@dontabaltimore1974 That damn red X used to give me the creeps 30 years ago... still does today! I know (now) it's just sensationalism, but dammit, I still get the creeps...
I didn't know that the lame red "X" censored sign had first appeared in the WWF in the early 1980s...the first time I remember seeing it is when Outlaw Ron Bass cut up Brutus Beefcake with his spurs prior to Summerslam 88.
@Derby14 I remember that in the 70s, I think it was if it got bloody, but more importantly, it was to entice you to buy tickets when they came to your local armory or war memorial for a show.
rofl, callin tito a wetback. just hilarious! i swear man, this was wrestling at its best. these guys were the greatest. just real characters and pure classic wrestling. this was our childhood man! we grew up on this shit and one thing i can say about that is that we were damn frikin lucky!!!!
You're right. "Roger's Corner" being a perfect example. It was the pre-cursor to Piper's Pit and all the other similar segments with Brutus Beefcake, Adrian Adonis, Brother Love, etc.
Yeah this was when mcmahon was sick with it. I remember watching this very show. It was may 1982. I also remember snuka getting piledriven twice by crippler stevens, and the coconut crack with piper. Snuka was my favorite!!!!
Oh WOW! Check out the 4:07 mark. The infamous CENSOR Red X! Does that bring it all back?? This is like 30 years ago - crazy. Where does the time all go :-(
actually i beg to differ, i read a book on pro wrestling and it started in the late 19th century with the traveling carnival/circuses, the matches would sometimes go on for days, but it hasn't been real for a long time
I remember watching this as a kid in my basement... I'd watch Sat. morning cartoons back when they were worth watching and then tune in for Championship Wrestling on Ch. 29 @ 11am and All Star Wrestling at 12noon on Ch. 17 here in Philly.
That's so funny. You can totally see Snuka blading himself after Muraco hits him with the mic then put it back in his trunks. Classic! Plus the old giant red X. Man, I miss those days. As a kid this was as good as it got. Thanks for posting.
Snuka and Muraco had a Fijian strap match at the Spectrum in Philadelphia,PA, and it was one of the most bloodiest if not THE most bloodiest match I've ever seen. Muraco won because they collided with the referee and he was knocked out, and when he came too, he saw Snuka with the strap off, and whipping Muraco into a bloody mess. Whoever took the strap off lost, so since Snuka had the strap off his wrist, the referee awarded the victory to Muraco, who ended up being hog tied by the strap.
This is my favorite feud of all time. It was because of this one event that I saw my very first card at Madison Square Garden for 2 of the matches in this feud. I saw the first grudge match on the MSG Network, but I did attend the classic cage match.
Andre made 1 million on 1975, but that was crazy money then. Most superstars (the best of the best) made 200-300k, guys like Muraco probably made 150-200k
we've got allentown pa tapings, Buddy rogers, a private, frankie williams, a figure four headlock, wet backs, snuka flying over a top rope, blading, and a big red x...simply doesn't get any better..the new WWE should watch the old WWF to see how it's done.
no, snuka slashed himself. muraco was tremendous, but no one was better at creating and selling the best grudge matches than snuka. a true legend.this was a man who enjoyed pain,blood ( 1 of the 1st to actually use a razor to cut himself for fanfare) and relished in it, no doubt, 1 of the greatest.
I've seen a few posts of Don Kernodle as being Snuka's opponent for that match. The work was that he and Sgt. Slaughter came to the WWE after losing the NWA belts to Steamboat & Youngblood. The work was that Slaughter was punishing Don by telling the promoters to keep him at the bottom. And Kernodle stated that he would take his punishment like a good private would. Unlike Jim Nelson.
@yardlet6 Jim Nelson became Boris Zuhkov. He and Soldat Ustinov held the AWA World Tag Team Title. Soldat wrestled in WWE as Johnny K-9, a journeyman. In his book, Arn Anderson said that Nelson was a slob outside the ring, also along with Pat Rose.
I remember this being one of the hottest feuds of the early 1980's i was a young lad but i remember the Apter Mags describing this feud they wrestled eachother for some time Jimmy Snuka was the man and Don Muraco was gritty tough.
I remember seeing him wrestle Snuka in a strap match at the Spectrum in Philly in 82. On the way to the ring he shot snot rockets at the ringside fans. He was soaked with beer, spit and soda coming and going to the ring. Muraco hooked the tights and won but Jimmy hog-tied him and splashed him pretty damn good.
