Tito Santana Vs. Rick Martel

[lordmorphius]

I love how Tito is still wearing the Strike Force tights even after the break up.

[Christusritter]

who is the big men in yelloow?on the end

[freemyo]

@Christusritter Hakeem

[zzDzCzCzz]

@freemyo **Akeem**

[zzDzCzCzz]

@Christusritter Akeem "The African Dream" aka One Man Gang.

[hoghash78]

Looking back, if Martel was the world champ...That would have been interesting.

Almost, almost makes me think of a young Ric Flair world champ.

He could work and had mic skills

[MrSlik25]

@hoghash78 The Model would have made a great champ....did he ever even have i.c.?

[johnissoevil]

I hated seeing Strike Force break up, they were one of my favorite teams, yet at the same time, the breakup gave us this great feud.

[zzDzCzCzz]

@johnissoevil Sadly there was no proper blow off match. They were scheduled to culminate their feud at Summer slam 1990, but Martel got injured before the event. They should have ended the feud with a match at Wrestlemania 6 instead, but crappy booking ruined this promising run. Tito jobbed to Barbarian and Martel beat Koko in a squash match. Tito v Martel would have made more sense.

i love wwf and wcw, it make wrestling better, and now, wwe is keep having the same matchs with the same people, and the same rules in the match, wwe is weak right now

[akuma4u]

does anyone have the match where strikeforce broke up and martel walked out on tito?

[lordmorphius]

@akuma4u It was at wrestlemania 5 against the brain busters

[trekfanful]

Good match. Thanks for uploading.

[marsharent]

6:45 :D Strike Force were a great tag team in a whole sea of great tag teams, being enemies suited them even better

[marsharent]

wow there's a great vibe to this match, they're really going at it. What's the story with everyone else being at ringside?

[trekfanful]

@marsharent These were two opposing teams at the upcoming Survivor Series.

[biggerfreak]

These days you would only see this type of effort if it was the main event of a PPV.

[dchockeygoali07]

EVERYONE was on steroids back then, holy shit, even the mid-low carders were juiced out of their brains.

[FRSFreeStateNow]

Classic matchup here

[gymdog45]

2:08 - A flash of Tito's chimichanga?

[Tubewings]

World Wrestling Fact: All of the wrestlers involved in this match, including those in the ring, would form the Dream Team and the Enforcers teams at the upcoming Survivor Series, with the exception of Akeem (who was originally intended to be on The Enforcers, but had to bow out due to injury).

The guy that replaced Akeem? Bad News Brown, who abandoned his team at the previous year's Survivor Series.

[MidniteRocker87]

A GREAT match and a good brawl at the end to setup the Survivor Series match.

[nanefresh]

you will never see a match of this caliber with the current crop of mid carders employed by WWE.......everyone has a set of moves that they must get in ...albeit in a boring predictable manner

[kolz4ever1980]

@nanefresh What are you talking about? You won't ever see a match of this caliber even with the main eventers of today.

[MegaThriller2009]

what a shitty way to end a great match though

[stali28]

when i was a kid my brother put my sister in the bostin crab when she was acting up ...thanks rick martel your the man

[ThomasMink]

Martel and Santana were two of the best, and two of the most underutilized, stars that the WWF had at that time. Both deserved more than they got.. but at least Santana is in the Hall of Fame. Martel not being in there makes me sick when I think about it.

EVERY match these two had together, though, was full of pure awesome. I don't think Santana won any of them, which is a shame, but they were all great to watch.

[VisionofOrion]

real fans of wrestling stopped watching WWE a long time ago.

Good match, two class acts.

[KingHotdog]

this was as PG as the WWE has ever been but people still comment on how this was when wrestling was cool but still blame todays product on PG lol wrestling fans today are so stupid

[babb101]

Lol at boss man 'falling' into the ring!

[jtruffles]

WOW! Rick Martel was in awesome shape.

[lildwayne21]

WHAT A CLASSIC CONFRONTATION. This is one of the greatest matches I've ever seen.

[jckoby]

Martel's face at 6:10 is funny. Looks like my face when I just had a really explosive bowel movement with full sound effects!!

[DrFubarProzak]

@jckoby After reading your stupid post, I think I have to take a big time dump.

[1989iw]

piper one said old school is cool. now i can see why.

[mumrah22]

this fued lasted forever they were still fighting each other in 93

[chawn5]

Seeing Black Machismo talking about "tha model!" every week on impact inspired me to check out some old Rick Martel vids. Good stuff.

[johncena1fan100]

was tito in the blue

[trekfanful]

@johncena1fan100 No that was Martel. A personal favorite of mine.

[QuentinDude]

these 2 guys wrestled each other a shitload of times after they broke up, the fued like lasted more than a year

[TeslaDRay]

will sound like a dumb question but seeing these guys were so alike, who do you (or you all) thiunk was in slightly better shape? lol

[jjdsmayes]

The Red Rooster....why not just have a wrestler called "the whistling Teapot" LOL

[VinceVicious1]

@jjdsmayes And tag team called egg & spoon! I know it doesn't make sense but the thought of it made me chuckle.

[TeslaDRay]

they were such a great team. i remember when i was 8, seeing them break up - me stil thinking it was real then. i hated it. lol

[Djteedoe420]

chico santana

[ria1313]

Listen to Jesse the Body calling Tito "Chico" LMFAO!

[critikull]

You gotta love how Jesse always called it right down the middle!

[19rude87]

Tito should have won by disqualification! Bossman struck first

[eisenkreuzmusik]

and Tito did nothing illegal

[CaptainPhenomenal]

WOW wrestling sure has evolved we went from this to doing a 450 splash from a ladder throught a table

[dp100eboggan]

Yes indeed! Wrestling for the pre-myspace generation! My wife and I always used to reminisce about these matches but now we watch em like kids again.

[CaptainPhenomenal]

I was actually saying the 450 thing was good but yeah I agree this era the 90s is better then the 1 we are in now

[dp100eboggan]

Nothin wrong with smashed tables my friend! As long as I didn't pay for em!

[peterathwal99]

whoa man i forgot all about this match. thanks for the post this is tight. i grew up watching wrestling from 87-09 hellllll yeah

[SenseiV1]

Oh my God, this was the very first match I can remember watching! I am so glad to have finally found it on here. Love the backslide struggle still lol

[leonardo9336]

you dont get wrestlers and matches like this now. this was when wrestling was good

[lildwayne21]

Shame on WWE for not putting this match on the SNME DVD set

[lildwayne21]

Excellent match here

[mksand26]

was bossman suppose 2 fall at 8:30?

[CJ27870]

This was a good hard fought match...you don't see matches like this anymore.

[basb72]

i had it on tape 2 it was october fest

[WarriorSmurf]

I have this SNME on tape.

[BigEvilLadia23]

Former Tag Team know as Strike Force

[merio1977]

When wrestling was cool
