Diamond Studd vs Rick Ryder

[EGarrett01]

Diamond Studd + Tony Montana = Razor Ramon

[fukimotoz]

I miss the days of jobbers. I think what the industry is missing today are jobbers.

[joshpk84]

@fukimotoz turn on todays wwe, they're all jobbers haha just awful. impact wrestling & right of honor are pro wrestling in 2011

[ryder4lifer]

Rick Ryder WWWYKI BRO

[Milodiablo]

Wow, here's a huge fun fact. Did you know, Rick Ryder's real name is Razor Rick Ryder? This isn't a joke, but actually real. The irony of this is, later on, the Diamond Studd would later become...

"The Bad Guy, RAZOR Ramon"

Pretty interesting.

[Milodiablo]

Oh my god Rick Ryder 0:26-0:29 hahahaha

[frnksng]

And everyone says Scott Hall was too similar to Razor Ramon. They obviously forgot about the Diamond Studd

[Lloydgo]

holy deca!

[Thebadguy1987]

Poor jobber!!!

[sc38ful]

eney body remember when scott hall whent by gator hall a brought a small gator to the ring with him i cant find it on here i think it was pro wrestling from florida but im not shure

[bkstyle82]

Memories of sitting down in the living room floor and playing with the action figures. man nice throwback

[MrAmbicious]

There is this one theme stud had and I wanted it but couldn't find it though. Frown.

[Buckeyecat2002]

The greasy tooth picked Diamond Studd heal along with loud mouth DDP had more heat than the dull and square blonde Tom Sellick wannabe Hall.

[dentalun]

scott hall (eazor ramon) sorry diamond studd

[Flexy319]

everything is just like his Razor gimmick. the call for the finishing manuever when he spreads his arms out, everything. he was way more better after he got rid of the mustache and blonde hair. HALL = GOD

[armstrong2mcgrady2k1]

Yeah I was a kid, but I remember his WCW career as Diamond Studd. He even threw out his toothpick back then!

[danpats1]

his gimmick was kind of similar to ravishing rick rude

[iNNeViTable1]

Scott Hall laid his ass out! LOL

2 Sweet!

[bkstyle82]

Wonder if the Tommy Rich Diamond Studd match is on here. I think it was on a ppv. I remember rooting for Tommy Rich

[Whyisthisthat]

Rick Ryder Looks like the Russian President Vladir Putin

[esliass123]

This whas the first match i ever watched of wrestling.

[more11231]

This proves why I hate DDP.

[VBscum]

Sigh..... I miss jobbers. Or decent wrestlers for that matter. I must say WCW dropped the ball on Scott Hall the first time around... or should I say Diamond Studd.

[trentacid008]

Diamond Dallas Page was so awesome.

That is, until Vince worked his "magic".

[SymphonyOfDestruct99]

wow he's really gigantic. is it steroid?

[ParticleSon]

That was the roid era so it shouldn't be a surprise. I remember he was smaller when he reached wwf, right around the time they had the steroid controversy. Damn he was huge tho lol....

[beef434]

My brother met Scott Hall at a Cracker Barrel in Georgia- mid 90's.He said he was alot bigger than he seemed on T.V.

He said he was straight to the point! But nice.

[crookedong]

thats the only broad they could find, iv`e seen better legs on a chair

[ProCorona]

scott hall looks bigger here than in his days as razor later on

[108Stars]

Cool, Diamond Studd already had pretty much the characteristic behaviour of Razor Ramon.

[dadankness]

Thats awesome around the 1;%0-2:04 mark.. Scott hall still does the choke slam.. and hes not even making fun of the big slow yet.. good shit

[smashher]

I remember Diamond Studd did his finishing move and bust the guy wide open. Was the first time I saw blood on wrestling

[WrestlingFreak300]

The tooth Pick always Diamond Studd,Razor Ramon,Scott Hall

[weldnspectre]

hall...... vader bomb?

[1975tooto]

At 1.12 the tooth pick and the finnishing maneuver(Razors Edge) were evolved into to WWE!

[Gamebox27]

Yes, and I always thought that NWO Scott Hall was really more like Diamond Studd than a continuation of the Razor gimmick, in spite of the fact that he'd often beat up on DDP that time around.

[1975tooto]

You are so right!

[1975tooto]

I think he had his last fued with Rick Rude!

[cmarshall1984]

Scott Hall was HUGE when he was the Diamond Studd...

I wish Hall would get in the gym so he could do one more good run...

[vanslo22]

i wish he could come back too, but he's 50 years old now so thats not gunna happen. too bad

[nickloks]

if you listen to his rf video shoots he was on roids here!! not to mention he's an alcoholic!!

[ZmickTrick]

He was even bigger when he was in the AWA.

[QuentinDude]

The WWF wanted to give Hall a Gi Joe type army dude character and Hall came up with the idea for Razor Ramon.

[karlosrules]

I miss these jobber vs superstar matches I really liked them cos they would showcase each wrestlers style yet in dominant fashion.

