Yeah, it sucks, but it’s from the legendary Puerto Rico outdoor show in 1985, where they had to work in a torrential downpour. Just as a sheer historical curiosity it’s worth a look for that, plus the answer to the question “Can Randy Savage save a terrible match while trying to escape a rainstorm?” The answer may surprise you. (Spoiler: No. No he can’t.)

ReplyDeleteThe whole show. Really, REALLY not worth watching in full though.
Check out that ring. I've seen better rings at flea market wrestling shows. Vince would never let his guys wrestle in something like that today. And for good reason. Not just because it looks low rent, but for safety reasons, too.
ReplyDeleteJesus and when it rains it pours because the next Puerto Rico big event was yet another junking steam of garbage save for a *** 3/4 Elimination Chamber
ReplyDeleteThanks to The Princess, I've done almost nothing this weekend save for watching old Savage promos and matches from his time in Memphis. I'm now brainwashed into thinking Savage is the greatest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteThe second someone slipped inside that ring Vince should have cancelled the show. I'm surprised the entire roster didn't walk away with broken bones and pulled muscles. What a monster.
ReplyDeleteIt's not brainwashing if it's the truth. Even Randy's shitty matches are pretty damn good. (See the OP's video for an example)
ReplyDeleteLooks safer than the one our local indy uses.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Let that sink in.
The ring is really small.
ReplyDeleteIt's like a queen size bed.
ReplyDeleteIf two great wrestlers like Randy and Tito can't go, cancel the card.
ReplyDeleteMust've borrowed it from WCW.
ReplyDeleteA MONSTER!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDeleteCONFETTI!!
