a a whole barrel.

[MeXiCaNxMeTaLhEaD]

holy shit tatanka!! haha he's gained a few but still :)

[WrestlingPage]

Even Though Tatanka and Jim Neidhart Are Middled Aged Men , They Can Actually Get WINS! Unlike Ric Flair and Kevin Nash. I Say Let Them Have One More Run in wrestling in TNA! Thumb Up If You Agree!

[TheMysticWolfAura]

Im glad TNA gave Tatanka a good win. Bless his heart he still looks good. And Jay Lethal being the new Randy Savage, this seemed like a classic match.

[sxyash69]

Black Machismo is the worse most pathetic character iv ever seen, wrestling has had its best era, in the late 80's early nineties it were SOOOOO much better. Now you have shit boring characters wi no charisma or real plots/grudges eg Jake the Snake and Macho Man. People that watch this crap wanna be watchin MMA, thats where the entertainment is now, and its real!

[crang51]

@sxyash69

What kind of "entertainment" do you mean? I tried to watch mma once, so slow, boring and stupid, felt asleep. So cut that crap.

Yes, I agree - maybe Jay haven't much personality, but there is a lot guys who rocks. Anderson, Hardy, Angle, Kaz etc.

How you can even compare this daredevils to humping mma faggets?

[sxyash69]

@crang51 lol. John Cena as champion? WTF. MMA is where its at now, im afraid you missed the bus my friend. Its had its best era already n them days will never come back. Each to there own tho, enjoy watchin them uncharismatic roid heads play out their unimaginitve pathetic storylines lol

[crang51]

Oh, please! it's all about Cena being a champion?

Mma is where a bunch of faceless guys trying to hit (damn, seven attempts to kick and only one impact), then hugging and eventually bleds like pigs on slaughterhouse. It not "where its now" just because you some how like it. The fans of mma just a little more agressive and loud and it is why all pop about.

[crang51]

What do you try to prove here? I just don't see reason to even compare, they just can't deliver me things I'd like to watch, it's just a sport - the rules and law makes it even more predictable then all Cena's matches.

With a same desire you can watch boxing, it's a sport of gentlemen... at least they told so)))))

[SeanOMatic]

@crang51

Seen Brock Lesnar lately?

[Truck3451]

@crang51 I have to agree with you. wrestlers do it 5-6 nights a week where as MMA guys do it once every few months. Could you imagine watching a world champion defend his title every 3 ppv...go ahead say I am wrong then check out brock lesnar's MMA career.

[tmbttes]

this is one of the reasons TNA is better than the current WWE product, they let past greats have one last shot at glory, Tatanka with a win here was great, if he had showed up in WWE, they would have had him losing to Dolph Ziggler for goodness sake

[thisisshane90]

@tmbttes So you're saying that let the old greats push over current up coming talents? no WWE is the product to watch they make their stars and don't always let the past greats get the glory. Unlike TNA who just constantly buy out former WWE stars cause they wouldn't know how to make a good talent. Look at the TNA roster its full of former WWE supertars man...

[tmbttes]

@thisisshane90 by looking at your name, you're probably born in 1990, which means that you have absolutely no clue of who Tatanka is, you're one of those fans who were raised in the Attitude era and now love John Cena and Randy Orton but unfortunately were not born or were just little babies when true greats and true legends like Mr. Perfect, Rick Rude, Bret Hart, Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, Jake Roberts, Randy Savage were in their primes

[thisisshane90]

@tmbttes I'm very familiar with Tatanka. If you don't believe me check out my video collection of WWF videos that range from the late 80s to the early 2000s. I grew up during the attitude era but I prefered the earlier era even if it meant me watching tapes from like 1988 of WWF when the year was like 1997. To be honest Bret Hart is my all time favourite wrestler. Those were great wrestlers and can never be compared too but I learnt I must move on with todays stuff as great as WWF was.

[juwelzzzz]

realllly tatanka was in tna?! haha they are pretty lame

[Jsun7897]

Hell yeah Tatanka was in great shape for his age, screw the haters...

[adrian24]

@Jsun7897 yeah, he's pretty much looked the same since his wwe days.

[charlytheo2007]

I've met Tatanka when he was over in the UK during early 2000s. Great man good to see this.

[lukeThug]

wow I Think Tatanka Could Go For Another 8 Years Or So!

Look At Him! 49 Years old and He Looks Fantastic and He Still Has Lots Of Agility!

Tatanka is One Of My Favorite Wrestlers

Hope He Signs With TNA

[latintiger]

wow he's back cool

[sovereign126]

only in america do you see fat cunts "fight"

the sad part is they don't actually hurt eachother. they talk about how people get injured all the time in wrestling.

you have to remember they do this every day, i get hurt at work too. MMA fighters do VERY FEW matches, the injury rate is much higher.

real men, real risks. not american sport.

btw, the only tatanka is DJ Tatanka, not some fat guy in a fucking pair of budgie smugglers.

faggots.

