Eh, Onita is an aquired taste, lol. Still okay match. The late 80's/early 90's were pretty cool for indy wrestling. You had NWF, ICW/ICWCW, Smoky Mountain, Tri State, Windy City. And it was awesome cos you could see main event matches with big name guys at those old indy shows. Nowadays there is so much glut out on the circuit, it's slim pickings man.

Tony Atlas spoke one time about being ICWCW champion and being homeless sleeping on a park bench @ the same time b4 his Saba Simba stint in WWF. Im glad he got back on his feet somewhat on the indy circut.

No it's the Boston Bad Boy Tony Rumble.

at the beginning was that flyboy rocco rock?

[Hack Myers]

This is a bizarre match. Onita had dreams if headlining against Funk in the US with the crowds he had in Japan...

You're right. I later found out who was who since my comment. Thanx. :)

The late Anthony Magliaro was Tony Rumble/Rummel.

BUT...big Jim Lanning was Soldat Ustinov. Lanning teamed with Jim Barrell who portrayed Boris Zhukov to win the AWA tag belts in 1987.

Magliaro DID look a LITTLE bit like Lanning, but the big "Russian" was a good 50-60 pounds heavier than The Boston Bad Doy.

The late Tony Rummel aka Tony Rumble/Soldat Ustinov.
