You could tell the WWF was in a weird sort of transition period at this time. Furnas and Lafon were a good tag team that just didn't fit in by this point.
If they tweaked a few things, this debut could still work today. If camera doesn't follow Blackman as he is 'escorted' out and after the 'fan' does a number on the wrestlers they just kind of give him a stomp each to teach fans not to get in the ring. This would work really well.
@illad98 Jim got the nickname "the anvil" by setting a record for tossing a blacksmiths anvil at the calgary stampede. He was a strong guy
He was also a pro football player he played briefly for the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys in practices and preseason games, so you can see why he tackled him so easily
@Tinger1974 LOL, Yeah I seen this match to and thought it was real my self, really because of how Vader was all over him so he didn't get hurt but it fooled me. LOL.
What happened to him? What is Blackman doing nowdays?

Just type islanders vs outback boone blackman. That's Blackman's debut in the '80s

This is NOT Blackman's debut. He was an official wrestler on the WWF roster in the '80s.

Steve Blackman replaced the patriot on the 1997 survivor series, team america team, patriot was removed from the team due to a ripped tricep muscle.