[MikeDesadario]

@sovereign126 what the fuck are you talkin about? pro wrestling is fake, everybody knows this. youre the billionth retard who has this understanding problem.

[sovereign126]

@MikeDesadario i just said it's fake

i told you it's fake

you're the fan, and the retard with the comprehension problem.

[MikeDesadario]

@sovereign126 only when people are getting hurt do they earn the respect of sovereign126. what a life you must lead.

[sovereign126]

@MikeDesadario actually wrestlers get hurt all the time.

the point of wrestling is to provide fight entertainment without the "hurt"

seriously. you're a fan of fat people wrestling. and you say "what a life you must lead"

you watch something fake, and call it entertainment. is your life so vain, that you've got to watch fake crap just to fill that void you call a life?

[MikeDesadario]

@sovereign126 you're right! maybe we should burn the fiction sections of our public libraries!

[sovereign126]

@MikeDesadario i'm more talking about the tastelessness of it. some fiction is actually interesting. this isn't tasteful, it's not logical, it's fat dudes in budgie smugglers.

not only this, but it's actually TRYING to be fake. it's not some adventure story which by some stretch of imagination could be real, it's just fat dudes in budgie smugglers.

i hate to piss on your parade, but name sports other than weetbix championships, wood chopping, and sumo where the athletes are fat?

[MikeDesadario]

@sovereign126 dude what is this obsession with hating fat people in sports? TRYING to be fake? what does that even mean? fake is fake. entertainment. for real, guy, you should just leave it alone if you don't like it. personally i really hate the rapper Jay Z, but i dont go under all his videos talking about how the man has no flow, is boring, and uses beats that would embarrass his own audience if they knew where the sample came from... although those are logical points. not THE GUY IS FAT!!!!

[sovereign126]

@MikeDesadario ok

take soccer. people hate on the guy that fakes having a sore leg because he got tackled.

now theres an entire sport based on pretending to be hurt (not saying it's not physical, but you can do it 5 days a week). now perhaps you see why i criticise.

that and he's a fat dude in budgie smugglers. seriously. like i said before

"i hate to piss on your parade, but name sports other than weetbix championships, wood chopping, and sumo where the athletes are fat? "

[MikeDesadario]

@MikeDesadario go back and read your first comment and realize how absolutely worthless it was.

[GnarlsOakley]

More like Fatanka AmiRite

[ValisFan2]

Its good Tatanka is back. I really liked his Native American theme.

[viper90988]

tatanka needs to loose a bit of weight

[dciguy01]

I miss Tatanka. He was very underrated and should have gotten an IC title reign during his run in the WWE.

[HipnosisV1Games]

Brutus Magnus did it and people hated it...Tatanka does it and put it over lol

[HipnosisV1Games]

Tatanka is under rated

[deezaldave]

Lethal is garbage and should be hung for us all to see

[XocMastaNico12]

are tatanka in TNA?

[heterosp]

Great trunks and muscles on Jay Lethal! Would love to see him in even skimpier wear, being tortured until he passes out!

[TheBigNightMare666]

Booo,haha but check out Loaded Gunnzz tracks on here leave feed bak love em hate em we make em nd get paid 4 em!!

[MRDXKLIQ101]

i dont see they why the dont hire chris what would hurt he still in dencent shape after all these yrs the anvil got fatter so did rick steiner

[MMADreamer]

I like tatanka's ring atire. Realy bitchin. Canu equip something like that to a svr2010 character?

[SexyDaley]

fire the boring nasty boys and replace with Tantaka and Neidhart. their fun to watch.

[darthdoodie101]

@SexyDaley I agree

[HellsAngels0012]

@SexyDaley replace all 4 of them with stone cold Shawn Mickels Brock Lesner and bring back evan bourne (he used to be in tna)

[jamexxxxxx]

i wish to see some cool legend like sabu,new jack or sid vicious

[SpudAlmighty]

new jack a legend??? The guy cant even wrestle decently! He's a hack and always will be!

[Steven5812]

This match was way better than Lethal/Neidhart; Tatanka clearly has some ring cred left.

And Metalocalypse, be careful what you wish for - it just might come true. :'-(

[sexydarkness91]

Lol i argee with u

[sexydarkness91]

He still look the same after all these years wow somethings never change

[999xander999]

He has put a lot of weight on!

[SINStrykerSF]

Tatanka did say he wasn't done with WWE and will return someday .

[MakDakProductions]

is he still in tna?

[Bamsebobster]

tatanka shoud stay in wwf

[shittlesticks]

I find it really strange that they are constantly making Jay Lethal lose these invitationals. I mean, these wins would really help push Lethal, not to mention he is the only one in these matches who is actually a full time TNA superstar. Hopefully this is all for some bigger plan to give Jay a good push for once.

[VIWscotland]

Jay Lethal is a good parody....stone cold Shark Boy Sucked

[chewyngooey]

wow i never knew tatanka made a tna appearance! (let alone a match!)....i started watching in 1993 so tatanka is a childhood fav of mine

[CaptDouglasJayFalcon]

He's 48 years old give him a break. Besides he looks good for a 48 year old.