[gregalon]

Especially when the guys get to really show their stuff. He's got a great moveset in this match. Compare that to the up and coming guys doing squash matches on ECW these days. It's just punch/kick/rest hold/finisher. You can't make an impact like that.

[TheGatekeeper7thSeal]

The Z-Man knows what kinda damage he can wreak.

lol

good old Z-Man, no one took an asswhoopin better than Tom Zenk.

[Outbreak3r]

The ORIGINAL 3D. The Diamond...Death...DROP.

BOOM.

[travisrosenau]

yeah scott hall was a wcw original

[StellarMortem]

Rick Ryder looks retarded!

[upside15]

"chizzoled stone, bad to the bone" but like my dude said, if Rick Rider doesn't get a push soon, im done with wrestling....

[commanderpolska]

Hall was a big motherfucker back then.

[mexxa84]

Yeah, thats crazy... ,ever knew he got that big. he should have sticked with it and never started drinking. He could have been the biggest ever.

[nagamanesh]

Somewhere when I read abt AWA pro-wrestling......Scott Hall a replacement of Hulk Hogan (when Hulk left to different company...not sure but either WWF or WCW) 'coz of his muscular size and also had handlebar mustache with a bit brown hair.

[skinwalkerxxx]

Man the Diamond Studd was very similar to the Razor Ramon gimmick. Here I thought Vince had created the whole thing. Silly me.

[thedamntruth]

Nah, not really. And Scott Hall just auditioned a parody from the movie Scarface to Vince and Vince never saw Scarface, so he didn't know that it wasn't "original".

[omhat]

hall in the early days and razor hes a true bad ass, huge naturally muscular unlike steiner.

[ZmickTrick]

LOL- that isn't natural. You need to do a wee bit of research. Steiner was naturally muscular at one point (or at least, he hadn't yet gone overboard with the steriods.

[omhat]

You dont think scott hall and rick rude had one of the best bods. Steiner had a great bod, but if u look at him in his old wrestling days in the mid 80s and in his u of michigan days he was fairly scrawny. Look at Lex Luger hes paralyzed. I can only bench 250 pounds and weigh 170 pounds and am 5 ft 10 inches. I would not inject that shit just so I can lift more. I have a friend from Romania who was on a kayak team who grad. from Washington State Univ. could bench close to 500 pounds. He was cut.

[nickloks]

no one cares how much your fag romanian friend can bench you douche!!!

[omhat]

he actually is a heterosexual nickloks u fucking bitchcake, people who usually call another a fag is to hide their a fag, which you evidently are closet fag.

[nickloks]

actually people who boast that they're heterosexual means they are closet faggots like you and your fag romanian friend!!! you guys blow each other after working out?? haha romanians are bitches just like you

[omhat]

please be quiet nickloks so u can sound intelligent, and please i beg u do society a favor dont reproduce. we already have enough uneducated feeble-minded morons like u in this world. You are very fortunate because you are so damn ugly you did not have to buy a costume for halloween given the way the economy is.

[KruelAidMan]

Wow, you're a moron. Please shut up about you and your "friend" bodybuilder.

[wjrmyop]

vince should stop taking credit for making stars after all it was Paul Haymen, who created Austin, the only persona that mcmahon created was mr. mcmahon character himself

[Gamebox27]

I think he dreamed up the Undertaker gimmick, although Mark Calaway was the one to bring it to life throughout its many forms. He was a fan of westerns and always liked the undertakers in the western towns.

[speedbuggy]

@skinwalkerxxx It was Scott Hall himself that went to WWE with the Razor Ramon idea.

[MRDXKLIQ101]

WISH THERE WAS MORE CLIPS OF STUDD

[gdotlester]

if rick ryder doesnt get a push soon im gonna quit watching wrestling.

[mtf10]

Hahaha...

[okrabay]

is that magnum on the mic?

[kaizenro]

Diamond Studd vs Dick Ryder, and DDP sucked as a wrestler, much better as a manager.

[neovengeans1wife]

good god! lol

[eaglesfan325]

z-man will be diamond death dropped

[JBSchmoov]

dang Hall had some big 'traps back then.

[drummy747]

damn scott hall was buff back then

[guvguv1962]

steroid studd

[14172242]

Thank you very much dabadguy23, I had never seen anything from Hall from his pre-Razor Ramon days this was great, but I always tought the toothpick, the chest slaps, back-edge chops and of course the Razor's Edge were all Razor Ramon trademarks but now I know that Hall has been using the exact same tactics his entire career he just changes outfits, I hpew when I find something from Starship Coyote he has at least another finishing move

[ushireborn]

actually when hall wrestled in the indies as "big scott hall" he rocked a big moustache and big poofy hair. he also didn't have a toothpick; roughneck gimmick.

he used a running bulldog quite a bit. some of those vids are here on yt.

[pjdbro]

yeah...he was kind of a cowboy type gimmick

[DrLock1007]

NOBODY ....MESSES.....WITH....THE BADGUY!!

(wrestlemania the arcade game, if u were taking score)

[nesjuggalo]

Jobber alert.