Snuka was in town for a match years ago and he got arrested for beating his gir at the hotel they were staying. The newpaper said it took like 10 cops to control him. He was was throwing the cops around! Hahaha!!
hahaha "I hear this wetback" how awesome! I remember Bobby Heenan calling Santana "the flying burrito" aahahhahaha classic. And Hacksaw Butch Reed in the segments saying "chico Santana" that cracked me up everytime. Lighten up peeps my parents are from "mejico"
man i was like 10 at the time this was being filmed and snuka was my favorite,he was in all sorts of feuds with other wrestlers pus he had the superfly leap which was the most impressive finishing move back the and is stuillbeing imitated now .
Sounds like Roddy Piper... they were good friends and Piper helped Muraco with his promos. The backstage clique in the 80's was Piper, Orton, Muraco, Bret Hart, etc.
some people may not know "blades" is a term when a wrestler cuts himself for the "performance" you can clearly see snuka trying and getting an object to cut his forehead to make it appear as if the microphone cut him.great video though,thanks
Don was a great heel and a terrific Intercontinental Champion in the early 80s. The WWF should have taken better care of him; they didn't push him properly later on in the decade.
I first heard on Don when he was in the nwa. Humperdink used to manage him. There was a sneak footage of Don practicing to get out of a Boston Crab fininishing move. He was preparing for his jump to WWF and Pedro Morales. It was for several seconds. The person with the camera was chased out. Gordon Solie hosted.
If I'm not mistaken, Jimmy Snuka was suppose to win the Intercontinental title instead of Tito Santana. However, this was entertaining minus the "ugly" red censored x.
This is one of the WWF mileposts (involving Snuka)of the early 80's.The first is Snuka taking the piledrivers from Ray Stevens.The 2nd is this incident and the 3rd is the Piper coconut incident!
These 3 incidents paved the way for what was to come in the late 80's.
did anyone notice snuka blade himself whe he got hit with the mic? i always hated that damn red censored "x" back then. they did the same thing when blackjack clawed some poor slob to a bloody mess.
This was the glory days of wrestling, before everything went commercial and choreographed. Snuka was one of the greatest wrestlers. The Muraco and Snuka fued was one of the best ever.
I remember this. Muraco was one of my favorite wrestlers and Snuka-Muraco is a classic feud. They never showed the blood from the blade jobs on free tv back then. They've come a long way.
Oh man! Taped at Agricultural Hall in Allentown PA! My friends used to go & tell me the outcomes of the matches 3 weeks before it was on TV! I miss this stuff.
Geez...Snuka was an outstanding wrestler and very underrated bleeder. He'd bleed if you hit him over the head with a pillow. He's kinda obvious doing it too...
The guy walking by the ring at the start of the segment was Don Kernodle who worked WWF prelims although he had a big push in Mid Atlantic. Also, the follow up was Snuka going nuts and throwing chairs around.
1cpw. I remember watching that scene on tv when Snuka was throwing the chairs all over the place. If it's the same one it has Vince interviewing him yelling Jimmy! Jimmy! when he was going psycho. What year was that? That clip is classic. Can someone post it? Thanks!
great stuff... the only other time I saw the BIG RED X was when Black Jack Mulligan had the claw on some jobber and blood was coming out of his nose and forehead and then the RED X came on...lol
nobody on the current W.W.E. roster can cut a promo like Magnificent Don Muraco.... learn boys, please learn.

I also remember a big red X when Jake The Snake pulled Rick Rude tights off with Cheryl Roberts face on him.

Geez...Snuka was an outstanding wrestler and very underrated bleeder. He'd bleed if you hit him over the head with a pillow. He's kinda obvious doing it too...

The guy walking by the ring at the start of the segment was Don Kernodle who worked WWF prelims although he had a big push in Mid Atlantic. Also, the follow up was Snuka going nuts and throwing chairs around.

1cpw. I remember watching that scene on tv when Snuka was throwing the chairs all over the place. If it's the same one it has Vince interviewing him yelling Jimmy! Jimmy! when he was going psycho. What year was that? That clip is classic. Can someone post it? Thanks!