[angrynostolgiamann12]

@CaptDouglasJayFalcon He looks alot better then most wrestlers his age

[jamexxxxxx]

@CaptDouglasJayFalcon well sting looks better

[stnlymrm812t]

@CaptDouglasJayFalcon he's 48??? r u serious

[dullKnife]

@CaptDouglasJayFalcon His that old??? man time flies

[silicon605]

@CaptDouglasJayFalcon BESIDES, HE IS NOT COPYING MACHO LIKE THAT JUNGLE BOY IS DOING!

[juunniie]

@HollywoodKendrick

I saw him this year at Lumbee Homecoming and he is still a BEAST. I definitely wouldn't fuck with him.

[HollywoodKendrick]

THATS A FULL BLOODED LUMBEE INDIAN

[MegaManZeroV1]

Damn shame he beat HBK all those times in the early 90s and never got some kind of run as the IC champ. Not even as a transitional champ.

Tatanka will always be the man though!

[DallasSanDiego]

WHAT!!!!!

Tatanka never got a title

that is bullshit

[Reptoyd]

Tatanka will win the World strap at lockdown

[Ruman17]

the only good thing i can see coming from this invitational is that eventually Jay Lethal gets pissed off and drops the machismo gimmick

[spinemelter2000]

I hope so. I assumed they would start taking him seriously once he did the promo following his win over Team 3D where he reclaimed his X Division title and used his normal voice. It would be cool if the real Randy Savage made an appearance and told Jay Lethal that he should be himself and that there's only one Macho Man, and Jay would be pushed to the main event.

[JeffSCorn]

Never seen Lethal outside of TNA, have you? In TNA, he's doing exactly what he needs to do for his job.

[jarick911]

STFU.

He is doing great besides this is awesome tribute and the real machismo like it..

so shut up u pet of DX

[theesch]

...maybe it's a sign that Vince doesn't view TNA as a "legitimate threat" anymore?...

[theesch]

and, from what i know about wrestling trademarks as far as Vince goes...(my friend owns and runs VCW in Virginia)...Vince will let a wrestler go by his trademarked name, if he wrestles for a small, local, indy, regional promotion...but, won't if it's for the "other" company...remember, he had shit-fit over Chyna using "Chyna" and Team 3-D using "Dudley Boyz" a few years back...

[theesch]

i don't how Tatanka was able to appear on TNA programming with the name "Tatanka"...since it's a trademarked name OWNED by WWE...perhaps Dixie had to pay a little for this appearance?

[OwenStillLives]

tatanka owns his name.

[TheFlashman]

Have they sweetened the audio on this match coz the crowd were practically asleep when I watched. Unlike the Anvil's match.

[lsmatrix]

Man I love lethals gimmick I hope he doesn't drop it... hogan better have brains enough to keep this gimmick. I can't wait to see what lethal do when he meets hogan lol.

[Fresnos]

@lsmatrix Why would it be Hogan's decision? People are acting like Hogan is gonna come in and get the book right away. Don't believe the crap that Hogan spews in interviews, he's not gonna be in charge.

[lsmatrix]

Fresnos you are probably right, I am just saying if hogan have the power to actually drop the six sided ring that been with tna for like ages now you would think he have the power to change peoples characters up aswell.. But for the love of god I hope you are right.

[Fresnos]

@lsmatrix He's dropping the six sided ring? Where do you get this BS information from?

[lsmatrix]

Yeah man you didn't hear about that? Goggle "Hogan six sided ring" and you will get plenty of information on it.

[Fresnos]

@lsmatrix I won't google it because it's BS. If Meltzer hasn't mentioned it it's not true.

[lsmatrix]

mmmmk, hey man I aint trying to argue with you, just telling you what I know. And I know its not BS, but whatever man this is my last time posting on this vid regardless of what you reply even if its insults.

[mvc2juggernaut]

how about a ECW legend like sabu that would be great!

[Onishiko]

You do know that Sabu actually Wrestle in TNA in for a while like around 2005-2006. Some of the best old Tna matches you'll like is the one with Sabu vs Abyss

[thewtruth]

They've totally neutered Lethal.

[derektvmontenegro1]

if jay lethal thinks hes randy savage then hes gonna have to fight legends because randy savage fought legends

[denmarkkingV2]

i know it Tatanka was a legend!

i just hope he would stay in TNA

[Kontkaalnes]

Tatanka was in great shape after such a lengthy absence :o

[26bagel]

He has been wrestling all over the world since his departure from the WWE. I met him recently at a show in England. He isn't the nicest of people but at least I got a photo with him, even if I did have to pay him!

[respectmyfresh719]

I hope the next legend is buff bagwell or someone tight

[derektvmontenegro1]

why does jay lethal have to fight legends every month is it because hes acting like hes randy savage and there going to beat some sense into him that hes not mach man randy savage!

[respectmyfresh719]

Yea pretty much
