It’s Steve Blackkman vs. The Big Bossman in a Hardcore Championship match!
Yes, it’s the kendo stick vs. the nightstick in a no holds barred matchup!
Oh no, he threw him through the snack table! That popcorn is very abrasive!
This match is simply Russorific!
Of course, Steve comes out victorious and retains his Hardcore Title because he’s the man!
This isn’t Big Bossman Week for a reason, you know!
Wow that was horrible.
All joking aside I miss Steve Blackman. Certainly a gimmick of being a “super serious martial arts master” wasn’t as goofy as an evil dentist but he made “It’s Party Time!” a true threat.
“By Gawd King he’s the greatest Hardcore champion since Teri Runnels. Runnels…Runnels…Runnels. She’s showing some ribcage, where’s my damn bbq sauce when I need it. Sauce…sauce…sauce!!!!!!!!!!!”
It really wasnt that bad, It was a typical hardcore match back then, at least it didnt go on for 45 minutes like crap does today. RIP Bossman
It’s not a true Russo match unless there’s an item on a pole.
I remember Steve Blackman’s hardcore title reign. The matches got pretty formulaic, and maybe even a little predictable towards the end, but they were still fun.
If Blackman was in a pole match, he would simply rip the pole out, snap it in two, twirl the halves around, and 1, 2, 3, Party Time!
That would be so awesome! I’d pay good money to see that!
No, it isn’t Big Bossman week – but you know what? It easily could be! From his feud with Nailz to the Kennel from hell match to digging up the Big Show’s daddy’s corpse the Bossman found himself embroiled in plenty of crap in his career. I never watched WCW as it was, well, crap – but I bet he had his share of crap angles when he worked there too!
Oh yeah, he did a lot of stupid stuff in WCW- probably more than in the WWF, actually.
