Eddie Gilbert beats up Tommy Rich real bad...again

[7oldschoolmac7]

a guy in the business told me that a couple shots of jack daniels and a few aspirin would produce plenty of 'juice' after blading himself during a match

[themightycelestial]

I haven't watched rasslin' since I was a kid,

But watching this vid brngs back all those memories of watching the bad guys win b'cuz ref's back was turned or he was outta the ring.

I can't imagine that that formula has changed much.

[vicleep]

im heare for real beats up

[zaius316]

It's weird that only a few months before this, Gilbert was a WWF TV jobber. Then he became the hottest heel in Memphis, and rightfully so.

[Chuloloc]

Awesome. Old school wrestling.

[theaznlvr]

its true about the blood and alcohol my mom has health problems and the drs told her to either take aspirin everyday or drink a beer or two every day to thin her blood out

[denzelsnipes69]

Damn, Tommy Rich bleeds a lot.

[billwx1]

I thought aspirin was used to thin blood. I doubt much drinking before the matches. I wouldn't want my opponent drinking before.

[caddywumpus47]

Yeah, aspirin is used for that purpose but alcohol will thin the blood too.

[SandyKrebs]

I heard a rumor that the reason why Rich could bleed a gusher was because he would drink plenty of beer before it to make the blood thinner. Don't know if scientifically that is true, but I don't doubt Rich drank a lot of beer.

[80swrestlingfan]

Yes, that is true that alcohol thins the blood. I read that a lot of wrestlers who had to "blade" during matches would drink beforehand.

[Sargebri]

@80swrestlingfan They also will load up on aspirin due to the fact that that will thin the blood as well.

[wrest101]

Taht was a gusher that tommy was bleeding. classic memphis.

[jaymes7872]

tommy lost alot of blood blading,and what does he have to show for it NOTHING! OH YEAH BUT A SCARRED UP FOREHEAD. LIKE CARLOS COLON ABDULLAH, SNUKA DUSTY AND ALL THE REST OF THOSE FOREHEAD CUTTING FREAKS.

[GoblinGirl]

Tommy was one of those habitual bladers, like Abdullah the Butcher and Dusty Rhodes.

You can see him blading at 2:30, right after Eddie hits him with the boot.

[jbneely]

Yeah, that's a blatant bladejob. Hogan bladed regularly during his WCW run as well. Hell, for that matter, so did Flair...though when Flair worked with someone he trusted (Wahoo, Harley, etc), I think he had them do the honors.

[GoblinGirl]

Flair did blade a lot (in all promotions). I don't remember Hogan's tenure in WCW too much. I never watched WCW for the most part. In the WWF/WWE, I only remember one blade job against Sgt. Slaughter for the championship (right around the first Iraq War).

[tomterahedrob]

I saw your channel.Why do you like it so bloody?

[GoblinGirl]

It's not bloody, but dramatic. I like these old school matches because they built up a great storyline over the course of months. They don't do that anymore.

[tomterahedrob]

@GoblinGirl mmm so true

[thenoblegeek]

Tommy certainly tapped an artery on that one! You can see him blade a second time around 2:54 which suggests he wasn't happy with the results from the first gig job. Great stuff!

[GoblinGirl]

Rich was an eternal bleeder, like Dusty Rhodes, Abdullah, and the Sheik.

[86lenny]

After Bundy slams him at about 2:15 you can see Rich grab the blade from his left wrist.

[livendapast]

@86lenny Yep i saw that.

[80swrestlingfan]

I have read that they were paid more if they would blade during a match.

[livendapast]

@GoblinGirl ur right.

[bluesky8921]

I saw a video with a match with Tommy Rich in a high school gym and a drunk commentator.

Rich never got hit in the head, but started bleeding after a kick to the gut. It was hilarious

[ftechone]

what a bleeder tommy rich was!

[Havanabra]

Eddie Gilbert was awesome

I wish he went to the WWF and shit in Lawlers crown

[zaius316]

weird seeing Bundy with pants.