[Narcotic157]

it almost looks like val venis was a rip off of this dude

[musclewrestler]

Rick Ryder has the better body

[Narcotic157]

hope your a dude

[smudgeVIW]

why you gay

[MarvinYoureNaked]

I've never seen his hair that short.

[mooky9669]

I liked DDP as a manager better....I like how Hall keeps the same moves as well. Nice upload.

[Reflex319]

i like how Hall kept the same moves all throughout his career. although he never used the bulldog off the top rope when he was Razor. but the chokeslam, fall away slam, crucifix powerbomb (razor's edge), discus punch, slap-chop combination in the corner, super back drop... and even the taunts and poses he does entering the ring, while in the ring, and outside of the ring. and the looks he gives when he's about to do a big move

[Reflex319]

and the abdominal stretch.

[ninoblaze]

Actually Hall used a bulldog from the top rope to defeat Sid in a tag team match. I think it was Razor and Marty Jannetty vs Sid and the 123 kid.

[Reflex319]

oh yea i forgot about the bulldog he used. that's another one of his signiture moves

[MarvinYoureNaked]

Flair, Hogan and Bret are guilty of the same thing...

[xpandergt]

what is the Diamond Studd's entrance music?

[saracen3000]

the diamond studd gimmick didn't last long though,cuz vince snatched hall up a little while after this match

[xpandergt]

Please do anyone know that theme song? I've heard it off and one for years, but was never able to find out the band or name of the song.

[iratem1]

What did Page stuff his pants with? A pillow?

[iCON41510]

Rick Ryder had no chance..

[yourgoingdown]

Been searching forever for a Diamond Studd video. Razor and the Studd are not totally the same but there pretty similar. Toothpick, hand gestures, same one handed chokeslam, and the Razors Edge or I mean the Diamond Death Drop lol. I think when DDP did the diamond cutter off the top rope it was called the Diamond Death Drop.

[thuggin83]

UMM no Razor and tha Studd was 2 totally different gimmicks..Razor was supposed to be Cuban and he dropped tha accent afta like a month while Studd was supposedly be some kind of heartthrob ala HBK or Rick Rude without tha mannerisms.You are right tho DDP did call his Diamond Cutter from tha top tha diamond death drop which sometimes in like video games or other sources called a super cutter..

[yourgoingdown]

Like I said they werent the same except for a few mannerisms like I mentioned above and about 2 wrestling moves the Razors Edge and that one handed chokeslam. I mean you cant deny that Scott Hall brought a few things from the Diamond Studd to Razor Ramon. Yeah I remember in the World Tour and Revenge games for the N64 you could do it off the top rope and I think I heard the announcers in WCW call it that.

[xxpandamidknightxx]

Actually, Scott's two gimmicks are not the same but in similarities; toothpick, "I'm the bad guy!" quote, Razors Edge/Diamond Death Drop, Chokeslam (which Undertaker was not the only one to do it; Vader, Hall, Kane, Sid). Hall has alot of his moves transfer from Studd to Ramon.

[yourgoingdown]

Yeah alot of wrestlers use the chokeslam at one time or another. Kevin Nash actually used the chokeslam at the end of his WCW run circa 2000. Also the double thumb point at himself as you seen on this video. I wonder if the Studd used the fall away slam/Scott Hall memorial slam or not?

[xxpandamidknightxx]

Yes he does. Look at his match in WWF/E 1996 with him against Jeff Hardy.

[613randy]

Hall was better as Razor in WWF,DDP sux, but when nash and hall started the new world order and came to wcw as the outsiders, nobody was better tha NWO, and if there wasnt NWO WCW would really sucked... NWO 4 LIFE........

[cricaafeita6969]

3-D!!??!? LOL Diamond Death Drop

[jcblanco22]

Oh, what a shocker. The Razor Ramon gimmick was lifted off of the Diamond Studd character, not that Vince would ever let anyone know that. Anyone else notice the hand gesture by Hall to the camera right before the match starts? Look familiar?

[razoramon989]

Scott Hall came up with the Razor Ramon gimmick and based it on Tony Montana from Scarface, a movie that Vince had never heard of at the time.

[mikehabibi]

I don't know how many Diamond Studd / Razor Ramon matches you've watched but those two gimmicks are totally different. Finishing move might be the same but they are totally different.

[Gamebox27]

Hmm, they seem pretty similar to me. Macho alpha male bullies that get what they want, from wins to women. The look and all the mannerisms are very similar. The only difference is Razor hops around more when doing his fist pumps and speaks with a quasi-Cuban accent. Of course, most of the differences can be attributed to one trying to fit in with DDP's stable, and the other trying to be wrestling's answer to Scarface.

[JohnnyBeatdown]

Haha Old school DDP :) GOOD GAWD!!!!

[van76]

I didn't know that the Diamond Studd was Scott Hall at first when I first saw him because I thought he was some kind of rookie.

[mooky9669]

Chairman of the board? haha..guess DDP had to do all the vocalizing for the Studd before his matches...looks like Hall has his Razor Ramon colors on...

[brnleague99]

I remember Rick Ryder from Mick Foley's first book. LOL.

[mikehabibi]

Rick Ryder looks like a midget next to Scott Hall
